CLoUD-BURsTs have been among the phe-
nomena OF the Pacific coast this spring, the
mountains OF MERGED county, Cal, having had
more than their share of the quick-coming, I'M
welcome visitors. On the oath OF last month
CHARLES j. Smith, well-tO-dO rancher of Plains
Dury, took gang OF fifty men to his range, On
the highlands above Deadmans creek, for the
spring sheal1ng of his sheep. While the men
were at work on the afternoon of that day,
Smith and Portuguese shearer went into a
cabin at some distance to prepare coffee. Short
~ afterwards the shearerS on the hill above
heard rushing sound, quickly succeeded by a
terrible roaring and cracking, as IL every rock
and powder on the mountain side had been torn
from Its hold and was being hurled along the
bed OF the gulch. They knew in an instant
that cloud had burst, and realized
the frightful position OF Smith and the
Portuguese; They rushed toward the cabin,
yelling at the top OF their voices for the men to
leave the cabin. The latter evidently heard
them, for two daZed, bewildered faces appeared
at the door for single instant and the next a
solid wall OF water, debris and great masses of
earth and rock struck the lightly-built shanty
and all that It contained disappeared. The
scene passed like frightful vision before the
eyes OF the Mortified spectators, and for q mo-
ment they stood as II paralyzed. AS soon as
the water subsided somewhat, search was made
fOr the unfortunate victims, and the body of
the Portuguese was found the next day about
two miles below the scene OF the CATASTROPHE.
The body OF Smith was not found until the sec.
0nd day, having lodged among the rocks about
i've miles below the camp. The onIy injury
upon the body OF Smith was q bruise on the
O1ehead, and there can be no doubt that he
was drowned and not killed by contact with the
bIWlderS.

RON.EdgingS.

In most gardens with any pretenSl0nS to neat
ness, some sort OF edgtng IS employed to mark
the boundary lines of walks, or TO distinguish
the flower plots. In old fashioned gardens IL ia
t1ten nothing more than narrow piece OF
board supported by stout square pegs: but In
most fnsl anccs b1x-edglng is employed. For a
few years after setting out IL looks neat and nice
but after that II becomes TOO large IL let alone,
and hence there is necessity for an annual
trimming II the neatneSS which ought TO prevail
Is desired. the proper time 10 do this Is after
all danger OF iroSt has passed. IL Is one or the
NrSt things which the orderly and systematic

There IS some art required even In trimming

adopted.

THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT Pa
The Brooklyn Bridge.

The tearing down of buildings in
Chatham Street to make way for the ap-
proach of the East River bridge, is be
ing actively pushed. In the last few
manths a rapid advance has been made
upon the approaches on both sides of the
river, Notwithstanding u considerable de
lay caused by the difficulty in obtaining
possession of the land and buildings
along the line of work. Arches have
been erected on several streets, and about
400 men are at work upon the approach
between Rose and Chatham streets. In
Brooklyn the approaches TO the bridge
are nearly done, some 200 men being en-
ployed on that side. In Chatham street
the approach to the bridge will be on a
level with the street and trifle over
100 feet wide. II will be nearly oppo
site the Court House. The stone railing
four feet in height, which is to extend
on each edge of the bridge its entire
length, will end on the "house line" in
the street, aud will he marked by orna-
mental stone posts, on which there will
be lamps. The approach leading from
the street will be divided as follows In
the centre a promenade for foot panssen-
gers. This will be seventeen feet in width
and raised about three feet from the
roadway of the bridge. Next to this
and on each side is space for rapid
transit or street car double track railway
These spaces will be separated from the
promenade by an iron railing. Besides
these there will be two wagon roadways
for all kinds of vehicles, on each side of
the bridge, limited by the stone railing on
the edge. This will be paved with gran
lite blocks the promenade will be of as
phalt concrete. If it is thought necess-
AIRY to charge toll buildings for the pur-
pose will be erected at the entrance close
t. the street. But this matter has not
yet been arranged, though the present
expectations are that for time, ut least,
toll will be charged. 1t is probable that
the bridge at night will be illuminated
with the electric light.

Covington is doomed city. 1t is situated
on the Bend of the Missouri River, the
banks of which are eaten away. The ground
on which the Court House stood year ago
is now covered by many feet of water. The
cutting away is done unevenly. On recent
Sunday the current set in shore and took of
strip of land thirty feet wide in few
hours. No invasions were made tor another
week, when another slice was cut off. Then
half dozen houses were moved back thirty
feet, and the next day the land on which
they had stood were all gone. The residents
haye tried to moor trees and logs to the bank
in the hope of forming barrier for the flood
but the current is so swift and the water so
deep that these attempts have failed.

A movement is being made by Phladel-
phia physicians to secure new law as to ex.
perts' testimony in criminal cases. The bill
hich they have drafted provides that when
expert medical testimony is desired, the
counse! on each side shall select the name
of six or more physicians in regular stand
ing and from the entire number the Judge
sh all draw two by lot. These two shall tts
tify to any points presented to them. Either
side may also introduce expert testimony on
their own account, hut the idea is that the
op inions of the two presumably unbiased
men will have the greatest weight with the
jury.
