'i X'2t THE MOKNmQ OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1904. OIL SCHOONER BURNS f m m a NEW BANNER FOR 'LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION FANNY ADELE IS A TOTAL LOSS AT SAN FRANCISCO. Vessel Was Loaded and Preparing to Sail When Flames Broke Out In Her Cargo. "-r-Jj SAN FRANCISCO, May 23. The three masted schooner .Fanny Adele. laden with coal oil, gasoline and general merchan dise for Nome, Alaska, tvas set on Are today by an explosion which occurred In the bold and is a total loss. The four men on board at the time narrowly es caped with their lives, one of them being badly burned. The Sixteenth;street wharf, at which the vessel was lying, was partly burned- The total loss will approximate $100,000. A few moments before the disaster Cap tain Felsher left the schooner, with four men on board, Seamen Joseph and Claus Eon being on deck and Joseph Manne and J. Kruntkrizer In the cabin. Suddenly there was an explosion, from some un known cause. In the hold. All of the men were blown Into the water, those In the cabin being lifted into the air through the open companionway. Firemen tried in vain to reach the ves sel, being driven back by the flames, which shot up Into the air for nearly a hundred feet, llanno and Kruntkrlzer were picked up by a. boat as the former was about to sink. He was terribly burned and was taken to the Potrero Hos pital In a precarious condition. Joseph struck out and reached the wharf, but Claussen, who could not swim, clung to the anchor chain. He lost his hold and was drowning when a man named McKay Jumped from the dock and placed a line about bis body. The schooner's lines soon parted and she drifted out into the bay. The fire tug Governor Markham followed, but was unable to approach near, owing to fre quent explosions on the burning vessel. However, at every opportunity a stream of water was thrown ovjer the craft, which made its way toward the Golden Gate without coming into collision with any vessel. The schooner was burned to the water's edge and is a total loss. It was owned principally by C. J. Hendrickson & Co., of this city, Sutton & Christensen, by whom it was managed, having a small Interest. The cargo was chiefly the prop erty of tho Standard Oil Company. The tug Governor Markham finally suc ceeded In subduing the flames and towed the hulk to Angel Island. RIVER STILL GOES UP. Ris se to zz Feet is certain dv tna of the Week. For the first time since 1894, there will be flood water in the streets of Portland, and, from the way the river is rising, it will bo there pretty quick. The river at pres ent stands over 18 feet above low water, and tho Winter's hoard of snow melting in Jhe mountains of Northern Washington, Idaho and British Columbia is sending down a freshet. The Snake fortunately is falling slightly In its upper reaches. Indicating that, though at Lewlston yesterday the watei had risen a foot in 21 hours, the flood on the Snake would be past the crest before the Columbia got in its work. The heav iest rises shown by yesterday's report were on the Columbia below the conjunction with the Snake and on the Lower Snake, and this will have Immediate effect upon the stage of the water at Portland. Twenty-four hours showed a foot and a half rise yesterday at The Ialles, and the rise was proportionate all the way to Pasco. The effect of this will be to lift the water here to 18.7 feet today and almost two feet more In the following 24 hours, and a foot a day thereafter till Saturday, when it Is forecasted to register 22 feet. Further rise is likely to come promptly, though the amount of water now in the streams does not justify District Fore caster Beals to make certain prophesies beyond the end of the week. But the amount of water now in sight justifies his present forecast. There, is not a station on either the Co lumbia or Its tributaries or the Snake that does not show a rise. The Upper Colum bia is the more interesting, as that is where tho greatest amount of snow Is. All the way from Northport to Wenatchce the rise is seven-tenths of a foot. The ex treme upper reaches show an even greater rise, Bonner's Ferry, on the Kootenai, in dicating nine-tenths. This looks like the final freshet from that quarter, and may be expected to last until the snow is gone and the rivers fall permanently for the Summer. With a prospect like the pres ent Mr. Beals sees no reason to change his original forecast that the Willamette would rise to the height of 26 feet at Port land before the rise-Is over. But he has seen no reason to bellee that it will be much higher. A height of 20 feet will mean that the locks at the Cascades, will be closed, and Captain Spencer will have an opportunity to see if he can run his boat up the rap ids. It Is said that his crew Is betting that the run cannot be made and are will ing to put up all tho money they have against any ono who thinks the venture feasible. COLLIDED WITH BRIDGE. Steamer Columbia Has Two Holes Punched In Her Forward Plates. Tho O. R. & N. Co.'s crack 'Frisco liner Columbia collided with the O. R. & X. Co.'s stool bridge Sunday morning and camo off second best in the contest, with drawing with a couple of holes punched in ono of her forward plates well above the wator line. The steamer was warping through the draw from Alaska dock to Ainsworth dock, and tho brldgetcnder was a llttlo too speedy with the draw, which struck the vessel just as she was abreast of tho pier. Captain Hoben was called on and made a survey