Elsewhere, amid falling waters, the civil and military authorities of stricken sections fought to quell panic, desperation, hunger, thirst and disease. The death toll stood Friday afternoon at 188. More than 200,000 were believed homeless; unofficial reports of damage over the dozen-state area neared $800,000,000. Late developments from the far-flung area of disaster, on the third afternoon of the flood included: Two score New England cities, including Hartford and Mid. 4pm Valley City vs. Mandan 8:30 p. m.

National Guardsmen were called to calm @ panicky crowd : near Lewiston, Me., which heard false reports that the Gulf Island dam above the city had collapsed. Flood veterans of the debris-filled Ohio battened down’ in Marietta, Ohio, and other cities to await the great crest which left 17 dead or more in the Wheeling-Martins Ferry area and routed upwards of 20,000 persons from their homes. The river rolled out of Wheeling, leaving misery and desolation. Pittsburgh, toiling against almost impossible odds to cleati up the teeming steel city, saw its death list increased to 45 and worried over threats of disease and water shortage. . Johnstown, Pa., historic flood town where the present in- undation first struck, housed 653 ill and destitute refugees of the Conemaugh river rampage in a hilltop dance hall, Three were born in the building. : Conditions described as “terrible” prevailed at Williams. port, Pa., in the region laid waste by the madcap Susquehanna. This and other east-central Pennsylvania cities could not even count their actual dead or loss in property. The swollen Potomac lapped reluctantly back from Wash- | ington, leaving a battered waterfront, $250,000 damage, hun- dreds of homeless. But it spared such national landmarks as the Washington monument. It may have damaged the famous Jap- anese cherry trees. Sand bag dikes at Richmond held tight against a record crest of the James river. North Carolina highways, choked by. huge snowdrifts, were opened. : Of the damage, western Pensylvania apparently had thé top figure of more than $100,000,000. New England and east~ ern Pennsylvania each added $50,000,000 more at unofficial conservative estimates. : The dead by states were tabulated thus: Pennsylvania 108; West Virginia, 18; Vermont, 5; Con- necticut, 4; Virginia, 4; Massachusetts, 8; Maine, 2; Maryland, 2; North Carolina, 2; Georgia, 2; Washington, D.
