LONDON, March 15.--The following
was the text of Lord Roberts dispatch
to the war office announcing his oecu-
pancy Of Bloemfontein:
"BIoEmFoNTEIN Tuesday, March IL

the bravery of her majesty's soldiers,

secretary to the late government, the

miles from the town and presented me
with the keys to the public offices.
1.-THE enemy have withdrawn from
the neighborhood, and all seems quiet.
The inhabitants of Bloemfontein gave
the troops a cordial welcome"
Crowds in London were making dem.

"Steyn fled to Winburg. At last only
1900 fighting men remained and, in the
morning, many finding themselves SC

GIittering Record.

Rumor has it that State Treasurer
Kendall answered possible three out
of fifteen questions propounded to
him at Morgantown the other day
when he underwent examination for
admission to the bar says the Charles
ton Gazette. This has led a proInin.
ent political observer to PROFOUND the
following mathematical problem: Mr..
Kendall is a candidate for congress.
If he carries the same proportion of
the twelve counties in his district as
he answered questions at that law ex-
animation, how near will he come to
get there? Is there anyone who can
this?

M'KINLEY URGED
SALISBURY TO ACCEPT.
but Declined the Request of the
Boer Governments.

WASHINGTON, March l5.-The answer
of Lcrl Salisbury to the message from
Presidents Kruger and Steyn, which
was transmitted through over govern.
ment, as already indicated in the London
dispatches, was a declination.of the APP.
peal. 1t has ben transmitted to Adel-
bert Hay, United States consul at Pre-
toria, who viii submit it to the two
presidents. This marks the end of the
first overtures toward peace 1t is be-
heved here, however, that another eff
fort will soon be made by the Beers tc
attain peace, though recourse may be
had to some other agency than the
United States.
The Allen resolution, adopted by the
senate, calling for the correspondence,
must remain unanswered for the pres
ent, though there is reason to believe
the cause for maintaining secrecy on
this point will soon disappear. 1t is
stated, however, that the press dis.
patches have indicated the salient feat
ures of the correspondence with suffi-
cient accuracy, and that about the only
omission, SO far as can be learned, was
the failure to develop the fact that the
appeal of the Boer government that the
United States government might be al
lowed to intervene was accompanied by
an earnest expression by the president
of his Willingness to do anything within
his power to bring about the termina-
ton of the war, which he hoped might
be attained. Lord Salisbury's reply,
while firmly declining the request of the
Boer government, conveyed hisappreeia-
ton of the commendable sentiments
which inspired the presidents utter

UNIVERSITY NOTES.
Matters of Minor Interest About the
State Biggest Educational Institu.

Examinations begin on Monday
and the students are now on the us
nal grind in anticipation of them.
The reviews arc being taken this
week. A circular has been issued
from the Presidents office stating
that no special examinations are to
be given but that they must come at
regular time.
The work of building the pipe or.
gan in Commencement Hall is pro-
crossing rapidly and will probably
be completed ON time. No one is ale
lowed in the room while it is under
way but those who are employed GU
the work. Many of the curiosity
seekers have been disappointed at
this.
All work at the University on the
buildings and grounds has been sus.
pended on account of the snow fall.
A great deal of it had been put un-
der way and the grounds had al.
ready begun to show great improve
ment.
Most of the College organizations
have been around to have Rogers
take their pictures for insertion in
the Monticello which is to be issued
soon by the Junior Glass. The Class
promises a very delightful annual
and are bending every emery to get
it out on time. The number of pie
lures contained in it is to be about
the same as last year

May not be a Permanent Blessing.

w l. Ong, of Morgantown, was
caller at The Herald office to day and
states that he and his family are well
pleased with Morgantown. Incl
dental reference being made to
Waynesburg, Pa, he states that the
town is on a boom; ia some cases
store rooms which rented for $500
now rent for $1,000 per year. One
of the reasons given is that the farm
ers all over the county have sold
their coal land and none of them
practically owe dollar. Another
reason is that several Hebrew mer-
chants have struck up a lively com
petition and are running up rents,
each trying to secure first place. Mr.
Ong doubts whether in the end, the
farmers will be much benefited
When asked why, he replied: BE
cause they will set down and smoke
now and quit hustling Inside of a
year or two many of them will be in
debt again

MANAGER SWISHER.
H. l.. Swtsher OF the Acme Book Store
Has Leased the Opera House and will
Take Charge Aprit First.

