famous (Junard line, can boast of
nevor having lost a passenger. The
Telephone of the latter line is her
alded as "the fastest stem wheeler in
the world." Her predecessor made
the run from Portland to As

Passengers on the Alderbrook stage
yesterday morning were witnesses of
a small circus on the Anglo Ameri
can cannery net racks. Three boys
were in an express wagon drawn by
an unfortunate horse. Just as they
had backed up to the cannery to dis
charge some freight, the horse was
seized with a fit and became unman
agable, tearing away down the road
way when ho was caught by some
fishermen who had difficulty to hold
him. He seemed to be scared,
trembling and oavorting considerably.
With some effort he was unhitched
from the wagon, when he commenced
backing and rearing and at last fell
down on the roadway, struggling to
get up. Suddenly ho seemed to be
dying and was still for five minutes,
when he jumped up and fell again,
tumbling from the roadway five feet
down on to some net racks and laid
still for a few minutes, when he got
up and appeared perfectly well. A
gang plank was procured and he was
walked up to terra firma. The owner
was lucky that there was a number of
nshermen near by as the horse other
wise would have been drowned. The
only damage done was the breaking
aown oi tnree net racks, which the
owner of the horse paid for.

Hews Specials From Various Points.
Qunrcr. Ills., May 18. The floods
now prevailing along Mississippi river
have never been equalled except in
1851. Ten days ago the water reached
the danger point; since then it has
been rising at a rate of from 4 to 14
inches daily and the worst is to come.
Thousands of acres are covered with
water and hundreds of families aro
driven from their homes at a minute's
notice. The loss to the farming com
munity i3 simply incalculable, as the
district flooded is the richest in the
valley. On the embankment along the
river hundreds of head ot cattle, and
horses and hogs are gathered without
feed while across on the opposite
bluff are seen hundreds of men, wom
en and children looking forlorn and
despairingnnany aredestitute and suf
fering for food. Communication with
this side is entirely cnt off, every
road being covered with water. All
the factories and warehouses along
the river are seriously embarrassed
and large buildings are gradually be
ing undermined by the rushing waters.
