MILEAGE NEARLY DESTROYED.
Only Seven Buildings Left Standing
in the Business Portion-Loss $751;

900.
WATERFOWL, N. Y, March Her
man, St. Lawrence county, village of
about six hundred Inhabitants, six miles
from DeKalb Junction, was nearly wiped
out by fire early this morning. About
twenty buildings were burned, entailing
loss of upwards of $4,000. Insurance
SAC, 900, most of the losers having little in
surance and some having none. The only
apparatus for fighting the flames was
hand engine, but the water froze in the
hose and made it useless. The following
buildings were destroyed: Phelps hotel,
the Knox and johnson blocks and the
stores of J. K. Hale, Stock & Greene and
Babcock's two stores, Childes & Matteson,
j. Fl. Phelps two stores, W. G. PoppelPs,
Bass and j. B. Mclean and the stocks of
goods of Ryer, Mclean, Bass and Ladd the
Baptist church, two dwellings owned by
]. Il. Phelps and one owned by Mrs. D.
Hill, occupied by E. o. Reynolds and the
Great Northwestern Telegraph company's
Office. Several families living over the
stores lost all their possessions. Six stores
and one hotel are all that remains of the
business portion of the village. The fire
is believed to have been incendiary, and
suspicion centers on one person, who has
had many fires and whose property was
not paying him.

ference. In the house the chairman of
committee to investigate the civil service
commission alleged misconduct of Commits

on these matters before the close, in view
of the limited time and the urgency of ap-
preparation bills now in conference, are

George Hearst was born in Franklin
county, Mo-, September 3, 1920. He
graduated at the Franklin county Mining
school, in 1888, worked on his fathers
farm in his youth, and in 1850 went to
California overland, and engaged in min
ing.
He became a chief partner in the firm of
Hearst, Hogin, Tens & Co., which gained
large profits by specializing in mining
claims, and grew to the largest private
firm of mine-owners in the United States.
He acquired the reputation of being the
most expert prospector and judge of min
ing property on the Pacific coast. and
contributed to the development of the
modern processes of quartz and other
kinds of mining. He also engaged largely
in stock raising and farming, and became
the proprietor,'of the San Francisco Ex-
aminer.
He was a member of the California legis-
lature in 1865, and received the vote of the
democratic minority in 1885 for United
States senator. On March 25, 1886. he was
appointed by Governor Stoneman to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of John
B. Miller. He took his seat in the United
States senate on April 8, 1886, and served
the remainder of the term which expired
in March, 1887. When the legislature met
in January, 1887, he was elected senator
for the succeeding term.

HIGH WATER IN THE MISSISSIPPI.

BATON ROUGE, March 1.-The Mississippi
is booming here. The guage now reads
81 feet and rising. This is only five feet
lower than the high water mark of 1890,
when the high water mark was raised
HIGHER than ever before known. The top
notch of high water in 1890 was not reach
ed until April 81, and naturally great ap-
-prehension is felt here and all along the
lower Mississippi valley that there will be
a repetition of the flood of last year. That
congress should do something in this emer-
gency is strongly urged by everyone in this
section, the general opinion being that
every dollar spent now for protection
would be worth more than hundred
spent hereafter for the relief of food suf
ferers.

THE RUIN COMPLETE.

In this city the ruin has been most COM
plete, the Catholic church being the only
building left standing on the main street.
The convent and adjoining school stood
the wear of the waves for many hours, but
finally crumbled into ruins. The Yuma
Sentinel moved its Office four times and
finally succeeded in getting out on time
to-day The Times was less fortunate
and its Office and material went down in
the wreck. Many people driven from
their homes have used dry goods
boxes as miniature cottages. In the
rush of waters the steamer Mojave was
driven dry on the bank and dozen
families have taken refuge in her cabins.
The officers of Fort Yuma have done every
thing in their power to assist the sufferers
and Fortunately there is good supply OF
tents on hand and these were placed at
the disposal of the homeless.
The citizens of this city have already
subscribed over 50, 500 to a relief fund. Los
Angeles has collected about So, 600 for the
same purpose. San Francisco merchants
have subscribed literally to the fund and a
| relief train will be sent through as soon as
| the road is repaired.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, March 1.-The
Remington Paper company's largest pa
per mill about two miles below this city
was almost totally destroyed late last
night by the high water, causing about
$50, 900 damages, and killing John Muir
ply, an employe, aged es Eleven pulp
grinders, the wheels. and various other
machinery were carried down the river.
While the machinery had been shut down
for a few minutes to make some repairs
the floor suddenly began to rise, and the
whole building moved. Then with a
crash a part of the building and machinery
fell into tina river, and the roof collapsed.
The workmen rushed for the doors and all
escaped except Murphy and Thomas
Stevens, who were struck by the shaftlng
| and crushed to the floor. Stevens sue
ceeded in extricating himself and made a

probably died instantly. The accident
