COLUMBUS, O., March 30. -- The following message was received at the Governer's office from Harry Maddy, of Gallipolis, a representative of the Ohio Board of Administration:
"The river at Gallipolis is up to the 67-foot stage, six feet higher than ever before, but it is now gradually falling. The Ohio Hospital for Epileptiv here is O. K., and is take care of 200 people, while the town is taking care of 300 additional. There has been no loss of life. The Hocking Valley Railroad can not get within seven lanes of Gallipolis."
Mr. Maddy also says that the town is able to take care of itself, and if the Governor cares to use it as a distributing point of supplies for Pomeroy, Ironton or Portsmouth, they will be able to use steamboats for such purpose. Supplies however, will come from the outside world, as these cities have supplies for themselves which will last only for about a week.
