St. Boniface, on the east side, in the vicinity of the hospital, is also submerged, and he highway is impassable for teams. The water is still rising in Red River, at the foot of Post~oflice and Notre Dame streets, having risen about three inches in the last twenty-four hours. A number of people nearest the bank have been compelled to mate and retire to higher ground. The water has been steadily rising all after- noon, but with the present warm weather and rapid fall at Emerson and'other points up stream a decline is hopefully looked for. Intense anxiety prevails regarding the Louise railway and traffic bridge. It is being weighted down by iron and stone placed at each abutment to preventawash- out. the water being now beyond the bridge. Altogether only three inches is now required to reach the girders. The swing is closed and navigation interrupted until the river falls. Three express trains have arrived from the south in the last two days without any mail matter.

Chief Griffiths ridicules the extended account of Wood‘s confession, and says that the jour- nal in question has been badly eold. Detective Doyle has gone on a hunting expedition with Chief Griffiths. The Brantford Expositor says that the true story is as follows: Alfred Woods was a hrakesman on the G. T. R... and he and his wife. Miss Metler. took their meals or boarded and lodged at Fort Erie. Woods and his wife lived unha pily together. and the mother-in-law and re. Woods' brother George assert that Woods was cruel to his wife. At any rate it is asserted that Woods drew his money and left, hastened by the threat of his hrother-in-law that he would kill him it he ever returned. This separation took place after the murder of Sage, but we have not the exact date. Recently Mrs. Metler went to New York to get a certificate of Woods' death. and procured it, but she and the family ridicule the idea that Woods ever knew anything about the Sage murder. except what he read in the papers. To dispose of the story that Woods worked for Mr. Cockshutt, we applied there.- and find that no such man was in the employ of any of these gentlemen at that time. To make the matter absolutely certain that it was impossible that Woode’ story is true. we telegraphed to Mr. Colcleugh. the G.T.R. agent at Fort Erie, and he telegraphs us that Alfred Woods was on duty at the time of the murder, and unless he could be in two places at the same time there is a diflicu‘ltythat cannot be overcome.
