AWFUL CRIME.
Father Ruined His Own Daughter
at Ballard, Wash.
SEATTLE, Not. .-Word ha been re
ceived here of a frightful crime perpe
trated by a father upon hi own daugh
ter at Ballard, In this state. Marlon
Crisp, 17 rear ot age, is the victim. She
nocuses her father of being responsible
for her being about to become a mother.
The father, Philip Crisp, fled before the
extent of his guilt became known. He
is -feeing- sought all over the Western part
of this state. The girl is an orphan, her
mother being dead.
The crime became known by the girl
leavtng home and refusing to have any
thing further to do with her unnatural
parent. She sought shelter with neigh
bors and told them her story. The father
tried first by persuasion and then by
fore to compel hi daughter to return
home, but on leaiing that she had di
vulged his dime and upon being accused
of It, he Immediately left for parts un
known, after addressing a letter to the
pastor of the Free Methodist Church at
Ross, of which denomination he was a
most sealous member, In which he stated
that he had gone away to die.
An uncle of the girl, John Crisp, living
In Ross, tried to get possession of the
house and was about to remove the fur
niture when be was stopped by Marshal
Hunt, who locked the house, keeping the
key. The uncle informed Marshal Hunt
that he and his wife, after praying over
the matter for two hours, had concluded
to take the furniture and take charge of
his niece; but she refused to go with
him, for she said he would not treat her
well. He advised the neighbor who had
taken pity upon the deserted glrf to kick
her out.
Great Indignation I expressed among
the neighbors over the matter and should
Crisp return to Ballard . .Jlttle mercy
would be shown him. Crisp Is a man of
medium height, sandy hair and mus
tache, blue eyes and is it years old. He
is a well-known character in Ballard,
having often been seen on the streets in
company with the Free Methodists sing
ing and praying. Marlon has been an at
tendant at the Ballard school.
NEWS OF THE
LABOR WORLD
What Portland Workers Are Doing
for Their Advancement.
The Electrical Workers met last night
and held a very interesting meeting.
There were about 80 members in attend
ance. Three new candidates were in
itiated into the union and two applica
tions were received. A communication
was read stating that the Seattle union
and the Sunset Telephone Company had
arrived at a satisfactory agreement by
which the men. are allowed $3.(0 for an
8-hour day, all that they demanded. A
committee from the Bartenders' League
was admitted and its members tirged the
electricians to Insist upon all bartenders
waiting on them to show their union
cards. They explained that It Is the only
way to make their organisation strong
and effective.
O. Y. Harvey, and G. B. Thomas at
tended a meeting last evening of the Re
tail Butchers' Association, and discussed
with Its members the new agreement
which had been prepared by the Amalga
mated Meat Cutters' Union. They were
given a very cordial reception. The re
lations existing between the two organ
isations are of the most, pleasant nature,
and the Indications are that a settlement
between the employers and the union
will soon be effected. Both Interested
parties will appoint committees for hold
ing a conference in the near future, when
it is believed that all differences wilt be
brushed aside.
The labor leaders In Portland are very
muoh gratified at the result of the Cali
fornia election. They look upon the suc
cess of Llvernash and Wynn, who were
nominated by organised labor of San
Francisco for Congress, to h of more
than passing Importance to unionism all
over the United States. They state that
the election of these two Congressmen by
unionists points the way and Illustrates
to working people the power o,f the fran
chise, and will be a valuable object les
son to organized labor, not only on the
Paclflo Coast, but throughout the entire
country. They are also Jubilant over the
victory of W. R. Hearst who was elected
to Congress from New York.
George E. Bhaver, a member of Tie
Painters' Union and foreman of the
picture-framing department at Meier &
Frank's, has been appointed to succeed
William H; Barry, who resigned as sec
retary of. the StateFede.ration of labor.

