. A Kan of Ur Accidents
' Portland, Sept. 4. Robert Fenton, a
lineman, in sliding down a pole on First
and Yamhill this morning, caught hia
trousers on a broken spike half way
down, and there, with his head almoat
where his feet should be, he was fast
ened a minute or two, till assistance
reached him. When Fenton reached
the ground, he almost swooned from the
ereatrush of blood to his head while
hanging between heaven and earth, fig
uratively speaking. After, recovering
himself, Fenton said :
"That's the mildest accident I ever
bad siuce working for telegraph and tele
phone companies the past dozen years.
Just before leaving Chicago four months
ago, I ca tight hold of a live wire, losing
three fingers, do you nee? In St- Louis,
two years ago, I fell from the tops of
high poles three times, and, cat-like,
landing on my feet twice out of three
falls. The third time 1 broke my left
wrist. Well, to be short in my exper
ience, I've had both of my leg9 frac
tured, several ribs cracked, aud other
minor mishaps too numerous and tnf
iing to mention. No, I don't think I'll
ever eet killed in this business. Good
day.!"
As Viewed at Milwaukee.
Milwaukee, Sept. 4. A railroad man
close to the Northern Pacific receivers
said ' Judge Hanford's decision at
Seattle yesterday in the Northern
Pacific receivership case would not
affect the receivership, except to trans
fer the legal business of the receivership
from Milwaukee to some of the courts
that have jurisdiction in the country
through which the road passes. He
said :
"Judge Han ford has appointed the
same receivers, and ha cannot discharge
except for cause. When they were first
appointed, the Northern Pacific had
property in this district, and there was
no doubt of the jurisdiction. The Ives
faction may institute proceedings in
some Western court to oust the receivers
similar to the action which they brought
in the Milwaukee court, but I. hardly
think it probable."

Kne the Challenger.
New York, Sept. 3. Recently at the
Coney Island Jockey Club, James Keene
approached August Belmont and offered
to match Domino, the star of the stable,
against Henry of Narrve, the Belmont
stable crack, at even weights. Keene
stated that he would agree to make the
stakes $10,000 a side, the race to be run
any day . that both parties should
agree upon. Belmont did not .take up
the challenge nor would he refuse the
wager. It is understood he wants to
better satisfy himself a to his horse's
