Portland Once More the Scene
of a Double Tragedy.
CASE OF MURDER AND SUICIDE
A Well-Known Civil Engineer Shoots
and Kills Sirs. Mabel Calvin and Him
self They Were People of Splendid
Family Connections.
Portland, Or., September 17. It was
about 1 :30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when John V. Stengele, a well-known
young civil engineer, shot and killed
Mrs. Mabel Calvin of Worcester, Mass.,
who has been visiting with relatives
here, and then, placing the deadly re
volver to his own head, blew out his
brains. The tragedy occurred on the
sidewalk on the south side of Yamhill
street abont 100' feet west of Thirteenth
street. Three shots were fired in quick
succession, and the man and woman fell
side bv side on the pavement. Stengele
died instantly, and his victim (rave only
one or two gasps after the arrival of sev
eral bystanders who witnessed the shoot
ing. Unrequited love prompted the
double crime.
The news of the terrible affair created
intense interest, owing to the splendid
familv connections of both the dead and
also their large circle of acquaintances
throughout the citv. Mrs. Calvin was
a daughter of 8. Forehand, President
and principal owner of the Forehand
Arms Company of Worcester, Mass., who
is reputed to be worth several million
dollars. - She came here about eighteen
months ago for the purpose of securing a
divorce from her husband, and had been
making her home with her relatives Mr.
and Mrs. Jewett, at 472 Yamhill street.
Stengele bad been in Oregon five years,
and for some time was employed at his
profession of civil engineering. More
recently he had been working for the
city as receiving clerk in the work of con
structing the new water works. He bad
exemplary habits, and was well thonght
of by a host ol acquaintances, ana n&u
friends all over the State, who will think
. it incredible that he would commit so
foal a crime. His mother is quite
wealthy, and lives in Chicago.
This letter explains that the shooting
was nremeditated. It is as louows :

SECOND, PORTLAND, OREGON
My Dear Clohessy: Could any one
overlook the fact that I am mad? I have
done a lot of worrying, and vou can now
see why I am not well and why I do not
sleep ana eat as t usea to. iou khow
we were to be married as soon as Mabel
got her divorce, and you know of our in
timacv for the Dast vear or more. '
found to my sorrow after watching her
that 1 was not the only man in tne case.
Wn had a row once before, but then I
was not as positive as now, and we made
' 1.1 i f T
up. i oil nave provea tne oniy menu x
have ever had. I hope you will never
make such a d 1 of yourself as
I have made of myself. I cannot stand
life any longer, although I have been
airly successful all along. There is
enough money in my pocket to pay for
burial, etc. I am not particular how I
.wn put away. Mabel is the only woman
I really love. I cannot live without her,
and if you knew how I have been treated
of late, you would not blame me.
"It is almost impossible for me to
write; I am so nervous. I realize what
I am about to do perfectly, and I cannot
for the life of me check myself. This
desire to kill her and then myself came
over we a few days ago. I cannot live
any longer. Best wishes. Jack."
Mrs. Calvin was a strikingly hand
some woman. She had a particularly
graceful carriage and a sweet face, but
her most striking mark of beauty was
her clear. healthvcomDlexion. She had
dark eyes and hair, and was of medium
height ana Duxotn ngure. xier uiuier
supplied her with sufficient means to
satisfy every whim, and although she
had an extensive wardrobe of the latest
style garments, they were all of subdued
and modest shades. She spent two
months during the past summer season
at the seaside, and is well remembered
by many who met her there.
Dcmiesl hy the Canard People. '
Livebfool, September 17. The man
agers of the Canard Steamship Company
declare that the statement made Dy tne
nftirH of the American steamer New
York that the Cunard steamer Lncania,
bound east, was seen by the Xew York
fifty miles north of ber proper course is
"absurdly incorrect." The Xew York
beat the record from Southampton by
one hoar and twenty-fonr minutes last
Friday. The same day the Lncania from
Sew York broke the eastward record by
two hoars and nine minutes. The Xew
York log showed that she sighted the
Lncania fifty miles north of the eastward
route and in the line followed by the
west-bound steamers. The routes are
.ru.l nnrm bv the various companies,
and captains are expected to adhere
strictly to the agreement.
