COLUMBUS, O., March 27.-With
Ohio rivers and streams subsiding TO-.
dav, the state 10 emerging from the
greateet food it has ever known. The
loss of life has been heavy. When

the total death list for the state will

600.
Dayton is the worst afflicted of the
many cities swept by the food. Not
only has the death loss from drown
ing there been extremely heavy, but
FIRE which ragged unchecked early this
morning, ,hre atened to destroy the
business sections.
After two nights of horror, during
which hundreds clung to house tops
calling for help until their voices gave
way, while dozens we're perched in tho
branches of trees, many are still be-
yond the reach OF rescuers.
The true extent of the awful trage.
dies enacted during the sweeping away
OF homes aud the exact toll will not be
known for several days until the mass
of hundreds of uprooted trees, which
are strewn over the lowlands are un.
covered.
The mass of debris now is under
several feet of water with swift cur.
rents running in many directions.
Many of those rescued tell of escaping
from their homes by the fractions OF
minutes just before the rushing water
swept their homes away and crushed
them like eggshells against bridges.
Scores OF entire families, these people
assert. we're swept down with their
houses in the swift current.
