Dayton, O.—Mayor Edward Phillips,
who was reported drowned, with his
family, was marooned more than 60
hours in his home on Mount street.
He was rescued by boats.
‘‘The water caught us early Tues
day morning.” Mayor Phillips said.
“During Tuesday the water was four
teen feet deep around the house and
that night I chopped a hole through
the ceiling of second floor room and
we spent the night in a little attic.
The big west side fire was just two
blocks from us and when the wind be
gan to carry burning embers in our
direction it looked serious. I watched
the roof nearly .all night. Late Thurs
day afternoon my wife, daughter, son
and myself were taken out by bots.”
For 36 Hour*.
How five people clung for 36 hours
on a telegraph pole where they had
climbed from a moving wagon, how a
physician, his four-year-old boy and
a negro woman servant were jammed
up against a building and saved only
by the swift current which kept their
disabled boat clinging to the wall, and
how scores of other persons were siev
ed was revealed today when free com
munication was established with res
cuers who had worked in the flooded
district ever since the water poured in
last Tuesday before daylight.
"I was patrolling the waters’ edge
for fires a few hours after the levee
broke when I heard cries for help
down a street where the water was 13
feet deep," said Wm. Carver, Captain
of an engine company.
Washed Half Mile.
"I’d seen four women and a man In
a moving van which had been washed
for a half mile when they struck a
telegraph pole. The horses were
drowned and the van was about to
tumble over when the man and wo
men succeeded in climbing up she
pole. All that day they clung there
in freezing rain and sleet. They took
turns crying for help. Not until the
next day did boats reach them.
“Tuesday night I found Dr. D. A.
Allaman, his son and a negress cling
ing to a wall at Broadway and the
Panhandle railroad tracks, attempted
to row across the street but their boat
hit a telegraph pole and was split In

Fire Broke Out.
“When fire,broke out at Broadway
and Mound, I saw one man in a row
boat rowing around in circles and
while the people in the upper floors
of the opposite buildings were scream
ing for help this man was yelling ‘25
dollars a head if you want to be sav
ed, twenty-five dollars a head.” Some
body came along in another boat and
threw this man into the water. His
boat was then used to save others."

ANXIETY OYER THE REPORTED
ILLNESS J. PIERPONT MORGAN
Rome. —J. Pierpont Morgan’s con
dition Is such that his physicians
have prescribed the "rest cure” for
him. This means that he will be de
prived of the privilege of seeing even
his Intimate friends, who will be rig
idly excluded from his apartments.
Officially, It Is announced, Mr.
Morgan’s condition remains un
changed and that while he Is not suf
fering from any specific disease, his
lihyslclans, Prof. Gulseppe Bastlan
elll and Dr. George A. Dixon, are In
attendance dally and are aiming at
strengthening his entire organism.
For this reason they have ordered
complete rest for their patient.
First Week.
During his first week In Rome,
contrary to the advices of the doc
tors, Mr. Morgan rather overexerted
himself and among other things wont
dally to observe the construction of
the American Academy ontop of Jan
lculum Hill. On Sunday last Mr.
Morgan Insisted up on attending the
Easter services, which In the opinion
of the physicians, greatly fatigued
him. Then they gave stringent In
structions that he should avoid any
exertion.
Herbert L. Satterlee, son-in-law of
J. P. Morgan, In answer to inquir
ies tonight, regarding Mr. Morgan’s
health, said:
Over Fatigued.
"Mr. Morgan was visited today by
Dr. George A. Dixon of New York,
and Prof. Gulseppe Rastlanell, and
both physicians agreed that he Is
simply over tired. Mr. Morgan slept
most of the day, because, owing to a
great ball held at the hotel where he
Is staying, he passed an uncomfort
able night. He enjoyed his mealß to
day, however, and took abundant
nourishment.” | ! - 1 ! 9R
Although under the circumstances
It Is Impossible to make any definite
plans, Mr. Satterlee Is hopepful that
Mr. Morgan will be able to leave
Rome soon. He expects to go first
to his house In London, where it Is
believed the more bracing air will
benefit him, and will proceed later
to one of the health resorts.
New York.—The Associated Press
Saturday night asked Mr. J. P. Mor
gan, Jr., who was at his home at 231
Madison avenue, for some comment
in regard to the despatches from
bom London, that his
father’s recovery was not progressing
| iuvoiubiy. Mr. Morgan said:
GENERAL
NEWS
“I received a cable message this
afternoon which, while It gave no de
tails, Indicated that my father’s con
dition had been less favorable for the
last three days and, In view of his
years, is such an to give rise to con
siderable anxiety.”
Wm. Pierson Hamilton, a partnef
lu the banking house of J. P. Morgan
& Co., left New York for Liverpool
Hiaturday aboard the Adriatic. He
was to have been accompanied by
Henry P. Davison, anolhor member
of the firm, but Mr. IJavluon at the
last moment concluded to take a later
ship and will probably leave during
the coming woek.
"I am simply going at this time,"
said Mr, Hamilton, “because business
Is In .ouch shape that I can make the
trip. If I am In Rome or elsewhere
wnen Mr. Morgan is there It la very
likely that I will see him. That's all
I have to say."
