ROASTED TO DEATH
Engine Wiper Burned in His
Clothes.
GREASY GARMENTS TOOK FIRE
Fearful Fntc of Ammon Zahner in
the Car Barn at St. Jolina
Station.
Ammon Zahner, aged 21, was burned to
death at St. Johns yesterday morning.
He has been employed as wiper In the
roundhouse of the City &. Suburban Rail
way, and his clothing caught Ore wHile
he -was in a pit under one of the motors,
according: to the Indications. His body
was found burned to a crisp by Conductor
Monahan, -who reached the scene at 6
o'clock, the accident having: occurred
about an hour before.
Zahner's clothing: was necessarily
smeared with oil and was, therefore, very
Inflammable, and the theory of those con
versant with the case is that his Jumper
caught fire while he was In the pit, and
In a moment the young man was In a
blaze. He sprang to the floor above and
endeavored to reach some water near by,
tearing his jumper off his body as he
did so. He stumbled and fell within a
fe- feet, however, and was unable to
rise. Every particle of clothing was
burned off his body, and Zahner hlmselt
burned beyond recognition.
The remains were brought to the
morgue and an inquest held yesterday
afternoon, at which a verdict of acci
dental death was rendered.
Deceased was a native of Indiana, and
resided In St. Johns for the past four
years with Ills brother-in-law, J. H.
Duffy, who manages a match factory
there. He was known to be quiet and
steady, but has been subject to fits of
epilepsy until recently. He. however, was
not suffering from this complaint on this
occasion, as he would not have been able
to struggle for his life In the manner he
did. The remains will be taken to Eugene
today for Interment, according to Instruc
tions from his father, David Zahner, who
lives at that point.

PORTDAJJD. Nov. 2L (To the Editor.)
If you have room, permit me to say In
The Oregonlan that It seems to me the
remark reported made by Bishop Cranston
in reply to Dr. King's criticism of the
pronunciation of "Philippine" was playful
in character on the part of the bishop, as
Dr. King is known up and down Method
ism as a defender of the republic against
Romanism. The applause would then be
occasioned by an apt reply. Things In
the committee are often free and easy,
and need not be given to the press. I may
mistake in this supposition, but I do
know that "Webster says neither Phillp
pyne nor Phllippeen. but "fll-lp-ln." the
accent on first syllable, and short In the
last. R. J. HOADLET.
Death of Mrs. H. D. Chamberlain.
Mrs. H. D. Chamberlain died at her
home, E97 East Grant street, Wednesday
night, of typhoid fever. The -family
formerly lived in Lane County, and made
Its home in Portland for the past three
years. The deceased was 37 years of
age. The funeral will take place today
from the residence, and Lone Fir ceme
tery wlirbe the place of interment.
What Vlllard Did.
New York Sun.
The death of Henry Vlllard removes
from the scene the last of the conspic
uous and Interesting figures Identified
with the great transcontinental railroads.
The creative minds of all these colossal
enterprises have passed away, but the
vast properties that they called Into be
ing remain, and even at the moment chal
lenge the records of the world for their
magnitude and the extent of their pros
perity. "Vlllard was a great genius, a
born financier and a striking example of
what has been possible In this country to
the conjunction of natural aptitude with
fruitful opportunity. In his earlier days
these opportunities were fewer than they
are now, and the men who successfully
seized upon them became correspondingly
more conspicuous. Today they divide pub
lic attention. But In his time "Vlllard
ploughed a furrow broad and deep, over
came great obstacles, stumbled and
plunged headlong In disaster, recovered
and went ahead again, undaunted. Noth
ing could quell that stubborn spirit, noth
ing repress or restrict that Indefatigable
soul.
James Burns, a switchman, whose left
leg and arm were crushed in the railroad
yards at Huntington Saturday evening,
died from his Injuries.

Our small announcement in Wednes
day's Telegram of a special opportunity
to secure an overcoat at a five-dollar sav
ing has spread over town like wild fire.
The first man that came and took away
A $15.00 OVERCOAT FOR
$10
was so well pleased that he spread the
good news among his friends, and they
in turn each sent their friends, and so
the buying hae continued.
It's unusual just at this season to be
able to get such values. These came to
us direct from the manufacturer very unexpectedly and we gave the
chance to you just as we got it.
Men's new and stylish Oxford Overcoats elegantly made up, fancy
inside back, satin-lined sleeves, satin-piped seams, velvet collar, silk sew
ing throughout. A high-grade garment made up by one of the best
overcoat makers to sell at $15. We bought the lot so as to be able, to
price them to you at $10.
Any man who has an overcoat need and misses this chance might
as well light his cigar with a five-dollar bill and call it economy. The
chance lasts as long as we have any coats left; but you better come today.

South American Peace.
South American diplomatic representa
tives In Washington foresee In the ex
change of visits between the Presidents
o Brazil and Argentina the dawn of a
period of amity in Latin America. They
assume that these two great powers are
approaching a mutual ground on which
they can serve as arbiters and the con
servators of peace among kindred commu
nities which have been disturbed from
time to time by bickering and quarrels.
In a word, such an understanding will
be of great moment not only to the repub
lics directly concerned, but also to tho
nations beyond seas which have commer
cial Intercourse with. them. Petty dis
putes exercise an influence outside the
limitations of the countries Involved, and
states which have dealings with them
are more or less indirectly affected. If
Brazil and Argentina can reach a com
mon ground for the preservation of har
monyand only they as the great pow
ers of South America can thwart ag
gressions and prevent clashes they will
establish a remarkable condition around
them and be assisted by every commer
cial interest which seeks markets on
that continent.
There appears to be Ho real ground to
apprehend the unification of the South
American people for the discouragement
of trade with this country. Such has
been the impression which unfriendly
interests have sought to convey, but rep
resentatives of those countries In Wash
ington allow no opportunity to escape of
showing that there Is a cordial feeling in
the communities of the South American
continent for those to the north of It. It
would seem that these reports emanate
from foreign sources with the aim of
opening a channel for establishing com
mercial relations with nations which deal
largely with the United States. Alto
gether the possibility of the formation
Of a BrazIlian-ArcrpnMn Vinn4 rrm ho
maintenance of peace and friendship lq
uu America is one ox. tne most,prom.
lawg signs for American trade.
