TOO Much Moisture.
San Francisco Cal, March 23.-Practi-
cally without cessation it has been raining
throughout the northern part of California
since last Sunday morning. All fears of a
drouth have long since been dispelled, but
in some sections there are now serious
apprehenslons of prospective floods. Many
creeks have overhowed their banks, sub
merging the iowlands and causing oonsid-
cradle damage.
Al Santa Cruz a number of houses have
their lower floors under water and bridges
aud dams have been swept away.
Throughout the San Joaquin valley the
country Is full of water and the rivers
and channels have risen TO within a few
feet OF the flood stage, with the rain still
falling and the rivers still rising.
In Santa Clara county, two bay towns,
Alviso and Melpitas. are under water and
the lower portion of Gilroy in the southern
end of the valley is also submerged. The
waters are rising rapidly in all rivers and
another days rain will cause serious cons--
cuences. The indications arc for con-
tinuance tomorrow of the rain, which Is
falling fast tonight.

in sierra Leone.
New York March 2S.--Inquiry among the
officers of the foreign mission boards in
this city regarding the dispatch from Lon
don about the murder of an American
missionary and his wife and the taking
into captivity of his two daughters by
natives of the Mendi district, Sierra Lee
one, revealed the fact that mono of the
larger boards have missionaries In that
part OF West Africa. The missionary alli-
ance has men in Sierra Leone. but one OF
its officers said all its representatives
were young and unmarried.
From the same source II was learned
that the murdered missionary was prob
ably one OF the United Brethren mission
aries. Their headquarters are in Penn
sylvania. Six or eight months ago several
of the United Brethren missionaries in
this district were killed and others were
driven to the coast and their properly de-
stroyed. At that time a number OF native;
were executed. The latter murders are
probably recurrence OF the former
trouble.
