The Zechow Mnrder Mystery.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. 8. The Ze
chow murder mystery dally becomes deep
er, despite the fact that the police are
gaining more information daily. The
date that Zechow stayed at the Palace
restaurant, Westminster, was October
according to the register, the night before
the opening of the exhibition. As a copy
of the Seattle Telegraph of November
7 was found on the body, the deceased
must have paid the city another visit
about a month later. It is stated that
among the papers on his body Is one con
taining an offer to Zechow for the pay
ment of $20,000, if he would relinquish all
claims to the estate. This strengthens the
theory of the murder to put him out of
the way, as it seems that Zechow refused
the offer.

lower part o Homestead is under water.
Driftwood and ice last night knocked the
falsework from under the new Brown
bridge across the Monongahela. The

flood, which disabled their pumps. The
plant will probably be able to resume on
Friday.

Allegheny and Monongahela rivers have
reached their limit, and the worst is over.
The highest marks were recorded about
10 o'clock this morning, and soon after the
water began slowly to recede. The great
mass of ice which filled both rivers during
the past 24 hours is slowly disappearing.
Locally the loss will be comparatively
light The general los on both rivers is
estimated at about $150,000. This includes
wrecked coal-barges, flooded mills and
mines, and the damage to exposed river
properties.
BELLAniE, O., Jan. 8. The river at
this point is 31 feet and rising rapidly. It
Is believed the river will leave its banks
tonight. All the lowlands are flooded.

lips and a large wharfboat have been
crushed by the ice. Great fears of loss of
property are entertained here.
POMEROY, O., Jan. 8. The government
mark at 8 o'clock this morning shows 29
feet of water, and the river is rising six
Inches an hour. Business men are moving
their stores out of the cellars. Since 18S4

IN CALIFORNIA.
So Far the Snowplown Have Kept the
Roads Open.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 8. At the offices
of the Southern Pacific Company this af
ternoon it was learned that trains were
running as usual on all parts of the sys
tem, though snow had been falling heavi
ly in the mountains all day. Should the
snowfall continue during the night and
tomorrow, which is probable, some tem
porary disturbance of traffic may result
on the Central Pacific or the California &
Oregon line. The officials, however, ex
press confidence In the ability of the
forces at command to keep both roads
open. The rotary snowplow3 are doing
good service during the present storm.
DUNSMUIR, Cal., Jan. 8. The snow
here has changed to a light rain, but it
Is still snowing near the summit. The ro
tary plow cut its way through 25 feet of
snow and opened the road so that trains
are nearly on time. The snow caved in on
the rotary and buried it, but it was pulled
out and started In again. A gang of Chi
namen have been sent up to assist In the
snow work, and take the place of a gang
of white cigarette fiends, who proved un
reliable and unfit for the work.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 8. A warm driz
zling rain fell here most all day. It is not
raining tonight, but the weather is threat
ening. The rainfall thus far this season
Is 15 Inches, three times what it was last
season to date. The river is not high
here, but 20 to 30 miles south the back
water is giving some trouble.
WOODLAND. Cal.. Jan. 8. The weather
is again stormy. Rain fell throughout the
country during the day. The mountain
streams In the northern part are reported
to be much swollen and serious fears are
entertained that there will be another
flood and more interruption to railroad
traffic The first through train passed
over the break south of Woodland last
night.
NAPA, Cal., Jan. 8. A heavy rain set
in here early this morning, and has con
tinued nearly all day, amounting to
1.00125 inches, making 22 inches for the
seascn. The river is running full banks
and will doubtless overflow.
Bad Weather Expected.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8. A storm of
evidently great energy is rapidly ap
proaching the North Pacific coast, an
nounces the weather bureau this morning,
and has already caused rain from Wash
ington southward to Central California,
which is likely to extend over the entire
state and cause heavy snow in the moun
tains, especially in the northern portion.
Dangerous southeast gales are anticipated
from San Francisco northward, and it
Is unsafe for any but the stanchest ves
sels to leave port.
