had received the short message referred to above. It is known that the Roose- welt line was all but completed last week which gives some color to the story as the work might have been finished last evening, but none of the workmen could be found after the ru- nor gained currency, and the party who overheard the remark was too busy at the time to make inquiry, thinking that if it were anything sen sational the news would quickly be- come public anyhow. Nothing / con- corning the incident was learned by telegraph but it is likely that if a cat astrophe has occurred the telegraph wires are down.

little branches from an almond tree growing on the. Wallin property on north Central avenue. The branches were literally hidden in pretty bIos- soms.
 CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP-Att the Baptist church yesterday morning Rev. pr. Halsey preached on Christian Git izenship' to a large congregation. MT Karl Cochems of the Arizona School of Music sang with great power and skill Unto the Hills.' a beautiful piece of music composed by Mrs. Lewis Hal sey.
 FAUST CUT OFF-There will be no presentation of Faust at the Hardwick tonight as advertised. The Morrison company is on the wrong side of the Gila But Florence Roberts will be at the Hardwick on Tuesday and We'd nesday nights as was announced. She is coming by the northern route and will dedicate the Elks' opera house at Prescott tomorrow night.
 DEATH OF DAN BROWN-Dan Brown died yesterday at the Sisters hospital after an illness of two or three weeks. He was fifty years old and un- till his illness had been employed for about six months by the Lightning de- livery. He had been in good health till the date of his last illness, when he seemed to suffer a sudden and general breakdown. He had no family here and was very well known in Arizona having resided in the territory for about fifteen years.
 FUNERAL YESTERADY-The fun eral of Ashbury Jones was held yester- day afternoon at o'clock at the un- dertaking parlors of Easterling &, Whitney. The services were conducted by Rev. A. Wagner of the A. M. F. church and there was a large attend ance of friends of the dead man. He was an empIOye of the Pullman com pany and until recently filled the posi- tion of porter on the Phoenix Tucson run.
 A BIT OF HISTORY-The Prescott Courier says: Feb. 22s 1890, at o'clock the Walnut Grove dam went out. Bob Brow, who was a dam sufferer, says that so far, this season is a duplicate of that year. The Walnut Grove dam made a lake half a mile wide, mile long, and ten feet deep in places. The dam was full of fish and had become quite a resort when it went out Sev enty-six people were drowned in the dam break and a great deal of property destroyed.
 PERHAPS A CATASTROPHE-A report gained circulation in Phoenix last night, at an hour too late for veri- fication, that was of rather a startling nature. The report was that there had been a terrible flood at Globe and that many people were drowned. The report emanated from restaurant where a number of telephone construction men employed on the Roosevelt line were eating. Someone understood one of them to say that connection had been made with Globe last evening and they 1

usual height at points further up where new banks are cut into and washed down together with the trees. shrub bery and old logs that have been ac- cumulating for years.
 Superintendent Bicknell of the NJ. & P. said last night that the situation was a very strenuous one. Nobody can tell what will happen before the flood recedes or how much more damage, if any, may be done to the bridge. He said though, that if nothing further happened that he would be fortunate indeed if able to resume traffic in less than a week
 Postmaster McClintock wired yester- day to the railway postal officials in Los Angeles, requesting that all mail from southern points, together with that now supposed to be at Maricopa, be immediately routed via California. If that is done, Phoenix may begin to look for southern Arizona mail again by Wednesday or Thursday morning.
 There is though, considerable con lecture concerning what may be going on at other places in southern Arizona The Gila river is not the only star performer, though it holds the center of the stage here. The dispatches yes terday morning reported a big wash
  burg and 1t was since reported that there was a big washout Saturday or yesterday where the Southern Pacific crosses the RilIito between Tucson and Casa Grande. What may have occurred west of MaricOpa no one seems to know, nor is it known definitely that anything has occurred. Messages from southern California to Phoenix people read Unable to get there account Of washouts' but whether the senders mean the Gila bridge or whether they have other and more immediate trou- bles of their own, is all conjecture. It is surmised though that the accumu- lated passengers at Maricopa are un- able to get anywhere unless the Yuma people send for them with a switch engine.
 The Western Union Telegraph Co.,, is again among the seriously injured though it is by no means reckoned among the dead. The long distance telephone wire to Tucson is still a real ity, crossing the river at Florence, and the Western Union tied the end of it to their wire and proceeded to do bus mess as usual though it was a bit in- convenient. Telephoning and tele graphing on the same wire at the same time is feasible but not satisfactory.
 The present flood in the rivers can not be caused entirely by the rain. The rains in eastern Arizona have been heavy but not unprecedented. How ever there has been an unusual accum- 5ulation of snow during the winter and the weather has been so warm that the rains have undoubtedly melted a large part of the snow and the two together. have swollen the already full streams to hitherto unrecorded heights.
 Speaker Webb of the assembly has a ranch along the Gila river in Graham county He said last night that on the occasion of the last flood the highest point on his farm was four feet under water. If the present flood is still high CT he is in doubt whether or not he has any farm now

KING HITS TEMPLAR-Phoenix Commandery No. 3, K. T. will tonight confer the Templar degree.
 CARNIVAL THIS WEEK-There will be carnival all this week if nothing happens. The weather now seems to be propitious and the big show is ready for action. The grounds are dry and the streets too dried up very materially yesterday.
 THE ONLY PLACE-It is likely that Coffee AIS place was the only restau- rant in the world that served ostrich egg omelets yesterday and it is indeed doubtful if such dish was ever served before in a public house anywhere, ex- cept perhaps in south Africa.
 A NEW TRANSFORMATION CON- CERN-T. J. Duncan formerly deputy sheriff will this morning re-engage in the transportation business which he abandoned two years ago for official life. He has a new outfit and is pre- pared to move anything that can be moved, either by land or water.

CHA BRIDGE GONE AGAIN
It Will Be at Least a Week Before
 Traffic Is Resumed.

The worst that was feared has hap pened and for the third time this year the Gila bridge is wrecked. At least 400 feet of it was taken away by the flood waters Saturday night and Sun day and by this time the break may be still larger. Yesterday afternoon the river was higher than it has ever been known to be before, since the advent of the white man into Arizona A big breach was made in the structure dur ing the night so that passengers and mail on the Maricopa side of the river were cut off yesterday morning though the passengers who left Phoenix Sat urday night, managed to get across the bridge in safety on foot.
 The water evidently continued to raise during the night and yesterday during the day the bridge kept floating away, in sections of a bent or two at a time. Some idea of the force of the water may be conceived when it Is re- membered that the last time the bridge was repaired 65 foot piles were used and sunk nearly two-thirds of the way into the sand and mud. The water digs these piles out almost like it would toothpicks and it was related by a man who saw a couple of bents go yester- day, that the scene was an impressive one. The drift wood gathers against the piles at the surface of the water and continues to gather below until it reaches the bed of the stream. Then the water eats under it and circling around forms a whirlpool that draws the sand away from the piles, loosen ing them. They sway a little for a time and when finally loosened to the bottom the piles themselves are drawn out and perhaps a whole bent of the bridge, drawn up by the roots leaps into the air and falling with a splash is carried down stream. The river is said to be carrying an unusual amount of drift. This is because of it's un-
