4 WRECKAGE LINES EACH RIVER BANK Waters Slowly Receding in the Northern Flood Districts. Irreparable Damage to Growing Crops in Oregon and Washington. Railway Lines Still Blocked by Slides and Two Deaths by Drowning. SEATTLE. Nov.

1n some sections of the flooded district, notably the Skagit and Snohomish rivers, the waters are slowly receding, but they have not fallen enough to give material relief. Small rivers south of this city, in King County, are still rising and great loss to private property is the result. Much of the oat crop, for which the Skagit River bottoms are famous, has been irreparably damaged, and baled hay in great quantities has been washed down the rivar and hundreds of bales on into the sound. From the north reports come of the drowning of about fifty head of cattle and many more sheep, bogs and horses. It 13 estimated that over 1,000,000 feet of logs and shingle bolts have been washed down tbe various streams emptying into the tound.

The river steam boat City of Champagne, Captain McConald, has returned from a perilous trip up the Skagit. Captain Mc- Donald says the voyage was attended by the greatest danger, the vessel being struck by floating trees and logs. He reports that the water bed risen around many large grain a depth of five or six feet. At Mount Vernon the water fell four feet to-day. Sedro reports six houses washed from their foundations, and at Hamilton, a small town in Skagit County, a large brick residence collapsed and several more dwellings were badly damaged.

During the day the water fell five feet in Snohomish City, but the tracks of the Great Northern Railroad are still submerged around the towns of Lowell, Monroe and Wallace. There was a fall of about four ieet to-day at Everett. There is but little improvement in the general railroad situation. No overland trains are running in any direction, though the Northern Pacific will make another attempt to-night to take a train east over tbe Cascades, hoping to transfer at Natchez Rivei. Its lines between this city and Tacoma are in a bad way.

The White River bridge is out and several landslides still block the way. On Thursday, it is expected, trains will be run from Tacoma and Portland. The Seattle and International ran a train north to Sumas this atternoon, affording connection with the Canadian Pacific That road's local agent reports that an overland loft Vancouver for tbe East to-day, and that westbound overlanda are moving again. By to-morrow the Great Northern expects to have a train running as far north as Stanwood on the coast line. The Western Union and Postal Telegraph wires are again in fairly good shape, but no mails have been received in this city for three dajs, save by boat from local points.

William Davidson and John Larson were drowned last night while trying to rescue a man from an island in the Yakima River. WHIT TIER EX-EMPLOYES ACCUSED. Warrants Issued for Three Women Charged With Brutality to the Inmates. LOS ANGELES, Nov. have been issued for the arrest on a charge of battery of Mrs.

Wilson, Miss Germain and Mrs. Henderson, who were employed in the female ward of the Whittier Reform School. Mrs. Sutherland, the discharged night watebwoman in the girls' dormitory, caused criminal proceedings to be instituted against tbe others. She claimed to tne District Attorney that tuese women abused the girls.

Mrs. Wilson was principal and Miss Germain was matron until last week, when they were discharged. According to tbe statements of Mrs. Sutherland, these two compelled the girl inmates to starjd still for four hours at a time. Rosa Johnson was whipped and put into a straitjacket and locked in a cell.

Lizzia Robinson and Siella Martinez were whipped and put into strait jackets for laughing over pictures in a magazine. These wbipDings were administered with broad Mary Kavanaugh ana Mary Gray were put in straitjacEets and locked in cells for gijrgling. Their feet were tied and cloths were tied over their months. Mrs. Sutherland claims that Mrs.

Henderson was in the habit of putting girls into lockers over night. All this began the iauer part of September, and Mrs. Sutherland says she wrote to John W. Mitchell to corae and investigate. The warrants have not been served yet, as it is expected the three officials will surrender themselves.

COLLISION AT EUREKA. The Tug Jig nger and Schooner Oceania Vance Crath Together. EUREKA, Nov. 17. The tug Ranger went outside the bar to-day to tow in the schooner Oceania Vance, bound to this port to load lumber for Sydney.

When the tug was nearing the schooner, the latter suddenly made a tack, coming onto the tug before her captain realized his danger. The schooner's jibboom swept the upper works of the tug, taking out the mast and rigging and smokestack, and demolishing the whistle and steam-pipes. Connections with the boiler were broken and escaped so rapidly that the tug was forced to mate for harbor, which was reached safely. The Buhne went to the assistance, but her services were not necessary. The bar became very rough ssortly afterward and the schooner was uanble to get in and her damages cannot be ascertained until she reaches port to-morrow.

