SACRAMENTO, April 21.-Concerning
the rumor that Governor Waterman had
decided to withdraw from the guberna-
torial contest, Secretary Boruck said to-
day: "It is fact that Governor Water
man is not a candidate for reelection,
and will not be. He has had the sub
ject under consideration for at least two
months, and has been ready at any
time during that period to make the
announcement"
Secretary Boruck said business consid-
erations prompted the Governor to re-
tire from the canvass, as his private and
business interests had suffered materi-
ally since he had been in the Governors
office.
''Is he in favor of any particular can.
didate for Governor" was asked.
"No; emphatically no." was the re-
ply:
"Will the Governor return to San Ber.
nardino at the close of his term?"
Gas to that, 1 cannot say. The Gov
ernor has long had desire to establish
banking institution in ,San Francisco
with a capital of 81, 100000, and I am
under the impression that he will turn
his attention to that"

WENT UP THE FLUE.
A Chambermaid's Novel Experience at
Spokane Falls.

SPOKANE FALLS, Wyo., April 21.-A
most remarkable, and what might have
proved, fatal accident, occurred late
yesterday afternoon at the new Hotel
Spokane, which is to be thrown open to
the public next Wednesday, One of the
chambermaids, named Annie Martin,
was caught up by the wings of the large
ventilating fan in the kitchen and car
ried up the escape pipe as far as the sec
ond story, where she was wedged fast by
her clothing. After locating her precise
position, the pipe was cut open and the
girl was taken out. She was badly
frightened, but otherwise uninjured
The ventilating apparatus is to carry
the fumes from the Kitchen which is
located in the basement, up through a
large sheet-iron pipe which connects
with the fan and runs up outside the
building to the roof. The fan is huge
affair, ten feet across. At the time of
the accident it was being tested, and
was making 1900 revolutions per
minute.

BAYOU SARA, La, April 2l.-The levee
gave way at the foot of Fountain street
at an early hour this morning. A gen
eral alarm was sounded, and all the
people turned out, and after hard work
closed the break. 1t was soon found,
ming over the front levee, and nothing
could be done to check it. Tremendous
confusion ensued. Every boat and raft
was brought into requisition. Lanterns
could be seen everywhere, and cries and
shouts of men, women and children,
working to save their effects, could be
heard in every direction. Not house
in town has escaped nundation, and
from daybreak until evening it has been
raining hard The loss will be consid-
cradle, as food and destruction meet
the eye at every point. Two other
crevasses developed during the day, and
altogether the prospects for Bayou Sara
are not encouraging for early relief from
the flood.
New ORLEANS, La, April 21.-Reports
from up the river today are again
gloomy. 1t has been raining today, and
the river is rising at nearly all points,
but no serious apprehensions are yet in
dulged in. No breaks are reported, ex-
cept the one at Bayou Sara, but Pine
Bluff, Arkansas, reports that the water
will almost surely overflow the cotton
territory in the Northeast.
A gale has driven the gulf water into
Lake Pontchartrain to such an extent
that the tide water has covered the
shell roads leading to Spanish Fort and
West End, and also submerged the
sparsely settled sections of the north
eastern suburbs of this city, doing some
damage to gardens, etc. About noon
today the levee gave way just above the
sugar house on Hon. T. S. Wilkinson's g
Myrtle Grove plantation. In twenty
minutes the break was 800 feet wide,
and the water was pouring through in
an irresistible torrent. The break is
some thirty miles below the city. The
right bank was pretty high, and much
damage will result from the crevasse.

Wadhams has silenced Father Peter j.

church, at Lowville, New York, and sus-
pended him from the priestly office, on
account of acts unbecoming priest
The cause of complaint against him was
as to his method of assessing the con-
gregation and extorting money from
them. The trouble was brought to a
climax when the priests demand upon
lady of the congregation for her share
of certain assessment was refused
Father Ryan became angry and struck
her in the face with prayer book, and

the Board of School Land Commits
sioners to restrain them perpetually from
selling some 1000 acres of swamp and

the ninety days notice required by the
former act. McConaughy purchased
under the latter conditions.

A LUCKY MURDERkss.
Roasted Her Husband and is Entitled to
His Insurance..

CHICAGO, April 21.-The Appellate
Court rendered decision today in the
somewhat noted case of Mrs. Maggie
Schreiner against the high court of the
Illinois Catholic Foresters, to recover
81 1000 for the death of her husband,
whose clothing she saturated with coal
oil, and then set fire to it, causing his
death. Mrs. Schreiner at the time
pleaded guilty to manslaughter, and is
now serving term in Joliet. On the
first trial the lower court held that she
was not entitled to the money, because
the killing was willful murder. The Ap-
pellate Court held that her plea of guilty
cannot be used in civil proceedings, and
that she is entitled to show that the
killing was unintentional.
