Captain Gil Coley with his Louisville

ton has relieved her suffering survivors-
who have been shivering and starving
and late today began recovering bodies
of. her dead from the receding waters
of the flooded Miami.
Twenty-six bodies had been recovered
when darkness tonight stopped the
work of the struggling workmen. Mayor
Karb declared that the fatality list ts
certain to be large.. Hundreds are
missing," he said, "and the condition
of the city convinces me that revela
tions to come will be appalling.
.Among the, identified dead recoveeed
were bodies of Henry Schalschneider
and his wife. Their three children are
known to have perished also. Bullet
holes In tho heads of the parents
showed they had shortened their suf
fering as they were rushed to certain
death on the roof or their home. A
body of a cripple, which was recovered
also, bad a bullet hole through the
head.
Refugees from Hamilton relate that
Coke Otto, a hamlet of 400 souls, which
lies in a little valley between the Great
Miami and the canal, is completely sub
merged, not even a roof being visible.
The fate of the inhabitants Is unknown.
One estimate places the number of
dead at Hamilton at 250.
The list of dead today was Increased
by the following: Detective B. Ruple
and his wife. Detective German Dulls,
Albert Miller, Patrolman Isaac Finn El-
kins: Edward Ebbetts, wife and child;
Joseph Boganski, wife and two chil
dren; Minor silllnler. Third ReglmeoJC
National Guard.
The policemen and soldier perished
while doing relief work, the latter
meeting his fate this morning when a
boat capsized.
Many houses were seen floating down
the river. On each of them several
persons were seen clinging. ineir
cries could be heard pleading for aid
which could not be given them.
One large house had seven persona
on the roof. The tricky current carried
to Riley's Island, where it lodged
among the trees. When day broke these
people had disappeared.
Forty-two persons marooned In a
newspaper office since Tuesday were
aided by soldiers who succeeded in

West Milton for a few minutes and
from there communication was estab

wagon was the temporary office.
Drinking water in Dayton is at
premium. Since the first rush of the
flood the city water plant has been out
of commission, and the limited supply
of rain water, that from private wells
and bottled water is all that has been
obtainable. -

Many Daring Rescues Hold Death
List Down to 50.
PIQUA, O., March 27. Scores of sen

search of the inundated section of the
city, declared that between 1200 and
1500 persons had been taken out of

50 bodies could be found.
The water supply and lighting plants
have been restored and three carloads
of provisions for the stricken inhabi
tants have been received from Union
City and Winchester. More provisions
will be necessary, however, before Fl

Inches an hour, this city has the situa

property loss is estimated at 14,000,000
and it is almost certain that the loss
of life will not exced six.
The pumping station was started to
night, two Lake Shore locomotives fur
nishing the power. The water is being
pumped direct from the river and the

and his crew, rescued 66 inmates of tho
Eilen County Orphans' Home today.
Four of the children were drowned yes
terday when a boat capsized in the
hands of inexperienced oarsmen.
Although many of the children were
frightened and crying, not an accident
marred the rescue. The girls were
removed first.
The reports that the reservoir at St.
Mary's, Ohio, had broken caused many
to flee.
The telephone operator at St. Mary's
notified the local office that St. Mary's

time threatened to break beneath the
pressure of the water and a high wind.
With the water works out of com
