LEAPS OFF BRIDGE
Samuel Renshaw,Mailcarrier,
Commits Suicide.
DRIVEN TO THE ACT BY WORRY
-Apparently on Impulse, He Leaves
His Horse and Cart and Jumps
Into the Willamette
Rlve'r.
Despondent from overwork and worry,
his mind appirently unbalanced from
constant brooding over mistakes that to
other men would seem but trifles. Samuel
Henshaw. a mailcarrler, jumped from the
cast approach of the steel bridge yester
day at noon, and was drowned. His
body had -not been recovered last night,
although a search party was making
every effort to find. it. There seems to
.have been no motive for the deed other
than the worry over the few mistakes
Samuel Rennhaw.
that he had made In the mall. Those
who knew Renshaw Intimately say thit
he had never shown any elgns of being
Insane. His brother, Reuben Renshaw, a
motormsn for the Portland Street Rail
way Company, said last night that his
brother had seemed to be in good health.
There had never been any reason to
think that he was in the least insane,
He had had no trouble with any one
that he knew of, and he was at a loss to
ascribe armotlve for the act.
It was undoubtedly a case of deliberate
eulcide. Renshaw was working In the
place of E. F. Patterson, who has a
route along Sullivan Gulch and east to
Twenty-third street. The steel bridge
is not ou this route, and there is no one
who seems to know of any reason why
he should have driven there, except with
the intention of taking his life. He hid
been acting as a substitute for some of
the other carriers and bad been efficient.
This particular route, however, was a
hard one, and being new to Renshaw
caused him a gPeat deal of trouble. He
had a certain time in which to make It,
and in his effort to finish on time made
a number of mistakes. These eeemed to
bother him a great deal, and yesterday
he apparently decided to end the worry.
Driving out on the bridge a distance of
about 40 feet, he left his cart standing,
and without a moment's hesitation
walked to the railing and Jumped over.
Renshaw was a young man about 33
yeas old, a member of the Odd Fellows
order, and known to be gentlemanly and
quiet. Before coming to Portland he
owned" a hotel in California. On arriv
ing" here he accepted a position as con
ductor on the "Washington street-car line,
which he held until he went into the
mailcarrler service. He had many friends
here and all say that they are greatly
surprised that he would do anything so
rash. His wife died about three years
ago, and they say that he has seemed
changed since that time, and that it was
known that he was despondent at times,
hut it was not thought that he would,
carry his despondency so far.
H. . DOSCH IN JAPAN.
Drcson'ji Commissioner Is Jolted and
Jnrred in a Typhoon.
, H. E. Dosch had a rough voyage to Ja
pan. A letter was received from him by
Secretary Reed, of the Lewis and Clark
Fair. Mr. Dotch arTiyjfd at Yokohama
September 19, three days late. The ship
was in a. typhoon off Japan, and this
st-ared the seasickness out of the Colonel.
2Mr. Dcsch writes:
On the ninth day out, about 6 in the morning,
some one' called out, "Land ahoy!" Oh, what a
musical pound it had! But when I had crawled
on deck and saw a streak of shore line to the
north my heart sank again, for I was told It
was the Aleutian Islands not Japan.
Now, that puzzled me. "What are we doing
away up north? So I. asked the captain and
a Jolly old tar Is he?-why they did not make a
beo line for Yokohama! Of course, I knew the
first half of the voyage would be a little uphill,
but after wc had crossed the meridian, we
could sjlde down at a great rate, if he did not
put on the brakes too hard, but he explained to
me that it was nearer to go around the hill
than over It, but I know hetter. The road
around is graded and he has traveled It so often
that he knows all the ruts, chuckholes and
Etvmps. and when he comes to where the roads
fork and the puideboard. as usual. Is. missing,
be knows which road to take, and does not have
to stop and ask a mermaid or two, only to be
told, "Just keepjon the main traveled road and
ycu won't go astray": hence we are here In
stead of the Behrlng Straits, If it did take 19
days to go around Instead of "over the hllL"
Speaking of crossing the meridian, a singular
thing occurs, for hero we loso 24 hours. "We
crossed "Wednesday. September 10.' about mld
nljht. and when next morning we looked at
our breakfast menu It read "Friday, September
12." and w had lost a wholo day's pleasure (?)
and enjoyment (?) of being rocked In the cradle
of the deep. The captain assured me It was
only pleasure deferred, for when we crossed
this dividing line on our return we would enjoy
one day that has two nights and contains 48
hours.
