'Portxaxu, Aug. 13. A nearly fatal
accident occurred to John Olson, an em
ploye'of the Pacific bridge company at
Oregon City, yesterday, while he and
Samuel Bewen were at work repairing
the suspension bridge, upon which are
strung the electric wires of the Willam
ette falls electric light company. Olson
first received a slight shock through an
. iron wrench, after which, to show that
he could stand the shock, he grabbed
the wire with hi3 bare hand, and but for
the close proximity of Bewen, who seized
and pulled hiru off, he would have been
.killed. . As it is, he has a terribly burned
hand, and an ugly wound in the arm
where.the bolt left him, and he will not
recover for some time. The wires from
which he received the shock were carry
ing 4,000 volts, and the men had been
warned of tho danger. I
THE . PEOPLES PARTY.
With a view of making the finest and
largest horticultural display-;- possible
this fall, preparatory to sending it east
to the worlds fair next year, the manage
ment of the exposition has decided to
give a . cash premium for the county
making the finest nnd largest display of
fruits, including canned, dried and
green , crown in the county exhibiting;
the panned fruit to be put ,up by indi
viduals growing it. A cash" premium
will also be given to the county making
the next finest and largest display, the
same rules to govern as in the above. A
cash premium will be given to the county
making the most artistic display. The
merchants and others in Portland" folly
.realize the importance of the fruit in
dustry, and of having it, if rioother, rep
resented at the worlds fair ; and to en
courage fruit growers to make an unu
sual effort to collect the very finest spec
imens possible, they have energetically
joined with the exposition, and will of
fer premiums to the individuals making
the best displays of fruit grown by the
exhibitor. About $500 has been sub
scribed and I think more will come.
The county displays will in no way inter
fere with individual exhibits. A fine
display at the exposition this fall will
do much towards advertising the fruit
prospects of Oregon, as the management
will make special days for visiting Odd
Fellows, and others, who can but ad
mire and talk of the Oregon fruit, seen
at the exposition. A competent and
impartial committee on awards will be j-
appointed and all courtesy possible will
be extended by the management. Ap
plications for space should be made at
once, for this will be bv far the largest
display ever made, and it is the desire
of those in charge to arrange the whole
display in the most artistic manner. A
knowledge of about what to expect will
aid them greatly. The lowest possible
freight rates have been secured for exhibits.

Gen. Weaver Holds a Levee at the Hel
ton Yesterday.
From thd Telegram. I " -
Gen .'James B. Weaver, the peoples
party nominee for president, arrived
here this morning, accompanied by a
small party', consisting of Mrs. Weaver,
Mrs. Lease, V. O. Strickler and C. O.
Strickler,' representing the national
committee, Mrs. Strickler and C. A,
Powers, of Terre Haute, Ind. The
party took rooms at the Ifolton house,
where temporary headquarters were
opened. When the general arrived he
waa met by a large number . of peoples
party adherents, who thronged the
headquarters till lunch hour. ' During
that time a general conference was held
between the general and his Oregon
managers, who informed him that this
state would send peoples party men to
the electoral college lieyond any doubt.
"I am sure of election," said General
Weaver to a Telegram reporter, "and I
will bo elected, too, right in the electoral
college. , I do not think the election can
possibly be thrown into the house.
. During the past two weeks a wonderful
change has taken place in the political
situation of this country. By virtue of
this change, the republican party stands
not a shadow of a chance for success.
The Homestead matter has caused a
study of republican principles and
methods. Therefore, the battle lies be
tween the people's party and the demo
crats, and the former has every ndvan
.tage. " Ve will carry the solid souths We
can do that easier than the democrats
can carry a single southern state. The
people of the south are taken with the
Omaha platform. It suits them. The
elimination of the republicans has em
ancipated the south, and thecolored and I
white people alike will vote their choice
of tickets. We will carry the entire ,

silver vote, since there is no choice on

New York, Aug. 15. In view of the
reports of injury to the crops abroad the
apathy of foreign buyers is significant.
It means that either they have large
stocks of foreign wheat and are "dead
broke" by losses sustained on them, or
else the reports of injury are. not true,
Reports from Iowa, Ohio, Illinois and
Kansas show that the corn has not made
np any of its lost time and that the crop
is tuny one month behind an average
year. The harvest of oats is under full
headway. The crop is streaked and un
even. Kansas has un increased acreage
i in the three leading crops ; wheat, corn
and oats. The increase in winter wheat
is 6.98 per cent, and spring wheat 10.4
per cent. The increased acreage in corn
is 7,4 per cent. The oats acreage in
crease is 24 per cent. The total availa
ble stock of wheat in the United States
and Canada, afloat .for Europe and in
Europe, as reported by Bradstreet,
amounted to 98,523,000 bushels on Aug
ust 1st, against 99,203,000 bushels July
1st and 85,864,000 August 1st last year.
Of this amount 64,448,000 bushels were
outside of America, against 63,544,000
bushels July 1 and 60,688,000 August
1st of. last year. The- visible
supply of wheat has begun to
reach the period of regular annual in
crease, and it may be expected to gain
steadily until the 1st of January. The
exports of wheat from both coasts for
the week ended Thursday showed a large
increase over last year for the corres
ponding week. The official Ohio report
says that it is probable that its esti
mate of 35,000,000 bushels, against 45,-
500,000 bushels last year, is likely to be
reduced by subsequent returns.
lne week witnessed the mating or a
new record in the London- market for
silver, the price of bars at that centre
having fallen to 384 d per dfinee, which
is the lowest point ever known. The
depression abroad naturally created a
much weaker feeling in this city, where
the commercial price of bars ran off to
the unprecedentedly low figure. of 84g.
This sharp decline reduces the bullion
value of the standard silver dollar pre
ceptibly, it now being only 62. 23. All
commercial nations are calling for gold..
La Touraine' took $1,000,000 gold, $13,-.
000 in silver coin, and the Elbe $44,000
in bars. The effect of the heaviness in
the markets both here and in London
was reflected in a pronounced decline in
the price ef silver certificates. The
amount of free gold held by the treasury
is $111,171,330, against $110,811,34S on
Saturday. The gold taken for shipment
was paid for entirely in legal tender and
treasury notes. There was "not the
slightest ripple in the money market
during the week, and the supply of funds
was in excess of the wants of borrowers.
i Call money was easy at ljA 2 per cent.
and time loans were done at 2)6 (ft 4 per
cent, for sixty days to six months. The
official figures of the treasury show that
the money in circulation in the country
on August the 1st was $101.,926,513greater
than last year, as will appear from the
