NORTH DAKOTA DELUGED.
Much Damage Done to Railroads and
Crops by Rain.

Crops by Rain.
ST.. PAUL, Minn., July 12.-Pioneer
Press specials from various points in
North Dakota report heavy rains during
the past forty-eight hours, which caused
many washouts on railroads and much
destruction of property.
A special from Mandon, N. D., says:
Between three and four hundred west
bound passengers on the Northern Pa
cifc stopped here today. The tremen-
dous rains of last night washed out
large number OF small bridges and cul-
verts, and portions of the track west OF
here. All the bridges gone are small
ones, those of the Heart river being
all intact. The Heart river is running
bank full, and has been rising
during the forenoon. In town most of
the sidewalks are floated along the
streets; numbers of cellars are full, and
a good deal of damage has been done.
The rain extended from west of Medora
to jamestown, and poured in torrents for
several hours. This supposed arid Sec
ton has enough rain to ensure bounteous
crops.
Dickinson, N. d., reports: The rain
last night was worse than at first sup
posed. Crews of track repairers have
been working all day repairing heavy
washouts. Westbound passengers can
not arrive here before Monday. The
streams are rising rapidly, and it has
commenced raining again. Farmers will
sustain damage from lodged grain.

A DISASTROUS LANDSLIDE.
One White Woman and Forty Indians
Killed.

NANAIMo, B. c., July 12.-News has
been received here OF landslide on the
banks of the Skeena river, at the North
Pacific cannery, resulting in the death
of one white woman and forty Indians.
Early in the morning of July 9TH, nine
houses with their occupants were swept
away. Thirteen bodies have been re-
covered.
Early in the morning a great rushing
noise was heard in the direction of the
high steep mountain at the back of the
cannery. In moment an avalanche Of
rocks and earth and trees was upon the
doomed settlement, carrying everything
before it into slough close by the can
merry. The occupants of the houses had
time to get outside the buildings, but
before they could escape from the ad-
yancing torrent of debris they were
caught and carried along at fearful
velocity. The body of the foreman's
wife has not yes been found, but there
is not the slightest hope for any living
thing within range of the terrible slide
of boulders, trees and earth. The slide
just missed the cannery building about
two feet. Had it struck the cannery,
the death roll would have reached into
hundreds.

BIRMINGHAM. Conn.,, July 12.-Hunt.
ington Center is still greatly agitated
over the action of the sexton and warden
Of st. Paul's Episcopal church in havir 8
Olin P. Shelton arrested for ringing the
church bell on July 4th, ard
the sexton and warden are the
subjects OF much ridicule.- All the
patriotic citizens and all the women
and girls OF the town are on Shelton's
side. The first outburst occurred this
morning, when the proprietors of the
hall informed the warden that the
church could never again rent the hall
for any purpose unless the charges
against Shelton were withdrawn. The
hext shot came from the young ladies of
NE church, who are all friends of Shell
ton, and who informed the pastor
that they would never again as
sist in any church entertainment
unless the charges were with
drawn. Then the village barber said he
would never again shave either the
warden or the sexton unless the charges
we're withdrawn. As consequence the
warden has withdrawn his complaint,
but the sexton is still obdurate. Shelton
ia out on bail, and is receiving congrat-
ulatory letters and kilograms and offers
f0r help from lawyers.

A Firebug at Yacaville.

VACAvILLE, CAL, July 12.-The Sec
ond, but first successful incendiary fire
of the week occurred last night at II
o'clock, totally destroying a building
worth $2500. The building was located
in the center of the fruit shipping
houses, and but for the absence OF wind
would have destroyed the entire fruit
shipping facilities of the town. The cir
cumstances point to the fire being the
work of the same party who caused the
fires in September and November last
year, and who returned Tuesday, when
an attempt.was made to burn the Platt

WILSON GOES TO PRISON.
Sentenced to Serve Five Years and to Pay
Fine of $1,000.

Sentenced to Serve Five Years and to Pay
Fine of $1,000.
The New Y ork Morning Advertiser says:
Sylvester F. Wilson, manager of female
baseball clubs, had a disastrous 'inning"
in Part l., General Sessions, yesterday.
Before Judge MARITIME, as impartial um-
pire, the game had been played, and
Judgment" asked for. Lawyer Clark
Bell kicked and argued in true Adrian
G. Arson style, but his words had no eff
feet and all his motions were denied The
statement that Manager Wilson would
sign lifelong personal contract with
Libbie Sutherland, one of his players,
whom he was accused of abducting, fell
upon deaf ears. In rendering his de-
cision Judge MARITIME said:
"Wilson, since the trial of your case I
have given much consideration to it, and
as to what would be fair punishment
l have looked at the case in every form
in an endeavor to find what you hoped |
would tfnd-some mitigating circumstan-
ces. But I've been unable to find any.
Your proposition continued Judge
Mar;iue, with great earnestness, "that
you should be permitted to marry this
child is infamous and inhuman. To. give
this child 10 you would be to give her to
a moral ltaper, and would be to consent
to something to which | would never
COUNT nsnce. That you are the sort of
man who would commit such an offense
as that Of which the jury declared you
guilty is evident from what has been
learned of your character. You chose
girls, too, who had parents who did not
look after or protect their children, or
who had no parents. If / were to ex-
tend clemency to you it would be to say
that man may do with women or girls
as he pleases.
The sentence of the court is that you
be confined in the state prison for term
Of FIVE years, and that you pay fine of
$1,000, to be confined one day for each
dollar of the fine unpaid"
Wilson did not say a word. The
crowd in quiet way expressed its
opinion that Wilson had been properly
dealt with. Lawyer Bell will move to
set aside the conviction, and for a new
trial as he can obtain transcript of the
evidence in the case.

City of New York came up to her dock
this morning two days behind the usual

conflict with strong headwinds and tur-

purser said: "We had very rough
weather, but the ship did no: feel the ef-
fects of it in the least. Not so much as
a strand of cordage is ruffied."" 1t was
so rough that Pilot Robert E. Butler, Of
Queen stown, who took the big ship out
the harbor, was unable to leave her and
so he was brought across the ocean. He
seemed rather to enjoy his enforced va
cation though regretting the loss of val
