Coroner Pinley held an inquest into the causes of the accident yesterday morning, and after hearing the evidence Introduced by the trainmen in charge of both the "Spokane Flyer" and the "Chicago-Portland Special," the Jury returned a verdict of unavoidable accident. The principal feature of the inquest was the graphic description of the hap penings on engine No. 193, hauling the "Chicago-Portland Special" previous to the collision by Fireman Louis Morgan, of the ill-fated locomotive, According to the testimony At.the in quest, both "Fireman Morgan and En gineer Swayne played the parts of heroes in the effort to bring their engine to a stop before reaching the station at Bridal Veil. Conductor Glcndcnnlng a Witness. The first witness was Conductor W. R. Glendenning of No. 3, who told of the arrival of his train at Bridal Veil and of having received orders to wait there until No. 22 arrived from the west, where they were engaged In clearing the track of a freight wreck between Troutdale and Hood River. The first notice they Mrs. Nellie Riley, of Walla Walla, who died yesterday as result of in juries received la Bridal Veil wreck. had received of trouble ahead was at The Dalles, where they were notified to await orders at Bridal Veil before proceeding to Portland. This same order was also given to No. 5. Glendenning also testi fied to having sent his flagman back as a matter of precaution, and added for the benefit of Deputy District Attorney Adams, "that 10,000 flagmen could not have stopped No. 5 under the circum stances." Brakeman C. C, Lord told of having been sent back to protect his train by Conductor Glendenning upon their ar rival at Bridal Veil, and finding that they would be held there Indefinitely. Fireman Morgan's Testimony. Fireman Louis Morgan of cnglno 193, hauling train No. 5, was the next witness called. "We received notification of trou ble ahead at The Dalles, and on reach ing Bonneville, were notified to look out for Number 3 at Bridal Veil, as they were stalled there awaiting the coming oia wrecKing train wnicl? was clearing the tracks somewhere west of that sta tion," said he. "When we were some where about three miles from Bridal Veil, something broke in the cab, which ira . mediately tilled the cab with hot steam, driving the engineer and myself from the cab. I climbed back over the tender and then made an effort to get over the roof of the cab with the Intention of stopping me iram ay reacmng in on the engi neer's side and throwing the lever. We wero traveling about 20 miles an hour when the pipe broke, which, of course, was Increased to an extent with no ono at the controller. My face and arms were scalded some, and the effort to climb over the roof was exceedingly difficult, for there are no handholds on the top of the cab. When I gained the running board and reached through to the engi neer's wiadow and threw back tie- lever. t'ss?l:x.BBBBK2 .;yst.. X-'V-BBBw wC were almost in the Bridal Veil yard. I tried to get the air clutch, but the seaMlsg steam drove roe back, and then I soticed that a collision was Inevitable, and prepared to Jump. Felt Shock or Air Brakes. "Before doing so I felt a distinct shock, denoting the sudden applica tion of the brakes, and then I knew that someone had cut the air connec tion or used the conductor's emer gency brake, and I jumped from the engine." Morgan was asked if nc saw the en gineer after the breaking of Uie steam pipe, to which he replied that he had Xelt him on the tender, and believed that Swayne had attempted -to get back Into" the cab, under the impres sion that it was a water glass that had broken, which explains the' se rious burns sustained by the driver. Brakeman Spilth -of No. 5 told of having pulled the emergency brake on passing the section house In the Bridal Veil yard, which was the first Intimation ho had of there being- any danger, for the train was not going above ordinary speed previous to entering the yard. Other Witnesses Testify. J. B.

