MARION. Ind, March q, 1 a.. m.-Ten
persons may lose their lives between Gas
City and Jonesboro, five miles south of
here. before they can be rescued from the
miIe-wide flood that sweeps with terrific
lowlands. James Martin. wife and three
little ones, disregarding warnings, re-
mained in their dwelling until the flood
came, and the house was torn from its
foundations and whirled against trees in
midstream, where it is held fast. In the
darkness of the night, through the cold
hours. the unfortunate family sat upon the
roof waiting for the help that could not
reach their place of refuge.
Time after time men launched frail boats
and RATS and made the effort to reach the
family on the housetop. One boat was
perch in trees for many hours until they
could be taken OFF In an almost frozen
condition A raft bearing Teddy McGovern,
Robert Howe and Harvey Busbee. made the
second venture, and the three were in their
turn thrown into the water.
At l o'clock ii was believed that Howe
had perished though he lashed to a
tree. No sound had come from him for
several hours. McGovern could still be
heard calling for help. Busbee was rescued
by party a raft
Boats were sent from Marion by special
train. One of these went down on its first
attempt, carrying with it Charles White
and Tom Mclaughlin. Mclaughlin reached
a tree, but White is believed to have per-
ished, though in the. darkness this was not
easily ,ascertained.
Another man. unknown, who made the
trip in a boat alone succeeded in saving
the life of a boy who had perched in a
effort to reach the Martin family this
young man was caught and his boat cap
sized. He was in a tree near Teddy Nc

FOUR MEN REPORTED

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. March 27-2 a.. m.
White river which has flooded the lower
sections, is still rising and great loss of
property is threatened as the result of Fri
days heavy rains.
The Central Indiana Railroad bridge was
washed out at o'clock last night and it is
reported that four men who were on the
bridge were carried away by the flood.
The police and firemen who have been
working all night trying to save property
in the flooded district do not believe any
men were on the bridge when it went down.
but several persons who were near the
bridge declare red light was moving on
the structure when IL collapsed. The Lake
Erie & Western bridge haE been condemned
and no trains will be permitted to move
across il until the flood subsidies. The por-
tion of the city known as Johnstown is
under several feet of water and rescuers
worked all evening to remove the inhabit-
ants TO the high lands.
Some of the rural mail carriers were un-
able to make their routes to-day. The
Northern Traction Company was tied up
most of yesterday and the Lake Erie trains
were from one to three hours late.
Water is up to the rails on the Union
Traction bridge. The boiler room OF the
water works plant was invaded and the
fires quenched, leaving the city without
water and at the mercy of a fire. should one

the engine room. The river is yet rising.
WESTFIELD, Ind, March 26.-The heav-
lest rain in this part of the country for
years fell yesterday and last night. Cool
creek overflowed. washing out several
small bridges. In the south part of town
several families were forced TO move out.
Cellars were filled and considerable minor
damage has been done. Some of the mail
carriers could not make their trips ac-
count of the bridges being out. All roads
are cut off between this place and Mobiles

