FAVORABLE WIND
Checked the Rising Waters at Pittsburg - Flood Conditions
 Serious in California
FINE FRUIT DAMAGED

Pittsburg. March 2O.-Clearing weather and cold wind have checked the rising streams at the head waters and all danger of an other flood has passed.
 Warnings of 25 foot stage were sent out yesterday, but from the present indications the rivers at this point will not go higher than twenty-three feet, which is one foot above the danger line.
 This stage will inundate the low lying districts and cause some incon- venience to persons living on the river fronts. but will not result in any serious damage to property.
 At 3 o'clock to-day the gauge at Market street registered twenty-one feet six inches and rising four inches an hour.
 Chico, Cal, March 20.-Flood con- ditions are still serious. The village of Dreadful, near Oreyille, has been entirely destroyed by the Feather river. More than 200 persons were driven to take refuge in trees and scores of houses where they were exposed to rain and cold for forty eight hours. Small boats rescued many. One boat engaged in rescue work was capsized and seven were drowned. The work of rescue con tinues.
 San Jose, Cal, March 2O.--More damage has been done by floods in the creeks in the last twenty-four hours than in the last fifteen years. Erosion of the banks will cost many acres of fine fruit and farming lands, while the washing of bridges, notably on the Southern Pacific, will stop all traffic from San Jose to Los Gatos by way of Campbell for weeks.
 PITTSBURG, March 2U-i6e .:.- nongahela, Allegheny. Ohio. Youghio- gheny and Eiskiminetas rivers are rls- ing rapidly on account of heavy rains throughout the western part of Penn. sylvania., Creeks and other small streams in this vicinity are already swollen beyond their banks. Fore caster Penny.Witt of the United States weather bureau predicts a twen- ty-five foot stage this afternoon. If this Is realized it will inundate the low lands of Allegheny county.
 Everybody iocated in the flood zone are taking precautions to protect their property. People are moving out of the houses located in the lower part of Al legheny. Business houses In the down. town district of Pittsburg and Ale gheny are moving their goods to high CT floors after majority of them had just finished moving the goods into basements following the recent great food
 A storm. accompanied by lightning and wind. caused an interruption to telephone and telegraph communication throughout western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. For hours there was absolutely no communication whatever with western Pennsylvania points.
 In many suburbs the water is pour ing rapidly into the houses. The rise came so unexpectedly that many of the people in outlying districts were un- prepared and have sustained consid- erable damage.

Bolivar. to Rockville, and will make an eff
fort to run down the negro who shot and
robbed Charles L. Souder, the young Vir-

who is supposed by some to have ever
since been lurking in the vicinity of the
crime. The man and his dog arrived here
yesterday afternoon, and with Sheriff Colt
and Deputy Sheriff Mullcan left for the
locality where the desperate is believed to
have been last seen. About two hours were
spent casting about but no trail was
struck. Last night the vicinity Of Redland
was visited and several hours were spent
in securing that country, but with no bet
ter results. The search will be resumed
today.
The action Of the commissioners in send
ing for the manhunter was prompted by a
number of the citizens Of the Redland and
Olney neighborhoods. who are of the opin-
ion that the man wanted has not left that
section. but Sheriff Colt says the man was
traced to AdamStown. Frederick county,
and 1t is not believed he has returned to
the county
Branch expresses himself as dubious
about the outcome Of the search, although
he says his dog will locate the fugitive il
he is in the section.

"JAIL mel" MAN IS HERE
LOUIS A. GOURDAIN OF CHICAGO
AT ST. ELIZABETH.
He's the Odd Card Who Broke Into
Jail-1s Probably Hope
lessly Insane.

Louis A Gourdain of Chicago notorious
because OF his eccentric efforts to break
into Jail, was delivered at the Government
Hospital for the Insane by the Atlanta au-
thorfties about IL o'clock this morning He
was Immediately examined by DR.. White,
who discovered that Gourdain imagines
his prison term has expired. and that the
bringing of him here means an extended
and unjust Incarceration for him. Gourdain
refuses to eat cooked food, and the At
lanta authorities had lot of trouble with
him on this score. Part of the time they
had to give him nourishment by injection.
Experts declare that there is hardly a
chance of Gourdain recovering his reason,
as the type OF disease from which he Is
sunering is progressive.
What Started the Row.
Gourdain was convicted of using the
mails for lottery purposes and was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary at Joliet. IL.
While his trial was in progress he made a
speech to the jury, and declared that If he
was convicted he would never appeal his
case, but would serve his sentence
After he was sent to the penitentiary his
attorneys appea !ed. and he was released
and began long series of efforts to get
back into prison. The efforts of his lawyers
in the courts awaited nothing, and he was
again sent to Joliet After being there
a short time he was transferred to Atlanta
last June.
Gourdain came to Washington about this
time last year, arriving with great flour
1sh of trumpets and announcing that he was
going to compel the federal authorities to
put him in Jail. At the hotel where he
stayed he dispensed unheard-of tips to the
eager servants and made a big splurge.
Visits Justice Harlan.
He visited the Supreme Court chambers,
but 1t was recess ilme and there was no
justice in town. justice Harlan was the
most accessible. and he was at Marriage AN
sett Pier, SO Gourdain set forth to consult
him. He stopped in New York long enough
to get himself advertised in the papers,
having carried press agent with him
from Washington for the purpose, and
then went on to Narragansett Pier where
he had a conference with Justice Harlan
on the porch of the latter's cottage. The
justice could give Gourdain no assurance
that he would be jailed, but treated the
man with some consideration. Gourdain' S
father, colonel of the famous Louisiana
Tigers during the civil war, having been
an acquaintance of the Justices.
From Rhode Island GouFdain returned to
Chicago, breathing wild threats of what he
was going to do when he got started. but
he finally subsidized and later had his fondest
wish gratitied by being put behind the bars.
