DAMAGEAT RUMFoRD
FALLS.
fspecial to the PRESS.

RumfoId Falls, April l5.-The water has
receded about one foot for the past few
hours, which has had tendency to allay
the fears somewhat. Word was tele2raphed
from Berlin this afternoon that their boom
mad broken, and that all the logs were adrift
with lots of ice behind them. Instructions
were sent here to stop them, but it is i'm
possible, as the boom here has been
washed away. and not vestige of any
piers remain in sight. Canton is in the
same fix with the bridge gone besides as is
Llvermore Falls, Otis Falls. and so on down
the river. There is no prospect that any of
the logs will be saved, but all will go out
to sea.
Mr.. Garrett Schenck says that the paper
company's loss will be sevcnty-five thou
sand collars.s They were rushed with orders
and the price of paper was advancing. They
have enough 10 run about i've weeks. The
prospect is that they will be oblighed to
shut down after that.
There is danger that Danforth and
Morse's grst mill will go, AS one corner
has settled. About all the bridges in town
have gone before the flood. as nave those al
Andover. The top of some covered bridge
went past here this afternoon. The loss is
tremendous and cannot be estimated now,
but will probably reach over million dol
lars.
Families at East Rumford and on the
island at the falls have moved to places of
safety. The head gates are holding all right
though the water is already over them.
Rumfo1d Centre has been heard from. No
lives are lost there. but many buildings
were under water several feet.

wicked Women a Terror.

DR. Lombroso, the Italian specialist in
criminology, has written book on The
Female Offender in which he says
.sThe female born criminal is far more
terrible than the male. She combines the
worst qualities Of both sexes--the wo-
man excessive desire for revenge, cum
ming cruelty, love of dress and untruth-
fitness, the mans vices, 1ckleness, fear
lesaness, audaeity and often n, % aetaanfs
strength. Cello wrote ID me nIte es'1a
century: s'No possible punishment can
deter women from heaping up crime upon
crime. Their perversity of mind is more
fertile in new crimes than the imagination
Of Judge in new punish ments BY kise
siad Feminine criminality is more Gym
ical. more depraved and more terrible
than the ciminality Of the male. Rarely,
saws the Italian pruverb, is a. woman
wicked. but when she is she surpasses the
man. Then comes Euripides with this
crusher: The violence OF the ocean
waves or Of devouring flames is terrible
Terrible is poverty but woman is more
terrible than all else. '' 81

Uncis,med Deposits In California saving
hanks.

Unclaimed Ceposite In California savings
Banks I.
Interesting discoveries Of lost heirs
have Just been made in the unclaimed
bank deposit caseg. The public dmin-
istrator, Attorney Oscar d. Shuck. m
the legal representatives Of the vari-
Gus San Francisco savings banks, where
$500, 900 are unclaimed, have lately set
tied with q number Of the heirs OF de-
positors, but there are several hundred
unclaimed deposits still In the banks.
One OF the most remarkable Of the long
list OF abandoned deposits Is that OF
jeremiah Pendergast. to whose credit
there are $i2, 900 at the Hibernia bank.
His heirs are in Ireland. Very little Is
known Of Pendergast. saw that he was
never a resident of San Francisco,
though he was here for a short time
about 1868. and probably as late as 1876.
These facts are known. because the
Empire hotel. which he gave as his
residence, was opened in 1868 and
closed in 1876. For many years there
has been a search for Pendergast or his
heirs, and Attorney Shuck has just locat-
cd the heirs in Ireland, and has learned
that the depositor was burned to death
In his mining cabin more than twenty
years ago. Pendergast was unmarried
and lived in an Isolated cabin. where
he was burned to death In a fire which
enveloped his home while he was
asleep. In the remarkable case Of
Henry G. Benn, who left 50 .40o in the
Hibernia bank many years ago, there
Is no clew whatever. 1t Is known that
he once lived at the corner of kearney
and Jackson streets. but further thaa
this there have been no tidings. The
money awaits the coming of the owner.
AT the same bank there Is a deposit Of
$1,000 in the lame of william l.. Cros-
ten. who was a sailmaker in San Fran
cisco In 1868. Shortly thereafter he
quietly left the city and has never been
heard from, though there are several
persons here who knew him well and
worked with him at Crawford's sail
loft. II the deposition, who was born in
Norway. is still living. he is ~ years
Of age. A search for his heirs has been
In progress for years. A similar case
is that of Charles n. Miles. supposed
to have been a There are
$1,000 to his credit at the Hibernia
bank. He lived at the old United States
hotel. Oscar McEarman left s1.250 at
he bank in 1872, refusing to give his
address. and has never been head from
since. and about the same time p. ID.
Malloy left 81, 200 at the same bank in
the same manner. refusing to give any
particulars about his residence. Thomas
Standon. of i2i Powell street. but whose
name does not appear in any OF the old
directories, left S 1 1000 at the Hibernia
and has never been heard from since.
John b. Casey, who was "A carpenter for
the Southern Pacific. also left $1,000
at the same bank and disappeared in an
equally mysterious manner.

BEES AT ASCOT.
They Made Things Exceedingly LlysI,

They Made Things Exceedingly Lively
AT the Racctrack for Awhile.
A curious incident occurred ut Ascot.
While a large number of pleasant
luncheon parties were enjoying the de-
lights Of an open-air repast in the gar
dens behind the g~randstand a great
swarm of bees settled down on the
guests around a table in a corner. They
buZzed and buzzed everywhere. Ladies
had bees in their bonnets and gentle
men found their hats turned into strik-
ing Weaknesses Of "Catch-'em-alive-
obs" Some of the swarm settled on
the cold salmon and other members of
II tumbled into the champagne cup. In
fact, the bees created the greatest con-
~sternatlon among the ladies and gentle
men in that quarter of the grounds.
They were gradually drawn off tho
luncheon party by a gentleman, TO
whom occurred the happy idea of treat
ing them to a little music on a metal
tray under a tree. After the tapping
or tinkling on the article had continued
for two or three moments the queen
bee settled on the branches above 10 lis
ten to 1t, and was at once followed by
all the swarm II was an extraordinary
sight to see hundreds of the insects
hanging like a great black and gold
cluster on the tree while the tinkling
continued. II ceased with the luncheon,
and the bees did no more harm. In
the early part of the performance n
lady was pretty severely stung.
