Special By United Press Wire.
Lebanon, O., March 26:-Latest
estimates given here place the num-
Der of dead at more than 500. Frank
Branton, vice president of the Leba-
non and Cincinnati railroad, said:
Il have received reports from my
men all along the line that indicate
the estimate of 500 dead Is a con-
sentative one. At first my men re-
ported deaths at sixty; later the re-
ports came in SO fast they quit
counting. / would fix the property
loss at Dayton at 100000 to
$40, 200, 900"
The only organized relief work Is
that of the National Register plant.
The factory is closed and all the en-
ployes are turned to this work. The
huge plant has been turned into a
rescue mission for refugees. John
H. Paterson, president of the con-
Germ, waded barefooted through a
section of the town aiding in the
rescue of families and helped to row
a boat. He Is seventy years old.
Reports of additional deaths con-
tinue to come in. Many persisted
when improvised RATS collapsed in
the food. Others were swept away
with their homes just when it SEEM
ed rescuers would reach them.

seven feet deep in Union station. The
foreigners who sought refuge In the

stricken and tell wild stories of the
food, saying nearly every part Of the
town is under water and the conditions
are rapidly becoming more serious.

Twenty Person. Drowned.

One OF the worst situations has de
veloped at Delaware, o., twenty-five
miles from Columbus. Twenty persons
are reported to have been drowned, sew
eral thousand persons are said to have
fed from their homes to the hills, and
hundreds are marooned In their houses
in imminent danger of being swept
away by the food. The town has 10,00t
residents, and practically every house
within Its limits is standing In water
Most of the streets are flooded ten feet
deep.
The food came suddenly here when
the Scioto river burst its banks. All
telegraph and telephone communica
ton was cut off by the food, and
what meager details of the havoc have
been received came by telephone be
fore the operators were driven from
their switchboards by the rising va

They reported one death and said
all the inhabitants who could get away
were fleeing to the hills. At about the
same time the Big Four railway Of

a moment with their operator at Della
ware, and he reported ten drowned
and the entire city under water.

Singing "Rah! Rah! Rah from the
U. of P. We Are" eleven young sa-
wants from the University of Penn
sylvania, arrived here about 10
o'clock this morning coming by New
Brunswick. They left Philadelphia
at 10 o'clock Monday morning and
started on the hundred and six mile
hike. All the young men appeared
in the best physical condition and
little worn by their exertions. While
waiting for a boat at the Staten Is
land ferry house the rain came down
In torrents, so the mixers decided to
take the Staten Island Rapid Transit
railnaad for st. George, letting their
walking stretch end here. They will
go back to Philadelphia tonight af-
ter Cooking over" New York.
Trenton was the first stop they
they made after leaving "Philly." 1t
had grown dark by the time they
reached the New Jersey capital.
They spent the night there and early
next morning started for New Bruins
wick. They reached that place last
night and this morning, again rising
early, started for this city. Those in
the party are members of the Hard

Governor Raiston of Indiana Gets On
inous Message From Peru.

nous Message From Peru.
Indianapolis, Ind, March 26.-Two
hundred or more are drowned at Peru
Ind, according to a message received
by Governor Ralston from that place.
The governors informant, named
Baker, asked that 200 collins and food
and clothing be sent to Peru at once.
This probably will be the last mes
sage you will get from Peru" said the
man. Two hundred or more are
drowned, and the remainder of the
residents are grouped On a hill waiting
for daylight"
Governor Ralston Immediately com
municated with State Senator Flem-
Ing at Fort Wayne and asked him to
forward the collins and other supplies
as requested. When the governor was
talking the wire to Peru failed.
"From what my informant said,
there may be as many as 800 drowned
In Peru" Governor Ralston said.
81 requested Senator Fleming to get
the collins and learned that there were
only fifty in Fort Wayne, but we hope
to get a sufficient number in Richmond
and Wabash. l understand the Jul
vivors at Peru are huddIed within two
blocks and in great distress. l have
offered a carload of food, and the Fort
Wayne citizens are sending another
car of provisions"
Public service corporations of the en-

The appalling swiftness with which
the waters have arisen caught the en-

Conservative estimates place the
number driven from their homes at
near 100000, and the property loss, it
is said, will reach the $40, 900, 900 mark.
These figures are made up from re-
ports received from towns and villages
and do not include the probable great
loss to farmers.
The White river levee at Morris
street, this city. broke, and 800 per
SINS were forced to make a hasty re-

Troops and police hurriedly were

sought refuge In the structure. Many
other buildings, she declared, have col
lapsed, and the danger was growing
greater each moment.
Reports Of lootlng and the shooting

Cities In various sections of Ohio and
Indiana are appealing in vain for help,
Relief trains, with food, medicines and
clothing, have beer made up In some
places, but cannot be moved to the
stricken cities because the railroad
traffic is paralyzed. Bridges have been
washed out in ali directions, and rail
road tracks are under water for miles.
Buildings Float Down River.
In Delaware, o., alone the property
loss is estimated at $1,000, 900, and the
dead are estimated at from fifteen to

Sydney is under water and cut. off
from all communication. A relief train
with supplies was sent from Lima to
try to reach Ottawa, which is sub
merged.
In Akron a report estimates the dam
age at more than $1,000.000, and 500
families are homeless.
Akron faces one of the worst crises
in its history. The city reservoir
threatens to break and food the city.
Practically the entire southern sec
ton of the state is flooded and no re-
ports can be obtained from there. Tele-
phone and telegraph wires are down,
and the telephone companies report
that many of their exchanges are IN

In Columbus street car service was
stopped. The police batt1ed with food
conditions and attempted to war; and
rescue endangered persons. Many sen
sational rescues were made. In CIeve-
land and northeastern Ohio all streams
are at food stage and property dam
age Is large. In northwestern Ohio, In
the vicinity of Toledo, all the small
streams are raging torrents. street and
interurban car service has stopped and
many lives endangered.
Wooster, Orrville. Mount Vernon and
Delaware, all on high ground, are re-
ported entirely surrounded by water.
Marion county officials appealed to
Governor Cox for boats and tents.
