CHARLEY SPENCER ALL RIGHT.
Not Drowned in Alaska, but Doing
Well

On Monday morning the Record
Union" published a statement made by
man named Scranton, who went to
Alaska on the same steamer with
Charles E. Spencer of this city, giving
his reasons for believing that Spencer
and three other men were drowned on
the Sd Of September last in Norton S
Sound, near st. Michael Mrs Spen-
Ger had heard the story and gone TO
Scranton for the facts. He made an
affidavit that on the date mentioned he
saw Spencer, Shattuck, Johnson and
another man start to cross Norton
Sound in a small steam launch. a
squau came up suddenly and the little
craft disappeared and he believed that
the party perished. He said that just
as the party was leaving st. Michael
Spencer gave him a message to deliver
to a Mr.. Duffy of San Francisco, who
owned the launch and was interested in
the party.
Mrs Spencer has since been seeking
further infor1natio and has learned
that Mr.. Scranton's fears We're not well
grounded but that the little boat
reached it's destination all right. Yes
terday Mrs. Spencer wrote letter to
friends in this city, giving an account
of her search for information, in which
she said:
Il saw Mr.. Duffy. He has received d
letter from the party since they arrived
at Godolfih Bay. l read the letter. They
came very near being lost and it took
them twenty days to cross the sound
on account. of the storm, when it should
only. have taken about two days. They
are all we'll and have some valuable
mines and are doing we'll. The letter
stated that they were all writing home,
but for some reason I did not receive
my letter. l then went out to see Mrs

The PATTER OF THE RAIN
ON THE ROOF, BUT EXTENDED
INSIDE THE CAPITOL.
Damage to the Senate Chamber and
Ceilings-State Library Es-
capped Luckily.

The roof of the Capitol on the soutn
end leaked like a sieve yesterday morn
ing and the "patter of the rain upon
the roof was changed to it's patter INTO
pals and tubs.
A small drip came down near the
Presidents desk, but the steady stream
that caused the most trouble poured
down in one corner of the lobby and
Kept a man busy disposing OF 1t ana
keeping it from going through the cell
ings below. The plastering in the va
rious, parts of the building was badly
soaked and may have to be put on
anew. The water poured down through
the ceilings of the third story over ne
stairs at the south, end and was caught
in various receptacles and disposed OF.
1t was stated that the trouble arose
from the obstruction of drainage pipes
that had been placed inside of the roof
when the building was constructed, and
which had burst letting the water how
out on top of the ceiling of the upper
story and some going down through
division walls. Two siphon pipes were
run through the wall beneath the roof
and tapped the water that had spread
out on the plastering and conveyed 1t
to the outside of the building. The
system of drainage pipes will probably
be reconstructed, SO that the trouble
shall not occur again, as it will prove
an expensive experience.
1t was said that some of the leaks
in the roof were caused by driving
spikes Ito hold electric wires) through
the roof On the third floor of the
State Library, where the water came
in badly. it was necessary to spread
canvas to protect the valuable books
from the drip, but very little damage
was done.
The damage will, it is thought,
amount to about ST, 500 and it is prob
able, as the Legislature can readily see
the necessity of prompt action, that All
emergency bill will be prepared and
passed before adjournment, making an
appropriation for readjusting the drain
age system and protecting the build

NOT THE SEWER.
It Was Simply the Settling o;
Earth Not Properly Replaced.

1t was thought yesterday that the s.
street sewer had collapsed just below
Third street
A space about thirty feet long in the
middle of the street sunk down about
a foot. the earth cracking and having
the appearance of a cavern.
The street was blockaded by planks
so that wagons could not pass. Last
night superintendent of Streets Touhey
stated that the sewer was intact and
the cause of the earth's settling was
that last summer the gas company took
up lot of gas pipe on that block and
simply threw the earth in without
tamping it as should have been done
and the present storm had filled the
loose earth with water and caused it
to settle. The sewer, he stated was
in excellent working order and the
pumps We're discharging a large volume
of water as fast as it came.
