GAINESVILLE, O.. March 29.-(Via Tele-
phone to Pittsburg) )--Relef reached
GAINESVILLE late this afternoon. For the
first time since the flood came upon the
city last Tuesday the tired civil and
military officers felt that the worst of
the story had been told. Five additions
were made to the list of known dead
reported this morning. bringing the total
to 10, and the receding waters showed
that the best estimates as to the prop
erty damage had not been exceeded by
the facts.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad con-
struction crew. working from New Con-
cord, succeeded In reaching a point with
I'm two miles of the depot in GAINESVILLE,
and from there heavy wagons. loaded
with provisions and clothing we're sent
overland to the city. A dozen collap-
sible boats were received and were at
once manned and sent through the dis
tricts where the current was not too
swift to interfere with their progress
BY this means many persons were res
cued from houses that for days have
been surrounded by water.
Additional companies of the Ohio Ma
tional Guard arrived during the day and
relieved the soldiers of the local COM
panies who have been on duty on the
streets, and rigid martial law was en-
forced from the time OIL their dTIiNdi
Among their first duties was protection
to the panic stricken people from two
cases Of smallpox which are said to have
developed, one in house on Sixth street
and another In house on the West Side
Guards were thrown around these places
and none but the health authorities per-s
mitted to approach within a block.
To Clean Up City
Details of the plap for cleaning up the
city were completed when the active
heads OF manufacturing concerns employ
ing in the aggregate 5000 men, decided not
to resume operations, but to turn their
forces over to the authorities for street
work.

failed entirely thisV afternoon and ~
men we're sent to the coal mines nearby
to get out coal, which will be distributed
to the destitute.
The Nurses association of Muskingum
county volunteered TIE services of $50
trained nurses to card for the sick. and
they were quickly put to work by the
relief committee. DOCTORS also are arriv-
ing. and the hea1A authorities believe
they can take care or the unusual con-

TINKLE OF TIN CANS SAVES

Washington, D. c., Jan. 31.-The
tinkle OF tin cans which had been hung
on strips to barbed wire entanglements
around the night camp OF a detach-

pines recently prevented a massacre
of the Americans BY the fierce Moro
tribesmen and resulted in. the complete
rout of the natives, according to war
department reports.
The scheme was the idea of the
American commander. SentrleS had
been stationed 500 yards inside the en-
tanglements and when the Moros at
tempted a night attack they ratified
the tin cans in the underbrush, arOus-
