SCENERY
And Scents Effects Used in aover Mag
ara Falls" at the Traders Grand SAT-
urday Night Was Better Than
the Cast.

The scenery and scenic apparatus used
in the production of .,oyer Niagara Falls
1t the Traders grand opera house satrr-
day evening, were elaborate and novel,
but the set of actors and actresses that
went along with it were not by any
means the most adept in the theatrical
profession. Lonise Fleming. who played
the part Of the wronged woman who
took the plunge over Niagara Falls in
barrel was not by any means gifted
in elocution. Gustaye Neaville played
the part of starlight an Indian chief
md the suggestion that ne should go to
Colorado once and see just how an In
Ian really talks and acts would not be
misplaced. The rescue scene, where the
woman is taken out OF the barrel just
below the falls after having gone over
them, was an excellent scenic effect.
There were some carelessness displayed
in the stage management as was noticed
when Niagara Falls was pulled up into
The flies in full sight of hte audience,
without so much as splitting drop! But
a fair sized audience witnessed the play.
The next attraction is the opening per-

lost his life in the flood. In company
with Minister Williams and John Nc
Reynolds he started out Thursday in

were thrown into the water Williams
and McReynolds succeeded in reaching

covered. He leaves a wife and child.

STORM WRECKS A TOWN.

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. ga wind
storm of cyclonic character struck the
little town of Mount Tabor, a few
miles east of Portland, this morning
and demolished two houses, besides
badly damaging a number of other
buildings.
There were several narrow escapes.
but so far as learned no one was Sc
riously injured.
The cyclone was accompanied by
hailstorm of unusual severity.
Fifty feet north of the Starbuck
residence, which was completely de-
molished, was an unoccupied house
belonging to William Thomas. Being
directly in the path of the tornado.
it was demolished as quickly as the
other building. Luckily no one was
in the house when the storm struck it..
The building occupied by the gro
Gerry of w. T. Henton was wrecked
and the stock scattered IN every direc-
ton. No, one was injured there,
though several people had narrow es-
capes.
Davis store, just across the street.
was damaged to such an extent that
the stock is practically ruined.
The home of T. H. Starbuck, an
elder of the Adventist church, was
wrecked by the storm. Starbuck, who
was in his bathroom at the time, was
saved from death by his bath tub,
which prevented falling timbers from
reaching him. His wife and daugh-
ter, who were in the kitchen, were
protected in a similar manner by the
cook stove.

FEATHER RIVER RECEDNG.
Country North of MarysviIIe Is One
Vast Sea of Water.

Vast Sea of Water.
MARTSVILLE, Feb. 2s. - The flood
situation remains unchanged tonight.
Rain has fallen heavily all day. with
prospects for further precipitation dur
ing the night. While the flow Of water
in the Yuba has receded during the past
twenty-four hours it still clings to the
high water mark, nineteen feet, and
ii is reported from the Government
barriers, thirteen miles up the river, to
be rising again. The rise is due, no
doubt, 10 the heavy rainfall in the
mountains to-day.
The Feather River has receded but
little and the country TO the north is
one vast sea Of water. The Sutter
County levee has withstood the great
strain, but some cross embankments
holding back the overflow have given
way, flooding a great deal Of valuable
land between Yuba City and Knights
Landing, near Tudor. The knights
Landing railroad was washed out and
the rails We're under water for several
miles. One thing in favor Of the levee
is the absence of wind. Hundreds Of
men are watching the great dykes and
the residents Of this city feel perfectly
secure Train service from the south
was resumed this evening, the wash
out between here and Reed Station
having been repaired. The San Fran
cisco mail from the north arrived this
morning: also belated passengers
coming by way Of Tehama.
A heavy flow is running through the
break in the Ievee on the south Of the
Yuba and the country for miles around
is under water. Much damage TO grow
ing crops viii result If the current is
very swift and cutting. Travel by teams
from this point is entirely suspended.
Five feet Of water covers the Fifth
street grade leading to Yuba City, and
the street cars have given way TO boats
The Oroville branch Of the railroad line
is covered by eight feet Of water for
miles along the Feather River. The food
water has broken all records and the
people are rejoicing over the way the
city Ievee system has wfthstood the
pressure. No alarm is now felt
The rainfall for the season is about
sixteen inches and. outside OF the dam

arated points The rivers in the north
ern part of California were all rising
rapidly last night. The maximum flow
will be attained to-day, according to
the weather bureau officials.
The storm extended over Washington,
Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, Utah and the
northern part of this State. The wind
velocity was sixty miles an hour at
the mouth of the Columbia River, sixty
at Point Reyes, thirty in the Sacra-
mento River Valley, hlrty-eight In
Utah, fifty in Nevada and twenty-six
in Idaho.
so much wind for one storm is re-
markable,'' says Professor McAdie.
There is some chance that Southern
California will see wet weather to-day,
and the central and northern sections
of the State are sure of showers. The
rainfall for San Francisco for the
twenty-four hours ending at o'clock
last night was more than half an inch.
The rainfall for February thus far is
5.S6 inches, while the average rainfall
for fifty-three years for the month is
only 8. 81 inches. In February, 1878, the
rainfall was 50 inches, which is the
record"

DISCOVERS SHE is THE
WIFE OF AN EX-CONVICT
SwIndler. Believing He Is
Wealthy Commercial Traveller.


Mrs. Edith Blume did not know
that her husband, Henry Blume, alias
Rlaune, alias Brown. alias Bracker,
alias Black. was an ex-convict until
she read yesterday of his arrest on
charges of obtaining goods by
false pretenses and defrauding
an innkeeper. He is 68 years
of age and she is a handsome
blonde about 20 years of age. They
were married in this city three months
ago after a brief courtship. He rep
resented himself to her as wealthy
commercial traveller.
After their marriage they lived at
the Lake House. 26S Turk street, but
she left him two weeks ago because
he gave her a beating and took up her
residence at the Piedmont House,
Sixth and Minna streets. Yesterday
she obtained a search warrant from
Police Judge Fritz to recover possess
sion of a mandolin. clock and other
nersonal effects from the landlady of
the Lake House. who refused to give
them l1n until the bill contracted by
her husband was liquidated.
Blume pleaded guilty in Police
Judge Cabaniss' court yesterday to
the charge of obtaining goods by false
nretenses and was sentenced to serve
five months in the County Jail. The
charge of defrauding an innkeeper
was dismissed.
