Mount Vebxos, O., April 8. One of
the most serious wrecks that baa occurred
on the Cleveland, Akron and Columbus
railroad for several years happened yes
terday afternoon about twenty-three
miles east of here, at a very steep grade
called the Summit. Freight train No.
24 was going west, assisted by a pusher.
The flagman on the Summit bad orders
to hold No. 3 Express, going east, until
No. 24 passed. This he failed to do, re
sulting in a collision in which about a
dozen or more passengers were injured.
Those most seriously injured are T. B.
- Reed, engineer of No. 3, and Mrs. Jona
than Tipton, of Black creek.
Assassins Speedily Punished.
Berlin, April 8. Deacon von Poninski
an important citizen of Koscilec, Prus
sian Folland, was fajtally shot in bis bed
by four masked men last night. His
wife, lying alongside her husband, was
uninjured. The village was aroused and
ah expedition organized to hunt the as
sassins who were soon surrounded in
tb,e woods. Two were shot dead by the
villagers. The other two, seeing escape -impossible,
shot themselves, dying in
stantly. hen the bodies were exam
ined, letters of instructions were found
on them with the words, "Executive
Committee of the Polish Anarchists,"
containing instructions to murder
Deacon von Poninski, and to commit
other outrages, showing that the Polish
anarchists are thoroughly organized.
Hughitt to Sncced Dillon.
New York, April 7. The books for
the Union Pacific railway annual elec
tion April 27th, were closed yesterday,
and forthwith a report was current, that
Dillion will retire from the presidency.
and that Martin Hughitt, now president
of the Chicago and Northwestern, will
succeed him. It was also intimated
that in the reorganization of the direct
orate of the Union Pacific the Gould
representatives, including Gould, will be
dropped, while men who belonged to
the Vanderbilt army of railroad lieuten
ants will take their places. Gould, it is
Baid, wil devote his energies to the re
juvenation of his Missouri Pacific sys
tem. If, as is reported, - Hughitt and
his group of co-workers are to manage
the Union Pacific, it means that at last
the Vanderbilt dream of a transconti
nental system has been realized.
In Bad night.
Waco, Tex., April S. At Jackson's
lake, sixteen miles south of here, in a
tent made of an old quilt, a woman and
four children were found last evening,
nearly nude, and living on cornmeal
mush, fish and frogs. The mother said :
. "My name is Mrs. Murphy ; my hus
band left me here three months ago and
told me to stay until he returned." The
children were nearly as wild as the
wolves that prowled around their
bivouac. The oldest girl wore a tattered
garment and rawhide moccasins of her
own make. The family were brought to
town ana provided lor.
Not the Original.
Avsable, Mich., April 8. Wesley M
Featherly.-editor of the Lakeside Moni
tor, known as the "Arizona Kicker,"
has made so many enemies by his viol
ent pen that at a secret meeting Tuesday
evening the citizens adopted resolutions
ordering him to leave- the city in ten
days. If he does not comply, they
threaten to carry him to the city's limits
.. and there give him a coat of tar and
feathers on his naked flesh from head to
foot. He is a fighter, and will stay. :
; Murders in Uruguay.
: Montevideo,' April 8. Near Guade
loupe, Uruguay, an Italian named Trav
. ersi, bis wife and .three children, the
eldest a girl 22 years of age, were found
murdered in their home yesterday. The
dead bodies showed numerous dagger
wounds. Traverei recently realized
. $1,000 from the sale of his crops, and the
money was known to be in the house.
The murderers carried off the $1,000.
Their identity is unknown, but it is
thought they were acquaintances of the
victims.
A Lucky Plunge.
' Huntington, Va.' April 8. Last night
a freight train ran into a span of the
bridge, knocking it down, four cars going
into the river just east of. here. Passen
ger trains were delayed about twelve
hours. No loss of life.

