THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1903. AFTER FORTY YEARS Ing hours, -when all In the vicinity -were asleep. Damage to the extent ol JMOO was done to the new building. Had the timber been slightly drier the entire structure -would have gone up In smoke, and being In a quiet neighborhood would probably have heen completely destroyed with none to witness. Jeff Farmer, who is painting the build ing, discovered the work of the incen diary yesterday morning when he began work, and the matter was at once re ported to the police, but. as usual, was kept a profound secret by those in au thprity. GUNS IN THE AIR Meier & Frank Company Meier Frank Company Comrades of the War Meet Again as Old Men. Sailor Boarding-House Men Have Wordy War. 1 SERVED 1H -THE SAME COMPANY J.' D. Jackson Receives a Visit From .Han "Who Jfarsed Him When. Wounded and Saved Him. From. Becoming Prisoner. "Julius Jackson, by thunder," was the exclamation of a grizzly old veteran of the Civil war, as he found a certain name on the roster of members of Lincoln-Garfield Post of the Grand Army. The name ten. that of J. D. Jackson, also a gray- haired old man. though ten years his J Junior. They had lougnt siae oy siae through three years of the war, and, when j Mr. Jackson was lying wounded and the . Union army about to retreat, his faithful comrade carxieu uiui im a ""t" saved him from becoming a prisoner in the hands of the rebels. Since then they have not met until yesterday. The meeting came about through the mediation of Jerome Howe, a brother vet eran who met Ezekiel Emerson, the stranger from Rochester, Vt, at Grand ! Army headquarters In the Board of Trade j rooms. "When Mr. Emerson registered, j giving his regiment and company, air. Howe said: e "There's a man living here who was In that company. His name Is J. D. Jack- 6on." . , Mr. Emerson did not Immediately rec ognize the name, for the lapse of nearly 40 years had dimmed his memory, hut while Mr. Howe was hunting up the name on the roster of the post, the old man was brushing the cobwebs from his recollec tions of his old comrades, and, when he saw tho name on the roll, he exclaimed: "Julius Jackson, by thunder." Mr. Howe promptly took him to Mr. Jackson's cigar store on Hawthorne ave nue and brought the two together. So great are the changes time has wrought that neither recognized the other at first. Both have become gray and wrinkled and the sound of their voices has become dif ferent since they joined in song and story by the camp-fire. But when Mr. Emerson said he came from Vermont and served in Company A of the Fifth "Wis consin volunteer infantry, old memories flashed back to Mr. Jackson's mind and he said: "It's Zeke Emerson." Then there was such a scene of mutual Joy as can only be witnessed when old comrades meet yafter an interval of half a lifetime. Tbey went back to the time in 1861 when they both enlisted at Mani towoc. Wis., and went over the cam paigns of three years together, each fill ing 4n gaps whore the other's memory failed. They told of their first battle at Williamsburg in the Peninsular campaign; dl the terrible seven days' fighting which accompanied McClellan's retreat from be fore Richmond in 1E62. The regiment. which was in the Sixth Army Corps un der the command of Major General Franklin, then marched from Alexandria to Centerviye to reinforce Pope at Cedar Mountain, but did not arrive In time to take part in the second battle of Bull Run. It marched all night to get back to Alexandria and soon after was engaged In tho great battle or Antletam. It marched to the Rappahannock river in pursuit of Lee's retreating army and fought in the battle of Fredericksburg under Burnslde. where the Sixth Corps composed the left wing of the Union army. In the campaign of 1S63 the Fifth "Wis consin crossed the Rappahannock at Chancellorsvllle to join Hooker, and, with the Sixth Maine, stormed the rebel en trenchments at Maryo's House. The Sixth Corps advanced to Salem Church, com posing Hooker's left wing, but, finding that Hooker had been outflanked by Stonewall Jackson, made a hasty retreat nt night across the river again to escape Lee, who was concentrating his army to cut it off. In this retreat Mr. Emerson was taken prisoner and sent to Camp Pa role near Annapolis. He was not ex changed till the Fall, so that ho missed the great battle of Gettysburg, where Mr. Jackson fought with the regiment and whence he took part in the pursuit into Virginia again. The Fifth "Wisconsin was detached from the army at "Warrenton, Va., with several other regiments, in the late Summer of 1S63, and sent to New York to enforce the draft. "Within 24 hours after Its return to the field, the regiment was in a fight at Rappahannock station. The two friends were together again after the Fall campaign, and. after spend ing the "Winter in camp at Brandy station, started into the Wilderness on May 4. 