The cold wave was one of the most dam

Der OF years. and the truck farmers and
fruit growers are out thousands Of dollars
In consequence.
The truck farms around Savannah suf-
fered severely. The pea crop is almost a
total loss. 1t was well up and advanced.
Maj. Ryals and Lewis Ryals, Fell & Jones,
and John Schley had many acres planted In
pease. aud their loss is quite heavy item in
this alone, besides the other crops which
voEc affected. The potatoes which had
made their appearance above ground we're
cut down, but great many of these are ex-
pected to come up again. Lettuce and
beams, which were up pretty well, are also
severely injured, but lucky for
he farmers it is not too late to plant again.
Cabbages and radishes we're also oonsidera-
bly, nlpped, and in fact everything in the
tuck line which had come up was more or
less injured.
The leach crop will no doubt be affected

Bruton Hill. None Of the men had a pistol
to shoot the fugitive, and when Sergt
Baughn arrived Williams had disappeared
behind the Savannah Guano Compauy's
works. Sergt Lingg came up about the
same time with Detective Morgan and
Policeman Haines and the four
officers started in pursuit on the
trail Of the murderer. Williams had too
much of a start on them, however, and
they failed to locate him. although they
went as far as Bruton Hill and searched all
the negro houses in that locality.
The supposition is that Williams has gone
to Tybee, and hunt will be made for him
at the island to-day.

TELEPHONE EXTENSION,
How Sacramento is Related by TIE
phone to Interior and Coast.

How Sacramento is Related by TeIe-
phone to Interior and Coast.
Some weeks ago Superintendent
Brown, of this division of the Sunset Tel
ephone Company, announced the inten-
ton of his company to more rapidly push
telephone extension in this section. Very
shortly after that the Antelope office was
opened, then came the building of the
line to Marysville, next the opening of an
office at Pleasant Grove on that line.
Now he says the line has been completed
to Chico, and offices established at the
chief stations between Chico and Marys-
vile. The line to OroVille from Marys-
vile is, we learn from central" nearly
ready for public use, and to stations be-
tween those points. Another line is being
built into Colusa County, in addition to
that already running north by way of
Woodland.
Sacramento is now well related by tele-
phone to nearly all the central region of
the State: South as far as Turlock and
with all chief intermediate points, and
branches to knights Ferry, Pennington,
Clements and Costumes; east to Repressa,
Folsom, Orangevale and intermediate
points between Sacramento and Folsom;
southeast from Stockton to San Jose.
Santa Cruz, Boulder Creek, Monterey,
Tres PinoS, and from LiYermore to San
Leandro and Oakland and intermediate
points. From San Jose to Irvington,
Haywards and Oakland On the north
side of the river to Davisville, Benicia
and San Francisco and connections up
the Napa and Sonoma Valleys and to the
coast at Olema and Bolinas. Down river
to Walnut Grove and Rio Vista. North
Of the river from Davisville to ArbuckIe,
and with connections to Capay, Winters
and Vacavilie; and now, lastly, the new
lines east Of the river to Chico, Oroyille
and the branch that is to cross the river
and penetrate Colusa County.
Superintendent Brown has done great
deal in this city to improve the telephone
service and popularize the use of the lines
and make it pleasant and profitable to use
this means of communication. What
ever public commentator he gets for
himself or the company he serves, comes
unsolicited and as the natural result of
earnest and untiring effort TO deserve
well at the hands of customers. Such
certainly is the disposition of the RECORD
UNIoN-to award the official frank justice
for good work in giving the public the
best opportunities to use with comfort an
instrument of such great value as thG
telephone is.

FLOODS AT CHICAGO.
Prospect That the Water VIII Soon
Recede.

IroSpecC 1naC the water VIII Soon
Recede.
CHICAGO, June 27.-The floods in this
vicinity has been at standstill to-day,
and there is a prospect of it receding
soon. The damage in the vicinity of
Grand Crossing and South Chicago, as
well as in the western and northwestern
suburbs, is very great. Some physicians
fear much sickness will result from the
filling of Easements.
There are thousands of houses filled
with water, and the formation of sWamps
in the low districts is expected
In the lumber district the estimated
losses, direct and indirect, will be half a
million dollars. Between two and three
thousand men are out of employment Tor
at least week.
The current in the river is still exceed
ingly rapid, rendering it impossible to
move vessels with safety. AS q conse-
quence at least 300 vessels of various
kinds will be tied up in the lower part of
the river and the inner harbor for several
days at great expense. Vessel men say
the loss to them will reach probably $780,
900. This includes damage TO vessels,
expenses of keeping them here idle, losses
OF possible cargoes, etc.
The city water supply is polluted by
sewage from the river having reached the
crib, and considerable apprehension is
felt lest much sickness will follow.

NEW YORK, June 27.-Max Clergett,
aged Is, was shot and instantly killed in
the Court of General Sessions this morn
ing by Edwin Divin. Clergett was ar
raigned on charge ofcriminalIy assault
ing Divin's 15-year-old sister Sarah and
pleaded guilty. He was remanded for
sentence, and as he walked toward the
prisoners pen Diviu arose, and holding a
derringer at Clergett's breast, fired before
he could be restrained. The victim fell
dead instantly. The courtroom was in
confusion, the women screaming and
neelng, and the men endeavoring to
reach the murderer and victim. Divin
was very collected and went out with two
policemen. In the corridor he became
hysterical and cried aloud for his sister,
He was taken before the Coroner and
committed at once. He refused to make
any statement.
General sympathy was expressed for
Divin, whose brain is thought to have
been turned by the ruin of his sister. The
court adjourned for the day.
Hardly had the excitement caused by
Clergett's murder subsidized, when another
scene interrupted trial in the same
building. The case of John HE'D, charged
with assaulting an eight-year-old girl,
had just closed, when man in the audi

got rope: who's got a rope" He was
quickly bounced upon by officers and
taken from the building, but not arrested.
He explained that his little daughter has
charge of a similar character pending
against the man, and his feelings were

PARIS, June 27.-Jefferson Coolidge.
the American Minister, informs Minister
OF Foreign Affairs Ribot that Captain
Borup admits having paid for secret
official documents, but declares in so
doing he only followed the example of
all military attaches. Ribot declared that
Borup deserved censure for attempting
to corrupt an official in order 10 possess
State secret, the offense rendering him
liable to prosecution if he was not in the
diplomatic service. Coolidge expressed
deep regret at the occurrence. The
American Legation cabled to Washington
asking the authorities to recall Captain
Borup. Captain Borup has apparently
lost his head. and has given several con-
Trajectory versions of the affair to the re-
porters. Detectives are watching the
residence Of Captain Borup and the doors
of the American Legation.
BoRUP RECALLED.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Captain Borup
has been recalled from his position at.
Paris.
The officials do not believe Captain
Borup guilty of the charges against him
and the recall is said to be due altogether
to the request of the French Government
and in the interests OF harmony. The re-
port that First Lieutenant William a.
Glassford Of the Signal Corps has been
selected to succeed Borup is incorrect.
