AT an early hour this morning fires
were raging in various sections of the
belea guered city. The maddened pOpu-
lation, whose nerves had been shattered
by the almost incessant bombardment
for a period of over five months, was
fleeing about the streets. The great
artillery arsenal in the city was burn
ing. The Bulgarians in strong force
gradually advanced their lines encirc-
ling the city and by short rushes the
infantrymen approached near enough
to prepare for the final dash. The en-
tire line of fortreSses defending the
eastern side of the city was captured
by the Bulgarians after a most spec
tacular assault at the point of the
bayonet by long lines of infantry which
were strengthened rapidly by the sec
ond or reserve lines. The eastern fort
soon fell into their hands and Bulgar-
ian batteries were placed in position
to concentrate their fire on the other
works. The way was thus cleared for
a direct assault on the city itself.

Chicago. March 26.-Eye witnesses Of
the flooded districts of Ohio, who
reached Chicago today, told stories of
devastation From windows of the
Baltimore & Ohio train, itself "fording
floods for miles, w. H. Chown, of
England, saw men, women and chill

For miles and miles we saw moth

houses almost submerged could be seen
on every hand and from their windows
peopIe carrying what few articles they
could crawled into boats and hastily
rowed away.
Every stream we crossed seemed to
he a raging torrent, its murky waters
racing at top speed far beyond it's
natural boundary.
Absolute darkness seemed to reign
in the districts through which the train
passed lat night, according to Alfred
Griffin, another passenger.
1.-The farther we got the worse SEEM
ed to become the conditions" he said.
''There were no lights last night along
the entire countryside. 1t was most
gloomy and awe-inspiring. We could
hear the swish of the waters through
the darkness and every now and then
hear the cries of people in distress.

Dayton, Ohio, March 26.-(Via

one can even estimate the casualties.
Beneath the yellow sea that is seeth-
ing through the once gem-like city

the death list may not exceed 1000.
No one can picture the sickening sit
uation. Last night Dayton was a
marine inferno. Fires lighted the sky,
illuminated the rushing waters and
the swish of rain and swirl of cur
rents sounded a requiem for the
unknown and uncounted dead.

CASE OF ST0TTS
The Woman Who Circulated
Wife Beating Story.
She Went to Happiest Home i'm
City-The StOtts Home.

They have circulated lots of stories
during the city campaign about 'Gene
Stotts, candidate for park commits
sioner- Most of them are silly and
senseless and without foundation.
Stotts has been accused of all the
crimes and misdemeanors in all the
calendar of transgressions since Moses
visited Mt. Sinai. A story that has re-
Gently come to light, and which is alb
solutely true, points the moral for
most of this campaign stuff and ilIu-
strates it with real humor that will
be appreciated by the host of friends
of the genial and kindhearted com
missioner.
stotts, be it known, is a married
man, and has the finest wife and pair
of kidd1es in town. He loves his fam
lily devotedly and they think he is the
best and kindest father and husband
in the world. Well, not long ago, a
certain lady who had heard a lot of
stories about Stotts that she swallow
ed whole, started out to do her pa
triotic duty and save the city and
country from the forces of evil.
Among these stories was one to the
beating his wife. The lady took the
story without a speck of salt and
started out.
She made a house to house canvass
hnOchiHS DIT the front doors OF houses
wherein dwelt perfect strangers To
every lady who answered the bell she
narrated the story of Stotts' crimes
and wound up with the climax about
the wife and the club and the society
for prevention of cruelty.
Encouraged by the sensation her
report stirred up the patriotic lady in
the big hat carried her campaign to
the suburbs of the city. She entered
a trim house with a couple of rosy
checked youngsters on the porch.
Are you going to vote?' she de-
manded of the woman who answered
her ring.
Il expect to- was the reply
You wish to vote for the men who
will do most toward the moral up
lift of this city?''
why, certainly responded the
smiling mother of the youngsters, who
were gazing at the visitor in some
alarm.
Then there's one thing 1 must
warn you against. Don't vote for
Eugene Stotts. I'm going about in
the interest of clean city politics. l.
"But-'' began the hostess.

