MEMPHIS, March 17.—The flood situa- tion in the portion of the Mississippl Val- | ley continguous to Memphis is extremely critical to-night and reports of loss of life | are at hand. It was thought at first that | the break in the levee last night at Holy- | bush, near Trice’s Landing, would help matters by rejieving the pressure of the water and causing a fall at this point. morning lying on the street a block from his home in the most intense pain. He says he crawled a block after being struck. He was removed to the Recsiv- ing Hospital, where the shattered bone | was set. The injured man is a German, 5l years of age and physically able to take care of himself. He admits having visited sev- eral saloons, but says he was in posses- sion of all his facultles when he was dealt a stunning blow from the rear. Robbery might have been the motive of the assault, as the shoemaker did not have any money on his person when found. CRUDE WORK ALLEGED IN A PETROLEUM DEAL Demurrer Ar;ua}i in the Case of Henry Bulwer Against the Union Consolidated. Instead of this the break has complicated | conditions by flooding a vast area in Ar- | kansas across the Mississippi from Mem- | phis and to-night a veritable sea exists in the St. Francis and Mississippi River | basins, extending from one basin to the | other, a distance of many miles. From | this territery a call for help has gone up from persons who have been sur- rounded in their homes and on high parts of the country, but thus far it has been an impossibility to send them assistance. A few floating bodies have been found at various points by the rescuing boats, | but the number has not yet been alarm- | ing. | The St. Louis and San Francisco Rail- road runs through the St. Francis coun- | try, but that company to-day annulled all trains, its tracks being unuer water near Marion, Ark.

Bulwer further alleges that the Union Ccmpany does not own any property or franchises and that 4000 fictitious shares o capital stock were added to it. He asks hat the defendants be enjoined from do- ing any business until the settlement of the suit and that Easton, Eldridge & Co. be compelled to pay to the Yukon and Rex companies all moneys received on ac- count of sales from the commencement of their operations up to the time of the be- ginning of the suit. He asks further that the consolidation be declared illegal and vold and that the defendants be ordered to return to Bul- | wer 5000 shares of the Yukon and 2000 shares of the Rex companies, which they had exchanged for the alleged fictitious stock of the Union. He prays further for the appointment of a receiver and an ac- counting. e e—— ‘WO00ODS HELD ON CHARGE OF ASSAULT TO ROB One of the Witnesses Ordered Into Custody for Contempt of Court. Joseph Woods was held to answer be- fore the Superfor Court by Police Judge Mogan yesterday on a charge of assault to rob, in $4000 bonds. In the early morn- ing of February 156 Woods entered the restaurant at Taylor street and de- manded money from Peter Stepovich, the Woods seized a bottle and struck Stepovich repeatedly on 531 {the head with it, but was frightened off by Stepovich's cries for help. Ruth Miller, one of the witnesses, had testified that Woods had said shortly be- fore the attack on Stepovich that he wanted to get a revolver because he would have money or Kill somebody. She gaid her information had come from Frank Galeynski, Company 80, Coast Ar- tillery. Galcynski was called yesterday morning, but denied at first making any such statement. When confronted with the woman he acknowledged making the statement and _the Judge ordered him in- to custody for contempt of court. Woods is a former soldier and bore a good character while in the army. His s a hotel-keeper in Brooklyn, N. uncle is a captain of police in New York. He declares he had no in- tention of robbing Stepovich and struck ! him with the bottle because they had some words. B — STAGE OWNER ENJOINED FROM SELLING PROPERTY Forfeits Bond to the Government and Nowy the Surety Company Sues Him. An injunction, pending a suit, was is- sued yesterday by United States Circuit Judge Morrow restraining George D. All- | wan from selling certain real estate in from attachment by the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, which has sued him for the amount of his bond, $4500, declared by the Government to have been forefited. Allman is the owner of several stage lines and it is alleged in the complaint that he entered into a contract with the United States to carry the mails from Cloverdale in Sonoma County to EIK in Mendocino County for four years at a compensation of $209 per annum. He gave the Government a bond for $4500, with the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company as surety. A few months later Allman abandoned his contract and the Government was obliged to enter into a new contract with another person and pay $1105 more than the price bid by All- m: Hence Allman’s bond was forfelted 2nd the surety company has sued Allman to recover the amount of the bond. e Only One Day More.