YOUNG M'ALLISTER
He is Being Sued for Breach of
Promise by a Widow.
WARD LOOKING UP HER PAST
The Leader of New York's ' Four Bund
red " Will Defend His Son as Much as
Possible There May be Borne Testi
mony That Will Embarrass Her.
New Yobk, September 17. Ward Mc
Allister believes in the old saw that
" forewarned is forearmed," and when
Mrs. McCall brings her suit for breach of
promise against the son of the famous
leader of the 400, there may be some
testimony that will embarrass her. Mc
Allister, Sr., has been gathering evidence
with assiduity that proves that he is good
for something more than a model for
those who wish to be in the swim. He
has learned that Mrs. McCall has rather
an unenviable St. Louis record, and two
well-known men of that city, as well as
a prominent New York newspaper man,
may have to tell what they know of the
woman's past. One of the St. Louisans
In niinfltinn in Colonel John Norton, man
ager of the St. Louis Grand Opera House,
who is one of the best known theatrical
men in tho country.and whose wife eloped
some years ago with Henry Moore, man
aging editor of the Post-Dispatch. Mrs.
McCall played a temporary engagement
in St. Louis not very long ago, which
ended in her chasing the susceptible
Colonel Norton through the streets with
a horsewhip. All this, with much inside
history, Mr. McAllister is saiu to nave
fathered as ammunition in case his son
leyward is called upon to renounce his
celibacy.
SALUTE AT MIDNIGHT.
Why the Attack on Wet Hal Wel Proved
a Failure.
New Yobk, September 17. The fol
lowing remarkable message in the origi
nal has been translated by a Japanese
gentleman in New York. It was sent
by a special Japanese correspondent
serving with the fleet in the uun oi re
Chi Li to the newspaper in Japan which
he represents, and the name of which is
for obviouB reasons withheld. The Jap
anese government, which exercises a
strict censorship over all news relating
to the war, prohibited its pumication.
It is dated " With the Japanese fleet be
fore Wei Hai Wei, Gulf of Pe Chi Li,
August 12:" , ,
"At 11 o'clock vesterdav morning, Au
gust 11, onr fleet, consisting ol twelve
men-oi-war ana a neet oi six turpcuu
boats, took advantage of the darkness of
the night and crept into the harbor at
Wei Hai Wei unknown to the Chinese in
the forts and vessels. Bix torpeao rjoats
moro enr nnt with the nnrDOse of blow
ing up the Chinese warships anchored
within. The fleet was proceeding in the
wrong direction, and then, discovering
their mistake, they turned back, changed
their course and made straight to the
place where the Chinese lay in Bafety.
When midway a British man-of-war,
which was anchored there, fired a salute
for the Japanese vessels, a very unusual
thia all thn plpctric and search lights at
the forts were lighted in an instant, and
soon all the forts were in activity. An
exchange of shots for over an hour fol
lowed, tseeing tnat tue pian w iao mo
nhineae hv RiirDrise had fallen through
on account of the salute from the British,
and further firing being ot no avail, tne
Japanese retired. As the torpedo flotilla
was returning, a Chinese torpedo boat
discharged a torpedo against it, but failed
to do any damage, and for its trouble was
instantly rewarueu uy uemg iuu uj
torpedo discharged from one of the Jap
anese boats. The Balutes from the Brit
ish vessels cannot but be regaraea as a
signal to make the slumbering Chinese
know of the presence of the Japanese,
as it is not customary to fire salutes at
the dead of night."
Paying the Claims.
