THE PASSION PLAY.
Scenes From the so called Sacred
Drama.


New York. February l2.-It having been
reported IN official circles that Mr.. Morse
intended 10 give performance OF the
Passion Play" under pretence ot dress
rehearsal, the Professor was visited by
Captain Williams, who officially nonhed
him that such proceeding would not De
permitted. Mr.. Morse had no intention oil
giving such Il performance, but intended
merely to rehearSe an act OF the play In
the presence of few spectators. Owing to
the difficulty in setting the stage u was
very late before the rehearsal began, and
two scenes only were presented. Inc hrst
of these was the Massacre OF the Inno,
cents" 1t was not very interesting, anu
An hour and half was expended IN the
grouping Of the immense force or super
numerarieS and in trying over repeatedly
the posing Of the multiLudes.'
The second scene rehearsed was that De-
tween HerOd and Herodias, introducing
Salome and q multitude. In this scene
occurs the dance OF Salome before Herod
and the martyrdom of John the Baptist;
This was exceedingly interesting well
worked out, dramatically strong ana Ihor-
oughly effective, without being IN any way
offensive. The handling OF the crowd was
wonderfully effective, and a nearer ap-
prOaCh 10 the "Meininger' method than
ANYTHING that has been seen in New YORK.
Herodias was interpreted by jewish
woman OF fine physique, who delivered her
lines with good effect The man who
PLAYED HerOd is of fine appearance, mas

ably adapted TO the character which ne

a Domeatic Scandal at Jamestown,
New York.

JAMESTOWN, n. Y, February IA do
mestic scandal has Just come to light by the
serving of papers on Joel Darling, we'll
known and prosperous citizen, charging
him with holding criminal conversation
with the wife of Joel d. Mack, the com
plainant being Mr.. Mack. The suit will be
tried in the Supreme Court. 1t is claimed
by Mack that Darling was found locked in
a room with the formers wife at
the Woodbine Hotel, which Is con-
Quoted by Mr.. Mack, on the night OF the
3lst Of January. When he was admitted
by his wife, the lamp was turned down,
and Darling was discovered crouching be-
hind the bed. Mack covered him with q
revolver and kept him there until the
arrival Of an officer.
Darling states that he merely went into
the room to get a drink, and that Mrs
Mack locked the door without his so!icita-
ton. When he heard Mack at the door he
turned down the light and hld behind the
bed so that Mach could not shoot him. He
also states his belief that it is an attempt
on .he part of the complainant, to eXtort
blackmail, and that he is guiltless OF the
charge brought against him.

LOUISVILLE, February 12.-The Courier
Journals Frankfort special says the Ken
tucky river was forty-three feet at noon
and rising tbree-quarters OF an inch
an hour. 1t is expected to continue
to rise until night.fall. One thousand peo-
pie are homeless, and there is much distress
everywhere. Communication with the
outside world is cut off save by telegraph
and turnpike. The low ground in
Frankfort known as the "Craw," and
a large part of South Frankfort is entirely
submerged. The highest land about Frank
fort is now an island caused by back water.
Residences two miles back from the river
are under water. The Hermitage and o.
+. e. disti!leries are covered on the first
floors, and six hundred head of cattle are
standing in water above their knees. The
water is three feet six inches on
the cellar floors Of tie penitentiary
and over nearly the entire prison
Yards. The prisoners are loose in the
chapel and doubled up in cells. The
station house is hourly expected to go
down. Thousands OF people line the river
banks on both sides watching the heavy
drift and houses go down. II is the highest
stage the river was ever known 10 reach.
The damage already reaches one hundred
thousand dollars.

PIG IRON.
senator Mitchell in Defense OF Penn.
SyIyauja's Leading Industry

WASHINGTON, February l2.-In the Sen
production lay at the foundation OF the
iron industries of the country, AMI that if
it were undermined the whole structure
would fail. The present duty of seven dol
lorS per ton was low, and he didn't believe
the industry in Pennsylvania could bear
any reduction OF the duty. There was no
good reason why pig iron should be in-
ported from abroad, and under properly
adjusted tariff nsne would be. The ques.
tion Of duty on pig iron concerned not
merely the various branches Of the iron
industry. but also the farmers OF the West,
because the market for sixty per cent. OF
their food products depended upon the
the maintenance Of our manufactures.

INDINSAPoLrS, February l2.-The Ohio
river is still rising at all points in this
State. At New Albany the water is ten
inches higher than the flood of 1881. About
three fOurths of the manufactures are now
flooded and if the rise continues till mid
night every furnace in the immense glass
works of W. c. Depau will be under water.
His loss will be fully one hundred thou
sand dollars. Other establishments will
suffer to an equal amount and perhaps
much larger. About five hundred
houses are Hooded in the lower part
of the city. Two or three thousand EN-
ployes will be thrown out Of work if the
flood continues. Between Evansville and
Henderson the telegraph poles are covered
in some places and wires are strung on the
tops Of trees. Lawrenceburg is completely
inundated, the only communication from

LOUISVILLE, February 12-The food here
has reached the highest point OF the food
OF February %, 1852, and is rising an inch
and half per hour. Business and nayi-
cation are partially suspended. No loss Of
life is yet reported, but damage to property
on Front street is very heavy.
Midnight Report
LOUISVILLE KY, February l3.-1 A. M
All day the river has been the center of at.
traction, and the dread, steady rise dashed
the hopes Of those who thought the food
would expend its force yesterday. The
highest point of the fOod of February.
1852, was reached this after noon and
passed, and now that is more than &c feet
on the falls and Oh feet in the channel at
the foot OF the falls, which is but two feet
below the great December flood Of 1Si7.
The river is yet rising slowly, with the
great tide from the Kentucky river TO be
added. The houses along the river front
are vacated, and drift is damaging them
seriously, breaking doors and windows.
Fourth street is closed from Main street
to the river.
Every Building
in Shipping Port has from three to eight
feet of water on the foor, and the mill, the
principal industry there, is all submerged.
Nine squares Of Portland is at the mercy
OF the water, business being at an end.
The houses on front street will have water
on their second floors before morning. 1t
is estimated that in Shipping Port and
Portland eight hundred people are for the
time homeless, very many of them being
quite poor. Among them great suffering
exists The more fortunate open doors to
the distressed, as many as five families
being
Crowded Into One Small House.
The losses here will aggregate $4,000.
The Mattingly distilleries are under water.
The whisky and cattle were saved. The
Bellaire distillery had equal fortune. In
the city proper heavy damage was done by
the stoppage of work in the factories. Per-
haps 1000 men are thrown out OF employ
ment. Merkle & Cos, great plow works,
the Louisville Iron Works, Dennis Long 8
extensive pipe works, the Kentucky Lead
and Oil Works, Bridgeford * Co.'S, stove
works, the Central Rolling Mill,
and Simons, Ely & Hampton's planning
mills are among the largest establishments,
while others may follow tomorrow, unless
the water should subside. Much distress
exists among the poor. Mayor Jacobs has
ordered the lying IN hospital ready to re-
ceive sufferers, who will be cared for at the
City's expense for the time being.
