A RELIABLE REPORT.
Tie California Train Roddgk Still at
Large Unlmrt.
kTHE OUTLAWS FARING VERY WELL.
I No Signs That Either Evans or Sontag
Have Been Injured.
CALLED AT A RANCH FOB DINNEB.
After a Conversation They Took Their
Icpartnre Golne Awa.T as They
Had Come. '
Fkesno, Cal., Sept 22. A reliable
citizen who lives near Sampson Flat has
arrived here. His account shows that
neither Evans or Sontag was wounded
at Young's house ; that Evans did not
lose his gun, or if he did that he got an
other, and that the outlaws are not short
of ammunition, although they have lost
200 cartridges. The day after the officers
were killed at Young's placeEvans and
Sontag came to the camp of a man
named Rogers, who keeps horses and
cattle. The camp is about three miles
from Youngs'. They came to his camp j
and asked him for something to eat. He
pretended not to know them and replied
that he had nothing cooked, but if they
would wait till he ould cook something
he would get them dinner. They said
they would wait, aud he proceeded to
cook dinner and make .coffee. Evans
and Sontag each had a double-barreled
shot guu'and each carried two revolvers
in his belt, and Sontag had a sack of
cartridges strapped to his back. JCeith er
of them showed any signs of having re
ceived a wound in the encounter with
the officers. This camp is nearly north
om Young's cabin, where the fight oc
curred. Rogers prepared dinner for the
'men, Betting both plates on the same
feide of the table, and poured their coffee
for them. Evans picked up his plate
And coffee and moved to the opposite
side of the table, so that he could torn-
Inland a view of the country in one di
rection, while Sontag could look out for
danger in the other. They ate their
dinner without anything unusual occur
ring. Then Evans took out a $10 gold
piece and offered it to Rogers in payment
for the dinner, but Rogers refused to
take it saying it was too much, and be
sides that they were welcome to the
dinner without pay. Thereupon Evans j
turned to Rogers and said : "Maybe
you don't know who we are." Rogers
answered that he believed they were
strangers, and then Evans continued:
"Well, I am Evans, aud this man is
Sontag." Rogers replied to them that
f they wanted anything about the camp
tnev couiu take it. jvans saia tney aia
not want anything except their dinner.
When they were ready to go, Evans
picked up a Winchester rifle lying in
camp, and examining it, said: "I see
it is not loaded." Rogers replied that
it was not, but if- they wanted it they
could have it. "I don't want it," said
Evans, "but if it had been loaded I
would request you to walk a few rods
away irom it wnne we are leaving.
Since it is not loaded yon need not
mind," and with that he laid the gun
down again. They talked a few minutes
ipore and then took their departure,
aroine the same way they had come, and
ilisappeared in the woods. -
Progress Due to Republicans.
Post Falls Post : The people of Idaho
kind the northwest owe the development
uid the prosperous condition of our
fcountry to the wise and liberal policy of
republican administration. We do
liot have to go back very far to find out
.vhich of the two great parties placed
tself on-ecord as favoring our interests.
pnly last winter, in the lower house of
congress, the democrats endeavored to
ripple the northwest and retard its de
velopment by cutting down the appro
priation for surveys for the whole
ountry to an amount far below that
vhich was needed for Idaho alone. On
he othfr hand, a republican senate,
ided bv the nersistent efforts of Willis
iweet, our representative in the lower
louse, fought the measure and defeated

ABOUT WAGES IN EUROPE.
Comparative 1.1st of Prices Tairt In the
United States.
Mr. Julius Goldschmidt, American
consul-general at Vienna, recently fur
nished eome interesting data in regard
to the daily wages paid for skilled and
unskilled workmen in the iron and steel
industries of Austria. His report shows
a state of facts that ought to be read by
every wage-earner, and in part is as fol
lows : .
"Men in iron foundries, 46 cents
rolling mills, 72 cents ; cutlery, 31 cents ;
forges, 37 cents ; wire nails, leadenware,
etc., 45 cents ; coppersmiths, 57 cents ;
machinery, 40 cents; shipbuilding, 34
cents."
Men who earn f 8 and $10 per day in
Pennsylvania and Illinois are paid at
the rate of 72 cents per day in Bohemia
and other manufacturing districts of
the Austro-Hungarian empire.
Consul Go'idschmidt concludes his re
port with the following pen picture,
which ought to be preserved by every
laboring man so that he may read it in
his despondent moments :
"A mechanic, clerk or inferior func
tionary rarely sees a roast on his table.
The houses of the people Wannot com
pare with those in the United States.
There is little house life ; the majority
of the population manage to make a
supper out of a glass of beer and a slice
of bread and a sausage at the restau
rants and public gardens, because more
than one meal at their own houses is
qnite beyond their means."
Crushed by an Elevator.
St. Lcuis, Sept. 22. Mrs. A. E.
