BURNS KILL BABE
Four-Year-Old Girl Victim of
Fatal Accident
MATCHES SET FIRE TO DRESS
Street-Car Conductor Extinguishes
Flames That Enveloped Little
Athleen Cassell, but Severe
Injuries Cause Death.
From a season of -pleasure at Seasfdc
little 4-year-old Athleen Cassell camo
home yesterday morn!n& to meet a hor
rible death. At noon her eyes danced
in childish glee as she listened to
stories "while sitting: on the knee o her
grandfather; at 9 o'clock last night
the eyes had closed in death, and about
her bed In St. Vincent's Hospital knelt
relatives from -whose lives the sunshine
has suddenly gone.
The child returned from Seaside -with
her parents yesterday morning, and the
family went to take dinner with the
child's grandparents, who live at 570
Front street. During the meal Athleen
sat on her grandfather's knee and de
lighted the family with her prattle. She
was always a great favorite with her
grandparents, who are almost pr.os
trated as the result of the tragedy that
came upon them as a bolt from a clear
sky.
After dinner the child was playing in
the yard with other children about her
own age. In some manner unknown
they obtained possesion of a box of
matches and began Igniting them and
experimenting with the flames. Ath
leen's clothing caught fire and she ran
screaming from the yard and down the
street. A City & Suburban car was
passing, and the conductor, seeing the
child ablaze, leaped fom the car, tore
off his coat and wrapped it about the
child. The flames were extinguished,
but the baby had been fatally burned.
She was removed Immediately to Cot
ters drugstore at First and Grant
Btrcets, where restoratives were ap
plied. Her clothing had almost entire
ly been burned from her body and "she
was unconscious. Dr. S. H. Sheldon
was summoned and the child ordered
removed to St. "Vincent's Hospital,
where she died shortly after 9 o'clock
last night, without regaining conscious
ness. Coroner Finley was notified and
took charge of the body.
The children who were playing with
Athleen at the time of the accident
were her cousins, and are so young
that they cannot tell exactly how the
accident occurred. "When the child's
clothing caught firo they ran into the
house, terror-stricken, and Athleen ran
In the opposite direction and Into the
street. A large crowd was attracted
by the child's screams, but it appears
that none made an effort to save her,
and the street-car man said that he was
obliged to push his way through the
crowd to get at the glrL His hands
and arms were badly burned, but the
wounds are not serious. The child's
limbs were fearfully burned, but it is
thought that death resulted from In
haling the flames.
RTTT.Tm BY FALL DOW STAIRS
Frank T. Nias, Railroad Man, Meets
With Fatal Accident.
Frank T. Nias, a railroad man, fell
down the stairs of the Stuart House,
at First and "Washington streets, at 7
o'clock yesterday morning and expired
within a few minutes in the arms of
Police Officers Price and Lillls, who
were called to remove him to a hospi
tal. His neck was broken by tho
fall.
Nias was a railroad man of tho old
school, and formerly held positions
of trust with several of the leading
roads of the country. He began at the
bottom of the service and worked
his way up until he became
a passenger conductor. Trouble
with his first wife, from whom
he afterward secured a divorce, caused
him to begin drinking heavily. He lost
one position after another through his
intemperate habits, and finally secured
a position as brakeman on the Astoria
& Columbia River Railroad, being in
that company's employ at the time of
his death.
Nias went to his room Friday night
at 11 o'clock in a state of intoxication.
At 7 o'clock yesterday morning he war,
heard by Landlord McCormick to leave
his room. Immediately afterward he
fell down the stairs. The landlord and
several roomers hastened to the land
ing of the stairs, and saw that Nias
TALES OF
THE Wades of Salem are fond of
cats. Felines of every descrip
tion, sex arid age, common black,
white, yellow, spotted. Angoras and
Maltese have appeared from time to
time within the Wade walls, purred or
meowed a space and then gone their
way. One old torn, more persistent than
the rest, remained year after year, un
til the wonder grew that a cat so aged
could yet hold his own with either a
saucer of milk or a rival on the back
fence. But signs of senile decay began
to become obvious even to those that
loved him most. Finally, after a pro
tracted absence at some cat-convention,
the elderly animal returned with
very dejected mein and Indications off
mange. The disease made rapid prW
gross until the poor cat was a very
sorry sight and very miserable Indeed.
Clearly Sancho-Pedro's end must be
hastened "put-out-of-his-mlsery" be
ing the formula. The family physician
being consulted, after much talk it was
decided to use morphine. Enough of
that drug to kill four grown men was
stirred into Sancho's next dinner-mess
and the cat did eat.
Sancho ate and ate, while his horri
fied friends stood around watching for
results and feeling like Cleopatra vor
Lucretia Borgia trying a new brand of
dope on a slave or an enemy.