A Disgraced Hclrest.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8. The World prints
the following from Boston. Miss Isabella
Blgelow, who possesses in her own right
over $75,000, today accompanied her col
ored coachman, Charles W. Harris, to the
Brookline police court, where he was
charged with Improper relations with
her. He was held in $2000 toil. Miss
Blgelow Is about 23 years old, and be
longs to one of the leading families in

at 18 entered society, and for two years
was a leading favorite. On the death of
her father, who was a millionaire, she
came into her fortune and immediately
left her home, taking Harris with her.
She was induced to leave Brookline some
time ago, after the birth of a quadroon
child. She has just returned, and the ar
rest was made In order to get her to leave
town again.
A Crank's Great Task.
SANTA ROSA. Cal., Jan. 8. Ben Buck
ley, the well-known "wild man" of So
noma county, who for the last 20 years
has been living in the open air on a ranch
In Blucher valley, with only a few old
grain bags to protect him from the ele
ments, appeared on the streets of this
city today, and declared his intention of
proceeding to Sacramento to take a hand
in the senatorial struggle. He believes he
is president of the United States, and says
unless a good man be elected to the sen
ate by the legislature he will remove the
senator-elect at once. He left for the
capital city this morning, taking his
grain bags and other peculiar effects with
him.
Wreckage of the Montserrat.
PORT TOWNSEND. Jan.S. A stanchion
belonging to the collier Montserrat was
found last Saturday 19 miles southwest of
Cape Flattery by the tug Pioneer, and
was taken to Port Angeles, where it was
identified by several shipping men as be
longing to that ill-fated vessel. The
stanchion is about six feet long, five
inches In diameter, painted black at both
ends and white In the middle, and bore
evidence of having been forcibly wrenched
ircm the main deck, where it was used
to support the skids, which supported the
lifeboat. Two or three, ship captains, who
are familiar with the Montserrat. posi
tively Identify the timber as coming from
the lost collier. The strangest part of the
incident is how the stanchion came to be
found at this late day, when It Is gener
ally conceded that the vessel foundered
about December 9, since which time strong
southerlv erlpi and currents should, it
seems, have carried it up the Vancouver
shore.
ANDREW JACKSON DAY.
Prominent Democrats Meet a.t a.
Philadelphia Banq.net.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. S. With
the shadow of a great party defeat over
hanging them, the members of the Young
Men's Democratic Association held their
loth annual banquet at Saint George's
hall tonight, in honor of Jackson's de
feat over the British in New Orleans in
the war of 1812. Every democratic politi
cian of any note in the city was present,
and the party leaders from nearly every
county in the state traveled to Philadel
phia to testify by their presence that
they were as loyal in defeat as in victory.
Vice-President Stevenson was to have
been present and respond to a toast, but
owing to the serious Illness of his daugh
ter, he could not attend. Letters of re
gret were also received from President
Cleveland, all the members of his cabinet
and ex-Governor Russell, of Massachu
setts. Though deprived of the presence
of the vice-president, several of the party's
national leaders were present, and when
W. F. Harrity, the national chairman,
called the diners to order and sat down
with Representative William L. Wilson
upon his left and Representative McMUlin
upon his right, the two representatives
were loudly cheered. There were also
present United States Senator White, of
California; Assistant Secretary of War
Doe, United States Treasurer Morgan,
W. E. Morgan, assistant to Director of
the Mint Preston, and Representative
Straus, of New York. The first toast of
the evening was "The Memory of Jack
son," drunk standing. Mr. Harrity
called upon Senator White to respond to
the toast "As Party Organization Is the
Controlling Force In National Legislation,
the Preservation of Great Parties Thor
oughly Organized Is the Best Security
for National Liberty." Mr. White said,
in part:
"Whether for weal or for woe, great par
ties, especially In a country where the
elective franchise is conferred with but
slight distinction, must generally com
mand the situation and control the gov
ernment. It has been said that blind
partisanship is responsible for most of
the mlsgovernment to which the country
has been subjected, and, therefore, it is
urged that to Ignore party lines would
work a complete cure, provide a sovereign
remedy. I think that this Is a mistake,
that it is not even theoretically correct
and that there is nothing in our experience
to justify such conclusion.
