lone during the hight of the flood
tuesday morning was the theater of
excitement. From to a. m., the
Hood was in full sway, Main street
was under water in places to the
depth OF couple of feet. In the
vicinity of the Commercial hotel, the
roadway was water logged. All sorts
OF articles were atioat, aud residents
we're out wading in the waters saving
what property they could. Some of
the merchandise stock was consider
ably damaged. The overflow of Sutter
Creek was the source of the trouble.
There is protecting Ievee along the
town, but the flood waters got in the
rear. and caused the mischief.
III Amador City they had a great
time Monday on account of high
water. About midnight the Gebris
lodging against the main bridge had
choked the water way so that the
water backed up. flowing over the
floor of the bridge, flooding Chichi-
zola's store to the depth of nearly |
foot. The citizens got out to free
the bridge of the floating debris. and !
to some extent the situation was re-
lleved by their effort Considerable |
damage was done to the stock in
Chichizula's store, estimated at fully
$1,000. In the livery stable the
horses were got out in a precaution-
airy measure. but no particular harm
resulted. The flood was the highest
ever experienced in that section.
Amador creek takes its rise far up
IN the mountains, and the warm
rains brought down the snow from
its headwateIs.
This morning the |. x e. passenger
train made its usual trip. The Sacra-
mento train made connection with the

A Close Call.

The people on Main street were
thrown into an excited state at dusk
tuesday evening by the cry that
horse and wagon and, driver wore
floating down the, middle fork of
jackson creek. Hundreds rushed
excitedly to the scene. 1t appears
that George Folger, the owner of the
local express wagon, who lives ON
Peek bill, after getting through with
his days labor, concluded to take
his outfit home. To do this, it vas
necessary to cross both the middle
and south forks. lie was advised not
to attempt such a, thing. The water
had receded several feet during the
day. but was still high and: the cur
rent swift and dangerous. .. lie had
put his horse and wagon In the livery
stable the night before, at which tine
the water was less in volume than
Tuesday night. lie usually cioss ed
at the junction of the two streams
behind the National hotel. lie made

day. The animal was swept off his
feet before he had proceeded halt way
acl oss, and the whole outht welt
sweeping down the stream. Several
persons, among them Mrs Donovan
and Mis- Alice Jones were Watching
the reckless venture, and raised the
alarm Immediately, and scores ran to
the banks to render, assistance. They
shouted to Folger to jump out After
Il perilous trip of a hundred yards, he
jumped out as he approached Iro-
Jeoting sand bar on the south bank of
the stream before reaching Harry
Jones footbIidge, and managed to
wade to landing, after thorough
soaking and buffeting by the angry
waters. Horse and wagon went down
being rolled over and over by the
current. The wagon was like mill
stone that Weighted down the horse.
He would have speedily got out had
he been free. But he made gallant
fight tor liberty and life. He was
carried down fully a quarter of a
mile, and managed to regain his feet
in the middle of the current opposite
the Jones' residence. Ihe instinct OF
self preservation was keen. Man
might lose self control in the presence
of such danger, but the brute rarely
does. No human aid could reach
him, but he stood there for few
moments as if to recover strength,
and then kicking himself free from
his trappiDgs, he made for the south
bank, and safely landed. He was
helped over the stone wall into jones'
alfalfa patch. The wagon was swept
half mile further down, landing
with other debris where the pipe line
of the canal crosses the creek 1t is
complete wreck. ~" ;*ii

wagon with which to carry on his
business, until the old one can be
made serviceable. or new one obtain

