levees are broken near Durham and the
surrounding country flooded.
Barney Linn, while attempting to re
move his wife and four children in a
small boat, was caught in the current.
The boat was swamped and two children,
nnd a girl, drowned. The others
escaped.
. The last report to reach here is that
the two ends of the Chico free bridge
still stand, but that they are rap
idly sinking from the great mass oi de
bris collected agaiust them, the rush of
water being over the top of the abutment.
The draw of this bridge was washed
away yesterday. Immensa quantities of
fencing, log3, whole trees and debris of
every kind is lodged against the piers,
whioh the men in charge are powerless
to prevent. It is simply impossible for
human power, in such a current, to meet
and ward off floating masses. Wheu
once lodged there is still less chance to
move them. It is feared the biidge, if
parried down the river by way of Colusa,
Till inflict damage ou the Butte City
orijges. It may, however, float to
Knight's landing or to Sacramento.
The surrounding country is pretty gen
erally under water. The loss of stock
will reach up into the hundreds.
AETIFIOTAL LAKES KEAB COLUSA.
CoLUtiA, Cal., Dec. 12. The Sacramcn
to river is 2i teet 7 inches above low wa
ter mark to day, which is eight inches
higher than ever before known. It is
still rising slowly, but there is no pros
pect of any more rain. The levees on
the en&t side of the river are broken in
a score of places, and the territory north
and east of here is all under water. A
number ot ranchers have moved their
families and stock into town for safety.
The latest reports to night state that
tbe river is running over the levee at Sy
camore and that Porter's warehouse at
iSutte City ha3 been washed out.
The levee broke at Todman's this after
noon, and Colusa is now in danger from
backwater.
Reports to-night from towns north of
here state that the water is two feet deep
in the streets of Jacinto. Travel has
stopped from here in every direction ex
cept on the railroad.
Chickens and turkeys that have roost
ed iu trees and coops for two days are
now falling into the water and perishing
by hundreds. The Chico bridge, that
washed out, is now lodged near Jacinto.
THE YUBA AND FKATHEB FALLING.
Maktsville, Cal., Dec. 12. Both the
Yuba and Feather rivers at this point
began to recede this morning. This
evening indications are that they will
not again rise unless another storm in
the mountains should follow. The back
water of the Sacramento river in the
Tule basin of Sutter county, is causing
much trouble and doiug much damage
to grain crops. The levee at Bosson's
ranch, the Humphrey's back levee and a
small portion of the Knights Landing
railroad grade in south-west Sutter have
been broken, letting in water over lands
that have been seeded. The loss here
will probably amount to several thou
sand dollars.
Levees broke at Hudson's and Elder's
and Park's places to-day, flooding con
siderable country.
Trains commenced running from this
city north this afternoon.
THE RAILROAD STILL BLOCKADED.
Redding, Cal., Dec. 12. There have
been no local trains since Tuesday night.
The overland from the north is still here
waiting repairs of the road between Cot
tonwood and Red Bluff. Another train
from the north came down this morning,
deposited passengers and mail aud re
turned. It is impossible to tell when
the breaks will be repaired. There is a
little rain and the weather is threaten
ing. itrvEKS in los Angeles' stkeets.
Los Angeles, Deo. 12. The heaviest
continued rain for years set in early last
evening aud fell steadily through the
night and to-day, and there are still no
signs of clearing weather. From 5
o'clock yesterday till 11 this morning
the fail was nearly three .inches. Tbe
streets are badly damaged on the hill
sides, and the cable lines are stopped by
the water flooding tue power houses.
More serious damage is expected before
the storm is over.
Colusa's peeil.
S oodland, Cal., Dec- 12. A Colusa
man, who came here last evening, says
tbe bacramento river is now running six
teet mguer tlian the town, and if the
levee breaks people will have to either
Bwinj or drown. The great country
around there is in a horrible condition,
and travel in entirely impeded. The
railroad near Willows has been washed
away, ana tne inhabitants above the
break are isolated. Hundreds of ranch
ers in all parts of the country are shut off
from any communication with the out
side world. "When I left my place yes
terday," he said, "the water had risen
above the porch of my house and I had
to make my escape in a rudely construct
ed boat."
THE SACEAMEXTO EAPIDLY SUBSIDING.
Sacramento, Cal., Dec. 12. To-night
the water in the Sacramento river is ra
pidly falling, and it is thought all danger
of flood has passed. There have been no
less than five breaks in the levees, one
above the city about twelve miles, at
Elkhorn, and the others below, a distance
of ten miles. These breaks allowed an
immense volume of water to escape and
spread over the country, thereby reduc
ing the current in the main channel.

