SABINE PASS, TEX.
An Appropriation of s25O.OOO for Making
Deep Water Harbor There.


Deep Water Harbor There.
WASHINGTON, March l5.-A number
of representatives from states in the
Transmississippi country appeared be-
fore the river and harbor committee of
the house to urge an increased appro-
priation for the completion of the deep
water harbor at Sa bine pass, Tex. They
said that the harbor at Sabine pass, up
on which work has been in progress for
a number of years past, is the most
available deep-water harbor on the
gulf, offering facilities for vessels draw
ing eighteen feet of water to pass in
from the gulf, and that the completion
of the work. according to the govern
ment estimates. will cost less than that
of any improvement of like charac-
ter in the south. They presented the
claims of the northwest ,rn country for
a southern port to which the agricult-
ural products of the west could be
brought for transhipment by ocean
freight, and produced figures showing
that distance of at least from 700 to
1000 miles in railroad transportation
would be saved when the jetties at
Sabine pass are completed 1t was
stated that all the trunk lines of the
northwest were preparing to make con.
nections with Sabine as soon as the
work on the harbor was completed.
The committee decided to raise the ap-
preparation to $3.50, 900.

RUSHING WATERS
Tho Bursting OF Reservoir Causes Great
Destruction In Idaho.

~
Destruction in idaho.
BOISE, Ida, March 15.-News was re-
ceived in this city last evening that In
dian creek reservoir had broken its
rocky barriers and was sweeping down
upon ranches and villages, carrying
destruction and ruin in its path. This
reservoir was constructed of solid
masonry at the head of Indian creek;
End was heretofore thought to be a
veritable Gibraltar. Hyde s. Jackson;
New York capitalists, built the reser-
voir as a water supply for Orchard
farm, of $40 acres, that recently was
set out in Idaho prunes and bonded for
$4,000. The reservoir covered 500
acres of land and was said to contain
water sufficient to irrigate many thou
sand acres. 1t cost $500
The country between Bysuka and
Caldwell is all under water. Every
railroad bridge between Nampa and
Bysula is washed out and many miles
of railroad track submerged, which
will prevent trains from running over
the Union Pacific short line for many
days The dam broke about noon and
messengers were sent at breakneck
speed on horseback to warn settlers
and urge families to hasten to places
of safety. A mighty wall of water
came sweeping down Indian creek,
bearing on it's bosom houses, sheep,
calves, barns, farming utensils, and
submerging whole farms Citizens of
Nampa, little town on the Short line,
saw the approach of the devastating
waters and fled to higher ground.
Soon all the lower part of the town,
including the railroad tracks, was un-
der water from five to twenty feet
deep. Fifty houses at least are ruined
and many families are without shelter
and bedding.
The cause of the disaster was warm
weather, coupled with heavy rains,
which caused rapid melting of snow in
the mountains. Snake river rose eight
feet yesterday, fact unparalleled as
far as the memory of the Oldest inhab-
liant runs.

wife, and then committed suicide yes
terday morning in the church of I'M

Brady and his wife had been separated
about two years He was much dissi-
her great deal Yesterday morning
Mrs. Brady went to mass, arriving
after the services. She entered the
church and knelt down to pray near
the altar. Brady entered and took a
seat behind her. She appears to have
been unaware of his presence. No
others were in the church.
Suddenly Brady drew a pistol and
placing the weapon at the back of his
wife's head, drew the trigger. The
woman was killed instantly. Then
Brady pointed the pistol toward his
own body and fred, the ball going
through his right lung. Meanwhile
the noise of the shots had attracted
back to the church many of the mass
celebrants, and they rushed forward
to overpower Brady. He brandished
his pistol wildly and threatened to
shoot anyone who advanced. The
crowd hesitated. Then Brady placed
the pistol to his forehead and blew out
his brains.
Brady was about As years old, his
wife the same They were once well
to do. Since their domestic troubles
Brady has been out of work much OF
the time. He was probably deranged.

looking pale as corpse, ne assembled
the tower yesterday and prepared to
take the leap. Suddenly he wavered

that it was merely fainting fit, but
the doctor is doubtful of his recovery.

81 feet at Chicago.