sued the suffragist, Eugene Stotts is

"Oh," responded the other, "T
don't believe 1t. Why, I've known
him intimately for six or seven years.
I intend voting for his reelection"

led the caller, icily.
'-Certainly,'' said the housewife. ''I

Launches Engaged in Rescue.
Six gasoline launches obtained from
along White river reached the inun-
dated territory in West Indianapolis
shortly before noon today and rescue
work proceeded rapidly then. Hun
dredS of frantic people, however, hum
CRY and nearly exhausted from stand
ing in water all night, are scattered
about in the vast flooded territory and
1t will be hours before all of them
can be moved. Practically all the
Hooded territory is on the west side
of the river, away from the center of
the city, and the rescued persons must
be taken into West indianapolis,
which remains entirely cut off. There
they are being taken care of best as
possible, but there is intense suffer-
ing among the refugees. Many per-
sons have clung to buildings through
out the night and most of the morn
ing with their bodies half immersed
IN the water. In many of the houses
the water went into the second floor
during the night and the trapped oc-
cupants, terrified lest the water rise
higher, stood for hours without food
and light.
From what seems to be authentic in
formation, fourteen are dead in West
indianapolis as the result of the break
ing OF Morris street levee last night.
Rescuers say that a family of six con-
slst1ng of father, mother and four chill
uIC Ci are u6dU III tIlelr homes. NO 61-
fort is being made to bring the bodies
out, as every means is being used to
get the women and children who in
many are either standing in water on
the second floor of their homes, or have
gone to the house tops and are suffer-
ing from the intense cold So far 424
persons have been brought to landing
station at Blaine avenue in skiffs and
canoes Stories of suffering among
refugees as they are being brought in
from the flooded areas this afternoon
are pathetic. In many cases the women
and children are unconscious from the
cold and exposure.
Twelve Bodies Recovered.
South Bend, March 26.-Twelve
bodies were recovered in a single
house in the southern part of Peru
this afternoon. This was taken to in
dicate that the loss of life in that sec
ton of the city was great as it was
there that dwellings were completely
submerged before the occupants could
vacate.
1t is now impossible to tell how
many lives were lost at Peru, said the
telephone message which brought the
information to South Bend. 1t was
reported that six survivors were suf-
focated in the overcrowded court
house. The weather has turned Sc
verely cold adding to the misery of the

Fire Story Confirmed.

Columbus, Ohio, March 26.-The
fire started in row of buildings on
Third street between Main and JEFF
ferson street next to the Library
building This point is two squares
of Phillips house. The fire is burn
ing south.
When the message was received by
the governor the fire was about to
reach the wholesale liquor district
and fear was expressed that this sec
ton would burn as if the flames were
fed with gasoline.
For the reason that Third street is
wide and the courthouse intervenes, it
was thought maybe the flames could
be checked before they spread to
other portions of the city
The report of the fire came from
Wire Chief Green of the Bell fele-
phone company, who says the fire is

Logansport Under 16 Feet Water.
Chicago, March 26.-Flood waters
of the Wabash river are sixteen feet
deep in the floors of the Pennsylvania
railroad station at Logansport, Ind,
and scores of people are marooned in
an upper story. Cadets from the Gull
yer military academy have arrived and
begun work of relief and rescue.
5000 on a Hill Without Shelter
South Bend, March fitzpatrick A.
Joyce, city controller of South Bend,
in charge of first relief party, tele
phoned that five thousand persons
were camped without shelter in a
park on hill; that the small court
house is crowded with 1000 surviv-
ors; the hospital with 1000 more,
and that three hundred children are
imprisoned in a school house. No
fires are allowed to be lighted and
the women and children are suffer-
ing intensely from the cold.
Indianapolis, March ga further

Scribable."
LIE Layton ma nSdyS Ine water was
plowing through the streets in mad
rush and that he had had nothing to
eat and very little water to drink for
48 hours. He said his name was
Davis.
He asked if there could be relief
soon and was glad to learn that the
governor was moving to their relief.
Davis said that corpses of human
beings and numerous dead animals
had floated by the building. Among
the debris was an enormous oil tank.
Davis added that the Equort build
ing had collapsed and had caught fire.
He said he and his party might have
to take a chance with the flood waters
if the fire got too near them.
The building in which Davis and
his party are iTnperiled is at the cor
ner of Jefferson and Fourth streets,
nal which concern well as the
Dayton News is half under water. Big
sheds, small houses and other build
ings were drifting past the refugees.
The Phoneton operator reported
that at this stage of the conversation
Davis's voice trailed off into silence.

more anyway. 1t got my goat, said
the local man.
