THE NEW ENGLAND FLOOD.

Springfield Mass. March 2s-Two
flood waves born of the rain storms
in northwestern New England, earlier
in the week, swept down the Connec-
ticut river, today causing some dam
age to property in the low lands
necessitating the shutting down OF
many Industries, and interfering with
railroad traffic at several points So
far as known there was no loss of
life. The flood was not record
breaker but many old marks were
threatened
The first wave as the higher and at
sunset, tonight, the crest as passing
Holyoke and as being watched with
some anxiety by the river bank in
habitants below that city.
The second wave was following 125
miles behind, having driven the low
land settlers from their homes at
Woodsville y H., last night, and car
ried out dam on Israels river, a
tributary of the Connecticut at Lam
caster, this forenoon. The second

OHIO RIVER ON RAMPAGE,

Cincinnati. Ohio, March 2S.-As tn
waters of the Ohio river continue Il
rise, increased in volume by the fuo
waters from tributaries east and

flood in its history. Late today, tn
river stage was "a feet, with indica

the mark OF 1884, the record year.
Weather forecasters here, tonight
expressed conviction that, during to-
morrow, the river would reach Gs fee
and would go to the 10 foot mar
carly next week, probably, Monday
The weather bureau also declare
there would be a further rise of )
10 feet at all points above here, with
in the next two or three days.
At Cincinnati the conditions are no
yet acute, but the worst is feared
All low land to the west and east a.
the city is submerged and also al6

are gradually disappearing under the
Ohio river No loss of life has b
reported here
Along the Kentucky shore, condi-

Covington more than 500 houses are
reported submerged and their oecu-
pants are being given shelter and pro-
lection in public buildings.
Plans are. rapidly being formulated
to care for flood sufferers and a meet
ing was held at Covington, tonight, a.
which arrangements were made to
raise sufficient fund for the poor.
At the same time arrangements Were
also made for policing the flood zone
and prevent looting.
As the Ohio and Licking rivers rise

Eithough it was expected that some

President Wilson, today, made pub

Hereafter postmasters in the larger

AT DAYTON, Ohio.

South Dayton, Ohio, March Is
Eight hundred dead is the averag q
estimate of seven eighths of Dayton
undertakers called together fer a con
ference, tonight. They reported s.
bodies had been recovered and now
are at various places in the city. In
diVidual estimates of the undertakers
We're from 500 to 1000 but the consen.
sus of opinion was that 500 would be
q conservative figure. Exploration OF
several recesses of the city, today, n
newspaper men hardly would justifg
such an estimate.
Orders had been issued for all
bodies to be brought To general
morgue established in garage. This
had not been needed, as less than half
the bodies found. according to the UNI
dertakers, had been brought there, to-
night.
There has been keen competition be-
tween undertakers for possession Of
unidentified bodies and many of then,
have been taken to undertaking estab-
Iishments not under water
A general call for all undertakes to
meet was sent out by John II. Pat
terson, in charge of relief work in an
effort to have the work of recovering
bodies organized. Thirty undertalers
were present and all said they based
their estimates of the dead to a gen
eral survey of the situation.
Louisville life savers made a trip
into Riverdale and North Dayton sec
tons wl2ere it was feared there had
been great loss of life. They did not
find a body and said they believed
few would he found. An expedition OF
Cleveland Naval Reserves brought
practically an identical report.
AS so large a part of the city had
been explored and information OBJ
tanned failed to bear out earlier esti-
mates of great loss the announcement
of the undertakers came as surprise
to those most familiar with the situa-
ton.

Special trains bearing clothing, provi-
