Anniversary of the l«*'eat Flood. 1)-VVT().N, ()., .March 25.—One year ago today marked the beginning of the great Hoods whit'U devastated alnios. thewhole of Ohio and Indiana and tyand parts of i’eunsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Kentucky and several other states. In tho loss of life and property Dayton was by far the greatest sufferer of any of the lies that were covered by the raging waters. In twelve months the city accomplished wonders in rebuilding the structures that were destroyed hy the Hood and tho great fire which accompanied it. Today the citizens of all classes joim ' in solemn services in memory of tho men, women and chil (iron whose lives wi*re lost in the cai- astrophe. At the same lime Hags wen displayed on many buildings in cele bration of the iirogress that has bi en* made in r. hiibilitating the city. ] It w;i.« lht> iniilille of March of las' year that the central statis were swept h.V a si'ries of tel rilii'. < yelones and tornadoes, wliicti wrre I'ollowrd by | live or six days of turreiitial rains. .As I late as the evening of March 22 tht 1 situation was not regarded as alarm-| litg, although floods were already im-| minent over tho northern slope of th? | Ohio basin in the states of Ohio and Indiana. The dow'npour of rain tl’roughoiit this section was the heav iest ever known. During the night ot March 24 all of the stream of Ohio and Indiana passed their flood stages, and within 24 hours many of them reached record-brcak- ing heights. On the morning of March 25, one year ago today the people of Dayton awoke to find that the Miami river had .-eached a height of 8 feet above the highest previously record. The breaking of the levees resulted in the inundation of two thirds of the city including the whole of the busi ness section. Many places were un der 20 feet of water. For several days some 75,000 people were marooned 111 the upper stories of buildings. Many fires broke out and great BuEforinJt was caused by lai'k of food.shelter and dry clothing. When the waters finally subsided and the city relieved bv out side help it was found that scores of lives had been lost and millions of dollars in property destroyed. CKIIIC MICA. .Man'll :l.
