A RIO GRANDE FLOOD. Mountains of Water Will Soon Pour Down the Valley. A PHILADELPHIA BANK SUSPENDS, Gov. Bulkeley’s Answer to the Quo Warranto Proceedings. THE POTTERS’ LOCKOUT ENDED | and “MOUNTAINS OF WATER.” ‘The Flood That Will Sweep Down the Rio Grande. 81. Lovrs, May 8.—A dispatch from Sante Fo, N. M., says: “Mountains of water” is the way the court officers who have just returned from Tierra Amoriallas put it in speak- ing of what they saw on the way. They say that half has not been told of the flood that must soon sweep down the Rio Grande. At Cumbress Hill, snow stands up beside the Denver and Rio Grande section house six feet deep, and thence it extends for miles, covering the whole as faras Toltec Gorge and ranging in from four to five feet. All streams are run: bank full. The Chama, Rio Brascos, W creek and tributary rivers are rushing streams. In places they say the whole mountain side a with water trickling out from — snow banks on and ding over face of the aon ‘osery direction, Thus far the weather has continued cool in that re- ion, hence the floods that ha do. to indicate what may follow. verde above Sen Marcial much land is under water and there isalso trouble in the Lajora Ex Paso, Tex., May 8.—There is og aveang' T, ble either for worse or for the fi and it is believed that the river will rise no higher. ‘The tlooded of the city known as the low lands or Mexican town sentsascene of complete destruction. None but Mexican laborers and Mexican street ers lived in the flooded district, and in many instances they had their entire posece- sions swept away. Hee THEY DECIDE TO SUSPEND, Doors of the Spring Garden National Bank of Philadelphia Closed. Pumaperaia, Pa, May 8.—Another of Philadelphia’s national banks closed its doors this morning by order of the controller of the currency. After doing business for an hour anda half this morning, the Spring Garden National Bank, at 12th and Spring Garden streets, closed its doors and posted the follow- ing notice upon them: “By order of the controller of the currency this bank is closed until further notice. ““(Bigned) . P. Daw, “National Bank Examiner.” The news of the closing of the bank spread rapidly and a large crowd soon collected, but admittance was denied to all. In answer toa request sent in to President Kennedy asking for some information as to the reason for the bank closing the following note was sent out: have this morning decided to place the bank in the hands of Mr. Drew, the national bank examiner. This ste} been forced upon us principally by the large withdrawal of deposite during. the financial string and the continued dullnessof business since. To meet thesedemands on our reserve it was found impossible to realize rapidly on the asset. We have been below in our reserve some wecks past and can seeno immediate pi of increasing it. We atill owe a balanceto the clearing house committee for outstanding loan certificates, payment of which is being pressed. ‘These facts, coupled with the disturbances of the past week, have caused increased uneasiness on the part some of our depositors, together with the Teakening of our eredit with the other benks. fe hope the suspension will be only temporary. ‘@igned) "Faasow W., fown\ oat ident.” GOV. BULKELEY ANSWERS. Another Step Taken in the Quo Warranto Proceedings in Connecticat. Naw Haves, Coxn., May 8.—Attorney Wm. C. Case of this city, acting for Gov. Morgan G. Bulkeley and Lieut. Gov. Samuel P. Merwin, filed the answer of those two gentlemen in an- swer to the quo warranto proceedings brought by Luzon B. Morris and Dr. Alsop in the su- perior court this morning. ‘As on the other occasions the court room was filled, but neither Gov. Bulkeley nor Mr. Merwin were present. In his answer Gov. Bulkeley claims that he and no other person is the true and lawful governor of Connecticut, and that the court should be bound to take judicial notice of that fact and dismiss the proceedi: ‘Then he says that the genera! assembly of Connecticut at the January session, 18%9,-by joint bal- lot elected him to be governor for the term of two years and until his successor should be duly qualified. Then ho goes or to state that he still acts as governor because no successor to him in the office of governor has yet been chosen and duly qualified to hold auch office, and no person can be vested with the office of governor of Connecticut until he has been duly declared governor by the general assembly of Connecticut and qualified accord- ingly. ‘fie answer goes on to state that Luzon B. Morris did not have a majority over all and that on account of the manifost mistakes in the face of tho returns it was impossible to tell who, if any one, had been legally chosen overnor. Concluding, Gov. Bulkeley denies fiat he usurpe the ofice and says. that he uses said office, itsrighteand dignities by warrantand authority of the law, and aske to be diamissed by the court of and from the things charged upon him in this information. With the exception of the change of name Gen. Merwin’s answer is exactly the same. The plainthis will have all reasonable time to make what reply to the answer they see fit. THE LOCKOUT ENDED. Potters Arrange Their Differ- ‘ences With Workmen, Tarxtox, N. J., May 8.—At on early hour this morning the manufacturing potters, who had been in session since 9 o'’clook last night, announced the end of the lockout which has existed at the seven sanitary ware potteries of Ne general potters’ association reac! standing. The operatives were represented by Michael Ken of the juital Jobn Kelly of Maddock and William Delaware. ‘The manufacturers’ association was repre- sented by s committee consisting of James Moses of the Mercer pottery, John A.