of the damage, and after ordering the construction of a tem porary bulkhead filled with cement, per mitted the vessel to depart on her regular trip to San Francisco, where she will bj repaired. Tho accident was especially un pleasant for the company at this time, on account of the vessel just coming out of the drydock after a thorough overhauling. As a new plate will eventually have to be substituted for tho one that was damaged, the accident will prove quite costly. This Is the second accident of this nature that has happened since the steel bridge was built, and the victims in both cases have been O. R. & X. boats. The first lc Um, was the steamer Bailey Gatsert, then owned by the White Collar Line but op erating In connection with the O. R. & X. steamers. On that occasion the bridge raked most of tho staterooms off one side of the Gatzert and seriously injured sev ckU passengers who wero nlseep at the time tho accident happened. CORWIN NOT WRECKED. Nome Steamer Sighted Last Satur day in Alaskan Waters. SEATTLE, May 23. The ateamer Cot tage City, which arrived tonight from Lynn Canal, reports passing the Nome 6toamcr Corwin May 21 between Ketchikan and Wrangel Narrows. The information fully disproves the sensational reports to the effect that the Corwin was lost on the Vancouver Island Coast. The vossol having removed some of her deck cargo at Ketchikan and placed it In the hold, proceeded on her way. When sighted by the Cottage City she-was ap parently heading into the narrows. So far as the Cottage City's officers could observe, the Corwin was in no trouble whatever. Virginia the Scorcher.

Mrs. Henry E. Reed Designs New Banner for Lewis and Clark Fair. A most attractive flag to wave over the Lewis and Clark Exposition has just been completed. In appearance It surpasses the St. Louis emblem and is regarded as an Ideal banner for the purpose It Is intended for. The flag is done In four colors, and every figure and color and line has some peculiar significance. Tho part of the flag corresponding to the starry field of the American flag is a blue field, bearing in white a flowering Oregon grape surrounded by five stars, which rep resent Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon tana and Wyoming, the Ave states that comprised In whole or In part the histori cal Oregon Country. The grape Is the state flower of Oregon. The rest of the flag Is a yellow field crossed by four broad red bars, in the form of a St, George's cross, "also of the crossvused in the old Hawaiian merchant marine, with tho official symbol of the Exposition in a circle in the center. The four red bars and the yellow field repre sent the United States, Great Britain, Rus sia, France and Spain, which explored the Northwest Coast by land or sea. The yellow Is also symbolic of the Oriental aspect of the Exposition. The colors used in the flag are red, white, blue and yellow, a blending of the Nation al colors of the United States, Great Brit ain, France, Russia and Spain, which, as said before, sent exploring expeditions to the Northwest Coast. Red, white and blue are the predominant colors, as Indeed they should be, to signify American sovereignty over the Oregon Country. A large flag, which will perhaps be Sxl6 feet, will be made at once and sent to St. Louis to be raised over the Oregon build ing on the World's Fair grounds. The design of the flag is by Mrs. H. E. Reed, who has been working on it at times for a year. She presents It to the Exposi tion. The coloring Is by R. Caughey. Catholic Fair Closes Tonight.

Clowns and Elephants, Acrobats and TIghtwire Performers All Bring Delight to Boyvllle. "Whoop la," shouted the funny old clowns, "ta-ta-um-ta-ta," played the band, the elephants ate peanuts and threw dust on their backs in the same old way, the beautiful lady in fleshings gyrated on the high trapeze, the spieler spieled, the "big top" billowed, the monkeys chattered, small boys sneaked under tho canvas, Hiram and Hattle drank deep flagons of roseate lemonade, canvasmen snoozed peacefully under the pole wagons and the ringmaster shouted "hi, hi." It was cir cus day in Portland once again. Multnomah Field is given over to Nor rls & Howe's, which even the press agent doesnt claim to be "the greatest on earth." The crowds went there and filled I the high seats twice yesterday. They will do so again today, for the circus ever has been and ever will be irrislstlble. The present generation of kids has been wildly excited since the big wagons rum bled up town from the railroad yards. It was dellclously thrilled when the ferocious wild beasts and the glittering band-wagons rolled through the streets on parade yesterday and was delirious with Joy when the camels, the elephants, the ponies the bespangled princes and princesses and the clowns In their motley marched into the big tent two by two and the performance was on. The young sters were as happy as their forebears were years ago when old Van Ambug's, or John Robinson's, or Cole's, or John B. Doris', or the Immortal Barnum's came to town, but no more so. They couldn't be, for the coming of the circus is the superlative delight of those who live in Boyvllle. Of course the staid family man and the matrons were out yesterday "to take the children" and those who were neither went unblushlngly and without apology because the primordial instinct is still strong. Tho pristine passion for "show day" still animates the American human breast and so everybody who could went jesterday or will go today. It