1S04. on the first campaign, under the command of Grant, Mr. Emerson having been attached to the Hospital Corps in the meantime. Tho following day Mr. Jackson was wounded In the right leg, and it fell to Mr. Emerson to nurse him. On May 6 the right wing, where the Sixth Corps now was, was driven back with the loss of many prisonors, and it was neces sary to carry away all the wounded who could safely be moved, leaving the others to be captured by the rebels. Mr. Emer son took care that Mr. Jackson was put on a wagon and taken along with the army, but that illness ended the long com radeship which had existed between them. Their time expired In July, 1864, before Mr. Jackson had entirely recovered. He re-enlisted for the rest of the war as soon as he was rit for service, but Mr. Emerson went home to Vermont to see his family. Thus they drifted apart. Mr. Jackson terved throughout the war, and was with the oattallon which captured Jefferson Davis. After the war ho went back to Wisconsin, where he had gone from Ver mont as a pioneer in lS45it the same time is Mr. Emerson, and lived for a few years In Iowa and Nebraska. He finally came to the Pacific Coast in 1SSS. and after a few years in Vancouver and Chehalls settled down in Portland in 1S95. Ho married and has brought up five children. Mr. Emer son, however, settled on a farm In Ver mont, whore he has lived as a bachelor over since. Had not the old farmer been chosen by his comrades in Vermont to represent them at the National encamp ment of the Grand Army, and had not that encampment met in San Francisco, It Is probate that they would never have met again. It might seem that two men who had drifted so far apart in thought, associa tions and interests during a period of nearly 48 years would feel like strangers to one another on meeting again. But any man who saw those two old men happy in one another's company would realize that the fact of having fought side by side and faced death together frms a bond of union which neither time nor circumstances can break. HIS FIRE WENT OUT. Klrcbufr Appllei Too Little Benilne to Burn Dwelling-. After saturating the first floor with benzine, a firebug set flro to an un finished dwelling owned by Fred Kruegcr. nt 451 East Ninth street north, Monday n&ht. As not enough benzine had been applied, the fire went out In a short time, after destroying only a portion of the structure which the fire fiend had marked for his own. Ne of those living in the neighbor hood saw the flames, so It Is evident that tho firebug worked during early morn- BIG MINES IN BOHEMIA. Railroad and Electricity Applied to Bringing Oat Ore. One of the most extensive mining enter prises in Oregon is being carried on in the Bohemia district in the Cascades, near Cottage Grove, by the Oregon Se-, curl ties Company and the Oregon South eastern Railroad Company, which are al lied corporations. Steam, electricity and compressed air are all being applied to the economical mining and transportation of ore. J. H. Pearson, general manager of the railroad, who Is at the Portland, said yesterday of the two companies' op erations: "We are going right on with tho clear ing of the right of way and building the extension of the railroad beyond the red bridge to the warehouse at the power plant on Frank Brlce Creek. The exten sion is 11 miles long, and will make the total length of the road 27 miles. Some of the rails and ties are on the ground, and we expect to finish the track before the rains begin. "We have a crew of 150 men at work in the mines and installing the electric plant on Frank Brice Creek, which will oper ate the concentrators and drills, and the tram lines which connect the three prin cipal mines. We have combined the three ten-stamp mills from the Helena, Cham pion and Musick mines into one plant be low the Champion, and have built a sur face electric road along the side of Grouse Mountain, from the Helena to tho Cham pion, and from the Champion it -will be extended through the tunnel and along the other side of the mountain and across a ravine to the Musick. This tramway Is all shedded, so that It will not be blocked with snow. It enables us tq concentrate all our men at one boarding-house, and we can carry them from one mine to an other in seven minutes. We are driving a tunnel through Grouse Mountain from the Champion, which will penetrate the Broadway, the mine which we have Just bought from Griffith & Reed, and it will be in pay ore practically all the way. "The power line will be at work on the