Jzarlier estimates of the number of dead are confirmed by refugees coniing to the city from North Topeka. In the darkness and rushing water no bodies can be recovered and the dead wi.ll not be counted until the flood abates. All energies are concentrated on rescue and relief, and it is impossible at this time to even attempt to make up a list of the missing. DEATH IN FLAMES OR BY DROWNING AWAITS POPULACE OPEKA, Kans., May 30 (midnight). “rom the Statehouse dome as many as elghty fires can be counted in different parts of North Topeka. The whole central portion of the city had been burned out-at 10 o’clock to-night and it is safe to say that by morning not a house in the main part of Nerth Topeka will be left standing. When it is sald that North Topeka has 10,000 inhabitants, the | extent-of the disaster can be realized People are clinging to the roofs of the and the limbs of the trees.

A company of militia has taKen charge of the work of rescue and owing to its ef- 1 several hundred perfons have been saved who otherwise would have per- ished. The situation of the beleaguered people to-night is desperate in the extreme. Not only are they threatened by fire and wa- ter, but, through long exposure in the cold, dismal atmosphere, without suffi- clent clothing, they are doomed in any event. Delicate women and children have been without food or shelter since early last evening. Several of the persons rescued told of having witnessed the drowning of others during /the day. The names of the | drowned cannet be given to-night, as it | is impossible to | number of victims. ascertain the correct ‘William Wright, who manned one of the boats, told of the death of a mother and child which he witnessed and which so affected him that. he could not congfinue his work. His stoty is as follows, ‘1 was _just returning with a woman and two children from a house near North and Harrison streets. As I was 'coming back, in a house on Van Buren street a woman with a child clilmbed out on to the porch and attempted to get into the boat, The small boat 1 had.was filled to its ca- pacity and it would have been impossible for me to do anything if I tried. The wo- man was swept away in the current be- fore my eyes. Business in Topeka is practically at a standstill because of Memorial day and tores were closed the greater part of the day. The flood and the condi- tion- of the sufferers took the attention of every one to the exclusion of every- thing else. An army of men was engaged in the relief work and it would be idle to attempt to place an estimate on the im- mense number rescued by their efforts, Fire Chief Wilmarch was in a boat which came near being swamped. When his boat struck the swift current under the Tenth-avenue bridge it was jerked loose from the hold the men had on a safety | wire that had been stretched from pier to pler. The Chief succeeded in catching hold of the guy wire, but was compelled to remain there several hours until taken off by a skiff. . The insane lum is very near the river, on the south side, and gn account of the rapidly rising water it is not im- probable the whole institution may have to be abandoned before morning. he asylum is composed of ten buildings and is the biggest pub.c institution in the State, with about 3000 inmates. The asy- lum has already lost its ice and water and great difficulty is being expe- conducting the institution. rience | There s no danger to the inmates and wihen necessity arrives they can be re- moved to safety. All day long the need of boats was felt. Kansas River ordinarily is a very shal- low stream and there are no boats of any size obtainable. The small boats can- not be rowed against the swift current which sweeps the streets. If a steam launch were at hand many persons would be saved who are now .acing certain death. At Chicago Lumber Company's vards B. Betts, a wealthy citizen and a member of the Legislature, had a gang of men engaged nearly all day in mak- ing scows that kept communication open on the bridge that connects the two parts of the town. .ne scows are clumsy af- fairs, but they played a most important part in the work of the day. Oakland, a suburb five miles northeast of Topeka, is deserted. The people be- gan leaving at 2 o'clock this afternoon, after having been warned by the city en- gineer. At 4 o'clock the water from the river backed up over the street car tracks in Fast Toveka, near the S8anta Fe shops. The warning for the people between Brewer street and the river to get out was not made a moment” too soon, as that part of the city is to-night com- pletely flooded. Farther out, between En- nis and Benton streets, the water rose early in the afternoon. In this locality several persons are still in dangerous po- sitions, It is asserted that the police have all the boats under their charge, and that the houses In this district are given this much protection. The houses in this section are being looted, and the police are trying to get possession of all the boats and stop the plunaering. At about 3 o'clock a current began to flow with great swiftness through a break in the buildings lining the block between .Crane and First streets. This widening of the current made it still harder work to pull the boats across to the pontoon by means of the line. Also a great lot of driftwood commenced to come down the new current, pressing with great force against the pontoon. A number of men were stationed