CHENA, JuIy 4. The first serious calamity in the history of the camp has befallen Fairbanks. The few hot days in the early part of last week and the heavy rain storms of the second half of the week, caused the main river and it's tributaries to dangerous streams The Cinema river, on the banks of which Fairbanks is situated, usually harm. llss stream. rose higher and higher, bringing with it an avalanche of brush, \ timber and rubbish.
 The Wendell avenue bridge built this spring at cost of $5, ,0OO, could not withstand the pressure of the rushing waters very long. It gave way and rapidly driitld soward the Cushman street bridge, which had only been fin ished a shyrt time ago at a cost of $1O- GOO. The liinDers Ci the upper bridge, together with the thousands of sawlogs which had broken through the booms sof the several saWmills, reinforced by, an endless stream of debris, kept on plling high aga.nst the piers of the trembling bridge and caused and im-. mense jam. f
 The water backed and soon began to run over the banks. In a few hours it had cut it's way through the bank and the pent waters rushed furiously thro. 2 Aa1 the new opening tearing and cutting into the bank carrying everything with. It that obstructed it's passage. Pour ing through the new channel itcut foot by foot of the city's bank. The fine block in which the Horseshoe saloon is. situated, the big store of Sargent and Pinska and the N. c. warehouse were seliously threatened. Tenants began. to move; the buildings were given up.

The water cut clear across the street distance of 30 feet, making it impos- sible to reach the N. c. store by way of First avenue. : The company's dock began to topple over when several law- sers were attached to prevent it from. washing away. The new sCaderhead dock caved in. Saturday morning the Cushman street bridge was standing in the center of a raging torrent, grim witness of the engineers ability and at the same time the cause of all the daDl- age that had been wrought. Charge after charge of dynamite was exploded intended to remove the obstruction but all in vain.
 At midday all the. available steam boats were hard at work undoing the Etangles that had gathered in front of the bridge. At o'clock they had suc- ceeded. But the current did not sub side and more than ever threatened to destroy the N. C. Co. big plant. At 2 p. m. telephone message was receiv- Eed at Cinema ordering the steamers Ia mana and Isabelle to come prepared for F any emergency. Capt. Gray left with the two steamers at once.
 Forty tons of hay were thrown again st the bank to protect the N c. land- ing, all in vain. The torrent picked up the hay and scattered it along the slough, landing some of it. inside the booms at Cinema. Through the night from Saturday to Sunday the water fell l8 inches, but towards morning it Ecommenced- to raise again. A million feet of sawlogs were lost. The busi- ness part of First auenue is now riv- CT bed. Damages will foot up $50, 900.

Delegates to Garments Con-
vention Hard at Work.
Rules and the Wage Scale TO BE De-
cidcd In a Secret Conference
Between Those Interested.
MAY BE IN SESSION TOMORROW.

The joint protective board of the
brotherhood of Railway Carmen of
the |. G. system, are still in session
here and will likely remain so until
tomorrow night.
The reorganization and election of
officers was held yesterday and today
has been spent in arranging rules
and wage scale. The committee is
composed of the chairman of each
grievance committee of unions rep
resented In the entire system, and
this is the committee to wait on the
officials in Chicago in May.
The principal thing to decide in
the matter of arranging a scale, is
whether or not to arrange a classified
scale or one to govern the system
generally. Last year each local UNI
ion had separate scale but the rules
were nearly universal. This year It
will probably remain so. although
there is some inclination to make IL
universal on the system.
A committee has been appointed to
arrange resolutions or rules to be EN-
bodied in the regular contract and
will report some time this afternoon.
1t is said that little If any change
will be made in the present rules.
A member of the board stated to a
reported today that the work now
was strictly private and not until at
ter the contract is drawn and pre-
sented to the higher officers at Chica-
go will anything be given out to the
public.
1t is probable the delegates will be
here at least through tomorrow, and
possibly longer.
Tonight there will be an open
meeting, at which Frank l.. Rome
nous, of Kansas City, will deliver
an address.

gradually falling back from the i'm

the outcome of which is still not
chronicled,

Danvllle. Ark, Mar. IA most
sh king crime was committed last
night near Briggsville. fifteen miles
southwest of here. Mrs. james Ince
and her three children we're murder
dered In their beds, their heads hav-
irv been split open with an axe.
The news reached Danville when
James Ince, the husband and father
of the murdered woman and children,
walked into the law Office of Priddy
a Chalmers and inquired II Sheriff
Briggs was in town. Upon being in
formed that the sheriff was out of
town. he unfolded his tale of horror
to A. Il. Priddy. He stated that some
one had come to his house during
the night and murdered his wife and
children; that he knew nothing of
the crime until he awoke this morn
ing: that he did not give any alarm
because he and his wife had previous
ly had some trouble, and he knew
the neighbors would accuse him of
the crime and perhaps deal roughly
with him. For that reason he had
walked to Danville in order to get
some advice about their murder.
Mr.. Priddy advised him to surren-
der. and took him and turned him
over to Jailer Vosburg, who locked
him up pending further develop
ments.
Later advices from Briggsville say
that the crime was not discovered un-
III about 10 o'clock. Neighbors see
ing no sign of life about the place,
went up to see what was wrong, and
found the doors and windows fasten-
ed. They forced on entrance, and a
CHASTITY sight was their reward.
There on the bed lay the mother. and
beside her was her oldestt child,
babe. only four months old. all with
their heads split open, and on the
other bed lay a 2-year-old boy. with
his head almost severed from his
body.
An inquest was held and the YER
dict of the jury was that the mother
and children had come to their deaths
at the hands of James Ince, the hus-
band and father.
Deputy Sheriff Tatum, who was In
that section, came over and took
lnce back to Briggsville to have the
preliminary trial. He stated that
there was considerable excitement
and bad feeling against Ince. but that
they had all promised to protect him
II he was brought back He stated
that II was the intention to take Ince
to his home, put him In the same
room with the murdered woman and
