THE SAN FRAN ISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1896 WATER COVERS MANY RANCHES Washington Streams Again Overflowing Their Banks. Damage More Extensive Than During the Flood Three Weeks Ago. Roilroad Bridges Are Carried Away by Torrents and Traffic Is at a Standstill. TACOMA, Wasn., Dec. 4—The Chi- nook winds of the last fow days melted the snow on the mountains and the heavy rains wbich have fallen resulted to-day in all rivers in this vicinity rising higher than even during the floods o three weeks .ago. More damage was done this locality to-day tban during the entire other period. Early this afternoon the Northern FPa- cinc bridge over White River was washed away by the current, hurling a huge pile of driftwood against it. Although a new briage was on hand and the piers laid, it was impossible to restore railroad traffic from Tacoma to Seattle until the latter part of rext week. The village of Auburn is flooded, water standing a foot deep on the main street. The current formed many channels, and beside filling all the cellars, rushed be- tween buildings, carrying off shanties and lighter articles. The Steeck River also left its bed, and submerging the lowlands and meadows of all farms in the valley. J. C. Dieringer’s farm at Dieringer, four miles north of Puyallup, is compl covered by water, which in the pastures and meadows is up nearly to the top of | thefences. The floor of Dieringer’s im- mense stock barn was over a foot under water at 4 o’cleck. The current of Puyallup River is so strong ‘that it washed away the entire south approach of the Meriden-street bridge at ‘Puyallup, and is eating out a new channel | shrough the hop fields. At the present . rate at which it is changing its course by merning the bridge will hang over dry. All aiternoon farmers have been rushing to town for aid. From all over the valiey come reports of inestimable damage to crops aad lences. No lives are reported lost as yet. Here at Tacoma the Indian reservation gardens and orchards are covered by water two feet deep. Passengers on the overland train, which arrived three and a half hours late this .evening, say that Green River, this side of the scades, was never so high as now. A man who has just arrived says White River is two feet higher than the highest last flood and still rising. The atreets of Kent, he says, are flooded, and the river pounding down the valley, sweeping havoc before it. Ranches this side of Seattle bounded by the White, Black ana Cedar rivers are again flooded, ‘but it is inipossible to get any details irom there. Through trains are running nearly on time and no damage has yet occurred to telegraph lines. . TRAINS AGAIN DELAYED. High Water Sweeps Away Bridges Near Seattle. SEATTLE, Wasg., Dec. 4.—A Chinook wind and more or less sunshine for three days past melted the snow on the moun- tains, resulting in floods which washed out two big railroad bridges, again crip- pling the Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads. These lines were just re- covering from the Dakota blizzard which followed the disastrous floods 1n the Northwest several weeks ago. 1n the case of-the Northern Pacific its bridge over the White River, ten miles south of this city, was washed out at4 o’clock thisafternoon, and, with the Great Northern, its tem- porary bridge built over Skykomish, near Index, two weeks ago, was swept out some time last niga%. The Great Northern westbound over- land, due here from the East at 8 o’clock this' mornimg, failed to get through. Among the passengers on this train is L.