at this point with pike poles, and it was only by hard and continuous work on their part that the drift was kept from piling up and pushing the bridge away. One of the men who worked all the sfternoon with a pike pole was Dr. Kaster, chief surgeon of the Santa Fe. The, most prominent the P. Baldwin, who at great risk to his | —_——— men in the city worked as common labor- ers all day. In the Auditérium to-night 2000 home- less people are quartered. The soclety women of the elty are there attending to tne refugees’ necds. Great wagonlon of clothing and provisions have been sent and the_immediato needs of the unfortu- nates haVe been provided for. In this large number of refugeos are Russiany, Itallans and many othera of the poorer class of the city's population. A number of these ares afMicted with contaglous diseascs, but' it In tmpossible to enforce any quarantine regulattons, The physi- clang of the clty say that as a result of this an eptdemic of sickners of all kinds may be looked for, Quarantipe regula- tions aro lost wight of by the rescuers. Children suffering from scarlot fever are compolled to be near thoxe who are well. The county Courthouse and the Pederal bulldings are crowded to-Light by persons of all clamses. ‘There s no luck of help for unything that is to be dor Men of all callings and professlons, white and black together, work v by side, doing | whatever les in thelr power, As the water advanced it became nec- e8sary to dvive ambulunces and car- ridges to the south end of the pontoon, in water so deep that the horses had to swin. Among those who took a hand in this work were James A. Troutman, Uyrus Leland, a famous politician; pas- tors of the leading churches, Father Hayden of the Church of the Assump- tion, the Counly Attorney, the Sheriff and his deputies, Several well-known “Jointista” datinguished themselves in the work of resoue, A number of trus- tiez at the county jall were liberated by the Sherift to glve them a chance to help the sufferers there. BSheriff Lucas was In charge of affalrs on the pon- toon, and he says that no men gave bet- ter sorvice than these prisoners. If it became necessary to get out into the water shoulder deep they did it will- ingly. One of the men, named Weath- erly, was credited with having saved five lives on the north side, The ‘entire city is thoroughly at the mercy of any fiv that might break out. The fire chief to-night issued the fol- lowing order otice—kivery property-owners knowing the present condition of the city water works, should take every precaution to prevent fire on his prem- In case a fire should occur the Fire Department will do everything in its power for abating it, but I hope the people will understand the serious situ- ation and see that no fire is started. It is their duty to do this and they should see that it is done, even if they have to wateh during the night.” The Board of Health to-night issued the following order: “Don’t drink any water unless it is boiled—not even cistern water. Burn up all refuse matter that lies on the ground.” The physicians say that the boiling of Water is of the utmost importanee, as there is grave danger of a typhoid fever epidemic after the flood subsides, and the drinking of the contaminated of Topeka, occupants. cltizen and bhoth water will render persons especlally liable to an attack. Mayor Bergundthal to-night issued the following order: “It is of the greatest importance to the people of Topeka to come to the relief of the flood sufferers. Contributions of | clothing, especially shoes, bedding. money |and in fact everything, are solicited, to be brought to the Commercial Club rooms as quickly as possible. “Topeka people who did not suffer in the flood should come to the immediate relief of the sufferers. The headquarters will be open all day Sunday. Contribu- tions can be brought there at any time during the day."” ~John E. Frost, immigration agent of the Santa Fe, is in charge of the relief head- quarters. Early in the forenoon Company A and Battery B turned out to help jn the res- cue work. Company A was in charge of Captain E. E. Banks and First Lieutenant Evans. There were thirty-five men. Cap- tain Patterson of the battery had twenty- four men. The militiamen were assigned to police duty and did their share, with the regular force and a number of spe- cialg, in keeping the mob from crowding forward on the workers. In the early part of the forenoon people were permit- ted to go down the avenue as far as the Chesterfield. Later the dead line was es- tablished at Second street, and the crowd was held south of that point. The men of the battery worked like beavers while the pontoon was being built hauling up poles from the power- house to be used in making the bridge. After this task was completed they re- mained on the ground and made them- selves generally useful. The pontoon bridge was built over the backwater to the Melan arch bridge, and many were rescued by this means. It ‘was pitiful to note the condition some of the refugees were in when they were re- ceived on the south side. Mothers with little ones held firmly in their arms sobbed with nervous dread, while they shivered and shook with fear and cold. In the case of many of them it seemed that the magnitude of the disaster and the troubles through which they had gone had numbed their sensibilities. They. were crushed by the weight of the catas- trophe. ADVERTISEMENTS.