There is no means of reaching them except by mak- ing a break in the levee near Memphis, | and this may be done to-morrow if con- | ditions show no improvement. Sheriff Williamson of Crittendon Coun- ty, in which Marion is situated, has gone 1o the village in a skiff, and will report to-night to President Killough of the St. Francis levee board the true conditions | there. It is estimated that several hun- | dred persons are surrounded by the water | S | | | | { | the amount of livestock lost is heavy. mall skiffs cannot begin to rescue the | citizens and it seems that it will be im-| perative to send a steamboat to their aid. The negroes at Marion have given way | to fright and almost a panic exists. They | have congregated at the railroad station and in the cabins in the village and refuse to work. A relief train, the last that | reached the village, arrived early ! morning with 5000 sacks to be used in | damming back the water, but labor can- | not be secured to unload the train. The | tracks of the Iron Mountain and Choctaw | railroads are still open. There seems to indication that all predictions of | the stage at this point will be surpassed, | as the river is rising steadily to-night. The weak points in the levees reported | 1ast night, other than at the break, are | still in a critical condition and further | breaks may occur. Forces of men are | working night and day at these points and | the situation has resolved itself into a | race between the workers and the water. In Memphis the situation s growing worse each hour and the water is spread- | ing to sections other than those which were flooded yesterday. The water pump- | ing plant is endangered and a few inches | more rise in the river must cause it to | suspend. At a late hour to-night washouts were reported on the Iron Mountain, the Choc- taw route and the Frisco line a few miles | west of Bridge Junction, Ark., and it is | stated that all trafic with Memphis to the west will be suspended thereby. Two washouts are reported on the Frisco, the first about four miles west of Bridge Junction and the second at Marion, Ark. | Two washouts are reported on each of the other lines about. the same distance from Memphis as those on the Frisco. |1t is feared that four trains, two on the | Frisco and two en the Choctaw, which left Memphis to-night, are tied up be- ween the points where the tracks have | Leen carried away. | CARIBBEAN SQUADRON" [ SAILS FOR HONDURAS | Vice Consul Wilt Cables State De- | partment That Situation at Ceiba Is Grave. WASHINGTON, March 17.—The Navy Department was advised to-day that the | Caribbean squadron had sailed from San | Juan for Puerto Cortez, Honduras, in pur- suance of the orders of the department. The dispatch of the squadron was in re- sponse to the request of Consul Wilt at Ceiba;, who reported that the revolution- ists had captured Ceiba and that it would be advisable to send a warship to protect Amerlcan interest . This cablegram was supplemented by 2 | cablegram recelved to-day at the State | Department from Vice Consul Wilt, un- der date of Ceiba, Honduras, March 8. b He says that in the fighting which result- ed in the defeat of the Government gar- rison at Ceiba two officers and three cn- listed men of the Government forces were ! killed.

REPORTED ENGAGEMENT ' OF ASTOR'S DAUGHTER Cablegram From Vienna Announces That She Is to Marry the Rou- manian Foreign Minister. VIENNA, March 17.—A dispatch from Roumania, published in Die Zeitung says that Miss Astor, daughter of Willlam Waldorf Astor, is engaged to marry Jonel Bratiano, the Roumanian Foreign Minister. Miss Astor is now v iting the Roumanian Crown Princess’ family. Bratiano has a fascinating per- sonality. He i€ not a wealthy man and is a son of the late Jean Bratiano, the dis- tinguished statesman, whose monument will shortly be unveiled at Bucharest. LONDON, March 17.—Mr. Astor is not in town and nobody connected with him can confirm the reported engagement of Miss Astor.

Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, March 17.—One of the main questions United States Commission- er Alexander must determine in the case | of Whitaker Wright is whether, in view of the common law principle that a man cannot have his liberty twice placed in jeopardy for the same alleged offense, the prisoner has not already been put on trial by the British Government and de- clared gulltless of any intent to defraud. By the Attorney General it was declared after a Parliamentary investigation that Wright's hands were clean, and now Wright's counsel will argue that the Gov- ernment cannot go behind its own deci- sion and with justice ask for Wright's extradition. On the other hand, it will be maintained by Charles Fox, counsel for Sir Percy Sanderson, the British Consul General, that a Parliamentary investigation is not final in its findings, and that, in view of the fact that a warrant has been issued by order of the High Court of Justice for Wright's arrest, the case is for the | first time actually opened. \ Sir Percy Sanderson received to-day a dispatch on this point from his Govern- ment, making clear that the present ac- tion was instituted by the senior o{:clnl liquidator of the Globe Company on an order issued by the High Court of Jus- tice and that it is the first legal proceed- |ing instituted against Wright because of bis connection with thé company. Appeals to the United States Circuit Court and the United States Supreme Court cannot be finished in less than four months and as: the Superior Court takes an adjournment for the summer early tober it is possible the final decision will not be rendered until that time. ¥ Meanwhile Wright will have to spend Lis time in the Ludlow-street jail, unless. hLe is released on a writ of certiorari In | habeas corpus proceedings and the writ is upheld. Mr. Untermeyer, counsel for Whitaker ‘Wright, in an interview to-day said; 1 have naturally talked a great deal with Mr. Wright and I can say_that he feels much more keenly the slurs chst upon his. niece than he does his own position. He would return to England at once If the British would be willing to have this The absurdity of this charge fs self-evident. It is made by a man who became disgruntled on mccount of the losses he sustained in the failure of the Lon- don and Globe Company. Mr. Wright tells me this warrant was sgorn | Government extradition dismigsed. out by a broker named Lower, who lost money. The charge against Mr. Wright is circulating false reports. The English Gov- ernment, after threshing this thing out befora all kinds of; tribunals, decided it could find no criminal liability against the directors, of whom Mr. Wright was one. DECISION THE SAME DESPITE HIGHER COURT San Diego Judge, Although Twice Reversed, Is of First Opin- jon Still. SAN DIEGO, March 17.—Though Judge Torrance has been twile reversed in his decision in the now celebrated Kipp cases he again decided them in favor of the original landowners and set aside the judgments obtained years ago by tax- title buyers. They are called the Kipp cases because the tax certificates were bought by an attorney named Kipp for Eastern spect- lators. In time he applied for deeds to the lands represented in the certificates and seemingly tried not to let the sum- mons be served on the original owners so that as prominent and well-known people as J. A. Fillmore of the Southern Pacific Company were not notified that their property was endangered and Kipp secured title to it 4 The summons was ordered published on the affidavit of Kipp that he could not find the defendants and when' the order was signed the publication was made in papers without circulation so that land- owners were never really summoned. It is these judgments that Judge Torrance has set aside three times and his judg- ment has twice been reversed. The case will be again appealed. TR S NEW ORLEANS PRISONER MAY BE THE MURDERER Sol:no Officials Believe the Slayer of Cererillo Has Been Cap- tured. SUISUN, March 17.—District Attorney Gregory has received a telegram through Constable W. D. Hyde of Benicia of the arrest in New Orleans of a man supposed to be §. Camilla, the Italian fisherman who killed a fellow countryman named Jack Cererillo, while fishing on Suisun Bay, March 7, 1802, The men were in the same boat when the murder occurred. Camilla took the body of his victim to Benicia and told a story to the effect that Cererillo had accidentally shot himself. The body was turned over to the officers and an inquest was held. At the inquest, however, the testimony of evewitnesses to the mur- der was produced and the Coroner's jury returned a verdict to the effect that Cererillo had been killed by Camilla. In the meantime the murderer had disap- peared and all efforts to locate him were futile. Telegraphic advices from New Orleans say that the man now under ar- rest there answers to the description of Camilla and further investigation will be had by the officers here. et Reliance Defeats Santa Clara. SAN JOSE, March 17.—In a fast and snappy game the Reliance baseball team of Oakland defeated Santa Clara College to-day on the latter's grounds by the score of 4 to 2. The defeat of the Santa Clarans was due mainly to the phenome- nal pitching of Nichols of Reliance, who struck out ten men. Emerson pitched for the college. Three of the best players of the collegians were sick. Nealon at first and Walters in the field were the stars of the Relance Club. Ia the fourth in- ning trouble arose over the ufnpiring of Manager Nealon of Reliance, who was put in in the absence of a regular umpire. A decision of his aroused the college boys and he was forced to retire in favor of Concannon. PRy I Vanderbilt Horses Run Well. PARIS, March 17.—W. K.

This is the firat proceed- ing instituted since the act came inte force, and it is exciting much interest in labor circles. | JOHN J. FULTON CO.
