ROSEDURG, OREGON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8, 1000. Review, POLICEMAN KILLED One Wife-Murderer Hanged; An other Sentenced. BELLINGHAM'S FATAL WRECK May Hare Been Result of Carelessness Instead of Ibe Work of Train Wreckers Special to the Evening Review. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8. Three soldiers,, one of them fatally shot, are In custody of the police, suspect ed of being concerned in the death of Police Sergeant Anton J.

Jordan, and Richard O'Con nor, privates In the coast artillery at Fort Baker. Wife Murderer Swings, SAN QUENTIN, Calif., Jan. 8. "Sacred heart of Jesus, have mercy on my soul," were the words spoken Ina firm voice, by Thos. P. Fallon, the wife murderer, as the noose was slipped about his neck on the prison sca'ffold here this morning. Twelve minutes later he was pronounced dead. He prayed audfbly as ho was marched from the cell to the gallows. Fallon killed his faithless wife four years ago,- but the earthquake and fire destroyed the court records, hence the long delay before the execution.

Investigation today indicates that it was the carelessness of the yard crew and not the work of train wreckers, which is responsible for the accident last night which resulted in the death of Fireman Ed. Stewart and the ser ious Injury of two other men. By striking an open switch a Great Northern passenger engine and bag gage car plunged Into Bellingham Bay. In addition to the foregoing casualties the trestle was wrecked. The- engine lies almost completely submerged In the bay,, the mail car and baggage coach are smashed to bits and the smoker Is derailed. The injured are Engineer Jack Bailey, both legs crushed, amputation nec essary; Mail Clerk George L. Rhodes, right shoulder dislocated. Both are from Seattle. Express Messenger Nel son escaped by a miracle. 'ihe fireman's body sank with the engine and was not recovered. The engineer went under,, but came to the surface and struck out for a pil ing and there clung until he was res cued by a rowboat. The passengers were badly shaken up, but none of them were Injured. Seventy-five peo ple were aboard the train. ' " ' 'Another Wife Slayer. CHEHALIS, Wash., Jan. 8 Frank Bridgham was re-sentenced thin morning to be hanged on March 26, for the murder of his wife a year ago at Napavine. O'Connell BosfK Substitute. PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 8. Jack Peterson, who was advertised to meet Eddie O'Connell, the Multnomah wrestler, failed to appear last night and a wrestler whose name Is snid to be Joe LaSalle and from Chicago, was substituted. LaSalle won the first fall, but O'Connell got the other two. Peterson's failure to appear is said to be due to his Inability to make the prescribed weight of 160 pounds. Many persons claim that the man was not Peterson, the Swedish middle weight champion, but Charley Oleson, the champion heavyweight wrestler of Canada. HORN.

UKNEKX KKLI) VV, Friends Refuse to Canvass Vote, Fear ing Plot to Oust Him Stnte Water Right at Stake. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Jan. 7. The inauguration of Governor Charles S. Deueen and the other state offic ers elected November 3 has been post poned Indefinitely, and the legislative wheels are at a standstill. The In auguration was set for next Monday. This Is the latest sensation In one of the bitterest political fights In the history of old-timers. Friends of Gov. Deneen today refused to join with the republican-democratic alli ance In the House to canvass the vote cast at the November election. The Inauguration cannot take place until the- vote Is canvassed. The election of a United States senator or any business other than perfecting an organization in the legislature can not be carried on until the vote Is canvassed. Friends of Governor Deneen refus ed to canvass the vote, believing that a plot was abroad to spring a resolu tion calling for a recount of the bal lots In the threatened attempt to oust Governor Deneen, should the canvass be taken up today. Big stakes are in the plany against Governor Deneen, say old-timers. Centered In the fight against the gov ernor Is the control of millions to be used In developing the deep wu terway In Illinois, Bay men who are familiar with the waterways plans. The adoption .of the $20,000,000 bond Issue by the people at the November election makes this amount available. The Commonwealth Edison Company and the Economy Light & Power Co. are said to be Interested in the wa terway controversy and the develop ment of valuable water-power rights In the Desplalnes river between Jol let and Utica. Administration leaders here de clare that Roger C. Sullivan is lead ing the democratic end of the fight for control of water power by the electric lighting interests. They as sert there is a move afoot for state wide control of lighting interests. The charge has been made that n "trust" enterprise Is under contem plation that will be able to gobble up all valuable-rights that would be available in the development of a ship cannl.