fs feared the whole block is in jeopardy.
3 a. m. Mr. Lietel savs he was arous
ed from sleep by an explosion which oc
curred on the second floor near the head
of the stairs, cutting off their escape in
that direction. They were therefore
compelled to jump to the roof of an ad
joining building, and cross over two
other buildings, finally reaching a place
I of safety.
The people think now that all
I the inmates of the burning building sue-
ceeded in getting out.
The fire is under
control.

THE FARMERS WERE ENTHUSIASTIC.
Gigantic Dimensions and Partial Success of
the Kansas Sugar Swindle,
Kansas City, Deo. 12. The great su
gar swindle planned by the American
Sugar Company bas entirely collapsed,
and the townships whioh voted bonds
to foster the industry will lose nothing.
All the bonds.800,000 in amount, voted in
Meade county, have been canoeled, and
the scrp issued lis the various townships
in Clare connty have been destroyed ex
cepting $15,000 voted by townships, and
this cannot be negotiated, owing to the
publicity given to the swindle. The su
gar company's soheme was a gigantic
one, and if it had been successfully ex
ecuted a million dollars would not have
covered the loss sustained by -the coun
ties and townships where the company
contemplated operations.
Agents had been actively at work in
Stanton, Haskell, Pratt, Grant and John
son counties, and had suooeeded iu r
rising such enthusiasm over the industry
that they came to regard it as their sal
vation from possible ruin caused by the
uncertainty of the. yield from other
crops than sorghum. The secretary of
the state board of agriculture says that
the eompany's plan included the prom
ised erection of a hundred mills in Wes
tern Kansas, for whioh a subsidy aggre
gating over 31,000,000 was to have been
asked.
HUNG OVEE AH ABYSS.
A wfnl Suspense of Passengers ou a Canadian
Pacific Train.
Winnipeg, Dec. 12. A citizen just ar
rived from the Pacific coast tells of a
thrilling acoident to the Canadian Pa
cific through express in the mountains.
A rail gave way on a mountain side high
above the Columbia river. The engine
passed over safely, but the two ooaches
following swung ont and toppled over-
The bank was almost perpendicular and
the cars would have tumbled several
hundred feet into the river had it "not
been that the coupling twisted around
and held the tremendous weight. There
were the two cars, one with its load of
passengers suspended over the abyss.
The weight of the engine and balance of
the cars prevented the whole train from
being drawn down by the suspended
cars.
The suspense was terrible. The fright
ened passengers were compelled to re
main in their perilous position until the
train hands could build a platform un
derneath and around the hanging cars,
enabling all to make their escape. The
place where the accident occurred ia
considered the most dangerous in the
mountains.

THE FAB WEST UNITED.
More States Seek to Get into the New As
sociation. Washington, Deo. 12 The Northwest
ern Association held another meeting to
night, which was attended by Senators
Moody, Pierce, Casey, Squire, Allen
Hearst, Dol'ph, Stewart and Tllr
Representatives Pickler, Carter. Morrow,
Clume, Townsend, Dubois and Casev A
committee was appointed to consider the
advisability of inviting other states to
join in the association, a plea being
made by Senator Pierce for Minnesota,
and by Senator Moody for Nebraska. It
was claimed that considering her situa
tion in the Northwest, Minnesota should
oe surely recogmzed. A committee was
appointed to consider and define the geo
graphical lines and report. An adjourn
ment was taken to next Wednesday, when
permanent organization will be perfected.
A committe was also appointed to pro.
cure, if possible, better quarters, it being
the desire of many to give the association
many of the features of a club. Senator
Taller, who attended the meeting for the
first time, said he believed in it and that
the very idea that this great section was
working together would give the men of
that section greater influence in oongress.
It is probable that tbe Minnesota mem- ,.
bers will be asked to join, and in all proba
bility the North Star state will partici
pate in the organization.
