Louinl overland iihhojik'T train, due
here at 5:L') yeHtenlay mornlni;, did not
arrive until about 11::(0, and when It
came It hroiiKht m-wa of one of the mot
daKUnily atteinjilii at train-wrnckinK
ever atlein pled in the Wont. Tbia train
alao bore, briilm-d and bleeding, the
hody of George K. Itichardwjn, whose
bravery had aaved the train from the
awful fate that awaited it at point
about midway between Drain and Yon
calla. in Doiiulaa county.
Thuradav niKht, Itichardaon boarded
the southbound freight in the vicinity of
I train, but was ahortly afterward put
off, as the train was not permitted to
carry paHuiK"rf. He then continued
hia journey aouthward, afoot. About 9
o'clock, when crowting a trestle, he dis
covered tiiat a rail had been remove.
and placed diui;utially across the track,
for the evident purpose of derailing the
train. At the sumo time he observed
four or five men Huddeiily approaching
him from the other side of tho trcHtle.
One of them attucked him, bfating and
cutting him severely, inflicting an ugly
wound with Home sharp instrument on
the left tireaHt just below I tin nipple, and
another about eight Inches further down.
Another man atruck him on the head
with a revolver, cutting his bend 0en
on the riirht aide and knocking him
senseless, aud at the same time pushing
him off the bridge, where he lay in the
gulch below for some time before re
covering conHciousneHB.
I.icliardson then crawled out of the
gulch onto the trestle and made hia way
slowly down the track for a considerable
distance, where he met the coming train
at 1 ;20 o'clock yesterday morning. As
soon as he saw the headlight of the ap
proaching train he took his handker
chief from his pocket and striking a
match, lighted the handkerchief, which
he waved as a signal for the engineer to
stop. When the train came to a stand
still the startled trainmen climbed down
and picked up Kichardson who was by
his time in an almost exhausted condi
tion, ami carried him into one of the
coaches, whore a cot was improvised,
and the injured man was made as com
fortable as poHaihle. lie then told the
story of finding the rail removed, and
being beaten by the men.
Whether the objuct of the attempted
wreck was robbery or revenge is only
conjectured. The opinion is advanced
that the alfuir grew out of the recent
trouble of the railroad company with
the laborers in the vicinity of Drain over
the employment by the railroad com
pany of Japanese section hands.
Another report is that there was on
hoard in the strong box of the Wells,
Fargo Express company $50,000 of specie
for a Portland bank,
KIl'IIAHDHON AK11KSTKD FOR Tllg CRIME.
From Douglas county the seen e shifts
to Portland to which place Richardson
was taken and placed in the Good
Samaritan hospital where ho was
shallowed by a detective. The following
account sent from Portland on Monday
tolls the sequel : George E. Kichardson,
who dramatically stopped a Southern
Pacific train near Kice Hill at 12:26
Friday morning and informed the con
ductor that a continuance of the journey
meant death to all, and thnt robbers
were lying in wait for the train, is be
hind prison bars. Helms been shaken
from hia pedestal of honor by the strong
arm of the law, and now occupies a cell
in tho county jail, hold there on a war
rant charging him with having at
tempted to wreck a train. Armed with
tho document. Sheriff George Xoland, of
Lano county, came to town yesterday
afternoon and learning that Richardson
was none tho worse for his "encounter
with trnin-robbers," he had him re
moved from his pleasant room in the
Good Samaritan hospital to ono of
Jailer James' apartmenU.
Sheriff Noland says that he has secured
guflkiont evidence to justify Richard
son's arrest. Just how much he has
obtained and how valuable it will prove
in tho trial he refuses to disclose,
Neither will he toll who secured the
evidence nor whore he got it. It is
surmised that most of all of the evidence
was obtained in Eugene, as the crime
was committed in Douglas county, and
the sheriff of another county would
hardly send deputies there to make an
investigation.
Anothsr Murder and Bulolde.
Chicago, April 1. Miss Effle Clark, of
Spokane, Wash., a member of the fresh
man class of the Northwestern univer
sity, was tonight shot and instantly
killed by E. Ross Smith, aged 20. Un
til recently Smith was also a resident of
Spokane. Smith, after shooting Mins
Cls.rk, shot himself in the head, in
dieting a fatal wound. The cause of the
murder was the refusal of the young
lady to entertain Smith's proposal of
marriage. Smith had been an ardent
suitor for the hand of Miss Clark, but
his attentions were repulsed by her
parents and herself. He was so per
sistent that, In a final effort to escape
his attentions, Miss Clark, who was 10
years old, was sent to the Northwestern
university. Shortly after her arrival In
Evanston, Smith put in an appearance
and bad been tireless in Ins attempt to
win the young woman for his wife.
This evening he called upon Miss Clark
and persuaded her to take a walk with
him. She was accompanied by her
roommate, Miss Abernathy, who was
the only witness to the tragedy. Smith
urged his suit stain, but without success,
and tried to get the young lady away
from her companion. She refused to
go till Smith said he had something to
tell her in confidence. ' They stepped off
a short distance, and Smith at once
drew revolver and fired five shots at
her. One entered hr left ear and an
other passed through her side. Smith
then turned the weapon against himself
and sent a bullet through his head.
Miss Clark was removed to a neighbor
ing bouse, but expired in a few minutes.
Smith was taken to the police station,
where before lapsing into unconscious
ness, be said :
"I shot her. She wouldn't marry me,
so I shot her."
The father of the young man referred
to in the above dispatch is Benjamin F.
Smith, a resident of Sellwood and a
memlr of the ship-building firm of
Paipiet A Smith.
A few hours after committing the
dreadful deed young Smith died with
out having rendered any further expla
nation. The bodies of both were or
dered embalmed and sent home,

