LIGHTSHI ADRIET N A HURRICANE Number 67 Barely Es- capes Disaster Off Astoria. ANCHOR LINE SNAPS IN TWAIN. The Vessel Saved by Virtues of Her Propelling Power. PUTS TO SEA UNTIL THE GALE ABATES. Her Cap‘aln Reports the Storm the Most Severe He Ever En- countered. Spectal Dispatch to THE CALL. ASTORIA, Nov. 19.—The beach wouald | have been the resting place of lightship No. 7 had she not been equipped with m propelling power. During the tre- mendous gale Wednesday morning she was sighted by the steamer State of Cali- fornia at 6 o’clock. At the big steel cable on her mushroom anchor snapped in two and the lightship was adrift in the storm and headed for the beach, ptain Hastooff immediately ordered his signal lights extinguished and put up sailing lights, and 1in less than twenty minutes be had tbe engines running and the propeller working. He manazed to get about and put to sea. This accounts te of California not being ab'e 1o find her again. The lightship went as far as Grays Harbor ana turned back at once to the Columbia Kiver when the gale ated, arriving off the mouth of the river early this morning. Toen she started to steam into the harbor. Captain Richardson of the United tes steamship Columbine had started dov the river early this mornnig to put suplies cn board the when, much to his surprise, be met her. The captain of the lightship zeported that the recent gale or hurricane was one of the most severe Le had ever encountered The experience of No. 67 in the last five days has proved that she is a magnificent sea boat, and also that lightships fitted with steam power are daoubly effective. Captain Green of the Celifornia, which reached this port vesterday, suid: “Or Wednesday at 2 r. u, lightship No. 67, at anchor fourteen miesoff the moutn o the Jolumbia River, was abreast.

Nov. 19.—The valleys of Western Washington are flooded by a dozen overflowing rivers. The Wenatchee is higher than ever known before, having risen seven fret in six hours. The Cow- litz, Skagit and Snohomish have nearly reached the high-water mark established by tne disastrous floods of a year ago, but cooler weather to-day will prevent their rising much higher. The Northern Pacific anda Great North- ern raiiroeds and their branch lines have tracks under water. Traftic is suspended TACOMA, | o1 both main lines in Western Washing- ton. Railroad and country bridges have been washed out, miles of fences swept away and some cattle have been drowned. Farmers along the Cowlitz, Snohomich, Skagit and Skykomish rivers are en- deavoring to escape from the rushing tor- rents that cover their farms by the use of flitboats, scows and improvised rafts. Teiegraph and telephone lines have been prostrated, but are being rapidly repaired to-day. Six jnches of rain since Tuesday morn- ing, together with a chinook wind which ha« melied much new-fallen snow in the mountains, are causes of the inundation. It came so qu ckiy that there was no time for prepiration. The rivers now over- flowing include the Cowlitz, Chehal Puyatlup, White, Stuck, Snohiomish, Sk komish, Stliaguamish, Sultan, Skag and Nooksack. The White River has washed out Northern Paciiic iine traftic between here and E lensburg. The over- land train due to-day will arrive to- morrow, coming around from Spokane by the Oregon Railway and Navigation line and Poriand. To-day’s eastbound train was started out this evening by that roate. Near Winlock yesterday the Portland branch of the Northern Pacific was cov- ered by a 12-foot landslide. A smali | army of men bas removed it and that iine is now open. The Northern Pacific has ! suspended its service on the Orting and South Bend branches because of washed- out bridges aud tracks, caused by the Puyallup River in the first instance and Chehalis River and Rock Creek in the second. The Great Northern bas fared even worse. Between Sultan and Index in the Ca cide Mountains its track is practically ail washes away. The telegraph line is down and the condition of the track east of there is still a matter of conjecture. The S omis : and Stillaguamisn rivers are reporied to-night to be higher than ever known before. Every business house in Sultan has from one to four feet of water over the floor. Water eight feet deep is rushing through the tunnel in thecanyon on Ever- ett and Monte Cristo Railroad, which uas suspended traffic. From Lowell it is re- ported that the wharf of the paper mill is submerged and thattbe S1ohomish is still rising. A dispatch from Everett states that 1armers in the Snohomish an | Stilta- guamish valleys are driving their stock to the uplands.

Captain and Crew of the Wrecked Steamer Reach Narshfield. MARSHFIELD, Or, Nov. 19, — The Umpqua lighthouse wagon airived at Em- pire City about 3 o’clock this aiternoon, bringing Captain W. F. Daniels and the crew of the wrecked steamer Truckee, who were rescued by the life-saving crew at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Captain Daniels reports that when about twelve hours from Tillamook a leak was dis- covered, and when off the Umpqua River he became convinced that to suve tie lives of his passenzers and crew he would have 1o attempt to take his vessel in over the Umpqua bar. southwest gale and the cea running moun- tain high. He could not keep a stitch of canvas up, and consequently his vessel was thrown upon the north spit. The Truckee has forced her way over the spit, and now lies inside. She will be a total loss, but Captain Daniels thinks that her machinery may be sived. There were eight passengers aboard, one gentle- man, two ludies and five chiliren under tive years of age R-cent Army Orders.

They Assailed Ex-Judge Ger- ald, Who Returned a Deadly Fire. Sensatlonal Affray at Waco, Texas, | the Result of a Newspaper Con:roversy. Special Dispateh 10 THE CALL. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 19.—A special to the Re- | public from Waco, Tex., savs: J. W. lar- ris, editor of the Times- Herald, « morning paper, and W. A. Harris, his brother, on ex-Judge G. B. Gerald, a prominent citizen, foug .ta duel death on the street to-night at 5 o’clock. W. A. Harris was shot dead, J. W. Harris wounded fatally, his body being para- lyzed, and Geraid was shot in the sideand may die. The trouble was the outcome of the mobbing of W. C. Brann, publisher of the Iconoclast. (Grerald was an ex-County | Judge and one of Waco’s most prominent citizens. He had written a most bitter criticism on Baylor University, with refer- | ence to the recent mobbing of W. C. Brann, and had filed it with Harris for publica- tion. Afierward he asked to have his manuscript returned and became incensed at the editor's delay in complyinc. Bad feeling resulted, and when Judge Gerald was crossing the street at the cor- ner of Fourth and Austin streets at 5 o’clock, Editor Harris came out of a drug- store and opened fire on him. Gerald im- mediately drew his revolver and returned he fire. Hearing the shooting, W. A. Harris came upon the scene and took a hand in the fu-illade, shooting Gerald from benind. Gerald pursued bim into the drugstore, shooting as heran. Harris feil to the floor with the words, “Yon shot me in the back.” Gerald emptizd the re- maining chargesin his weapon into the prostrate form of his victim, killing him on the spot. Gerald then left the scene. A little colored boy who stood near was shot in the leg by a stray bullet. Editor Harris was carried into the drugstere by friends. His wife and daughter were noti- fied and were soon at his side. The scene was pitiful. The wife and daughter were weeping, while the husband and fatber lay prostrate, unable to move a muscle of his body or speak.
