FLOODS IN OHIO.
Much Damage Reported From Many
Towns-Trains Delayed.


Ottawa river, which runs through
the center OF Lima was higher than
has ever been known, flooding a large
portion of the town. There are 1900
people either homeless or confined to
the second stories or roofs of their
homes. Fully 500 houses have been
washed from their foundations.
In many cases where people lived In
one-story houses they were taken from
roofs by rescuers, Just before the build.
ings collapsed and were swept away.
A report from Alliance says: The
Cleveland G. Pittsburg tracks of the
Pennsylvania company are under wa
ter for 10 miles south, while all trains
are lost hereabouts. The New York
Limited, eastbound, is stalled at
Wooster, while another passenger
train started around to Pittsburg via
Cleveland. and has been lost track of.
The Mahoning river at this point Is the
highest ever known and is still rising.
Washouts clear to Canton have put
the tracks in such shape that railroad
men say IL will be days before trains
can run. The big Pennsylvania bridge
here, on which men have been work
ing for a year, went down into 20 feet
of water in the Mahoning river.
At Canton Ralph Edelman, aged Is
years, son of Mrs. Saville Edelman,
was drowned in the swollen waters OF
Nlmishellen creek. He fell in and was
carried away by the swift current,
while throwing stones at floating OBJ
jects carried down by the flood.
Reports from Mansfield, Findlay
Piqua, Troy, Wooster and many other
points tell Of serious damage and dis
comfort on account of high water.

TRAIN ROBBED BY BANDITS

MONEY RUINED BY EXPLOSION.
Southern Pacific Express Train Held
UP and safes Dynamitcd and
Looted.

The Oregon express. south bound.
on the Southern Pacific. was held up
by three masked men near Keswlck.
early Friday morning. They killed w.
J. O'Nell. the Wells.Fargo Express
messenger, and carried of the con.
tents Of the express box
When the train pulled In To- Copley
the highwaymen emerged from the
brush. They first encountered a
tramp, who was attempting TO steal n
ride. He was forced at the point of
n rifle to enter the smoker. Mean.
while one of the robbers knocked on
the door Of the express car Mes.
senger O'Nelll asked him some ques.
tion. The reply was evidently sat
isfactory, because O'Neill slid the
door back about Is inches, when a
rifle bullet was sent through his
body. II passed near his heart and he
fell back dead O'Neill was not arm
ed. He evidently believed that the
knock came from a member Of the
train crew.
Then while one robber remained on
the lookout the other two marched the
engine crew to the express car. The
robbers all the time used vile Ian
guage and discharged occasional shots
from the rifles. This apprlsed the pas
eengers OF what was going on. but
they remained in the cars and we're
not molested. Coford. helper to Mes.
senger O'Nelll. was armed with a
shotgun and tried to shoot one of the
robbers. but the cartridge failed to
explode. Colford pluckily stood his
ground and started to put another
shell into the gun. but the robbers
leveled their rifles at him and com.
manded him to lay down his gun or
be killed. Engineer Bssell also urged
Colford not to make a fight, arguing
that II he did they might all be killed.
The robbers now compelled the two
frcmen and the brakeman to climb In.
to the smoker. Because Brakeman
Stone was not quick enough one of
the robbers hit him over the head with
a rife, infllcting a severe scalp wound.
When the bandits found that Col
ford could not open the safes they
used dynamite, first removing the body
of O'Neill. which lay near the safe.
There we're two safes In the car, a
heavy through safe and a smaller To-
cal safe. The local safe was blown to
atoms and the top of the through
safe was DlOWn on. llny pieces Oh
greenbacks and twisted coins covered
the floor. II is certain that the rob
bers did not get a great amount of
plunder although their blunderins
work may have destroyed thousands
Of dollars.
After robblng the express car the
men cut the car loose and, getting on
the engine. compelled Engineer Joe
sink to go ahead. when near Keswick
the men dropped of the engine and
disappeared in the night with their
plunder.
S. d. Barstow. superintendent of the
western division OF Wells-Fargo & Co.
said that there was not much money
in the express safes blown up by the
robbers at Copley. There were no val
uables from the east in the car.
