Mississippi.
WINoNA, MIMI, May 4.-The Mississippi
river has reached the highest point ever
known here. Fears are entertained that
the water will carry away the wagon
bridge crossing the river from this place
to Wisconsin. The ferry has suspended
operations, as the cable is not long enough
to span the breadth OF water, which is
now three miles wide. Water is pouring
over the levee above the city filling up the
lake and is now backing up from below
town into the lake and every inch of rise
in the river makes two inches i'm the cellar
on the south side of the town. The st.
Paul track is washed out above here 50 as
to stop trains. All the saw mills are
closed down, all the manufacturing estab-
lishments and places of business on the
north, south and west ends of the city are
closed and business is generally suspended.

The Hon. John M. Burke, Of Idaho,
thinks he stands a good show of securing
the Democratic nomination for delegate
to succeed Dubois. His Montana friends
would like to see him secure the honor,
for ne would make a brilliant campaign,
and if elected, be something more than a
walking delegate, a distinction that Du-
bois seems to enjoy. Mr.. Burke would be
able to get some action on many matters
special interest to Idaho, and the Ter
ritories at large.

AS TO PooRMAN.

Mr.. Burke was asked concerning the ru-
mors in regard to the Poorman mine, in
which he holds a large amount OF stock.
He said he had heard nothing OF them
until he arrived in Butte, having just come
from Boise, Idaho, where he had been at
tending the delegate convention. But, if
even everything that was said about the
mine having struck a thirty-ive per cent.
vein OF zinc were true, which he very much
doubted, he wonld not let go a share of the
stock he owned. Mr.. Burke, in common
with many other holders of Poorman mine
stock, thinks it one Of the best properties
in the West, and is confident it will pay a
good dividend in July, as has been prom
ised. He leaves here this morning, to go
over there for the purpose of seeing what
foundation there is for the umors, or
whether, as he strongly suspects, it is a
fabrication intended to bear the stock.

political matters in the Territory he said
the Mormon element have everywhere ex-
pressed the intention of taking the path
and voting at the next election Tor Delegate.
a delegation of them had approached him,
understanding he would be a candidate at
the next election and had asked him a
attitude he would stand in towards them
if they supported him for delegate. He told
them the attitude he occupied toward them
was the same as that with which he re-
garded and would act towards all-Jews or
Gentiles, Christians or M~ormons-equal
and exact Justice for all before the law; he
believed in prosecution OF the laws as they
exist mot persecution. s'They retired APP

CROSS EXAMINATION.
Upon cross-eXamination by the at
torneys for the defense, the witness
testified as follows:
Said he had never seen Frank
Henry before he came to Waco and
first got with him on the day he was
robbed and he went with me to my
lodging place after the robbery. In
answer to question, he said, eve
were drinking together during that
day." He stated that the man who
did the robbing first came up to Frank
Henry, who was short distance off,
but he could not tell what he said to
him, saw him feeling over Hen1y's
person. The man then came up to
where 1 was and said he had q right
to search me for concealed weapons.
I told him had no weapons. I told
the man after he got my money he
must give me some security. Capt.
NJ. ID. Herring asked the witness why
he had signed his affidavits made be-
fore Justice Makeig, "W. G. Grimes"
instead of "W. c. Crimes" and
which was his right name? Witness
stated that his name was w. C..
Grimes and that the signature at
tached to the aflidavits was his, but
simply an error on his part in sign
ing. Witness said that he left Bu-
ford county, S. c., about three or four
weeks ago and had about.S75 on him
when he left there. Said he was in
the saloon business in Buford county;

TT. Worth or Goldthwaite, but could
not tell much about the town; he
said he went from there to Hot
Springs, Ark, and was also unable
give any description of that place
as he stopped there only 36 hours
said he counted his money only once
at Valadosta, Ga, between Bufort
county S. c., and Waco, Said h
could not remember how many ten o.
f five dollar bills he had when h
/ counted the money at Valadosta, Ga.
said he stopped ut a saloon and lodg
ing house combined, at Savannah, Ga.