San Fbancisco, September 17. The
first damages growing out of the colli
sion between the steamers Oceanic and
the City of Chester have been paid by
the Occidental and Oriental Steamship
rnmnnnv tn the families of the victims,
tIia nwirlpnt occurred in 1888 in San
Francisco harbor. Suits were brought
in behalf of the six minor children of
Columbus Davis and of three other chil
dren, whose parents were drowned. The
jury awarded the Davis children $10,000,
and the steamship company appealed
the case. The appeal is sun penaing,
but the company finally decided to pay
the claim in full. The results of the
other suits hinged on the decision in the
Diivia paae. and thev. too. have been set
tled. In all $26,000 has been paid out
bo far by the company.
The Rates Reduced.
Tacoma, September 17. The Execu
tive Committee of the Interstate Fair
has yielded to the public demand and
made a 25-cent rate of admission to the
fair for evenings and Sundays. The reg
ular rate of admission throughout the
day is to remain at 00 cents, but in the
evening and all day Sundays the price
of admission is to be 25 cents. This rate
begins at once. The people and the con
cessionaires have been clamoring for a
lower admission. This trial is made as
an experiment. If the fair does not
continue to pay expenses, the trustees
say the straight 50-cent rate will be re
stored. Many believe the attendance
will be more than proportionately in
creased. Northern Paclfle Bondholders.
New Yoek, September 15. At a meet
ing of the Northern Pacific second-mort-
?age reorganization committee of bond
lolders held to-day Charles B.Wright
of Philadelphia and B. II. Cheney, Jr.,
of Boston were added to the committee.
In view of the large amount of bonds
personally owned by these gentlemen
and the interest they represent in Bos
ton, Philadelphia and elsewhere the
committee now claims to practically con
trol the situation.

Washihgtoh, September 15. The
treasury officials are informed that the
Denmark anarchist, Vorle, a desperate

Francisco was to-day directed to keep a
sharp lookout for him.

THE DEBS CASE.
Witnesses Give Evidence
in
Regard to Violence.
DEBS URGED THE BOYCOTT.
Debs Declared He Would Rather See
the American Railway Union Oo to
Wreck In Bo Righteous a Cause Than
to Drag Along Uselessly,
Chicago, September 15. The govern
ment attorneys in the Debs case to-day
asked that President Debs and the other
defendants be called upon to testify.
The defense objected. Judge Woods al
lowed the matter to pass without ruling.
Joseph Elbers, night clerk at the Leland
Hotel, testified he had delivered numer
ous telegrams to Debs, and the latter
read them in his presence. Walter Rice,
a reporter, who as delegate from a local
union was present at the American Rail
way Union convention, told of scenes
during the consideration of the Pullman
strike. Witness said Debs made a fiery
ipeech, urging the boycott and declaring
he would rather see the American Rail
way Union go to wreck in bo righteous a
cause than to drag along uselessly. How
ard, Rice said, opposed ordering the boy
cott. Most of the afternoon session was con
sumed in examination of witnesses In
regard to the violence committed along
the Atchison and Topeka road. Super
intndnnt Kesseirule of the Chicago divi
sion of the Atchison and Topeka road
testified lie was in the Chicago yards
from June 27 to July 11. He Baid that
the com Dan v had no difficulty with its
employes, and the switchmen had told
him when they went out that the union
had ordered a boycott on Pullman cars,
and as the Atchison and Topeka would
not cut them off, its employes bad gone
out. On cross-examination Air. Gregory
elicited the fact that the company was
thirty or more days behind In the pay to
their men, and that there had been some
complaints in regard to this condition of
affairs. H. R. Bliss, an engineer on the
Atchison and Topeka road, then told
how he was prevailed upon to strike.
He said that a mob had threatened to
fix him. He said :
" For fear they would fix me 1 quit
work when I did not want to."
Fred W. Einsheimer, Secretary oi tne
Pullman Palace Car Company, was
called and identified two contracts, one
between his company and the eastern
IllinoiB road and the other between his
mmmnv and the Atchison and Topeka.
