None but Those Having Business in Dayton Will Be Permitted to Go About Among Wrecked Build lngS

The revised estimated loss i'll Dayton received last night gives ground for the hope that the dead in all sections affected by the flood will not exceed 2,OOO and may go below that fig urc. Daring investigators, who penetrated the flooded sections, revealed that hun dreds are safe who it was feared were lost. Unless swelled by the death list in the foreign settlement on the north side as yet un- reached, it may not be that there are more than POO dead ill the whole city.
 At other points the death list grew rapidly yesterday and last night. There was far heavier loss of life on the west side of Columbus than was thought. One es- innate placed the number of dead at more than 600. Apparently authentic re- ports from Piqua indicated that twenty are dead.
 At Peru, Indiana. the death list reached 15O. From Hamilton, fifty were report ed drowned ill the collapse of a hotel where they sought refuge. Twenty-Five deaths are reported from Troy, thirty at Middletown, five at Massillon and twenty five at Chillicothe.
