BIG LOSS AT CINCINNATI No Improvement in the Situation. RIVER RISING AT LOUISVILLE
 - Many People of Poorer Sections
 Are Homeless. At shawneetown, The Leeves Are stiil Holding But Are Being Carefully Guarded At All Hours By
 Citizens.

Cincinnati, Jan. 19.--With the crest of the flood not yet in sight and a prospect of near approach to the im- mense loss from high water of Febru- ary, 1884, attempts were made today to estimate the losses from this present flood in. this city and environs-
 The commission houses. which are principally located in the lowiands now under water, have already suffered damage estimated at $100,000. Many thousands will be lost by factories through enforced idleness and unpro- ductiveness and more than 10000 idle men will lose their wages during the continuance of the present high stage of the river. Not less than fifteen thous- and people have been driven from their homes In Cincinnati and in the Ken lucky suburbs. most of them being forced to depend upon charity for their food and lodging
 Nearly fifty squares in Newport; over dozen in Covington, and large sec- tions in the east ana west ends and In the mill creek sections of Cincin- natl are under water.
 The East End Is threatened with darkness and the shutting off of cleo tric power for the car lines in the en- tire eastern section and suburbs of the city. These are conservative estimates of present conditions ana suffering and the worst Is yet to come. Above six ty-five feet" is the conservative pre- diction of the forecast official as to the probable crest Of the flood. but the reports from up the river caused him to express a fear this afternoon that much worse was Tn store.
 Reports from river cities both above and below Cincinnati continued to come in with pleading for nelp and food. From some of the nearer flooded towns refugees came to this city and are lodged wherever quarters could be found. 44
 At o'clock this morning the stage at this point was sixty-two feet, the water having passed the highest re- cords since that of Sebruary. 1884. during the night. For a distance of four squares from the normal water front the lower portions of the city are flooded.
 Bridges Cut on.
 The bridges are cut off from the land except for narrow foot passage and a few more inches will close this gap, leaving the railroad bridges as the only means of communications for foot pas sengers between the Kentucky side of the river and this city. This affects seriously several thousand people who work in Cincinnati and whose homes are in Newport, Covington and the other Kentucky suburbs. An unknown man attempted to reach friends who were on a second floor on Water Street

 Several HourA. .

Tuscaloosa. Jan --(Special.) -. At the government boat Nugent. was com ing ur the river pushing several barg. es. a large derrick amongst the oth- CTS. the boom of the derrick struck the draw span of the Fosters Ferry bridge. forcing 1t open and stopping the traf- fic for nearly twelve hours.

Warning to the Public.

People should know, but a
great many do not, that the pos
tai laws prohibit placing written
messages in merchandise pack
ages,or.. r..newspapers,on on which less
than two cents an ounce has
been paid. II is permissible TO
make a mark to attract attention
TO a printed article in a newspa-
per, but to write a letter on the
margin is another matter. Dur
ing the last fiscal year pOstofiee
inspectors collectors collected
$50, 065 for violation Of this rule.
Finding that in a great number
of cases the offense was due TO
ignorance Of the law, and that
the collection OF the fine usually
works a hardship 70 the poor
especially where written mes.
sages are made In returning con-
pons, tags aud certificates for
premiums. Postmaster. General
Meyer has directed that proper
notices be placed in postofiices

practice.

THE BIO SHOW COMING.
FOrepaugh q Sells Bros Circus
Down for Early Date.

Down TOT Ehfty bhte.
Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Bros. famous circus, now the
biggest and best ia America, viii
give two exhibitions in Rich Elii,
on Friday, September 27th.
No other circus has made the
improvements and the growth
that have been attained by this
splendid organization. Since It's
last appearance in this locality, it
has almost doubled itself in d.
mensions and has added so many
European acts that the perform
ance has an absolutely different
aspect Of originality and new
ness. The main tent is the larg.
est spread Of canvas ever made.
The free street parade, on an en-.
sirely new plan and with novelty
in its every feature. represents
one million dollars in money.
Another fortune was spent on
the great FIRE drama, with its
1000 costumes, fire fighting ap-
paratus and train load of seen
cry. The menagerie has been
given distinction above all others
by the addition OF a half dozen
rare geological specimens not to
be seen anywhere else. The
program which follows the spec.
tacle abOunds in great acts, the
majority Of which are new in this
country. The sensation of the
program is the automobile som.
erset of Mile. La Raque, a
young French woman, whose
awful act is an invitation to
death itself. This act must not
be confounded with so-called
thrillers of the past. which are
tame in comparison to it.
Among others the management
has secured the great Spessardy
and his wonderful trained bears
from Europe; zobedie, the great
upside. down man; Joseph La
Fleur, the French gymnsst; the
wonderful Flying Fishers, and
the lie Vans, the greatest aerial
lists in the world; Rebecca Dan.
iels, Orrin May and Victoria
Davenport. the great Wallet, Os.
car Lowanda and Miss Shipp,
the seven best riders on earth;
the famous Lockhart trained ele-
plants; Captain Webb.s educat-
ed seals and George Devoe's post
graduate; and Corallas and the
Dollars, Fred Welcome and the
celebrated Jennets, the cleyerest
acrobats OF two continents; the
GoItE trio, who were the talk OF
all Paris last winter, aud the Ne
varos and Miss Nettie Carroll,
the greatest high.wire artists
that ever lived.
