Serious damage has been done to railway property, especially in the southern part of the state. Soledad canyon, on the line entering Los Angeles from this city, is in almost as bad a condition as last year. Much of the new and costly work, which required ten months to complete, has suf- fered from the storm. Two hundred feet of the bridge west of Los Angeles has been carried away, the track washed out, the pile work broken, and the tunnel at the entrance to the Canyon damaged. On the Yuma division eight bents of the big bridge were destroyed, and the track is six feet out of line in many places. The bridge near Monte was also swept away.

Between Col- ton and Banning several bridges have been weakened. Railroad Traffic Suspended. On the Santa Anna branch the track is under water for long stretches, and in some places it has been swept away.

The latter route is in good condition, and also the Shasta line. Los Axcnrns, Cal, Feb. 26,—The late storm was one of the worst in the history of this section. But little damage resulted in the city proper. On the river front all the railway bridges were damaged, and in some cases swept out. News from the surrounding country is very meager, owing to the telegraph wires being down, but so far as learned the outlook is not encourag- ing. There are many rumors and reports of loss of life, but the only"cases so far au- thenticated are the drowning of a whole family. a man named \Vells, with his wife and children, near ’Wilmington.

Touching Tribute to, His Departed Colleague—Senator Spooner the Loss to H im Says Is a. Personal ()ne. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—In the senate to- day the chaplain in his prayer feelingly alluded to the death of Senator \Vilson, of Maryland, which occurred in this city last night. After the journal “us read, business was suspended on the suggestion of Mr. Edmunds to give time for consultation with Mr. Gorman as to what course he wished the senate to pursue in connection with the death of his colleague. ‘. Mr.‘Gorman in a 10\ ' and mournful voice said: “It becomes my duty, Mr. President, to announce to the senate the death of my colleague, the late Ephraim K. Wil— son. He breathed his last in this city Tues day night about ten minutes past 10 o’clock. My late colleague, though not robust in health, was in this chamber Sat- :r; urday last, giving .5 that earnest atten- ' tion to public busi- ness which was the rule of his life. On Sunday he was indisposed, but none around him thought that it was more than temporary trouble, , which would soon pass away. His death comes therefore as a sudden shock, not only to his associates, but to the country ' and to his family. “My colleague had for some time antici- patedasuddeu taking off. He was con- . scious that he had an attack of the heart 7' which might terminate his career at any . time. And yet, with the courage of a hero, he went on in the discharge of his ' private and public duties as earnestly and as quietly and as methodically as if he were in robust health. He had nearly reached the allotted term of threescore- and-ten. He was beloved and honored by the people of his state, whom he had seryed in their state legislature, as a presidential elector, as a member of the house of repre- sentatives and as an associate justice of the circuit court of his district. He had been twice elected a member of this body. All Parties Honored Hint. “His career here is familiar to all of us. We knew him as a man of lofty intel- ligence, as a lawyer of active and rare logic and as a gentleman without re- proach. He enjoyed the estegjn of every member of this body without regard to party. The loss of such a man is a loss to the nation. But in Maryland his death will be specially mourned. The people of that state have lost an upright citizen, 3. true friend, a faithful legislator. He died as he lived, a modest, painstaking, Chris- tian gentleman. ” Mr. Gorman then offered resolutions ex-. pressing the great sorrow with which the senate had heard of the death of Mr. \Vil- son; directing the appointment of aeom- mittee of eleven senators to take order for superintending his funeral: directing the removal of the remains to Maryland in charge of the sergeant-at-arms and attend- , ed by the. committee, and ordering that a i communication be sent to the house ofi representatives, with an invitation to at— ‘ tend the funeral tO-morrow, and to appoint , acornmittee to act with a committee of g the senate. . Senator Spooner’s Tribute. . Mr. Spoouer paid his tribute to the dead 1 senator. He did so now, he said, because 3 when the senate (in obedience to its cus- I | l SE KATOR IV I LSON. tom) would hereafter suspend business in order to allow eulogies to be delivered, he (Mr. Spooner) would not be a member of 5 the body. Senator Wilson and himself had 5 entered the senate on the same day, and ! had become members of the committee on E claims on the same day, so their relation with each other, personal and official, had been intimate. Some years ago he had been admitted to Mr. \Vilson’s confidence and been honored by his personal friend— ship. Mr. IVilson’s death came to him, 5 therefore, as a personal loss. He spoke of the deceased as a man pe- culiarly modest and unobtrusive, and yet having that spirit and independence that are essential to manliness. He was able, and when duty ordered and health permit- ted could successfully cope with any an- tagonist in debate on any subject. He had great legal learning, and his temperament was judicial. His aspirations were all ele- vated, and he was in his public and private life a Christian gentleman. The resolutions were agreed to unani- mously, and Messrs. Gorman, Gray, .Ionos, of Arkansas; Pasco, Faulkner, Spooner, Wilson, of Iowa; Mitchell and Dixon were appointed the committee on the part of the senate. The senate then, at 11:30, as a further mark of respect, adjourned till Thursday at 11 a. m. The Burlington Mills Burned. BURLINGTON, Vt., Feb. 26.—The Burling- ton cotton mills, situated on the Burling- ton side of the river at “finooski, two miles north of here, were burned yester- day The loss is $150,000; insurance, $136,- 000. The flames spread so rapidly that the employes were obliged to escape by ropes. In doing this John Taylor was badly and perhaps fatally burned. Nelson Young was also badly burned and Joseph Pertoin sustained a. bad cut on his thigh by a fall from a rope. Sparks film the burning building set fire to, the lumber sheds of Edwards & Stevens across the river, and the flames from this place were communi- cated to adjoining buildings. At one time it looked as though the whole village of VVinooski must- go, but aid from Burling- ton finally put the fire under control. The loss in the village of \Vinooski is $20,000. Nearly .‘20() bands are thrown out of em- ployment by the burning of the mills. “'aut “Fitz” and Hall to Fight. SAX Axroxm, ’l‘ex..

J ., Feb. 2:3.—.\ horrible stabbing at'fray took place at Hibernia, a. mining town about eleven miles from this place, between two Slavonian miners named Parvil Vatiski and Tabola Kalvel- sec.

A few minutes before the dance broke up Kalvelsec left the place muttering threats of vengeance. As the couple were passing through a piece of woods on their way home they were confronted by Kalvelsec, who assault- ed Vatiski. The latter attempted to de- fend himself, when suddenly he fell to the ground with the words, “He killed me.” Vatiski was taken to his home in a dying condition. ‘Ilis assailant has disappeared.
