Alarming State of A fairs I'm Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, February 14-The Ohio river
is forty lone feet six inches, and rising ono inoh
an hour. Reports from upper points of rain
and continued rise in the Ohio and tributary
creeks create immense excitement. Business
is practically at stand-still. No boats ar
rive or depart Trains on the railroads are
irregular; many have stopped entirely. Old
river men predict that if the river does not
coon recede it will cut across the east end
and surround the entire city. The widest
estimates of damage to property continue 10
be made. Nobody knows what the esti.
mate should be. Nothing further is known
regarding the loss OF life by the cutoff die
as;er, owing to the impossibility of entering
houses. The people are all on the streets.
The food is the only subject of discussion.
1t is generally agreed that loss of life has
not been extraordinarily large.
RISING SLOWLY BUT STEADILY.
Moht-The river has risen slowly but
steadily ali day, and is now rising an inch
an hour, but owing to the preparation
made less damage is being d ne than
that at the beginning OF the food. Owing 10
the fact that the former gsuge.marks are go
far under, water discrepancies occur in
the statements of the stage of the river.
Il is enough to cay that the water is higher
than ever known here before, the stage OF
the river at this hour may safely be put al
forty-two feet at the head of the
canal, sixty-eight feet at the foot of the falls,
aud worse coming. Ali along the seven miles
of the Louisville river front, to day, the
water has been creeping into the second
stories, and a large number of ad.
ditional buildings are at this hour under
water. The general aspect of the siiu-
alton remains unchanged. Two lives were
lost by an accident this morning. Since the
lsst report the h-svy embankment of the
Short Line railroad, not far renewed from
the river front, broke at the foot of Clay
street, for sixty feet on the point, the earth
being swept away, rails and ties twisted
around. The road is under water from Firs
to Wengel, a distance of nine squares, q
depth of from four 10 ten feet. Many peopl,
refuse to leave their homes in the inundated
districts, as the thieves are plundering in al
| directions.

What the shOeMakers ask is that Congress

products TO foreign market, and still further
Increase the wages of the workmen. Nothing
prevents these things but the tariff law.
