Thr 1Vt Round Passenger Train Bmlly
Demoralised..
Monday's .west bound passenger from
here, met with an accident . near Cates'
mill that just escaped being a very dis
astrous one. It was almost a miracle
that a large number of people were not
killed instead of being shook up as
proved to be the case. The train was
in charge of Conductor E. B. Cowman,
with Mr. Curtis as engineer. The loco
motive was one of the heavy eight-wheel
sixty-ton machines and it was its heavy
weight on the short curves that caused
the accident. As the train was n earing
Cates' mill the forward wheels of the
engine left the track on a. curve, causing
a spreading of the rails. The baggage
car followed and toppled over on top of
a short bridge and the tourist car fol
lowed and likewise went over on its side.
Next came the first-class chair car and
plunged into it badly demoralizing the
tourist car. The front car contained a
large number of Italian emigrants and
among them mostly was the damage
done. Some seven were badly but not
dangerously hurt, while quite a number
were more , or less wounded and
cut by falling glass and being bumped
against chair backs, but as far as beard
from no one was killed.
Quite a number of railroad men were
aboard and were badly shook up but not
seriously injured. In the tourist car a
lady and little girl were in the front end
and when the crash came were covered
with Urine srlass and other articles. For
a few moments It looked as if they both
must be killed, but when they were re
moved from, the debris it was found
their injuries were not severe and they
both walked back to the sleeper where
they were cared for by the kind people
on board. ; mere were many narrow
escapes and ' it is extremely fortunate
that fire did not break out and burn up
more or leas -of the train '
The accident occurred about 2 p. m.
yesterday. Dr. Doane of this city im
mediately went to the sufferers. A re
lief train from Portland. Dr. Beaevn in
charge, and assisted by Dr. Logan of this
place who was in Portland at the time,
came up at once arriving at the scene of
the wreck about 5 o'clock; The injured
were taken to the hospitals of Portland
where they wil have the best of care.
The wreck was got out of the way and
the track cleared' about 12 o'clock last
night and trains are moving all right to
day. Cates' mill where the accident occurred
is about 45 miles west of The Dalles, and
is between ;Wyeths Station and the
Cascades. f ; : ' , , ; :
Conductor Cowman had Vine of his
hands badl y cut by the falling glass, but
considered himself fortunate in escaping
so well.;.- ,
The-accident seems to have been caw
ed by the excessive length and weight

Quite a number of Eastern Oregon
members ol the Uegislature. and third
house have been feeling very much un-
. der the weather since their return from
Salem, claiming that the water of the
Willamette valley 4id not ;, agree witb

- good plan to bottle some strong alkali
- water and take down for the use of the
. fcuoch grase statesmen. -'
That aiysterloua Grave.
Mr. Frank Williams of Eight Mile
creek informs iis "the mysterious grave
mentioned a few days ago, was examined
by some of the people in the neighbor
hood and found that . whatever it was
dug for was five feet long, and four
feet deep by two feet in width, and, had
all the appearance of ' being filled up
.within a few days. .-,
A young roan by the name of Baker
claims to have dug the grave, - but at
whose instigation he will not say. . It is
thought however that he did not do it,
as he has a reputation of loving his ease
too well to do the amount of hard work
necessary, for the job. The grave was
3x5 feet on top and run down to a depth
of two feet, then a jog was made and two
feet more dug down. Messrs.. A. P.
Ferguson and John Danrielle dug the
earth out of the hole but found nothing
in it. They say that it was as well, dug
a grave as they ever saw. Une thing
seems certain, the grave was not dug for
f nn as there was too much work about it
for that. "Evidently eomethinghad been
buried there, but whoever had done so
had the body, or whatever it was, sec
retly removed before it was discovered.
Mr. R. V. Drake is our authority for the

