Mr. John Fitzgerald's little two year
old boy was, yesterday .lifted on the horns
of a vicious cow and tossed into the air.
While considerable shaken up, it is for
tunate the child was not "seriously Injur
ed. The melancholy brindle cow that has
been confined for nearly a week in the
Saltmarsh calaboose, charged with hav
ing grand larcenied A. G. Johnson's corn
patch was fined four dollars and sold to
W. H. Lochhead. It is supposed Mr.
Loch head bought her for. her rustling
qualities. In this respect she has the
record and pedigree of a thoroughbred.
Wesley Howard, a young man, well
known in the Tygh Ridge country, was
biften, Saturday last, on the hand by a
rattle snake. Dr. Vanderpool, of Duf ur,
was promptly called in but by
' the time the doctor got to his
patient it took three persons to hold
him in the bed. ' The doctor administer
ed an antidote that put the young man
into a sleep that lasted all night and he
was able to lie around yesterday.
Friday night last, at about 11:30
o'clock, as conductor Ben Emerick
started on his first trip, after a pro
tracted spell of sickness, he met with an
accident by which he lost his little finger
and first joint of the thumb of his left
hand and otherwise had the flesh of
both sides of his hand badly torn. He
was getting off of the top of a freight car
at East Portland when the top found of
, the ladder gave way and he fell . to the
'4 ground with the above result. Ju'sthuw
his hand got mashed we have been un
. able to learn.

railroad, came up Saturday night and
will return to the Cascades tonight. He
informs us that' the eastern end of the
track is nearly finished and that the
whole track, with the exception of tres
tle work at the western terminus, will
be laid this week. Mr. Farley still in
sists that everything will be iu readi

stock can possibly get here.

can beat Train anyway. Today he is

has a marvelous gift of ubiquity or a
vivid imagination, or both, but in any
event George Francis had better pull in
his sign.
A Chinaman named Na.Auie was
brought down from Celilo last night,
charged with "assault with intent to
kill." The complaining witness is no
less a personage than the Earl of Taffe,
himself, on whom, the subject of the
Flowery Kingdom drew a butcher knife
that appeared to Mr. Taffe to be about
six feet long, long enough at any rate to
superinduce a race for life, on the part
nf Mr. Taffe. over hia whole earldom .
" Mr. Taffe avows that while he has been
a South American guerilla, and a con-,
federate bushwhacker he never fled from
the face of mortal man before. The
Chinaman will have his preliminary ex
a intrusion this afternoon before Justice

The annual picnic of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers took place yes
terday and was a - quieand. enjoyable
affair as .became the tinie and' place. At
9:00 o'clock a. m. the strain,- consisting
of three cars and a caboose, comfortably
filled, but by no means crowded, started
from the Umatilla house for Bonnyville,
where it was metlby; taiiLlfroiji;. IJpjrt-
land consisting of six cars and a caboose,
filled in a similar manner, so that the J
whole nttnifber of picnicers numbered
about 600 persons. The -Dalles train
made the trip in two hours, arriving a
few minutes before the Portland train,
and confirming the remark of a Dalles
enthusiast,- to the effect that "The
Dalles" always gets there first." Reader,
did you ever'ride on the pilot of an en
gine? If you have you will know the
treat that was enjoyed by Messrs. A. W.
Fee, J. F. Haworth, Will Graham, the
drum major and yours truly. To the
writer it was hovel, exciting and , enjoy
able to a degree. Will Graham pur
loined a cushion from the caboose that
afforded a soft comfortable seat for two,
the rest squatted on their haunches, and
thus we rode from Wyeth to Bonney-
ville. Wheu the Portland train arrived
the- Third ....regiment band,. - gathered

