compel the admission to the polls of
Brown inspectors, but that Toney refused
.., ovA o -few minutes, and at once
signed the order of injunction; that he
had voted, but his vote was not counted

majority, was thrown out. He knew of
no one personally who had been kept
from voting by soldiers.

The election of J. C. S. Blackburn as

account of a question among lawyers as

Captain Murphy, who did the snooting,
was one of the most prominent business
men of the city for a number of years
but recently he had been in ill-health and
he had suffered two strokes of paralysis.
It is believed he was temporarily Insane
when the shooting was done, as he and
Schutze had long been the closest friends,
having been associated with each other
in the business affairs of the bank.
The evidence before the coroner's jury
this afternoon shows that Murphy placed
the pistol close to the temple of Mr.
Rrhntr.A and fired. He then placed the
pistol In his own mouth and fired, both
balls penetrating the brain. Captain Mur
phy was found lying by the side of the
wall, several feet from his private desk.
The blood was streaming from his mouth
and he was dead. Schutze was sitting in
the chair he occupied when the shot was
fired. His head was lying far back, and
from a frightful hole in his right temple
the blood was running to the floor.
THE MOLINEUX TRIAL.
Testimony Relating: to Barnet "Was
Ruled Out.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16. In the trial o
Roland B. Molineux, the prosecution to
day continued its efforts to show a mo
tive for the poisoning of Henry C. Bar
net by Molineux. Recorder Goff threw
out the evidence, declaring that the Bar
net case had nothing to do with the pres
ent trial.
Andre Bustanoby, superintendent of the
Knickerbocker Athletic Club, said that
Molineux had ordered the goods men
tioned in certain bills sent to "Miss
Blanche Chesebrough," at 251 "West Seventy-fifth
street. One of the bills called
for whisky. It was at this house that
Molineux Is alleged to have lived with
Miss Chesebrough before they were
married.
Minnie Befcts, the servant in Mrs. Bel
linger's house, 257 "West End avenue, who
testified yesterday, was then recalled. It
was at this house that Blanche Chese
brough lived after she had left the house
on "West Seventy-fifth street, and the
prosecution was endeavoring to prove that
Barnet visited her in ner new nome, xuus
arousing Molineux' jealousy and hatred.
The recorder, however, ruled out the tes
timony, saying:
"The court entirely disregards the con
tention that the showing of a motive in
the Barnet case shows a motive In tne
Cornish case, and I Instruct the jury to
disregard the testimony on that point."
The prosecution went back to the Ad
ams case, calling Joseph J. Koch, pro
prietor of a private letter-box agency on
Broadway, who positively identified Mol
ineux as the man who Inquired about a
letter box, December 12, 1898. Later a box
was hired by a man who gave the name
of H. Cornish, but who, witness declared
positively, was not Harry Cornish. The
prosecution 'seeks "to prove that the lessee
of the box was Molineux, and that he
used it for obtaining patent medicines
from manufacturers.

