LOUISVILLE, February 12-All day the
river has been the center of attraction and
dread. The steady rise each hour dashed
the hopes of those who thought the flood had
expended its force yesterday. The highest
point of the food Of February, 1882, was
reached this afternoon and passed, and it is
now more than thirty-six feet on the falls
and sixty-four feet in the channel at the fsot
of the falls, which is but two feet below the
great food of November, lS47. The river is
yet rising slowly, with great tide from the
Kentucky river to be added. Houses along
the river front are vacated, and the drift is
damaging them seriously, breaking in
doors and windows. Fourth street is closed
from Main to the river. Every building
in ShippiDgport has from three TO eight
feet of water on the foors, and the cement
mills, the principal industry there, are all
submerged. Nine squares of Portland are
at the mercy Of the water, business being at
an end. Houses on the front will have
water on the second floors before morning.
1t is estimated that in Shippingport and
Portland 1900 people are for the
time being homeless, very many OF
them being quite poo'; among them great
suffering exists. The most fortunate open
the doors to the distressed, as many as five
families being crowded into one small house
The losses here will aggregate $4,000. The
Maitingly distilleries are under water, but
the whisky and cattle are safe. The Bellaire
distillery had equal good fortune. In the
city proper damage has been done by the
stoppage of work in factories, perhaps 1000
men being thrown out of employment,
Meikle & Co.'s great plow works,
Louisville Iron Works, Dennis Longs e1-
tensive pipe works, Kentucky Lead and Oil
Works, Bridgeford & Co.'s stove works, E1,
celsior Worss, Central Rolling Mills, Sim
mons, Eby & Hampton's planning mill, j
& C. Hall and Hall & Ediy's saw
mills are among the largest estsb
lishments closed, while otters mu-t
follow tomorrow unless the water sub
sides. Much distress exists among the poor.

The we'll. known actor of the Union Square
Theater, who died on Saturday night at his
late residence in. New York, was born in
1885, and imbibed his frat ideas of acting
from his parents. His father is veteran
theatrical manager and actor, having
reached the age of sixty nine years. His
mother was also an actress, and was formerly
Mics Maria Mestayer. She retired from the
stage in 1864. His brothers and sister,
Thomas, Edwin and Emily, all turned vout
10 be clever artists. The former died at
Hong Kong, China, of Asiatic cholera,
during professional trip to. that
country. The elder Thornes were great
travellers. They, with their American troupe,
gave representations in the most out of-the-
way foreign places, in Egypt, Abyssinia, In.
dIa, etc. The deceased married his first wife
a Boston lady, on April "a, 1859. One child
girl, was born to them. He procured a
divorce from her in Indiana in 1872, and
afterward welded, in the same year, Mary
Swift Brown, also divorced from her hus-
band, and the daughter Of a millionaire
stock. broker, of Philadelphia. He met hel
while performing in the Chestnut street
theater, of thst city, then under the
man sgement of Mr.. E. L. Davenport
He was a great favorite with hdbtue'
of that theater. la 1872 he joined the Union
Square 1heater Company 10 New York al
leading man. As that theater he became g
great favorite, making profound impress
sion by his portrayal of the leading chsrac
tiers in Led Astray, The 1iro Orphans, Mothel
and Son, The Bankers Daughter, The Genepc
Cross, A Celebrated Case, The False Friend, ano
Daniel Rochat. His professional income ws'
very large, and enabled him to live II
luxurious style. This was Supplemental
by legacy of 100000 Left him by
bis Wits father, who died last yeai
in Philadelphia. His first wife came for
ward then and contested the legality OF hi;
divorce, and apparently established her
claims upon him, although he had married
the second time in geod faith, under the i'm
preston that the divorce procured in Iadiani
was legally binding in Massachusetts,, wher'
they had been married. He recently sew
cred his connebtiou with the Union Squar'
Theater, and was performing in Booth
Theater in The Corsicdn Brothers, when h
was stricken down by the illness which ha
