S. P. R. TRAIN WRECKED
Dentate; EooBery Supposel . tO-Haye

THE TRACK WAS BADLY TORN UP.
Fortunate However From the Fact That
No One Was Killed.
MESSEXCER APPIEOATE'S ESCAPE.
LocomotlTS Upside Down Luckily tbe
Right Side Mall Car Telescoped.
Fire Broke Oat. -
Portland, April 30. Passenger, ex-
press, mail and baggage from the north
bound S. P. R. train which was wrecked
north of Myrtle creek station yesterday
morning, reached here this a. m. Pas
sengers gratefully expressing themselves
that they were fortunately saved from
death. The wreck was a deliberately
planned one. Two heavy ties had been
placed crosswise of the rails, and stuck
under the ties in the main track so as to
clear the pilot. It must have been done
by some one who understood how to
place the ties so as to prevent the cow
catcher from throwing them off. The
engine was turned bottom side up, and
Engineer Morris, who jumped, was badly
cut about the head and face. Fireman
Galling had a leg broken and was con
siderably bruised otherwise. The mail
car was telescoped, but the clerk escaped
any injury. Fire broke out in the mail
car at once, but the agent, with the as
sistance of the passengers, succeeded in
extinguishing it before 'much' damage
was done. All the letters were saved,
but the paper mail was nearly all des
troyed. None of the passengers were
injured. The locomotive was thrown to
the right of tbe track, which was most
fortunate, as on the opposite side there
is a steep bank sloping to the river, and
if the train bad gone over the bank, the
loss of life would have been fearful.
The track was torn up badly for 200
feet. There is no clue to the perpetra
tors. Robbery is supposed to have been
the object, but it was given up, perhaps
because the train did not leave the track
as the murderous wreckers had designed.
The postal cleric escaped unnurt by a
miracle. He was in the back end of tbe
cartieingup the Roseburg mail. Ex
press Messenger Applegate,. who waa
standing before the desk when the crash
came, seized the rods overhead and
swung himself off the floor. ' The freight
was all thrown into the front of the car,
The messenger would have been killed
sure if he had stayed on the floor.
Blood Curdling- Reports Expected.
Pabis, April 30. In spite of the asser
tions of Paul Lefargue, the workingmen's
deputy, that if the socialists do not carry
the day at the municipal elections they
will at least cut a prominent figure ; that
it is not the intention of the socialists to
resort to violence to attain their ends ;
that they will remain within the law,
and whatever manifestations that they
may make will be of a. purely peaceful
character ; there is a dread apprehension
that within the next three days from
this there will be some blood curdling
reports from, this city. .Socialists are
certain of majorities in several places;
and Culine, who is now undergoing
long term of imprisonment for unlawful
acts at Fourmies,' will be selected mayor
of that town. Jules Guesde, chief of the
Guesdist division of the socialist party,
in reply to questions as to what was
proposed to be done in Paris, said :
do not know wnat tne . luture nas in
store for us. The party -may have to re
sort to force if it does not obtain what it
considered its rights by peaceful proceed
ings, and there will be nothing in that.
Every form of government in France for
the last century found its birth in vio
lence, and a disregard for the established
law." Though the authorities bave re
peatedly said no trouble was anticipated
in this city, they nevertheless are taking
tbe most extensive precautions to re
press disorders on May day. Tbe manag
ers of the large English and American
shops near tbe - tirana opera nave re
ceived threatening letters declaring that
every house house not French will be
blown up. ' . ' . -. - .
Beeeption Postponed.
Paris, April 29. Owing to the fear
caused by the recent explosions, the
police have dissuaded Monroe, , the
American banker, in whose Custody the
Irish funds are placed, from 'giving a in
ception at his residence on the Champs
d Elysees on the ground that a magis
trate resided in the same house, and the
anarchists might seize the opportunity
to wreck the building with dynamite,
and cause a terrible loss of life. At a
meeting of the cabinet today, President
Cainot said he approved the plan of
making the most stringent measures to
preserve order on May day. . " v .
A Burning Mountain.
Ventura, Cal., April 30. A high
mountain, overlooking Las Posas, is
evidently undergoing the preliminary
internal work of a volcano. A peculiar
odor, as of burning sulphur mixed "with
asphaltum, ' pervades ; the . atmosphere
and gives a faint idea of Dante's Inferno.
The ground is hot, and resembles the
covering of a smoldering fire. An "at
tempt has been made to dig down into
this covering, but the workers went no
farther than a foot or two, as the heat
became too intense. There does not ap
pear to be any fissures for the fumes to
come out of, and from its appearance it
would uot require much excavation to
strike the source of the phenomenon.
A Murder Confessed.
Wilkesbaree, Pa., April 29. A sen
sation was caused here yesterday by the
confession of Samuel Shiner, of Sugar
Loaf, near Hazel ton, of complicity in
the murder of the two Kester brothers
for $2000, at Seybertsville, Pa., in 1886.
The murder was a most mysterious one,
and it was not until last October that a
clew was found. This led to the arrest
of Henry Higgins, Joseph Evaland and
Joseph Gallagher. A few days ago
Shiner was taken very sick, and believ
ing that he was dying he confessed that
he was one of the Kester murderers.
