CLEVELAND, o., March 2e.-Three
railroad men were crowned when a
Wheeling C Lake Erie freight train
went through weakened bridge near
Brighton, in Lorain county. The
bodies of the men have not been re,

George Dyke of Toledo and Daniel
Shanklin, fireman. and August Burrier,
a brakeman of Massillon.
The engine and rear sleeping car of

on the rails.
The train was being detoured over
the Big Four railroad from Urbana to
BellefontaiGe because of washouts on
the Pennsylvania lines, and was pro-
ceeding cautiously.

base is simply common dirt, of which
1900 pounds to the ton are employed.
The coal is manufactured either soft
or hard, to meet the consumers de-
mand, the soft burning the more read
lily. The color is that of the natural
coal, but dull, having no gloss what

produced. This is designed for quick
fire. Upon the other hand, prolong-
ed application of intense heat, supple

fishing a density of substance compar-
able to that of iron. This finished
produce is of exalted calorific value,

natural or artificial.
At last we have an artificial coal,

smokeless, gasiess, of greater calorific
value, and more enduring. Nature is

Force is given to this appeal by the

AT an English plant located in Kent
the conversion of peat into coal is eff

is then accomplished by the insertion

(NationaI News Associatior)

INDIANAPOLIS, March 26.-With
the ceasing of rainfall in the upper In
diana valleys last night the flood sit
uation was somewhat improved
throughout the state. Many cities are
still flooded but the waters generally
are not rising. Some of the towns on
the Wabash below the larger tributa-
ries are still in danger but others re-
port the crest of the flood has passed.
White river is falling rapidly at An
derson and Muncie and the Mississine-
wa at Marion is going down. Wild
cat creek, Blue river and other
streams which have been on a ram
page are also receding 1t is believed
the greatest damage has already been
done.
The gradual withdrawal of the wa
ter is revealing the extent of the loss
1t has caused. A conservative estimate
cannot be placed in figures smaller
than millions. Bridges were washed
out by the dozens and railroad tracks
washed out in many places. Homes
were damaged beyond estimate. The
loss will be particularly heavy in
Muncie, Rushville, Kokomo, Peru and
Lafayette.
Provisions For Peru.
One hundred collins and two car
loads of provisions were ordered rush
ed to Peru by Governor Ralston today
after the governor had received advic-
es from that city in roundabout way
that great loss of life had occurred
from the flood waters there. Some
estimates placed the death list at 200
The situation at Logansport is improv-
ed, but it is said several persons were
drowned there. Three thousand per-
sons were driven from their homes
in TT. Wayne, where three thickly
populated suburbs were inundated.
Bridge Collapsed.
The Washington street bridge over
White river has collapsed.
An immense sheet of water which
seemed to stretch for miles into In
dianapolis was all that told of the
suffering of the people west of the
river. The entire part of the city
lying between Washington street, the
river, the belt railroad tracks and that
lying about one mile west of the river
is now under from to 10 feet of
water. In many places the water has
reached the second floors of some
houses and the people who were
forced to fee to the upper stories of
their homes were waiting with anxious
eyes for another rise, but early in the
morning the water began tn receda
slightly. From 5000 to 5000 homes
have been damaged considerably and
in cases where families have not NOV
ed their furniture to the second floors
of their homes little will be saved.
Factories Inundated.
Factories west of the river were in
undated early in the evening when the
waters swept over the levees and
through the streets.
The loss of life in Indianapolis will
not be large unless from the after
effects from the flood.

In storing potatoes we use neither
cellar nor loft. AS soon as the potatoes
are dug in the summer, we pile them
in heaps under the shade of some
large trees. Sometimes we make cone
shaped piles by dumping the baskets
over the same point and letting the po-
tatoes spread cut as they will; while
at other times we make ricks OF them