abreast of Victoria dock, and then put
her wheel hard over, and threw her bow
out in the stream. The Hassalo mean
while was backing full stroke, but she
had given too great an impetus to the
big Magdalene with her 4800 tons of car--go,
and as soon as the current caught
the ship she was carried across the river
at terrific speed.
The German ship Margretha, which has
just finished discharging a cargo at Co
lumbia No. 1, was lying alongside tne
dock, with ballast logs breasting her out
a few feet from the piles. Had she been
lying against the solid dock, or had there
been any cargo aboard to steady her or
keep her down in the water, she would
now be lying at the bottom of the river.
As it was, the Magdalene struck her fair
on, causing her to careen until her yard
struck the roof of the dock. This grad
ual escape, eased the force of the blow,
and checked the headway of her mam
moth assailant, but not sufficiently to pre
vent the bow of the Magdalene cutting
through her bulwarks and plates, from
the top of the rail down below the main
deck. Below the deck, beams and string
erswere broken, as though they were
made of paper. The full extent of the
damage had not been reduced to figures
yesterday, but as 50 feet of bulwarks and
two plates must be renewed in addition
to the broken beams and stringers, the to
tal cost of repairs is expected "to aggre
gate from J6000 to $8000.
The Magdalene drew out of the mus3
with the loss of a figurehead, and with
some of her headgear carried away Ap
parently not satisfied with the damage
she had already wrought, she drifted
down and got foul of the Alblna ferry
cable, and after about an hour of back
ing and filling, cleared herself, and
dropped anchor in the stream. An Inves
tigation will probably be called for to
fix the blame for the disaster.
' THE NEW HYSON.
China Mutual's Latest Ship Is One of
the Finest Afloat.
But few steamships which have visited
Portland ever attracted more attention
than the China Mutual Steam Navigation
Company's Hyson. This was the first of
the big steamers to load wheat at Port
land, and so successful was her trip to
Portland that her owners sent many, ves
sels here afterward. The Hyson came
here in command of Captain John Hogg,
senior commander in the line, and on his
arrival in England he was detailed to su
perintend the construction of two new
steamers for the company. These ves
sels were the Ping Suey and the Yangtse,
both 9000-ton steamers, but built under
Captain Hogg's instructions on models
which will admit of their loading here
as easily as did the other steamers of
the line. Before these big steamers were
completed, the Hyson, which visited Port
land, was sold at a big figure, and the
company at once commenced work on
another steamer to take her place and
bear her name. This steamer has just
been completed, and Is now en route from
Liverpool to Japan, in command of Cap
tain John Hogg. According to the Liver
pool Journal of Commerce, she Is one of
the finest cargo steamers that has ever
left the port. She is 465 feet over all, 53
feet beam and 34 feet depth of hold, her
net register being 4232 tons, and dead
weight carrying capacity 9200 tons, gross
measured capacity 13,416 tons.
The Hyson is propelled by a single
screw, worked by a pair of ordinary In
verted triple expansion direct-acting en
gines. The cylinders measure 2$ 49 and
78 Inches diameter, respectively, having a
piston stroke of 60 inches, and working
at a pressure of ISO pounds per square
inch. A speed of 13.37 knots was made
on the official trials on the Clyde. The
auxiliary engines comprise patent feed
pumps, feed heaters, and feed 'filters;
evaporators, condensing apparatus, and
ballast and circulating pumps, and fan
engine, the boilers being provided with
forced draught on the open stokehold
principle. The engines are lubricated by
patent lubricators. The funnel is a double
one, the space between the Inner and
outer stacks serving to extract the hot
air and gases from below. A means of
escape from the shaft tunnel Is provided
by a 22-Inch ventilator right aft commu
nicating with the poop deck, and fitted
with bar steps. Water ballast Is carried
In the cellular double bottom, which takes
1607 tons, Including two side tanks under
the boiler space for trimming purposes.
The peaks are also fitted for vater bal
last. A deep tank capable of holding 9S5
tons of water is situate In No. 5 hold.
The bunkering capacity is 89,010 cubic feet,
the side bunkers accommodating 704 tone
and the cross hold 1011 tons of coal.
but was unable to render her any aid,'
whereupon, It is alleged, the Thompson
brought news of her condition to Neah
bay. The tug Tyee, belonging to the com
plainant, was at that time bound out,
with the bark Abble Palmer in tow, but, it
Is claimed, dropped her tow ana at once
went to the assistance of the Elm Branch.
The libel, alleges that upon the arrival
of the Tyee on the scene the Elm Branch
at first declined her assistance, on the
ground that the steamship Washtenaw
would aid her. The hawser connecting
the Washtenaw and the Elm Branch
broke, however, and then It Is alleged that
the Elm Branch asked the Tyee to assist
her. It Is alleged that the Tyee brought
her safely into Port Townsend.
The tugboat company alleges that the
Elm Branch's owners have refused to al
low reasonable salvage for the assistance
rendered, and that J50.000 is a reasonable
amount to be awarded.
THE MYSTERIOUS WRECK.
Belief That It May Have Been the
Helgoland.
BOSTON, Jan. 16. The Chamber of
Commerce this afternoon issued a bullet
in, saying that part of a ship's boat
marked Helgoland has been picked up
off Cape Pine, N. F., which leads to the
hpHef that the steamer wrecked at St.
Mary's bay on Thursday last Is the Ger
man tank steamer Helgoland, Captain
von Bittern, which sailed from Philadel
phia, January 5, for Bergen, Norway.
The Helgoland was built at .Newcastle,
England, in 1890, and registers 1563 tons.
She was owned by the Xleutsche-American
Petroleum Company.
Proof Not Convincing.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16. The agents
of the tank steamer Helgoland say that
the fact that a portion of a ship's boat
marked Helgoland was picked up off
Cape Pine, N. F., is not convincing proof
thnt thft shin wrecked last Thurs
day is really the Helgoland. The wrecked
steamship Is described as having two
masts and her funnel amidships, whereas
the Helgoland carries three masts and
her funnel Is aft. The Helgoland has a
cargo of 1,100,000 gallons of refined pe
troleum, valued at $75,000. Her crew, all
told, consists of 35 men, all of whom are

