ALL THE RIVERS FALLING.
But There Is Still Danger Along tn,
Mississippi-TheD Damage In Iowa.

Mississippi-TheD Damage In Iowa.
CANTON, o., May ia heavy rain and
wind storm passed over this city last
evening. The rainfall was Unprecedented.
The streets were flooded and today are
almost impossible. while cellars in the
lower part of the city are filled with water.
The railroads leading into the city are
inundated and trains delayed.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE storm the
effect of which is causing such destruction
along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers
reached here this evening, rendering in
visible the partial eclipse Of the moon.
PITTsBURG. May IA heavy storm last
night played great havoc with the Cleve-
land q Pittsburg road. Passengers from
Central Ohio say waterspout must have
swept over the section south Of Cleveland,
as the storm was one of unusual severity,
and there were indications of great dam
age at various points.
NEW ORLEANS. May 1.-The river here
today is two feet lower than at the same
time yesterday. A break twenty feet wider
has occurred at Bonsecour, ON the east bank
ofthe river thirty-four miles below the city.
A train load of material was sent at once.
1t is thought the force on the ground will
be sufficient to cope with the diff
Guilty. Much apprehension is felt
concerning some of the levees
under water below here, both
on the east and west banks. and they are
not considered to be in very safe condition
Unless a crevasse occurs at some point
above New Orleans disastrous break in
some of the lower coast levees is seriously
feared.
QUINCY, ILL.,. May 1.-THE waters are
subsiding, and it is believed the worst of
the flood is over. The country is thor
oughly devastated and all the work done
last fall and spring is ruined. Many
farmers lost a number of cattle, hogs and
horses, but no losses of houses or lives are
reported.
is subsiding slowly. A fall of fifteen
inches has been SO far registered,
and all the small streams are still
out of the banks. No further damage
is apprehended, except from more rain,
which is threatened. No effort to repair
the destruction has yet been made. 1t
will be nearly month before planting can
be done in many places.
OTTAWA, ILL.,, May 1.-The Illinois and
Fox rivers entered their banks again
Monday and since then all the
manufacturing institutions in the
inundated district have resumed
operations. Vacant homes have been re-
entered and hab:tations re-established.
The worst feature of the inundation is
the large quantities Of refuse left
on the overhowed lands. While
large amount is quicksand, enough soft,
plastic substance Is found at intervals to
brand it as sediment from Chicago sewage
Those inclined to sensationalism
prophesy an epidemic, but this view
is not sustained by the general
public, the almost universal opinion being
that there is absolutely no cause for alarm.
The rains of the past forty-eight hours
have not perceptibly increased the volume
of water, and all fears of further devasta-
ton have been sienced

Gray anchored 100 years ago, and Indians
with painted faces came out in canoes,
bringing salmon, just as they met Captain
Gray. Numerous vessels steamed around
and saluted the Columbia. The Columbia
answered the salute by dipping her en-
sign, while cheers went up from
the crowd. A flag was then presented
to the vessel by Mrs. NJ. J. Kinney, of AS
toria. Three cheers were given rs the flag
was hoisted to the mizzen truck. The
anchor was then weighed. the ladies of
the party manning the capstan. The Co
lumbia then proceeded on her voyage to

and Baltimore were passed they saluted
with a tremendous chorus. Amid the
whistling of the steamers, mingled
with the thunder of cannon from
the men-of-war and the batteries
on shore, the dipping Of flags, the cheer
ing of thousands and the waving of hats
end handkerchiefs the Columbia arrived
at the dock.

