I. N. lay, Jr., arrived at the lxks
todav from his eastern trip. There is
today ninety-six stone cutters at work
and work is Ixiing pushed with more
vigor than at any time: since the com
mencement. A scurrilous report reflecting upon
tho character of Misses Aquia and llol-
couib was started today, but was
promptly hnshed by a "committee"
who waited upon the unconscionable
liar, and he will now prudently keep
his mouth shut.
The Kegulator's daily quota of pas
sengers ia large, and transports a good
many more people to Portlaim and way
points than the trains. Cheaper fare and
the chanco of bettor seeing the peerless
scenery along the Columbia river are
factors favorable to the boat line.
Miss Aquia so exhausted herself yes
terday by her violent exercise that it
was feared the consequences would lie
fatal to herself, as she is subject to
heart disease. She rallied, however,
and later in the evening, with her
friend, went back to the homestead.
Tlie scow Julia brought in a load of
telephone poles Thursday evening, and
made the best landing that has ever yet
been made by a scow on the river, land
ing beside the Kegulator close to shore.

came from Kiley Irake's place on 8-Mile,
and there ia 150 acres of it all alike. If
such a yield is general, it will raise the
standard of Wacco wheat to a fancy
grade.
J. C. Lucky was recently questioned
by Captain Kogers, appointed agent at
the Warm Springs agency, about the
quarters there. He replied that they
consisted of a terra cotta flue and a bed
of hot ashes. As it is optional with
these army officers w hether they accept
the position or not, it is likely Mr.
Lucky w ill not soon be displaced.

O. D. TAYLOR CHASTISED.
MIh Mary Aqula a lluravwhlp
WUh Komarkabl Igor.
Krlilay'a Piilljr.
The sensation of the afternoon has
been the attempt to horsewhip Uev. ().
I). Taylor on tho part of Miss Mary
Aquia, a young lady of Italian diweut,
w ho with MifS llessie Iloleomh, hat
been living on a homestead for some
time near Snipes' ranch. The troublo
arose over a matter of salary, between
Mis IMcomb, as teacher at tho Wasco
Independent Academy, of the one part
and the hoard of directors of the other.
Tho claim is made that an agreement
was reached wit li Mr. Taylor that she
was to leach either six months for UK)
or the full year for $700, while Mr. Tay
lor says it was $400 for the half year and
tiKK) for the full year. The latter inter
pretation is the understanding of the
board of directors, backed by the re
ceipts of Miss Holcomb for payment in
full for her services.
It was a matter of considerable sur
prise, therefore, to Mr. Taylor when a
little after noon Miss Aquia, with flashing
eyes, stepped Into the private office of
Mr. Taylor, armed with a horsewhip,
and demanded satisfaction. He claimed
ignorance of the nature of the demand
and shut the intruder out, who was also
accompanied at the time by Miss Hol
comb. For the space of about an hour
Miss Aquia walked up and down the
streets, oblivious of the presence of a
hundred men who were enjoying the
sensation and making all manner of re
marks. She was apparently waiting for
Mr. Taylor to come out of his office.
In the meantime a warrant had been
issued for her arrest, and she w as re
quired to keep the peace under bonds.
This step was taken with her full
knowledge and power to stop the pro
ceeding. She was approached by Mr,
Dufur, the deputized prosecuting attor
ney, and told that if she would abandon
her threats and promise to keep the
peace she w ould not be arrested. Other
w ise as an officer of the law, lie was
compelled to observe the peace and de
corum of the citv. She replied that she
had nothing to say to Mr. Du'ur, and he
proceeded w ith the making out of the
papers.
Evidently the warrant was not served
on her in time, for about 2 o'clock she
met the object of her anger at Win
Michell's corner. She began plying her
lash, and Mr. Taylor turned and held
her hands. She then commenced kick
ing him, and the crowd forced Mr. Tay
lor to relinquish her hold. She was
thus master of the situation and rained
blows thick and fast upon his back.
He then ran up the street, his cliaatieer
following until lost to sight behind Mr.
Joles' bouse. Miss Aquia was then ar
rested bv Sheriff Ward. Ihe srirl was
accompanied by Mrs. Dr. Kinehart and
Miss Holcomb, and tho party repaired
to the oilice of Ir. Kinehart.
In Justice Iavis' court this afternoon
Miss Aquia was bound over to keep the
peace in $-0 bonds, and the charge of
assault and battery was dismissed.
Miss Aquia and Miss Holcomb are
friends- of long standing. There has
been an anient affection between them
since they were school girls in Wellesley
college. Both are possessed of fine ac
coinplishments. The singular infatua
tion between them, It is reported, has
been the cause of Miss Holcomb's almost
total estrangement from her family
Her father is reputed to be wealthy
but refused to furnish a home to Miss
Aquia, at the solicitation of Miss Hoi
comb. Since then they have been con
stantly in each other! society, and for
over a year have been in The Dalles.
Recently Miss Holcomb entered a home
stead and the two have been living on
it ever since, and have been much ad
mired for their pluck. It is evident
that both have a good share of that
quality, though the manifestation of i
on the Btreet today cannot be seriously
commended. However, she is a queen
today, and offers of financial backing
are numerous.
A BRUTAL CRIME.
Mm. Cokrll. Living Nr Wrtb,Out.
raged by a Tramp.
frou tht Pally Chronicle, Krldiiy
One of the most brutal crimes in the
calendar was perpetrated on the person
,f Mrs. Cockreli. near Wveth at 1 :05
o'clock yesterday (Thursday) morning
She had not locked her outside door.
and, U-sides herself, there was only 1
Im hnnse. her 9-vear-old bov. She was
awakened from her Bleep by violence
Her asailant was a man of powerful
frame, and a glance sufficed to show that
he was txiFsesHi'd of the lowest Instincts
and narrowed intelligence. She divined
his purpose and commenced screaming
and the liltlo boy ran out In the door
yard and shouted loud and long for help.
The noise final'y aroused 8. J. Dryden
who lives, with his family, about 50
yards distant, and sei.ing a Wincla ster
he started for the scene, liefore reach
ing tho house lie noticed the man trying
to tiled a second entrance, against whom
on tho inside were the old lady and boy,
trying to keep the door from being
forced. As eo 'ii as the fellow saw
Dryden coming he ran, disappearing be
hind steep embankment into some
bushes. He waited for a further sound,
but did not bear any and it is not vet
known where he did go. Dryden was
l.ieventcl from further pursuit by the
remain, and Mr. Dryden believed it was
wisest for the present to do so.
Mrs. Cockreli is lit years old, and has
grown up sons, Harpain by name, who
live in the neighborluxjd. She has been
married three times. The old lady has
been weakly all w inter and much appre
ben lion had Ix-en felt that she would not
live. After the assault she was reduced
to superlative weakness, and Mr. Dryden !
took her in bis nrms and carried her to j
his own house. She maintained that
the villain had not accomplished his
purpose, hot there were evidences that
she was mistaken in part.
Mr. Dryden came on the next train for
The Dalles, arriving here on the noon
train yesterday. He gave the officers a
minute description of the man, and
hen the freight pulled in at o'clock
this morning Oflicer Gibons described
im riding between two cars, standing
on the buffers. Mr, Dryden, coming up,
lentiflod him and be was promptly
landed behind the bars. Here a re
porter of The CiiaoNicLK saw him. He
was found non-communicative, saying
only his name was Stron. He is
of foreign birth, apparently about 40
years old, and is powerfully built. His
air, thin on top, is tinged with gray.
His eyes were cast downward, giving
him that sheepish, hang dog expression
peculiar to his class. He has been
hanging around Wyeth for several days,
and the day before had met Mrs. Dry
den and her little girl walking along the
track. He spoke to them, but was not
noticed. In the evening he saw the lit-
U girl carrying a tin pail, and asked
her to go down to his camp and have
some coffee with him. She refused and
doubtless escaped a fate later reserved
for Mrs. Cockicll.
A warrant was sworn out for him at
Cascade Locks and he will probably be
taken there for trial. The whole coun
try down ther is worked up over the
matter to an alarming extent. Men
have been scouring all over the woods to
find the miscreant, but a telegram sent
there this morning will stop the search.
MONTEREY MARINES.