The Zinita May He Saved. TACOMA, Nov. private dispatch from Hoquiam says the bark Zinita, which was wrecked near Grays Harbor, may be saved. Captain Frager will at once begin to clear the rigging to the lower masts, and says he can lighten the vessel to draw only seven feet of water ahe captain says the Zinita is fully insured. Fight at the Jfremton Mint.

EUREKA, Nov. Word was received in this city to-night of a fight which occurred at the Preston coal mine in this county yesterday. Mat Hulmlund was having an argument with another of the crew, when George Williams, cook for the crew, took part, angering Hulmlund. The latter tola Williams to attend 10 hi 6 pots and pans. This enraged Williams so that he ru-hed into the kitchen, seized a heavy frying-pan, returned to where Hulmlund was standing and struck him a fearful blow on the head with it, crushing his skull.

The chances lor Hulmlund's recovery are slight. DROWNED IN TEN-MILE RIVER. Mendocino Stage Driver Gallops His Horses Into a Swollen Stream at Night. CAHTO, Cal, Nov. 17.

George Thomas "Old George" as he was familiarly known night driver of the Eureka overland stage, was drowned in Ten-mile River early yesterday morning while en route with bis stage to Cummings, fifteen miles north of here. The river at the ford is always a shallow gravel bed during the early fall and sum mer months, but the heavy rains of Saturday and Sunday have swollen all the streams. Thomas had forded this stream twenty-four hours previously and doubtless had no thought of impending danger. The horses evidently galloped into the river where twenty feet of water was rushing at the rate of twelve miles an hour. The torrent probably carried all down tbe stream, as no evidence of wreckage remained.

information from the driver of the south-bound stage arriving here to-day at 1C o'clock to the effect that he had not passed Thomas en route or heard anything of his whereabouts aroused tha citizens of bis vicinity and a ireful search was instituted, with the result that Thomas' body was found nearly two miles from the point where he had attempted to cross. It was considerably mangled from violent contact with 'the rocks. Tbe horses were found alive 300 hundred yards from the ford, standing in five feet of water. They were entangled in the forward running gear of the stage and had remained in this condition for over thirty hours. The stage and contents are a total loss.

Two pouches of United States mail are missing, and the remaining five or six pouches are so watersoaked that the mail inclosed cannot be routed on account of its unreadable condition. The watch stopped at 3:50 o'clocc Monday morning, and at this hour two shrill calls were beard by persons living in the vicinity of the foru. Thomas had been in the employ of the stage company four years. He was unmarried, 53 years of ace, and had no known living relatives. He had always been regarded as a trusty man, and was ever sober and careful.

McLACHLAN MAY CONTEST. of the Congressman Claim That He Wmm Fairly Elected. LOS ANGELES, Nov. Friends and advisers of Hon. James McLacnlan insist that he will contest the election of Barlow for Congress in this district.

In this county alone there is a difference of 2341 between the Presidential and Congressional vote, and in the entire district there is a shortage of at least 4000 votes for Congress. Election officers say this discrepancy is hirpeiy accounted for by double voting for Congress, the names of McLachlan and Needham, Prohibitionist, being marked on the same ballot, hence neither counted. Actual tests show that the folding of a freshly marked McLarhlan ballot makes a. plain imprint after Needham's name. It is claimed McLachlan lost many votes in this way.

He has not yet decided to contest, but is seriously contemplating such action. LOS ANGELES STRIKE. Opera at the Jlurbank Theater Want Bach Pny. LOS ANGELES, Nov. The curtain did not rise at the Burbauk Theater to-night, where the Ideal Opera Company has been holding forth.

The cause of the shut-down was a strike on tbe part of several members of the company because Manager Malim could not accede to the demands for pay due on account of a former engagement. Miss Gracie Piaisted, the star of the company, was lor on with the performance, ana seems much grieved over the disagreement between players and manager. The house will be temporarily closed.

Dredging of Olympia Harbor Delayed. TACOMA, Nov. New York Dredging Company did not commence dredging Olympia harbor to-day. The company recently received the contract and brought up from tsan Francisco a hydrau lie dredger leased from the San Francisco Bridge Company. The Bowers Dredging Company, another bidder, brou ht suit to prevent the New York Dredging Company from fulfilling its contract, alleging an infringement of the Bowers Dredging Company's patents.

Halm of the Fiedad Mine. SAN DIEGO, Nov. The news comes from Lower California that G. H.

Hayes of San Francisco has just sold his gold mine called to Piedad at Jacalitos, east of Ensenada, the E. Wiltsee, a San Francisco capitalist, for $75,000 in gold.