POLICE COURT CASES

A Mexican Patriot Comes to Grief
100 Days for Fred welch.
j. n. Brown, the Mexican, charged by
corpulent Chinaman named All Coon
with battery, was in the Police Court
yesterday.
All Coon was the only witness exam
lned, and he testified that he was on
Third street when Brown came up and
commenced to ''fght'' him. According
to Coon, Brown struck him on the head.
knocked him down, and then kicked
him in the side. All Coon said he did
not talk any to Brown, and didn't know
whats s'matter.''
Brown pleaded that he was drunk and
could not remember what he had done.
Judge Cravens told him that this was
no excuse, and just in order to remind
him that he shouldn't get crazy drunk,
he hned him Sl5 or seven and half days
in jail.
George Johnson appeared for sentence,
but he had secured an attorney, who filed
motion for new trial on various
grounds. The motion was granted, and
the case set for next Wednesday.
Fred Welch pleaded, before being SEN
fenced, that he was not a yagrant nor a
common drunkard. The evidence against
him showed differently, however, and
the court thought he should have a
guardian. Judge Cravens said the County
jail would be good guardian for him in
the absence of a better one, and sentenced
him to 100 days.
Jack Short, who helped the Mexican
celebration by getting as drunk as he
could, was fined 50 for his recreation.

THE CONTROLLER WINS.
Ramie superintendent Murray Cannot
Draw His Salary.


Draw His Salary.
In the case of w. II. Murray, Superin-
tendent OF Ramie Culture, against State
Controller Colgan, which was decided ad-
versely to the plaintiff not long ago, the
Supreme Court has affirmed the judg-
ment of the Superior Court.
The Controller refused to draw war
rants for Murray's salary on the ground
that the Act creating the office of Super
lntendent of Ramie Culture was uncon-
stitutiOnal! Murray then applied to the
superior Court of Sacramento County for
a writ of mandate requiring the Con-
troller to draw warrant for the payment
Of appellants salary.
A demurrer to the application was sus-
tanned by the lower court on the sole
ground that the appropriation for the pay
ment OF the salary was in violation of
Section 81 of Article ". of the Constitu-
ton, which provides that no bill making
an appropriation of money, except the
general appropriation bill, shall contain
more than one item of appropriation, and
that for one single and certain purpose to
be therein expressed.
The Supreme Court holds that the Act
providing for the cultivation of ramie
contained more than one specific appro-
prlatlon, and that the lower court Gid
right in sustaining the demurrer.
Ihe Judgment is therefore affirmed.

FOLGOM'S BRIDGE TUMBLES.
The Structure Over the American
Hanging by One Gable.
Luckily No One Was Upon It at the
Time-The Cause is Something
of Mystery.

News was received from Folsom yes
terday to the effect that the suspension
bridge which crosses the American River
at that point had given away and was i'm
passable.
Later in the day Road Overseer Samuel
Boyd of Folsom arrived in town, and,
going before the Board of Supervisors,
which was in session at the time, made
an official report of the matter. One of
the two heavy cables to which the bridge
is swung had, he said, parted near the
anchorage on the Folsom side of the
river, and the bridge is now hanging by
the remaining cable.
OF course 1t is impossible to cross the
river on the structure now, and a tenn
porary ferry has been improvised by the
citizens of that locality to accommodate
persons who have to cross the stream.
What caused the break is not known
Mr.. Boyd said the damage was first noted
when the FolsoElites arose from their
beds yesterday morning, indicating that
the accident had occurred during the
night. 1t is not believed that anyone was
on the bridge when the cable parted. The
structure hangs some 150 feet above the
bed of the river, and it would have been
sure death to any one who fell, the water
being quite shallow at that point and the
bed rocky.
Mr.. Boyd said that the recent frost
might have contracted the cable until it
bursted. Some thought that the late
earthquake shocks Jared the fastenings
and made them unsafe, but he thought
that the frost theory was the most plausi-
ble.
Chairman Greer Of the board said that
there would be no delay about attending
to the bridge. He instructed Mr. Boyd
to telegraph to Folsom and have both ap-
proaches to the bridge blockaded so as to
prevent accidents.
Mr.. Greer then appointed committee,
consisting of Supervisors Bates, Jenkins
and Miller, TO go to Folsom Monday
with an expert and see what can be done.
He promised TO accompany the commit
tee himself if possible.
Mr.. Boyd and several other Folsomites
who came to Sacramento yesterday, told
RECoRD-UNIoN reporter that it would
be useless to attempt to repair the old
bridge. They had been exspecting it to
tumble down for several years, and never
felt safe upon it. They insist that nothing
short of a new bridge will do-which
means an expense to the county of
numerous thousands ofdollars.