SANTA ROSA, Cavn,; Dec. 4—The So- noma Couanty Farmers’ Institute opened its session in Ridgway Hall to-day. The high order of the programme and the deep interest taken by the farmers . throughout the county in the sugar-beet . Question make the attendance quite large. ‘Professor A. P. Hayne was the first speaker, he having taken the place of Professor Hilgard, who was unavoidably absent. Professor Hayne first took occa- sion to explain the relatior. of the Unai- versity of California to the farmer, and stated that the names of 6000 farmers were on the mailing list. He then delivered a timely and interesting lecture on * Resist- ant Vines.”’ The speaker favored the rupesteris and riparia, and explained their different characteristics. The former vine, he said, would do well on a rocky, gravelly hill- side, as 1t did not require much moisture, but he advised pianting the riparia only in a deep, moist soil. The lecturer was asked a number of questions, all of which were answered to the satisfaction of the querist, and the audience learned many new facts on viticolture. Professor Hayne uséd charts in showing the proper meth- ods of pruning and grafting vincs, which materially aided his hearers to a proper understandin - of the theme. At the afternoon session the first busi- ness was to effect 2 permanent organiza- tior, aiter which Edward F. Adams of Wrights explained the object and aims of the institute. Wiliiam F. Gotward of Banta Rosa read a paper by Luther Bur- bank, the well-known floral and irait ex- perimenter, on ut-growing in Sonoma County.” The writer declared that this county was one of the best adapted to nut- growing he had visited, and he strougly urged the farmers to plant nut-bearing trees. - Marsden Manson of the State Bureau of | Highways was called upon and gavean « interesting explanation of the work of the burezu. Whien the time came for a dis- cussion of Commissioner Manson’s talk a little brceze arose when Assemblyman W. F. Price criticized the bureau, saying that he had voted against its creation two years ago and would do 80 again. He i not believe in the scheme. But there were defenders of the highway bureau among the audience, and short, forcible speeches were made by F. Butler, Colonel SON McDonald, E. D. Sweetser, E. F. Adams and G. N, Sanborn. A talk on the ““General Farmer and How to Make His Business Profitable” by Ed- ward F. Adams followed. The institute adjourned to meet to-night, when a mu- sica! and literary programme was ren- dered. The greatest interest centers in to-morrow’s session, when it is expected that Claus Spreckels will be present and talk on the culture of the sugar beet. ———— L NO DEMAND FOR HORSES. Thousands of Animals Running Wild on the Bunch-Grass Hilis of Eastern Washington. TACOMA, Wasn., Dec. 4. —Horses have become a “drug on the market” in this State. While electricity and bicycles have been increasing in popular favor for sev- eral years past great bands of horses hgve been roaming over the bunch-grass hills of Eastern Washington. Rapidly increas- ing in number their value has diminisked in like proportion,.intil many:- owners do not now consider it worth while to feed them through the winter. A few daysago an Eastern Washington stockman arrived here with two carloads of horses, which _he hoped to market on Puget Sound. He found the market glutted both here and in Sezattle ana final- Iy sold his horses to get money to pay the freight bill. They brought $3 to $15 each, the recripts just about covering the ex- pense of bringing them across the moun- tains. Stockmen say there are about 100,000 horses in Eastern Washington ranges and they are destroying feed that would support three times that number of cattle and sheep. The latter animals are being housed and fed during the stormy weather, while the horses are left on the ranges to starve unless they can paw through the snow to the surface. Uattle- men desire that the larger portion of the horses perish during the winter, that the bunch grass ratiges may be preserved for sheep and beef catde. They say that in that event the horses left will be worth as much as the unnumbered thousands now rosming at large. For several years past many owners have not taken the trouble to even round upand brand their horses, and in most instances no taxes are paid on them. ifforts have been made to find an Eastern market, but without result, except thata dozen or so carloads have been shipped to France to supply the limited aemand there for horsemeat. e S REINDEER FOR ALASKA. Explorer Bruce Furchases a Swift Schooner for Use in Fulfiliing His Contract. SEATTLE, Wask, Dec. 4—In. further- ance of his contract with the Federal Government to supply the Alaskan station with Siberian reindeer, Miner W. Bruce, the famous Alaskan explorer, has pur- chased at Gloucester, Mass,, the fast schooner Louis J. Kenny. He is to bring the vessel around Cape Horn, and her master upon this voyage will be Captain Saddler. At uloucester and New York she will take on a cargo of hardware for the Seattle Hardware Company of this citv, Itisexpected that she will arrive at this port by April 1, and about May 1 Bruce and Captain Saddler wiil take her north on an Arctic reindeer voyage. She is expected to do work similar to that for which the schooners Ella Johnson and Jessie were chartered last year. Owing to great ice gorges, however, the Ella Johne son accomplished but little. News of the purchase of the Kenny reached Seattle yesterday by private tele- gram. The sale wgs consummated mainly through theefforts of B. H. Colby of this city. She is reported” to be an' unusually speedy crait and was built at Essex, Mass,, in 1889, since which time she has been en- gaged in fishing out of Glcucester. The crew will be shipped from the Atlantic side. Captain Saddler, who has brought more than a score of vessels around the Horn, once commanded the Moonlight when that vessel was engaged 1n codfish- ing on the North Pacific. Bruce will return to Seaitle overland in time to join the Kenny on her voyage to the Arctic. He is reported as being en- gaged in making extensive preparations for the trip which he is doubly anxious should be successful owing to last year's failure in the matter of reindeer transpor- tation. revside.