'I went to the house with Joe Evaland,"
he said, "and also two men named
Kurikle and Christensen. I stood out
side while they went in. Evaland shot
William Kester and the others clubbed
John Kester to death. Then we divided
the spoils." ' He does not implicate
Gallagher and Higgins, who are now in
prison. Shiner will be' arrested as soon
as he recovers, for' the physicians say he
will be all right again in a few days.
Vanderbllt's Palace.
Newport, . R. I., April 30. W. K.
Vanderbilt's marble palace at this place,
Marble House, is constructed entirely of
marble, and will surpass anything of the
kind in the country, and will not be ex
celled by any of tbe famous old bronzes
of Europe. The design is French, of the
period of Louis the XIV, and is ex
tremely chaste and beautiful. The ex
terior work is solid bronze, and the
interior is a duplicate of the exterior in
wrought iron. The doors, or grilles as
they are technically termed, will cost
more than $50,000. They are twenty-
five feet in width by eixteen . feet in
height, weigh nearly twenty tons, .and
fifty men have been at work on them for
a year. I he portico is supported by
enormous marble columns, and is ap
proached by a gracefully winding drive
way, rising from the street at a consider
able grade..
A Grimm Old Miser.
Parkertown, N. J., April 30. The
old miser, Christian ; Grimm, whose
death in rags occurred here yesterday,
leaves property valued at $60,000. But
few people had any idea that the old
man was worth any such amount, as he
appeared on the streets" in poor, and
generally soiled ; clothes. Several years
ago Grimm sent to Germany for his
sister to come over and keep bouse for
him, bringing with her a daughter about
sixteen years of age. Grimm treated
them shamefully from the start. Before
long the girl was taken sick ' and died.
She was shortly followed to her grave by
her mother. Both deaths, it is believed,
were hastened by ; Grimm's jrefusal to
buy proper food for the sick ones
Grimm left no will, and according to the
New Jersey laws, if no heir is found, the
property will be divided between the
stale and Middleton township.
. Belief of tho Distressed.
Corpus Cbristi, Tex.', April 29. The
distribution of food sent from this sec
tion to famine suffeiers on the Rio
Grande city section began yesterday,
when rations were Issued to 500 people,
some of whom were actually starving.
Unless further assistance is soon had,
many sufferers will die. . The greatest
distress is reported' from the country
back from the Rio Grande, where there
are many people who had hundreds of
cattle, before the drouth, but are now
destitute, their stock having died.

THE AliCREOATIOS 8PKEA11 ITSELF
A Possible Show for the Agents of the
Government to Get in and do
Likewise.
Detroit, April 29. The woods are
full of-Chinese over in Canada. It is
said tbe denizens of the Flowery King
dom, in large numbers, are' dodging be
hind trees and hiding in sequestered
nooks, ready to make a break for the
United States the minute the clock
strikes 12 on the night of 3d. They
all firmly believe that on May 4th the
Chinese exclusion act will expire, and
they hope to slip into tbe United States
before the law now under consideration,
in congress can be put into effect. This
numerous aggregation has consequently
spread itself out along the border all the '
way from here to Vancouver, and is only
biding its time to get into this great
republic. Detroit, however, seems to be .
the most favorable point at which the
Celestials can cross the border, for it is
the city most adjacent to Chicago,
whither nearly all of them seem to be
bound. ' Because of this fact, Detroit has
always been a favorite port at which to ;
land after the trip through Canada from
the Pacific, and, although there are no
statistic to prove it, it is undisputed
that more Chinese have been smuggled 4
across the Detroit river,, at various
points, than at any other place in the .
country. Capt. Pratt, special treasury
agent, says the Chinese are avoiding
Windsor, because they know they will
be closely watched there. The border is
as closely guarded as it can be by the
small force stationed here. There is
more chance of the Chinese trying to
cross Marine city, or the month of the,,
river, than at Detroit.
The Lint Duel.
New York, April 30. Yesterday an
other duel was reported "between Mill- -bank
and a Frenchman," as the out
come of the Dray ton-Borrowe- scandal.. "
Later report confirms the fact. The
Frenchman was the Due de Moray, who
was wounded and may not recover. It .
is thought Millbank had no intention of -killing
the duke. On the other hand, it
is said, De Moray aimed for Millbank's
head, intending to kill him, and missed,
only by a hair's breadth. -.
Somebody. Pinched.
London, April 28. Large sale of
American railroad securities in the last
day or two indicated that somebody is
in difficulty, but the brokers are unable
to ascertain whether the parties are in
side or outside of the stock exchange.
It ia supposed that whoever it was man
aged to get assistance, as the settlement .
closed without a failure.- A decidedly
better feeling now prevails, and business ;
for the new account is brisker. -
Emln Fasha Still Hres. .
Zanzibar, April 29. Ad vices from' the
interior of Africa say that Dr. Stuhl
manh, who was with the detachment of
Emin Pasha's expedition,' last reported
marching on Bukoba, reached that place
February 15. The march from Wadelai
to Bukoba was greatly hindered by fam
ine and disease. Emin Pasha is report
ed ill, and is following Stuhlmann from
Wadelai by easy stages. ' ' .' .
Disgraceful Troops. . .
London, April 29. A dispatch from
Peshawar, India, says the troops of
the ameer of Afghanistan acted outrage
ously, respecting neither party ' nor
womankind. The men of three villages
attacked, ' and severely defeated the
troops, who, at last reports, were hold
ing out against, annihilation behind bar-,
ri cades. Reinforcements are being hur
ried forward to theif aid.
