The Outrageous .Death of Maiie Walsh to tie AyeiiEet. THE DEMON WHO DONE THE DEED. He Is Taken From the Oregon City Jail to Portland for Safety. THE LAW WILL TAKI ITS CfllRSE. On of the Meat KeiolUng Murder Modem Time., Charged Against , Oregoa. of Oregon, City, July 2. The fiend in human Bbape known as George Wilson, who was the fourth person arrested on suspicion of the outrage and murder of Mamie Walsh near Milwaukie, in this county, last week, although known posi tively to be guilty of the revolting crime by a chain of convincing circumstances and his own final confession, is permitted to live, and must go through, the formal ity of a trial before his miserable acts are avenged by his ignoble death at the end of a rope, at the expense of the peo ple, in accordance with the decrees of justice. Well it is that this figure of our American institutions, Justice, ap pears blindfolded before the eyes of the world. This demon hails from Iowa, and has been in this state about one month, but he has fixed upon Oregon one of the most revolting crimes of mod ern times. .The gentle victim of . his brutish passion is pounced upon while innocently picking berries in the vicinity of her home, and after being brutally outraged by the demon, her condition and resistehce has made it such that to escape from his criminal conduct, he adds murder, in the most outrageous form. His arrest on suspicion is fol lowed by an investigation which reveals circumstantial evidence of his guilt strong enough to convict him, and finally when he sees it is impossible to escape, in the hope of ameliorating the case against him confesses his crime in detail. The confession was obtained yesterday in jail in the presence of his brother Frank Wilson, Sheriff Samson, Joseph Purdom and C. H. Dye. ' It was taken down in writing and signed by Wilson. Subsequent to this confession Justice Fouts went to the jail and held the preliminary examination, C. II. Dye appearing for the state. After the read ing of the information he waived exami nation, and was held for the murder without bonds. The . trial ended at' 2 o'clock, and arrangements were imme diately made to take him to Portland by boat. He was hurried i;om the rear door of .the jail just before the boat landed from up the river, no one being aware either that be had confessed or of the intention to take Him away ; sotheie was no crowd present and but few spec tators to the removal. At 2 :35 he was hurried away in charge of officer Samson, Purdom and Morris. llalcota (vopheri. . Sanbobn, July 2. The gopher plague is becoming a serious one. Hundreds of the little rodents are making inroads on Barnes county .wheat fields, and if their career is not checked they are likely to cause serious damage.' to . the growing crops.' The extermination of gophers has been generally neglected during the last few years and now, a serious prob lem confronts farmers. . The county fur nishes poison free of charge to all far mers wishing it. .Telegraphic Flaahea.' x The republicans of Kansas nominated Smith for governor on the fifth ballot, Kobertf. Moore, of Butler county, was nominated for lieutenant-governor on the third ballot. British liberals contend that Glad stone has vindicated the right and ability of the common people of Great Britain to control and direct the affairs of the nation. The tories accuse him of raising a class issue and' pandering to the popu lar prejudice against the rich and titled, in-order to gratifying personal ambition, ior power.- . . " The Irish election rows are increasing in violence. The priests are taking prominent part on the anti-Parnellite Bide, as in the Kilkenny and Sligocon tests when Parnell was alive. This fact is being quoted in England to the disad vantage of the Irish cause,' and substan tiating the contention of the Dlster loyalists that home rule would mean government by the Catholic clergy. BOWX AT ASTORIA. Brilliant Frospeete in Store For Toe City by tit Sea. From the Astoiian. The construction' of the Astoria and Portland railroad is imparting new life to the districts which it will traverse. Capitalists are preparing schemes for the developem'ent of places around Astoria as well as those in the Nehalem valley. Mr. Ketchum and his associates have started the town of Milbarn in the Ne halem valley and expect to make it a busy centre for the lumber, business as well as for general trade. Messrs. Dwyer and Burke have acquired on satisfac tory terms control of the coal, and petro leum rights-at Vernonia. They have also a half interest in the town of Grand Rapids which occupies a fine location in the Nehalem valley. This townsite was selected some time ago by Mr. F. E. Habersham, the "eminent railroad en gineer, who is thoroughly conversant with the resources and needs of the valley. '" He visited New York recently with Mr. Dwyer'and presented favorably to capitalists the. undeveloped merits, of the country tributary to Astoria as a place for profitable investments. An other operation connected with the rail road is the purchase of Tanzy point by Mr. Dwyer and associates from Capt. Flavel for $350,000 . It is understood that Mr. Gosk has a high opinion of that important locality and that he regards favorably plans by which it will be connected with the Astoria and Portland railway, which will in turn find there an important out let for cultivating the export trade'of the vast country which the railroad will traverse. Capitalist s of great influence, as well as wealth, are interested with Mr. Dwyer in this enterprise, which in cludes control of 900 acres of terminal lands at Port' and