REDDING, July 20.—A serious accident occurred in the Bully Hill mine at Dela- | mar last evening shortly after the night force of miners had gone to work. The premature explosion of a large blast of glant powder resulted in the possible fatal injury of Frederick Arthur and Arthur Oliver, who were working to- Zether in the same shift. The foreman of the gang had placed a large charge of glant powder in a hole and the miners were seeking the usual places of safety when for some unaccountable reason the blast went off before the end of the fuse burned down.

TWO COMPANIES ~ WILL BE MERGED Plan for the Reorganiza- tion of the Asphalt Combine. PHILADELPHIA, July 20.—The plan of reorganization of the Asphalt Company | of America and the National Asphalt Company, which are in the hands of re- ceivers, was made public to-day. It pr vides that the property of the companies shall be acquired by a new corporation, to have a capital of $31,000,000. The ncw company is to be organized under the laws of New Jersey or of such other State as may be decided upon by coun- sel. The company may issue capital stock as follows: Five per cent preferred stock, cumulative after the expiration of two years from the purchase of the property and the commencement of business by the new company, entitled to no dividends in excess of 5 per cent, but to be pre- ferred in liquidation to the amount of its | par value, together with all accumulated and unpaid dividends to an amount not exceeding $14,000,000; common stock not exceeding $17,000,000. The right is to be secured to holders of preferred stock by the charter of the new company, supplemented by a proper deed of trust, to exchange their preferred stock for common stock at the rate of in common stock for each $100 of pre- rred stock surrendered. Of the common stock an amount equal to one-half the preferred stock to be issued, and not cx- ceeding $7,000,000, will be set’ aside in the bands of a trustee or depository to bs used only for the conversion of preferred stock into common stock. The common stock so held, under its exchange for pre- ferred stock in jthe course of such con- version, is to draw no dividends and ex- | ercise no voting rights. Accompanying the reorganization plun were the separate reports of two com- mittees to their respective security hold- ers. The National committee quoted frcm a letter from Receivers Henry Tatnall and John W. Mackay, in which they say the new company should have an annual income of approximately $700,000 a year.

They robbed a cabin | of provisions and aleo took a saddle. i WASHINGTON, July 20.—The condition of Hilary A, Herbert, formerly Secretary of the Navy, and to-day he was re- covery, LONDON FOLLOWS NEW YORK'S LEAD Railroad Shares Rise Without Apparent Reason. LONDON, July 20.—With the except.on of renewed activity in American secu ties, last week was unusually quiet :&1 the Stock Exchange. The resignation of the Premiership by Lord Salisbury had no effect upon the market, which throughout remained sluggish, South Af- ricans being especlally weak. Various views are expressed by financlal critics regarding the rise here in American rail* road shares, but it is generally believed that London is only blindly following New York’s lead without much intelli- gence. Satisfaction, however, is univer- sally voiced regarding the American crop ottlook. The money market during the week has been easy owing to considerable Govern« ment disbursements. The harvest and holiday requirements, in addition to the | demands of Parls, are likely to absord any gold reaching the open market, but as the Government will be a borrower for some time to come the prospect for August is a steady money market. BERLIN, July 20.—The only securities showing any activity on the Boerse last week were domestic 3 per cents and some foreign rentes. The former were bought in considerable amounts for London and Paris account, but other denominations of domestic_securities were quite neglected. Among foreign rentes Russians enjoyed the greatest favor, advancing under heavy transactions, while Spanish 4s also were actively traded in. Iron shares im- proved during the first half of the weck upon American and English ifron market reports. Shares of the Hamburg-Ameri- can Steam Packet Company and the North German Lloyd line were weak. General industrials were stagnant, but quotations were better maintained. Money was firm. * Martinez Republican Convention. MARTINEZ, July 20.—The Republican County Central Committee met here yes- terday and decided to hold a convention at Point Richmond August 16 for the pur- pose of selecting delegates to the Repub- lican State Conwention.

