FLOOD AT LONDON, ONT.
Tho Thames Suddenly Rises ana Does Much
Damage Along tho Valley.

Damage hlong tho valley.
LONDON. Ont. March IA great flood 90
CURED in this city yesterday. London is at the
confluence of two branches of the Thames, and
every spring. on the breaking up Of the ice,
there is more or less of a food in the valley.
This spring 1t has proved moro destructive than
ever before. Last night rain began to fall. and
it continued steadily till early this morning.
with the result that both branches overlooked
their banks.
This was the signal for a general exodus from
the cottages in the lower portion Of the valley.
but as the day advanced the waters continued
70 rise and there was a general movement to The
higher situations. and many stood in groups on
the hillsides, fathers and mothers surrounded
by children, wondering where they could find
shelter.
The hotels, however, opened their doors, and
80 did kindly disposed citizens, ana all were
housed in one way or another. The people at
fected are all of the operative class and 30 have
little money ahead. The loss to property Is great.
Tonight the water is falling.
q. The people of West London are tonight
anxiously watching. and no one is asleep; The
Lake ST., Calire are submerged, including
Thamesville. Chatham, kilworth, Delaware,
and the whole Indian reserve.

ORTIZ STEIN BADLY BEATEN.
Attacked 81 Jshu Berry In the Bauius noou
OF mn Atlanta Hotel.


OF an Atlanta Hotel.
ATLANTA, Ca, March 14.-When tho Kim
ball House dining room was thronged tonight
there was q fight between Orth Stein. editor Of
tho Looking Glass. and Judge John Berry Of tho
City Court. The affair was the result of q long
series of court scandals, beginning with Stems
assertion some time ago that Berry and his So
licltor had victimized prominent poker players.
A fcw days ago Berry was knocked Town in the
Capital City Club by Capt. James English for
circulating q report that English owned the
Looking Glass, which is a weekly somewhat
on iconoclast lines. On Saturday Stein re-
ferred to the club incident. lauding English for
his course and denouncins Berry's action in
giving circulation to such canards. This even
ing Stein and Berry occupied tables in the
kimball dining room. Berry was dining with
Capt. Lucius McCloskcy and some ladies'. He
excused himself. and walking over to the other
table, struck Stein q terrific blow on the sido
of the head with a catsup bottle. Stein at
tempted to draw his revolver. In some man
uer 1t became unbreached, and Berry wrested 1t
from his grasp and struck him across the face
with 1t. Then he kicked Stein in the face.
He then called Stein q "c~ontemptible cur"
and walked out of Tho hall. Stems wounds
were bleeding profusely, and friends took him
to his apartments. The affair caused n STAN.
pede among the guests. and the management
will probably take some action to punish Berry.

telegraphed the presiden regarding the
publication Of the ''rOundrObin,' signed
by the general officers Of his command,
as follows: II can very readily see what
intense excitement the publication must
have ocoasioned--s great deal more than
the situation warranted. The situation
is greatly aggravated from the fact that
before any OF the men were taken i'll
they were thoroughly exhausted. At
least 75 per cent Of the command had
been down with malarial fever, from
which they recover slowly, and are
In no condition TO stand an attack Of yel.
low fever or dysentery. Placed here now
In the condition in which they were
when they came here, do not believe
they would be in any particular danger
The regiment OF immunes that recently
arrived Is not suffering at all, and | do
not believe they will. They can keep out
Of the sun, and are we'll clothed and
well fed. What put my command
in its present condition was twenty
days Of campaign when they had
nothing but meat, bread and cof
fee, without change Of clothes, without
any shelter whatever and during period
twice as stormy as 1t has been since the
surrender Fresh troops reaching here
In the middle Of August with good
camps, good water, abundance OF tentage
which they will lind here, need not ap.
prehend serious danger. thank you for
the high regard in which you hold my
command and value the service they
rendered. It pays for all the suffering
we endured Generals Wheeler, Lawton.
Bates and Kent concur with me in the
view expressed above"