Manager III. L. Swisher Of the Opera
House was seen this afternoon and
asked about his policy in regard to
that institution which he has just
leased. He will for the present have
no one associated with him being the
sole lessee and manager. AS far as
the attractions that he will have he
states that only the very best of their
classes will be booked. In advertis-
ing them he will at all times represent
them as they are.
Several good shows will be given
during the month of April if they can
be secured An arrangement with
several other towns among them be-
ing Uni ontown is being talked of
and may result in something tangible
before long. 1t is the intention to
get shows of the same high grade as
those given in Uniontown.
Mr. Swisher will endeavor at all
times to have good order in the Opera
House and to conduct it along the
lines it should be conducted on. No
very startling innovations will be in
PRODUCED at first. The fact that he is
behind the institution will be a guar
tee that the amusement loving public
will have their interests looked after
in the best possible manner. He is a
young man of 9rare judgment and ca
pacity and will make it safe finan-
cial venture as well as first class
place of amusement.
He has leased it for one year with
the privilege of three at six hundred
dollars year.

TWO CENTS
B. 4 0. WRECK AT LEMONT.
Local Freight Ran Into Rear
End of Shifting Train.

Engineer j. IL. Stillwagon of Local
Killed and IL ears and an Engine Al
most Totally Destroyed Rest OF
Train Crew Badly Shaken Up.
LEMoNT, March ia bad rear
end collision occurred on the b. IL O.
at this place at 8 a. IN. to-day, in
which Engineer j. M. Stiilwagon of
the local freight lost his life and IL
cars and an engine were made total
wrecks
The local freight was running two
hours late and was making fast time
when it neared this place. The
shifting crew had been working
along here for several hours and left
about 90 empty cars standing on
a siding.
There is a curve just north of here
and owing to this fact the engineer
of the freight could not tell whether
the cars ahead were ON the main
track or siding. The freight came
tearing around the curve and dash
ed into the standing cars, tearing
six OF them almost to pieces, and
pilling six Of the moving cars upon
top of the shifting train The cars
were forced together in such mass
that they reached TO the telegraph
wires above. The engine was com
pletely buried under the debris and
was badly wrecked. The wreckage
caught fire, but volunteer company
OF citizens soon put out the flames
Engineer StiIlwagon was on the
local freight and stuck to his post.
He was buried in the wreckage but
he was rescued few minutes after
the accident. He was still alive when
taken out, but was unconscious. He
was Immediately taken to the Cot
tage hospital at Connellsville 1t
was discovered that his skull was
fractured and that his body was
covered with bruises. He died short
ly after.
The conductor, fireman and brake
man all jumped from the train and
saved themselves, though the con
ductor sustained several bruises
irom the fall he got by jumping.
William Pierce, brakeman on the
train, had his back and ankle injur-
ed, but not seriously. He Is at his
boarding house on West Main street.
Connellsville
Charley Richey is the conductor
Of the train. Aside from the bruises
he sustained a severe sprained ankle.
The local freight train was made
up wholly of merchandise bound for
West Virginia points. There was
car load Of oats, one of -four, one Of
potash, and the rest were made up
OF miscellaneous articles. The oats
and -four and potash cars were
smashed to pieces and the contents
practically destroyed, while the 9th
err materials were thrown about in
confusion. The extent OF the loss
cannot be estimated at this time but
it will run into the thousands Of
dollars.
The dead engineer was son OF
squire Joseph Stillwagon Of Con
nellsville township, was rs years old
and lived on Prospect street, Con-
nellsville. He leaves wife aud one
child.

HE SUFFERED LONG
FROM DREAD LEPROSY.
Only Patient Ever Confined In Pittsburg
Died Yesterday Dwelling to be
Burned.
Pittsburg. Post.


The only leper that ever lived in
Pittsburg, Arthur d. Wilson, died
Yesterday morning at the municipal
hospital, where he had been confined
for two years and nine months He
had wife and daughter living in
Ohio. For Is years none OF his rel
atives or any members OF his family
have been permitted to visit him.
Wilson claimed TO be native OF
this city, and it is supposed he con-
tracted the dread disease while trav-
cling in Brazil.
The case was carefully attended
by the health authorities and by
nurses and given the best Of treat
ment The expense to the city is
to be about $4,000. Wilson was AZ
years old The remains will be
buried to-day
Director Brown, of the department
of safety, will ask Mayor Diehl to-
day to approve resolution for the
destruction of the house in which
the leper died. The building is q
two story frame structure and worth
but little money. 1t was built many
years ago in anticipation of cholera
epidemic and since its occupancy by
Wilson has been used for nothing
else than an isolated home for him.