Statements in His Concession ot the Greenwood Murder Verified. The Case for the Peopls Closed in the Trial of the Napa Prisoner. NAPA, Nov. The confession of William Roe, alias William Moore, on trial for the murder of Mrs. Greenwood in IS9I, mas repeated on the witness-stand to-day by Sheriff Burr of Los Angeles.

Beyond the testimony of this otlicer and of Sheriff McKenzie the prosecution devoted its time to tracing the whereabouts of Roe in 1891 to prove that bis movements were aa he stated in the confession. The courtroom was again crowded to-day and the prisoner manifested more than Uauul interest in tbe proceedings, irequently con.enmg with his attorneys. The prosecution closed its case in the afternoon. Mrs. Weyse, who had testified last Friday, was called for further cross-exatuiuation when court opened this morning.

She said she did not expect any portion of the reward offered for the apprehension of the murderer of Mrs. Greenwood. Moore toid her that he had owned a faise beard, which cost $'2 50, but after the murder of Mrs. Green wood he had destroyed it. This testimony was important, inasmuch as Policeman Johnson of Los Angeles identified Roe as a man whom he arrested in August, 1892, for battery.

The fellow wore a false beard and gave his name as George Knight. Sheriff John Burr of Los Angeles County made a clear statement of what was told him by Moore relative to the murder. He said he met Moore for the tirst time on September 21 on the train from San Bernardino to Los Angeles. After arriving in Los Angeles Moore taken to the Sheriff's office and his voluntary statement in reference to the Greenwood murder was made iv substance as follows: I am Bill Moore, wanted in Napa County for the murder oi Mrs. Greenwood.

The day before tfefl murder 1 met Carl Schmidt and saw that he was a man that 1 couid handle. On the way up from Valk-jo Schmidt and stopped and dranlc ai different saloons and arrived at the Greenwood place about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. After a conversation with Mr. Greenwood we went into the house. About twenty minutes laier Mrs.

Greenwood returned home. 1 helped Mrs. Greenwood out of the buggy and into the house, while Schmidt took caro oi the horse. We then went into the house. Mrs.

Greenwood eofci plained of trouble In her head and gave her some medicine that I had. Greenwood and I then had a iuss and we both drew our pistols. I shot Mr. Greenwood in the left cheek, the bullet glancing and Willing Greenwood. I then went out to Schmidt and we got into the buggy and drove to We again returned to the Greenwood place, Schmiut going into the house and 1 remaining on the outside.

We then left the Greenwood place. I gave Schm.di $3 or $4 and told him to go his way aua I wouiu go miue. He started toward Sacramento and I toward Benicia. At Benicia, the day after the murder, I went into a saloon and treated a worklngman to a drink. Some one remarked, "There goes the Sheriff; I wonder what he wants here." 1 procured a pair of overalls lrom the bartender and a dinner-bucket from a man.

As I was leaving the saloon I met the Sheriff. I again entered the saloon and took a drink with the officer. I then went to San Francisco. This statement was made to Sheriff Burr while in Los Angeles and iv the train en route to Fresno. The Sheriff said that Moore was very much worried, and at times could not keep from crying.

He was much depressed in spirits, and said Schmidt was suffering punishment for a crime of which he was innocent. To pass away the time while on the train Moore recited selections from several authors Scott, Burns and Byron. Sheriff McKenzie went upon the stand, and his testimony corroborated that of Sheriff Burr, Moore haying toid the same story to Sher-ff McKenzie and Sheriff Burr. Moore was met at Fresno by Sheriff Mc- Kenzie, and from that place to Napa, conversation was held between the Sheriff and the defendant. According to the testimony of Sheriff McKenzie, Moore told the following story in connection with that given by Sheriff Burr: When Schmidt and got to the Greenwood place we saw tracks leading from the gate.

We saw Greenwood cutting borne wood. He would give us no food or money, ana I had bad blood for him. We took Greenwood into the house. When Mrs. Greenwood returned I helpfld her into the house.

As she complained of a headache, I gave her come medicine I had with me. After the crime was committed we went to the Germau House in Napa and inquired for Knox. Alter returning to the Greenwood house we went toward Cordelia. Schmidt started toward Benicia. I hid my overcoat and pistol under a biidge.

I then crossed the water on the boat Solano and went to the What Cheer House in San Francisco. From there 1 went to Bakersfield and the southern portion of the State. Mrs. Weyse was again recalled by the defense. She testified that two months subsequent to the time she heard the confession of William Moore she received a letter from Moore explanatory of the confession.

