Mrs. E. ]. Atkinson, residing in Weatherford
who has been suffering for over two years with
chronic kidney and vesical trouble has at last
found relief through the efforts OF Dr. Lansing.
She had suffered greatly in the past two years.
and at times the pain was excruciating, and no
relief could be found. She spent several hun
dred dollars in the vain effort to find relief but
none was to be given her. The doctor very
kindly told her he would take the case, but it
would probably take six months 70 effect
cure. On last Saturday she visited the Office
and said she felt like new woman. SO great
had been the relief. and in her opinion she
would be completely restored TO health in sixty
days. instead Of six months.

PIrTsBURG, Feb. 17.-This afternoon
the Allegheny River reached 80 feet IL
inches, but since then has been slowly
receding, with nearly every iron mill
flooded and closed down. The railroad
tracks are washed away. and whole
squares of streets flooded to the second
story, and thousands of cellars, filled.
The direct loss by the flood cannot fall
below a million dollars. The poor living
along the river have suffered so greatly
that appeals for aid have been issued.
The building inspectors say the flooded
districts have suffered great injury in the
way of damaged foundations.
Tonight the river has fallen several
feet, and the damage to the railroads is
being rapidly repaired.
Reports from all up-river points show
rapidly declining water, and the people
are returning to their homes to repair the
damages, which, in most cases, are far
greater than expected.
AT Johnstown the loss is great, the
foundations of many houses having been
undermined. The street-cars are running
again and the mills will open tomorrow.
The destruction of the bridges was a
serious loss, as the different sections of
the city Will have no communication bv
wagon for some time. The farming COM
munities below are heavy losers.
A dispatch from Wheeling, w. Va,
says the river is still rising tonight, but
it is reported from above to have begun
falling. The damage in Wheeling is
great. The whole Of Wheeling Island,
the Seventh Ward, is flooded, and to-
night most of its 1000 inhabitants are
sleeping in another part of the city.
In South Wheeling, hundreds of work
lngmen's houses and several factories are
inundated, and in the business center
many wholesale houses are flooded.
Business is almost entirely suspended,
no trains arriving or departing. The
depotS are under water, and the railroad
yards blockaded. The two principal ho-
tells have water on the first floor, and the
guests are obliged to go in and out of the
windows.
Reports from down the river, the glass
and pottery districts, also show heavy
losses. No loss of life, however, has vet
been reported.
IN KENTUCKY.
CATLETTsBURG (Ky.), Feb. 1S.-The Big
Sandy and Ohio Rivers have risen rapid
ly, and are doing much damage in the
lower part of town. Part of Front street
was washed out this morning, and many

PASADENA, Feb. 1S.-Nearly four
inches of rain have fallen here since Sun
day. AT present there are no signs of
clearing up. The crops and orchards are
vastly benefited.
SUsANvILLE, Feb. 1S.-Enough rain
has fallen to insure good crops and to fill
all the reservoirs. The indications, how
ever, point to a continuance of the rain
fall. Fourteen and half inches of snow
have fallen, and the mail for this place
has been somewhat delayed. The Oro-

rain was light, only 10 of an inch having
fallen. This makes a total for the week
to date of 4.20 inches, and for the season
of 9.52 inches, as against 3S.77 inches last
year. We have had sufficient for all pur-
poses so far, and the fruit prospects never
looked brighter throughout the valley.
HEAVY RAIN IN ARIZONA.
PRESCOTT, Feb. 1S.-The heaviest storm
ever known here has been raging since
Monday morning, excelling the noted
one year ago, when the Walnut Grove
dam was washed away, attended with
such loss of life. At this writing, eight
o'clock, Granite Creek is foot to a foot
and half higher than during the storms
of last February and is rising rapidly,
and rain is coming down in torrents.
Communication is shut off from all direc-
tions. No reports of damage have yet
been received, but fears are entertained
that the disaster of a year ago may be re-
peated by washing out the dam built on
Lynx Creek during the past year.
CLIFTON "a. T.), Feb. IS.-The Frisco
River is booming, and it threatens to
wash the town away. The river is rising
foot an hour. Continuing six hours at
that rate the town is doomed.
LATER.--The river is still rising. The
suspension bridge opposite the depot has
been swept away. People living close to
the river have abandoned their abodes
Great apprehension is felt. AS yet the
damages are light.