up a iiivrry buuo, aiili tuc.-arot i b-
m"ark;ttat . fell from the lips of the Port
landers as they took in the situation was
"O look at the drum major." Soon the
crowd scattered here and there; some
went wandering . with their "wives or
sweethearts through the shady groves,
some went fishing, others hurried to
drink the delicious water, others lay
down prone : beneath the" spreading
branches of the trees. It was a perfect
day, and Bonneyville with a little w.orky
could be' made a perfectly delightful
.place to hold a summer picnic. ; There
were no games or sports of any kind, if
we except an " after dinner dance, that
lasted less than an hour; and every-'
one was left to spend the time ai- suited
hia or her own fancy. Nothing passed to
mar the pleasing quietude of the day.
One or two gamblers of the tin-horn,
shell variety, came up from Portland
but they found no field for operation and
soon gave up iu disgust. Fishing was
hardly a success, if one is to judge from
Engineer Brown, whom the scribe met
returning ' from the creek. "Where's.,.
your fish George?" asked the ; writer.
'Oh I only caught one" - said George,
"but somebody, unbeknown to me, had
greased the hook and it slipped off." A
very excellent dinner was served at the
hotel by mine host Billy ; Robinson, of
which as many as four or !five hundred
must have partaken. The Portland
train started back at 4:30 and ten min
utes after, we too, were on the way to
The Dalles. One incident of the return
trip is worth mentioning. A young
gentleman of the city was seated beside
his best girl, as the train entered the
first tunnel. He undoubtedly wanted, a
kiss as the sequel proved, but he was too
slow about it, for just as he had got his
arm comfortably round her neck the
light streamed in from the other end of
the tunnel. It was provoking, of course,
and he determined to remedy the matter
in the next tunnel, which is a little
longer, but alas for the best laid plans of
of mice and men ; just as he was im the
act of saying yum yum, a matron who
evidently bad been there herself, struck
a match, and gave the whole snap away 1
The train arrived in The Dalles a little
before 7 :00 and if there was anyone who
did not enjoy the day as a whole, the
writer did not happen to meet him.
-If half the stories told about the im
pounding of cattle are true the matter
requires to be looked into ty the city
officials. : Mr. John Pashek makes no
no bones of stating that this morn
ing about 7 :30 o,clock, while his cow was
drinking at the crossing of Mill -creek,
next to the Odd Fellows' cemetery, and
in charge of a boy who was taking her
out to pasture, she was forcibly taken
from the boy and driven below the bluff,
so that, as Mr. Pashek -alleges, she might
be impounded when the hour of 9 o'clock
would arrive. Mr. Carl Burchtorf is
equally positive that a few days ago he
saw a person gather up a bunch of town
cows that were feeding out at the Catho
lie cemetery, and wholly outside the city
limits, and bring them into, town for
impoundment. We give these stories
as we have heard them from the lips of
the men named. If they are true, and
the men who tell them are our best citi
zens and of known veracity, they re
quire to be looked into.
A gentleman from the Cascades, whom
the Chnonicle reporter, met at the pic
nic yesterday, in answer to the Inquiry,
"How are the government works pro
gressing at -the Locks?" said; "More
work has been done and more real prog
ress made during the past six months,
than ever took place in the same length
of time before. . The masonry on the
south side of the lower gate is all fin
ished but the coping,'and it is the finest
piece of work I ever saw." Further in
quiry elicited the following : At present
fifty stone cutters are employed, about
fifty laborers and twenty more who are
working in the quarry. Soon the water
will be low enough to allow the canal to
be pumped out and then the work will
begin on the north side of the gate.
After the gate is finished, work can go
on at any stage of water.

