The break up Of winter brought
heavy loss and trouble upon the
railroad even though it may be a
happy changAof weather long look
cd for and duly appreciated by the
human family. Every spring these
great highways are more or less
damaged by the rushing waters and
softening Of the ground, but the ex-
tent Of the injury is greater this
spring than ever before ON the
Northern Pacific. The chinook
coupled with the bright sunshine Of
last week and the forepast Of the
present week took the snow off with
II grand rush, and culverts, trcstles
and bridges hive gone down like
grass before the sickle. This fol-
lowing so close upon the snow block
Hdc has caused annoying delays in
the arrival and departure Of trains,
and there Is is no telling when the
road will be in a condition to in
sure regularity Of travel, Weare in
formed that there were nine bad
breaks between Ritzville and Aims
worth Sunday, and heavy Slides on
the o. r. & n. In response to tel
egram Glover & Gillian and Warner
& Roe of this city sent down several
teams and vehicles on special
freight Sunday night and are en-
gagged in transferring passengers,
express, etc, between the gaps in
the roadway. a very large force of
men are hard at work making re-
pairs, but the damage is so great that
it requires a vast amount OF labor to
make good the road. Passenger
trains are held at the several stations
for "A hours at a time. The train
that laid over here Monday night
contained upward of 400 passengers.
The loss to the railroad by the break
up will run high into the thousands,
to say uothing Of the inconvenience
and loss to the public. 1t is impos-
sible to say when the road will again
be open to traffic or how long it will
remain so, but the officials are in
hopes of having trains rolling along
by the last of the present week.

SAN Francisco, May 26.-Ex-Senator
William Sharon testified to-day for the
first time in the suit brought against him
for divorce and alimony. He denied ever
having received 81, 500 from plaintiff for
investment; the word wife in letters
produced addressed by him to her were
forgerics; never signed the alleged mar
riage contract; the docum ent was a torg-
cry; never know of its existence until he
saw it in court; never proposed marriage
in any form to plaintiff. Sharon then re
counted the circumstances of his first
meeting with Miss Hill. She called on
him to ask his advice about investment in
certain stocks. She called several times
subsequently, and as on one occasion
plaintiff did not resent some familiarities
that passed between them, he offered her
$3.50 in money to live with him. She re
piled that it was not enough, when he in
creased the offer to $500, when she silent
ly accepted. From that time he continued
to pay plaintiff that amount of money.

From the Honolulu Daily Hawaiian.
Among the visitors to the Islands by
the last steamer We're Hon. William Hale,
Governor of Wyoming Territory, Mrs.
Hale and their son Master Archie. The
Governor came here in search of health,
which the sea voyage on the Alameda
measurably afforded him. In San Fran
cisco Governor Hale was so weak that he
was unable to feed or dress himself He
now walks the streets with a firm step,
takes plenty of exercise and is in every
way a new man. He is SO grateful for
the immense improvement in his health.
that he will remain here for at least two
weeks more. The Governor wa born in
lS4l, in Central Iowa andis consequently
still a young man, although hard work and
sickness have bleached his hair and beard
considerably. In American politics he
has always been u Republican of the
"Stalwart' type. He practiccd law in the
southwest portion of Iowa at GlenwoOd
and through the Council Bluffs district for
over twenty years, serving also for three
terms in the Legislature of Iowa and be-
ing returned as n Grant Elector in 1868
during the first Grant campaign. In 1867
he was married to Miss Frances L. Round
of New York, by whom he has three
children, the eldest boy being with him on
his present trip. The Royal Hawaiian
band serenaded the Governor and the
foreign visitors staying at the hotel ON
Tuesday evening, rendering II select and
very excellent programme in the most
finished style.

NEW York, May 26.-James d. Fish,
ex-president of the Marine bank, was ar
rested tonight upon a warrant issued by
the United States Commissioner Shields.
Fish was arrested at Mystic Flats. Broad
way and Thirty-ninth streets, where it is
stated he has been hiding. He was not
taken before a magistrate and still re
mains in the custody of the United States
Marshal. The warrant was issued upon
an affidavit made before Commissioner
Shields by Augustus Serbia, National
Bank Examiner, He deposed hat after
a careful examination, he had found that
President Fish had Incorporated funds
belonging to the bank amounting to
81, l4l 900. This was done between
March l and May 6, 1884 by a series of
credits to the firm of Grant & Ward of
moneys in sums from $25, 900 to $16O, 900,
at various dates. and they were entered in
the books of the bank as loans to mag
mary persons and secured by imaginary
collaterals in stocks and bonds, none of
which loans had ever been made and the
transactions were stated to be entirely fic-
titious. The affidavits assert that James
d. Fish, as president, caused to be paid
out money belonging to the Nation
al Banking association to or upon writ
ten orders of Grant & Ward, and for the
benefit of himself and said Ferdinand
Ward, and further sums in excess Of all
credits to said firm amounting to $7GG, 4O2
at the time of said overdraws, he. James
ID, Fish, well knowing that the firm of
Grant x Ward was then unable to repay
the sums so overdrawn and the firm being
then indebted to said bank to an amount
exceeding 81 ,634, 600; the total indebted
ness thus augmented being six times the
capital stock of said banking association.
NEW YORK, May 2~6.-Bondsmen of
James ID. Fish appeared before Commits
sioner Shields this afternoon and qualified
in the following amounts James f.
Ward, of Ward & Co., Havana steam
ship company, SIS, 900; Francis c. Reed,
lawyer, 81, 500; David Hirsch, tobacco
manufacturer, 81, 500. Fish then took
his departure accompanied by his friends.
Before he left the building he was shown
the statement in the evening paper pur,
porting the denial by General Grant con,
corning the ownership of letters which
Fish said General Grant had written ia
him. Fish said he did not believe General
Grant had denied having written the
letters in question, as he Fish now had
them in his possession. He would, how.
ever, refuse for the present to make then
public, except as to their general scope
which he had already disclosed.
