A serious cutting affray occurred at
the Columbia house '. this afternoon
about 3 o'clock, a man named Conroy
being cut by another named O'Brien
The men had been quarreling, but as we
heard the story, had quit, when'without
warning O'Brien attacked ' Conroy with
a knife, making a vicious stab at him.
rue knife struck uonroy nnder the ear
and cut a gash from that point forward
and downward across the neck, barely
missing the jugular. -Dr.' Hollister
stitched up the wound, and Marshal
Blakeney arrested O Bnen, Who is at

mining accident occurred by- which a
man was killed. The body was brought
to the surface and laid out. '. He and his
partner were new arrivals from Washoe,
T and were of the prize fighting fraternity,
As a crowd gathered solemnly around to
view the body and regret the accident
the partner exclaimed : "My God, he
. was a good man. It's too bad. He was
a good man," and the crowd bowed
lower in reverential awe and admiration
for the truly good, until the conclusion
ol the sentence, "he licked a son' of a gun

good quality and amounted in weight to

THE HARNKY COU5I1T.
A Business Man Talk Entertainingly of
That Section.
Ben Brown, a young business man of
Burns, Harpey county, says of that sec
tion : :
"We are going to have over a half mil
lion pounds of wool this year, and that
must be hauled to the O. R. & N. Just
six men or firms own over 100,000 head
of cattle. There's P. French, who has
40.000 head, and Miller & Lux, who
have 50,000, and these men own im
mense tracts of land. French has 100-
000 acres and Miller & Lux have 125,000
acres. And there is plenty more land
to spare in Harney county. Two of the
three heaviest taxpayers in the county
each pay $6000 on their property, while
the third pays $6500. The raising price
of beef has helped us considerably, and
there are now but 10.000 steers remain
ing to be sold this season. '"
The price of wool has, of course, in
jured the sheepman ' greatly. At the
present time they are not paying ex
penses. Many ol tbem nave mortgaged
their sheep, and. now that times have
not as yet improved greatly they are go
ing to get into trouble. Few of them
will be able to pay off their mortgages.
"But we'H come ont all right in the
end. Wool will nee in price as times
grow better. Then if the Oregon Pacific
were constructed through Southern Or
egon to an eastern connection, you
would see a rapid development. There
are hundreds of square miles .in the
county yet unoccupied and nntrod by
man.' Some of this land ' needs water
and some does not. It is all fertile, and
irrigation will make it bloom with foliage
and prosperity."
Did'nt Car a Whoop.
Yesterday evening just before the boat
came in, a lumber laden scow that had
been anchored near the wharf undertook
to move np the slough to the foot of
Washington street, Just before she
pulled in her gang plank, one of the men
employed on ber made bis appearance
and started to get aboard. He had a
new pair of. shoes under ' his arm and
booze enough for a half dozen jags nnder
his vest. As he struck the boat he fired
one shot) across the scow's bow to bring
her to and the other which was aimed
at the hull struck the water instead
owing to lack of elevation. Seeing the
stranger bearing down on tbem with his
batteries and knees unlimbered, the
crew of the ' scow were hastily "beat
to quarters'' to receive him. Before any
of them could get ashore to lend a. hand
the stranger struck the gang plank and
plunging heavily forward struck bow
on, throwing the water in a sparkling
shower for many yards. He struggled
ont, tackled the gang plank again, sat
down straddle of it. and turning, slowly
over hung head down a moment, and then
letting go all holds, went ca-plunk out
of eight, scarcely rippling the surface of
the water as he went in like a flat stone
edgewise, or a frog with a snake after
him. He crawled out, and scorning as
sistance made another stagger at it only
to miss the plank and hit the river for
the third time. Then the boys on the
scow got him aboard and laid him out on
a pile of lumber. ' He evidently did not
like the lay out, for in a minute he was
up again and had posseesed himself of a
pike pole, and commenced stabbing it in
a friendly way into the broad bosom of
the Columbia. The pole would not
reach bottomf so in order to save him
self he let go of it, but in a moment re
pented, and plunged in after it. Some
of the men ran aft and hooking a pike
pole into the seat of his - overalls they
pulled him on board again. He was
persistent fellow ; thongb, and the last
we saw of him he was lying on his face
with one of the crew sitting on him
while the others landed the scow. We
have seen jags of all degrees, toots of all
kinds, and even the hilarious razzle-
dazze but this was decidedly the moat
vermiform drunk we ever beheld.
Powder Mill Blow Up.
The powder mill at Pinole, near San
Francisco, blew up yesterday with ter
rific force. Fourteen employes were
killed. The dispatches this morning
say :
All the men in the nitre-glycerine
house were experts at their business,
and Harry Minugh was at one time
assistant superintendent of the plant.
From the position of the bodies when
found, it was seen that the cause of the
explosion was in the washing depart
ment of the nitro-glycerine house, as the
bodies of Johnson and Minugh were in
tact, while those in the lower part of the
bnilding, where the nitro-glycerine is
washed, were blown all to pieces; in
fact, but small portions of their bodies
have yet been recovered. Twenty men
are scouring the fields for a mile around,
endeavoring to gather some remains that
would secure the identification of the
victims. ..
The tremendous force of the explosion
can be observed on all sides. The nitro
glycerine house was built on the side of
a hill, which is 300 yards north of the
railroad station. Great trees near by
were twisted and torn as if by lightning.
In all directions, the terrible violence of
the explosion is manifested. -All over
the surrounding fields are scattered in
ghastly confusion bits of human remains,
telling the horrible story of the disaster.
Men in all directions are searching, only
to find particles of bodies too small for
any purpose. ." Large sacks have been