Foregoing Is a complete summary of the business done by the Roseburg postoffice during the past three years These figures are from the quarterly reports of Postmaster C. W. Parks and ore therefore oftlcinl. As an un mistakable index or the progress and growth of this city this showing Is very gratifying. The business trans acted during the year 1908 shows nn advance of 12 per cent over that of 1907, and over 25 per cent advance over 1906. A growth of 25 por cent In two years In any town Is surely "going some." It must he under stood that this is purely a normal growth, there having been nothing whatever of a siwcinl nntnre to boost the postolllce business outsldo of the real growth or the town nnd county. Neither has there been anything In the nature of a boom of anv kind. It has been a solid, substantial growth from year to yenr. This showing also proves conclus ively that Itosehurg and Douglas county felt no serious effect of the eastern financial flurry of a year ago. Doubtless a still better showing would have been made, were we not handicapped by Inconvenient train schedules. One of the through trains south of here each way every day was cut off at the time of the flurry and hns never been replaced.- Then under the present arrongement one of the southbound trains reaches here at such a time thnt the postolllce windows are closed for an hour In what should be nbout the busiest tlmo In each forenoon. This, no doubt, cuts off nn appreciable amount of revenue. Yet. In Bplte of these handicaps, this office has made a gain of over 25 per cent in the past two years. Delivery System Needed According to the above figures, Roseburg has been entitled to a free delivery mall system within the city limits ever since Dec. 31. 1906. While we are still waiting for this, it Is mainly the city's own fnult in not having tho street namcB properly placed at each street crossing and the houses properly numbered. A postal Inspector was here some months ago for the express purpose of examining the local conditions as regards the establishing of this free mall delivery. He found nil the nec essary requirements except as herein stated, and he told a Review repre sentative at that time thnt he would recommend to the postofflco depart ment that tho freo delivery service be established here Just as soon as this street names and house numbering matter was properly complied with. Neither has yet been done and every one who expects to receive or send mall nuiBt go to the postoffice to get It done, Unless this matter Is at tended to right away It is probable that we shall have to wait for an other year, until another Inspector mnkes an examination and report, be fore we can secure ihe establishment of this service. Let us have this. along with the street paving, good roads and other Improvements, and put Roseburg out of the village class, make It a progressive, modern city With these advantages Instead of our splendid growth of 26 per jent In two years, that advance will he more than duplicated within 'he coming year.

' PORTLAND, Or., Jnn. 7. In ac- - cordiuice with recommendations sub- . muted recently to the War Depnrt jment hy Adjutant-General W. K. Fln i zer, of the Oregon National Guard, ! instructions were received at Guard headquarters yesterday for the or ganization of a full company of Coast Artillery at Marshticld at as early a Su g authorization from the War Department, General Flnzer at once took up the planB for the coos way company. Ho will torn zens of that place who are. willing to enter tho service. Plans for an armory were also ordered drawn up, to he forwarded to Marshticld, for it is Imposed upon that community to establish a building suitable for ar- structure there at this time. MarshMeld Is the second coast town to get a coast artillery organization, the first having gone to Astoria. The Marshlleld rostor must bear not lesB than 58 names. These men will be furnished everything in the way of equipment by the United States gov ernment., The equipment includes the new service rifles, It being neces sary for heavy artillery to bo drilled for operations as infantry. An out lay of approximately $5000 will be required to launch the new Organiza tion and the whole bill Is footed by uncle snm. In nddltton to probnhle new coast artillery companies, at least four companies of infantry are to be or ganized during 1909, In order to comply with the reorganization or der issued by the War Department. The location of these four companies is a matter yet to be Bettled. Nearly every enterprising town of any size tn the state is after one. One condi tion hereafter to be Imposed will bo the construction of a suitable ar mory structure. TIiIb may bo erect ed either hy the town or by private parties and will bo rented by the state for use as an armory. Inasmuch as $5000 worth of government equipment goes with every new com pany. It Is not intended hereafter to Intrust this property to the inade quacies of leaky or flimsy buildings. COUNTY COURT ORDERS.