They were the contracts about which
there was so mucn conjecture uunug me
strike.
A mesfliifffi was produced from Mrs.
Leland Stanford to Debs July 2, asking
him to grant permission to tne train
k her private car to San Fran-
clscdflffrS. Becker, telegraph operator,
testified that Debs replied to Mrs. Stan
ford that the trainmen would take her
car through. This was the first evidence
that Debs had personally sent messages
relative to the strike. iur. waiaer an
nounced the government's case was
closed with the exception of the pro
duction of the Pullman contracts.
Tim nnnnael for the defense surprised
the government attorneys by deciding
not to call any witnesses in behalf of
their clients, but to rest their case on the
evidence presented by the government.
These cases will come up for oral argu
ment September 25, and both Bides are
allowed twenty days in which to file
briefs on the legal questions involved.
Judge Woods will probably render a de
cision early in October. Attorney Greg
ory told the court that the counsel for
the defendant preferred to present a
written argument on the case, tie saia :
" We are willing to submit this case
on the evidence the government has put
We might prove a lew ininga py
putting witnesses on the stand, out we
are willing to waive this privilege."
Attorney Walker argued lor an oral
presentation of the defense, and Judge
Woods said he preferred such an argu
ment, as by this means greater light
mioht be thrown on the subject by ques
tions which could be asked the speakers
and that might arise from their remarks,
Attorney Erwin of counsel for the de-
fonaA then anirl t
" We do not desire to have any oral
anriimnnt in Hun case. In its relation
to the great American public this case is
one of the most important that ever
came before a United States Court. It
insnlvea a orent nuestion. and we wish
to place our views on record in cold lead
ed tvne. where it can be Been as often as
necessary. 'Ihis court should consider
well the law regarding tne issuance ui
the injunctions which brought our cli
ents here, and we shall have some viewB
on that point. We ask twenty days in
which to prepare briefs on this subject
and to carefully consider the evidence in
this case, uur nonor, our unrisiian con'
science will appear in this, our argu
menta."
After further discussion the court con
cluded to have the case argued orally
September 25 and to allow briefs to be
anfimitted on 'the lezal phases of the
casein twenty days. Ten days longer
were allowed the counsel lor the Atcin
son and Tnneka road. The Judge said
"If the counsel for defendants feel
compelled to consume so much time, I
shall probably have to use the midnight
hours to prepare mv opinion on this
case, as it will have to be done between
now and October 6, when X begin a long
session oi court."
Attorney Walker stated to the court
that he did not think the government
would submit any argument on the law,
it being quite clear now, as be thought,
to the court.

Biianqiiai, September 15. Rumors
have reached here that a battle was
fought between Chinese and Japanese
near Kalr Cheng, Cores, about Septem
ber 2. Native newspapers of September
10 say the fight lasted two days and was
still undecided when the news was for
warded the native press. Chinese papers
of September 12 announce that General
Yeh, Chinese commander, reports hav
ing gained a victory over the Japanese.
It is supposed here, however, that the
Chinese have met with a reverse at Ping
Yang.
The floods In Cores still prevent the
Chinese troops from crossing thelmchln
river to attack the Japanese intrench
ments. Another report current here says the
Kirino division of the Chinese army has
crossed the Kulin river and is now bold'
ing the city of Suhning while awaiting
the advance of the main body before at
tacking the Japanese right flank. No
reliable news, ft may be added, is ob
tainable here regarding the progress of
the war.
UPRISING AOAINST THE JAPANESE.
London, September 15. A dispatch to
the Times from Shanghai says reports
from Fusan Btate that the whole popula
tion of Southern Corea has risen against
the Japanese. It is feared that the reb
els, many of whom are armed, will at
tack Fusan. Two thousand Japanese
troops have just arrived at that place.
