imminent danfer of being crushed be

While In this dilemma the .rovisionn

tl-.ls arrangement so many of the pas

to live on short rations. The fresh
water "upply became exhausted and
distillation was resorted to. Later It
became ncessrv for all on board to
rcartlre living on a limited diet. This
was continued for only a few davs
when the veseel found Its wav free of

colonel A. W. Miller, of Portland, sur
vivor of two aea disasters, yesterday,
after reading of the fate that befell
the passengers on tho Titanic.
Colonel Miller 'was a nassonirer on
the ateamer Great Republic that went
to pieces on band Island, at the mouth
of the Columbia River,,. April- 19, 1879,
and also was on board the transport
Thomas which caught ilre whllb travel
ing from Galveston to New Orleans on
the Gulf of Mexico, Christmas day.
18S5.
The wreck of the Great Republic is
well remembered by many Portland
people. The vessel was bound from
San Francisco to Portland, and had
1250 passengers on board. As she
neared the mouth of the Columbia she
encountered a storm that drove her
onto tha beach of Sand Island. She
lay. there for nearly a day. the waves
all the while pounding against her
side. Late In the afternoon she started
to go to pieces. It was then that the
Government lighthouse tnnder Shubrtck
made its way out from Astoria and ef
fected a rescue. The women and chll
aren were put into the lifeboats sent
out from the Shubrick nnd conveyed on
mi vessel. .exi the men were
taken away. The crew attempted to
follow, but 14 of their number were
lost. It was late at night when Colonel
Miller left the ruined ship, he being
among me last to De rescued.
"That relief ship coming, to our res
cue certainly looked good." said Colonel
aimer yesieraay. io one who never
baa been the victim of a shipwreck
can realise how the nasaens-era on the
Titanic relt when they saw relief in
sight. Although some among them had
to be separated from membera of their
families, they must have experienced
a certain Joyoua thrill when they saw
the other boata coming to pick them
up after drifting about In the lifeboats
for a few hours.
Colonel Miller retains the ticket for
nis passage from San Franclseo to
Portland. It waa not collected after
the wreck.
Altnougn tne burning of the steamer
Thomas, upon which Colonel Miller waa
a passenger, threatened the double dan
ger of destruction by fire aa wall aa
by water, no lives were lost. AH handa
had a narrow escape, however. Miller
had Just been mustered out. of the
Union Army following tha close of the
war, and was traveling through the
South to recover his health. The
Thomas waa a cotton transport, but
carried a passenger list of 200. 6he
had Just entered the mouth of the Mis
sissippi when the cotton in her hold
caught Are. All efforts to extinguish
the flames were unavailing. Panre
reigned among the crew and passen
gers. By running at full speed the
boat was able to make New Orleans
nd discharge her passengers. Then
ha wss sent across the river, where
he was beached and allowed to burn
out.

Charge Mnde That Firm Was Barred
Froin Sale.
Alleging that other dealers In second
hand machinery had combined to. pre
vent them from bidding at "a sals of
second-hand machinery by the city at
the Albina shops of the water depart
ment yesterday morning, AL Barde &
Son called upon the Mayor at noon and
prevailed upon him to prevent the de
livery of the goods until the matter
in be further Investigated.
Those who attended the sale were: J.
Simon & Brother, H. B. Davis. Nick
Brown. Harry Weinberg. Zimmerman.
Wells & Brown, and J. Levy. The en
tire stork of pumps, piping and other
Junk supplies was auctioned off for a
little more than 11500.
When Jack Barde, representing the
firm of Barde & Son, appeared before
the Mayor to have the sale blocked. I
he declared that ha would give J1000
mere than the total bid made by the
comnctltors and was willing to de
liver a check for the entire amount on
the spot. Purchasers of the goods had
already gone to Albina to haul them
away when the order from the Mayor
restraining delivery, pending Investiga
tion, was received, and as a result the
office of the Executive waa besieged
all afternoon by Irate bidders, who In
sisted upon their right to take their
purchases Immediately.
Mr. Barde Insists that his firm was
not notified that the sale was pend
ing, and asserts that the other dealers
had entered Into some sort of agree
ment to prevent him from getting a
chance to bid.
"The supplies which were sold yes
terday for between 11200 and 11500
were worth at least 17000," said he. "I
Intend to have the matter looked Into
thoroughly and find out Just why It
was that our firm waa not notified In
time to have a man on the grounds to
bid."

Faster Train to San Francisco Not to
Be Put On at Oner.
Inauguration of the Southern .Pacif
ic's new fast train service between
Portland and 8an Francisco, which has
been in contemplation for several
months, may be delayed until late in
the present year, but its necessity is
becoming so apparent that passenger
officials declare It is Inevitable.
"We have discussed it many times."
said John M. Scot, general passenger
agent yesterday, "but nothing definite
haa been determined. The question has
been taken up by the heads of the
traffic department at San Franclaco.
nd It Is probable they will act aa aoon
as the service becomes necessary."
The Southern Pacific has under con
sideration two methods of meeting the
present heavy travel between Portland
and San Francisco. One is to place the
Shasta Limited, now operating between
Seattle and San Francisco, on a faster
schedule, snd the other Is to place Into
romm'sslon an entirely new train be
tween Portland and Pan Francisco, al
lowing the Shasta to run on Its pres
ent time.
