625 losses. with an estimate of Sl9,-
900 to cover unreported losses, was
not far from correct. The losses in
the aggregate from the food will
not be beyond $4,000.
The heavy losers are J.F. Garrett,
building, $4,000; P'Pool & Baugh,
stock, $4,000. with probably $1,000
salvage; w. A. Martin, stock SO 900,
with $1,000 salvage; w. H. Olvey,
stock of $500, with some salvage.
| These losses were all in the building
in which the wall fell, pulling the
roof down. Waller & Rogers, whose
furniture loss on the second floor
was 81 200, will be able to save
about 5000. This makes the total
loss there about $4,000. Kress &
Co., have not given out an estimate
of their loss. The cellar is now clear
of water, anc the heating plant run
ming. The estimate of $4,000, based
on total loss, may be reduced one
half, as chinaware, glassware. etc.,
was not hurt. The loss to the mill
linery stock of Davis, Kennedy &
fCo.; estimated at $500. may be re-
Gduced to $500. Miss S. B. Hooser
and Keegan & Co., in adjoining
stores, find that their estimates of
500 each were too high. They lost
nothing at all. V. M. Williamson's
loss, put at 5000, was not too low. 1t
will be $4OO, as his cash register is
ruined. Reach & Co., put at $500,
will get off at half that. They NOV
ed back yesterday into the ware
room that was flooded. The Taber-
nacle loss was also much too high,
and may be cut down from 81 900
to $3.50. Other losses were about as
reported by the KENTUCKIAN. Some
new losses have been found. One of
these that was heavy was that of
w. H. Cummings & Co.'S tobacco
warehouse, on Elm street. Their
| Damage is probably $500.
w. 7. Williamson, Robt. Vaughn
and Mrs Emma Boyd, who live on
Elm street. all lost $25 to $50 each
in fencing, etc. All of the heating
plants submerged are again in oper-
alton.
The front wall of the Garrett
building is to be torn down as soon
as the contract can be let.
The City Light Co. is one of the
heaviest losers. Their plant was
2 feet and 7 inches under water and
the damage was so great that it will
be several days yet before the street
lights can be turned on. Chas. Duck
err, the youthful engineer, staid in
the engine room until the water
forced him out and he waded through
water waist deep in escaping.
The loss in the country in flooded
wheat fields, shock corn swept away
and fences destroyed is larger than
at first reported.