One of the Most Certain Agfiits for Caus
ing Death by Mow Poisoning.
, iXew York Sun.
Of tbe number ot those seeking sui
cide by following some form of poison,
probably there are a few who have
sought lo kill themselves by means of
ammonia. Nevertheless ammonia, al
though it is the active agent in most of
the salts sold to women for their gill
decorated and perfumed scent bottles, is
poisonous when taken internally in a
concentrated form. To attest this there
have been recently in New York several
cases, the most recent being that of Her
man Harowitz, of which Deputy Coro
ner Jenkins said that death took place
in a comparatively short time after the
ammonia was taken. In another case,
that of a child, Dr. Jenkins said that re
sulted in five minutes alter swallowing
the ammonia solution.
There are on record cases of slow poi
soning from ammonia administered with
intent to commit murder. Furthermore
the appearance of workmen in guano
factories, where ammonia is set free by
grinding guano, has been noted, and in
every case there is an unmistakable
symptom of poisoning. This is discolor
ation of the skin of the face, which as
sumes a blotched, dirty appearance,
First to take on this appearance is the
skin of the nose and forehead. Autop
sies of those who die from ammonia
poisoning reveal a dark hue on the mu
cous membrane lining on the stomach
and intestines.
As an agent for causing death by slow
poisoning, ammonia is one of the most
certain and most difficult of detection,
owing to its volatile nature. This qual
ity has led physicians to believe that
some of the mysterious deaths that have
taken place in the history of modern
and mediieval crime are due to ammonia.
It is known now that months have
elapsed between the first symptoms of
sickness and the death of a person from
the time a large draught of ammonia,
has been swallowed. It has been found
in cases of gradual absorption of am
monia in human system that there is a
general elimination ot healthy oxida
tion of the blood and a consequent low
ering of the bodily strength. In the
cases of immediate poisoning death
comes with frightful agony, as in the
case of Harawitz. Blood gushed from
his nose and mouth.
Statistics in England put ammonia
thirteenth in frequency in the list of poi
sons. Alexander Winter Blyth, medical
officer of health in the St. Marylebone
district, London, cites thirty cases of
poisoning by ammonia sw allowed for the
purpose of committing suicide, or ad
ministered with the purpose of commit
ting murder, ob absorbed cnconsci
oi'slv in food. Of the suicidal cases
six were fatal. Of cases of murder with
ammonia, Dr. Blyth notes two, both of
them children.
A iong Trip on Bnow 8bn,
Seattle, April 1. One of the most re
markablejonrneys ever undertaken was
recently brought to a successful close by
C. H. Hamilton, of Chicago, 22 years of
age, who arrived here tonight from
Alaska. lie traversed 1600 miles on
shoe op the Yukon river in Alaska ami
over the divide to Cbilkoot, In the dead
ol winter, being the first white man who
has ever crossed these mountains at that
season and lived. He is an employe
of the Yukon River Transportation &
Tiading Company, and left Seattle last
July on tbe initial trip of that company's
expedition. At St. Michaels, near the
mouth of the Yukon, the expedition
built a steamboat and started op tbe
river with 300 tons of provisions and
supplies, the mechanics and a few others
returning to Seattle on the revenue cut
ter Bear, After steaming two weeks op
the river, ice stopped further progress,
an j the boat was tied op for the winter.
As it was necessary to get word to civili
zation that the boat was frozen in, Ham
ilton volunteered to make the journey
of 1800 miles, and started November
20 with three sledges, 21 dogs and some
Indian guides. ; Although the ther
mometer was 50 degrees below zero he
suffered no inconvenience until near the
journey's end, when his provisions gave
out and be had to kill several of his ex
hausted dogs. He arrived at Chilkoot,
80 miles above Juneau, March 20, hav
ing reduced tbe distance of 1800 miles by
one-sixth by short cuts hitherto never
traversed.
E.lping tha Chiton Oat la.
Seattle, Wash., April 1. Customs
Inseftor Todd, of Vancouver, B. C,
who arrived here tonight says that the
Haytlan Republic had been carrying
Urge numbers of Chinese coolies to Port
land from Vancouver on every trip, and
that but a small proportion have been
sent back until tbe last trip, when the
thirty-seven were deported. He says
these Chinese all have certificates which
are procured from Portland and Salem,
and that notaries and lawyers in the
two towns are in the business of furnish
ing them. The Chinamen send their
photographs, which are attached to the
bogus certificates for which they pay I'iO:
the Haytian Republic charges them 50
fare and then they have to pay an
agent $10 to see that they get in all right.

Washington, April 5. Senator Do'.ph
today introduced Dan Murphy aud John

Myers can be appointed marshal, tor tbe
faet that he has held that office consti

McKee have agreed upon candidates for
most of the places in Oregon. Roby is
expected here in a few days, and will

Our Old Fire Company.
"That was a gay old company that we
belonged to, Joe, away back in '68.
when you and I 'ran with the machine.'
Do you remember that big fire in Hotel
Row, one freezing night, when fifteen
people were pulled out of their burning
rooms and came down the ladder in their
night-clothes; and how 'Dick' Greene
brought down two 'kids' at once one in
his arms, the other slung to his back?
Poor 'Dick' I He got the catarrh dread
fully, from so much exposure, and suf- -
fered from it five years or more. We
thought once he was going in consump
tion, sure. But, finally, he heard of Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and tried it, and
it cured him np as sound as a fliiu. I
tell you, Joe, that catarrh remedy is a.
great thing. It saved as good a man as.
ever trod shoe leather.
