San Francisco, Feb. 5.-Charles >. Neal
4 Co., stock brokers, have suspended.
Mr.. Neal is Secretary Of the Board Inc
failure is for only 1884, 600, and it is ex-
pected the firm will be able to worry
through.
In the case Of Wheeler. who strangied
his sister-in-law, Della Tilson, the jury
after an absence of about an hour this
morning, brought in q verdict OF murder
10 the first degree.
EVANSVILLE, Feb. 5.-The river has
fallen nearly four feet. The water in Yuba
City is confined to the back streets; Main
street is not flooded. The break In the
| Suffer leyee at Pinney's, " miles above
Yuba City, is not at Gslhanse's as reported
| The rain from the north came down as far
as Gridley's yesterday. The railroad track
is badly washed out in places north and
| south of this city. Tn trains are NOT
likely to be able to pass for q week, unless
| the storm subsidies. The Feather and
| Yuba river railroad bridges ale not dam
aged. Outside of this city there is a per-
| feet inland sea. Only for the strips OF land
| extending from the North Buttes, towards
| Gridley, the Marysville Buttes would con
| stitute an island.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 5.-The Assembly,
| ON r~eassembling, the consideration Of first
reading the file was resumed. But two
bills were read, when report was brought
| in that the Brighton 1evee, on the north
| side Of the city, had broken, and that the
water was coming into the city, when the
| House took a recess for an hour, and the
members made q precipitate break for the
door.
WHEAILAxD, Feb. 5.-The prospect Is
more favorable. The storm seems to be
| over. Owing to the present high water 1t
is impossible to learn the amount OF dam
| age done by the last storm. Bear river Is
now falling fast. Without any further
| drawback railroad travel will be opened in
a day or two. The mail is being trans
| ferred across the break in a boat. The
| leyees are safe on this side.
CHICO, Feb. 5.-The river has been ris-
ing steadily all day, and in many places,
| several miles from the river, which were
| thought to be comparatively safe, have
been flooded. In the town Of Wood, three
| miles from the river, the water is about
two feet deep. Part Of the large grain
warehouse gave way yesterday, bridges and
| levees are broken in every direction, and
| communication with Oroville has stopped.
Several warehouses along the river have
| given way, owing to the softening OF the
ground and weight of grain. The loss of
| cattle will be heavy, besides great damage
to farmers BY the overflow. 1t is impossi-
Bile to estimate the damage at present.
MARYsvILLE (Cal.), Feb. 5.-The city
has been saved for the present at least by
| hard work throughout ~theenight on the
levees. The water is receding since 8 A. NJ.
Yubs City is partly flooded, and the water
is rushing across Suffer county through
the breaks. The Feather river bridge is
disabled. That over the Yuba is standing,
but under water. Young Churchill and
others, reported lost, have turned up all
safe.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 5.-House reassem-
bled at 3: 10 P. NJ, it having been ascer-
tanned that no levee had broken, and most
Of the members were present. The con
sideration Of the general file was resumed.
Young's bill to prevent the accumulation
of large landed estates was ordered read 8
second time-ayes 80, noes %. After the
bill had been read, the question on its en-
grossment was put and lost without diyi-
sion. Young gave notice to reconsider the
bill to repeal the Debris act, which goes to
the House on q third reading file to-mor-
row. The indications grow stronger that
Ii will pass the Senate,
