Railroads Abandoned and Towns Un,
 der Water.
 TACOMA, Wash, Jan. 6.-Delayed Northern Pacific and Great Northern trains from the east have arrived from Portland with hundreds of passengers for Seattle and other northern points. Owing to the abandonment of the Northern Pacific and Interurban trains between Tacoma and Seattle these pas sengers are flocking to the boats. More than a thousand persons tried to board the steamer Flyer. The customs agents limited the number to 300, although the capacity of the boat is 300, and q rush ensued. A threatened panic finally was averted by the steamer Multnomah taking the Flyers overflow.
 Many tons of mail from the east are stacked up on the docks awaiting transportation by water. The mail comprises all of the sacks of letters and papers which should have reached the sound cities since last Thursday.
 At South Prairie, Pierce county, the authorities had to blow up large iron county bridge to break q log jam. The coal mines there are flooded. Five large bridges in this county were swept away.

WILLIE KELLER EXAMINED.
N-Ray Examination Shows That He
 Has a Coles Fracture.

New York, Jan 6.-An X-ray exam ination of the injured shoulder of Will liam Keeler, the ball player, made at Brooklyn hospital, reveals the fact that he is suffering from what is known to the medical profession as coles fracture, and, though the surgeons ex- pect to effect a permanent cure, it is not likely that Keeler will play until late in the season.
 Keeler during his recent visit to the west fell on the ice, striking his left shoulder. When he returned home he called at the hospital, and the doctors there ordered the X-ray examination in order to locate the exact nature of the trouble.
 Keeler will undergo special treatment from now on. He admits that he has signed to play with the American league club in New York and. twill, it is said, get a yearly salary of $10,OOO, and will be absolved from all fines and sus- pension.

MOTHER AND TWO DAUGHTERS

 ter of the House Was Arrested.

The fourth victim, a woman whose name has not been learned, jumped from the window of a room on the same floor to the street and was fatal ly hurt.
 ] William A. Parker, a guest, jumped from the window of room on the fourth noor to the roof ot two story building adjoining the hotel. He sus- talned a broken ankle and severe bruises.
 The financial loss was about $2,5OO.
 A short time after it was discovered that lives had been lost, William Glenn ems, porter, was arrested. The police explain that from what could be learned from the panic-stricken guests the fire originated mysteriously Clemens was awake, it is said, at the time, and the police will hold him until the fire has been investigated. There were about 100 guests in the hotel at the time. From admissions made by Clemens it is believed that he caused the fire by accidentally igniting his bed clothes while smoking cigarette.
 The fourth victim, believed to be Mss Ethel Saunders, Chicago, died in the ambulance on her way to the hos pital. She is said to have been the niece of Mrs Perry

The body of Mrs Perry lay on the floor near the window. The elevator conductor ran his car to the top floor shouting warning and carrying many of the guests from the huiIdinp