The testimony was objected to on i he part of the prosecution on the ground that the time of reviewing the testimony was too remote from the time the confession was made. The objection was sustained. Julius Desdier, who was proprietor the California Hotel, at the corner of California and Kearny street in 1891, testified that Moore had stopped at his place on January 27, 1891. This testimony was stricken out as toovague. Martin Kerr, who has had charge of the What Cheer House in San Francisco, said that Moore, under the name of William Smith, stopped with him on February 10, 1891.

C. L. a policeman of San Francisco, testified that in 1893 the defendant had in his possession a false beard. The te-timony was stricken out, as it was given too long after the commission of the murder. This closed the case for the prosecution.

The defense asked for further time, and court adjourned until to-morrow morning. SEAD BACK AMERICANISED The lHicardm nrae itaimmt and Him. Queue. TACOMA, Nov. Sefd Back, the one-time millionaire Chinese merchant of the Northwest, whose fortunes were unmade after the Government broke up the notorious joint smuggling ring three years ago, has become a mll-fledged American citizen, and Chinatown is much perturbed over it.

After having lived on the Pacific in San Francisco and this the greater part 'of his life, he has at last abandoned the garments of his race, and now wears the nobby raiment of a fashionable tailor. He has cut off his queue in deference to the wishes of his second wife, whom he recently married. Ha says bis conversion is due to election, and hereafter he is American for all time. till hiiM -giw Jl mU i i VaXlrjo Will Fete the Editor: VALLEJO. Nov.

Delegates to the State Alliance Discusses Topics of Interest to Producers.

BACRAMENTO, Nov. A1l day long delegates of the State Farmers' Alliance from all portions ot" California have been in session in this city, and they have transacted an immense amour of routine business. The chair was occupied by J. L. Gilbert of Fresno, State lecturer of the alliance, who acted as president.

Nearly all the morning session was devoted to listening to reports submitted by State Lecturer Gilbert, E. M. Wardail, chairman of the State executive committee, State Agent J. M. Moore and the secretary and treasurer.

The main subject of discussion during the afternoon session was the Alliance Mutual Life Insurance plan. (When the alliance attempts to take lire risks among tbe members great opposition is created by the reeular fire insurance companies. Tlie alliance believer, it has a right to take fire risks, thus keeping the money among the members and helping them along. Thomas V. Cator, attorney for the alliance, was in attendance and stated that while he was fully assured in his own mind that if the matter was brought before the Supreme Court a decision would be rendered in favor of tbe alliance, still there could be no doubt but that tbe alliance would have to contend with adverse legislation during the coming session in case tbe subject was brought before the Supreme bench, so it was concluded to make no further contest.

The alliance has a number of co-operative schemes on hand, all of which are under is. One in particular is the stabhshing of a tannery with a new system of caring bides; but while discussion on these questions have taken a wide range, nothing i.efinite has been decided upon. At the session to-morrow it will probably be decided to convert all sub-alliances into county alliances, to meet quarterly. As yet no committee has been appointed 10 draft resolutions, and possibly none will be selected. It is believed that the alliance will decide to indorse certain bills in favor of labor organizations now pending before Congress, notably one favoring the sailors' union.

UTAH BALLOTS CAST FOR NAUGHT Recent Election Declared by a County Attorney to Have Been Unconstitutional. SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. County Attorney Whittemore in an opinion made to the County Commissioners, sitting as a board of canvassers checking election returns, says the recent election in this State was unconstitutional. The constii tution provides that elections shall be by secret ballot, while the election law passed by the last Legislature made it imperative that the judges of election should number each ballot, the figures being placed on the corner of the Australian ballot, tbe corner then being turned over and sealed I with mucilage, not to be opened except in I case of a contest. This, the attorney says, is contrary to the provisions of the constitution, and as the judges all over the State followed the law he maces the ruling stated.

Should the case be carried to the courts and bis judgment be sustained it means that the three electors, the Congressman and the members of the next Legislature, together with every county and prec.net ofiicer in the State, would hold over until a new election law could be passed by tne old Legislature convened in special session, and also that no United States Senator would be chosen this winter. The election was so overwhelmingly Democratic, however, that it is not believed likely that any movement will be made for political reasons pure and slmp'e, because public sentiment here is decidedly against such procedure. On Trial at ban Jose. BAN JOSE, Nov. The trial of R.

B. Fox. on a charge of attempting to murder Deputy Constable Lane at Los Gatos several months ago, began in Jud.e Lorigan's court to-day. Fox, who had been arrested for beating his wife, was released from jail on condition that he would leave town. He returned after a few days, and was lying in wait with a pistol to shoot his wife when Deputy Constable Lane attempted to arrest him.