LIQUOR LAWS DISREGARDED.
Wholesale Dealers Fined for Alleged
CrOokef!neSS


SAN FRANCISCO Feb. 1S.-Revelations
published few days ago concerning Of
fenses committed against the liquor laws
by wholesale dealers throughout the
State, have not been without a salutary
effect. a number of dealers who did not
care to be ranked in the criminal cate
CORY, made haste to seek the revenue
agent and adjust the possible delinquen-
cies. Nearly $4,000 has been paid in by
dealers whose goods had been seized.
Since the revenue officers commenced
their Investigations, over seven hundred
barrels of whisky have been seized be-
cause of various frauds discovered in
their connection. Either the warehouse
dates have been changed, as in the case of
fifty barrels seized in this city, or the
stamps have not been erased, and in in
stances these barrels have been filled the
second time. 1t was learned that in this
city alone twenty wholesale dealers have
been called to account for breaking the
laws. They have been fined in every
case from 500 to $500, in proportion to the
gravity of their off'ense.
Throughout the State fully fifty dealers
have been fined. Not one offender has
been dealt with in the courts. 1t appears
that it is left to the discretion of the
United States District Attorney to make
arrests upon reports furnished by rev.
enue agents. The Investigations are still
continuing

MERGED, Feb. ls.-Three yeas ago.
Samuel Ransome, then resident of Ari-
zona, advertised in Tucson paper for a
wife. A young lady residing in Mari
posa County, Miss Coonie Mcclure, in q
spirit of mischief, answered the notice,
having seen the paper by accident.
But Ransome meant business. He was
wealthy but lonely, and came direct to
MERGED, where he made inquiries as to
the residence of Miss Mcclure. He
reached her fathers farm next day after
leaving Merced, and astonished the fam
lily, and particularly the young lady who
wrote the letter, by announcing his name
and business. He was young, good-look-
ing and wealthy. The young lady suited
him, and Ransome himself was the sort
OF man to take the eye Of the fair sex.
AT all events, they were married next
day, and left at once for Arizona. They
lived happily there until the birth of a
child, whose coming into the world cost
Mrs. Ransom her life. Ransom brought
his infant to Mariposa, and placed it with
the grandparents, where it now is. He
engaged in the stock business in the
neighborhood, and was liked by every
one. but his love for his dead wife was
sincere. and he never recovered his
spirits.
Last Tuesday morning he complained
OF feeling very badly, having had an at
tack of la grippe. His brother-in-law
having had occasion to pass his house,
noticed Ransom lying down. Calling
him, and receiving no answer, he APP
preached nearer, and found him with a
H-calibre Smith & Wesson pistol in his
hand, and bullet-hole in his temple. He
was still alive and gasping for breath, but
died a few minutes later.
His child is now 2 years of age, and as
far as known is his only heir. There ap-
pears to have been no reason whatever
for the suicide, aside from the deep grief
of the deceased over the loss of his wife.

The Revenue Department Investigate
ing Alleged Wrongs.
WASHINGTON, Feb. commissioner
of Internal Revenue Mason has received
a letter to-day from Professor Hilgard,
chemist at the California State University,
concerning the mistake the Professor
claims to have discovered in the depart
ment tables relating to the fortification of
sweet wines. The letter gives more fully
information relating to the mistakes he
claims to have occurred in compounding
the weight and volume in giving the per
cent. of alcohol to be used in fortifying
wines.
1t is understood that the letter con-
tanned the chemistry formula on the sub
ject, which has caused a ripple in the
chemical department.
Mason being asked if he had directed a
further Investigation by the department,
said that he had, and indicated that he
was not altogether satisfied. He added
that he had the utmost confidence in
Richards, his chemist, but anyone with
so much work was likely to make mis-
take, and no one should hesitate to admit
it when brought to his attention. He
said he had directed Richards and his
assistants to go over the whole matter
thoroughly, and they went to work soon
after the California letter arrived to-day
1t is understood that Commissioner
Mason has submitted the matter to COM
petent outside chemists for an investiga-
ton, desiring to investigate the matter
thoroughly, and fearing that the depart
ment chemists would not be as likely to
discover their own mistake as some one
employed especially to make report
which would involve their own reputa-
ton.
The commissioner was much more in