Cava- naugh, a tailor, was drowned in the Fea- ther River this afternoon. Deceased was a native of San Francisco and arrived in this city last evening from Woodland. He started to swim the river, but sank fm- medlately upon entering the stream. The body was recovered. corn a fortnight ago, estimated to yleld 75 to 100 bushels to the acre. Previous estimates of the loss have been greatly increased by the prospective yield being found to have been much greater than ever before, experts telling of many farms that were good for 100 bushels to the acre. The loss is total. If water stays forty-eight hours even four inches under the surface it kills corn and every stalk wet by waves perishes from rotting roots. Much of that corn back from the channel looks to the casual observer as if it-would recover when the flood sub- sides, but a month will see it all brown and sear. The height of the flood is indicated by an incident at La Grange. The steam- boat warehouse was well back from the river bank and high. A ‘strong current and a gale caused the %Ilot to make an imperfect landing and the cornice of the roof of the warehouse was torn off by the forward guards of the Silver Cres- cent. _ ‘The river is rising all the time, its rec- ord being six inches during the day in the immense area of 700 square miles, and the worst to come by the extension of tne flooded area by the water passing levees it is now topping. LEVEES ARE IN DANGER. The chief flood thus far is on the Mis- souri side from Keokuk to Louisiana, with Canton and West Quincy as centers of the country most damaged. On the Illi- nois side there are three continuous levees for forty miles from Warsaw to Quincy above the water and thus far safe, but the farmers are afraid of crevasses from muskrat hills and every rod of the re- doubt is watched day and night. The bredking of these levees would flood 150 square miles in Illinois and destroy $2,000,- 000 or $3,000,000 worth of corn. The levees below Quincy are in the same situation, except that they are lower and less firm. Opposite Quincy, in Missouri, is still an- other center of special devastation that is appalling. North twelve miles to La Grange and south to Holton large prai- ries are well under water, reaching from the Illinois bluffs to the Missouri bluffs, at least ten miles. Levees hastily thrown around farms have disappeared in a flerce current rushing from above through the draw of the Burlington route bridge, cac- rying everything before it. TLone Tree prairfe, ten miles square, is deserted, the population”having fled to Quincy and the bluffs on the Missouri side, from which they watch the complete destruction. Fa- bius River, fifteen miles above Hannibal, is high and supplies a route for the Mis- sissippi_to flank and reverse the levees, as the Fox River does forty miles up the Mississippl. This flanking movement meakes even the highest Missouri levees ineffective. ! Around La Motté, Saverton, Busch sta- tion, Clemens and Ashburn, north of Han. nibal, there was more wheat than at other places and all in the shock is washed away. The chief crop there is corn, however, and there is the same ruin as at other places. In the vicinity of Quincy and Hannfbal there is unnecessary loss on account of the peculiar conditions of the flood. When a smaller flood began to subside warn- ings from the Keokuk Weather Bureau observer were received and unheeded, it not being understood that the weather wan referred to a fresh rise in the wat- N ers. The crest of the Mississippi rise prob- ably will pass here to-morrow. Great damage has already been done, but the Worst is probably over. < SERIES OF CLOUDBURSTS. Four Persons Are Killed Near Bing- hamton, N. Y. BINGHAMTON, N. Y., July 2.—The heavy rains prevailing in this section for the past few days reached a climax last night when three separate cloudbursts oc- curred within the limits of Broome Coun- ty and several in the surrounding ter- ritory to the northward, breaking mill dams, washing out railroad tracks and highway bridges and doing other dam- age, besides delaying tralns. Four persons | PROPHECY OF THE WEDDING BOUQUET IS NOW FULFILLED Incident at a Recent Marriage Eeast Is Recalled by the Breckinridge-Murphy Nuptials. oS E have all been concerning ourselves a great deal over the romantic marriage of Adelaide Murphy and John C. Breckinridge. It may be none of our affair, but we always take 1 sort of proprietary interest wherever Cupid is concerned. There is something refreshing about a genuine love affair and when two young people are con- vinced that they cannot live without each other we feel impelled to agree with them. No one believing in signs should be sur- prised, for it will be remembered that it was pretty Addie Murphy who caught the bride’s bouquet at the Preston-Drown wedding not long ago. When the bride left the supper-room she threw he: shower bouquet to the feminine portion of the bridal party and amid the scram- bling the little maid of honor caught it. The guests had much merriment over the incident and predicted her the next bride. She has fulfilled the prophecy. It is un- fortunate that the new Mrs. Breckinridge did not have her parents’ consent, as It leaves a cloud over their happiness from the start. 1t is easy for us to say parents should be obeyed. To be sure they have the right, but young blood is not always accompanied with reason, and impulsive natures like the one in point'take their love affairs very much to heart and over- coming them often costs years of regret, if not pain. Mrs, Breckinridge preferred taking her chances on remorse. The fair little bride folibwed the dic- tates of her heart, intuitions £nd judg- ment, although her parents are every bit as dear to her. T g Soclety has indulged in all sorts of strange guesses as to why Mrs. Walter Martin is not going to Newport for the superb Martin-Oelrichs wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Martin had planned to return from Europe in time to witness the nuptials and their early arrival here was explained on the ground of business. It was stated, however, that they might return East for the affair. They did not go and more guesses arose, Friends are learn- ing one by one that Mrs. Martin has stronger interests here to look after, as she is said to be making elaborate prep- arations for the arrival of a_young visitor whose name will also be Martin. It is likewise Intimated that Mrs. Klood is looking, forward to a similar event. y iy No one can go into the Yosemite this season_without hearing about the good times Dick Hotaling and his Bohemian Club friends had on their recent trip. The others of the party were Jack Wilson, Burbank Somers, Charlie Dickmann and Vale Blackwell. Every driver and gulde has something to say about the party. No sooner would one tell a story than an- other would say: “That reminds me,” and start in with another, after which some one else would start a song. The resi- dents of the valley cannot get over the surprise they felt when it was given out that these jolly good fellows would hold services in_the church on Sunday. They did so, and Dick Hotaling preached a rat- tling good sermon to a good audience. His friends at once divided themselves into two classes—those who believe he practices what he preaches and those who insist he doesn’t need to. g ity C. C.

