steam and columns of curling black
smoke were plainly visible. . This set

Funeral of Thomas X. Joles.
The funeral of Thomas N. Joles took
place from the Methodist church yester
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. The orders
to which be belonged, the Workmen,
and Degree of Honor, Odd Fellows,
Woodmen and Good Templars, were all
out in force, forming in procession at
Fraternity hall and marching to the res
idence of Isaac Joles, where the body of
the deceased brother lay. The long pro
cession filed through the parlor( where,
in a coffin covered with masses of flowers,
rested all that was mortal of the friend
and brother. The lodges formed again
and marched to the Methodist church,
the main part of which had been re
served for them. The wings were al
ready filled and the church was crowded
to its utmost capacity before all were
admitted. The services were impressive,
the sermon being peculiarly fitting. At
its close each order sought the convey
ances provided for it, and the solemn
procession wound its way to the city of
the dead. At the grave the simple ser
vices of the A. O. U. W. were performed,
a beautiful hymn was sung by a quar
tette consisting of Dr. Doane, C. J.
Crandall, Balfe Johnson and W. F.
Magee, the benediction was pronounced
by Rev. Whisler and all was over.
Notwithstanding the fact that it was
a badly selected hour for the funeral,
the attendance was large, the procession
containing nearly sixty vehicles, the
first twenty, at least, of which contained
not less than nine persons each.
At the Methodist Church.
The Christmas tree and Santa Claus
at the Methodist church last night filled
the church to overflowing, the little folks,
of course, being in the majority. After
brief but interesting exercises the pres
ents were distributed. One of the most
interesting parts of the exercises was the
fish-pond for the little folks, and some of
the things caught out of that same pond
would have astonished good old Isaak
Walton. Another thing that caused
much amusement was the telegraph line,
worked by a . special agent of Santa
Claus. Altogether it was a very pleas
ant affair and served to make all the
little folks, and therefore the . larger
ones, happy.

Killed In a Collision.
A head end collision occurred Christ
mas morning about 3 :30 between the
west bound passenger train and a
freight, on the side track at the summit,
seven miles east of here, in which En
gineer Joseph Reedy was instantly
killed and the engines and several cars
were badly wrecked. A special was sent
out from here and the passengers were
brought here early in the morning, and
with them was brought the body of
poor Reedy. A coroner's jury was sum
moned yesterday afternoon and the in
quest beginning this morning is not yet
completed. Briefly the story is told
that Reedy had orders to meet the west
bound passenger at the summit. He
pulled by the siding and backed his
train on it, at the -same time sending
out a flagman to stop the passenger, as
he had not gotten his train clear of the
main track and the switch closed. The
flagman signaled the passenger train all
right, his signal being answered by En
gineer W. J. Sherman, who for some
cause did not stop, though he slacked his
speed. It is supposed that Engineer
Sherman seeing Reedy's engine was - on
the side track thought he had noth
ing to fear until the rear end
of the freight was reached.
When his engine reached the switch
it was too late to do anything, "and
Sherman and bis fireman jumped.
Reedy was sitting at his post in the cab,
and when the collision came he was
thrown back on the coal, and the tender
turning over, he was buried under it
.and instantly killed. It was three
hours before his body was recovered.
His fireman, Pearson, says he does not
know how be got out. He received a
bad gash in one arm and some severe
bruises, but will soon be all right.
The deposition of the witnesses and
the verdict of the jury cannot be given
until tomorrow.
Engineer Reedy was a splendid fel
low, liked by all who knew him, and his
death causes genuine sorrow among his
many friends. He leaves a little
daughter, aged about 8 years to mourn
an irreparable loss. His mother has
been communicated with, and upon her
desires will depend the place of his fun
eral. He was a member of the Masonic
lodge of this city, belonged to the Albina
lodge K. of P. and was president of the
local lodge of the American Railway
Union of this city.
The coroner's jury is composed of the
following gentlemen : A S Macallister,
A Larsen, W Magee, W McCrum, George
Runyon and R G Clostcr.
The following witnesses have been ex
amined : Wm. Harding, conductor, W.
H. McCoy, head brakeman, C. Clark,
rear brakeman and J. Pearson, fireman,
all of the freight, and W. J. Sherman,
engineer, and F. Jobson, fireman, of the
passenger.
The jury went out to the scene of the
wreck this morning, returning about 1
o'clock this afternoon.

been unprecedented. Every merchant
in the city reports phenomenal sales and
money more plentiful than it has been
for some time. One prominent mer
chant said he believed more money had
been expended for presents this Christ
mas than for the three preceding ones
combined. We know of no better cri
terion of the condition of the people
than their ability to spend money for
sentimental objects, and we venture the
assertion that there is not a community
of the same size as The Dalles and with
the same population as Wasco county,
in the whole United States, that is as
well fixed financially as ours. We do
not believe there was a child in the
county that did not receive something to
gladden its heart yesterday, and that is
a record of which any community might
well feel proud. Oregon is the best
state in the union, and Wasco its ban
ner county;
