DES MONIES, Iowa, March 23.-The
Des Moines River continued rising stead
lily at this point until noon to day, when
ii began to recede slowly. From points
further up the river reports come indicat-
ing that it began TO recede last night.
The levees along the lowlands in sew
eral places gave way, and the river spread
over the country. The water late last
evening compelled the street rail-
road company 10 abandon the reg
ular engines, having flooded the power
house, but another battery of boilers
had been fitted up, and smaller engine
was connected and protected from the ad-
vance Of the waters, so that the streetcar
service was not interfered with The
worst is now past. unless the weather be.

From Cherokee, where the floods have
been worse perhaps than any place in the
State, comes word that the water in the

Lose Bianther After Getting
Complete Case.
Josef E. Blanther the murderer of
Mrs. Philopena Langfeldt, has cheated
the gallows and saved the State consid-
erable expense.
The deadly drug that he swallowed
early Sunday morning in the jail at Meri-
dian, Tex, and from which after eighte
hours work it was thought he had recov-
cred, did its work too well, and he died
Monday night about O'Clock.
Detective Gibson and George A. bod ge,
the architect, reached Meridian between
and 5 o'clock yesterday morning, and on
reaching the jail they at once identified
the dead man as Blanther.
When Captain Lees reached his Office
yesterday morning he found the following
dispatch from Gibson on his desk:
The man is Blanther. Died at s last night.
The captain at once wired 20 Gibson to
have photographs made of the murderer
and if there was no photographer at Meri-
dian, which is q small town of about 800
inhabitants. he was instructed to secure
one from the nearest point. Gibson was
also instructed to take particular notice of
the marks on the deceased body, so that
there could be no question as to his iden-
fification and in order that a showing may
be made in the Superior Court when the
matter of the Grand jury indictment
comes up for final disposition.
The personal effects of the deceased
have been secured by Gibson, and he will
bring them with him on his return to the
City.
The physicians and Jail officials made
every effort to save BIanther's life, as re-
ward of $1,000 was offered Tor his arrest and
conviction. At one time it was thought
that all danger was past, but toward even
ing he took turn for the worse and sank
rapidly.
BIanther appears to have made no con-
fession, and when questioned he abso-
lutely refused to talk. Shortly before he
died he said he taught school in Southern
California at one time during his life, and
spoke of brother in France who went un-
der the name OF Charles Carter. In his
delirium he frequently muttered the name

B ALTIMORE, ND, March 23.-The
case against General Roloff, Cuban Secre-
tary OF War, and DIR. Jose J. Luis, for
Judge Morris in the United States District
Court to-day. Roloff failed to appear.
Captain Hudson of the steamer Woodall
detailed the negotiations entered into at
New York by Roloff, Luis and himself for
the power of chartering vessel for fill
clustering purposes. He ana Roloff came
to Baltimore and bought the Woodall.
After the purchase money had been paid
the captain stated that they took in pro.
visions enough to feed 100 men for
month, although his crew comprised only
fifteen men. He salled from Baltimore
July g. 1895, Roioff and LUIS being aboard
and shipping as part OF the crew.
The vessel was hove to off Harbor Key,
Fla, and several small boats approached.
The Woodall took on board from these
vessels 1853 men, most of whom were
dressed in the uniform of Cuban insur-
gents. A lot OF arms were put aboard, in
Guiding rifles and macnetes, as was also
600 pounds of dynamite and lot of dyna-
mite caps -Four days after leaving the
Keys the Woodall landed the party and
her cargo on the Santa Clara coast of
Cuba.
Captain Hudson detailed the move
ments of the Woodall subsequent to the
landing of the expedition. He proceeded
10 Progresso, Yucatan, and sailed thence
for New Orleans. arriving at the latter
port August 4, 1895. He found instruc-
tions waiting him to turn the vessel over
to Mr.. White, who took charge and paid
off and discharged the crew and gave
Hudson $500 extra as qualification money.
According to his agreement with the
Junta the Woodall was to be given to

AcOMA'S DREDGER CASE.
Judge Hanford's Comments in Granting
an Injunction to tho Bowers
COMPANY.


TACOMA. WASH, March 23.-Judge
Hanford to-day forwarded from Seattle a
written opinion in the Bowers Dredger
Company injunction suit against the New
York Dredging Company ct al. The
opinion is not as strongly favorable to
Bowers as was the verbal intirna alton from
the bench. While granting a temporary
injunction until the trial, upon the
strength of a decision of the Circuit Court
of Appeals in the Won Schmidt case, he
does not consider himself bound by it on
the trial. After referring at some length
to the claim of the defendants. that their
excavator is constructed upon principles
known long prior to Bowers invention,
he says:
Here l find the greatest difficulty in
the way of satisfactory decision. The
authorities support the rule contended for
by the defendants that to warrant the
granting of provisional injunction in
fringement must be proven beyond a
doubt. Now am not willing to be con-
WINGED OF any material fact in the case
beyond reasonable doubt until the final
hearing and full consideration of the
proofs which may be taken according to
mdthods best calculated to elicit the
truth"
After referring to the Fact that while DO
serious loss is likely to accrue to the
plaintiff if the New York Dredging Com
pany is permitted to complete its Everett
and Swinomish slough contracts on its
giving inde emnity bonds, yet the plaintiff
might suffer irreparable damage if the
defendant were allowed to bid in competi-
ton for other work and be permitted to use
the dredger Oakland for such mpetition,
he decides that the New York Dredging
Company may complete the present con-
tract on giving $4,000 bond, but is other
wise forbidden to use the dredger. That
he leans at present to the side of Bowers
is, however. indicated by his saying in
one part of the opinion:
"In co .nparing the different machines,
tits very difficult for me to find an in
fringement in the Won Schmidt machine
and not in the dredger Oakland" yet he
admits being impressed by the contention
of the defendan's counsel that the validity
of the New York company's claim was not
fully tested in The Won Schmidt case, and
the further contention that the Bowers
patent was vod because anticipated by
English patents of long prior date. Upon
this he says:
Upon final hearing will make an
analy sis of patents in the suit and the
necessary comparisons with the several
devices described in the patents and pub
LEGATIONS which are supposed to be antici-
pations; but am not called upon to do
so at the present time"
