WILLIAM ISLIP DEAD.

Pomona. Cal, March 29.-William
Islip, a noted pioneer of southern Cal
ifornia, who left New Bedford, Mass.
on whaling voyage in 1884. and ar
rived at San Francisco in the same
year, is dead at the age of SO years
After his arrival he never left this
state. He was a man of much intel
ligence and the glowing descriptions
which he wrote of this state were the
primary cause of the famous voyage
made by Richard Henry Dana in 1916
which resulted in his writing 1.-TWO
years before the Mast"
Islip left a large estate, but as he
was unmarried and left no heirs, so
far as known, it is not known wheth-
er a deposition will be taken or not.

GEORGE WON'T DO.

New York, March pa dispatch to
the Herald from st. Petersburg, says:
The idea which appears to prevail
at Athens that the nomination of
Prince George as the ruler of Crete is
a possibility, is yet another Of the
many Hellenic would-be decisions
which are bound to be destroyed.
20 Prince George is not in any way
qualified either by age, experience, or
nationality for such an intricate posi-
ton. The Powers are looking for
some capable governor, whose first
quality, executive ability, must be an
impartial attitude toward the Turks
and Greeks alike and who would not
be mere figurehead.

CALIFORNIA CYCLISTS.
Will Pull off from the L. A. W. and
go it Independent.

VIII Pull OH from the IL. y. W. anu
go it Independent.
San Francisco, March 29.-Chief
Consul Frank H. Kerrigan, of the
North California division of the l.. A.
W.. has resigned his position as a re-
suit of the refusal of the league at
it's last meeting to sanction Sunday
racing. Kerrigan's resignation is the
first move of plan to supplement the
L. A. W. in California by a local or
ganization that will be more liberal
in it's ideas concerning racing. There
are about 5000 members in the North
California division Of the l.. A. W.,
but it is probable that within the next
ninety days that number will be great
ly reduced.
The big cycling clubs Of this city
have signified their intention Of not
renewing their membership in the
league and will look to the California
Associated Cycling clubs for future
guidance. A meeting Of the Associa-
ted clubs will be held April 8, when
the new movement in favor OF Sunday
racing will be launched.

ORDER OF EQUITY.
An Indianapolis Benefit Association
Goes to the Wall.

Goes TO the wall.
Indianapolis, Ind, March 29.-The
order of Equity, a benefit ASSOCIATION,
assigned yesterday. The liabilities
are estimated at $4,000, while the as
sets are said to be comparatively trif-
ling. The order was Established in
1879, and that year four councils were
organized. Since then the growth
has been rapid. A suit which was
brouhgt some months ago by a men,
Der seeking to recover benefits alleg-
ed to due him caused a great number
of Withdrawals. These Withdrawals
precipitated the assignment.
The orders plan of business was to
charge $50 year for dues, etc, for
an insurance of 81 900 to be paid up in
ten years. At least most of the men,
bers claim that their understanding
was that after ten years they were to
receive $1,000, less any sick benefits
paid them, for their investment of 1872
per year, or $500 in all.

MEN WORKING HER0ICLY TO
SAVE THE CROPS EROM
THE RAGING WATERS.
Railroads Preparing For The Worst,
Old Riyermen Think The
LeveeS Will Not Withstand
The Pressure Of The
Immense Flood.

Alton, ILL.,, March 29.-Flood condi-
tons become graver every hour. Men
were put to work this morning over
hauling all the levees protecting high
er bottom lands. The railroad COM
panies are putting their tracks in
American and st. Charles bottoms in
the best possible shape to withstand
the floods, for less than II feet more
water will bring the stage of 1892
when the tracks of all the railroads
were submerged between Alton and
st. Louis.
The gauge shows an advance. of
four-tenths of foot in the last TWEEN
ty-fOur hours. The river is within
less than three feet of the stage reach
ed in the middle of May last year and
with nearly two months of wet wea-
Their ahead, the outlook is very gloomy.
Thousands of dollars have already
been swept away in crop products and
it is raining again so that the prairies
look like lakes and the condition of
land for the spring crops is again de-
ferred.
Quincy, ILL.,, March 29.-The Missis-
sippi keeps up its record of the past
week at this point and another rise
is registered, making the stake fifteen
feet above low water mark. Thou
sands of sight seers line the river
banks and bluffs to see the muddy
waters which have covered all Of the
islands and stretched over the Mis-
souri, bottoms for a distance of several
miles, with only the tops of trees and
partly submerged houses visible here
and there to mark the former places
of abode of the thrifty farmers.
The situation in the levee district is
the same as yesterday. A large force
of men are working heroically to
strengthen the weak places in the lev
ees and thereby save their homes and
crops, but it is now believed their task
is hopeless one, as the old river men
say the river will go above the mark
of 1888.
Reports from north of here are very
discOuraging, and the rain storm
which prevailed Sunday only increas-
ed the fears Of the owners of land in |
the levee districts.
st. Paul, Mimi, March 29.-The riv- |
ers of Minnesota are rising very rap
dliy, following a day of heavy thun- |
dering. The Mississippi at this point |
has passed the ten-foot mark and is |
still rising steadily. Water is flow
ing in from the Minnesota in a tor |
rent. A telephone message from |
South Park, five miles south, says an |
ice gorge, 20 feet high, is forming |
there.
As the predictions are for warmer |
weather it is believed the gorge will
be broken without doing any serious
damage. The water is now running
the Bohemian fats and the
residents of that locality are moving
out. The business houses of many
concerns on the west side are full Of
water. Much igher water in the Mis-
sissippi is reported at Little Falls, st.
Cloud and Grand Rapids. There is
still about six inches of snow on the
ground