I am glad I am on "terra cotta" again, as
Mrs. Partington raid to Ike. and am seriously
meditating whether to send for my folks to
come o-er here and stay, but that would be
criCsh. and then agajn, after a few weeks on
fhre wo feel better, for. you know, human na
tu ha3 the happy faculty of forgetting all the
hemps, jolts 'and rough places.
MAKE BETS IN COURTROOM
Spectators at Murder Trial Lny Wa
gers on Jury-Impaneling.
A spectator at the White murder trial
yesterday morning was greatly amused at
the actions of two Tnn who evidently
thought they were in the betting ring of
a racing track. Every time a talesman
was summoned, one of the men would say,
Til bet a dime he doesn't go through."
"I'll take you," the other would reply,
and the dimes would be laid on the bench.
As the examination would proceed and
the talesman would say that he had ex
pressed an opinion or that it would re
quire a great deal of evidence to remove
doubts from his mind as to White's guilt,
the first bettor would offer a second dime.
"Give me two to one," the second would
say.
"Done," would be the invariable re
sponse. Thus, the spectator Eays. the two sit
the whole morning speculating for their
own profit on the personnel of the Jury
which will decide whether or not White
shall hang for the murder of Beauchene.
At noon they left the Courtroom and thoy
did not return for the afternoon session.
The spectator says that both seemed to
take as much pleasure in their betting -as
the others did interest in the proceed
ings, and'from some remarks they let drop
he supposed that they were both either
friends or acquaintances of White.
JURY OUT SEVEN HOURS.
And Then Falls to Bring: Verdict In
Gambling: Cases.
For seven hours yesterday a jury in the
funiclpal Court wrestled In the jurybox
with the cases in which William Ayers,
David Schiller, William James, A. a Bax
ter and Tom Bragg were charged, with
gambling at the Portland Club, and at
11:10 o'clock last night they failed to agree
on a verdict, and m-ere discharged. It Is
understood that the vote stood four for
acquittal and two for conviction.
It took 70 minutes to get the Jury, im
paneled. Several candidates for the Jury
box confessed to .having religious convic
tions which prejudiced them against' .gam
bling. The name of Francis Sealy was
called. n
"Mr. Sealy, were you not born in Eng
lena?" asked Mr. McGinn.
"I was born In Ireland," was the ..reply.
"God bless you. Accepted," said Mr.
McGinn, breaking into a smile. There
was general laughter. The other jurors
were: Anthony Neppach. William Sheeny,
W. W. Peasiee. Hugh McGuirc and John
Schaid.
Policeman H. A. Parker was the only
witneas called for the prosecution. "He
testified: "September 3 I went to an up
stairs room at the Portland Club, Fifth
and Alder sheets, and saw seven men
there. The men got excited when they
saw me, and they arose from a faro table.
Two men got away. The other Ave, the
defendants, were seated at the table when
I entered the room. There were chips and
cards on the table, and Ayers was seated
In the dealer's chair. In a drawer under
the table was $139 In money, which i
seized."
"What sort of a table was it?" asked
Mr. McNary.
"It was a faro table; but I don't know
enough about the game to know .w:hen a
man win or loses." admitted the witness.
"I was in uniform at the time. I went
to the room accidentally. The man at the
outside door allowed me to go inside."
A. O. Baxter, one of the defendants,
stated that when Policeman Parker called
he was in the place to see if he. could
get a position of some sort from Peter
Grant, as he had been out of work since
the games stopped.
"I am a speculator," stated Tom Bragg.
when asked -about his occupation. "I
went from the saloon to the room upstairs
to get a $10 gold Iece changed, when the
policeman came. I was not gambling at
that 'Jme. I was employed in the house
up to last June or July,.jtvhen the games
were running."