drills by September 15. We have sent up a large force of carpenters, and are now building the mill and powerhouse. We have also built as fine a road as there is in the state for the last eight miles up the mountain. It Is on an even grade all the way, so that the heaviest teams can use it, and we can build a trolley line along It to bring ore down to the bins at the railroad terminus without Interfering with teams." HER CONDITION CRITICAL Mrs. C. B. Ilroivii Mar Xot Survive Injuries of "Wreck, " Under careful medical attention and good nursing, the victims of the Elks' excursion wreck are progressing toward recovery as rapidly as could be expected. The three who were brought to Portland Saturday evening and taken to the St. Vincent's Hospital are In the most critical condition of any of those injured. The tremendous shock and the loss of tlood are a great obstacle to the recovery of Mrs. C. B. Brown. The doctors In at tendance cannot yet decide whether or not she will survive tho ordeaL She Is at St. Vincent's Hospital, and all the nurses can do is to dress her wounds and make her as comfortable as possible. Charles F. Frank and Charles Francen, both of whom were also taken to St. Vin cent's Hospital, are on a fair road to re covery. Their condition Is serious, but neither Is despaired -of by tho physicians. luirteen victims are still at the Good Samaritan Hospital. It Is believed that every one will recover, though many will bear for life the marks of the accident. F. W. Fletcher, who was not, apparently, seriously injured In the wreck, was forced to take to his bed yesterday. Pains in the back have bothered him from-the moment of the accident, and these did not cease as he had expected. The Elks are doing all In their power to alleviate tho suffering of those Injured in the wreck of the excursion train. Commit tees of the members havo been appointed to wait upon the Injured ones each day, and report to the lodge the progress they arc making. A MARK OF PROGRESS. Portland Fnt Assuming Metropol itan Airs. The B. B. Rich Curio Store, located on upper floor. Sixth and Washington streets, a museum of relics. The Northwest, with its Indisputable re sources, has one that hitherto has been overlooked. B. B. Rich, with his usual energy and foresight, knew the time was right for Portland to show to its innu merable visitors and home people what Interesting relics the Indians had prior to the advancement of civilization. That success should mark this enter prise goes without saying, and an hour spent viewing the relics of past ages will be well spent. It would be impossible to describe the various articles on sale in this museum of relics. In connection Mr. Rich has added the handiwork of the crafty redskin, such as Navajo blankets and Jewelry; linen drawn from Mexico. and, in fact. Interesting novelties and sou venirs of all kinds. The invitation ex tended you to visit the B. B. Rich Curio Store will be well repaid. Entrance on Sixth street, near Washington. Preparing; for Fall Salmon Ran. Fishermen arc hard at work along a great part of the lower Columbia making ready for the Fall season of salmon flsh ing for steelheads and silversldcs, which opens September 10. At willow bar, a shallow place a few miles above St. Hel ens. 20 men, with a diver, a steam launch, and large scow, were at work Monday clearing out snags, so as to prevent their gill nets from being caught and ruined by them. The diver prowled about the bot tom, making fast a rope to the snags he found, and, while two men were kept busy pumping air down to him, the others hoisted the water-5oaked snags onto the scow and put them ashore out of the way. The bar has been cleared for some distance in this way, and the fishermen who are bearing the expense hope to be rewarded when the Ashing season begins. Many flsh traps are being built along the Oregon shore of the river, from Coffin Rock up. there being long stretches of shoal water oa that side of the river. The traps In Baker's Bay. and the differ ent seining grounds between there and Pillar Rock, which made such enormous catches out of the large schools of chlnook salmon, will all probably be In readiness to take on the steelheads and sllversides after September 10. The river is said to be alive with salmon of some kind now, as they are seen Jumping in every direction. The head of the big school of chlnooks reached Celilo some time ago. and probably many of these fish are now well on their way to their spawning beds far up the tributaries of the Columbia. So just what kind of sal mon are seen jumping In such numbers is not known, but iwll be quickly found out when September 10 comes. SERIOUS 1XDIGESTIOX Cured by lloraford Acid Phosphate.

