The ComInonwealers From the Nutmeg
State Spend the Night in Wilmington.
Captain Sweetland's army of New
England Commonwealers, which ar
rived in Wilmington Tuesday after
noon from Chester, spent the night in
the United Labor League Hall, on
Market street between Fourth and Fifth.
The members of the army were greatly
surprised during the evening when
Captain Sweetland, the organizer of the
army appeared. The captain, who was
arrested in New York a few days, ago,
was released Tuesday morning and
made great haste TO join the army. He
was arrested for parading without per-
init. ...a... ....... ...-
He was given an ovation by the army
on his arrival in this city. The Coxeyites
slept in the Labor League Hall Tuesday
night.
Captain Sweetland stated to reporter
of The GAZETTE that he was first
thrown into limbo on May Sth, and that
the charge was parading in New York
without permit. He was afterwards re-
leased in the sum of $500 bail, he has
since appeared in Judge Fitzgerald's
Part of the general sessions court on
five different occasions he said, and was
subsequently, told to appear on June
18th. He declares his intention of test
ing the constitutionality of the New
York statute and says he will sue the
city for damages. He will endeavor to
find out, he says, whether u city ordi.
nance can abridge a mans right under
the constitution.

Destructive Floods Along the Frazer
River, in British CUlumbia--Eight Lives
Known to Have Been Lost and Large
Sections Ruined by the Rush OF Water.


Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
VANCOUVER, d. c., May 30.-The
Frazer river has become u raging torrent
and is dealing destruction and death al
every point. The surrounding valleys
have been submerged, houses and out.
buildings of ranchcrs have been swept
away and where but a few days ago
waving fields of grooming grain met the
eye, is now but u waste of water.
Whole villages on the banks of the
stream are floating. So far eight lives
are known to have been lost. At Lang
ley, o little boy fell from porch of the
Langley hotel and was swept away by
the flood. The hotel was afterwards
washed from its foundations.
The entire town is flooded. The whole
Of Langley prairie and the island on
which is the Indian reservation is eli
tirely under water
Four Indians who were trying to
tow some cattle from ridge on the
island behind their canoes to the main
land were capsized and three OF them
drowned.
The dead bodies of three men and a
little girl were found on Hatztic prairie,
entangled among floating trees.
Many other bodies are reported as
having been seen in the stream in other
localities but SO terrible the current that
all attempts at rescue were futile.
AT Morris steamers are sailing right
across where farms used to be. Farmers,
fearing to remain longer, are taking
passage on steamers and bring their
families here.
The towns of Chillawack, Harrison
and Centreyille have been almost en-
tirely inundated and it was with diff
Guilty that the inhabitants escaped with
their lives.
The damage done to the Canadian
Pacific road tracks is very serious all
along the line. At Hattie the dyking
has entirely given away and 600 yards
of road have been carried away. at
Nicomen the whole town is under water.
Traffic over the railroad is entirely
stopped, no train having arrived from
the East since May 23d. No mails have
been received or dispatched.
Every farmer and rancher at Hatztic
prairie is ruined. The latest report says
the Matzqui dyke has caved in and the
country is all flooded. The Mission
railroad bridge, one of the largest on the
road, is expected to go every hour. The
Salmon Arm bridge collapsed yesterday
afternoon. At Yale the river is rising
two inches all hour.

Tho City DoG-Cntcher Takes Up Mrs
Plerce's Horse and is Himself Arrestetl

The City DoG-CRtcher Takes Up Mrs.
Pierce's Horse and is Himself Arrested.
Dog-catcher Joseph Hayden, who has
been in trouble before as result of his
zeal in apprehending cattle and stray
CANNES, was in police court yesterday
morning charged by Mrs. Bayard Pierce
with assault and battery. The woman
lives at No. 721 Union street. Yesterday
q horse belonging to her husband was
grazing on lot near the house, guarded
by her 10-years-old son. Hayden came
along, seized the horse and started off
to impound it. Mrs. Pierce rushed to
the scene with baby in her arms, and
caught hold OF the horse by the halter.
The ungallant dog-catcher refused to
release the horse and Mrs. Pierce pulled
one way and the dog-catcher tue other,
while the baby screamed Justify. A
large crowd gathered and advised Mrs.
Pierce to rescue tho horse. Her hus-
band was sent for and on his advice
Mrs. Pierce let go and Hayden took the
horse to the pound. Pierce was com
PEELED TO pay 81 to regain possession of
it. The woman testified that Hayden
pinched her hand, stepped on her toes
and brought his fist down upon her
shoulder, besides making use of profane
language.
Patrick Cathcart and Louis Gluck tcs-
tilted that Hayden had his pound on
the Gingleback property, and that "Gln-
glebach's horses were never molested by
Hayden, owing to the fact that he got
the pound free of rent"
Other witnesses testified that Hayden
cursed the woman and. used very bad
language.
Hayden had stack of witnesses sum-
moned who gave him a reputation as
spotless as the driven snow. They said
that he was taking the horse to the
pound when Mrs. Pierce appeared on
the scene, and caught the animal by the
bride, and that he neither struck the
woman or used profane language. In
fact, they said that he acted as gentle
manly dog-catcher should act, and was
in nowise to blame for the affair. The
witnesses for Hayden outnumbered, two
to one, the witnesses for the prosecution,
and in view of the preponderance of tes-
timony Judge Bali was compelled to
dismiss the case.
He cautioned Hayden against taking
up cattle in the custody of an attendant,
however, and suggested that he pay
strict regard to his duty in the future.

ORIcAGo EoAD RACE.


Over Three Hundred Contestants Start in
tho North Side Course 1S-Miie Contest.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 3o.-rhe Chicago
road race, the successor of the historic
Pullman bicycle event, was run over the
new North Side course to- day, the finish
being witnessed by an immense throng
of enthusiastic spectators.
The race was, for the first time, run
from point on the Lake Shore drive,
opposite the Grant Monument in Lin
coin Park, north to Evanston and back
to the starting point, a distance of some
thing over Is miles. The hour of start
ing was fixed at 10 o'clock, and long
before the time arrived the driveways
and footpaths of Lincoln Park were
thronged with spectators. There were
4l6 enlr.es and over 500 contestants
lined up when the hour arrived.
The veteran wheelman, N. II. Van
sicklen, OBLIGATED as starter, and
promptly at the stroke of 10 the limit
man was started, IL minutes ahead of
the scatch. The others followed in
quick succession, starting in twos and
threes and punches, according to their
handicaps.
Five cracks were billed for the scratch
j. p. Bliss, Herbert Citizens, George
K. Barrett, II. r. Winship and A. il,
Lumsden-but of these only the last
three were on hand. AS they left the
mark amid lusty cheers and sped away
after the leaders, carriages and bicycles
swung in line aud followed at a rattling
gait to view the first few miles OF the
contest.
The value of the prizes given to the
successful riders exceeded $4,000, in
Guiding cups, bicycles and trophies. As
the riders vanished the waiting crowd
speculated freely on the outcome and
expressions of opinion were freely
backed with money. q. I. Darcy, G. l..
Emerson, q. II. Peck and Guss Steele
were each played heavily for first place
and the scratch men were all we'll
backed for the time prize.
AT the first turn, Lakeview and Bel
mont avenue, George r. Barrett,
scratch man, was easily in the lead.
