Standstill.
Los ANGELES, January 25th.-Rain be-
gan falling in torrents at noon to-day and
continued without interruption for eight
hours, and is falling now 40 P. M but not
so hard The streets are again turned into
rivers. The Pacific Cable Company's power
houses are flooded, and the line is COM
PEELED to shut down. This company Is the
principal means of transportation about
the city, operating nearly thirty miles OF
road. No trains went out on any of the
roads tonight.
Repairs are all completed from the late
storm, but as the new soil and road beds
are not vet settled, it was considered unsafe
to send cut the trains until after thorough
inspection, and the result of to-day's trip
were made known.
The greatest danger apprehended is from
the melting of the immense quantities of
snow which has fallen in the mountains.
The rain is accompanied by very per-
ceptible rise of temperature, and the snow
is reported melting rapidly.
Gangs of men are out patrOlling the
banks and leyees of the river tonight,
keeping close watch for breaks. Trouble
is expected when the waters from Tejunga
canyon arrive, which will not be before

inches; for the season, 22.69 inches. No
special damage is reported in this vicinity,
it being some twelve miles from the river.
Trains from Fruto TO Willows are making
regular trips, though the track of the main
line north and south is washed out in
numerous places and cannot be repaired
until the water recedes. No mail for two
DAYS. 1t is cloudy, but warm, the sun
shining. The snow is melting from the
adjacent mountains, and with the rains
has swollen the streams and washed away
small bridges. At Jacinto, on the Sscra-
mento river, the streets are covered with
water and the river is rising rapidly.
Apprehensive Islanders,
STocKroS. January 25th.-The rain con-
tinued steadily last night. The water is
rising rapidly in the San Joaquin river and
in Stockton and Mormon channels. There
is q heavy downpour in the mountains,
which will raise the water in the streams
dangerously high. In Stockton surface
water has flooded many yards and lots and
the easements of houses.

water rises much more the town will be

GOULD GETS rACIFIo MAIL.

Their Pisces.

4helT Ttsceg.
NEW YORK, Nov. l9.-The Goulds
have regaiued control OF the Pacific Mail
steamship company. A. meeting sof
directors held this afternoon Mr. George
Gould was present representing the Gould
and Sage interests. designations of Ed
ward Lauterhach, C. NJ. MCGEE and
Oliver 2. Hayne were received, and
George J. Gould. Jay Gould and Russell
Sage were elected in their places. Then
J. B. Houston resigned the office of pres
ident. aud was succeeded By George J.
Could, who Immediately offered reso-
luton that Houston be elected vice-Vres-
iGrnt and general manager. This reso-
luton was carried without dissent. The
REASONS given by an authority Tor these
sudden changes in Pacific Mnil are these:
First, Gould has become u controlling
of this country and il was important that
hr should also control the Pacific Mail,
which is au important link in the general
chain. Second, Gould's pride had been
more or less hurt by the usurpatiop Of
control by other interests ut the last
election, and it naturally is matter of
pride to get the control back again. And
third, representative interests in the
81 ock were anxious that harmonious re-
lations should be established with the
Gouds, and it was better, il was sug-
gested, that the changes be made in this
quiet ami peacable way.

GRANGER, TEX. Nov. 19.-In respons.
TO a call, the citizens held mass meet

pointed aud set to WORK this morning

The Texas and Pacific had for some time
given u secret rate OF forty-five cents BIZ
way Of Fort Worth, aud the Louisville,
New Orleans and Texas, backed by
Memphis, filed complaint against its
competitor and gave notice that an open
rate would be made. II was wicked
cut. certainly, and would benefit South
ern shippers. but the same rate has
been in effect for some time secretly.
That it gave sugar men in the South an
advantage was not by pre-arrangement
The trouble that has arisen has come
from the Kansas City-Denver lines. The
old rate was sixty-three cents, and the
Denver lines proportion of this rate was
an agreed percentage. Instead of
accepting smaller divisions the lines out
OF Kansas City which were not
consulted when the cut was autnoriz /
insisted upon the same percentage as of
old, which would give them twenty-three
to twenty five out OF the forty five-cent
rate. There was no talk of any rcor-
ners' or of ''nlpping' in the transact
ton. The Kansas City roads simply held
out; they had not consented to cut
any and therefore were entitled to any
percentage agreed upon. AS this would
only leave 10 to II per cent to New Or
leans lines and the same to
Memphis, there is naturally q
commotion. Kansas City lines are
against the rate in realty because of the
longer haul when shipments are made
from the East. a meeting will be held
soon to induce some one of the Kansas
CITY Denver lines to accept lesser per-
centage and If the attempt fails the
Southern lines will most likely take off
