CITY GUARDS IvITHDRAW
Their Basket Ball Team from the Military
 Association.

Their Basket Ball Team from the Military
 Association.
 A game of basket ball in the military association series was to have been played at the armory last evening be- tween the teams of the Naval Militia and the City Guards, but the latter team announced that it withdrawn from the association and forfeited the game to the Naval Militia. An exhibi- tion game was, however, played and resulted in a score of IS to 4 in favor of the Naval Militia. The score at the end of the first half was to 4. In the second half the Naval Militia scored IA points and the City Guards nothing
 The reason given for the withdrawal of the City Guards team from the asso- citation is said to be because in a game played between that team and the Blues a week ago last Wednesday a member of the Naval Militia was ref cree and by his decision awarded the game which was a close one and de- clared by many present to have been won by the City Guards, to the Blues. The City Guards were very much dis satisfied with the decision, and held a meeting last Tuesday night to consider the matter and decided to withdraw from the association.

SUICIDE IDENTIFIED.
Mrs. Virginia Hall of Brooklyn Killed
 Herself Becanse of Grief.

New York, April 29.-So far as the identity of the woman who committed suicide yesterday in Greenwood cene- tery in concerned it has ceased to be a mystery She is Virginia Hall of Brooklyn.
 The body was removed to an under taking establishment to-day.
 Many society people will remember Mrs. Hall She was Miss Virginia Pet tigrew of this city, descendant of an old Connecticut family, a famous beauty in her day, when she married Mir. Basil Hall, a young Englishman then in the brokerage business in Wall street. That was in 1870. A year or so later MT. Hall, who turned out to be Hon. Basil Hall of Douglass, in Had dingtonshire, England, came into a good bit of the family property and he and his wife went to England.
 After her husbands edath, Mrs. Hall travelled much with her two children. Her little son died four or five years after his fathers death Then the widow returned to America with her only remaining child, daughter. For several years she stopped at the Mur- ray Hill hotel. Her dinners, receptions and other entertainments were elabor- ate and frequent. She went much into society and was spoken of as one of the best dressed women in New York Miss Hall, the daughter, died of con- sumption two years ago. Mrs. Hall sought forgetfulness in trip to Egypt and Riveria. Then she came back to New York and went to White Plains to live.
 Grief at the death of her daughter is

ORATORIO IN BRIDG EPORT,
The Performance of Samson and De-
 lilah,' Last Evening.

The Performance of "Samson and De-
 lilah," Last Evening.
 Quite delegation of musical people from this city went to Bridgeport last night to hear the performance of Sam son and Delilah." The performance, following so closely upon that given by the Gounod society here, naturally in- vited comparison, and certain feeling of rivalry sprang up between the mem bers of the two organizations There were a large number of people from Bridgeport at the performance here, and something like twenty members of the Gounod society went from here last evening.
 The performance by the Bridgeport society was very enjoyable. The cho- rus sang with good quality of tone, great precision in the matter of attack and no little dramatic feeling. They lack the volume of tone and the quality of the Gounod society. One idea is cer- tainly worthy of adoption here in case Samson should ever be given again The chorus last night remained seated for the choruseS which are supposed to be sung before the curtain rises and be- hind the scenes.
 Of the soloists, Clary made the suc- cess of the evening. The part is well suited to her voice, and since she was heard here she seems to have gained temperament and artistic feeling. Her voice rang out gloriously at the close of the duet.
 Towne, the tenor, has a small voice and it trembles continually, but he sang with all the power that was in him. Bushnell, who sang with the ten or and baritone parts, seemed to be in bad voice and to be struggling against a distressing hoarseness. He threw himself into his part splendidly, and made the most of the role.
 The orchestra numbered forty-five men and did splendid work. The men were the regular Damrosch orchestra and naturally made a great effect. Ko- ert led the violins, and Reuter-. Pfeif- fenschneider, Miersch and the rest were in their accustomed places.

Wichita, Kan, April 27.--A special to the Beacon from Guthrie, Okla, says:
 The scene of the flooded districts to- day is one of desolation. The river ran down rapidly all night and when the sun arose the awful extent of the damage to property could be seen. The river is still bank-full but the water has receded from most of the inundated district.
 All the morning missing people have been found clinging to bushes or drift wood down the stream on the west bluffs or scattered in farm houses for miles so that it is believed now that the death list will not exceed twenty five, most of them being those seen to drown in the main channel during the first rush of water and the bodies were carried away.
 The only bodies found this morning were those of Mrs. Fannie Ruffin and five children, all lodged in a pile of drittwood. These, with George Owen, a butcher, who was drowned while res cuing others; Frank Myers, Miss Ella Dums, Mrs. Jane Watt, Mrs Francis Moore, Mrs. Drummond Mrs. Dennis and child, and Mrs Watson, are the only ones known to have been drowned, though fifty or more are still missing.
 Five hundred homes were swept away and the contents ruined. hun dred and fifty houses were wrecked, cit m a thousand people are homeless and half as many more destitute. Property damaged exceeds $100, 1000. Systematic relief IS now carried on and ferries are now working across the river so that supplies are sent to all, and many suf- ferers are being brought to the un- harmed part of the city to be cared for in private homes.
 It is now certain that the flood was caused by cloudburst twenty miles up the valley and everything was swept before it. Had it come two hours earlier, a thousand would have perish ed, but not reaching the city until ' o'clock and a general alarm preceding enabled a large part to escape to the high ground and those caught to secure refuge ir trees and on roofs.
 There were thrilling incidents by the score. John Nelson, a negro ninety years old, cut a hole in the roof of his house and pulled his family up, all of them being rescued. Gene Wilson, giv en up to die of pneumonia, waded into the water, saving four people. He is getting well.
 Dr. Sargent f1oated fifteen miles on kitchen roof. George Ruffin saved three children, and was swept away while trying to reach his mother. John Metz saved many lives and nearly perished. Two printers, who could not swim a strokl, manned a raft to rescue people, but were swept away and had to be rescued. Persons were saved by firing rockets with lines to them. Thieves at tempted to loot houses all night, but were driven away The Santa Fe had five hundred men working on it's tracks. Trains went north to-day, but it will be several days yet before traffic opens south.

 Guthrie, Oklahoma, April 29.-In the flood-stricken valley of the Cottonwood river, to-day, heroic efforts have been in progress toward the resuce of those dangered, and for the relief of the hun dreds of destitute and hungry. To- night it seems a certainty that the loss of life in yesterdays deluge will not exceed twenty, All day persons sup posed yesterday to have been drowned have been found clinging to bushes or driftwood. During the greater part of yesterday the torrent cut off communi- cation with the submerged district, and in the excitement the death list was sWelled to hundreds.