"I am manager of the iPortland Club
and have been such since August 18,"
testified Peter Grant. "There has been
no gambling at the place since I have been
there. When he policeman called, Sep
tember 3, I was out. and returned shortly
afterward. Frank Hellen is now In Cali
fornia, and he has not been connected
with the club since October 1. Of .course,
there were gaming Implements In the club
house when the olllcer called, but tho rea
son was that we have been hoping all
along that something would bejoone In the
gambling situation, so that wfc. might be
allowed to play again. But It sefms that
there's nothing of this sort to bu done at
present. Ayers has no Interest lnjthe club
house now. I have bought a share in the
business." 1
"Who are your partners?" asked Sir.
McNary.
"I don't want to tell the names of the
gentlemen whom I represent." :
"The witness need not tell his private
business matters." protested Mr. McGinn.
The question was ruled out. and; the wit
ness went on to say that the defendants
were loafing around the place when the
policeman arrived. "The police told us
not to gamble and we quit," concluded
Grant.
In addressing tho jury (Mr. McGinn stat
ed that no evidence had been prpdticed
showing that the men had gambled Sep
tember 3. and that the men had simply
used the Portland Club as a loafing place
since play stopped, under the police reg
ulations. He thought that the city is suf
fering from an attack of spasmodic vlf tue.
Mr. McNary announced that although In
the past games had been allowed to run,
the present city administration Is deter
mined thnt gamblers will be prosecuted to
the end. The case then went to the jury.

ALBINA FOR FRANCHISE
RESIDENTS WILL WELCOME KEW
STREET-CAR LINE.
;
If Proper Restrictions Are Made,
Grant to Portland Railway Com
, piany Will Be Favored.
Alblna residents seem to be pleased with
their prospective street-car facilities.
Property-owners generally have expressed-
themselves as favorable to the
Portland Railway Company franchise
with proper restrictions. f
F. A. Watts said yesterday that,' if the
franchise is granted on Russell street,
from Union avenue, and from there on to
Maryland avenue, there should be some
Income to the city, as the frapchlse Is a
valuable one. Alblna, he said, will ben
efit largely from the construction of an
other street railway. Mr. Watts said he
had no doubt but that It was the com
pany's Intention to continue on down the
Peninsula to St. Johns. L. T. Peery also
said that the Introduction of another
street railway Into Alblna will be a great
thing, -and Is sure to help that part of
the city. He thought that, under the
present city charter, the Council had the
authority to impose such restrictions in
tho grant of the franchise as may be de
sired. M.- E. Thompson, president of the Cen
tral' Albirta Board of Trade, said:
"I have heard of no opposition in Al
blna to the proposed franchise. In fact,
the extension Is just what our people
down here are after. The company seems
to "be aiming to go on the Peninsula and
make .a circuit. The proposed new car
line will pass the corner of Mississippi
avenue and Shaver street, whsre the
Board of Trade will build Its hall."
The City & Suburban Railway will soon
have Its St -Johns line electrified. The
work of placing poles and wires Is nearly
completed, and It is expected that electric
cars will be. In operation from the heart of
Portland to St. John3 before the first of
the year. The transfer station, located at
Kllllngsworth and Williams avenues, will
be moved near Ockley Green. To this
new junction the Mississippi-avenue line,
whlch'how ends at Mississippi avenue and
Shaver street, will be extended. Very
soon some larger oars will take the place
of the small one3 now operated on tho
Mississippi-avenue branch. On the whole,
Alblna Is in line for large improvements
in street-car facilities within the next
few months.
SUNNYSIDE SCHOOL BUILDING.
It lb Completed Excepting: the Heat
ing: Apparatus and Furniture.
The addition to" the Sunnyslde School Is
completed, and .could be used within a
few days If the furnace were In posi
tion; but it is not. and hence it Is fitill
uncertain when the new portion can be
occupied. '
When completed the Sunnyslde School
house will contain 12 full classrooms, -besides
a fine assembly hall on the second
floor. The latter Is nearly eauare and is
right In the center of the whole, structure,
where It Is accessible from all the class
rooms;. The platform Is being built on
the north side of the hall. This hall will
easily accommodate 700 or S00 people, on
special occasions.
