SUR AGAINST D. NJ. BURNS BoNpsMEy-
In the Superior Court of San Francisco
Controller Dunn, through his attorneys.
!anghorne e. Miller, has commenced suit
IN the name of the people against ex-Sec-
rotary OF State d. NJ. Burns and his official
bondsmen, f. S. Freeman and n. Schardin.
The complaint alleges that Burns held the
office of Secretary of State from January
1850, to January s. 1888, and that during
that time he collected $31, 734 81 for official
fees, which it was his duty under the law.
10 pay into the State Treasury but that he
neglected and failed to do so that on Dc
tober "a, 1884, the Controller served him
with demand that he pay the money
within twenty days. and that on April 81.
1850, IN pursuance of Section 437 of the Po-
1ucal Code, he started an account with the
defendant Burns, and on account of such
delinquency and defalcation charging HIM
with the same. The complaint pravs for
Judgment against the defendant Burns for
S5l, 154 "a. with % per cent added and 10
per cent. interest from November Is. 1884
and against the defendants, Freeman and
Schardin, for $4,000, the amount of the
penalty in the official bond
TIE RIvERs.-The American river was
large and lively stream night before last,
but not as turbulent as was expected after
such an extended storm. Doubtless large
portion OF its waters ran in upon the low
country before reaching the Sacramento.
The latter stream rose steadily until about
noon yesterday. when it registered 10 feet.
IL then receded little but at II O'Clock
last night had risen to 10 feet 4 inches,
probably under the influence of the Feather
and upper Sacramento. There are several
breaks IN the levees of the upper Sacra-
mento, including one at Salmon Bend, four
or five miles below Fremont on the west
side, and another two or three miles below,
on the east side through each of which an
immense body of water is running The
break above Washington is also relieving
the stream considerably. Consequently
notwithstanding the high stage of the river
above, 1t is not expected to show more than
q or % feet here.
The TREASURES WIN-The case of
Treasurer Smith, of Yolo county, against
State Controller John P. Dunn, contesting
the legality of certain commissions and
mileage claimed by the plaintiff, which case
was appealed to the Supreme Court bv
Dunn, has been decided in Smiths favor.
Treasurer Smith claimed these commits
slons and mileage by virtue of Section 342S
of the Political Code. Controller Dunn
contested the claim on the ground that the
county government bill passed by the Leg
islature in 1888 expressly defined that
county officers fees and salaries should be
paid from the county fund for that purpose.
The Court held that officers fees and Off
GERS commissions for the collection of State
taxes were not identical that if county
officers who collected the State taxes were
paid exclusively from the county treasury,
the State could have no share in the eX-
pense, which was not the evident sense of
the law.
WAsHouTs.-A washout occurred on the
line of the Northern Railroad YESTERDAY
morning, between Williams and German
town, in consequence of the country in
that vicinity being covered with water by
the recent storms, and $50 feet of the track
was rendered impossible. AS the water
receded tolerably fast, the work of repairs
was carried on rapidly. and the passenger
train from Redding, due here at 3:45 p NJ
reached the city little after o'clock last
evening. There is q big washout between
Redding and Delta, which occurred on
Tuesday near the point where the Pit river
runs into the Sacramento, piece of the
hill $50 feet long by 40 deep sliding out,
and putting n stop to railroad travel for a
while. A special train arrived here about
1925 last night bringing passengers who
had been DELAYED by washout troubles on
the Southern Pacific.

the President and Governor, this will be