Sancho cleaned the plate and polished
it off with his tongue. He had seemed
to eat with keener appetite the longer
he kept at it. and when he" had finished
he started in to wash his face, cat
fashion, seeming, for the first time In
months, oblivious to the itching of the
mange.
Suddenly the poison took effect
Sancho flopped over on his back. The
more tender-hearted members of the
family burst into tears as they noted
the few feeble kicks. Strange to say,
the kicks were continued faster and
more vigorous, and Sancho-Pedro roll
ed from side to side like a kitten. Next
commenced a loud and unmistakable
purring. Then Sancho sprang up and
raced madly around the room In pur
suit of a spool of thread. He seemed to
grow younger every minute. His fiery
eye chanced to catch sight of the pet
canary in the cage, six feet above him.
He made a mighty spring, landing hard
against the cage. Down it camo with
its fluttering inmate, and Sancho, sat
isfied or frightened at the result of the
move, flew out of tho open window Into
a flower-bed, which he reduced to ruins
in three seconds. A hen with a lot of
chicks next caught his attention, and
before lie could be stopped he had laid
was fatally Injured, They called the
City Physician and .he patrol wagjn,
and Nias died as the officers were car
rying him from the house to the wagon.
The body was taken in charge by Coro
ner Finley, and is now held- at the un
dertaking parlors. Nias was 47 years
of age.
MISSING CANOEIST EETTJENS.
Frank A. Williamson Is None tho
Worse for His Upset.
Frank A. "Williamson, who was reported
as drowned from his canoe In the Colum
bia near Hamilton's Landing, and for the
recovery of whose body members of the
Portland Rowing Club were about to offer
a reward, sailed serenely into Portland at
5 o'clock last night and announced to his
startled friends that the day upon which"
he was due to shuffle off the mortal coll
was far distant.
"Williamson said that he embarked at
Bonneville as he had arranged to 'do.
Near Hamilton's Landing his canoe was
upset by the current (and a squall, and he
was thrown Into the water. His stock of
provisions started on a cruise toward
the bottom, and "Williamson dived after.
This, he explains, must have happened
when Mr. Hamilton was looking. Failing
to recover his provisions, IWilllamson rose
to the surface farther down the river,
righted his canoe and made for the
Washington shore, where he camped.
The following day he rowed to Col
umbia beach, where he stopped and tele
graphed to Portland for funds, his money
having gone to the bottom of the Colum
bia with the stock of provisions. This
was what caused the delay which made
the members of the rowing club fear
that "Williamson was lost. Yesterday
morning he received the money and imme
diately set out to row to Vancouver,
wnere he arrived shortly after the noon
hour. He then sailed on to Portland,
having heard In the meantime that he
was a dead man.
Yesterday afternoon a committee of the
Machinists' Union visited Chief of Police
Hunt and requested permission to search
Williamson's rooms and take therefrom
his trunk, in order that it might be re
moved to the Police Station, opened and
the address of his relatives found. The
trunk was carried to the station and the
intention was to open It this morning,
when Williamson's sudden apparance
caused a halt in the preparations. ' He
has had the pleasure, however, of know
ing that his friends would have cared
for him had his death been a matter of
fact.
FEAR MORSE IS MURDERED.
Relatives Offer Reward of $50 for
Recovery of Body.
E. C. Morse, the East Side man who
disappeared from his home on Wednes
dav afternoon, has not yet been heard
from, and It is now believed by his rela
tives that he has met with foul play and
has been murdered lor the money which
he had with him. In accordance with
this belief, a reward of $50 has been of
fered for the discovery and return of his
body to his home.
Morse has been traced up to about 6:15
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, when
he was seen by some friends standing on
the corner of .Grand avenue and East
Morrison street, as though waiting for his
car. He had In his arms a. couple of pack
ages, thus bearing out trie Idea that he!
was homeward bound with the supplies
asked for by Mrs. Morse upon his depart
ure from home earlier in the day. He
left the corner upon which he was stand
ing and started up the street. From that'
time nothing has been seon or heard of
him, and it Is supposed that some one
followed and made away with him. The
police are still working on the case,
though they have no clew which wlli
lead them to Its solution.
CRUSHED UNDER PULLMAN.
Californlan Beating His Way Caught
by Wheels and Injured.
Yesterday afternoon as the north
bound Southern Pacific train pulled out
of the station at Brooks, Frank Mona
ghan attempted to board the rear Pull
man, and was thrown under the wheels.
His right leg was broken and his chest
crushpd. The man was otherwise in
jured Internally, and It is thought that
he will die. He was taken to the Salem
Hospital, where he was placed under
the care of Dr. W. H. Byrd, the com
pany's physician.
The injured man is a resident of 1156
Kentucky avenue, San Francisco, and
Is married, leaving a wife in that city.
He was attempting to beat his way to
Portland In search of work when he
met with the accident.
