Many Rescued ba q casio.

Many thrilling stories were told by
the Dayton refugees who had been
trapped in their attics and on their
roofs in the very heart of the food.
4. j. Bard of Belmont avenue, who
was penned in the City National
Bank building on Third street, near
Main, Tuesday, was rescued.

the wire over and after that the heavy
cable.
One end of the cable was made
fast in the bank building and the
ether in the old courthouse. Then,
with only the light of the burning
structure, the $50 persons in the bank
building made their way, hand over

Heroic Rescues Common.

From all parts of Dayton come sto-
ries OF heroic rescues. The stolid
volunteers pay no attention to them:
All of them for three days have con-
stantly offered their lives to save
others. Several Of these men have
given their lives on rescue work.
Their names are unknown. Watchers
on the banks saw them trying to
reach persons in floating houses, saw
their boats upset and the men go
down
Late in the day large frame house
hoated down the river. Four women
were in the windows. AS they neared
the Main street bridge they waved at
the crowd on the banks and the build
ing struck the pieces. There was a
swirl in the murky waters and lit

Flood Waters Do Great Damage in
Many Eastern States-Thousand

Chicago, March 29-Serious food
conditions prevail in the Wyoming
valley in Pennsylvania, the greater
part of which is under water Many
towns are isolated and the full ex-
tent of the damage cannot be esti-
mated as yet. The Susquehanna river
has attained a height of % feet, but
late reports show that it is slowly re-
ceding, and the outlook becomes more
hopeful. Hundreds of families
throughout the valleys have been
forced to fee from ttoir homes. The
militia is on patrol duty in several
districts. Considerable damage is re-
ported from Wilkesbarre.
The western portion Of Virginia has
been deluged and a gale has wrecked
many homes and buildings. Railroad
traffic has been paralyzed by floods
and hundreds are homeless.
Thousands Of lives have been i'm
periled by the floods throughout Ken
lucky and property has been damaged
to the extent of hundreds Of thou
sands. The Ohio river is rising and
many towns and cities viii be flooded
when the height of the river is in
creased by the food waters from
Ohio.
In the vicinity of Rochester, il
western New York, the flood condi-
tons remain serious, and unless the
rivers recede within the next few
hours serious damage will be done to
many houses and factories. Several
blocks are now under water and base
ments OF many stores have been
Hooded.
A heavy storm has swept over the
central and southern portions Of New
Jersey. Considerable damage has
been done by high winds and swollen
streams
Following the general storm, which
caused much damage in all parts of
Delaware, the temperature dropped

in the fruit growing sections. 1t was
announced that the peach crop had

Forty Dead al Rridne.

Richard Lee, an engineer on the
Pennsylvania, who brought in the last
train over that line from Logansport.
reported a terrible condition at the
Pennsylvania bridge over the Wabash
on the outskirts of Logansport.
This bridge is braced across an
island and is as near indestructible as

1T is eighteen miles down stream
from Peru and has caught all the
debris from that town.
Il think we saw the remains of
more than 100 houses stacked up
against this bridge, with the current
tugging and pulling at them. We
could make out thirty or forty dead
bodies in the crushed lumber, and it
seemed as if some section of Peru