A BATTLE "IN THE CLOUDS.
The Engagement With Filipinos In
Which Pilar Was Killed.
MANILA, Dec. 12, via San Francisco,
Jan. 16. The Associated Press correspon
dent with March's battalion, pursuing
Agulnaldo through the mountains which
Spanish soldiers and writers have said
were Impassable to white men, sends from
Bontoc the following account of the fight
of December 2, wherein General Gregorlo
pilar was killed:
"The entire march of March's battalion
of the Thirty-third Infantry from Candon
to Cervantes has been a remarkable ex
ploit. With four depleted companies of
Cunningham's handful of scouts, the com
mand left Young's headquarters at Can
don on the afternoon of November SO,
March having received information on
his iourney up the coast which led to
the belief that Agulnaldo had left the
coast road at Candon for the mountains
instead of going further north, as had
been supposed. Thi3 information was
confirmed by General Young, who re
mained at Candon with one troop of the
Third cavalry, sent two other troops to
occupy Santiago and then ordered March's
battalion Into the mountains after
Agulnaldo. The men had only 140 rounds
of ammunition, no rations and had to live
on the country.
"The four companies were commanded
by Captains Jenklnson and Davles and
Lieutenants Tompkins and White. After
two days' hard climbing, the command
reached a point two miles beyond the
village of Llngal, where the fight oc
curred. There was a snake-like trail
leading up the precipitous mountain side,
and half way up the insurgents had con
structed trenches, from which they could
pour a deadly fire down on the troops
advancing along the lower reaches of the
trail or In the valley below. Cunning
ham's scouts, with Davles' company,
were in the advance, and were fired upon
first. Jenkinson's Company went to their
support, and after the exchange' of a few
shots, these troops waited in the shelter
of a hill.
"The enemy continued their fire, and
Jenklnson ordered a charge around a
bend in the trail. Captain Cunningham
and Lieutenant McClelland led the charge,
and as the men rushed around the bend
they came Into full view of the insurgents
200 yards above, who opened a well di
rected fire from trenches and from behind
rocks and trees. Half a dozen of Jen
kinson's men fell killed or wounded with
in a few feet of each other, some hit
In several places. Their comrades dragged
them behind shelter, and March with the
remainder of the battalion coming up, the
troops sought what shelter they could,
while March sent 12 sharpshooters to the
top of a knoll on the opposite side of the
valley, overlooking the trenches. These
men made the ascent ot tne Knon unaer
heavy fire, but when they reached the top
their well-directed shots soon had the ef
fect of making the Insurgents careful not
to expose themselves.
"March then directed Tompkins to exe
cute a flank movement with his company
by climbing the side of a hill a thousand
feet high on the Insurgents' left. Tomp
kins, with Lieutenant True and 50 men,
made the ascent of the hill by dragging
themselves up with the aid of bushes and
bunches of grass, -and reaching the rocks
above, found several insurgents there,
who fired on them, but were soon put
to flight. Tompkins then took a position
overlooking the entire rebel force, and
took them completely by surprise, as
they evidently never supposed that the
Americans could climb an almost verti
cal hill and flank them out of their posi
tion. The company on the hill and the
sharpshooters on the knoll poured In a
murderous fire, and at the same time
March, with three companies below,
charged up the hill shooting and yelling.
The insurgents broke from behind the
rocks and trenches and every other posi
tion and fled up the trail and into the
thick underbrush, and the fight was over.
"Their force was not large, probably
not over 200, but only 25 passed in retreat
over the trail through Auguagul to Cer
vantes. The remainder were killed or
wounded or escaped into the brush.
Pilar's body was found In the road, where
his men had been compelled to abandon
it. The bodies of six others, including
a lieutenant, were found, but this was
only a small proportion of their loss, for a
number were seen to fall from the rocks
and mountain side into an Inaccessible
abyss below, and bloody trails led In ev
ery direction, showing where the dead
and wounded had been carried into the
brush. The American loss was two killed
and nine wounded.
"Part of the battle was fought in the
cloUds, as a heavy mist settled over the
mountains, concealing the trail. The two
American dead were burled where " they
fell, and the remainder of the column
moved on In search of the hiding place
of the Filipino refugee president."