Well-Known Civil War Officer.

THE STREET
out three of the young fowls. Sancho
is said to be still very much alive and
getting over the mange.
HE WAS a very dainty young man with
a downy lip, a pair of eyeglasses and
a lisp. It was a hot day and the dust
whirled up from the curb, sifted Into peo
ple's eyes' and over their clothes, and the
young man resented the attack on his
cleanliness.
"Deuced bore," he confided to him
self as he wandered down Washington
street, "a fellah cawnt clean himself up
If he wishes." Then he espied the place.
The scented Individual mounted the
steps, carnation, kid gloves and glasses.
He smiled patronizingly at the son of
Italy and ascended gently to a seat.
The polisher of leather held aloof. He
was out of his specialty, below his level,
and refused to be charmed.
"I no shina de man," he explained with
gestures, "I shlna de lada."
The Lavander Scented explained. "I
would like to have my shoes polished, my
good man," he said.
"1 no 6hlna de man," chattered the other,
waving his arms and pointing to a sign at
the side of the door. "I shina de girl."
The gloved Individual followed the ges
ture and read "Ladles shoes shlned here"
printed neatly on a card. Then he smiled
sweetly.
"All right fellah," he said elevating a
pair of dainty Oxfords, "I have them
with me."
"Giovine Santa," muttered the Italian,
looking once, and grasping his brushes,
"She weara de pant, I not seea de shoe."
Five minutes later the dainty one
emerged sans dust, plus smile and plus
shine.
DICK LEE, of the Astoria Budget,
used to work in Eastern "papers be
fore he struck Oregon, about a dozen
years ago, and "took a notion" to stay
there and grow up with the town.
"One of the first assignments I ever
got," said Dick one day "was to cover
on anarchist picnic on the Fourth. The
city editor thought it would be a hot
story, and the other papers had the
same idea, I guess, for all of 'em had a
man each at that picnic
"It turned out to be a very dull,
quiet affair; just a little beer and danc
ing and kids playing; nothing that
looked like any kind of a story. I was
new on the sheet and felt that I'd got
to make good somehow and get a beat
on all those other chaps..
"All at once I caught an idea from
OUT FOR PORTAGE
Open River Advocates Favor
Road's Construction,
PLAN TO HASTEN BUILDING
State Commission Has Secured Right
of Way for Celllo Canal, andLthe
Ownership Will Soon Be
Given to Government.
Tho open river committee of the
Chamber of Commerce held a meeting
yesterday afternoon for the further
consideration of -the best methods to
pursue in hastening the construction of
the Portage road at The Dalles. Dr. N.
G. Blalock, of Walla Walla, and J. A.
Smith and W. J. Mariner, of Blalock,
were present at the meeting as repre
sentatives of the Open River Commis
sion of Eastern Oregon and Wash
ington. Nothing of the action of the commit
tee could be gleaned, as it was thought
expedient not to give to the public at
this time any of the plans being con
sidered by the commltees in their de
liberation. Chairman Henry Hahn, of the open
river committee, said when asked about
the business and plans of the commit
tee, that as yet It had done nothing of
a definite nature, and until such action
had been taken it would hurt the pro
ject to inform the public what was in
contemplation. Plans are being consid
ered, however, any one of which would
do much to assist in the work of build
ing the road, and as soon as the best
of the lot has been picked out definitely,
the committee will make its work
known and commence an active cam
paign for the accomplishment of its
purpose.
Tho committees will have another
meeting on Monday, at which time It is
probable that something may develop
of Interest to the cause, and which will
tend to open the matter to the public
With the State Commission nothing
is being done for the help of the road,
the efforts of that body being directed
towards the acquisition of the right of
way for the Celllo Canal. This work Is
practically done, however, and it is only
a question of a short time when the
Government will be in full possession
of the right to commence the construc
tion of the canal as planned.
The O. R. & N. has agreed to grant
to the Government all of the land de-
sired by the commission, and now held
by the company, that the law will al
low the Government to take, and the
matter will be decided at the next term
of court at The Dalles. The com
pany will make no defense when the
condemnation proceedings are com
menced, and will abide by the decision
of the court, thus evidencing by its at
titude Its spirit of friendliness and
fairness towards the project.
. Governor Chamberlain, in speaking of
the canal question, is of the opinion
that it will be but a short time until
the right of way is entirely in the
hands of the Government. The ques
tion of price between the owners of
the property Involved is settled, and all
that remains to be done is to take the
matter through the court to settle the
title In a formal way. This will be
done at the next term, and will be
quickly put through. When asked con
cerning the Portage road, the Governor
said:
"There is nothing new in regard to
the road, and as far as I know x It is
now resting In the same condition in
which It has been for some time past.