Later news confirms the report, and tells
of the w.eck of a Japanese force of 2,000
men who attempted to marcii iroin i u
Ban to Seoul. A portion of the force was
compelled to return to a treaty port,
only 800 men reaching there. Two thou
sand fresh troops have arrived at rusan
to guard the Japanese settlement against
a feared attack by Tonghaks.
OATHEBINO AT PEI YANG.
Hoato, September 15. Reports are
that the Chinese Admiralty has deter
mined to order to Pei Yang from the
Yang Tse coast all warships of a certain
tonnage and armament. The dispatch
adds that a number of torpedo boats
from the squadron at Foo Chow, Canton
and Nanking will also be ordered to Pei
Yang. The intriguing enemies of the
Viceroy, Li Hung Chang, have reported
to the throne the presence at Tien Tsin
of Chang Pei Lun, the Viceroy's son-in-law,
banished in 1884. The throne has
ordered his return to exile.
DIHOBDEBLY CONDUCT DENIED,
London, September 15. In regard to
the sensational stories circulated by a
news agency Sir Halliday Macartney,
counselor of the Chinese embassy here,
has written a letter saying there is no
foundation whatever for the reports of
disorderly conduct by the Chinese troops
so "wantonly and assiduously circu
lated." He asserts that there never has
been a moment's uneasiness among the
foreigners or the native population on
account of the Viceroy's soldiers.

BANK RECEIVER'S SUIT.
Crookedneaa of a Missouri Institution to
be Brought to Light.
Sidalia, Mo., September 16. W. A
Latimer, receiver of the First National
Bank of this city, filed a suit yesterday
in the United States Circuit Court at
Jefferson City for $358,000 against the
directors of the suspended institution
The petition is of a sensational nature.
and makes public for the first time the
aliased methods of President Cvrus New
kirk and Cashier J. S. Thompson, as well
as those of the directors, in conducting
the business of the bank. Only three of
the directors. E. C. Cassidy, II. W
Wood and John W. McClnre, have prop
erty that can be reached by the suit. J,
S. Thompson, the cashier, is a fugitive
in Mexico, and Cyrus riewkirk, the Pres
ident, is now residing in California. In
a nutshell it is charged that the directors
allowed Newkirk tooverdraw his account
to the amount of $101,000 and permitted
Thompson to gamble away $71,000 in
stocks and real-estate deals, besides al'
lowing insolvent parties without security
to draw l'K),0U0 out of the vaults. The
receiver alleges that the defendants
directors during the whole time between
September 6, 1890, and May 4, 1894, ut
terly failed and neglected to perform
their duties, and failed to hold meetings
of said Board of Directors and look after
the affairs of the bank. They also signed
and attested false reports to the Comp
troller.
Not Bound by the Scale.
Losdon. September 17. The majority
of the miners in South Wales have cast
ballot in favor of giving the mine own'
ers notice that they will be no longer
bound by the sliding scale of wages now
in lore.
FOR THE FARMERS
Selected Matter Worthy of a
Careful Perusal.
SUBSOIL PLOWING RESULTS.
Corn on Subsoil-Plowed Ground Seem to
Possess a Special Element of Strength
That Will Demonstrate the Value of
Subeoll Cultivation.
The following letter, giving the results
of experiments with subsoil-plowing,
was recently received by the Secretary
of Agriculture from Peter Yonngers, Jr.,
of Youngers & Co., Geneva, Neb. :
Having practiced subsoil-plowing ex
tensively on our nursery grounds near
Geneva in growing fruit and ornamental
trees with gratifying results, we con
cluded to experiment with grain and
vegetables.
The ground was prepared by subsoil
plowing in the fall of 1892, and the crop
of 1803 consisted of corn and potatoes.
Corn that year being only a very moder
ate crop in this vicinity (maximum forty
bushels per acre, and the average not
exceeding twenty bushels), we harvested
a crop of seventy-five bushels per acre
from a strip of ground that had been
subsoiled. The potato crop was practi
cally a failure in this vicinity; the re
sult of our experiment was a good crop
-about lzo busneis per acre.