EGAN IS DISMISSED lie Proves That Miss Pctra Chrlstori phenson "Was Mistaken "When Sho Accused. II lm or Attacking Her. LONGEST SESSION OF MUNIC IPAL COURT. Judge Cameron yesterday held the longest scision In the history of the Municipal Court, which convened at OA.M. and adjourned at 4:30 P. M.. with but 15 minutes intermission. There were Just 00 cases on the docket, and the majority of them were given Anal disposition, while a number wero continued. To add to the Judge's strenpous day. some unknown mother-in-law called htm up by telephone before breakfast and upbraided him tor his scathing remarks about them. "How dare you Include all mothers-in-law in your remarks V she demanded. "But, madame, I "Never mind explanations," she heatedly replied, before His Honor could make a statement. "I don't aee how your moiher-ln-law gets along with you." Then she hung up the receiver, giving the Judge no chance. That W. S. Egan was not the man who bound, gagged and tied Miss Petra Chrls torphenson while she was alone in the home of W. G. McPherson, 27 Marshall street, recently, was proved beyond doubt In the Municipal Court yesterday when thp accused placed his wife and two other witnesses on the stand and showed that on the night ot the affair he was at his home playing cards until late and never left the house. He was therefore dis charged by Judge Cameron. Miss Chrlstorphenson picked out Mr. Egan on the street, and it was solely upon her declaration that she was posi tive he was the man that he was taken Into custody and charged with the crime. He is a well-known man of this city. Is employed by a local firm, and the sur prise over his arrest was great. Yesterday afternoon the young woman stuck to It that Egan was the guilty man, but her declaration was shown to be incorrect, because ot the positive alibi established by the defense. "Absolutely the worst case of total de pravity ever heard In the Municipal Court," was the way Deputy City Attor ney Fitzgerald termed the action In which Ila AppeL aged 16 years, and two young men. figured, .and which caused BaVlender O. Garvin of the iow .Market saloon, to be fined $25 for complicity. D. Fresla. keeper of the resort, will probably lose his license for permitting the scandal, as Stenographer Leonard, of the head quarters staff of clerks, took the testi mony and a transcript will be presented to the liquor license committee of the Council, with a request to revoke the license. The details cC the case were such as to cause a veteran policeman to blush, and Judge Cameron cleared the court room while the case waff in progress. When it was finished. His Honor delivered a short speech. In which he said that it was beyond his conception how two young men and a girl of 16 years could be so depraved as to plead guilty to such charges. He said he could not under stand how human beings could be guilty of acts such as the accused admittedly committed. In adjusting the penalties. Judge Cam eron ordered Ha Appel into the custody of the Magdalene Home; fined George Lytton $15 and sentenced Frank Meyers to the City Jail for 20 days, in addition to five days already spent pending the hear ing of the case. Owing to the scandalous affair, which began In the New Market saloon. Third and Market streets, and ended in a room above, rented by the keeper of the resort. Deputy City Attorney Fltxgerald called in Clerk Leonard and took a complete transcript of the evidence, which he will submit to the liquor license committee of the Council. "Don't try to crush a woman when she is trying to reform." pleaded Attorney J. M. Long, who was conducting the de fense for Mrs. Glenn Brown, together with Alex Sweek. Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald was being addressed, "I will not attempt to lay a straw in the way of a woman who wishes to re form." hotly replied Mr. Fitzgerald, "but I tell the court in this case that the only game Mr. Long and Mr. Sweek are play ing Is to work the sympathetic dodge here in this case, get this woman dis charged and then they can show that their other client. John Conrad, was with in the law when he permitted them to hang around his saloon." "Nothing ot the kind," retorted both opposing attorneys, but before they could finish their statement. Judge Cameron rapped for order. The case will be decided this morning, together with the Conrad case, which Is set for hearing today. "Doc" Koontx, stranger In Portland, "struck" the wrong man for money when he solicited Sergeant of Police 'Baty for a dime to secure food with. The officer was In plain clothes, he arrested the beg gar and Judge Cameron Imposed a ftno of IS. Joe La Barge and George Billing, young boys, charged with burglary, were re leased on one count and held on another. Momlo Parker, colored, was held to the grand Jury on a charge of larceny from the person. REVENUE FROM CREMATORY Hides, Bones and Tallow of Animals Made to Pay. Since his Incumbency as superintendent of the city garbage crematory. C L. Daggett has created a new municipal In dustry. Heretorore it nas been the cus tom to cremate, without much ceremony. the carcaeees ot all animals brought to the Institution; but Superintendent Dag gett has nit .upon a more profitable slan. Under present arrangements, the hides of dead horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, and In fact everything with pelts of commer cial value, are preserved, as well as the feoaac and. tallow, la consequence ol which the revewue frotx them sources goes a long war tawari maklag the crematory self-seppertlar. Last xmith Daggett turned late the general fund nearly Xi from hidec JtL fer tallow, and about U fer bones, aad It Is estimated that these ametmts will he hereafter increased cottsMerably. The horse hides are worth 13 each, cat tle hides frem 5 te 6 cents a pound, while large degskiM command X cents apiece. The latter are valuable In the manufac ture ot fine driving gloves, being regard ed more impervious to water than buck ski a. It has been suggested that the econo mies practiced by the city in this respect are nothing more than what falls to the lot ot many farmers, and that -by a llttlo careful management along similar lines the income frem' those residing In rural districts may be considerably augmented.