Prominent in San Francisco During the City’s Early Growth. Was a Member of the Original Vigi- lance Committee in the Fifties. SAN DIEGO, Car.,, Dec. 4.—A prom- inent figure in the' early history of the State passed away-to-day in the person of Captain William Bell of this city. He was 75 years of age, and was born in Beaver County, Pa., on May 21, 1821. In 1852 he argonauted to San Francisco and became a ship-builder. His yard was at the cor- nerof Market and First streets, in what is now the heart of the metropolis. Thers Captain Bell built some of the most noted vessels of the coast in early days, among others the State of Sonora, which plied in the Gulf of California for years. Bell’s shipyard was a sight of San Fran- cisco in the fifties, and many exciting events occurred there. One or two hang- ings took place, and attempts were made to burn the yard in revenge for the prom- inent part taken by Captain Bell in rid- ding the city of hard characters. Captain Bell was a member of the original vigi- lance committee and helped to hang Corri and his gang. He was a man of great courage and uprightness. 3 Y During the twenty-five years of his resi- dence in San Francisco Captain Bell ac- quired a large fortune, owning a number of vessels in the coasting trade and ex- tending his business in all directions. One of his vessels carried the first brick for the prison at San Quentin. Captain Bell was the founder of Red- wood City, San Mateo County, construct- ing the first building there. His son, Robert J. Beil, was the first white child born at Redwood City. It was1n later years that zeverses over- took Captain Bell, leaving him at the time of his death a comparatively poor man. He is believed to have lost considerable money in building the marine ways at Eureka, the first in the State outside of San Francisco, and his marine ways on North Island in San Diego Bay failed to recoup him for his losses, The wife of Captain Bell died twelve years ago and, in 1888, he removed to this city, where he spent the remaining years of his life in the management of marine ways. His son lives in this city and the only other child, Mrs. J. M. Wood, is a resident of Oakland. The last iliness of Captain Bell was less than a week in duration, and in spiteof his advanced age he seemed to be in fairly good health until the sudden ailment that carried him off. The funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon, with the burial at Mount Hope, San Diego. Surveyor George B. Douglass, a Whole- Hearted Pioneer, Crosses ‘to the Beyond. MODESTO, Car., Dec. 4—County Sur- veyor George B. Douglass died here last night, aged 72. “Uncle George” was one of the first comers to this State. He was born in Tennessee. He first visited Cali- fornia with the Smithsonian Institution Commission in 1845, on a tour around the world. He landed at Monterey after he bad visited most of the civilized and semi- civilized courtries of the world. He then served the Union in the Mexican War, en- gaging in naval service. Later he entered Annapolis Academy, but the gold excite- ment drew him again to California in 1849. In 1861 he went East and entered the naval service in the war. After the war Douglass came to Cali- fornia and remained. He was elected Burveyor of Stanislaus County in 1869 and served almost continuously since. .He owned a farm near here. Douglass served as auctioneer at the time of tue laying out of the city of Merced, and sold the first lots from a flatcar at that place. He was one of the most jovial and honest and best-liked men in this valley. He was a member of the Society of Cali- fornia Pioneers. The deceased was the uncle of Sheriff Douglass, who was killed near Nevada City some months ago by an outlaw whom he had mortally wounded. The burial takes place ai Stockton toe morrow morning. . FAVUOR A TARIFF, Washington’s Congressmen-Elect Will Not Block Legislation. TACOMA, WasH, Dec. 4—Washing- ton’s Congressmen who were elected on the silver fusion ticket, in response to in- quiries from alocal lumber man, give their views on the tariff. W. C. Jones says: “I always advocated fair protection to all American industries, and applying the principle locally, I shall deem ita duty 10 employ every reasonable effort to secure adequate protection to all products of this State, the prices of which are injuriously affected by foreign competition. I shall, however, favor the proviso that whenever the producers of any protected commodity unite in any pool, trust, syndicate or other unlawful combination for the pur- pose of artificially limiting production or augmenting the price to the consumer, such commodity shall become entitled to admission without payment of duty, and the importer may employ any appropriate legal remedy to enforce such proviso.”” James Hamilton Lewis replies: ‘1l am a tariff Democrat and being for a tariff favor a special duty on lumber.”” LI Sudden Death at Tacoma.