Shields, the wife of a traveling man,
was killed at the Richheu hotel shortly
after noon yesterday. She and her hus
band had been boarding at the Ricblieu
for some time, with their baby and its
nurse. Mrs. Shields went to the eleva
tor to go down to the dining-room.
There is no glass in the door leading to
the elevator, and Mrs. Shields, after
ringing the bell, put her head through
the opening to see if the elevator was
coming np. At that moment is was de
scending, and it struck the back of her
head, crushing it badly. Strange to
say, she was not knocked down the
shaft, but staggered back into the hall
way. Then ensued a most horrible
scene. A chambermaid and- a porter
had witnessed the scene and ran to her.
She walked from them, and, notwith
standing the fact that she was practi
cally decapitated, ran to a speaking
tube and apparently tried to call some
one below. Then she ran or staggered
to her room a few feet away. Mrs.
Shields was twenty-four years old and
daughter of Colonel Campbell, clerk of
the court of appeals in Arkansas. Her
home was in Little Rock.
Pauper Immigrants.
Quebec, Sept. 22. Several hundred
immigrants, lately arrived by the steam
ef Sardinia and other steamers, having
through tickets to the United States, are
held here, awaiting the decision of the
United States government as to whether
they will be allowed to enter the United
States; after having been duly disinfect
ed at Grosse island by the railway com
panies. The condition of these people
is deplorable, man v not having a cent
wherewith to obtain either shelter or
food. '
A Shadow of His Former Glory.
Portland Telegram: There is still
some glory for a dethroned monarch
it is stated that ex-Jiang Sullivan re
ceived more applause than the new King
Corbett at the Madison square benefit,
Perhaps this will serve to save the
Boston giant from committing suicide
and believing that the world has no
sympathy for the wreck of his physical
greatness.
Working for the Same End.
Oregonian. . When the democratic
party shall succeed in restoring the old
wildcat money system, through state
banks, a result to which their national
platform points, the country will have a
quality of "money" quite as worthless
as the most deluded "populist" could
require.
Strikers Indicted
Homestead, Pa., Sept. 22. The ac
tion of the grand jury in returning 169
indictments aganist the' strikers has
created a profound sensation here, . not
unmixed with apprehension.
A Blick Swindle. ;
Madrid, Sept. . 22. Two men repre

AN EFFORT MADE TO REACH THEM

THE HAFFKINS INOCULATION TEST
The Case of Dr. JlcGlyiiii to Come
on the Cth of November To Be
Heard at Last.'
Mak.shfikld, Or., Sept. 22. A heavy
southwest swell is breaking over the
Wetmore today, and fears are entertain
ed for the lives of Captain O'Brien and
the watchman, who are on board the
wreck. . When it came up so rough that
the wbaleback could not be approached
yesterday with a lifeboat, Captain Loch
placed his beach gear on the tug Lib
erty and went as near as safety would
permit and tried to shoot a lifeline on
board, but the recoil kicked the cannon
overboard, and it was lost. Today the
cannon was brought over from the Ban
don life-saving station, and an effort
will be made to take the men off this
afternoon. A diver with a complete
diving outfit arrived in town today, and
as soon as the weather permits, will go
down and inspect the hull of the Wet
more. lie Seems to be Cholera-Proof.
Xew Yokk, Sept. 22. The Herald's
cable from Hamburg states that its cor
respondent, Stanhope, who submitted to
Dr. Haffkins' inoculation to test its effi
ciency in preventing cholera, is doing
his utmost to catch the disease. Stan
hope thus writes from the hospital, his
present residence : "I have so far done
nearly all my teste. Last night I slept
between two dying men. I have drank
Elbe water, eaten among the sick, and
neglected all precautions, and further
still, have placed my hands in my mouth
after nursing patients, etc., and, so far,
am safe.".
The Trial of Dr. McGlynn.
.new louK, fcept. 22. The coming
meeting in their annual conference of
thirteen archbishops of the United
States, which will begin on November
6th, has already been announced. A
new interest has been given to it by the
cabled statement that the pope will
have a representative present in the
person of Archbishop Sotolli, who, as
papal delegate, will be entrusted with
plenary powers. The St. Louis,' Mo,
Western Watchman, which is one of
Archbishop Ireland's organs, and of
which the Rev. D. S. Phelan is editor,
says in its issue of Sunday : "There are
many disputes between the bishops and
their clergy tnat nave long awaited a
settlement; chief among these is the
case of Dr. McGlynn. It is safe to say
that that famous case will now come up
for trial. Information from Rome is to
the effect that the propaganda has re
ceived satisfactory assurances from Dr,
McGlynn, and that his Bide of the ques
tion will at last be heard."
A Horrible Death.
