Three Lives Lost.

The fatalities are:
 Frederick Koppmann aged 66 years, tripped and fell, breaking his neck, while removing goods from his home. Joseph Davis and Joseph Flocker, mill workers, were drowned by the eapsizing of a skiff in the Allegheny.
 An Unusual Rise.
 A November flood is quite common. but it rarely reaches the danger line. and for this reason the steady rains of the past few days caused no alarm. The precipitation has been heavier than usual in the mountains at the headwaters of both rivers, however and II was not until late Monday that the warning was sent out that both streams were getting beyond their banks, and that there was danger ous flood threatened. The result was the fast rising waters caught many wholly unprepared, and much valua- bic property that was tied up for only moderate stage was carried away.
 Passed the Danger Line
 The danger line is 24 feet and this
 
 was passed about 3 a. m.. and seven hours later the marks at Davis island dam registered 25 feet and inches Both rivers were stationery. and it was thought that the worst was over. and before nightfall the waters would be recedinr.
 All Lowlands Inundated.
 The lowlands in Pittsburgh, Ale gheny county, South, Sharpsburg and Mckeesport, are inundated, and near ly every plant fronting the two rivers has been forced to shut down. Hun- dreds of families in these districts have either been driven from their homes or are living in the upper floors and using skiffs. There were many narrow escapes from drowning during the night, and several men are report ed 10 the police as missing, but only three fatalities are known.
 Fatal Attempt.
 Davis md Flocker, with three com Ranions, attempted to row across the Allegheny in a skiff, which became un- manageable and collided with coal boat. The men were thrown into the river, and Davis and Flocker drowned. The others clung to the upturned boat, and were rescued after being carried two miles down the river.
 Railroad Bridge Swept Away.
 At Neville island, the four-span rail- road bridge in course of construction was swept away during the night. It was being erected for the American Steel and Wire Co.,, and was also to be used For passenger traffic by the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railrood Co

Reviews in Detail the Workings of the Big Company During
 the Past Twelve Months.
HOLLANDS TRIAL
 A GREAT SUCCESS Large Party of Congressman Watch the Movements of
 Submarine Boat

Washington, March 14.-A large congress sional party, including members of the sen- ate and house committees on naval affairs, today witnessed the performances of the Holland submarine torpedo boat. The par ty was accompanied by MT. Allen, assist ant secretary of the navy, Admiral Dewey and other naval officers. The presidents yacht, the Sylph, conveyed them down the Potomac to a point near Mount Vernon, where the torpedo boat after engaging in some preliminary manoeuvers, made iler dives.
 The party on the Sylph followed along side and noted the progress of the boats movements. On her first dive she remain ed submerged for ten minutes, going in a straight away course, approximately mile. Coming up after this run, she dis charged torpedo from her torpedo tube at an imaginary enemy's war vessel, and then turning, dived again immediately, and came up some distance away. Following this she made a succession of short dives, being submerged in all four or five times.
 Admiral Deweys secretary, Lieutenant Caldwell, was an occupant of the boat. Members of the congressional party, after their return to the capital, said they com sidered the exhibition a success, so far as this could be determined without being on board the boat

CAUSED FEELING OF RELIEF.
News Reached London Too Late for
 Demonstration.

London, March 14.-Lord Roberts dis hatch caused a feeling of great relief. The absence of the news eagerly looked for has provoked some apprehension, during the earlier part of the day, that the British had met with a check before Bloemfontein ana anxious inquiries were made at the war office and in the lobbtes of parliament.
 On the reception of the news the queen at Windsor castle. the Prince Of Wales at Marlborough house, Lord Wolsely ana others were immediately notified, but at , o'clock the war office was almost deserted, the public having given up hope or further news until tomorrow CThursday). The ap- pearance of the newspapers with the tid- ings caused great excitment along Padi Mall, at the service clubs and in the West End generally. Owing to the late hour, however, there was no demonstration ap- preaching the slightest degree the herald ing of the surrender of Oronje and the re- lief of Ladysmith.
 It so happened that a torch 1fSht pro- cession organized on an extensive scale for the widows and orphans funds, was parading South London with bands ana banners. This included of uniformed men representing the British field forces, tne surrender of Cronje, and other inspiring in- cidents The route was hung With nags' and stai11s were erected at numerous points for spectators. Naturally, the ap- peaIance of the extra editions of the even ing papers created furore of enthusiasm among the paraders, who greeted the news with cheers and singing The queen con- manded that the news be immediately pub lisihed, and sine instructed her equerry at the dinner table to send "a note to the off, ficer of the household brigade. The bat talion was called on parade at 1915 p. m. Major Staubine read her majesty's note, and called for cheers for the queen and Lord Roberts. The band played "God save the Queen" Wherever Lord Roberts dis patch was read his reference to the Late President Steyn' and the late executive was immediately fastened upon as highly significant.