Lz STOCKTON'S SENSATION. Manager Corcoran of the California Navi- gation Ccmpany Sued for a Divorce. STOCKTON, Cir, Dec. 4—Somewhat of a sensation was created in official cir- cles to-day by tbe filing of a complaint for divorce against Manacer H.J. Corcoran of the California Navigation and Improve- ment Company by his wife, Ella May Cor- coran. Itis not known what the alleged grounds irr separation are, but that there is something sensational in the charges seems probable, as the plaintiff’sattorneys took particular pains to tell the Deputy County Clerk to be sure and keep the pa- pers under lock and key, although the law compels the clerks to do that. Neither would Attorney Gould speak of the caseat ail, and Mr. Corcoran, when questioned, expressed surprise and asked, *‘What suit?”? Mr. Corcoran is one of the most promi- nent and energetic men in_this city, and as manager of the old line steamship company holds much responsibility. He 1s a member of the Commercial Associa- tion, and has been foremost in inducing many of the enterprises which have made Stockton a center of so much importance in the past year. There is not known to have been any trouble between Mr. Cor- coran and bis wife and family before this. Some of his most intimate friends said, however, alter the suit was commenced that he wasan avowed disciple of the theory of free love in regard to the social make-up, but the circumstances do not seem to warrant such an imputation. e Tucson Election Contest Decided. TUCSON, Agiz., Dec. 4.—Judge Bethune to-day, in the contested election case be- tween Bullock (D.) and Buehman (R.) for the office of Supervisor of Pima County, gave judgement for Bullock on a recount of ballots. The court held that there were sixty votes illevally rejected by the election board of Tucson "Precinct. This makes the board Democratic. Buehman was the only Republican who received a certificate of election in Pima County, and the de- cision against him to-day makes the en- tire ticket elected Democratic, something which has never before occurred in the history of the county. S A Double Murder at Juneaw. PORT TOWNSEND, WasH., Dec. 4.— The steamship Topeka, five days overdue from Alaska, arrived at midnight last night.

CHICAGO, Itn, Dec. 4.—Professor John Moore, a teacher in the Metropolitan Conservatory of Chicago, in the Isabella building, was frightfully crushed by a turntable of the Chicazo and Eastern Iilinois Railway Company yesterday. He died an hour laterin the County Hospital. The friends of the old man say his death has an ugly look. How he came to be in the pit under the turntable is a mystery to them, and they can only believe that heis a victim of foul play. An investiga- tion will be begun to ascertain .who is responsible - for his death. - Professor Moore was 40 years old. Rabbery of @ Woman Miser. SUPERIOR, Wis, Dec. 4.—It was re- ported at police headquarters last night that at the little town of New St. Lou: twenty miles south of Superior, Mrs, Dabny, an old woman who has always been ‘looked upon as'a miser, had been robbed of ali she possessed.

Will Appoint a Commission to Pass Upon His Mental Soundness. All Testimony Favorabls to the Con- demned Man Will B: G.ven Considsration. SACRAMENTO, Car., Dec. 4.—To-mor- row morning Governor Budd will sign a reprieve which will give to Salter D. Wor- den, the convicted Yolo train-wrecker, a new lease on life until the 4th of next June. The Governor’s reasons for this act are many, During the past month he has been assailed by a flood of petitions from all portions of the United States, many of them setting forth that Worden was mentally irresponsible, and had so been for years. Some of these petitions are signed by influential citizens of East- ern States, men whose names bear weight and who cou'd not be persuaded to attach their names to & document of this nature unle ss they were assured beyond doubt that within the frontispiece of Salter D, Worden the wheels were working cross- wise. Even Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, has pleaded for the life of the man who stands convicted of hav- ing removed a rail and wrecked a train during the great railroad strike, hurling into eternity four men who were in the employ of the United States Government as protectors ol its frontiers. Governor Budd is just now very busy, and he finds it impossible to set aside the time to make a thorough investigation into the rights and wrongs of the Worden case. Until he can do so Worden will languish a close prisoner within the gran- ite wall of the Folsom penitentiary. Evidence favorable to Worden will re- | ceive at the hands of the Governor a full | and searching investigation, and if the commission which he will appoint de- cides that Worden is mentally irrespon- sible a commutation will be issued reduc- ing the death sentence to life imprison- ment. On the other hand, if it be proved that Worden is in full possession of his }:nentnl facualities, he will die on the gal- ows. SACRAMENTO, Car., Dec. 4.—Certifi- cates of election were issued to-day from the Governor’s office and bearing his of- | ficial signature to Congressman John A. | Bnrhanfi from the First Cungreasmnnll!