"Republicans differ as to the extent of
the protection which should be afforded.
We have the McKInleyltes (I believe there
are some of them still), and the antl
McKlnleyltes. In the event of republic
an Incumbency, if each protectionist dog
matically sets up his own views, the in
ternal battle will rage much more hotly
than that directed at the ancient demo
cratic enemy. So, on the other hand,
there Is varied opinion'in the democratic
camp as to the precise meaning of tariff
for revenue, and as to the wisdom of
radical action. The clear sense of the
American people recognizes that party
organization is as essential in the fight
for principle as army organization is de
manded in a successful campaign. I do
not deny that improper practices are too
frequently disclosed, especially in munici
palities where a particular political de
nomination has been continuously in
power. We have recently witnessed
vast change. In administrative matters
In the metropolis of the republic,
transfer of authority was brought about
by the formation of a local party having
a definite object in view, nominating its
candidates and supporting them in the
usual legitimate political manner, and
also with the aid of the regular republican
machinery. If the new organization men
tioned has no other principle behind it
than the mere ousting of officials who
have outlived their usefulness, it will
naturally come to an early grave. It
may, perhaps, prove beneficial may serve
its purpose but such institutions are
ephemeral and the country must depend
upon something more permanent it our
liberties are to be conserved and our
welfare guaranteed. There must be re
sponsibility somewhere. When a power
ful party declares Itself, it is responsible
as an organization, and the body as such
is held accountable by the people. It is
this that makea honesty the rule. No, po
litical associations do not lower the stand
ard of patriotism. In good faith, we con
tend as loyal and honest antagonists. Our
organizations are composed of citizens
who are scattered over the entire repub
lic. When the tocsin shall sound, as did
the liberty bell, all these children of the
Union will be ready to vindicate the
honor of their parties and to struggle
against each other only in the generous
rivalry of patriotic endeavor."
Sir. Wilson responded to the toast,
"Moderate and Just Taxation Is the Best
Achievement of Legislative Action," and
Mr. McMlllln to the toast of "Economy
and Fidelity to Public Interests in Ad
ministration Should Be the Paramont
Obligation of Party."
ifcLTfebrnsknns Celebrate.
OMAHA, Jan. 8. The Jacksonian Club,
the leading democratic organization of
the state, celebrated the S2d anniversary
of the birth of Its patron saint, by a
banquet at the Messers hotel. Notables
of the state democracy were present.
Ex-Governor Horace Boles, of Iowa, was
the principal speaker of the evening.
Governor Boles turned his attention to
the currency question and after outlin
ing a policy, said in conclusion:
"If the next national democratic con
vention will discard political attitudes of
every description, commit the party un
equivocally to a ratio at which gold and
silver shall be equally freely coined and
point out In explicit terms the legislation
that should be adopted to preserve the
parity of the two metals, and do this In a
rational and reasonable way, the masses
of American voters will come to the aid
of the party thus committed, and the
democracy will again be triumphant. If
it falls to do this, changing circumstances
or a better judgment than my own must
reveal the issue on which it can succeed."
RECOVERED HIS SHIELD.?
A Policeman Return to the Force
After a Lone-Fought Trial.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8. The celebrated
case of Roundsman Goodwin against the
police board, which was the longest and
most persistently fought litigation in the
annals of the police department, ended
today by the board reinstating Goodwin
to his former rank, and paying him $5000
back salary and $1145 expenses for prose
cuting his suit. Goodwin got his shield
and it was pinned on him again after
an absence of six years. Goodwin was
formerly attached to the Forty-ninth-street
station, under Captain Carpenter.
