One of the Tombs.

During some important excavations
undertaken at Mount Cavo, in the Ro-
man campagna, in the hope Of tracing
an ancient temple devoted to Jupiter
the diggers struck upon an extensive
second century cemetery, which had
evidently been planned out on the sur
face of a gigantic landslip on the side
Of the mountain caused by earth
quake, which had buried the older ex
listing buildings.
A giant warrior or gladiator clad in
iron armor was discovered In one Of
the tombs, which was covered with
big tiles taken from the temple of Ii
berius. A number Of bronze coins
bearing the eftigy Of the Empress
Faustina, in addition to quantity Of
rings, safety pins and brooches Of
very early period, terra Gotta ele-
plants head and a fragmentary vase
containing Inscriptions, are among the
latest finds.

REFUGEES SAVED
NFREIGHT CARS

DAYTON, OHIO, March 27.-Hun-
dreds of refugees were released from
their prisons Thursday, when a cut of
twelve cars were backed into Third
street and the Pennsylvania railroad
yards. In some manner people living
on Walnut street, Wayne avenue, Com
mercial, Second, Third and a number of
side streets gained a way to cross to
the cut of cars. which were partly in
water. Ladders were put into use and
hundreds of people climbed the ladders
and along the cars. The line appeared
to be never ending and it was made up
of all kinds of people The most pa
thetic sight of the entire plight, how
ever, was that of a woman and an hour
old baby being carried along the roofs
Of the cars on a mattress.
Some of the people released by the
steady drop of the flood lived near the
fire zone and many said that the fire
had been a big one and that it was
still burning. William Riley, former
Cincinnatian, who is doing yeoman
service during the flood, had just re-
moved a woman named Mrs. Tree. of
Wayne avenue, near Oak street. from
her home when she died in the skif.
The last time DR. Fl. f. Palmer, of
Dayton. a physician of the National
Cash Register saw his wife was on
Tuesday morning, when he dropped her
from his auto on Main street. Just aft
er DR.. Palmer left his wife the levee
broke and he in some manner found
himself at the National Cash Register
plant minus his machine. While ad-
ministering medicine and encouraging
others the physician is worrying him
self as to the whereabouts of Mrs. Pal
mer. She, it is thought, IS in one of the

FLASHES OF LIGHTNING

BROWNS DEATH WALLS
Gale Sings Funeral Dirge of Dayton
Victims Hopes.

DAYTON. OHIO, March 27.-The
third night of Dayton's devastation was
a battle of humanity against the ele-
ments. seemingly bent on the destruc-
ton of life. The glare Of the bonfres
on the shores Of the raging torrents
was dimmed each second or two as
flashes of lightning split the heavens
and lighted up the scenes of desolation
in the flooded district.
Thunder, rolling from the far dis
tant clouds to what seemed within
few feet of those on the banks, drowned
out the cries and means of those still
trapped in floating and burning houses
The wind seemed to sing the funeral
dirge of hope
Houses. made into islands far out
into the swirling torrent and but dim
Iy visible with the naked eye, could be
plainly seen in the glare of the vivid
lightning. AS flash after flash lighted
up the city Of the dead and dying the
signals Of those marooned on the
wrecked houses could he seen If the
bowling wind blew in the right direc-
ton. the heart-rending cries for help
came mournfully to those on shore,
growing fainter as the night pro-
crossed.
Heroes There Are On All Sides.
When the call of the women and chill
dren who were trapped in the houses
reached their ears. many were ready to
plunge into the swirling torrent and try
to swim to those in danger Others,
more calm. restrained, one man, slight
ly built. tied a rope around his waist,
gave one end to crowd of men on the
shore and struck out for the blazing
houses. fully 800 yards from shore. He
had gone but a few yards when the
rushing waters reached out and grab
bed him. Once, twice his head disap-
peared. Then one of his hands raised
slowly from beneath the chocOate-col-
ored water 1t moved slightly. The
men on shore understood the signal and
pulled the man into shore. He stag
gered as he climbed upon the bank. In
a moment he could speak,

Figures Far
Below Real Toll.

These few recoveries, however, are
sadly below the total In many in
stances the final figures will mount to
five and ten times as many.
The same lack of detailed informa
ton is manifested In undertaking t.
foot up property losses
The loss in Middletown is wildly
guessed to be $4,000 900; in Peru, 81
100000: in Delaware, $1,000 600: in In.

Here again. however, figures fail to
convey a truthful mental picture Of the
tremendous loss of property. II may
be no more than the vague estimates
thus far made: 1t likely will be much
heavier.

BOAT EXPLORES
DAYTON TRAGEDY

DAYTON, OHIO, March 27-The first
motorboat launched in the strange wa
ters to tour the flooded district was in
charge of E. G. Mcconnell, of Cincin-
natl, who was accompanied by a guide.
a physician, two police officials and a
reporter
The first trip was made primarily for
the purpose of getting the lay Of the
ground, determining the points where
the greatest good could be done, and to
assure the surviving imprisoned suf-
.ferers of the certainty Of their early res
cue. The crew confined itself to the
administration Of temporary relief in
cases of dire necessity and where it
was a question of life or death. There
were piteous and pathetic appeals for
instant succor but for the reason Of
accomplishing the desired purpose Of
the initial trip they were disregarded
but all were made to feel certain that
the release from their long and hideous
imprisonment was near at hand.
The. survey made on this trip served
to dispel the raintest suggestion that
the seriousness Of the situation had
been exaggerated. The area devastated
by fire is broader than was at first be.

Apparently mentally deranged by the

streets Of Atlanta, vainly trying to find
d ray of hope in the messages that are
coming in from the stricken district.
The wanderer entered several local
hotels this morning and attracted at
tention by requesting that any letters
that might come for him be destroyed.

flame was belching forth as though
from a volcano. groan of despair
arose from the watchers as they saw
the murky atmosphere change from a
sickening gray to the brightest Of
crimson.
No one knew what one of the big
buildings had burst into flames. but
nine out OF ten Of the men. women and
children on the banks or huddled close
together on the straw beds at the Ma
tioral Cash Register plant had some
kin in the district of the blaze. Prayers
mingled with sobs and curses. The
cries of babies, held close to their moth
ers breasts, added to the weirdness of
the scene as the blaze from the far
away fire sent ghostlike shadows over
the murly waters.
Newspaper men. hardened as they
are to pathetic scenes, stood aghast at
the sights that met their eyes during
the first two days and nights of the
flood.
Women Fight for Life.
Women fought for places in the frail
craft that were sent to save them. Ba-
bies fell from boats and were swept
away at lightning speed, in full view
of the thousands that could not save
them old men and women, some of
them welded for many years, were
welded forever by death as they were
snatched away from their rescuers and
carried miles and miles down stream.
Men wept as they saw the appealing
hands Of the drowning held out toward
them in mute appeal. Women scream
ed as a brave rescuer was gripped in
the hand that knew no unclasping.
William Riley, Cincinnati boy, kept
at his work of rescue all day We'd
nesday and all Wednesday night. in
spite Of the fact that he had had no
sleep for "a hours.
He saw an old man and woman
standing on the roof of a house 300
yards from the shore. He set out in a
small boat Before he reached the
couple, they were carried away.
A tiny girl was kneeling at the side
of the Onrushng stream, her little
hands ClutChed in front of her face.
Her little form shuddered as she sob
bed, God. oh God, oh, be good to me;
and God bless mama and papa, and"
In a second she was ClutChed in the
arms of Riley, and was being carried
to the warm quarters at the National
