FOUND IN THE RIVER.
Tho Remains of Banker Dittman Discov-
cred In the Schuyliill.

A Philadelphia telegram of Sunday says:
The mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of Banker Joseph &. Dittman, who
was last seen alive on December 18th last,
was cleared up to-day by the finding Of his
decomposed and swollen body floating on
the Schuylkill river.
The discovery was made by three en-
ployes of the Philadelphia Works.
The body was first seen under the bridge
of the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company,
which crosses the river at Filbert street,
and it had apparently just risen to the
surface.
Everybody along the river had become
familiar with the appearance of the miss
ing banker through repeated publications
of his description. and the rapid spreading
of the news that the long search for him
had finally ended brought to the banks OF
the stream an enormous crowd of people,
who gazed with curiosity at the body as il
foated in the water moored to O wharf.
1t was soon taken on board the police
tug and search of the clothing made
which settled beyond all doubt the ques-
ton Of identity.

FLOOOlN THE WEST.
Tho Main Limo of tho Southern Pacific
Open.
fBy telegraph to the Dlspstch.i

SAN FRAScIsco, January N.-The rail-
road officials at Sacramento succeeded IN
having communication for short time late
last night with the Truckee Office on the
eastern slope of the Sierra Mountains,
when it waslearned that the snow Is sixteen
feet deep on the track between that place
and station five miles west OF there. The
late rams followed by freezing weather had
transformed this into ice. It's understood
the railroad company has ende9yored TO
secure Geographic communication with
Reno IN order that few at least OF the
west-bound trains that are there can be
ordered back to Ogden and their passen-
gers transferred to the Southern route.
The situation remains the same on the
road to Oregon. The water in the streams
and the rivers of California is receding,
but in some places slowly. From Calusa,
in the western part of the Sacramento Val
lev, reports are that for twenty-five miles
north and south of there the farms are
covered with water to depth OF from two
to six feet.
The loss throughout the State by the
food cannot even be approximately estl-
mated at this time, but it seems certain 1t
will not be as great as was at first estiina-
ted. The railroad companies did splendid
work yesterday in getting the tracks lead
ing out of the city repaired. The main
lines Of the Southern Pacific system are
now open as far as Sacramento and 70
points Of equal distance in the San Joa-
quin Valley.

Held for Attempted Assassination.


PHILADELPHIA, January 27.-David Alex
ander, young man who last night at
tempted 10 assassinate Bishop Whitaker at
St. Johns Protestant Episcopal church,
was arraigned this afternoon before Magis-
trate Pole. Police Surgeons Andrews and
Gibbs were the only witnesses. They tes--
tilted to having made an examination of
the prisoner in the policestation this
morning and found him suffering from re-
ligious monomania with homicidal ten
denotes. The prisoner told them during
the examination that he wanted to kill
both Bishop Whitaker and Rev. DR.. s. d.
Mcconnell, of st. Stephens Protestant
Episcopal church, upon whom he placed
the responsibility of the defeat of the pro-
hibition cause at the State election in June
last. The relatives of the prisoner de-
sired to place the young man into an asy-
lum, but Magistrate Pole thought the case
was one for a jury and committed Alexan-
der for trial at the present term OF court.