The point of this drama turned on the
accidental exchange of two grip sacks
over the glove counter of a store visited
on the arrival of the train . by the bride'
groom rnd one of the bridesmaids. The
resulting confusion worked nearly
fatal damage to the wedding festive
ties. Mr. Varney as the pater familias,
was a strong cast. Miss Koboins was a
dignified, if sometimes tearful, mother,
The part of the bridesmaid, taken by
Miss Snell, was one that required more
acting, and it was admirably done, as
were the others. i ' '
The dance following lost not a whit of
pleasure from the high histrionics pre'
ceding.
. A Pleasant Affair.
Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Wilson gave a very
pleasant party last evening at their spac
iou8 home in honor of Miss Gwilt of
Portland, who has been visiting several
days in The Dalles. A number of young
people were invited who passed the
evening hours amid much merriment.
The entertainment was quite novel as it
called into play the artistic abilities of
those who wene present and some of the
drawings executed would take high rank
as caricatures. At the close, guesses
were made as to what the different draw
ings were intended to represent. Miss
Rose Michell received the prize as the
one who guessed the most correctly;
Dainty refreshments were served and at
a late hour the guests departed. Those
present besides the host and hostess and
Miss Gwilt, were Alma Schmidt, Laura
Thompson, Rose Michell, Florence
Lewis, Nona Rucb, Etta Story, Buelah
Patterson, Max Vogt, Chas. Lord, G. W.
Phelps, Fred Wilson, Ralph Rowland,
D. H. Roberts, Frank French and H. H.
Riddell.
The Other Half, Just Dog. .
Sheriff Driver is the proud owner of a
dog, which he purchased in Portland
yesterday. The dog has a pedigree as
long asa free silver resolution, and as it
was made on purpose for him it fits like
a pair of bloomers. Tom was proud of
his purchase for awhile, but after getting
the opinion of several canine connois
seurs, he has somehow lost confidence in
the cerulean hut, of the animal's ances
tral blood, and is disposed to treat him
with undue contempt, considering the
amonnt paid for him. The dog, on the
contrary, knows a good thing when he
sees it, and follows his master as cheer
fully and as persistently as he would if
he were a bone. There seems to be a
growing coldness between them running
at the ratio of 16 on Tom'B part to 1 on
that of the dog, and if there is not a
sheriff's sale of misfit canines in the
next week, we lose onr guess.
TBI BOSK.
The forest flowers are beautiful,
first blossoms of the spring;
The crocus peeping from the earth,
; The violet of lowly birth,
And bluebells, that for very mirth
The vagrant breezes swing.
Sweet columbines, whose honevcombs
The humming birds have sipped.
The buttercups of golden hue,
The Johnny-jump-ups, deepest blue,
And purple iris filleo with dew,
Or cowslips yellow lipped.
. Yet sweeter far than all of these ,
The fragrant garden shows,
. The daring daisies, pink and white,
The pansy with its face alight
And lilies queenly in their height ;
But qneen of all, the rose.
Yes ! queen of all, more beautiful
In each and every part,
Than any blossom springtime shows,
Than any other flower that blows:
The pink tipped rose, the red lipped rose,
x o queen suii 01 my neart.

Closing Exercises Thl Morning.
Friday Dally '
If all those who would have been in
terested in the exercises of the pupils of
Miss Hollister and Miss Rowe had been
present this morning, no room in this
town would have held them.1 The pro
gram consisted of singing by the pupils,
led by Miss Hollister, recitations, with
some very pretty character sketches,
snowing admirable training by the effi
cient teachers. The most marked one
was a song by a little girl in a blue
dress, "When the little children sleep,"
and was very gratifying. . It was prettily
and modestly Sung and with an absence
of that straining for loud noise, which
uhbappily marks so much children's
singing, but which is the error of their
instructors, rather than ot themselves.
Special fTonaell Meeting.
A special meeting of the city council
was held this morning, at ' which were
present Mayor Menefee and . all the
councilmen except Mr. Thompson. The
meeting was called to take action regard
ing the providing for payment of the
funding bonds in gold. Special ordinance
No 298, providing for the payment
of the bonds on gold, was read and
passed. Mr. Nolan moved that the re
corder be instructed to notify Messrs
Theis and Barroll, the bond purchasers,
that the city will demand a remission of
all accrued interest on bonds trom May
1st to the date of the delivery. As this
was the extent of the special business
the council adjourned.
JL Decision In Chamber.'
Judge Bradshaw has rendered a de
cision in tne case ot rooie vs. mem
bothom on the motion . to set aside the
verdict and grant a new trial. The
action, which was brought on a promis
sory note, was tried at the last term of
court in Sherman county and the jury
returned a verdict for the defendant.
The judge yesterday rendered a decision
setting aside the verdict on the ground
of insufficient evidence to support it and
ordered a new trial. The decision will
be received with interest by Sherman
county people, as the amount involved
was several thousand dollars.
