double murder vat committed last
night in the Monteoito valley, the vio
timi being Mrs. H. C. Riobardon, aged
66, and ber 1 7-year-old daughter Ethel.
A workman discovered the body of
the daughter in a vacant field near the
Richardson bouse, and ber throat bad
been out and there were several wounds
on ber bead. Near the body was a
club, wbiob had evidently been broken
in tbe bands of tbe murderer. The

The suspicions that the offioera first
entertained, throwing the hlame on j

dispelled by the startling developments

Hopkins saw Barnard on bis way

he called to him, asking bim to go to

but finally agreed, telling the officer to

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
I Report of What They Have Done
Dur-
Ing the Laat Sis Mentha.
j Salem, Or., July 8 The board of
i railroad commissioners was in session
at the capitol today. A new freight
- and passenger schedule for the seashore
j railroad is being considered. Now that
trains are being run, freight handled
and passengers carried from Astoria to
! the seaside, instead of from Young's
Bay bridge, as before, it is necessary to
make some obanges.
.Since its last meeting, the board has
made its semi-annual inspeotion of the
roadbed, trestles, bridges and equip
ments of the Oregon Central & Eastern
Railroad Company. The commission
found that a great deal of work bd
been dene since the last inspection.
The bridges and trestles east of Albany
are in fair oonditiou, and new ties are
being put down rapidly. The bridges
and trestles from Albany to Yaquina
have been overhauled and strengthened,
and a number renewed entire. New
ties have taken the place of old ones,
and many more are distributed along
the line of the road ready to be put in.
A force of bridge and traokmen was
found at work. The road is in very
fair condition for tbe summer travel.
During the last week of June, an
official inspection was made of the
Coos Bay, Roseburg& Eastern railroad.
This road extends from Marsh field to
Myrtle Point, having a branch to
Beaver Hill, a town of 600 inhabitants,
where are the Beaver Hill ooal mines.
The railroad is about 32 miles in
length, and has been built about three
years,
It is well constructed, and the
track is of 68-pound steel.
a ue uriugHs j
are uniform standard, well built and
substantial. Tbe motive power and
equipment are sufficient for the traffic
demand, and are kept in good condi
tion. Tbe road was found to be in
very fair condition throughout. When
the road is extended to Roseburg, 63
miles from Myrtle Point, the present
eastern terminus, it will give rail con
nection to a thrifty Bection of a now
comparatively isolated country.

Tbe steamship Mariposa arrived from
Honolulu and Australia, and wai

Washington, July 6. Dr. Wyman,
of the marine hospital servioe, in com- j
mentiug on the action of the San Fran-
oisco board of health in protesting i
against the action of tbe government j
in establishing a quarantine plant on ;
Angel island, in San Franoisoo bay,
and in exercising authority in quaran-;
tine matters at that point, said that j
tbe pliiut was established and tbe neo- j
essary jurisdiction given by special act
of cougross, and that, until tbe act was
repealed, it would be enforced. Hith
erto the quarantine regulations in force
at that port, he Baid, had been inade
quate and the facilities for disinfeot-:
ing bagwge, etc, were of no practioal !
use. The government had erected a
plant with two largo steam disinfeot
ors, with rooms for the use of detained ;
passengers, etc., and a boarding steam
er bad been put in commission, and be
had no doubt that good results would i
be obtained. Dr. Wyman was at a
loss to know upon what ground the ao-
; tion of the board could be justified, but
expressed the wish and hope that all
I-,' , , , , , x . -
j differences would be amicably settled.
,1 THE PITTSTON ACCIDENT.
Governor Hnatlngs Want the Cause of
the Illaaater Inveatlgated.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 6. The men
at work in tbe Twin-shaft mine at
Pittston made fair progress today, ao
cording to tbe official report. Mr.
Fuller, sooretary of the Newton Coal
j Company, produced a map of the mine
and shewed wnat had been done, a dis
canoe of about 800 feet down the slope,
or about 700 feet from tbe foot of the
slope, having been unoovered. Secre
tary Fuller said tbat tbe report of tbe
pillars ot the mine all being worked
ont, leaving no support for the roof,
is untrue.
Another mass meeting was held in
Musio ball tonight. Additional sub
scriptions to the amount of $1,200 were
received.
' Governor Hastings has written to the
state mine inspectors, suggesting that
they meet at the Twin-haft mine to
investigate the cause of tbe recent dis
aster. The inspectors are asked to re
port in writing to the governor what
in their opinion was the cause of tbe
aooident, whether any precaution was
ommitted which would have tended to
prevent it, and what legislation would
in their judgment secure the miners of
tbe state immunity from risks of this
olass.
FISHERMEN STRIKE.
The Cennerymen Send Down to Victoria
for Police Protection.
Viotoria, B. C, July 6. Tbe differ
ences which for the past few months
have existed between the northern can

fishermen who are employed in the five
canneries at Rivers inlet The news
was brought tonight by the steamer
Chieftain, Captain Foster, which
brought dispatches to Victoria from tbe
managers of the canneries, asking fur
police protection, the strikers having
assumed a threatening attitude, in
timidating many cf tbe Indians who
were desirous of fishing at the old
rate. The Chieftain called at the
Union wharf on the way down, and

PORTLAND MARKETS.
Theie is nothing new to report in Vb

FRANK MAYO.
Bia Career aa an Actor Waa Moat
Bucceagful One.
The drama lost one of Its most able
and distinguished exponents by the
death of Frank Mayo, on a train en
jroute from Denver to Omaha, Neb., re
cently. Mr. Mayo was one of the best
,known and most popular of American
actors. He will be most widely and
most pleasantly remembered In th
character of Davy Crockett in the play
;of that name, which had a run of many;
years. The past two seasons he bas
been acting tbe part of Pudd'nhead
Wilson In tbe dramatization of Mark
Twain's story. He was born In Boa
ton In 1830. He began his theatrical
career as a "super" at the American
Theater In San Francisco, where be
had gone with his parents In 1850. He
continued to follow the stage for sev
eral years In parts of Increasing Impor
tance until In 18C") he came east He
then went on a starring tour which
proved very successful. Ills repertoire
Included all tbe standard Shakspear
Ian dramas, as well as Vlrglnlus, Rich
elieu, The Robbers, The Three Guards
men, The Marble Heart, Damon and
Tythlas, Jack Cade and The Streets
of New York. In 1872 be first pro
duced Davy Crockett In Rochester. Int
1870 he took It to New England. Ho
appeared In It altogether more than
2,000 times. Philadelphia was bis
home.
Invented by Women.
Cella Thaxter, the poetess, had not
an exalted opinion of the capacities of
her sex.
She once said: "Womon never Invent
ed knitting nor any other art." Yet It
la an undisputed fact that the first but
ton establishment was due to a woman,
Tbe machine for making satchel bot
tomed paper bags was tbe Invention of '
a woman, men having tried long and!
unsuccessfully to produce such an ar
ticle. A foundry owner declares that the
first stove he ever saw was Invented
by a woman, though tbe patent was
taken out by a man, and tbe original
Declaration of Independence was
printed by one Katberlne Goddard.

Failure of France's May Crop.
France's hay crop being a failure, M.
Mellne, the Premier, has ordered pro
fessors of agriculture throughout the
country to suspend their lectures and
i proceed to the rural districts, where
they will try to persuade the farmers
to sow vetches, corn, and other fodder
to make up for the bay, and to make
use of oil cake, straw, bran, and corn.