The Modus TlTendi. '"
Washington, April 9. The Yorktowh,
Adams, Charleston, Baltimore and
Mohican it is understood will be em
ployed in patrolling Behring sea, when
the season opens. The sailing instruc
tions have been practically completed at
the state department,, and were yester
day submitted to a conference of United
States officials at the navy department.
There were present Secretary Tracy,
Commodore Ramsay, Gen. J. W. Foster
and Edward O'Brien, commissioner of
navigation, of the treasury department.
The instructions were considered with
great care. Prior to this conference at
the navy department, Secretary Blaine
had a conference at his house with Sir
Julian . Pauncefote on the same
subject. Later in the day Sir
Julian Pauncefote had another interview
with Secretary Blaine at the state de
partment. ' While no one will talk
directly of the subject, the impression
prevails that the modus vivendi is per
fected, and will be announced in a few
days in addition to the instructions to
the Behring sea vessels.
Federal Buildings.
Washington, April 11. The senate
postofnce bill, now before the house,
authorizes the construction of a federal
building in every city or town where the
gross postal receipts for three preceeding
years have exceeded $9,000 and have
not exceeded $90,000. The cost of build
ing and site is to be governed by the
gross postal receipts for three preceding
years and in no case is to exceed $75,000.
The buildings are to be constructed with
a view to future enlargement as the local
postofnce business increases. The work
of purchasing -Bitea and constructing
buildings is to progress only as fast as
congress makes the necessary appropri
ations. All plans are to be approved by
the postmaster general, the secretary of
the interior and the secretary of the
treasury. Public sentiment decidedly
approves the spirit of such a measure.
It is a fair criticism of the senate bill to
say that even the econsmists will prob
ably oppose it on the" ground of tempor
any expediency only. True economy is
subserved by housing all federal em
ployes in buildings belonging to the
government, and the senate bill is a
move in the right direction.
Bimetallism in- England.
Washington, . April 11. A leading
senator is' authority for the statement
that Secretary Foster did talk, on the
money question while in Europe for his
health, recently, and that be talked con
siderably. He says that Mr. Goschen,
the British chancellor of the exchequer,
favors "the full rehabilitation of silver."
In Mr. Foster's opinion bimetallism is
growing in England, everywhere except
in Lombard at., London. Lombard et.,
of course, is for the single gold standard.
Nevertheless, Mr. Foster met two direc-
tors of the Bank of England, who were
bimetallists. The world' will have to
get back to the old gold and silver part
nership yet but free coinage ol silver
by this country is not the wav to reach
that desirable result.
Wasting Valuable Time.
AVahhington, April 11. In view of
the fact that time is rapidly passing
away and there is literally ' nothing to
show for it from congress, a correspond
ent of the New York Sun suggests the
revival of the 'rule of the old Roman
senate, which obliged every senator who
introduced a new law to do so with a
cord around his neck. If the law failed
to pass, its sponsor was strangled. As
a method of reducing the bulk of the
Congressional Record and shortening the
sessions of con cress, and legislature's aa
well, tnis would certainly De enective.
Another Will Contest. ,
Lincoln, Neb., April 10. About
twenty years ago Elder Jason G. Miller
adopted, from a foundling hospital in
Chicago, a baby girl, and brought her to
his home in this city. He died in Cali
fornia three months ago leaving an es
tate valued at $500,000, largely real es
tate in Lincoln. In the meantime the
girl, against the wishes of her foster par
ents, married, becoming Mrs. E. O.
Lewis. Elder 'Miller-left a will be
queathing the larger part of his wealth
to charity and nothing to the daughter.
Mrs. Lewis now brings suit for half the
estate. -

Washington, April 9. The Charles

cisco, have been ordered to proceed to
Astoria, -Or., to participate in the
Columbia river Centennial celebration,
May 12th. The Concord, now at
Matanzas, has been ordered to proceed
to Memphis, Tenn., to take part in the

Fourteen Lives Lost. j
.London, April 8. A dispatch from
Hamburg states the loss of life by the
sinking of the steamer Hansa, in collis
ion with the steamer Falkenberger.
The first report said seven . of her crew
had gone down with the sinking vessel.
It now transpires that fourteen lives
were lost. Some of the drowned were

MURDER IN MALHEUR.