Arlington Record. Wednesday morn
ing, as Watchman Leghorn, just starting
on hia daily rounds, was about two-miles
east of here on the railroad, he discovered
the mangled remains of a man scattered
over the road and covering a space of
two hundred feet. Mr. Leghorn had
the fragments brought to Arlington as
soon as he could summon assistance,
and they were deposited in the car house
near the depot. It was a sickening sight,
one that will be remembered a long time
by those who viewed it. The head, left
arm, and both legs were completely sev
ered from the body. The supposition is
that the man was riding on the truss
roda of a coach of No. 2, which passes
here at 2:15 a m., and either becoming
sleepy or not having a firm hold on the
roda was thrown from hia position and
instantly ground under the fast- flying
wheels. Deceased was a young man,
light haired and complected, and was
about 20 years of age, aa near aa could be
determined. He had a letter in hia
pocket addressed to Charles Z. Edwards,
Portland, Oregon, postmarked, Bedding,
Cal., and signed' "Brother Jim." A
coroner's jury was empannelled, and re
turned a verdict in accordance with the
above facts. ..- J . -'
. PROSPEROUS FARMERS.
An Inland . Empire Class With Solid
'.. Reason for Satisfaction.
From the Oaksdule Sun. . . , , . . , .
People of the Inland Empire have
every reason to feel pleased with their
lot as. they find it today, They find as
they harvest the wheat crop of the pres
ent season that it is a good average
yield 'and far ahead of what they had
anticipated. While the price does not
promise to be as encouraging as last
year, it will certainly be reasonably
high to begin with and no prospect or
reason of its getting any lower. Not
only should they fell thankful for what
they have been permitted to produce
and the realization that thev are per
mitted-to experience but ' also for the
fact that their financial condition is very
favorable compared with that of other
agricultural districts where the yield is
little over half of what it is here and
where the interest on indebtedness con
sumes a large portion of the country's
products. While eastern Washington
is not altogether free from mortgage in
debtedness, it is comparatively small,
and the instances are ' decidedly few
where liien of industry" have taken up
land infthe country and remained ' with
it for any length of time'that they have
not been able to remove any incum
brances" that were necessary beginning
the improvement, and with the success
that has heretofore attended the efforts
of the agriculturist it is only a question
of a verv short time when everv farm
will be ; clear of the dreaded incum
brance. ; Xot only has .the farmer been
able to make his pursuit a paving one
by the products of his labor, but he has
found that his land has increased in
value far in excess of that in any other
part of the United States, and he can
sell a place which ten vears ago was
government land for more than enough
to purchase the best improved tarm in
the central and eastern states.
New York, Sept. 23, A false alarm
of lire caused a panic in the Jewish syn
agogue crowded with worshipers this
morning.S Jn the rush for the stairway
four people were crushed and trampled
to death', a'lid a dozen seriously injured.
The firemen succeeded in extricating
the people from the blocked stairway,
The panic occurred in a tenement build
ing occupied by three synagogues, one
on each floor." In the synagogue on' the
top floor a candle accidentally ignited a
bit of drapery. Immediately ah excited
individual yelled fire, and then the rush
for the exit' came. At the front parti
tion door' there was a jam, then a crash
and part of the board wall gave
way. The mass 'poured, fell and rolled
down the steep stairway. Ithree times
as many persons were attending the
synagogues on the lower floors, more
than l,000 in all. They heard the rush
and crash above and heard the cries of
fire, and immediately likewise made a
rush for the street.
At the second floor the two blind and
maddened 'human avalanches met, and
a f nriouH struggle ensued. Men and-
women fought, dumb, but with the
madness of despair, and the weakest
went downL The deadlock was broken
again and; again, only to be renewed
with the same scenes of terror. Slowly
the solid mass, filling the stairway from
wall to ceiling, slid down to the ground
floor ; down there it brought up against
a rush irom the rear-noor synaeogue
and all came to a dead stop. The police
patrol arrived at this moment, and the
officers, fighting their way through the
crowd, finally broke the jam. Four
women lay dead and nine are seriously
injured. The injured were promptly
sent to a. hospital. Of the four dead
taken to 'the station-house, three were
identified. They are: Freda Becker,
44 years, Russian ; Naomi Rosenthal, 30
years, married; Tuebe Boynim, aged 50.

Washington-, Sept. 23. The epidemic
of revolutions in Central and South
America seems to be spreading. Colom
bia is now in danger. Word has reached
the state department that serious trouble
is brewing in consequence of the quaran
tine established against European and
American vessels. The' trouble was
commenced by the action of the author
ities at Savanilla in firing on the British
mail steamer Atrato as a warning to
keep out of that port. British residents
have resented this action, aud other
foreigners, especially merchants, are
complaining bitterly at the action of the
Panama authorities m closing all ports
against European and American ships.
Business is said to be completely parakv
zed, and general discontent prevails 98
the result. The American consul at
Colon has advised that an American
man-of-war be eent there as a means of
preventing trouble and to protect Am
erican interests should . the. necessity
arise : His request was promptly com