assay office at Boise City for a single day

The story of Mrs. Gardner, the poor
womah who, with her twochildren, one
of them qillte sick, was' shipped by the
citizens of Portland to this place a few
days ago, and from here furnished trans
portation to Pendleton," ia a peculiarly
hard one. We refer to it again to show
the Christian charity of Portland for the
poor and destitute. The woman's story
was well known in Portland, for it was
fully published in the Oregonian. It
was known she had not a penny in the
world, and it ought to have been - known
that she was even , without a change of
clothing for herself '6rC children. At
any rate all she vhad in the
world, in that t;,?in'e;'"Jwhen she
got to The Dalles ' was a' little old
rag of a shawl. But Portland fiad ..done
her duty. 1 She had contributed 3,55 for
Mrs. Gardner's fare to The Dallea.-and
whatever it cost the two children' -be
sides. And this was the extent of . heri
Christian charity. Mrs. Gardner was'
only a pauper whom nobody owns, so
they got rid of her as quickly as possi
ble. Here, however, she' fared better,
how much better we need not tell Port
land, but besides the pecuniary help she
obtained, we have seen, . what, in some
respects was better still, . the big scalding
tears gather in the eyes of those" who
heard her sorrowful story or. attempted,
to tell , jt to. .o.thers.. She got help and
sympathy here;, she got $3.55 in Port
land.

publish it. A private letter from Cap

At the Cascades, yesterday the Chbon
icle reporter saw the familiar faces of a
number of Dalles folks who are .camp
ing, we believe on Herman Creek. The
party consists, in part, of Mr. and Mrs,
J. L. Story and family, Mr. Frank Shon
tell and Mr. T. P. Crum. Last week
they had visitors from T!- e Dalles in the
persons of Misses Glenn and Rowland.
Fishing is good, for a party of five of
them caught 175 trout in a few hours
last Friday. They are all enjoying
themselves immensely, and living on
the very fat of the land. The younger
generation of the male persuasion do the
foraging, and to keep their hands in
practice, they buy their neighbors chick
ens on the range and then raid the
chicken houses at night. The boys are
honest, for the pay for all they steal before-hand,
and they have all the fun of
chicken stealing without the sin It is a
new game and beats drive whist all to
pieces. But one of the party lost his
hat the other night and hereby hangs
a tale which the Chbonicle may tell
some other day.
Among many comments made on
Major Handbury's report as published
yesterday, showing the splendid snccess
of the jetty, one man very aptly said:
"I wasn't surprised at the result, for I
expected that, but I am filled with as
tonishment' that the work is going to be
done for considerable less than the ori
ginal estimate. This is the first instance
of the kind, on record, that I know any
thing about,, where government work
didn't exceed the amount originally rec
ommended." Antorian.
"Did you ever go up in a balloon?"
"Once." "What were your sensations?"
"Oh, same as usual. I wanted the
earth." Harper's Bazaar. ,

;.iP5BJ?IB; Repylnjr to your request for u statement of the facts concerning my 'experience
!. ne Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York in their lute settlement with me, I woul.
state that in the early part of 1881, my age being 50 years, I took out a Ten-Payment Life Policy im
the Equitable upon their Ten-Year Tontine flan, for 40,00u. My premiums during the perio.
amounted to 137,512.00. . The Tontine period expired early in January of the present year, and the
Company then offered me the following terms of settlement; . ,

-And cash 9,75160

THIRD Surrender my policy, and receive in cash 36,496 80
policy and take the cash, they finally instructed me
for the amount. $3f..496.80. to their Rbire uiMiiiLirer in
I followed their instructions and sent the policy and receipt through my bank in Springrleld to our
correspondent in Cleveland, only to have it returned from the Cleveland Bunk with the information
thiit the State manager of the Equitable states that he "had not sufficient funds to meet it." This
forced me to return it to the New- York office, and compelled me to wait some twenty days afber
maturity before receiving final settlement. ,
I have given no statement endorsing the Equitable, or expressing my satisfaction with their
settlement with me. On the other hand I have positively refused to do so. The fact that my -.
turns were ?l,01.r.ao less than my total Investment renders- further comment unnecessary. .
During the time I carried the Equitable policy mid uo to the dv when they submitted the
above proposition to me. I was kept In total ig.ioraucsof trie condition"of my Investment.
In marked conrrubt with this lias been my experience with the Northwestern, in which in 1882,
I took a Ten-Year Endowment Policy, Ten-Year Tontine, for $10,OUO, that company having from
time to time furnished Jne with a memorandum of the surplus on my policv over the signature of
their actuary; so that while my policy has not yet matured, and will ujt until next year, I have