The review of the local market is with
out much interest, trffiic of all kinds j
has been light. " j
Kkal Estate The only change notic- f
able in the realestate' market since last i
report is a greater degree of confidence ;
manifested by everyone. The number j
of transfers reported during the week is j
not large, but an increasing demand is !
noted and holders show no desire to sell
at present prices. The passage of the Cas
cade portage railroad bill has doubtless
had some effect and that with the flatter
ing prospects of increased activity in all
lines of business which is expected to
begin with the coming wool season has
called forth the opinion of many that
Dalles property has touched low water
mark.
There hart been some grain and wool
transactions during the week and show
an advance in price as stated, Messrs.
McFarland & French sold 26,000 pounds
of Eastern Oregon wool at an advance on
quotation of 2 cents, realizing 18 cents
per pound. In the grain market there
is no new feature of interest to note, save
light advance in wheat which is simply
on a demand to fill charters in Portland
for export.
There is an increased inquiry for
vegetables such as cabbage which is very
scarce,also turnips, carrots and parsnips
the market is quite bare . of these.
Good green apples are very scarce
and command a - ready sale at from
$1.25$1.50 a box. The onion market is
in full supply and indicates a slight
decline. . .
The live stock market is not as active
as it was for the week previous for ship
ment. The demand is easily supplied
with prime beeves and mntton for the
home market. . Our dealers quote an
advance of J cents per pound for fat
cattle, and of a cent for prime hogs.
Veal is in good demand at 5 cents for
heavy to 7 cents for light; with a good
inquiry as the supply is insufficient. -
Chicago and New York grain quota
tions are as fluctuating as formerly,
with no encouraging features to report.
Chicago's May delivery quotation is
96? ; New York, 1.05?.
Portland's market reports an advance
with a firmer tone. Its quotations arr
Valley is qnoted f 1.251.27 ; East
ern Oregon, $1.151.17.
Dalles market has been more active
with a slight advance since ' last week.
quote, .58 for No. 1 ; .55 for No. 2.
Oats The oat market is very quiet
and offerings limited at quotations with
an upward tendency. We quote, extra
clean $1.50 per cental and inferior $1.35
(2.1 .40 per cental.
Barley There is nothing doing in
barley. There is none offering.- Quote
prime brewing $1.051.10, feed $1.00
1.05 per cental, sacked.
Floor Best brands $3.75$400 per
barrel.
Millstuffs The supply is quite suffi
cient for the demand. We quote bran
and shorts $20.00 per ton. Shorts and
middlings $22.50$24.00 per ton. .......
Hay We cannot offer any encourage
ment in the hay market or change our
quotations. The situation remains the
same sb to demand, with a full supply
on hand. Quote, timothy, $17.00 per
ton, wheat hay in compressed bales
$12.00. Oat hay dull sale at $U.00
12.00. . Alfalfa market is without change
in former quotation.
- Potatoes Are in good supply and
have a downward tendency. Quote,
$.80, and .90 cents per 1001b. . ' .. .
BirmB The market is quite bare of
butter of the different grades and shows
a stiffness in quotations. Quote A 1 .70,
good .65, brine .400.45, common .30
.35 per roll. - -Egos
The market is firmer, the
stormy weather has been unfavorable for
increased supply and the former quota
tion is firmer.. 'Quote .15 .16 per
dozen. "...
Poultry The poultry market .is
stiffer since our .. last . quotation,
and a still farther advance is looked
for as there is a scarcity in supply,
which continues. We ' quote, good,
average fowls $4.00 per dozen, common
$3.003.50 per dozen. Turkeys .10 per
Tt. Geese .90(2 $1.25 each. Ducks .35

LOSS OF VESSELS.
Great
Disasters to Shipping;
Around Golden Gate.
In and
San Francisco, Feb. 24. Up to this
morning only two bodies have been re
covered from the " wreck of the ship
Elizabeth. One of these is the China
cook and the other is believed . to be
either that of one of the crew or of Capt
Henry of the local life saving service.
The ship Jessomine which was in dis
tress off point Keyea yesterday was
broueht into port late last night. She
had a narrow escape from going ashore
and was dismantled to keep her off the
rocks. .
The British ship Hesperides was taken
from her moorings and collided with the
shin Alex. McNail last night. The. Hes
perides lost her foretop mast and both
vessels were badly damaged.
An unknown bark sent up signal
liehts and was rescued bv tugs as she
drifted across the bay.
THE RESCUED MINERS.
Bronght Out After Nineteen Days of
Incarceration.
Hazelton Pa., Feb. 24. Four huu
trarian miners were rescued from the
caved in mine were brought to the snr
face this morning and given a . small
amount of lime juice and milk and al
lowed to rest. They will probable re
cover from the effects of their confine
ment.
It is impossible to get any statement
from any of the men as their weakened
condition prevents it.
All of the men are so weak that a sim
ple movement of the head is impossible.
How they lived for more than nineteen
days is a question. The dinner in their
pails would have been sufficient to sus
tain life for eight days perhaps, if dealt
out sparingly. ' .

