MARCH MAINTAINS ITS REPUTATION
The Seneca River in New York on a Ram
page Now.

Senaea Falls, N. Y, March 30.-The
heavy snow which fell here last week be-
gan to melt at "a rapid rate yesterday
morning.
At noon the Senaca river was an angry
swollen torrent, rushing through the
town carrying every movable object in
its path with it. The pressure upon the
embanAment is very great The race
which gives power to all of the manu-
facturies is OVERLOOKING it's sides and in
some places it is doubtful whether they
can stand the pressure. Should the en-
bankment give way the entire portion
OF the town commonly known as the
flats, would be flooded for some time to
come, as in some places there are little
valleys with no outlet
At the canal the water flows with great
velocity over the locks and over the sides
into the windows of the Gleason Knitting
company's plant. The valley through
which the canal and river run Is bare.
Every object in the path Of the river is
hurled down past the town in terrific
haste. Buildings are under water up to
| the windows of the second stories The
buildings in that vicinity are all in dan
ger of collapse. Rumseyville, a suburb
| of this town, has within it's limits many
acres of lots which lie in hollow with
no outlet They are now totally under
water.

Oakville, Ont, March so.-The greatest
flood here for years occurred at midnight
last night the mild weather having
caused all the small streams emptyipg
into the river to become greatly swollen.
The stone-hooker Lillian, was carried
out into the lake, and the brig Rover
partially sunk. The Toronto ferry
steamers, Lucia and Mascotte, which
have been wintering here, have entirely

MARYLAND LEGISLATURE ADJouRNs
Captain Bye's Efforts For An Investiga-
ton of Senator-E Elect Wellington Failed.

Annapolis, March 30.-In the Hous
of delegates today Capt Bye, Republican
of Baltimore, offered a series of resolu-
tions looking to the investigation of
United States Senator-eleot Wellington's
election
Speaker Mudd declared him out of or
der, the time for the introduction of such
documents having passed. Capt. Bye
asserted that he endeayored to introduce
the resolutions at the proper time, but he
was not given an opportunity tossdo SO.
Capt. Bye did not ask for unanimous
consent to present the resolutions but
as this was the last daysof the session, he
gave them to the press. The resolutions
cite the charges made in the COL
umns of sundry newspapers that the cleo
ton of George l.. Wellington to the
United States Senate by the legislature
OF Maryland, was accompanied by the
most shameful promises and corrupt
bargaining away of state offices, by the
governor at the direction of Wellington
Judge Sloan and others, and the speaker
and officers and members of the legisla-
ture were influenced in the votes of Well
ington by the promise of office and by
bribery. 10 give the accused an oppor-
tunity to refute the charges. an investi-
cation is asked for by joint commission
of the Senate and House members.
| Speaker Mudd's ruling summarily dis
posed of the subject. Capt. Bye was un-
| fortunate in his effort to have ''Lexow'
committee appointed for Baltimore oiuy.
| Both Houses adjourned sine die at mid
night.

notice on the officials here and de-
mand possession OF the property. The
officials Of the railway will refuse 10
recognize him as receiver. and attor-
neys OF the corporation will 40 al once
to OskalooSa and file n motion with
Judge Myers to yacate the order This
course was decided upon at the con-
ference OF Santa BE officials held here
to-day. Should Judge Myers refuse to
vacate his order. as ne probably will
do. Judge Foster OF the United States
circuit court will be APPEALED TO for a
writ prohibiting the state court from
interfering with the property OF the
company. IL Is maintained by the
Santa Fe people that the United States
court under the former recsivership
proceedings still has sufficient hold on
the santa Fe to warrant Its interfer-
ence In the present proceedings In the
state court. Some OF the debts con-
trao,ed under the recent federal recoiv-
ershlp are still in the federal courts
for adjudication. and for this reason
Il will be clakmed the property has not
absolutely passed from the control OF
the United States circuit court.

his train early this morning and was in

backed on q siding at Winston to await
the eastbound passenger. No one saw the
accident. but IL Is supposed that the un-
fortunate man fell as he was descending
the ladder on the side OF the car. He was
not missed until the train had been pulled
back to the main line. and then II was
found that the body had been run over
twice by nearly the full length OF the

crushed into an unacceptable mass. II

Coroner Peasants declined to hold an
inquest. as the man had been killed In
Jefferson county. Then the coroner at
Boulder was notified and he ordered the
body taken to Winston. where an inquest
would be held by Justice c, W. Reynolds.
The body was taken to Winston on a
special run by Engineer Jack Frost, Con-
