 CLEVELAND, Feb. 5.-The subsiding of the waters allows some estimate to be- made of the damage inflicted by the foods The losses through northern Ohio thus far re- ported amount to over $1, 100000 and as many of the telegraph wires are still down it is probable that the full extent of the dam age is not yet known. The lumber firms of Cleveland alone lose over $25o,o and the reports show proportionate losses throughout the flooded districts.
 The loss by the floods in this city reaches over two million dollars. Fred Schneider, 8 boy, and two unknown men were drowned outside the city. All over northern Ohio many lives are lost. The Lake Shore road at Ere mont lost two railroad bridges. The Connot- ton road lost many bridges and two trains. James McAllister, an engineer, and two oth- CTS were killed near Kent. brakeman named Hartman was drowned at Mt Vernon. The loss to manufacturers at Akron will reach $75, 5,OOO Half of Fremont is inunda ted. The Nickel Plate bridge and several cars were swept away at Willoughby. Thirty or forty railroad bridges were swept away within forty miles of Cleveland. The Valley road cannot run trains for week. The loss in four counties of northern Ohio will reach $3, GOO, ,0OO or $4 GOO. GOO.
 BUFFALO, Feb. 5.-Nelson Waldron of the Madison Square Theatre, New York, arrived in Buffalo this morHing having been forty hours coming from Chicago. He says there were two serious washouts on the Lake Shore road at Fremont, Ohio, and thirty two freight cars were thrown into the wa ter. The damage by water and floods in this city is quite serious in many ways. Nearly the whole of the Thirteenth ward is sub merged. At Martins Corner, near here, the damage is great. The bridge of the Lacka- wanna railroad over the Buffalo creek is re- ported unsafe from the effects of the flood. Train five, which left Clean tt o'clock this morning was wrecked near Honesdale by bridge which had been wrecked by the floods. The engineer fremen and train employees were killed. It is not yet known whether other lives were lost or not.
 WAYNE, IND., Feb. 5.-The Nickel Plate railroad bridge at Leipsic has gone down and the trains are delayed. The canal aqueduct is greatly weakened and the mayor and coun- cil have taken measures to repair 1t at all hazards and prevent the inundation of the city. The telegraph service has been almost restored and trains are moving, but not on time The bridge at Keystone on the Fort
 
 down last night.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 5.-The White river is higher than it has been for several years. Some of the streets are flooded. Dispatches from other points report all the streams swol- len to overhowing and many railroad bridges washed away. At Innis, Ind, the greatest food in the memory of people has over flowed farms and washed away houses fences, and every species of movable prop erty. Travel is suspended and in portions of She1byville there are several feet of water in the streets. The damage along the White river is very serious, but no estimate of the loss can be made at this time The Wabash river is booming at all points. Two spans of the Wabash St. Louis and Pacific railroad went down at Logansport. All the regular trains are abandoned The flood is general throughout the State.
 PIrTsBURa, Pa., Feb 5.-The water in the Alleghany was twenty-five feet in the chan nel at a. m. and falling six inches an hour. No ice is coming down and the reports from up the river indicate that the freshet will subside rapidly. The ice gorge above Mo Keesport in the Tough river is sixteen miles long. It moved this morning as far as Os- cosla and there is a gorge formed again which will scarcely move with this water. The high water in the Monongahela formed by the back water from the Ale ghany is falling at the rate of four inches an hour The damage in Alleghany is princi pally from goods injured in cellars, and no fairly approximate estimate can yet be made in and travel is resuming it's normal condi-