In August, 1SS9, a carriage, In which
Goodwin and his wife were-out driving,
upset near the police station. Goodwin
was carried into the station-house slightly
hurt. He was charged by Captain Car
penter with being intoxicated. The cap
tain demanded his resignation, and ob
tained it. Goodwin signed the paper, but
added the words, "under duress." ' Ser
geant McGann, under orders from Cap
tain Carpenter, erased the words.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Jan. S. Disorder pre
vailed here all day, and it is nothing short
of a miracle that serious bloodshed was
averted. The unemployed assembled
early this morning and marched to the
man-of-war Tourmaline, whose captain
yesterday said that he would use his in
fluence with the authorities in obtaining
relief from the destitution now prevailing.
His ministrations were fruitless, it seems,
for when the crowd of unfortunates ap
peared, he referred them to the governor.
Disappointed and exasperated with hun
ger, the men reformed their ranks and
marched to the government house, where
a. deputation waited upon the executive.
The latter informed them that the govern
ment was considering measures of relief,
and advised them, pending action on the
bills, to call upon the city representatives
for their immediate wants. The mob.
for such it had now become, then went
to the legislative buildings, but were re
fused admission. Enraged at this, they
burst open the doors and surged Into the
corridors. The police on guard attempted
to drive them out, but were overwhelmed
by the infuriated mob and forced to re
tire, leaving the building at the mercy of
the Invaders. The assembly, not being
In session, few members were in the
building at the time, and those lost no
time in fleeing from the place. The police
reserves were summoned, and after a des
perate struggle, managed to eject the in
truders. In the afternoon the crowd re
assembled and returned to the govern
ment house, where it complained to the
governor of Its treatment during the
morning and reiterated its demand for
relief. The governor repeated his advice
of the forenoon, and said he was power
less to act without the co-operation of
the ministry. The crowd once more made
Its way to the legislative buildings. The
hour for the convening of the session
was near at hand, and knowing the deter
mination of the mob, thtose inside, on be
ing informed of Its approach, began prep
arations to prevent Its entry. The doors
were barricaded and the whole available
police force were stationed around the
building. The crowd swelled in dimen
sions momentarily, and soon the whole
of the grounds In front of the structure
was a solid mass of humanity, In the
midst of which floated a large flag bear
ing, conspicuously, the words: "Work or
bread," while ejaculations of similar im
port were made by the crowd. By this
time the mob. seeing that no attention
was being paid to its demands by those
inside the building, made a rush for the
doors. The police were powerless to stem
the tide of the Infuriated mass, and many
officers were Injured. One sergeant was
thrown over the steps leading to the
main door and seriously hurt, while an
other officer had his cheek cut open with
a stone. Finally, Premier Greene ap
peared on the balcony, and in a speech
expressed regret at the condition of the
colony and the destitution prevailing
among the people. He promised that em
ployment would be given within three
days, and begged the crowd to have
patience and confidence In the govern
ment. He promised to resign, if work
was not provided within the time specified.
This did not satisfy the crowd, who told
him plainly that they would break into
the stores and get food. This threat the
mob Immediately put into effect. March
ing down Into the city, the rioters made
an attack upon the premises occupied by
.awm Duder, who was recently com-
I pelled toflbn. The crowd found the
, oet'TOHpiacs cM3Hy? Ud",BTet.th-SlnilTi,!Kts
In other stores. Johnston's store, near by,
then received the mob's attention. In
this establishment a large quantity of
provisions was found. Just as they were
being carried out a large force of police
appeared on the scene and drove the
mob away, after a severe struggle, dur
ing which the police were forced to draw
their swords in self-defense. A body of
mounted police arrived shortly afterwards,
and the combined forces managed to keep
the crowd at bay until darkness came,
when the rioters dispersed. Four of the
leaders have been arrested. The streets
tonight are crowded with people. A guard
from the war ship Tourmaline, Is doing
patrol duty In front of the principal build
ings, as it is feared that other raids may
be attempted during the night.