The Indications are that the 12 rooms of
the StinnysIde Schoolhouse will all be
occupied next year at least. There is a
great growth In that part of the city.
2ew, houses are constantly springing up.
REPAIRS TO ALBINA FERRY.
Boat Will Be Ready for Service
,WHkIn About Three Weeks.
The work- of repairing the W. S. Mason,
the Alblna firry, -Is prpgressing rapidly.
A large force of men has been employed
and the-work Is being crowded forward
at every point on the craft. The ferry will
probably be ready to resume trips in
about thrso weeks. These repairs reach
every part of the ferry, so that, when
completed, the Mason will be nearly as
good as new. 4
As the Alblna free ferry Is a permanent
Institution, probably a bont with a steel
hull 6f larger dimensions will be Duilt
when the Mason is no longer serviceable.
There . js ..a. heavy team travel, but just
at P5- J ver" quiet at the east
clde of the ferry landing, as only pedes
trians are catrled by the Republic, which
is temporarily on the route,

MARY M'LANE IN COURT.
She Denies She Is From Butte, and
Testifies Before Judge Hogue.
Miss Mary McLane appeared yesterday
as a witness in the Municipal Court, In
the case where J. T. Wilson, a contractor,
was accused of assaulting the 6-year-old
son of Mrs. Beside Stein, at Fourth and
Sheridan streets. The evidence of the boy
was to the effect that while he was play
ing on Sheridan street near a house on
which Wilson was working Wilson knocked
him down and his face was badly bruised.
In defense Wilson said: "The boy and
other children were destroying my shin
gles, and I took him by his right arm and
told him to go home. I stumbled over a
bunch of shingles, and the boy fell."
"Call Miss McLane," suggested Wilson's
lawyer, and a pretty, ''fair-haired little girl
of about S years old responded. Municipal
Judge Hogue looked doubtfully at her and
asked: "What is your name, little girl?"
"Mary McLane," oald the mite.
"From Butte?" asked a voice In the
crowd.
"No, sir; from Portland," answered the
witness.
"Do you know what It Is to tell the
truth?" went on the Judge.
"Yes, sir."
"What will happen to you If you tell a
He?"
The small girl pondered a moment and
replied: "Please, sir, I won't get to
heaven."
"You will not only hot get to heaven,
but you may go to jail," suggested the
Judge.
MI3 McLane was then sworn, and she
testified that Wilton took hold of the
boy's right arm and that the boy felf on
the sidewalk. The Judge decided that a
case of assault had not been made 6ut, and
he discharged Wilson.

WANDERERS
Travel Thousand! of Miles nnl Find
It at Home.
We go about from one place to another
In, search of something we desire, without
success .and finally find it right at home
awaiting us. A mining engineer out In
Mansfield, Mo., tells of his experience
with coffee.
He says: "Up to the year 1S9S I had
always been accustomed to drinking cof
fee with my breakfast each morning. In
the summer of that year I developed a
severe case of nervous prostration, and I
took several courses of treatment for it in
Toronto, Buffalo and New York City with
out obttfning any permanent benefit.
"Ono of the most trying manifestations
of the malady was a condition of nervous
excitement In which I found myself every
day during the forenoon. It never oc
curred to me to" attribute this to coffee
until I read an advertisement of yours
last Fall describing a case similar to my
own which had received benefit from the
use of Postum Cereal Food Coffee. I at
once changed my breakfast beverage from
Java and Mocha to Pcstum, and the effect
was nothing short of marvelous. After
using !t less than a week I wae free from
morning attacks, and In six months all
my nervous symptoms had disappeared.
"I have demonstrated the fact that by
following your directions in making Pos
tum Food. Coffee any one can obtain as
rich a cup of coffee from Postum as from
any of the Imported brands, and may
rest assured that they will escape the In
jurious effects of coffee and experience
much benefit from the use of Postum."