A New Consumption Cure Discovered
by a Berlin Physician.
Paris. Feb. 23. Koch's prestige is be
low par here. His lymph is considered
rank poison, and thev won't try it on
human beings. Early this week two
monkeys in the Jardin d'Acclimation
were inoculated, and both have died.
Meanwhile Professor Liebricb, director
of the Royal pharmacological institute
in Berlin-, discovers an entirely different
remedy for consumption. Conversing
with a correspondent, he said :
"It is not an improvement on Koch's
lymph. It is an entirely different rem
edy. The only similarity between them
is that my remedy is also injected sub
cutaneously." Is it the product of bacilli or a chem
ical preparation?"
"That I cannot answer now. I will
give full information in a few days. I
shall publish a full description of my
process so that every physician can pre
pare his own matter. I shall not keep
the secret nor let any one man have a
monopoly of the manufacture."
"In what does your remedy differ from
tuberculine ; does it bring about any dif
ferent reaction?"
'It brings on no reaction, nor does it
cause fever. It is harmless, but will
cure tuberculosis of the larynx. Of that
experiments have convinced me. I have
injected patients afflicted with tuber
culosis of the larynx and have positively
cured them. Some of them suffered to
such an extent that they had become
aphonic. Under treatment they recov
ered their voice and are now completely
cured. Professor Frankel. at the Royal
clinic for diseases of the larynx, and Dr.
neyman, at a private clinic, met similar
success."
'How about advanced cases of phthi
sis?"
"I think I will be able to cure these
affections also, but time has been too
short for any defininte observation."

A Letter In Appreciation of the Honors?
Paid to tne Dead.
Xkw York. Feb. 23. The SDecial
funeral train which carried the body oft
vienerai nerman to St. Louis returned!
to this city this morning, bearing the
ianuiy 01 tne ueaa general ana tne nun
tary officers who accompanied the body,
une 01 tne nrat acts ot tne family on
their return was to address the following
letter to inepuDiic in appreciation ot the
honors paid to their beloved dead and
the nation's hero. The letter was signed
by Father Thomas E. Sherman. It
reads as follows :
It is fitting that some public acknowl
edgement should be made by the family
of General Sherman of the" very many
heartfelt tokens of sympathy which they
nave rerciveu in tneir uereavement. vv e
can only say that such universal and
evidently profound sorrow, manifested
as it has been in a thousand ways, sus
tains ana comtorts us in our desolation
for the entire nation, by its generous ex
pression of condolence, has lightened the
burden of our grief and helped us to bear
our irreparable loss. The friends of our
family are asked to accept this slight
token of our grateful appreciation in lieu
of any more direct personal communica
tion, which, while it would be more
gratifying to us, we have not now strength
or courage to oner each and all.

London, Feb. 22. In his speech today
at Roscommon Parnell avoided all allu
sion tn thft att&pka ' nnnn him anrl hA
seldomhowed signs of exoitement. He
addressed to his auditors calm and reas
oning argument on the subject of Irish
home rule, and urged that it would be
absolute folly-, to accept anything less
than the terms which he had'demanded.
He argued that Ireland was entitled to a
parliament, armed with the fullest
power to deal with Irish affairs, and sub
ject only to the sovereign veto ; that the
land and police should be fully . com
mitted to Irish care, not after an interval
of five years, but immediately upon
organization of the home rule parliament.
He advised his hearers to think for
themselves, as Irishmen, and not as de
pendent on the opinions and guidance of
j any English faction or party. Mr. Par-
