In Honor of Judge Mari.

In view of the fact that the late
Judge R. H. Mari, of New Orlaens,
was the leading attorney in the de-
Tense of the Grant parish prison
ers, it is suggested that it is most
fitting and obligatory that those
who were SO greatly served by his
generous action should join in q
tribute to his memory. Capt. G. c.
Nash, of Colfax, Dr.. M. A. Dunn,
of Montgomery, and Mr.. Jno. P.
Hadnot, of ward two, are named
as appropriate parties to take lead
in the matter, and Saturday June
4th, is fixed as the day for them
and all others interested in the
Grant parish troubles to assemble
at Colfax and pass resolutions of
respect and coincidence.

The Raging River.

Since our issue of last week the
condition of the water in Red river
has given rise to grave apprehen-
sions of an overflow. At that time
we had hopes that the river would
lack 3 or A feet of reaching the
stage of 1890, but later reports
show that it will go fully up to the
mark of that year, and perhaps 2
or 3 inches over it. This is most
unwelcome news, but it is best that
the truth should be known as soon
as possible, SO that all may pre-
pare to meet the emergency. An
extensive inquiry and investigation
into former records leads to the
universal opinion that the high
water mark of 1890 will be reach
ed, if not exceeded a few inches.

SALTILLo, Mex, Nov. 27.-The mayor
OF Arteaga, a town 40 miles southeast of
here, arrived here this morning and re-
lates thrilling accident that occurred
at Artesga, yesterday, and the object of
his visit was to secure medical aid for

great event of the week was postponed
until yesterday, when four wild bulls
were turned into the ring at once.
About 4 O'Clock, when over 5000
spectators were present, the bull
fighters took their places and the
animals were turned into the arena.
After working the bulls into state of
frenzy matador attempted to kill the
first bull. The wounds were not fatal,
and the believing and wild capers of the
wounded animal stampeded the others,
and they made united rush against the
barricade made for the protection of the
spectators. The barricade gave way and
the bulls rushed frantically into the
crowd, tossing the people right and left.
In the height of the excitement the
eeats collapsed and tnlly 30 people sus.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27.-Shipping in
San Francisco bay had lively time last
night and today. The weather has been
stormy for the past few days, and last
night before midnight furious gale
commenced which seemed to increase in
intensity until nearly noon today. Then
the wind began to go down, but there
was still heavy gale on at p. m. AT
o'clock this afternoon the wind was
blowing "a miles an hour from the
southwest. and during the early morn
ing it's velocity must have been much
greater. Outside the heads the weather
and the sea were 80 bad that no ships
left port. and there were only ole or
two arrivals of steamers. Even in the
sheltered bay the sea was unprecodent-
edly heavy. Ships were torn from tleir
anchorages and knocked together, and
those lying at the wharves were bal ged
up considerably. Tugs were in great
demand to pull collidiDg vessels az art.
There was score of accidents, but so
far as is reported there was no loss OF
life.
The British ship Stronsa and the ship
Occidental dragged their anchors and
fouled each other in the stream. The
damage was slight, however, aud they
coon drifted apart. The British ships
Talisman and Manchester, which were
at anchor in the stream, drifted toge, her
and before they were hauled apart by
tugs damaged each other considerably.
The British chip Nereus broke adrift
from her berth at the long wharf, Oak
land, and fouled the British ship
Benicia and the schooner Laura Pike.
All three were severely damaged and
had to be cleared by tugsa The long
wharf became unsafe, and the ship Are
thusa was pulled out into the stream,
where che dropped anchor. The
schooner Maria q. Smith collided wi d
ecow in Mission bay. The Harrison
street wharf was badly shaken by seas
going clear over it. The whaling bark
William Bayle lost one of her anchors
and went sailing down the bay. Sac
dropped another anchor in time tc AVE
her from further injury.
The wind was accompanied by pelt-
ing rain which fell steadily for nearly IL
hours. The indications for tonight are
that there will be more rain and more
wind.
The telegraph wires are in bad shape,
and for short time San Francisco was
cut off from communication with most
of the outside world.
