5000 Are Rescued.
Nevertheless, rescue work went
steadily on and about 5000 persons
were housed in places of refuge-the
majority of them in buildings of the
National Cash Register company. At
least $4,000 persons are imprisoned
in homes and in business buildings.

Dayton, Ohio.-That a fierce fire
which has been sweeping the half

ton, had destroyed the Beckel house,
where there are supposed to be more
than 200 flood refugees, was the con-
sensus of opinion of scores of watch
ers atop the National Cash Register
building nearly two miles from the
scene of the flames. Many are sta
toned on other house tops.
Fire Seems to Abate.
Soon after midnight, however, it
appeared the flames were wavering.
While many persons conversant with
the district, and who watched from
distance, did not agree upon the pos.
sibility that the Beckel house had
succumbed to the fire, yet all watch
ers expressed fear that many of the
marooned had persisted in the flames
that appeared to have worked from
east to west, a distance of nearly two
blocks.
Fire Gets New Start.