The commission is not considering the
matter at this time, but is working for
the right of way for the canal. That
question Is practically settled, and It
will be but a short time until tho Gov
ernment is In possession of the right to
commence the construction of the
canal."
BEAUTY IS UNPARALLELED.
William E. Curtis Says No Exposition
Ever Had Site Like Oregon's Fair.
"For scenic beauty, I have never seen
anything , like it as an Exposition site,"
said William E. Curtis, the famous news
paper correspondent, on his return from
the Lewis and Clark grounds yesterday.
Mr. Curtis has seen every exposition
of importance in the past 30 years, and
words of such high praise from him mean
a great deal.
"The sites of previous fairs like the
ones at Chicago, Paris and Buffalo, did
not compare with yours, and I consider

watching an Italian with an Immense
bunch of red, white and blue toy bal
loons. I hustled back to the office and
got in a column of early copy about
how that Dago let one of those an
archist babies have hold of his string
of balloons for a minute; how the lines
got tangled about" the tot's hand, and
how away went baby, soaring graceful
ly above the agonized crowd. 'Women
screamed and fainted strong men
shaken what's to be dono to bring
baby home from the ethereal blue? The
tumult reaches the ears of stout Karl
Baumenfatter, captain of the Anarchist
Shutzen Club, in the pavilllon where
he is drinking beer. Kacl rolls an eye
aloft, sees and comprehends. He drains
his glass deliberately, then, without
getting up, reaches his rifle on a neigh
boring chair, leans back against the
table, alms upward toward the infant
aeronaut.
" 'Crack!'
" 'The topmbst balloon was seen to
collapse. 'Crack' again, and the next
was smashed. The baby stopped as
cending and remained stationary, about
a thousand feet up. 'Crack' again and
the baby wavered. Another 'crack
and, gracefully and slowly, the baby
descended into the arms of Its distract

rifle back upon the chair, raised a fat
forefinger to the waiter and gruffly or
dered 'noch eins.
"My story ran something like that,
you know. Say, maybe you think It

C6TTO tell the truth," said Colonel
I 3ob Mitchell, "this didn't happen
'a few days ago,' for two reasons, to
wit: It occurred at night and it took
place before Harry Hogue became
Municipal Judge.
"Along about midnight three young
society fellows, wending their ways
homeward up Washington street, dis
covered, opposite the Perkins Hotel,
over a fancy-goods store, a sign which
announced that 'Mrs. Labowltch did
business at that point. In those ante-Russo-Jap
days that name sounded odd
ly when repeated by one of the trio.
Suddenly, with one accord, in fine con
cert pitch, the three all good singers
struck up:
" 'Labowltch ahoy! Labowltch ahoy!'
And they sent the old "Larboard Watch
below the hatches. It was one of the
most aptly ridiculous instances of

that the Exposition company has an un
precedented opportunity. I am impressed
with the wisdom the management has dis
played In deciding for quality rather than
quantity in the matter of exhibits. Fairs
have grown too big. The ones at Chi
cago, Paris and at St. Loui were over
done. A3 I understand it, the Lewis and
Clark Fair will be a display of choice
exhibits 'rather than a vast accumulation
of good, bad and. Indifferent. The water
front will give an opportunity for some
thing distinctive and more marvellously
beautiful than anything ever before of
fered visitors to such events. I shall
write something about it and will be here
next year to attend the Exposltion."'
Mr. Curtis and his family left for Cal
ifornia last night, and after a few days
spent in San Francisco and along the
Southern coast, will go to their home
In Washington City.
MAIL "SERVICE SUITS ALL.
East SIders Get Mall Earlier Through
Restoration of Station A. .
Clerk J. W. Singletary will open Sta
tion A, 131 Grand avenue, this morning,
between 10 and 11 o'clock, for the bene
fit of the business men who want to get
their mall. This was the practice in the
old station, and its loss was one of the
causes which led to the agitation -for
restoration of Station A.
The service from the new station has
given satisfaction. B. N. Brannlck, of
Studebaker Bros. Company, Northwest,
called at tho station yesterday and as
sured Clerk Singletary that the mail ser
vice since last Monday, the day tho sta
tion was reopened, had been most excel
lent. It was mainly through the work' of
Mr. Brannlck that tho station was re
stored. The business men now get their
California malls by 8 o'clock, which had
never before been delivered so early. The
two carriers make two deliveries in tho
forenoon and one In the afternoon, which
is all they can d.o in eight hours with
the amount of mail they havo to handle.
Mails arrive at the station seven times
during the day, at 6:30, 9, 12:30, 2:10, 3:30
and 5:30, and the wagon makes another
trip later.
The early morning delivery Is especially
satisfactory to business houses. On the
California trains the mall3 are distrib
uted ready for the station. ,
CLASH OVER TAXES.
City and County Officials Quarrel
Over MHwaukie Collections.
'The clash between the city of MHwaukie
