Covington is very slightly damaged by the flood. The water has receded from most all the houses on Front-st., and there is no water on W. Third-st. Not over 500 people, all told, have been discommoded by the flood, except the hands thrown out of employment by the flooding of the mills and foundries. The heaviest loser in the city will be the Hemingray glass-works, aud [sic] and the loss here can’t be accurately stated until the water has entirely left the works. It will not fall short of $25,000. Street cars are running between the city and the west end, and by to-morrow they will be able to run to Newport. The foundries will not resume operations for several days.
