Southern California Washed By Its
Mighty Torrent.

 

 

 

A WHOLE FAMILY BROWN ED

SAN FIlAXCIsCO, Feb. 26.—The latest re-
ports show that the storm is about over.
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.
Three washouts Of a serious nature have
occurred between Pomona and Cuyamon-
ga, and east of Colton 250 feet of the track,
roundhouse, sidings and everything mova-
ble have been 'carried 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.
South of Downey station the new railroad
bridge was destroyed and the town itself
flooded. Between Seven Palms and Yuma
the track is in a very bad condition. Over
three miles have been swept away.

For 150 miles between Seven Palms and
Yuma the wires are down, and nothing
definite is known Of the condition of the
track. The Sunset route will probably be
inoperative fora week, and no tickets to
New Orleans will be sold at present. The
Atlantic and Pacific has had washouts
near Barstow, and has suspended the sale

of overland tickets. via Mojave for one-

week. The passengers will be sent east
over the Central Pacific. 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. Undoubt-
edly great damage was done to orchards
and ranches south of the city, wbcre'the
floods were the worst in years. Many
houses were damaged, live stock drowned,
and fences and outbuildings destroyed.

Streets Running with “Tater.

Vinolxu, Ills, Feb. ‘36.———A severe rain
and hail storm visited this section yester—
day afternoon and evening. The ground
during the progress of the hailstorm was
completely covered with hailstones to the
depth of four inches in places, and at times
the hailing resembled the roar of artillery.
The streets in the evenng were streams of
running water. The crops will be dam-

aged.

. ' Flomes Surrounded by \Vater.

SL'IIXEH, Ills., Feb. 26. The Embarrass
river is overflowing, and has already gone

clared Messrs. Friedlander and Morrow,

dignation runs high among the Republi-
cans. -

TORONTO, Ont., Feb. flu—Reform Or-

ganizer Preston makes a serious charge

against a. member of The Empire staff,

He says:

“I am prepared to prove that an employe
occupying a prominent position in the
management of The Empire ofl‘ice ap-
proached one of the correspondents of an
American newspaper in this city offering
to pay him a handsome figure if he would
get his brother, who is-au agent fora syndi-
cate news agency at \Vashington, to send
a dispatch from thére to the American
press stating that Maj. McKinleyiu t'or—
mulating his famous measure during the
last session of the United States congress
received the information from Mr. J.
Charlton, then M. P. for North Norfolk,
whereby McKinley was enabled to intro-
duce into his measure suchrlegislation as
would seriously affect the farming com-
Inunity in this country.”

The correspondent in question replied to
the employe or member of The Empire
staff that his brother was too honorable a
man to undertake that kind of work, and
The Empire employe then stated that if
he would not do it there were plenty of
others in \Vashington who would gladly
take the job if they were paid handsomely
for it.

\Yells, of the. same institution, accusing
the latter of being immoral and incompe-
tent. .-\ trial was had before a court ap-
pointed by directors Of the college, and
while Professor Gottwald’s charges were
found to be unsustaiued by the evidence,
the court considered it necessary to ex—
press disapprobatiou of the manner in
which the dean has of late been conduct-
ing himself. The verdict was rendered
Saturday, and yesterday \Vells entered
Gottwald’s studio and knocked the pro-
fessor down. Gottwald tl‘m grabbed a

to-the Long List.

EULOGIZBD IN THE SENATE.

Mr.» Gorman Pays :1. 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

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.

or ounce gloves between Bob Fitzsimmons
