Louisville Is In Danger.

Louisville, Ky, March 2S.--With the Ohio river showing rise of only | of foot an hour and no develop. ments between Louisville and Cincin- natl to indicate anything higher than the original prediction of .rest at Louisville of 45 feet. the only discor- certing reports received here today were those from ,ParKersburg, W. Va i. telling of a stage of 64 feet. As fore casts on the crest had been based prior to that time on the stages be- tween here and CatistlsDurg. tpgeth- CT with the statement that the river was falling at Pittsburg, all estimates were upset and all feared a more se- rious flood than had been anticipated. Measuring advices from Washington, where flood experts in the weather bureau said that 54 feet at Parkers- burg had been probably misunder- stood, as 64 feet offered much en- couragement.
 The reports received tonight from points between Louisville and Gin cinnati on the east and Louisville and Mississippi on the west all told of the greatest precautions having been taken to prevent any loss of life when the highest stages are reached in the Ohio.
 Funds were started today to care for the refugees, most of whom are driven out of their homes when the lowlands in and around Louisville were flooded several days ago.
 Announcement was made tonight that it was not believed the power plants would be flooded. Fears had been entertained that electric railway service in this city as well as south ern Indiana would stop on tais ac- count.

CAREFUL RESUME OF FATALITIES IN INDIANA AND OHIO DE-
 cREAsEs THE ROLL.
LOLUMB BUS HEAVIEST LESS
Late Estimates Place Total of Day. ton Deaths at Only 15o While Columbus Has f6O--Latcst
 List of Fatalities.

investigations yet tend to confirm the estimates of fewer than 800 dead in the floods that swept over score of cities in Ohio and Indiana last week. As the waters receded, at Dayton, Columbus. and other places, leaving thick scovering of mud, the alarm was caused by a rapid rise of the Ohio and the Mississippi rivers inundating parts of cities along their banks. There is not much danger of loss of life in these places, how ever, as the inhabitants have hills to flee to and are used to floods.
 Revised reports indicate that the number drowned in Dayton may not exceed 150. although there are those who say the number will be much greater.
 The death list at Piqua, Ohio fell off from the estimate of 50 to 12, known dead.
 The latest estimates show the fol- lowing deaths:

EVANSVILLE GETS
 RELIEF AT LAST
AFTER FIVE DAYS OF ISOLATION RELIEF TRAIN FINALLY
 REACHES CITY.

Zanesville, O., March 29.--(Via tel ephone to Pittsburg) Relief reached Zanesyilie late this afternoon anG for the first time since the flood came upon the city last Tuesday the tired civil and military officers felt that the worst of the story had been told. Five additions were made to the list of known dead. reported this morning, bringing the total to ten, and the receding waters showed that that the best estimate as to the property damage had not been exs ceeded by the facts.
 The Ohio river construction crew, working from New Concord succeed ed in reaching point within two miles of the depot in Zanesyille and from theye heavy wagons loaded with provisions and clothing were sent overland to the city. A dozen col lapsible boats were received and were at once manned and sent on through the districts where the cur rent was not too swift to interfere with their progress. By this means many persons were rescued from houses that for days have been sur rounded by water
 Additional companies of the Ohio national guard arrived during the day and relieved the soldiers of the local companies. Among their first duties was protection to panic strick- en people from two cases of small pox which are said to have develop ed. Guards were thrown around these places and none but the health au- thorities permitted to approach with in a block.
 Details of the plan for cleaning up the city were completed when the ac- tive heads of manufacturing con cerns employing in the aggregate some 5000 men, decided not to re- sume operations. but to turn their forces over to the authorities for the street work.
 The gas supply, which has been fit- ful, failed entirely this afternoon and 800 men were sent to the coal mines near by to get out coal which will be distributed to the destitute.

15.ooo Homeless at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, March 2S.-With nearly 16,000 persons i'll the towns on the Kentucky side of the Ohio river driv- en from their homes by the rising tide that is sweeping down the Ohio valley and with more than $500 homes altogether Or partly submerged, the flood situation in this vicinity is as- suming graver proportions hourly. Here the water front buildings are all partly under water and much dam age has been done.
 An increase in the river stage at this point will mean the complete iso- lation of the city from the Kentucky side and the stoppage of train ser vice in this direction. Late today the government gauge showed 67 feet, and according to the weather bureau, the indications were that before many hours there would be 6S feet in the river here.
 So far only one life has been lost as a result of the waters here. Miss Anna Smith was tle first victim drowned in an attempt to reach New port in a skiff that capsized in mid stream. Her three men companions were rescued while swimming to the shore.
 Newport and Covington, opposite, virtually are surrounded by water. Conditions there are worse than else. where and nearly 10000 persons have been driven from their homes. Relief measures, however, are adequate. Manufacturing plants in the lowlands aave ceased operations.
 Tn these two cities the only fear ia that health conditions will be se- riouslv affected because of the clog ging of the sewage system and the stagnation of backwaters.

rising from Cairo to Vicksburg, the mississippi river has started on an- other lap of the expected flood stage. que largely to the torrent being pour ca into the big stream from the Ohio. Reports from a number of places along the Mississippi indicate that the work of strengthening the leyees is being prosecuted, at least one leyee patrol has been established and that farmers in the lowlands are moving to high ground
 But one point on the river reports an unusual situation, considering the near flood conditions. At Drinkwatsr, Mo, opposite Cairo, the water is pour ing through what is known as Roark Gap, short stretch of river front where the levee is low. This open ing is considered relatively unimpor- tant. Parts of three counties win be affected.
 In that vicinity also two companies of Missouri National Guard were call ed out today to do patrol duty.
 Meanwhile the authorities in three of the most important cities along ttC iitri WHiCH dit lnttuotl} lultTSSl- ed are watching the situation closely. Cairo reports a stage at o'clock to- night of 50.2. rise of IL since z am. The flood stage at that point is 45 feet but the levees, it is de- ciared. can withstand 56 feet and shut the water out of the drainage district which was overflowed last year.

 Activities among tae various levee boards in the Memphis territory were continued today with vigor. The St. Francis levee board, which with gov ernment engineers, superyises levee work from New Madrid, Mo, to the mouth of the White river in ATkan- sas, reports no break in the line. Levees at Memphis, where the water backed through bayou last year and flooded several blocks, are being built higher and at Beulah, Miss, where a serious situation existed during the February rise. rapid progress is being made in completing the revetment work.
