Chicago, March 25.--Reports con corning the appalling nature of the floods in Ohio. and Indiana which in most instances 1t was impossible to verify were received tonight from widely scattered sources. The most serious of these were
 An tnconfirmed report from Springfield, Ohio, that five thousand lives had been lost at Dayton, and five hundred at Piqua.
 A report apparently more fully all- thenticated from Indianapolis that from 200 to 800 had been drowned at Peru, Ind.
 A message received at Phoneton Ohio, that the reservoir ut Hamil. ton had broken and that 1000 per sons had been drowned.
 Continued efforts for the verifi- cation were futile. An unconfirmed but persistent rumor from Marion. Ind, that the Grand reservoir at Celina, Ohio, had gone out, causing an unprecedented flood in the Wa bash valley.
 Late reports from Delaware, Ohio said that 75 to 100 were dead. More conservative estimates cut these re- ports in half.
 In few cases was It possible to trace these reports to any definite source.
 Otto. hamlet of loo persons, was said to be destroyed, and the fate of the inhabitants unknown. The death list in many cities and towns. includ- ing Fort Wayne, Lafayette. Rich mond, Marion, Muncie, Kokomo, connorsville and Logansport totalled fifteen
 At Lafayette the loss extends to millions, Richmond is in darkness and 20 bridges in Wayne county were destroyed.
 At Nashville half million dollars of damage was done In the business and residence districts.
 At Kokomo the property loss was estimated at million dollars and 5O0 persons are living in the second stories of their houses. Similar con ditions were reported from Ander- son, Marion. Tipton, Noblesville and Peru.

streams. The situation was made worse by the breaking of the Lar. annie reservoir, 50 miles above Day. ton.
 The waters swept through the city. One report which lacked confi7ma- tion was that water in the main streets was 15 feet deep. All wire communication except one slender telephone wire to Phoneton a station six miles away, was broken and in- formation regarding the status of affairs in Dayton was difficult to oh- tain. The telephone company re: ported no lives had been lost but conflicting reports were persistent. Information from Cincinnati was that sixty lives had been lost Practically the entire city was under water and the residents had been forced to flee for their lives. Many of the more intrepid sought refuge on the house tops.
 At 3 D. m. telephone operator at Dayton was in communication with Gov. Cox at Columbus. She said she was the last person remaining in the exchange building and that there was seven feet of water in the main street. As she was talking, she ssid the Leonard building across the street collapsed. Many persons were believed to have been iH the bais6 ing at the time.
 Columbus also suffered enormous damage from the flood Railroad traffic was paralyzed early in the day. Fires in three large factories ragged for many hours and for a time threatened considerable portion Of the district Because of the flood. firemen were handicapped.
 Conditions at Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Kokomo and other places in Central Indiana were the worst in many years From every part of the state there were reported disastrous inundations. At lafayette. two spans of bridge went out. Two are reported dead. West Lafayette. where Purdue university is located, was cut off in the afternoon wheG the levees were broken by the waters of the Wabash river. The river is two miles wide and rising rapidly.
 At Indianapolis, 1500 families had been driven from their homes and four deaths were said to have result I ts,s a from from drowning sa..rins the day The pumping plant was forced to suspend operations and the city Is without fire protection. At Perdue, property dagame of half million was done by the flood. 1t was reported. Logansport also was under water.
 Gov Ralston this afternoon receiv- INille. Ind, for aid for many sufferers It was said that the river had brokes over it's banks and great loss of life had ensued The entire business district of Russellyille is under water. Larue. Ohio Is inundated ant many persons homeless.