A Lost Principle of Architecture.
The Fortnightly Review.
If the visitor to Athens places his hat or
other small object at tne corner ot one of
the steps of the Partnenon and tries to
sight it from the other end, he will find it
has sunk beneath the delicate curve In the
middle, which the designers saw would ap
pear pleasanter and softer to the eye than
if each step were shaped to a line or ruler
llke stralghtness from beginning to end.
All parts of the great buildings the floors,
architrave, and even the layers of stone
that constitute the main walls have been
shown to conform to a like principle, and
some portions to be curved both In a ver
tical and in a horizontal manner. Import
ant as was this discovery, it does not stand
alone. Mr. Ruskin has found that delib
erate divergencies of a somewhat similar
kind exist in the old Gothic buildings of
"Venice, and he considers that they were
introduced so as to avoid a too obvious
precision, as does nature, even In her most
symmetrical creations the two slde3 of
the human face, for example. "Unfortu
nately, Mr. Ruskin wrote In Ignorance of
Mr. Penrose's precise measurements and
surveys, and only uses the facts, he other
wise marshals so well, to show that Gothic
architecture, being alone susceptible of
such refinements, Is superior to classical
architecture. He seems to be In no way
aware that such principles could be and
were applied to classical buildings long be
fore pointed architecture was heard of.
though they are now applied to neither of
these, nor to any other.Mr. Penrose being
as was intended by his employers more ot
a scientist and a mathematician than a
poet or a theorist, wanders no further Into
the tempting labyrinths or theory than to
suggest that these "irregularities" were
"perhaps" introduced because the design
ers fancied a curved line would look more
straight at a distance than would a really
straight one. As the straight lines In our
English buildings look quite straight. It
seems hard to suppose that the old Greek
artists formed for themselves so strange
an illusion.

In n Restaurnnt.
A physician puts the query: Havo you
never noticed in any large restaurant at
lunch or dinner time the large number of
hearty, vigorous old men at the tables;
men whose ages run from 60 to SO years;
many of them bald and all perhaps gray,
but none of them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common as
to have escaped your observation or com
ment, but nevertheless It Is an object les
son, which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe.
that they are not munching bran crackers
nor gingerly picking their way through a
menu card of new f angled health foods;
on the contrary they seem to prefer a
juicy roast of beef, a properly turned loin
of mutton, and even the deadly broiled
lobster Is not altogether Ignored.
The point of all this is 'that a vigorous
old age depends upon good digestion and
plenty of wholesome food and not upon
dieting- and an endeavor to live upon
bran crackers.
There Is a certain class of food cranks
who seem to believe that meat, coffee arfd
many other good things are rank poisons,
but these cadaverous, sickly-looking In
dividuals are a walking condemnation of
their own theories.
Tho matter In a nutshell Is that If the
stomach secretes the natural 'digestive ,
juices in sufficient quantity any wholesome
food will bo promptly digested; If the
stomach does not do so, and certain foods
cause distress one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal will
remove all difficulty because they supply
just what every weak stomach lacks, pep
sin, hydro-chloric acid, dlatase and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels, and In fact are not
strictly a medicine, as they act almost
entirely upon the .food eaten, digesting- It
thoroughly and thus gives a much needed
rest and giving an appetite for the next
meal.
Of people who travel nine out of ten use
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets knowing- them
to be perfectly safe to use at any time
and also having found out by experience
that they are a safeguard against Indi
gestion In any form, and eating- as they,
have to, at all hours and all kinds of
food, the traveling public for years have
pinned their faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 50 cents for
full-sized packages, and any druggist,
from Maine to California, if his opinion
were asked, will say that Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets is the most popular and
successful remedy for any stomach
trouble.
