VICTORIA, b. c., May ga terrible
accident occurred here yesterday. A sham
fight and review was to take place at
Macaulay Point, near Esquimault, in the
afternoon, and crowds were making their
way there by every route. All the tram
ears were packed. Two cars left Govern
ment street with more than 100 people.
The first got over Point Ellicc bridge,
which crosses Victoria arm, safely, but
when the other was about half way over
the middle span of the bridge, about $50
feet in length, gave way and the car
plunged into the water some 100 feet be-
low. The car was completely submerged,
and all on board were drowned with the
exception of some Of those who were
standing on the platform and who, escap-
ing injury from the falling timbers, man
aged TO save themselves byusing the float
ing ruins of the bridge and thus got
ashore.
Carriage Loads of People Went Down.
When the bridge broke there were several
carriages on the bridge, and these were
also precipitatcd into the water. Superin-
tendent Wilson was driving one of these
and had his five children with him. He
succeeded in saving himself and four of
the children. The fifth. {. little boy was
wedged between iron bars and was
drowned. The sad affair has cast a deep
gloom over the city. AS soon as the news
of the accident reached Macaulay the re-
view was brought to as speedy termination
rs under the circumstances was possible,
and the sham fight was abandoned. The
list of dead will probably reach over sixty.
as that many bodies have already been re-
covered. Nearly all the dead We're resi-
dents of Victoria and vicinity.

BUSY DAY FOR THE METHoDlSTS.
Installation of the New Bishops and Tenn
perance Take Up the Time.

peranee Take Up the Time.
CLEVELAND, May 27.-Ycsterday was a
busy day in the Methodist Episcopal con-
ference. and it ws;s found necessary to hold
three sessions. At the forenoon session
the impressive ceremonies incident to the
installation of the three biShops-elect-
McCabc CranSton and Hartzell-;lttracted
much interest. At the afternoon session
temperance was the subject under discus
sion, and the committee report which was
adopted shows that the Methodist church
is still the uncompromising foe of the
liquor traffic.
An important step was taken in request
ing the board of bishops to mcmorialize
congress to SO modify the internal revenue
laws as to give them less the scmblance of
statutes intended TO legalize the liquor
traffic, and especially in the states which
have prohibition. The evening session
was devoted to further consideration CT
the report of the committee on constitu-
ton. Nothing radical was approved, but
one section was adopted providing that
when there is no bishop present at the
general conference presiding officer may
be elected pro TEN. blythe delegates and
be either a minister or Il layman.

What a Railway Conductor Saw of the
Floods in Iowa.

MILWAUKEE, May 27.-Conductor W. J.
Durbin, who runs passenger train be-
tween Milwaukee and McGregor, says that
soon after the water from Bloody run be-
gan to rise the cries for help from the ter
rorized and helpless people living upon the
low lands We're heartrending. but that lit
tie could be done by those on the bluffs
near by, as all were compelled to flee for
their lives for the high grounds. On ono
box-car as IL floa.cd by Durbin saw two
men, supposed to be tramps, who were
calling in piteous tones to be rescued
They could be seen jumping from one
car to another rs they proceeded together
toward the Mississippi. The houses of
two families, one numbering six persons
and the other five, floated by. and the
screams of the women, the walls of the
children, and the cries of the men were
heard above the din and roar; but all who
heard and saw the awful sight We're pow
crless to rescue them. The names of the
dead and missing are not obtainable at
present, owing to the great confusion and
lack OF communication.
Particulars of the deluge at North Nc
Grcgor, Ia, vary little from those printed
yesterday. The bodies of seven town pco-
pic IisiNc DteN TttoNtTel. also UnOSe OF SIX
canvassmcn attached TO the Kirkhart &,
Ryan.s circus. The canvassmen had been
at South McGregor. and as everything
connected with the circus had been made
rerdy for the going of the company to
Winona the six men went up to Mort h
McGregor and entered 5ox car. and they
were caught in there when the storm
came. The names cannot be had vet.
The most conservative estimates place the
loss of life at North McGregor at twenty
seven, and 1t will be several days before
names of all can be learned.
kirkhard & Ryan, the circus proprietors,
have no record giving the names or adj
dresses ofthe six canvasmcn drowned at
North McGregcr, and their identity will
probably never be known. Fifteen min
utes delay of a switching train is all that
saved the circus outfit and fifty people
with it from destruction.

VICTORIA. ID. c.. MAY 27.-The
early estimates Of the loss OF life by
the falling Of one Of the spans OF the
Ellice Point bridge are evidently too
low. Sixty-one bodies have been re-
covered and number Of Others have
been carried out to sea. The regis
ter of the street car showed 30 fares.
There were probably l55 persons on
board. Besides these a number of
carriages went down. IL is claimed
by many that fully 200 persons went
down with the span and that more
than half Of them perished.

AuOOucI CudpUcI W bilG Oluh0E
creek mystery has been added,
but which throws no light upon
the case. The Avalanche read
ers will remember the mysterious
disappearance Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Thomas last March. If
they had dropped through the
earth, their withdrawal could
not have been more complete.
There were no signs of foul play.
All the stock, vehicles, saddles
and other effects were on the
ranch. Several theories were
advanced, but nothing has de-
veloped to justify the beliefs.
John R. Thomas, of Haley, a
brother of the missing man, came
over as soon as he learned of the
disappearance, and took charge
of the property. Sometime in
April last he hired a German,
called Otto. (no other name
known), to cultivate the ranch,
care for the stock and take charge
of the place. 1t now develops
that this man has disappeared as
effectively and mysteriously as
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas. He was
last seen about five weeks ago.
He had not drawn any wages.
John Thomas, who is mine fore
man for the Florida Mountain
Mining Co., has been kept con-
stantly at the mine, and did not
learn of the disappearance of the
German until last Monday. He
feels greatly incensed at the way
matters are drifting, and al
though a man who is dependent
upon his labor for funds, he says
he will meet the Board of Com
missioners of this county half
way in offering a reward to fer
ret out the damnable work. No
effort should be spared to clear
up this mystery, which is blot
upon the good name of the
county. A reward would tend
to do this.-Silver City Aav-
lanche.
John Barr died last Sunday
night, Dec. 6, 1896, at 8 o'clock.
He has been sick for nearly one
year. Further particulars next
week.
Gus. Sargent and Miss Alice
Hefing, Nick Millich and Mart
Newcomb were down from Bay
horse last week.
Men are just like hogs, how
ever distasteful this may sound
to the hogs. When hog gets
an ear of corn. every other hog
will trot along behind him, squeal
and whine and beg toady for a
bite, but just let the front hog
get caught with his head fast in
a crack and every son of SOW
will jump on him and tear him to
pieces. Just so with men. AS
long as a man is prosperous and
has money he can't keep friends
off with baseball bat. The
minute he is unfortunate and his
wealth is gone, he is not only
snubbed by his former alleged
friends, but they at once begin
to do him all the harm possible.
When a man starts up grade the
world falls behind and pushes.
When he starts down grade, the
world steps to one side and
greases the track.