FRANCHISES
ARE GRANTED
Council Disposes of Three of the
Measures.
THE LONG STRUGGLE ENDED
A Dozen or More Arc Yet to Be
Considered.
Three railway franchises were granted
by the Common Council yesterday. But
the public must not get the idea that
they are to hear no more about fran
chises, -for there are more than a bak
er'r doze'n of them on file to be consid
ered as soon as the street committee
gets ready to take them up.
Those adopted yesterday was one to
the Portland City Railway Company to
Portland Heights, known as the Ford
street franchise; one to the Portland
Water. Power & Railway Company to
Sell wood; one to the Northern Pacific
Railway Company, to lay a side track
on Front street.
All three of the franchises had been
so thoroughly considered and discussed
in committee meetings that there was
nothing left to talk about when they
came"up for final passage, and they were
adopted without a dissenting vote. The
council has had a long struggle over
these frnnchlses, especially the Ford
street franchise, as this one will be the
basis on which the others Will be con
sidered. The length of time of the fran
chises, amount of compensation, mainte
nances of roadway and otner matters
having been settled, the future of those
yet to be taken up does not look so dark
and gloomy.
PORTLAND RAILWAY COMPANY.
The Portland City Railway Company
alone has seven more franchises which
have been Introduced In the council on
which the company Is anxious for speedy
action. One Is known as the Irvlngton
line, one to the Alblna district, one on
East Davis and East Sixteenth streets,
one on East Pine, Twentieth and Taylor

The bridge on I'nlon avenue, over Sul
livan's Gulch, Is getting to be In a dan
gerous condition, und it will not be long
before the authoritW s will be compelled
to fetfee it up. The bridge Is used by
the Portland Railway Company for Its
Vancouver-Woodlawn branch.
H Is the only bridge at present that
spans Sullivan's Gulch that has not been
closed. The Grand avenue structure over
the gulch was closed some time' ago, as
were the Kast Twelfth und East Twen
tieth street" bridges.
Bl'CHTKL I RGES ACTION.
If the I'nlon avenue roadway Is closed
there will be no way for Kast Siders to
travel from the Northern tothe South
ern portion of the city unless they cross
the river to the Weet Side. Joseph Buch
te'l, a prominent resident, says:
"There certainly should be something
done In this elevated roadway matter.
The Grand avenue bridge should be re
placed with a steel truss structure at
once, because It will only bo a very short
time before the rnlon avenue roadway
will be declared dangerous. The bridges
over the gulch are very high, and If
some Accident should happen it will be
a very costly otie for the city."

There Is bound to be an advance In pi
ano prices, owing to the fact that railroad
companies have Increased the freight
rates very materially, and on account of
the greatly Increased manufacturing cost
through higher wages of experienced pi
ano workmen - - .
Eilers Piano House secured the bulk of
this year's supply of pianos during the
dull summer months, shipping them dur
ing the then prevailing low freight rates
prior to October 1. and Is therefore In a
position to give buyers the advantage of
all these tremendous savings thus effect
ed. But as all good things come to an
end, so these conditions must end sooner
or lalter, and for this reason it will cer
tainly pay to purchase a piano now.

A petition signed by U. ' W, Corbett,
Charles E. Ladd, C, W. Nottingham, B.
M. Lombard, Lane Jt Ce.t. Mason, Khr
man A Co., Allen eV Lewi. J." C. Alns
worth and about Ws others, wa pre
sented to the Board ot County Commis
sioners yesterday asking that a county
road be established from Tklrvlew to
the Columbia River. T. Scott Brooke, in
presenting the petition . to the commis
sioners, said that the O. 1ft. ft N. Co.
discriminated against Falrview by charg
ing the sams freight rate from Portland
to Fairview as It did from "Portland to
The Dalles. If the road asked for was
built it would give the. people river com
petition and a ferry would be operated
across the river to La Camas and the
Washougal country. He argued that If
that was done people in that section
would come to Portland to lade instead
of going to Vancouver. Mr. Brooke said
he owned L900 acres along the line of the
proposed road and that he would give the
right of way.
The proposed road will be about a mile
and a half long and will -be quite ex
pensive to construct The board,, will look
into the matter.

so far as to put doctors, lawyers, and

the effect of creating a stampede to the
