JOHN W. BRECKENRIDGE DEAD.

The Son of Buchanan's Vice President Be-
Iieved to Have Suicided-He Married the
Daughter of a California Millionaire
His Wild Western Career.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.-[ Special. IA
special from Merced says that John w.
Breckenridge, son of the famous Kentuckian
Vice President under Buchanan, died there
last night. His friends believe he COM
mitted suicide. He was 43 years of age.
When he came-to California eight years ago
Breckenridge was received with open arms
by leading Southern families.
He married the daughter of Lloyd Tevis,
President of the Wells-Fargo Company.
Tevis gave Brecke nridge charge of large
ranches near Merced, and he lived there
like Southern planter. He became
great favorite with the cowboys on Tevis'
ranch and soon fell into drinking and
gambling. His wife tired of this life and
obtained divorce. The fame OF Brecken-
ridges learning and eloquence spread and
he soon had more business than any lawyer
in Merced county. He was elected to the
State Legislature and could have gone to
Congress had not a personal friend ran in
his district. His career seemed made when
drink again seized him.
About this time his wife was reported
engaged to Fred Sharon, son of the silver
Senator. Breckenridge swore he would
kill Sharon. Sharon was evidently afraid,
for he was privately married and left at
once. A few months ago Breckenridge
created sensation by appearing at Lloyd
Tevis' house and demanding his three
children. When denied admittance he
swore to shoot Tevis, and the millionaire
had body guard for several days

WILL ISSUE NO BONDS.

The Official Adherents OF increasing the
City Debt Greatly in the Minority-Tak-
ing a Trip Through the East to Get
Pointers on Parks.
Mayor Gourley, Controller Morrow, Chief
Bigelow and Street Commissioner Paisley
went to New York last night to inspect
some of the park improvements there and
at Philadelphia, which may be advantage
ously adopted here. While away they will
incidentally investigate street pavements
and other municipal matters to gain infor-
nation that may later receive local appli-
cation.
A report published Yesterday stated that
the object of their visit was to determine
the propriety OF floating S., 000,0 900 of bonds,
for the issue of which the people of this
city would soon be called upon to vote in
order to make Improvements for parks, free
bridges and street pavements. The elab-
grated story was to the effect that the three
officials, the Mayor, Controller and Chief of
Public Works, favored having all these i'm
provements made at once, and that the COM
ing generations who will enjoy them pay
for them by redeeming the $5,000,0 600 of
bonds.
THE DISPATCH few months ago printed
an interview with A. f. Heating, then a
member of Select Council, who advocated
this plan of improving the city, and yester-
days publication was an elaboration of that
plan, which is favored by Chiefs Bigelow
and Brown, but is opposed by the Mayor,
Controller and other prominent men who
desire to reduce rather than increase her
debt. Before taking a train last nj ght
Chief Bigelow repudiated the interview
Tod 10 h hi ho
lief in the bond policy, and the Mayor
reiterated his oft-expressed hostility to any
unnecessary increase in the city debt The
Mayor will return from his Eastern trip on
Friday, and the others Saturday or Monday.
Regarding the refusal of Councils to ap-
prove the contract for furnishing cement to
the city by Samuel Garrison because his bus
mess partner is Common Councilman Will
liams, Mayor Gourley said yesterday that
there was nothing in the law to prevent
making such contract, but that any citi-
zen could prosecute the Councilman after
the contract was let, if evidence to show
the Councilman was an interested party
could be produced.
AS to the rejected smoke preventer con-
tract, Chief Bigelow said he had awarded
the contract to the Roney Company be-
cause they were the lowest and most respon-
sible bidders. There were only two other
bidders and their proposals were not in
accord with the law. One was higher in
price and the other was for an apparatus
not in line with the advertisement. Mr..
Bigelow says the contract will be approved.
1t is alleged that Chief Bigelow is max
ing arrangements for the purchase of
tract of land from John Fite, adjoining
Highland Park, for S65, ,OOO The chief says
he only needs part of it for the park. Fite
paid S4S, 900 tor the tract recently.

THE FLOOD GROWS WORSE.

Water Runs Over the Levees in New Or
leans-A 5OO-Foot Break in Arkansas
Floods the Countrywide Water Still
Rising.
NEW ORLEANS, May 10.-[ Special 1.-The
river outlook grows daily worse mere. An
other heavy rain fell to-day, two inches in
barely an hour. Below New Orleans the
situation is most critical. The levees
there are comparatively low and in
very precarious condition in numer-
GUS places, so that unless a ere
vase occurs above to reduce the
strain on them they can scarcely
weather the storm. The Mississippi river
rose here to-day to 16 9-10 feet above low
water, within one inch of the highest point
ever known. In March, 1890. the levee in
front of the city was strengthened and
raised some by the New Orleans Levee
Board, but notwithstanding this the water
ran over it at the foot of Canal street about
noon. 1t was carried off by the cutters,
however, and caused no damage.
The United States engineer, who is in
charge of the Government work at Nor
ganza, telegraphed to-day that the report of
Captain Delhoussaye as to the breaking of
that levee was incorrect, that it was still
lHIdcI, anu Indt no Dredk ndu YET OccuTrtu
in the line of levees above New Orleans.
This afternoon break was reported on the
Little Texas Levee in Bayou La Fourche,
four miles south of Napoleonville, the
county seat of Assumption. The break is
140 feet wide and growing wider, and, as it
is in a very fertile and thickly settled
sugar country, it is likely to do great deal
of damage to the planters, besides probably
flooding the outskirts of Napoleonyille.
In East Carroll, where the danger is re-
garded as the greatest and where the river
is already above the highest point known,
the levees are as yet quite safe, but badly
damaged by the washing of the waves. A
large force of levee guards have been ap-
pointed and are guarding the levee night
and day.
Above, in Arkansas, bad break 500 feet
wide and six feet deep is reported at the
Hunt landing, five miles above Grand Lake.
1t will flood Chicot county, Arkansas, and

ST. PETERSBURG, May 10.-A dispatch