Escaping Gas Causes the Death of a
Salinas Farmer.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 1S.-Claus Greye
| wealthy young rancher, arrived in this
city yesterday evening, accompanied by a
young lady whom he registered as Mrs.
A. Greve, at the Prescott House, at the
corner of Kearny street and New Mont
gomery avenue.
The pair registered from Salinas, as they
had done or several previous visits to this
city. They had always stopped at the
Prescott Hotel, and the impression pre-
vailed there that the young lady was a
niece of the Salinas ranchman
1t has been their custom to occupy adj
Joining apartments, and this time the
clerk assigned them rooms 80 and 33.
which connect with each other by COM
municating door.
About O'Clock last night they retired
to the apartments named. At o'clock
this morning chambermaid ran wildly
into the hotel office, her face blanched
and her eyes staring. She exclaimed that
the occupants of room 33 had attempted
suicide, and both were living on the he'd
in the last throes of DEATH
The clerk and his assistants hurried nm
the stairs four steps at time, and found
the upper hallway filled with gas. 1t was
easy TO trace the escaping current to the
room designated by the chambermaid
The door was broken in and the man
and woman were found lying on the same
bed, both unconscious and apparently
dying.
The gas-cock was turned on at about
half-head, and everything tended to show
that what had at first appeared to be an
act OF suicide was an accident, pure and
simple. The communicating door be-
tween the two rooms was half open, and
no effort had been made to plug up the
chinks and keyholes, as is usually done
by suicides.
DIR. Bunker, of the Receiving Hospital,
was at once summoned, and after brief
examination said that Greve could not
live more than half an hour, though the
woman had a fair chance of recovery,
She was Immediately moved to a room
across the hall, and DR.. Bunker, with the
AID OF the attendants, gave all his atten-
ton to the dying man.
The surgeons prognosis was correct.
Greve died at 1870 o'clock, at which time
the woman was rapidly regaining con-
sciousness.
The case was at once reported to the
Coroner, and Greves body was taken to
the morgue. He was handsome man.
probably So years old, and had about him
every appearance of prosperity.
His girl companion is rather good look
ing, OF decidedly blonde type.

BANK FAILURE.

The American Loan and Trust Com
pany Closes it's Doors.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The American
Loan and Trust Company has just closed
its doors. The immediate cause of the
failure was the demand for a large
amount of money, made by savings
bank of this city which the Trust Com
pany could not meet. The Bank Exam
iner states that he gave no order to close
the doors and the general feeling seems
to be that the company will pay deposit
ors in full and have a balance left.
This evening Bank Examiner Preston
| said: This closing of the bank was
brought about by unexpected demands
mande by certain savings banks. The
amount which it was asked to pay was
between SOC, 600 and 100000. The COM
pany had not this amount, and while the
officers were discussing what had better
be done, L came here, ascertained the
facts and took possession. When the
business was figured up last Friday the
assets We're, g, ,l6S, ,03S; the amount loaned
on collaterals was s., 132, $50; value of col
laterals as figured out, S1,5l3,537. The
apparent deficiency is 1856, ,7S0.
Since the suspension to-day" said
Mr.. Preston, II have been waited upon
by influential men, and have reason to
believe that it is possible that certain Sc
curities which estimated at low figure
may be paid in full. If this is done the
deficiency will be reduced to $4,000. /
believe, then. that the remainder will be
made good by the stockholders, and the
institution may be placed on its feet L
am confident the depositors will be paid
in FULL
The Attorney-General instituted pro-
ceedings to-day for the appointment of a
receiver. The indications of tomorrow
will decide whether the suit will be pros
ecuted.
