South Dayton, March 2S.-Eight
hundred dead rs the average esti-
mate of seven-eighths of Dayton's s
undertakers called together for a
conference tonight. They report 50
bodies have been removed and are
now at various places in the city.
Exploration today by newspapermen
would hardly justify such large es-
innate. Louisville life savers made a
trip into Riverside and North Dayton
where it was feared would be a great
loss of life. They did not find one
body and said they believed few will
be found.

Chicago Telephone Company Receives
Analysis of Flood Conditions
in Ohio.

Chicago, March 2S.-Alonzo Burt,
vice-president Of the Chicago Tele-
phone Company, has received by wire
tonight the following analysis of
flood conditions in Ohio:
Delaware with light, water, tele-
phone, people not affected relieving
their own destitute No outside help
needed.
Washington-Slig damage. Send
ing relief to other places.
Newark telegraph and
transportation crippled. People re-
lieving their own destitute and plan
ming to send relief to GAINESVILLE.
Circleville-No suffering.
Lancaster-No sdffering.
Telegraph and trans
portation crippled. no water or light;
no outside relief needed.
Sidney-Merchants taking care of
people; both reservoirs are safe.
Troy-No outside aid needed.
illicothe-Condition bad; 5000
homeless; 500 families need assist
ance; limited provisions left; want
money and food.
Logan-No help needed.
Piqua-Needs another militia COM
pany to prevent looting; plenty Of
supplies coming in, with well-organ-
lied relief.
Fremont-Some loss of life and
property. Victims cared for locally
Tiffin-Suffering relieved by the
local committee and supplies from
Toledo.
Ottawa-Relieved by Lima. Lima
and Defiance taking care of them
selves.
Dayton's loss OF life may not ex-
ceed 200. This is the estimate of
newspaper men ami several other re-
sponsible men who toured the strick-
en- city. The undertakers place the
number at 500. The property loss
will probably exceed $50, 100000.
The loss of life is confined almost
entirely to North Dayton, inhabited
by foreign laborers. and to West Day
ton, which comprises the residences
of a more substantial character, and
to Riverside. In Daytonview and
other residence districts there is al
most no loss of life.
Several lives are known to have
been lost in the business district, but
