RIVERS BREAK THEIR BONDS
And Cause Alarm in Many New
England Towns.

BIDDEFoRD, April 30.-The Saco river has
risen rapidly within twenty-four hours.
There is large body of snow in the back
towns and if the rain, which began tonight
continues, it will cause freshet even great
er than last spring. Several saw mills

river has been rising steadily at Concord
since early yesterday morning. The low
lands and many roads are inun dated, which
interferes with travel from towns lying east
of the city. The freshet is greater than that

one and half inches an hour, and although
little damage as yet has been reported in
Concord much is liabla to happen unless the
water recedes.
The new pulp mill dam and pen stock,
erected last season by James III. Hubbard at
an expense of $4,000 at Croydon, was en-
tirely swept out by high water last night,
carrying with it an excelsior shop and dam
below and 200 cords of poplar pulp wood; al
so blacksmith shop and other buildings
and the bridge on a branch of the Sugar
river at Croydon flats. The damage cannot
be less than $4,000 and everything is total
loss TO the overs.

melting and pouring into the valleys in
freshets and flooding the fiat farming land

undermined the railroads and highways.
There are three feet of snow in the woods.

Neal DOW on High License.

On April 14th there was printed in St.
Paul paper despatch from Portland, saying
that Maine would probably have a high Ii
cense law, in three years and that the prohl-

was growing, was openly disregarded
throughout the State. d. 9. Stearns Of Zum
brota, Mimi, wrote to Neal Dow inclosing
the telegram and received the following re-
ply:
There is nothing whatever in Maine TO justify
the statement in this slip. There is no sentiment
whatever in Maine in favor of high license or any
form of that policy. Prohibition in Maine is final
ly and mmovably fixed In the public opinion of
the State, as it Is In the Constitution, where II was
put in 1884 by a vote of three to one. Statements
OF aancy kind similar incharacter t0those in this
slip are constantly going the rounds Of the press,

CHICAGO, April 30.-The nomination of

unexpectedly He, however, stated he would
not decline it,