White, a negro miner employed by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company in 1iis mines at Chandler, was fatally shot by Ed Bakewell, a guard, during a riot late last night. About midnight a mob of ne- groes gathered and compelled Bakewell to flee for his life into the woods, where he was overtaken and besieged. He was rescued this morning. Yesterday was pay day at the mines, and following the usual custom the credit due at the company store was deducted. This had infuriated some of the negrous, became intoxicated, brandishing weapons and terrorizing the guards. White and his companions came upon Bakewell and Devine, and White drew his gun upon Bakewell. The lalter or- dered him to lower it, and meeting a ce- the ball entering the fusal shot him. ach. e pegroes claimed that Bakewell had shot White in the back. Gathering a mob they chased Bakewecll out of the town. Sheriff Simon of Canyon City arrived this morning and found Bakewell besleged on a hill by the negroes.

A dam in Thatchers brook gave way and the rush of water carried away sidewalks, fruit trees and small outhouses. Bridges were badly damaged and several houses were moved from their foundation. The Erie tracks were washed out. SPRINGVALE, N. Y., July 20.—Many bridges were swept away and 100 feet of the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg tracks was washed out® by the flood to- day.

Some go so far as to say that Littlefleld is already being groomed by the administration leaders with this object in view.

Brother of Princess Chimay Is Granted a Decree in Chicago. T Special Dispatch to The Call. ’ CHICAGO, July 20.—Another chapter in the history of the Ward family was writ- ten yesterday when Eber S. Ward, the New York milionaire and brother of | Princess Chimay, obtained a divorce in Chicago from Victorine Amelia Herault Ward. Mrs. Ward, who had previously sued her husband for divorce, made no de- fense, and the case was allowed to go by default. The charge against Mrs. Ward was desertion. It is believed this charge was agreed upon and the case was sec- tled quietly in Chicago-to avoid publicity. Behind the proceedings in court is a story that rivals in its features the af= fair of the complainant’s sister, the Prine- ess Chimay, now Mme. Rigo. Eber S. ‘Ward is alieged to have possessed all the | eccentricfties that have kept the name ot the Ward family before the public for twenty years. The cause of the estrange- ment between wife and husband is alleg- ed by Mrs. Ward to have been his infat- uation for her pretty daughter, Blanche Herault. In the case which Mrs. Ward brought against her husband in the courts of New York she introduced as evidence a letter in which her husband indicated his desire to leave her for her daughter, “whose morals,” he wrote, “are about the same as. mine.” Eber S. Ward is 34 years old. He is owner of a palace located at Cannes, and has handsome residences in Detroit and New York. His fortune is estimated at from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000.