Committed tor Insanity,

O1e of the saddest case of insanity
that has been before the superior
court was that of Joseph Bird, ex
amlned IN open court last Monday
morning. lie was brought from the
hospital to the count room in a buggy
and strapped. He had been very vic
lent that morning in resisting all
efforts to put on his clothing. it re-
quired the united strength of three
officers to hold him i'll anything like
su JjectiOn. When be reached the
court house he was quite exhausted
with the exertions be lad put forth.
and was quiet from sheer exhaustion
OF his physical energies. 1t was
evident to the casual observed that
his mind was in ruins. 10 add 20 his
deplorable condition, he was stone
ollnd, although protesting that he
could see. lie appeared to answer
questions nationally enough for
while, aud then became incoherent
and wild. He said he was 46 years
old; he is really 49, he was born in
England; had been III California nine
years, and had received a shock while
at the electric plant at Electra about
two years ago, which rendered him
unconscious. lie has a wife and one
child living at Electra. Eyidences
of mind arrangement have been COM
ing on for some time. First his sight
failed, whether wholly or partly due
to the electric shock we cannot say.
FoI about year he has been totally
blind. But with the impairment of
his mind, he began to imagine he
was not treated right, that he was
going to sue the company, and waxed
violent, so that he became dangerous
to be at large At the hospital he
imagined he was aboard ship, spread
ing sail He started to dive, and
struck his head heavily against the
hoor, bruising his face badly. He
Imagined be was a dead shot, and
made a deputy sheriff, he shot all
who came in sight. In the court
room he claimed to be the inventor
of electricity. and victim of other
queer notions. He was an efficient
worker at the electric plant up to the
time of his disablement While at
the switch hoard he came in contact |
with live wire, but he and family |
have continued to live at the works, |
being cared for by the company. lie |
was committed to the inasne asylum
at Stockton. There is no chaGce of
his recovery.

A Narrow Escape.

A miner named Jas. Searle, employ
ed at the Fremont mine, had all ex-
perience Tuesday morning that will
cling to him thI ough life. He lives
in Amador City or that neighborhood
and travels to and from his work on
horse back, crossing Ranchacia creek
near the Bunker Hill mill. tuesday
he found the creek so swollen by the
rains that 1t was unfordable. There
is small suspension foot bridge near
by, moored by wire cable at either
side. He rad ridden across this once
or twice before and he concluded to
try this plan of crossing en- this
occasion. Reaching about the center
the fiimsy structure broke, and horse
and rider were plunged into the boil
ing current. Searle was swept down
the stream several hundred feet.
Finally he managed TO grasp some
willow; bushes that grew over the
creek and in this manner pulled him
self out of his dangerous predicament.
He thinks he is fortunate in getting
out alive. -A

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ON THE RIVER FRONT

The northwest blow Of yesterday had all
the strength of a mid March gale, and the
wind was particularly strong along the
river. During the flood tide yesterday
morning. the seas on the river between this
city and Alexandria were as large as are
often seen in Chesapeake bay In heavy
easterly storm. They would strike the bow
of a steamer, curl up and almost ride on
her deck, while the spray would fly high
enough to wet the upper decks of the
boats. The wind blew the water out of
the river and caused unusually low tides.
SO low that they prevented the river steam
ers from getting into many of the. creeks.
and caused disarrangement of schedules.
The steamer Estelle Randall attempted to
go into Grinders wharf on Mattawoman
creek yesterday. but found the water so
low that she could not do so.
The big four-masted schooner John A.
Delvin completed the unloading of cargo
of phosphate rock at Alexandria,, and
sailed yesterday in tow of the tug NJ.
Mitchell Davis for Baltimore to load soft
coal for southern port. The big barge

Alexandria for several days past, was
put in the dock vacated by the Devin at

lizer material.

The first sturgeon of the season was re-
ceived from Old Point yesterday In a ship
ment of fresh fish to Sheaffer & Stuart at
the fish wharf. The big fish weighed about
100 pounds, and was sold to uptown deal
ers. The fish was as fine a one as Is ordi-
narily caught in the Potomac in midsea-
son.
The owners Of Chapman's fishing shore
near Glymont, Nd, yesterday sent the
twenty or more men who will operate the
big seine there this season to the shore
aboard the power schooner Emma, and the
hauling of seine will be started within the
next two or three days. The catch made
by the seine will be sent to this city on the
Emma, which was brought to the Potomac
from Baltimore for service as q run-boat
during the fishing season now opening.
