The Ohio river stood at forty.seven
feet six inches yesterday evening at SIX
o'clock, which showed rise Of one inch
during the previous twenty-four hours At
Cincinnati II rose two feet five inches dur
ing the same time; and at Chattanooga 1t
Tell three feet four inches; at Nashville,
five inches and at Louisville, eleven inches.
The officers of the Gus Fowler reported
last evening that the river had risen but
one and fraction of an inch at Paducah,
which is looked upon as proof that the
water is about run out and will soon begin
to fall at this point. The Mississippi river
is still rising little at ST. Louis.
An engagement has been made by man
ager T. W. Shields, of the Opera House,
with Mr.. AL. II. Simmonds, general agent
of the "Athony & Ellis Famous Ideal I'm
Gle Toms Cabin Company" by which the
company is to appear on the Opera House
stage in this city on next Saturday after
noon and night. The company has an ele-
| giant palace car Of its own, of more than
usual length and magnifcently furnished
| with all the conveniences of the modern
home. The company will arrive Saturday
morning and will throw its car open for in
spection by the public during the day. Mr..
Simmonds is now in the city perfecting ar
rangements for the appearance the troupe
The news of the death of Mr.. Tony
Fogass, at his home at Birds Point, Mo,
was received with much surprise by his
many friends in this city. 1t occurred
night before last, near midnight, after but
a short illness. He had been for number
Of years citizen of Cairo, engaged in the
liquor and restaurant business with Mr..
Gus Botto. He removed from here two or
three years ago, going to Birds Point,
where he engaged in the liquor business
for himself. He was doing very well, for
he succeeded in accumulating money
enough to buy very convenient little
piece of ground and building store and
residence thereon. About year ago his
wife died and but few months he mar
ried again. He leaves his wife and num-
Der of ceildren to mourn his death. His
remains will probably be inferred at Bird s
Point.

the walk On the south side of Tenth street
west of Walnut has been in half fin
ished condition, with the curb two or three
inches higher than the walk, forming res
ervoir for the water when it rains as it al
ways does now, to be chrrned with the mud
and cinders, mostly mud, that forms the bed
of the walk into mortar that is death on
white skirts, shoe blackiug and angelic
tempers. The property, we understand, is
owned by Dr. Moore, of st. Louis, and we
suppose the walk is left in its present shape
for the purpose of covering with brick or
stone, but residents on that side of the
street think q year is plenty long enough in
which to decide what he wants, and hope he
will authorize somebody to do something
with something, quick, even if it is only
cinders that is used
Mayor Thistewood has appointed
three or four patrolmen to watch the Mis-
sissippi levee every night. This is not done
because it is necessary. There is fully a
space of seven feet between the top of the
Mississippi levee and the river, and there is
no current whatever, the water being all
back water from the Ohio river. The new
portion Of the evee Is also entirely safe. 1t
could stand not less than six feet more wa
ter than it now holds back. 1t is entirely
sound everywhere and there are no wash
ings in it and no probability that there
will be any, as there is no current. Mayor
Thistewood made tour of inspection over
the entire length Of the levee q few days
ago and found it in excellent condition and
capable Of withstanding any amount of wa
ter that is likely to come from either the
Ohio or Mississippi rivers. No one doubts
but that the Ohio levee is equal in every
respect to any emergency, that is, of course,
80 long as it is not permitted to disappear
little by little but the Mississippi levee is
at least foot higher than the Ohio levee
and is strong enough to stand against any
pressure that could be brought to bear
against it,
