RECOVERED THE BODIES OF NINETEEN ATJROOKVILLE The Stricken Indiana Town Will Receive Assistance From Neighboring Cities Today.

PERU'S CONDITION MUCH IMPROVED Indianapolis Damage Will Exceed All Estimates , Hereto fore Made Other -Indiana Flood News. BROOKVILLE. Ind., March 29. Nineteen bodies of the Brookville flood victims have been recovered. . Those Identified are Sophia Buckingham, Margaret Buntz, John Fries, wife, and three children, Margaret Fries, Lizzie Slefert, Kate Headrick, Mrs. Robert Sears and three children, Charles Keppel and wife, Margaret Colebank and Joseph Sennefleld. The Fries family drowned in sight of many who were trying to rescue them. " The man held his aged mother's head above water till both were swept awajrr His wife and children died earlier. The Rev. Father Schiff pronounced final blessing on the dying family.""1' Heroic Deeds. 1 Filly conlrmed reports ot unusual heroism when part of Brookville was flooded have been received here. Charles Westcott, an express agent, and expert canoeist, saved 118 lives. One Of ills feats was to paddle to a tree three-fourths of a mile from the town "proper and save Julius Weber, wife and children, and their dog. The family had floated to tree tops in the wreckage of their home. He spent several hours in rescuing others. Saved Seventy-five. Another man working with a raft saved seventy-live people, including James" 'Luce, eighty-two years old, who had been marooned six hours and was lying crosswise of a mass of telephone wires. Luce had lashed himself fast with strips of his shirt and was unconscious. He was revived and will live. . -, Six men and three women were marooned in the 'third story of the remaining portion of the woolen mill. A rope .was shot to them by means of a skyrocket and coffee and sandwiches sent tnem. - Later they were rescueu with stronger ropes. The remainder of the building pitched into the water ten minutes after the last one had escaped. - Metamora Not Swept Away. ' Later reports from Metamora, north of Brookville, show the town was not swept away; Several houses, including the station, floated out. People were warned of the rising waters, and all escaped to a hill nearby. No dependable ', reports can be had from Cedar Grove or New Trenton, south of Brookville. Brookville's hundred-year-old hotel, the Valley house; has been turned into a house of refuge. The receding of the waters at Connersville, has permitted the delegation of twenty-five to go to the relief of Brookville. The total dead there is not known. Only eighteen bodies had been ' recovered up . to this afternoon. Whitewater river is subsiding rapidly, and definite news from the flooded valley . districts above v and below Brookville, where dozens of farmers were caught, is expected 'soon.

rsx llr. P A. OO Notes BY W. H. Q.

Elmer Lebo and his force of hustlers ept.21 "applications last Saturday. We thought we done well, however anotheijrally is planned for a near future date. v ' " r - ,l ' . " ' Richmond traveling men have been marooned, either at home or in the last town they made on Monday, all week. Richmond housed several hundred travelers, ' and they were a mighty restless and anxious crowd. It Is hoped" all Richmond traveling men will be "home for Sunday. A similar week has perhaps never been experienced. ; Boys whose territory lays around Dayton feel their job is gone for a few .weks. It is hoped, however, the conditions will be found not so bad with the clearing up of the flood. The election last Saturday night passed off peacefully, harmoniously, and with a "rattling" good time. The Smoker was a success in every parti ular. The lunch and punch served kjr the Arrangements Committee was faultless and enjoyed by all. The reWit of the election was as follows: president, L. E. Browne; vice president, C. T. Caldwell; secretary and treasurer, W. H. Quigg. Directors. T. C. Harrington, F. H. Highley. C. W. Morgan. Delegates to the National Convention: Wm. H. Quigg (by virtue of his office), T. C. Harrington, E. E. Lebo. L, E. Turner After tonight it will be President Browne. For our friend LeRoy we wish a , prosperous, harmonious, and well balanced administration. That we wtll have this is asured by the calibre of the man and the hearty assistance ; he will have of the members. The post can be '.. congratulated on their wise selection for no member stands higher, nor has the regard and respect of more members than president-elect Browne. The above is said firith no reflection on his tted op-