EXCITEMENT IS' RUNNING HIGH
Result of a Controversy Between Dem
ocrats at the Primaries.
SHERIFF FELL DOING ALL HE CAN
Lynching Certain Unless the Militia
can Prevent it by Reaching; Vale
In Time.
Baker City, April 11. Company F,
O. N. G., are on the way to the scene of
the murder in Malheur county, and it Is
expected will reach Vale in time to pre
vent the Iyncning or the prisoners in
custody of Sheriff Fell at that place,
These are John and William Bailey,
and Lee Mullen, murderers of Wil
liam Humbert, April 5th, while on
his way home from the democratic
primaries held at a little school house on
Bully creek flat that day. He was shot
and killed in the road, about a half mile
from bis residence on Dry creek, between
Vale and Westfall. - They had all been
attending the primaries, and during the
evening Humbert and John Bailey had
a quarrel about voting. Afterwards
Bailey was around the polls with his
arm cut, claiming that it was done by
Humbert. Humbert left for home in
the evening and had come to the hill
within sight of his house when John
Bailey, his brother William, and a young
man, Lee Mullen, who was hired by the
Bailey boys, overtook him. The Baileys
opened fire at close range, so close that
their victim was powder burned. Hum
bert was unarmed. He was shot four
times through the back and fell dead
from his horse. The Bailey brothers
were arrested that evening, and are now
in jail at Vale. Talk of lynching in
duced Sheriff Fell to put a strong guard
in the jail. Nothing was done, however.
At the coroner's inquest, the jury found
the killing had been done by the Bailey
brothers. Humbert's little daughter
saw the shooting and ran to her father,
but when she reached bim he was dead.
Excitement runs high in that section
and strong threats of lynching are in?
dulged in by the cowboys. Sheriff Fell
is doing all in his power to protect the
prisoners and petitioned Gov. Pennoyer
to detail company F, at once. If the
cowboys, who are now organized, do not
carry their threats into execution before
the militia arrives the murderers will be
escorted to the city for safe keeping.
" A Cow Killer.
St. Paul, Minn., April 10. The storm
which prevailed for two weeks on the
Eastern Montana ranges was disastrous
to cows and young calves. The wool
growers were more fortunate than the
cattlemen, and have been able to keep
the flocks sheltered, but they met with
some loss, notwithstanding. The stock
in other parts of the state is in excellent
condition, and with a loss comparatively
light. The drive from the south will be
large.

Agent Lockj-'a Experience With the IT. P
- The Dalles,. April 8.
Editor Chronicle: " - -
To illustrate the utter smallness and
meanness of the corporation known as
Union Pacific railway company, permit
f me to relate a little experience I have
lately had with that company. Last
fall I went down to the' Portland expo
sition on an excursion ticket purchased
from" the company. The ticket was
good for four days and finding I had' to
visit Engene before returning home
went to Agent Hurlburt in Portland and
asked him what disposition I could make
of my return ticket.' He informed me
that if I should run two days Over the
time allowed by the ticket for return, it
would cost me 80 cents a day and that
should in that case have to pay $2 for
one way ticket from Portland to The
Dalles instead of the regular fare. On
the morning of my return (it was Sun
day) I called at Mr. Hurlburt's office
and wa informed by a man who was
sweeping out the office . that the agent
would not be there until 9 o'clock. As
the train left there at 7 I was obliged
leave without getting a ticket and,
course, the conductor obliged me to pay
the full fare on the train. . I applied
to
Mr. Hurlburt through The Dalles agent.
for a refund of fl.oo, the amount over
paid through no fault .of mine, and was
informed that in order to get it I must
buy a ticket from the company the' first
time I am going to Portland, when the
amount would be allowed, and not
otherwise. Now the' mere amount in
volved is no consideration.' It . is the
principle of the thing. The company
owes me a sum of money, acknowledges
by letters in "my possession that they
owe it, but refuse to pay it unless as
rebate on another ticket. Happily they
cannot force"me to travel by their road
as I never do and will not travel a mile
on the Union Pacific or ship a pound of
goods over their line when I can help it
ine Kegulator is good enough for me
and I thank God on my own behalf and
on behalf of the people of Northeastern
Oregon for a line of transportation that
saved us from being at the mercy of the
Onion Pacific, and while I am in the
business, I thank the Chronicle for the
noble stand it takes in defense of the
people's rights. May its 'shadow never
grow less. - J. C. Lucky
-Warm Spiring Indian Agent
Concerning an Arbitrary Rule.
- The Dalles, April 9th.
Editor Chronicle:
My little girl, ten years old,- who has
to travel to school in storm and sun
shine, in. dust and mud, every day, i
distance of four miles, going and com
ing, has been expelled for' being absent
four half days, unexcused.' 1 ' went to
the principal to explain the matter, and
he sent me to one of the directors, and
that director sent me to another direc
tor, and this last one I cannot find any
where, after having spent half a day in
the effort, a time that I can ill afford to
spare from my work.
The rule by which my girl was ex
pelled may be all right for a boy, who
plays truant or absents himself to en
gage in a game of. hookey, but for a girl
who is present in school every hour it
is possible for her to be, it works a hard
ship, both upon the child and. its par
ents. My opinion is that we, in the ex
treme 'east of the city, have a right to
demand that we be given a school to
ourselves, and not crowd all the schools
together, as they are now. C. Wyss
The Chronicle repeats its warning to
Boss Moody, that if he desires the suc
cess of the republican ticket, he must
put a muzzle on the man whom he has
hired to run the Times-Mountaineer in
his interest, or else curtail his supply of
liquid retresnments.
