PEST|LENCE IN
FLOODED CITIES
Secretary of War Orders Quick
Burial of Victims.
OHIO RIVER STILL HIGH.
Work Of Finding Dead and UntangIlng
Wreckage Pushed Forward;
Ghoulish Acts Done BY I
Men and Women.

Washington, D. C.-Taken from the
ruins of the flooded cities of Ohio and
Indiana, hundreds of bodies were Sun
day borne to the churches in the high
er districts, and after short funeral
services hurried to graves.
The fear of pestilence from the i'll
smelling mud drove the city, State and
Federal authorities to feverish activity
in rescuing and disposing of the dead
as rapidly as possible.
Secretary of War Garrison and his
corps of assistants motored to Hamil-
ton, Ohio, from Cincinnati, and from
that point directed the relief work
Little could be done in Dayton be-
cause large part of that city is still
under water
With the recession of the waters
the leading spirits of the stricken
cities are already planning to rebuild
and to care for their destitute after
the first temporary relief from outside
shall have been exhausted.
One line remains open between Gin
cinnati and Hamilton, and when this is
gone, as 1t seems 1t must soon, the
latter city will face a famine.
Ghoulish work of man and woman,
unnerved by the long anxiety, made
hideous scenes where the floods have
abated until the soldiery took charge,
Memphis is facing a grave situa-
ton. The Drinkwater levee has
broken and hundreds of acres OF fer
tile land will be flooded
Flood damage at Albany and Troy,
~ Y. is estimated at $4,000. 000 A
typhoid epidemic in the Hudson valley
Is feared by the authorities.