I EXHAUSTED MAIL CLERKS RELATE SCENES AT HAMILTON

In an exhausted condition, H. S. S. Bell and Oliver Jaylor, mail clerks on the Chicago and Cincinnati division of the Pennsylvania railroad, arrived here last night on a handcar from Hamilton. The two men were cared for at the Pennsylvania station. Bell and Jaylor left Cincinnati yesterday morning with a relief train for Hamilton and on arrival there they found the flood conditions so serious and knowing the flood conditions in Cincinnati, they decided to make a break for Richmond. They secured a hand car and by taking it off the track erery few miles they arrived in Richmond Friday evening. The two men stated that the postmaster of Hamilton estimated the number of dead at 400. They have plenty of provisions there on the east side, as Cincinnati has sent cars of food to that city. The men stated that the postmaster had informed them at Hamilton that Trenton, O., had been wiped off the map. "One policeman told us that he had seen eleven persons drown and yesterday saw thirty-six bodies float past the place where he had been assisting in rescue work," the men said. "We talked to a man who was the father of five children and he told us he had saved but one of them. "The water was twelve feet high at the court house and nine feet at the station yesterday. We saw a big number of dead horses floating in the streets. From what we were told there we believe that there were at least 300 horses under water." The first regiment of the Ohio National guard is there now, Bell and Jaylor said and the city has been placed under martial law. The south side of the city cannot be reached at all, the men asserted and it is not known the exact conditions in that section. "On every side one can see awful sights," they said. "Screams of women and moaning of men, who have lost their children or whose homes have been destroyed, rent the air. It was horrowf ul. We did what we could and then secured a handcar and by taking it from the track, wherever the track had been torn up or washed away, we managed to get here. "Those streets that were dry yesterday at the time we left, were filled with rubbish and debris of all kind."

Y" TO GIVE BIG BENEFIT Attend the show at the Y. M. C. A. tonight and enjoy yourselves and at the same time help the flood sufferers at Dayton and other places. It won't cost you more than ten cents and you can pay as much as you want to. The , show opens in the gymnasium at 7:30 ' and will consist of drills, gymnastic j dances, vocal solos and recitations. It ! will be a performance of real merit and well worth seeing. Sunday four benefit performances will be given by the vaudeville bill at the Murray theater. ponent for it goes without saying that the same could be said of the splendid man who opposed him, who is capable, stands high with the membership and who if he had been chosen would have made a wise and successful presiding officer. With the meeting tonight will close the second administration of our most worthy President T. C. Harrington. He leaves the office carrying with him the respect and best wishes of all the membership. He leaves a record behind him that certainly reflects great credit on his high character and ability. He received the high compliment of being elected to succeed himself one year ago, which is not the rule of the post. That no mistake was made at that time is evidenced by the highly successful year just closing. While "Tim" will probably "beat up" on the writer for this I cannot refrain from saying that his administration has been the most successful, he has filled the office more creditably, has appeared and conducted himself better on all occasions than any president Post C has ever had, and we doubt if his administration from all angles will ever be surpassed. With this issue of the Palladium your Press Chairman lays down his pencil to be taken up by his successor whoever President Browne may decree that person to be. This ends four years of service as Press Chairman and I hope future presidents will respect my wishes and not ask me to again serve in this capacity. I do not mean by this I have not enjoyed the work for I have, and no doubt much better than the suffering membership and editors of the Palladium whose indulgence has been a marvel. I have tried to give you the best T. P. A. column that I with my limited ability could write. I desire to thank, the membership for their loyal support, and to the Palladium for their many favors. May my successor give you a better column than I have been able to give for I can say that Post C members deserve the best there is in their Press Chairman. "Shorty" Shreeve, "Sorrel" Lebo, "Dutch" Hegger, Uncle Billy Kramer, Alex Gordon, Eddie Tingler, and others whose relative position in Post C are paralleled by the positions of Cal Fluhart, Tel. Binkley, Pinky Kerr, and others in Abe Martin's Brown county philosophy I consign to the tender mercy of my successor, with full permission to say of them, to them and at them, anything that he pleases, as often as he pleases, in any way he pleases,, and the other 400 members of the Post will back him up, and will at all times, and on all occasions, pat him on the back and say, 'We're fur ye." "Go to it" Cecil Clark has. received word from his sister-in-law, Mrs., Lewis Clark at Ruchville that she and his father, mother and sister are safe. He also received a telegram from MrsN. G. Mills, a sister at Connersville saying that she U safe,

BSjj Lfistt He Says

LIBERTY, Ind., (11:00 p. m.) C. M. Gill, a railroader, reached here tonight on his way to his home in Connersville, i after escaping out of -the flood in Hamilton. He said that the train crew went into Hamilton Monday night and about eleven o'clock Tuesday morning they found that the city was going to be flooded so they took refuge in a church nearby. Gill says that he saw bodies in the streets, on the porches and in the houses of East Hamilton, and he thinks that the death list will reach the thousand mark. On Ludlow street there was six or seven feet of water and there was 6 feet of water at the C, H. & D. railway station. The suffering has been terrible and it will be weeks before the total loss can be estimated. Gill remained in a church until the water had receded enough to allow him to walk out of the city.