ENTERED AT NOON:
President Steyn and Fighting Burghers
 Had Fled Northward

London, March 15.-A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Bloemfontein, dated Tuesday evening, March 13, says:
 'Bloemfonten surrendered at 10 o'clock today. It was occupied at noon, President Steyn with a majority of the fighting burghers having fled northward. General French was within five miles of the place at o'clock Monday afternoon. He sent a summons into town, threatening to bom- bard unless it surrendered by a. m. Tues day. A white flag was hoisted Tuesday morning and deputation of the town council. with Mayor Kelner, came out to meet Lord Roberts at Spitzkop, five miles south of the town, making formal surren- der of the place.
 Lord Roberts made a state entry at noon. He received tremendous ovation. After visiting the public buildings he went to the official residence of the president, followed by cheering crowd who waved the British flag and sang the British na- tonal anthem. They were in condition of frenzied excitement.
 "On Monday afternoon, previous to the surrender, there had been little shipping and smelling, but the enemy then retired.
 Lord Roberts has his headquarters at the presidents house, and there many of the British wounded in the building. The railroad is not injured"

The Campaign is Now Believed
 to be Half Over.
ALL LONDON IS AGAIN ovERJoYED
Officials of the Free State Capital Came to Meet the Advancing Army and Surrendered Keys
 to the City.

London March 14.-9 p. mt is officially Bloemfontein, and that the British flag is flying from the top of the capitol.
 The following is the text of Lord Rob erts dispatch to the war office announcing his occupation of Bloemfontein:
 Bloemfontein March 13.-S p. m.-By the help of God and by the bravery of her majestys soldiers the troops under my command have taken possession of Bloem- fontein. The British flag now flies over the presidency evacuated last evening by Mir. Steyn, late president of the Orange Free islative government; the mayor. the secre- tary to the late government, the landrost and other officials met me two miles from the town and presented me with the keys of the public offices. The enemy have withdrawn from the neighborhood, and all seems quiet. The inhabitants of Bloemfon- tein gave the troops a cordial welcome.
 The above dispatch, though dated Tues day, was not received at the war office un- til 7:S0 o'clock p. m. Wednesday. It was made public few minutes before g O clock. The delay is attributed to the field tele- graphs not being connected with Bloem- fonten on Tuesday evening. Extra papers are already out the streets, and the night crowds of London are singing patri- otic songs and engaging in demonstrations

CAMPAIGN HALF OVER.
No Wonder That Roberts Is Hero of
 the Hour.

London, March 15, 4:45 a. m.-The first half Of the campaign is over. Lord Rob- erts arrived at Modder river on February g. He entered Bloemfontein on March 13. Thus in little over @ month he has eff fected the relief of Kimberley and Lady smith, the capture of General Cronjes' forces, and the hoisting of the British flag dn the capital of the Free State All this has been accomplished with comparatively trlfiing losses.
 1t is small wonder that ne is the hero of the hour in England. All the news papers eulogize him and congratulate the country. They talk of the Free State as having passed out of existence, and as be- dng now one of the shadows of history.
 It is not doubted that there may be heavy fighting yet, but the genius of Lord Roberts is looked to for victory over all difficulties. His grim reference to the 'Iate' President Steyh Is understood to show that there shall be no ambiguity as to the position assumed toward the repub- lies The fact that MT. Frazer late chair man Of the Free State,- and leader of the opposition to MT. Steyn, came with the deputation to surrender the keys, is re- garded as extremely significant of consid- erable difference of opinion among the Free Staters regarding the war.
 It is said that President Kruger hates Mr. Frazer on account of his sympathy with the Outlanders The demonstrations of the Bloemfontein inhabitants are also regarded

SHOT BY A DOCTOR
The Wounded Woman Will Not Give the
 Details

Chicago, March 1.-The woman who was taken to the county hospital wound ed in the right hung, and who refused to say anything except that she was Mrs E. Brown of 6oi North Thomas avenue, told the police to-day that she was Mrs. Bertha Richter. She said she had been shot by Dr. Ostrowsh of 279 South Halstead street, who accompanied her to the hospital, but she refused to tell any of the details. Last night the doctor took the woman to the hospital in carriage. He said she had called at his office and had complained of feeling faint. On examination he found that her right lung had been pierced by Outlet, and on the way to the hospital she became unconscious.
 Dr. Ostrowski was arrested later at his home. He at first denied having shot the woman but later admitted it. claiming however, that 1t was an accident He was taken to the hospital and Mrs. Richter was asked if he was the man who shot her, but she refused to say word. A revolver with one chamber discharged was found in the doctors apartments, and he said it was the weapon with which Mrs Richter had been shot
 The hands of the woman are powder burned and this causes the police to believe that the shooting was the result of a strug- gle between the two. Ostrowski is an Aus tralian, who has lived in Chicago but a short time His wife and family reside at Hammond, Ind. The condition of Mrs. Richter is critical She is the wife of Paul Richter, an artist living in Chicago. She has not been living with her husband He said today when informed that she had been shot that he had not heard of her in several months.

THE BoERs oUTFLANRED.
French Held Army in North and Soutf

London, March 15.-A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Bloemfontein, dated Tuesday evening, ' o'clock, says:
 "We surprised and outfanked the ene- my with irresistible force over night. Gen eral French held the army north and south of Bloemfontein, while Lord Roberts de- spatched a prisoner on parole, threatening to Lombard unless the city surrendered. The townsmen became alarmed. President Steyn and the chief members of the execu- tive council fled and proclaimed Kroon- stadt to be the capital.
 sSteyn fled to Winburg. At last only 5000 fighting men remained, and in tine morn ing. many finding themselves so weakened, broke their ranks. Others fled. The rem nant still shelled General French at da wn, but the opposition soon collapsed.

No new warrants in con- nection with the Goebel assassination were issued. Gabriel Taul, the Breekinridge county suspect, was arrahgned before Judge Moore, but was dismissed, there not being sufficient evidence against him to even hold him a a witness.