The officers of the Monterey will ar

amount sufficient for their entertain
ment was appropriated at a special
meeting of the city council last night.
Upon arrival they will be driven to
some of our fruit ranches and farms and
given a chance to find out just what a
substantial country this is. At 8 o'clock
they will be tendered a graud banquet

ARRIVE AT THE LOCKS.
Cascade Locks, July 22. The follow
ing party arrived on the Dalles City, and
at once hoarded the Regulator for The
Dalles: Captain Louis KempfT, Lieut.

Ii rook s and wife were introduced to the
guests, who one ?nd all said they were
delimited with the trip. A considerable
number of people had gathered to see
the party as they stepped from the boat.
THE MOKTEKKY.
The Monterey is a double turreted
monitor, and is one of the most formid
able coast defense ships in our navy
There is a distance of about 50 feet be
tween tht turrets and during an en
gagement the ship can be sunk In the
water until only a foot of it is viBible.be
sides the turrets. The vessel is almost
proof against projectiles, as unless a
ball happens to strike these circular
turrets squarely. It is apt to glance
aside. Within the turrets one man is
sufficient to man the guns. These are
breech loaders and may be turned at
will by means of pivots. They can tie
loaded, aimed and fired by the operator
in an incredibly short time. All parts
of the vessel are lined with an armor
well-nigh impenetrable, and what Is be
low the suifoie is also protected with
lighter armor, as the force of a ball is
greatly lessened after striking the water.
Tha Monterey OrBrers.
The officers of the Monterey arrived
on tho Regulator Saturday evening
about 5 o'clock. They were attired in
civilian'! clothes, for which they after
wards apologized, saying they had no
inkling of the generous entertiiinuv-nt ;
provided for them after reaching the
city. They were met by carriages and
driven to Dry Hollow and Mill creek,
affording them a chance to observe our
fruit ranches. At 8:15 a substantial
lunch with colfee was served in Fra
ternity hall. Their time being limited,
they returned home Sunday morning, in
time to meet the vice-presidential party,
scheduled to lie in Portland yesterday.
They were much pleased w it h the beau
tiful scenery atrorded along tho Colum
bia river, and said it would not suffer by
comparison with that of tho Rhine or
tho Hudson.

Since getting out of rocky ground,
the telephone line has made, rapid work,
being strung seven miles east of this
city. Work from the oilier end has
progressed so that the line is now com
pleted this side of the John Day. It ia
expected that w ithin ten days commu
nication can be had between The Dalles
and Spokane.
Stewart Creighton, foreman of con
struction, was in town this morning and
furnishes the above news. He states'
that generally the instruments have
been put in the drug stores en route.
This for the reason that a drug store is
open more hours in the day than any
other, and is a place where women can
transact business with more privacy
than in almost any other kind of busi
ness house.
The office here will be put in Blake
ley & Houghton's in the rear of the dis
pensary. A neat partition will be built
for a room about 1-xltl, lighted by a
skylight 10x12, and supplied with all
office conveniences.
It will perhaps lie two'months before
through communication can be had to
Portland, as there is a prodigious
amount of labor to be done in digging"
holes for the poles, which will be more
or less in rock.