He resisted arrest and fired several shots at Lane, one of which went through the sleeve of his coat. Xot Anaelet Damage ftutt. LOS ANGELES, Nov. Tbe trial of a suit for $40,000 damages, brought by Julius Kolbig atalnst tbe Southern Pacific Railroad Company, was begun in the StiDenor Court to-day. Kolbig states that in 1889 Los Angeles River overflowed its banks, breakm? through a levee and damaging the old Nadeau winery property, of which he then had possession.

The cause of this overflow, the plaintiff alleges, was negligence in the construction oi a bridge across the river by the Southern Pacific, so that it proved an obstruction to the rush of waters. Warrant for Arrett. SAN JOBE, Nov. Deputy Constable Castro to-day swore to a complaint in Justice Dwyer's court charging J. W.

Walthall, the real estate and insurance man who fled from the city Friday evening, deserting a wife and farailv and leaving an indeotedness of about $12,000, with embezzling $150 of the funds of tue National Fire Insurance Company. Tne warrant has been placed in the hands of tne Sheriff, and an effort will be made to locate Walthall and bring him Hi I Meet BAKERSFIELD, Nov. Scott, acting secretary, has issued an invitation to all boards of trade and taxpayers of the State to be present at the convention of county Assessors in Sacramento on November 23. Suggestions will be thankfully received, and all will be granted a hearing. "Let all taxpayers interest themselves in this convention," says Mr.

Scott; "their interests are our Cycling Tour of America. SANTA CRUZ, Nov. G. M. Turner, banker, and P.

R. Petersen, merchant of Stoughton, members of the Lesgue of American Wheelmen, who are on a cycling tour of the American continent, arrived here last evening, after pedaling 3795 miles. They are enthusiastic upon the resources of California. They will, after a few days' salmon fishing, leave for San Diego via the coast route, and thence on through Mexico. Santa Barbara Charter Defeated.

SANTA BARBARA.CAL., Nov. election for a city charter here to-day passed off quietly, a small vote being polled. The charter was defeated. BOON FOR LINDA VISTA DISTRICT Wright Act Decision Acts as an Impetus for Improvements. Capital Ready for Investment in Irrigation System Schemes.

The Only Obstacle Is the Possibility of a Continuance of Litigation. SAN DIEGO, Nov. Tbe Linda Vista irrigation district baa taken on new life since the United States Supreme Court's decision sustaining tbe Wright law. Already telegrams have been received by the directors offering 10 negotiate for the bonda of tbe district, and Colonel J. P.

Jones, one of the directors, said this morning that there was capital now waiting and ready to take hold of the district bonds, build the dam and construct a water s-ystem aa fast as men and money couid do it. Colonel Jones said: lucre is but one obstacle in tbe way. Some of the large land-owners on whom the tax will fall rather heavily at tirst may not stop to think of the untold advantages to be derived from ths final settlement of this question by the highest tribunal in the land, and may wish, therefore, to try to tie up matters for a still longer period. This they can do if they want tdf and while tbe result would be against them inevitably in tbe long run, still some one may throw this into the courts. "However, I feel much better since I had a conversation with Mr.

Boal of the San Diego Land and Town Company, which owns 5000- or 6000 acres in Linda Vista. Mr. Boal cays, if we can secure capital to go ahead and work, that his company will walk up to tbe counter and pay its pro rata. As the Land and Town Company is the largest owner in the district, I am satisfied mat all the others will come around all right, lor we will have the money to begin worK very shortly. "The tirst thing to be done.

I believe, will be to begin work on the Famo dam. When that is completed to the height of 154 feet it will be capable of impounding from 3000 to 3500 inches of water, sufficient to last the district for many years to come. This dam is twenty-four miles by wagon road from here, and to build tbe dam to tbe height indicated will cost now about $240,000, although three years ago it would have cost more than $300,000." RIVERSIDE, Nov. The decision of the Supreme Court in the Wright irrigation law case, while bailed with delight by the bondholders of the irrigation districts in this coumy, means confiscation to the land owners, at least in the Alessandro and Perris districts. In these tbe bonded indebtedness amounts to such a figure that land-owners cannot pay the interest and the money to provide for a sinking fund and expenses of district.

More than this, the irrigation system is Btill incomplete and it is out of the question to raise more money to continue tbe work. The decision means that the interest and sinking fund must be provided for, and many land-owners will be compelled to give up their land along with years of labor and all improvements. The only hope for the people is that tbe courts may declare tbe bonds invalid because of irregularity of issue and the failure of the Bear Valley Company to keep its contracts with tbe people.