and embraces plans that may lead to large investments . in and around Astoria, whose merits Mr. Dwyer has presented with much force and persistency. It is well known that Captain Flavel considers that he parted with the Tanzy point property too cheaply, and that if it were now in his hands he would ask a much higher sum. In addition to these important under takings which are designed to provide profitable opportunities for the invest ment of capital, other new enterprises are on foot. A hotel manager from Utah has offered to provide $100,000 for a new hotel in case the people of Astoria take a like amount in stock. Steps have been taken by Mr. W. H. Smith to start pottery works on a large scale. The city will assume ownership of the water works tomorrow and will have important improvements therein. - Mr.. Trullinger and associates will erect soon the finest electric light station house in the northwest. Buildings and exten tions involving a large outlay will be completed this season. . The shipping business of Astoria con tinues to make steady progress. The grain fleet this year will be the largest in number and tonnage that has ever visited the port. As soon as the. rail road is completed, to Portland steps will be taken to establish a steamship line to China and Japan. The improvements on the Columbia will give a strong im pulse to the river traffic. . Congress has made liberal provision for these works. In a recent speech Congressman Her mann said:- "Take notice now, that we shall yet prevail. A few years more and the waters of the Columbia, from the head of navigation to the sea shall Ik; free and unobstructed to transportation, and by the aid of the American con gress the voice of the people -shall pre vail over all monopoly and : individual greed." When the open river is an act ual fact no place will benefit more read ily than Astoria by the immense quan tity of gram that will come here direct from the wheat fields for shipment. A Little Complicated. Hartford, July 2. There were in teresting developments here today in the Chicago breach of promise suit of Jessie Hall againet James y. Paige, late of this city, in which the plaintiff claims $950,000 damages. One .George H. Ham ilton has appeared here and claims that he was married, to Jessie Hall .July 23, 1891, at Mattone, N. Y.' Hamilton says that Jessie's maiden name, was; Mollen hall and she is the "daughter of a' prelate at a monastery in Houston, Tex. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report mm.

A gang of men are busily at work since yesterday tea-ring down the convention wigwam and with in ten days all signs of the famous build ing where the stirring eloquence of many of the democracy's . greatest orators moved thousands to enthusiasm will have disappeared. By terms of the con- ' tract all the salvage goes to the contrac- . tors, A. 51. Allen & Co., who erected the- structure, an allowance of $S,000 -being made in the contract price for the same. "We are under a forfeit of $500 a day to taled ty for eVery day after the 10th of Jjjlyimit if any part of the building, material is on the ground." - Said Mr. Allen yesterday, "and though the job is a big one I guess it. will be done on time. The 23,000 chairs are not out yet, and as soon as they are we will at once com mence taking off the roof and begin -working three shifts of men." One of the amusing features of the work now proceeding is the diligence with which the various entrances are guarded' against intruders. "Whyr"' said Mr. Allen, "there has been thousands of people here today, who wanted to get a chip or a nail from the speaker's stand. For a fact, some of these relic- . seekers bad the nerve to .bring saws with them and would have sawed out whole planks and carted them away." Greaham the Favorite. Omaha, July 2. The report that Judge Gresham has declined to allow his name to be used before the national convention of the peoples party,- is de nied by Hon. C. A. Powers chairman of the Indiana delegation. Mr. Powers . says "he cannot decline anything which . has never been offered him. He has been visited by .committees, it is true, but they were merely conferring with . him and had no authority to act. I think I know as much about Judge. Gresham 'e attitude on the question of his candidacy as any man, as I was the first to approach him, and I have a. let ter with me now from him, written last February in answer to one I wrote him. -He has not declined, and I think he will be nominated by acclamation and elected." Mr. Powers adds: "The : country is on the eve of a political revo lution. We are going to have . 1860 re peated, so far as breaking up and re forming parties is concerned, and there is no man living today who can so stir- the laboring masses and ti e poor man as Greshatn can. He is another Lincoln in the sense that he is a man of the peo ple." -- . On the other hand it is said chairman Orr, of the Colorado delegation will carry in his pocket a letter from Judge Gresham, in' which the latter, in the most positive terms, declares tnat he will not be a candidate for president on the people's or any other ticket. He authorizes Judge Orr to withdraw his (Gresham's) name should it be pre sented to the convention. The letter was written about two -weeks ago. Judges Orr and Gresham were school matee. The coast delegates favor the name of Stewart, while those from Colo rado, Utah and Arizona will nrge the name of ex-Governor Adams, of Colorado. Cuba is having fine weather, and the sugar crop will, amount to more than 900,000 tons, or nearly 100,000 tons more than last year. 5 i 1 I -