HUNDREDS IRE DRIVEN
FROM HOME At MARION
lanOliS .IOnrnal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION Ind, March 26.-Instead of re-
ceding during the day as was expected the
Mississinewa river rose rapidly and to-
night the water is pouring over the top of
the levee in East Marion, known locally as
Johnstown because of a flood which visited
that locality in 1891, and more than 300
houses are submerged. The river is still
rising and the danger is becoming greater.
The water reached the levee top at 5
o'clock this evening and people living in
Johnstown were compelled TO flee for their
lives. The entire police and fire departments
were called to assist in the rescue. A
patrol wagon being used in removing peo-
pie was overturned in Lomax street, which
is flooded. and two policemen were rescued
with difficulty by brother officers At 8
of the people living in the flooded district
had been removed to places of safety and
it is believed there has been no loss of life.
Two men tried to reach a house in which
were five children, but their raft became
lodged in a treetop. and a boat had to be
used in saving the men and in rescuing
the children. who were found huddled in
an upstairs room of their home. Several
families. realizing the approaching danger.
moved their household goods early to-day,
but majority had to leave in haste and
without any of their effects. Moving vans
and cabs were used at first in taking peo-
PIE from their homes, but within a few
minutes after the water began pouring over
the leyee nothing could be used but boats,
and il was with difficulty that these were
navigated. People waited in upstairs rooms
or on roof tops till the boats could reach
them. There were several daring rescues.
Citizens in Johnstown labored hard to
save their property by strengthening the
levee and making ii higher but the water
rose faster than their work progressed
Tonight the water is within two feet of
the level of the Branson and Washington
street and the Big Four and Glover Leaf
bridges. but the structures are considered
safe. Interurban and Gas City cars on the
Union Traction lines are unable TO reach
here because OF Buck creek bridge being
out.
IL is feared tonight that the Charles
Touring mill. on the river in North Marion
will be wrecked. Residences in the extreme
north section OF Marion also are in danger
No estimate of property loss can be made.
but IL will reach many thousands of dollars.

faced the worst flood situation in her his
tory. Duck creek, usually a placid and
sluggish stream rising two feet above any
previous high water mark, and nundating
the floors of fifty houses from six inches to
two feet. Repeated blasts of the fire alarm
whistle at midnight last night warned the
people of the rapidly rising waters. and
the police force with the assistance of
volunteers, rescued those whose positions
were the most perilOus in boats, working
IN water TO their waists nearly all night.
Families living in two-story houses took
refuge in the upper story. leaving the
ground floor at the mercy of the food, un-
til they could be taken out to-day.
The bridges at North Nineteenth and

water is flowing a foot or more deep over

PORT ARTHUR MIGHT
HAVE FALLEN EASILY

ST. PETERSBURG. March 26.-Important
news is drifting to the Russian capital by
mail letter from Port Dalny draws
a striking picture of its defenceless cond-
ton when the Japanese attacked Port Ar
thur. The correspondent says that the
smallest Japanese force could easily have
captured the place and destroyed enormous
stores of coal, half a million pounds of
tea and six Russian merchantmen lying in
the harbor. AS the Japanese failed to do
so the Russians at once mined the ap-
proaches, the haste with which the work
was performed being the cause of the
disaster to the Yenisei, many of the mines
being badly laid, one of which the pro-
tected cruiser Boyarin struck during a fear
full storm. The correspondent also says
the Boyarin was not sunk Immediately
Her captain succeeded in placing a col
lision mat in position till she was beached.
The Boyarin has since been towed off and
taken back to Port Arthur where she has
been repaired.
A Port Arthur correspondent writes that
the repairs to the battleship Retvizan and
the protected cruiser Pallada have now
been completed. the battleship Czarevitch
being the only remaining lame duck in the
squadron.
The preservation of Admiral Makaroffs s
squadron intact is regarded as being of
vital Importance. it is now certain that
the admiralty's plans contemplate sending
powerful reinforcements from the Baltic
during the summer. Six battleships-the
Orel, Borodno, Kniaz Souvarof. Slava
Alexander III and Paul and Andrew, and
the cruisers Oleg. Sehmschus and Izumrud
III will be ready to sail in July, joining the
squadron of Admiral Wirenus in the Medi-
:erranean, and, with the torpedo boats
reaching Port Arthur in September. The
arrival of such a fleet would give the Rus
slams an overwhelming preponderance in
numbers. The Russian plans all look for
ward TO this time, when by the co-opera-
ton of the fleet, the Japanese communica-
tions can be cut off. Then General Kuro-
patkin WILL according to the Russian cal
culations be in a position 10 take the Of
fensive on land and settle the fate of the
campaign and war
A startling statement came from Vladi-
vostok, apparently from a reliable course
to the effect that Captain Beitzenstein's S

tants and the garrison. il is added. gave
enthusiastic reception TO the victors.

The flood in Indiana, incident to the