The Exploston of = Meteor Causes Conster- mation in Texas, Vioroata, Tax., May 6.—A large meteor passed over this section last evening, causing consid- erable consternation. It came from the north- not | east and was seen or heard all along the line of the railway from Rosenburg to Goliad, 8 distance of about 120 miles. About the time it reached this vicinity it exploded with a tre- mendous report, like heavy thunder or dis- charge of large cannon. As the sky was per- ed for a brief rge fectly cloudless people in time that tt was e boher nad and then it was attributed to an eat juake. Inquiry at the railway Telograph office here elicited ‘the tnformation that it wasa large meteor and had been seen at different places along the line. The brakeman on a freight train near Ira, a small station twelve miles west saw’ the meteor plainly and saw it rst. He says he saw one of the fragments, which ap to be about as large as his head, #1 not more than 100 yards from the rhilway tracks, The concussion of the explain vas so great that momentarily sto} © progress of tain, this fact being noted by'all on. the train.

Hilgard, the noted scientist, who was up toa few years ago superintendent TODAY IN THE POLICE COURT. Large Namber of Prisoners and What Was Done With Them. Eadie Adams, a twelve-year-old colored boy | whois very small for his age, was the first who of the United States coast and geodetic survey, | stood at the bar of Judge Kimball's justice to- died this morning at 8:80 o'clock at his resi- dence, 1709 Rhode Island avenue. Prof. Hilgard had been an invalid for a num- ber of years and had quite dropped out of pub- lie life, being = great sufferer from Bright's disease. Two years ago his life was despaired of, but his wonderful vitality sustained him. His death was caused by the dread malady from which he had been a sufferer, with the exhanstion upon’ illness. He leaves a wife, but his children before him. The funeral services will be held on Monday afternoon, and the interment will be made at Oak Hill. ‘BIS EVENTFUL CAREER. Prof. Hilgard was born in Zweibrucken, Be- varia, January 7, 1825, and came to this coun- try with his father at the age of ten years. He first settled in Belleville, Ill., where he obtained his education, studying under the direction of cinleninicing rm ins se ae eedtws puans e ia, and two rs later war invited by Superintendent Roche of the coast survey to become one of his as- sistante. He remained y,_ ris ing to the position of assistant, and ‘whe: the superintendent died in 1881 he | was ap- Pointed to the vacancy. He had charge of the standards of weight and measure and was a delegate to the international metric commission, which met in Paris in 1872, anda executive committee of the in- ternational bureau of weights and measures. In 1885 Prof. Hilgard resigned from the sur- vey as aresult of certain disagreements. ‘RIS SCIENTIFIC WORK. His scientific work was chiefly in connection with his practical labors, consisting of re- searches and the discussion of results in lesy and terrestrial physics and in the per- froting, ‘of methods. ‘and. instruments for the work. Some of the leading scientific investigations that have been made in this country of late years were under his supervis- ion. He was one of the original members of the National Academy of Sciences and for sev- eral years its home secretary. In 1874 he was made president of tne Americn Association for the Advancement of Science and was an hon- orary member of several other scientific bodies. His publications included a number of valu- abie scientific works and treatises. SRT a eS TWO DAYS IN DEATH’S VALLEY. Prof. Theodore 8. Palmer's Terrible Expe- Thence in the Dry and Sandy Desert.