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disin fectant and purifier In nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present In the stomach and Intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently aafe cathartic " It absorbs the Injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; It disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the roost for the money Is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed ot the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell la a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of It Is, that bo possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the con trary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician In speaking of the benefits ot charcoal, says: "I advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bow els, and te clear the complexion and purity the breath.- mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the dally use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drugstores, and although in seme sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Lecenges than la any e-f the ordinary charcoal tablets." WiSSSHEEK'SSTQRY Girl Fond of Notoriety Forced to Confess; SAYS SHE TOLD FALSEHOOD Wife of Detective Hartman the Ono "Who Secured True Statement From Young- Woman About, an Imaginary Attack. THE MAUD SHKEK CASE. Sunday evening. January 2S, Miss Maud Sheek rushed Into tho home of A. F. Elrath. -ISO Schuyler street, where she was temporarily stopping, and said she had been attacked, bound, sagged and brutally treated by two unknown men. Immediately upon receipt of the news. Captain of Police Slover dis patched Sergeant Hogeboom and Patrolman Parker to investigate. Monday. Staff Detective Hartman took up the case and worked on it without much satisfaction for sev eral days. Miss Sheek declared thai she had fought off the two men. and that she pulled a mask from the face ot one, recognizing him as an Italian who had been following her for months. So peculiar and mysterious was the case that It finally became nec essary for Detective Hartman to call In his wife to assist, and to her is due the credit of a confession from Miss Sheek that the st5ry was all false. To the wife of Keadauarters De flective Hartman is due the credit of clearing up the mystery ot the sensa tional story of Miss Maud Sheek and the securing of a full confession from the girl, declaring her lurid report of being bound, gagged and burtally treated by tvp masked thugs a pure fabrication, Mrs. Hartman became interested In the case, and believed she could per suade the alleged victim of the as sault to tell tbe truth about the mat ter, and arrangements were mado to have the two women meet In a room off a Washington-street hotel, where the Hartmans have apartments. While Miss Sheek. confronted with sufficient evidence of her false story to weaken her, sat in one room and told Mrs. Hartman that the lurid tale given the police was a fabrication. Inspector of Police Bruin and Detective Hartman wero seated in an adjoining room, lis tening. After the girl made her confes sion to Mrs. Hartman another meet ing was arranged .to take place at the Sheek home. There Inspector -Bruin. Detective Hartman and his wife again heard tho confession, in the presence of the parents of Miss Sheek. Later she made affidavit, as Mayor Lane wished her to do so. kswearing her story was untrue. Miss Sheek at first claimed to have been gagged by the imaginary pair of thugs, who, she. declared, stuffed, a doll wig down Iter throat to force si lence. This very wig was what brought out the full confession, for Mrs. Hartman took It and showed it to Miss Shock's mother, who identified it. Mrs. Hartman then told the girl about this, and advised her to confess the whole thing, which she did. Miss: Sheek Is declared by the police to be fond of figuring In sensational stories, and It is thought probable that she deliberately planned the startling affair for the -express purpose of getting into print. It was two days before the report was made by her that she completed plans for the affair. At that time she made herself some toast and burned two pieces of bread to a crisp. These she exhibited to Mrs. Elrath, shrieking dramatically that within two days two men would foully mistreat her. In two duys Miss Sheek said the men attacked her. but later confessed. The case Is easily one of the most remarkable ever coming to the atten tion of the Portland police.

The blood is filled with poisonous acids which seem to be excited by the cold; and as these are thrown off through the pores and glands, the skin cracks and bleeds, the flesh becomes hot and feverish and the itching intense. The natural oils which keep the skin soft and pliant are dried up by the cold, bleak winds, causing it to become hard auddrr. srivintr itthatshiny, leathery appearance, characteristic of thedisease. The head, face, hands and feet are the nsual points of attack, though other parts of the body may be affected. So painful and distressing is the trouble that the sufferer constantly "doctors" and treats it trying-to get relief. Soothing washes, medicated ointments and salves are used, but aside front giving- temporary relief they do no good. The cause is poisonous acids in theblood, and these must be removed before a cure can be effected. The only cure for Winter Eczema is S. S. S., S.S.S.