This season (1804) the crop consists of
rye, oats, corn and potatoes. Rye har
vested indicates a yield of thirty-five
bushels per acre, while rye in an adjoin
ing field the same seed, planting and
harvest, but not subsoiled will yield
ten bushels per acre.
Oats on land subsoil-plowed in fall of
1803 will yield forty to forty-five bushels
per acre; oats on land subsoil-plowed in
fall of 1802 will yield thirty to thirty
five bushels per acre; oats on land ad
joining under ordinary cultivation will
vield ten to fifteen bushels tier acre (the
average crop under the adverse condi
tions tnat prevailed), in eacn instance
the seed, soil and planting being the
same.
The superiority of subsoil cultivation
is especially conspicuous in the length of
straw and stand on the ground.
The results of experiments with this
year's corn and potatoes cannot at this
time be determined. With a continua
tion of the present favorable conditions
we will have the largest yield of corn we
have ever had. Even under these favor
able conditions the corn on subsoil
plowed ground seems to possess a special
element of strength that will in all prob-
aDlllty exert lie lIlllUBUCt) ill ucniuuDtrisv-
ing the value of subsoil cultivation.
POULTRY NOTES.
Remember to keep the drinking ves
sels supplied with water. . .
A small stock well cared for will pay
more dollars than a large one neglected.
Market your eggs when fresh and you
will establish a reputation that brings
money.
Don't feed surplus cockerels till they
become "old roosters." It takes corn
and cuts thfprice to do it.
Borne wno supply customers reguiariy
with fresh eggs use a rubber stamp to
mark on each egg the date on which it
was laid.
Gather the eggs dally store in a cool.
dry place, aud find as far as possible pri
vate customers that will take eggs weekly
or oftener.
When shipping poultry long distances
supply the coops with corn and water.
Do not mix a lot of meal and compel the
eating of sour stuff.
The hog has been called the mortgage
raiser. Have you ever tried to see what
a few hens well cared for will do toward
preventing a mortgage?
BRAN VS. WHEAT.
The Results of a Test In Which They
Were. Compared.
In view of the very low price ot wheat
and the probable doubt in which many
farmers find themselves as to whether
to sell or feed their wheat, the results of
test I made last winter in which bran
and wheat were compared may be of
interest.
On February 15 two lots of ewes with
lambs averaging five weeks old were
selected, making the lots as similar as
possible. Each lot contained nine lambs
and their mothers. They were confined
in stalls, given what mixed hay they
would eat, and were watered from pails.
For their grain ration one lot was given
half corn and half bran by weight, the
other half wheat and half corn, The
lambs were fed by themselves twice a
day what they would eat up clean of the
same ration, t ne pran-ieu tot weigueu
at this date 173M pounds and on March
13 220 pounds, a gain of 46M. Those
fed on wheat weighed at the beginning
of the experiment 108)4 and at the close
220, a gain ol t)l6 pounds.
Dropping out of account one from each
lot that made very little gain, owing to
the fact that their momers were very
poor sucklers, those fed on bran made
an average gain of 6 pounds 10 ounces ;
those fed on wheat, an average gain of
7 pounds 9 ounces, bo lar as mis ex
periment goes it shows wheat to be the
cheaper feed at the present relative
prices. cents per Dusnei anu iv ceiiie
rr hundred. Mo trouble arose from
constipation among the wheat-fed lambs,
as was leareu.
Grade the Butter.
Until country storekeepers grade the
butter they buy and pay just what they
can afford to for each separate lot, oleo
margarine will find a place. Some farm
ers' wives make butter that Is just as
fine as ever came from any dairy, ana
hav ahnnld vet the highest price for it.
while other samples are not fit to cook
with and should be condemned. When
butter is bought and paid for according
tn its Quality, country batter will iin-
rove in its average quality.
