AT TROY

l.. +. Brock and family are safe, but
have lost everything. A Shetland pony,
a pet of the famsly, was moved from the
stable to the house and then led up stairs
with the Brock family. Mrs Brock is a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Steele,
West Warren street.
Mrs. Harriet Pearson, a relative Of
Samuel Pearson, West Warren Street,
wus drowned in the flood which de-
stroyed their home.
Mrs. Sherman LeBlond nearly lost her
life. She fell into the water while being
removed from the second story of their
home, but wa saved by her husband.
They lost everything. Mr.. LeBlond is a
brother of Walter LeBlond of this city
and spent his boyhood here.

found many operators who had not
removed shoes or clothing since last
Tuesday.
There is enough food and clothing
for present needs, but relief will be
required on a diminishing scale for
another month"
Early in the food Governor Cox
took personal charge Of the situation,
calling out the entire national guard
of the state to aid in the work of res
cue and to patrol the flooded districts
to prevent plundering of the inundat-
ed homes and the bodies of the dead.
President Wilson took recognition
of the gravity of the situation by dis
patching Secretary of War Garrison,
Major General Wood, chief of staff OF
the army, and Surgeon General Blue
to the flooded district. Several train
loads Of tents, blankets, stoves, pro-
visions and medical supplies were
rushed from Washington to Ohio and
Indiana points, to be used in reliev-
ing the suffering Of the refugees.
The breaking Of gas and water
mains added to the discomfort Of Co
lumbus and other cities, the former
being without water for "a hours.
Railways and traction lines were
the heaviest sufferers by the flood,
bridges and tracks being washed
away in all sections of the state, and
their losses will run well into the mil.
lions. Traffic has not yet resumed
anything like normal conditions.
Telegraph and telephone service
was almost at standstill, and several
towns were for days cut off from all
communication with the outside
world
1t is believed that when all returns
are in the flood death total in Ohio
will be between 400 and 500.

THE RAILROADS ARE
REGAINING THEIR
EQUILIBRIUM

Passenger service on the roads through

very little freight is being handled.
The Lake Erie & Western is running
on schedule time between Sandusky and
Upton, Ind.
The Cincinnati Northern is getting
trains through between Jackson and
Franklin but soft road beds in many
places sonth of this city are making all
trains late.
Although water couple of feet deep
covers their tracks for a couple of miles
through the Beaver bottoms, south of
this city the c., H. & D. got their first
train through Wednesday, running from
Mandate to Saltwater Junction on the
outskirts of Dayton.
The Western Ohio has been having
irregular service between this city and
Lima for the past week.

PRIMARY LAW
IS AMENDED.
Second Tuesday In Au-
gust-ImpOrtant Changes I'm
Making Nominations.

Candidates for elective Office in Ohio
from governor down, will in future be
nominated directly by the people. Ex-
cept for declaring party platforms, the
political convention in Ohio will fade in
to memory. The people will not only
directly nominate their officers, but they
will declare their preference for presi-
dental candidates and for United States
senators.
These sweeping changes are the result
Of the action Of the senate Thursday
afternoon in approving the Loweray
state wide primary bill and virtually
making II law. Only minor changes
were made by the senate in considering
the house bill. The date of the annual
primary was made the second instead of
the last Tuesday in August, but there
was a general agreement on this.
The only exception to the general rule
that all elective officials be directly nom
mated, pertains 10 officers in townships
and in municipalities of less than 1000
population. Such officers may continue
to be named under the old rule if the
people vote to have it that way.
Here are some Of the salient provisions
of the bill: No elective officer can be
nominated except at a primary to be
held on the second Tuesday of August.
State and district candidates for congress,
named in the even years and city and
township candidates in the odd years.
In the presidential years at a primary
on the last Tuesday in April, the people
OH a separate ballot declare their prefer
ence for presidential candidates. Dele
gates to national conventions are to be
named at the same primary and each
must declare under his name OH the bal
lot his first and second choice for presi-
dent. At the same primary the people
also name delegates to a state convention
which makes the party platform.
In years when the United States sena-
tor is to be elected by the legislature,
each candidate for the legislature must
make one of two alternate pledges. He
must say either that he will merely con-
slider the preference of the people as a
or as a binding COM
mand. Coincidentally the people declare
their preference for senator.

MUST FEED $4,000
Dayton Victims VIII Need Food Sent
to Them For Two Weeks.

Washington, April At will be
necessary to supply rations for nearly
$4,000 food victims for two weeks at
Dayton, in the opinion of Major
Rhoads, President Wilson's aid, He
reported to the war department that
the problem of feeding was a serious
one, as many merchants would be un'
able to resume business for some
time. For that reason Major Rhoads
suggested that supply trains diverted
to the flooded districts along the Ohio
river be sent to Dayton.
He also proposed a commission of
army engineers be sent to Dayton at
once to devise measures for the fu.
ture safety Of the city, either through
the control Of the headwaters Of tho
river or the construction of levee.

FIGHTING IN TRAMWAY STRIKE
FIERcEsT SINCE DAYS OF
LAND LEAGUE.
POLICE HAMMER MoBS
BATTLE RACES ALL OVER CITY
WHEN LABOR LEADER Is
ARRESTED.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Dublin.-The fierce rioting in con-
nection with the tramway strike was
renewed Sunday Hundreds of persons,
including thirty ccnstables, were in
iured.
On Saturday cixty or more persons
were injured. All tho hospitals are SO
to be sent to their homes for treat
ment.
The strike committee, in the inter-
est of peace, had rescinded early in
the morning the proposed mass meet
Ing in O'Connell street and had substi-
tuted a parade from Bcresford Place
to Croydon Park, suburb on the
North Side of the city. The authori-
ties, meanwhile, had prohibited the
| mass meeting.
Croydon Park belongs to the Trans
port Workers Union and meeting
was held there without disorder. But
on the return march attempts of the
police by baton charges to dispense
the constantly growing crowds led at
once to rioting.
The mob was incensed by the ar
rest of one of the strike leaders,
James Larkin, against whom a war
rant had been out for twenty-four
hours. Larkin was on the balcony of
a hotel in Sackville street He was
wearing disguise but an enthusiastic
admirer raised the cry, Three cheers
for Larkin!" The police Immediately
puonced upon him-and violent scenes
ensued.
The rioting became general in vari-
GUS parts of the city. The police
charged repeatedly with their sticks.
and this led to pitched battles. Stones,
brickbats and bottles were hurled by
the infuriated rioters, and the streets
soon were covered with prostrate
forms. More than fifty arrests were
made.
The train service was completely
suspended The exact number of in
jured is not known, but including the
Saturday victims it is believed it will
reach more than four hundred.
Dublin, Sept. Further disorders
! in connection with the tram strike oc-
Cured. Crowds of strikers and dem
monstl ative youths paraded the streets
smashing shop windows and indulg-
ing in )ooting wherever an opportu-
nifty was afforded.
