UNPAID EMPLOYES.
The Oregon Pacific Road Six Months
Kehlnd on Salaries.
' Albany, Or., Aug.. 5. The trouble be
tween the Oregon Pacific railroad. and
its employes, on account of the non-payment
of the men, ie assuming serious
proportions. About two weeks ago a
committee of the employes waited upon
Manager William H. Hoag, at Corvallia,
and explained to him that they could
not work any longer without pay, the
company being six months behind in the
payment of all the employes. Manager
Hoag promised to do all in his power to
pay the men by August 1st, or August
3d at th fartberet. He has, however,
gone to San Francisco, the 3d of August
is poet, and the men. have received, no
money. A meeting of the employes at
Yaquiha was held Monday evening, and
today a committee came to this city to
act with a committee from the employes
in Albany and on the eastern division.'
Their purpose is to procure legal advice
and ascertain if their wages can be col
lected by law. District Judge Pipes, of
Corvallia, before whom the matter
would regularly come, has left Corvallis
and gone to Chicago, to be gone several
weeks. The comraitte of empjoves
stated to a reporter this evening that
the men will use every honorable means
to collect their wages, and if they can
not they will dim ply all quit work,
which would mean the stopping of
trains and traffic over the entire length
of the road. The men are quiet, cour
teous and faithful employes. The
trouble is tbev have simplv worked as
lone as they can without pay. Some of
them have spent all the money they
possess, and they have all agreed to act
together. It will not be. a strike, for
there is no dissatisfaction to occasion
one. The amount due the men for six
months is about $5,0U0. . The road is
earning more than enough to pay all its
expenses, and the employes expect, in
event of the company not paying, to "se
cure an order of court for a receiver to
apply the earnings of the road to the
payment of employes, which would pre
vent any tie up. Traffic over: the road
now is brisk, and the stopping of trains
could only be temporary, as the amount
lost thereby would be more than is due
the men.
IMPORTANT TARIFF DECISION.
Ohio Grower Win a Point In Regard to
Importation of Sorted Wools.
New York, Aug. 5. rThe board of
general appraisers today rendered an
important decision on the construction
of paragraph 183 of the new tariff act,
which recently become a subject of con
troversy between the wool-growers of
Ohio and the carpet manufacturers of
New England. The decision is that
'.'sorting classes" referred to in paragraph
183 apply to all wools, including wool of
the third class. Sorting is herein de
fined by the statute to be the process of
separating, which increases the value of
imported wool by rejection of part of
the original tleece. ine pnrase, -ssnaii
be twice dntv to which in (wool or hair)
would be otherwise subjected, means
that the duty on sorted wools when sep
arated (otherwise than as to color) and
increased in value, shall be twice the
dutv to which the fleece in an unsorted
condition shall be liable. "Sorting" or
manipulation of wools made with intent
to evade lawful duties is a fraud on the
law, and subjects the merchandise to the
penal duties imposed, the Doard reverses
the collector's decision in both of the
cases nnder consideration.
Charges of Corruption.
Ottawa, Ont., Aug.. 5. There was a
biz row in the senate today when the
Baie Des Challeurs railway bill came
ap. Counsel representing the estate of

$100,000 was devoted to political pur
poses, lie was proceeding to say that
an additional $75,000 was given for some
other purpose, but a hubbub in the
committee cut him short. It was deci
ded to postpone final action on the bill,
which has already passed the commons,
until the statement made by the coun
sel be investigated.

Freight
Breaks
Train on the West Shore
in
Two and is Run Into
by a Passeager,
Causing Loss of Life to a Brakenian
and Ten Italians Seventeen
Others Injured.
Syracuse, Aug. 6. This morning a
freight train On the West Shore railroad
going west broke in two between Port
Byron and Montesuma and the fast train
following crushed into: the rear. A
brakenian and ten Italians en route to
Niagra Falls in the smoking car were
killed and seventeen others in the same
car were injured. Some of them will
probably die. The sleeping cars were
burned and it is supposed that' nearly
all of the passengers were rescued. The
injured were brought here and are being
cared for. Among the injured w :s a
member of an opera company who died
on the way here, the trainmen say
more were killed in the wreck. Physi
cians and others were sent out from
Syracuse, Anburn, Montesuma and Port
Byron. . The scene at the wreck was a
terrible one.
Twelve freight cars were completely
demolished and hardly a whole pitece of
timber was left in the smoking car in
which the Italians were. The wreck
took place and the passenger train was
burned with the exception of three
sleeping cars. None of the passengers
in the sleeping cars were injured.
Two of the injured have since died,
making the number of fatalities twelve.
There is no doubt but that the accident
is the result of the negligence of the con
ductor of the freight train to send back
a flagman.

Who Shot Broker Dixon?
San Fba-cihco, Ane. 5. Chief of
Police Crowley has detailed Detective
Rogers to investigate the case of John
E. Dixon, the stockbroker, whose re
mains were found on the beach below
the Cliff house Sunday, and who it was
supposed drowned himself while des
pondent because of financial reverses.
Some of his friends now state he was
possessed of a considerable sum in checks
and coin when last seen, and express
the oninion his death is the result of
foul play. Dixon was a member of the
old stock board, and in the balmy days
of Con. Virginia and California is re
ported to have amassed a fortune. Of
recent years, however, bad speculation
and heavy losses in stocks ire said to
have almost reduced him to poverty.
Police Surgeon Williams made an au
topsy on the remains of Dixon, and de
clares that death was due to submersion
and that the wounds on the body had
been inflicted after death. The theory
of murder has been abandoned by the
police, who belives that Dixon com
mitted suicide.
