Associated Press Dispatches.

LOUISVILLE, March 31.-With four
inches of water-soaked snow, slowly
melting, the situation in the devastated
district has been gloomy today, and
many people tonight are broken in
spirit though their physical wants are
supplied. Most of the streets in the dis
trick are ankle deep in mud and water.
The worst result of the wet is not so
much in additional injury to property as
i'll suffering, owing to the ill-health
of the poorly protected peo-
pie. Scores of families are
protected only by hastily put up boards
or canvas, and they are wet and cold.
There is plenty of food, however, and
the relief committee and agents are
striving in every way to supply proper
protection from the weather for all.
The heavy snow, however, has greatly
retarded repairs in the residence dis
trict, and vast quantity OF household
goods today has been partially or wholly
spoiled by the wet The tobacco ware
houses are pretty well protected, and it
is not thought their loss will be serious.
Mayor Jacobs in an interview this
evening, said he is satisfied that the
number of those killed outright and
those who will die from wounds, will not
reach $50.
Three Russian Jews were arrested last
night while setting fire to demolished
store on Market street in the midst OF
the shattered district. The fellows will
be severely dealt with Besides this
there has been but few criminal at
tempts since the storm. Mrs. Barn
WE'LL whose husband, the rector of St.
robbed of all her jewelry and money,
and even the body of her dead husband
was not respected, his gold watch being
taken from his pocket.
A water famine is isthrea,ened in serious
earnest. The river is at such high
stage that the injury to the pumping
station cannot be repaired. The river
is still rising. As long as the flood con-
tinues, nothing can be done. President
Long estimates that the reservoirs
barely hold three days supply.
The last of the dead were laid away
today.
A late special from Henderson says
the total OF the killed in Webster county
is forty, and of the wounded eighty
nearly all in the poor section known as
Biackford. A relief corps has gone from
Henderson.
In Louisville the total number of
dead so far is ninety-three, and wounded
about $50. OF the latter between twenty
and thirty are not expected to live.
Possibly more than that number will
eventually succumb.

A MURDER CLEARED UP.
The Slayers of Jens Frederickson and
Wife Exposed.

Wife Exposed.
ASTORIA, Ore, March 31.-The verdict
of the Coroner's jury at Bay Centre,
Washington, charged George Rose and
John Edwards with the murder of Jens
T. Frederickson, who disappeared early
in February and whose body was found
last Wednesday in lonely gulch near
Bruceport, Washington. Frederickson's s
wife disappeared at the same time. Her
body was not found until after the in
quest on her husbands. George Rose
then confessed that he knew where the
body was, and located it. Frederickson
had filed on valuable land claim ad-
joining the farm of john Rose, father of
the supposed murderer. The same claim
had previously been located by different
parties, all of whom had been frightened
off by Rose. Frederickson disappeared
early in February. When inquiries
were made, George Rose told of seeing
them go out on Shoal Water bay in a
small boat, and disappear in squall
which suddenly arose. Suspicious were
excited by various circumstances, and
by the guilty actions of George Rose,
and vigorous search was made for the
missing couple, which resulted in find
ing the body of the man buried in a
lonely gulch near the disputed claim.
His head was filled with shot and was
pounded to pulp by the murderer, who
broke his gun in doing this. The theory
has been that when the husband was
killed, the wife fled in a boat and was
pursued and killed and her body sunk
in the bay.
A printer named Lowry, George D.
Jones and George Rose are all in Jail at
Oysterville. Rose claims that Jack Ed
wards and another man, who are now in
Eastern Washington, committed the
murder.

nita was sent out at once to the scene,

HANDSOMELY DONE.
Rates Oh Orange Shipments
Reduced.
A Single Rate of S1.1O Per G.
to Chicago.
TO All Points East of Chicago Dol
lat and a Quarter.
Mr.. G. F. Smurr's Kindly Offices for the
Fruit Growers-Other Pacific Coast
News.
Associated Press Dispatches. |


