Designs to be Regulation Size Willi
Large Numerals.
, A design- lor a new parcel post
stamp has been adopted by Post
master Oeneral Burleson to take
the place of the special series now
used. This change wasdeemed ad
visable, itT is said, because dl. M
merous complaints received from the
public and the postmasters against
the designs ;; now. : . . IttZ .lii^~.:Tbe
denominations o i the present series
are not readily determined, - being
printed in the same shade of. red
as the stamps. Another feature
that ha^fjinade the change neces
sary,, it is said, is that the value
of Vho stamp can be raised withb.tft
little difficulty.
The new design which ha* been
approved by Postmaster Oeneral
Bnrleson.. is tJbd. saixve in size as the
ordinary stamp now in - usj," and"
will bear a large numeral for the
denomination.' Although the new
design may not pbssess the 'artistic
merit of the present series of par
cel post stamps, it is said, it will
be of greater praotical use and at
the same time the government will
be enabled to saVe approximately
$50,000 in manufacture. It is ex
pected to have ? the new ? stamps
ready for general dlstrihutldn with
in the next three month*.

Chicago, March 26. Throe thous
and may huve periahed In the deluge
which swept northern Ohio river
valley ytwterday and Unlay. Prob
ably half a million were made home
less by the flood lit Indiana and
Ohio and property damage in both
States v. ill bu at least $100,000,000.
Theae figure* wire compiled this
afternoon from reports recolved
here from various poiniH in the
r trie ken district. further reports
may Increase the number of dead
and it iu unlikely that any decrease
lu financial loan will be made.
Au additional borrow was report- j
ed early this evening froirt Dayton.
Fire thoro/^ which seemed wlde
Hpread and probably uncontrolablo,
iu view of the paralysis of tho
water plant, probably brought a hor
rible death 4o many who aought to
escape drowning by climbing to up
per floors of building*.
Following are roviBed figures of
the dead ;
Ohio? Dayton 2.000; Piqua 640;
Delaware 100; Middletown 100;
Sidney 60; Hamilton 12; Tippecanoe
8; Tiffin 60; Fremont ll; scattered

Grand total 3.262.
Heports unconfirmed said that 14
parsons lost their lives In Fremont
and 60 at Tiffin. Ohio. It was ru
mored in Indianapolis early toda/
that 200 persons were drowned In
West Indianapolis, but this number
was later reduced to 14, though It
was estimated early this evening
more than that number had died.
South of Indianapolis the flood Is
said to have caused death in a num
ber of small towus and villages.
Railroad officials were authority
for the statement that lines.<krt* verg
ing into Indianapolis would have to
stand a loss of $25,000,000 In that
city and*vlclnlty alone. ?
Railroads were chief sufferers
from property damage. It was said
tonight byj engineers and construc
tion bosses preparing repair trains
for the flood districts that strips of
railroad more than half a mile long
each had been washed away In sev
eral places wi. rough Indiana. Con
crete and Iron bridges, their sup
ports undermined, crumbled before
.the ?trength ^of thW "toTrents lumsff
against tbem.
The loss through cessation of traf
flc can not bo estimated.
Only two roads, the Michigan Cen
,'tirAt and the Lake Shore, maintained
communication with New YoxJt over
their own lines, those farther south
finding mile after mile ' of their
right of way under a fathom of
water.
Telegraph and telephone wires in
the stricken district are down. Long
distance telephone service to Ohio
is "cut off with the exception of
connection with Toledo and Cleve
land^ Wires .through Indiana were
down In many, places and dome of
the devastated towns were cut off
from all communication.
Verdict Against State Co.
The Jury in the case of E. O.
Hiaick. against The State company
for libel brought in a verdict for
$20,000. yesterday Lyles & Lyles
gave notice of a motion for a new
trial. The suit was for $50,000
damages. There are two ot&er ca-'
John Black, baaed on the same,
publications, and these may be call
ed next week. The case decided
yesterday was based on editorial
comment and the news publication
concerning the opposition of Black
brothers *o C. C. Wilson ; in the
election for councilman Just- about
t hrfee years ago and the alleged
threat by a reporter for The State
to "write them up."
,.T?ui. -defense was that the .facts
stated in these articleswero . true,
thai they were also privileged and
were made without malice and in
the public interest; that there were
no threats by the reporter and that
if there were he was not. an. agent
possessed of any authority to carry
out the threats;. "7"
Att incldent of the trial yester
day was when, in opening his
speech, Geo. R. Remberts, attorney
for the plaintiffSt said he had been
longing and even praying fo?..this
opportunity to get ,th$ .defendant
before this Jury, for the purpose of
showing up Its record in South
Carolina politics. Wm. H. Lyles
objected to matter extraneous. to
this case being -introduced and hf
was instantly sustained by the
Judge> Who announced very posi
tively that, "This la a cuurt uf law,
not a court of politics." ? Thursday's