To-night thers must be between 200 and 300 flood mufferers making their homes there, and it s almost impossible to hear a word of Lnglish spoken. After working all day Friday deliver- ing lce the teams and drivers of the | Mytual Ice Company spent all Friday night bauling people from North To- peka. One driver, Beeler, rescued more than 500 persons with one wagon and team. In the afternoon a man with a store y in a grip paraded back and m_the pontoon and dealt out the weary and water-sonked and a great many of them re. ceived it gladly. Steaming coffes aiso was supplied to the workers, To Firemen Berger and Baker belongs the credit of a daring rescue and one in which they placed their lives at great hazard. Ed Butts, who was with the rescuing gang on the north end of the bridge, had ventured too far out into the current and was swept away. Ie managed to catch hold of the scales at Billard’s mill. The two firemen ven- tured out in a boat to a place where the man could be reached by a rope, despite the orders of Chief Wilmarth to come back. After the man was pulled into the boat it took a desperate fight to row \ | the boat back to the bridge. Burt Potter, a Santa Fe man down in | the shop district, says that a man who was in a tree on the North Slde became crazy and shot himself. At varfous times during the day he had been calling for help, and twice a rescue party tried to | take him off. Each time he refused to leave his tree. After going away the sec- ond time, members of the party say, they heard a shot and saw his body fall into the water. ‘When the rainy night added to the wretchedness in North Topeka the clouds over that part of the town reflected shades which made it'look as though tons of fireworks were burned on the North Side. Had it not been for the fact that the wind all day blew steadily from the north, most of the buildings across the river—certainly those along Kansas ave- | | nue—would have been destroyed by fire before night. . The property loss will reach into the millions. North Topeka was the manu- facturing district of the city. Three large flour mills, three woolen mills and other manufacturing establishments are entirely destroyed. Seven thousand or more fugitives are cn this side of the river, sheltered in public buildings and in the homes of citi- zens. Topeka Is now able to take care otl all the unfortunates. | SCORES OF DOOMED MEN IN TREETOPS CALLING FOR HELP TOPEKA, Kan., May 3. (10 p. m.)—| Every foot of North Topeka, inhabited by 10,000 people, 1s under water. The cur- rent is so swift that no boat can live in it. Several thousand residents have es- caped to the south side and are being cared for as well as possible. The re- maining large number have not yet been accounted for. They have been seen on tops of houses and waiting for the water to subside or be rescued. They are safe only =0 long as the houses stand. Below town scores of men are in tree tops yelling for help. Thousands of re- volver shots and screams have been heard on the north side—signals for aid. ‘Women and children in the west part of North Topeka, where the water is prob- ably deeper than at any other point in the immediate part of the city, are stand- ing on the highest point within reach and vet are in water to their necks. It is reported by men who have been in sight of the district that hundreds there are suffering and sick. The current is so strong that oars dre useless and early in the afternoon a gang was being organ- | ized to row as far thither as possible and then to swim the rest of the distance. Several boats and wagons were over- turned and men and women were seen struggling in the water. The river reached the Rock Island de- pot on First street this morning. The water on Crane strest is eight feet deep and the current is like 2 mill race. Per- haps 100 persons have been hurled into the water at this voint. The river is twenty-five feet above low-water mark and is still rising. The weather is cold and re!ldenli who DR. PIERCE'S REMEDIES.

The street rallway company does not expect to be able to start cars within a week. Six thousand persons are homeless, 30 per cent of whom are practically without shelter and have been unfed for twenty- four hours, during which time they hav been exposed to the inclement weather. ‘Women and children shivered all night | long in ralnsoaked garments, upable to find a dry place on which to lie.