SAN Francisco, March 81. The freight
committee of the Transcontinental Rail-
way Association met here today, and
adopted new freight tariff for orange
and lemon shipments. The present rate
to the Missouri river is $1.1215 per 100
pounds, and $l.25 to Chicago and St.
Louis. By the new tariff these two rates
are removed, and one of $1.10 substi-
tuted. The rate from here to any and
all points between the Atlantic Coast
and Chicago and st. Louis will be 81 .25,
being a reduction of sixty-fve cents per
hundred between here and New York.
The consent of the lines east of the
Missouri river and Chicago must be OBJ
tained before the latter can 90 into
effect. A telegram was sent today, ask
ing their consent, and it is thought there
will be no difficulty on this score. 1t
was agreed by the committee to have
the changes go into effect next Friday
The new rates were presented to the
committee for adoption by G. f. Smurr,
general freight agent OF the Southern
Pacific Company, and seconded by
General Freight Agent Campbell, of the
Pacific division of the Union Pacific.
Smurr, by his long residence at Los An
geles as a Southern Pacific representa-
tive, became very familiar with citrus
fruit shipments, and the main argu-
ment he used in favor of the reduction
was that the competition of Mediter-
ranean fruitsas far west as Chicago was
SO great that California shippers abso-
lutely required a saving in freight rates
to meet it.
There is still remaining in Southern
California about LOO carloads of this
seasons orange crop that will get the
benefit Of the new rate. These rates, to-
gether with the reductions recently
made in the rates in deciduous fruits,
will have the effect of saving to shippers
this year fully 100000.

GOT IN ARREARS.
His Political Aspirations Ruined Him.
He Spent Money Lavishly for Partisan
Purposes-The Governor Drawn Into
the Muddle.

BALTIMORE, Nd, March 31.-The Suns
Belair correspondent, writing about
Treasurer Archer, whose shortage it is
now thought will amount to half a mil
lion dollars, says Archer's present diff
Guilty is the result of political aspira-
tons, which began to develop at least
thirty years ago. He spent money with
alavish hand to further his own political
preferment, and was almost equally
liberal in his expenditures to advance
the political interests of prominent pol
itical friends.
The .ondsmcn viii Ne. Pay.
1t is now the declared purpose of his
bondsmen not to pay a cent of the
amount for which they became sureties,
unless after the exhaustion of all legal
methods they are compelled to do So.
One of them is bitter in his denunciation
of the deception that has been practiced
upon him. He has only been on the bond
four months, and declares that he will
not be responsible for single dime, be-
cause Archer knew that he was de-
faulter when he asked him to become
Governor jackson Culpable.
There is provision in the constitu-
ton Of the State which requires the
Governor to examine under oath every
six months the accounts of the Comp
troller and Treasurer. Peculations have
been practiced by Archer for the past
three years, so that the Governor for the
past three years did not carry out the
requirements of the constitution in this
particular. Based on this constitutional
provision a resolution has been intro
duced in the House, requesting the Gov
ernor to inform the House as soon as
possible when he last examined the
Treasurer of the State under oath, as to
the condition of the State funds intrusted
to his care, as provided by the constitu-
ton,

cular the act applies to any letters,
ordinary or registered, which con-
Germ any lottery tickets or gift en-
terprise, and to lottery tickets and
checks, money or money orders for
the purchase thereof, and to lists Of

sealed matter may be examined for
that purpose. The mailing of let
ters by citizens to lottery COM
panies is violation of the law.

apply to foreign as to domestic let
tiers, newspapers, etc. Postmasters
are instructed to decline to receive
forbidden matter, and to withdraw 1t
and send it TO the Postmaster
General if discovered in transit.
The term lottery, as used in the act,
is held to embrace all kinds of
schemes, general or local, for tho
distribution of prizes by lot or
chance, such as gift exhibitions,
enterprises, concerts, ratfles, or the
drawing of prizes in money or
property at fairs.-[ Bradstreet.
