AUGUSTA, Ca, Aug. 27.-With prac-
tically the entire city under water
business houses, mills and factories
closed, telephone and telegraph com
munication with the exception OF one
wire destroyed, daily newspapers sus-
pended, electric light and power plants
put out of commission and with row
boats the only means of communication
in the main streets, Augusta is exper-
fencing the worst time in her history.
Last night two telegraph operators
swan to the Chamber of Commerce
building cut in a wire and this is now
the only means of sending news to the
outside world.
1t is too early yet to estimate the
amount Of damage, but it is believed
that it will far exceed that caused by
the big flood of 1883. The retail deal
ers had only recently put in their fall
stocks and these were for the most
part stored in cellars all of which were
hopelessly flooded before their con-
tents could be removed.
The city was in total darkness last
night, the flood having extinguished
the fires under the boilers of the elec-
trio light plant. The street cars have
not been running since early yesterday
from the same cause
Three deaths have been reported, two
white persons and one negro, names
unknown.
The Union station is under 10 feet of
water; on Broad street is 8 feet deep
and Green street 6 feet and still ris-
ing. Word CONS from Camden, S. c.
that there were but five deaths from
the collapse Of the toll bridge where
yesterday it was reported that 10 were
drowned.

"He TraeIs a Good Deal" Says Man
Who May Be ReiatlVe-signer
of Affidavit Not

Efforts to locate "W. Cochrane," de-
clared. in an affidavit made by Police
Commissioner Charles II. Fuller, to be
the lessee of the dives on North Ala
media street, which the police commits
sioner was accunsed of owning, have
failed.
Although it was stated "Cochrane"
lives in Fresno, newspaper reporters IN
the Raisin city have not been able 10
find him.
A. d. Laughlin, the notary who exc
cuted the affidavit, says he was under
the impression "Cochrane" resides IN
Riverside county.
The mysterious individual who col
lected the rents from the Alameda
street brothels is causing no end OF
talk by his failure to put in an appear
ance. 1t is believed Prosecutor Thomas
Woolwine might have something to say
to him regarding the law that mas neen
violated. Others are eager to ask MN
what connection he has with the
Pioneer Truck company, in whose name
the property is assessed and whose pres
ident is Police Commissioner Fuiler'
There is u "W F. Cochrane, fore
man of the Fuller ranch at Corona,
who declares he is not the man who
signed the affidavit, but says he has a
brother. wv. Cochrane," who travels
a great deal"
In the meantime six dives have been
closed by the police at the request OF
the Owners"
ANY possible action tending to ques-
tion Charles H. Fuller's fitness to serve
as a police commissioner will be de-
layed until Mayor Harper returns from
the east.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.-In the
suit of Emil Gibbons Cohen against
court January 20, 1904, to recover $4,000
from the government for alleged dam
ages resulting from the diversion OF
Sausal creek in Alameda county, Judge
Morrow handed down a decision today
that the petitioner is not entitled to re-
cover and the action is dismissed.
The petitioner was the owner or 1lO
acres of land lying along the south side
of the canal and along Sausal creek,
and claimed that before the government
work began each tide brought onto the
land silt, gravel and alluvial earth, all
of which was of benefit to the petitioner
in the measure of dollars and cents.
In his opinion Judge Morrow said:
1.-THE riparian owner, having no vested
right in future accretions, cannot main
tain an action for damages against one
who lawfully obstructs or diverts a
stream carrying such accretions so that
such deposits are no longer formed ad-
jacent to the premises"

"Now, compare compensation ana