must be regretfully confessed that the circus of this year of grace is not just as it was In 1SS4 or 1S64 and the vet erans will miss some of the ancient, time honored features. For instance the clown who sang did not stand on a blue tub as clowns used to do when "Over the Garden Wall" and "Shoo, Fly, Don't Bother Me," were new and the proper thing for clown vocalization. They didn't shoot a large blonde female party out of a barrel-stave cannon, and, alas there was no "sacred white elephant." Norrls &. Rowe have a very good, com plete and well-equipped plant. It Isn't as good as the enthusiastic gentlemen who write copy for the bills say it is, but cir cuses never are. If they were they would be too good to be true. The menagerie is well selected and in teresting. There are more camels and dromedaries than are carried by any but the very biggest of tent shows. There aren't any prettier nor better trained ponies than will appear this afternoon and night. The concern was formerly a dog and pony enterprise exclusively and the management knows what a herd of good ponies should be. The performance runs largely to acrobats and contortionists. with one of the most daring and difficult aerial acts ever seen here. There are some excellent Japanese balancers, the slackwlre artists are up to the standard and the trick bicyclists are still Interest ing. There are performing seals, dogs and monkeys. There are two rings and the elevated stage, upon which "our world challenge concert or afterpiece occurs Im mediately following the big show," and a troupe of clowns extract the usual amount of merriment out of inflated beef bladders and slapsticks. It's all there. The old boy saw the cir cus, and was rejuvenated, tfce youngsters went stark, staring crazy, and the beaux and bellt-s, those who drove In from Beaverton and those who came from Nob Hill on the street-cars had felt the old, old elation, wnlch only comes to beaux and belles on circus day, and were grate ful to Norrls & Rowe for setting forth their edifying spectacle. "Like all other great tented exhibi tions, immediately following the main performance our especially engaged com pany of Imported European artists will entertain you with a grand concert or afterpiece, the bunch of marks now lined up on the elevated stage are them, and for this especial occasion the price of ad mission has oeen reduced to one dime, 10 cents, althoueh tho performance Is not yet half over our handsome young agents will pass among you with the tickets. Remember, all those who remain will be accommodated on our elegantly uphol stered reserved seats without additional charge," rose the voice of the spieler spieling, and after that the big show let out and the snake-charmer and the bearded lady got in their work. It was so yesterday. It will be so to-. day, but tomorrow the shouting" and tu mult will have died away, the circus will have folded its tents, and Multnomah. HENRT E. BEETX a 9tm Field will be a banquet hall deserted.

Man Who Bought Two Pianos for His Wife's Christmas Gift Is Com-- pelled to Keep His Contract. Judge Frazer -decided yesterday that no fraud had been practiced by'Soule Bros, in the sale of a Starr piano to J. H. Miller, a contractor, for $420, and granted a Judgment In favor of Soule Bros, and against Miller for $100. The 5100 Is repre-' sented by notes given by Miller as the first payment on the instrument. Miller signed a contract for the purchase of the piano on November 12, 1S03, and It was to bo delivered on December 25, following, as he said he desired to present It to his wife as a Christmas gift. When the wagon bearing the piano reached the Miller resi dence, the drier was surprised to be in formed that Mrs. Miller had already re ceived her Christmas present and did not require a second piano. It appears that after buying the Instru ment Miller informed Edward M. Cour tlenne Dworzak, a musician and concert player, of the fact, and Mr. Dworzak ex pressed the opinion that the Starr piano Is not a high-grade Instrument, notwith standing it took prizes at the World's Fair. He went over with Miller and sound ed the tone,' and looked the instrumenv over, and afterward escorted Miller to the Ellers Piano House, where Miller bought another piano, and that Is the reason he did not accept the Instrument he bought at Soul? Bros.' store when it came on, Christ mas. Considerable evidence was introduced concerning the respective merits and repu tation of various pianos, and a great deal was said by witnesses about high-grade, medium and low-grade pianos, actions and sounding-boards. W. M. Davis and S. C. Spencer, attor nejs for Soule Bros., did not offer any evidence In the case, deeming' It unneces sary, and asked Judge Frazer to decide on the contract in favor of Soule Bros, and against Miller, on the ground that there had been no misrepresentation shown or any testimony offered tending to prove that the Starr piano Is not a good Instrument. Judge Frazer reviewed the law govern ing cases of this kind, and said It was a matter largely of opinion, of piano men and experts as to what pianos are the best. Dealers generally say their goods are of the very best quality, and buyers take such statements for what they are worth. He therefore found there was mo reason to set the contract aside, and ordered findings prepared against Miller for J100. Too Poor to Pay Her Fees. P. H. May, who is suing his wife, Sophie, for a divorce, declines her de mand for $150 to pay her attorney and for alimony.
