Louisville. April 2.--Weakened by the
flood waters. the large warehouses of
the Rugby Distillery Co. in theh western
end Of the city, collapsed early today,
releasing to the river about 5000 bar
rels of whiskey, valued at $25O,0O0. The
threatened collapse of other weakened
buildings is the only source of anxiety
today as the crest of the flood has
passed Louisville with stage slight
ly over forty-five feet.
Lower river points continued the eX-
perience of rising water. At Paducah
with the water over two feet deep in
the lower sections, the city is deprived
of a lighting plant. Henderson and
Owensboro are safe from the flood
damage, but are taxed with the care
of hourly increasing refugees.
At Wickliffe, where are gathered,
over 5000 refugees from Hickman,
Cairo and Columbus, the shelter situa-
ton is becoming acute.
Preparations at Cairo.
Cairo, April Cairo had little re-
spite from the flood scare today, due
to the fact the Ohio rivers stage stood
still from midnight, when reading
fifty-four. The relief, say the engin-
GERS, is only temporary and due to
passing the crest in the Wabash of the
high water and the outlet into the
drainage district of the low lands.
The crest of the Ohio river flood is
stationary onlytwenty -four hours, the
the great. area of the drainage dis
tricts will be under twelve feet, of
water.
Traffic Paralyzsd. ~. -. g.
TrafTic on the main line of the Illi-
nois Central was paralyzed today be-
cause of the washouts of tracks be-
tween Cairo junction and the Cache
river in the drainage district which is
now rapidly filing with water. The
water went over the tracks early this
ed property are said to- be four miles
long. Several hundred feet of track
has been washed out.
The crest of the Ohio river is re-
ported to be in the vicinity Of Evans
vile and there may be a decided
drop before the high water arrives.
The high water mark continued to
hover about fifty-fou and one tenth,
a fact which gave considerable en-
couragement.
River Falling.
Cincinnati, April 2.--After remaining
stationery only twenty-four hours, the
Ohio river began falling today.

War Garrison returned from his trip

geon General Blue also returned and
said, While the health conditions are
