II was impossible to approach within
several blocks OF the fire zone, even in
the canoe. but there appeared every iii
dication that the Beckel House had not
been burned. and that the fire had been
confined to the blocks beyond Jefferson
and Sd streets.
The 300 guests Of the Algonquin
Hotel have been kept comfortably ex-
cept FOR the continuous dread that the
fire would spread 10 them. The water
reached TO the second floor. but all sup

7 thousand will not be surprised.
Horrible as this is, said Mr.. Burba'
| the real suffering will grow worse for
days. There are seventy thousand
homeless. The refugees are being fed
from hand to mouth. with less than a

There is no water and there is no light.

will be impossible even TO care for the

The worst condition found near the
centre of the food was in the work
bouse. where sixty prisoners have not
had a drop Of water or bite of food
since Tuesday. The men revolted on
Tuesday night. and demanded their
liberty and chance to fight for their
lives. Since then the workhouse has
been mad house, according to Super
intendent Johnson. The prisoners re-
peatedly fought with Johnson, and
threatened to kill both him and his
family.

and threatened 20 shoot unless they
took off his wife and a baby that had
been born yesterday. The woman, al.
most dying, was let from the window
by rope and taken to place Of
refuge.
Further on, members OF motor boat
party were startled by shots in the
second floor of d house about which
five feet of water swirled. The boat
was stopped and a man peered from
the window of the house.

asked

clared that water in North Dayton.
Miami City and East Dayton reached
the housetops. His estimate If the
number Of dead in that district was
three hundred.
According to city officials, il is inn
possible to estimate the number who
perished in the fire which last night
swept the entire district on the north
side of Sd street, between Jefferson
street and the canal, a distance Of more
than a square and a half.

Five hundred horses killed.
One thousand automobiles damaged
Pecuniary loss. SIS, 900 900.

Several statisticians set the loss at
higher figure. but most expert opinion
agreed on S25,OOO,000. II was said two
thousand residences were damaged 10
the extent of $1,000 each, SIX thousand
homes were classified under damage
figures Of $1,000, and IL vas believed
seven thousand could not be repaired
for less than 500 each.
Damage 10 buildings in the business
district was set at conservative figure
of 100000, and it was believed this
amount would apply to stocks OF stores.
Figures available at manufacturing
plants which suffered placed damage
under this head at 100000. The loss
on automobiles vas set at 100000,
this figure having been reached by set
ting the damage 10 at least one thou
sand machines. II was believed the
damage TO household goods would
amount into the millions, because In
many sections Of the submerged area
the water reached the second floor OF
hundreds Of houses.
Governor Cox ordered that no more
sightseers be permitted in Dayton, and
when Colonel Catrow attempted 10
have railroad coaches of an arriving
train vacated many OF the passengers
showed fight and refsued TO leave. Or
ders were given the trainmen TO cut off
the two rear coaches. and they were
left standing on the track.
one Of the remarkable features was
the cheerful spirit with which flood
victims viewed their plight. This was
Dayton's first big flood in many years.
Much Of the submerged area had been
considered safe from high water, but
az the majority OF residents OF these
sections looked out on all sides upon a
great sweep Of muddy swiftly moving
water, they seemed undisturbed