A permanent euro and & most excellent Tonic, SMITH HAS RIVALS ARRESTED Xj. 3t Sullivan, Pete Grant, Jack Grant and Joe Simpson Are Charged With Assault With Congerens Weapon. Because they threatened to kill one an other and had a lively exchange of pet names. "Mysterious Billy" Smith and Pete Grant must tell how it happened to Jus tice Relu this afternoon. No one was killed, but both say the other came near it. Pete and Jack Grant and Joe Simpson were convejing a party of sailors to a ship lying near the steel bridge yester day morning. Their rival In business, "Mysterious Billy" Smith, and his part ners, the White brothers, watched them from afar. The AlWna crowd had met Larry Sullivan in the office of British Consul Laldlaw a short time before and a number of warm words had been ex changed. So when Smith and the Whites saw the partners of Sullivan making from the water-front they tagged along In the rear. Pete Grant was almost directly under the steel bridge when a voice hailed him from above. "My dear Mr. Grant, please look up here and I'll spit In your eye." and there were th pleasant features of th'e Impalpable William smiling from the railing. "Charmed, my dear Alphonse, but not just now." But Smith, fetlll desiring a chance to ex pectorate in the eye of Mr. Grant, finally received a cordial invitation to come down and do it. Tumbling down -the steepstalrcase "Mys terious Billy" Smith was soon within a few feet of Jack Grant. Jack Grant and Simpson had not been Included In the ex change of compliments, nor had theWhlte brothers actively added themselves to the party. Now "Mysterious Billy" Smith once had a reputation as a fighter. Since ho smashed his hand on the adamantine sur face of Joe Walcott's head he has lost most of it. But he still has a name as a street fighter and a bad man to mix with. .sir. Grant says he Is a peaceable citizen and lays no claim to a record of rlntrslda victories. So the picture of Smith with oiood m nls eye was not attractive to Mr. Grant. When the mysterious one was within a few feet Grant pulled a gun from some- wnere. ullllam of the angel face came to a sudden stop. His fists were his specialty. Others if armed with guns would have an equal chance against him. So he didn't care for any just then. bweetly and gently he asked what in Halifax the gun was for. He was told that it was there for business and that if he didn't want to get shot he would better arm himself with one, too. Harry White carried & gun, which by this time was ready for instant business. Grant suggested that Smith take this, that neitner would nave an unfair advantage. The sight of that pistol in the hand of Grant made the "Mysterious Billy" think that it was Walcott all over again. "Oh. sugar. If you're going In for gun play, why " "Rats, my dear Alphonse. you're a quitter." And then they exchanged a num ber of similar pet names, sweet little epithets such as one hears at a church social. Finally the two parties left the scene of threatened carnage. The Grants wont on board the ship, and Smith, smarting under uie terrible indignity of being called a quitter, made for the office of District Attorney Manning. Two papers were therefore filed in Jus. tlce Reld's Court yesterdkiy. One was an Information of felony charging L. M. Sul livan. Pete Grant. Jack Grant and Joe Simpson with assault with a dangerous weapon. As felony Is a grand Jury of- iense'.ustice Held will hold a preliminary hearing this afternoon. This paper sets forth that the "afore said defendants, armed with a dangerous weapon, towlt, a revolver loaded with gunpowder and leaden balls, tttd then and there unlawfully and feloniously assault one William smith with said weapon, by pointing said gun at him." The other paper sets forth the misde meanor of pointing a gun at the said William Smith. L. M. Sullivan, who leatte tne bunch of defendants on the felonv document, does not appear as one of those who committed a misdemeanor. According to the statements of witnesses he was several blocks away at the time. PRISONERS TRY ESCAPE. One I Recaptu' l. But Daley, the Morpnlne Fiend, Is Missing. Two prisoners working on the county rockpile on the Taylor s Ferry road ran away Monday afternoon. One of them. Welch, who is serving a sentence for pet ty larceny, was caught by the guards. Rankin and Dcady, after he had gone about 40 feet, and was placed in handcuffs for the rest of the day. Welch slipped and fell twice, and the officers did not shoot at him, thinking it was not neces sary. While Rankin and Deady were en gaged in chasing Welch. William Daley, another of the gang, took advantage of the opportunity to make good his escape. Daley is a physical wreck from the use of morphine, and the guards, when theydls- covcred that he was missing, opined that he could not have traveled very far from the rockpile, but alllgent search in the Im mediate vicinity failed to reveal his whereabouts. He probably took at once to the brush, where, he could soon obscuro himself from view. Daley was sentenced recently to 90 days' imprisonment for having morphine in his possession. The immediate cause of his arrest was that he was In the vicinity of Jensen's brickyard on the Sandy .road, brandishing a big knife and terrorizing people. He will return to Portland to get a supply of morphine, and will be easily picked up by the police, by whom he Is well known. WORKERS WIN PRIZES. "Woolen Mill Employes Enconmprecl to Grow Flovrera.

Nearly 150 union plumbers went on strike yesterday morning. They failed to report for work in the morning and as a consequence 45 plumbing firms are tied up for want of help. The strike was de clared because of the refusal of the mem bers of the Master Plumbers Association to grant a new scale desired by the men. The union has drawn up a new scale of 55 a day for eight hours. The wage now being paid Is 4.50 a day. and' the employ ers refuse to raise the pay. The union gives as its reason that $3 a day Is the uniform scale In all the cities of the Pacific Coast, so they wish to bring up the wages in Portland to conform with those received elsewhere. The employers base their refusal upon the fact that living in Portland is cheaper than in many other cities. They believe, therefore, that the plumbers should work for less. The union made known its new scale several weeks ago, and the master plumbers, after a due consideration of the subject, decided to. stand together and resist the demands of the union.
