lowing statement summarizing the flood

1T is the consensus of opinion that
the property loss in Ohio will exceed
that sustained by San Francisco. This
apparently incredible statement is easily
understood when the widespread destruc-
ton to railroad property is calculated.
I'VE ought to know tomorrow approx
imately what the loss of life has been.
The Indications tonight are that the
list may not run as heavy as forecast
at Dayton but there are grave fears
that a tremendous tragedy will be re-
vealed beyond the Seioto river, where
the western part of Columbus is com
pletely devastated.
"The country is making splendid re-
sponse to the appeal for help. Presi.
dent Wilson and his secretaries of war
and the treasury department are giving
splendid assistance,
Our great difficulty still remains the
lack of railroad transportation. We still
need more help"

Governor Ralston has assumed full
charge of the situation in West Indian

have been supplied with ball cartridges

Advances in prices OF foods made by
commission merchants aroused the gov
ernor to immediate action and the in
formation that he had ordered an in
vestigation with view to establishing
martial law in the wholesale districts
had the effect of stopping any efforts

MORE TROUBLE FOR oUARRIEs.
Lack of Power Came as Handicap After
the Long Rain.

| On top of the check to quarrying op-
erations because of the rain and high
water which had forced suspension of
work in the Barre quarries all the week,
came the loss of power due TO the acci-
dent at the Bolton Fans plant of the
Consolidated Lighting company, which
necessitated shutting down that plant.
The water broke through the gates,
flooded the lower station and reached
the upper station, reaching the wires
running to the switchboard and causing
"a grounding The power was turned
off and steps were taken to start the
auxiliary plant at the Pioneer The
auxiliary plant was put into operation
last evening.
At the Bolton plant when it became
necessary to shut off the power, crew
of men was sent into the pit to sweep
the water away from the wheel. This
work was carried on through the night
and today the gang was reinforced.
Pumps were established at the head OF
the pit and it is expected that the dan-
age will be soon repaired. The power
was turned off at 7:40 o'clock last night
and within twenty minutes the change
to the company's auxiliary plant had
been effected.

GAVE SEVERAL CHECKS.
But the Bank Declared That, They Were
of No Value.

| Burlington March 2S.-A man who
gave his name Is +. A. Carpenter and
who said that he was graduate OF
the medical college in this city, was
arrested yesterday by Chief of Police
p. J, Russell on charge of passing
worthless checks and is now in Jail.
Carpenter went into Dorns restaurant
yesterday and rendered a check for $50,
which was drawn on Holyoke bank.
The check didn't seem to have the right
ear marks, and although the proprietor
of the restaurant advanced ten dollars
on it, he investigated the matter and
took il to the Merchants bank. From
there the institution in Holyoke was
communicated with and il was ascer-
tanned that the check was not only of
no value but that Carpenter had sent
in other worthless pieces for various
amounts from different places in New
England
Carpenter furnished Mr.. Dorm with an
other in place of the first check which
was given but this was also of no value
and then the grand Juror was inter
viewed. with the result that warrant
was issued for the mans arrest.
The college catalogue contains the
name of Elbridge A. Carpenter and his
residence is given as Boston. He was
a member OF the class of 1908. In
searching him at the jail another check
was discovered and a number of cards
which bore the name of T.. A. Carpen-
ter, with the residence given as New
York City.
