Meeting; Notice.
A bad wreck occurred on the O. R. &
N., about eight miles east of Grant this
morning about 1 o'clock, causing the
death of Charles Johnston, engineer, and
the, perhaps, fatal injuring of W. Hock-
man, the fireman. The wrecked train
was a freight east-bound, and the acci
dent was caused by the sand drifting
over the rails. At the place the acci
dent occurred there is a curve in the
road, and the sand was deep enough to
lift the wheels of the engine so the
flanges of the wheels passed over the
rails, the engine plowing off to the
right through the sand a distance of
Bixty feet. The cars pushed the tender
along, breaking the coupling between it
and the engine, and forcing it off to the
leit of the track. One car is crowded up
the track between the engine and ten
der, and the engine was turned com
pletely around and thrown over on its
Bide. Four cars were off the track.
The train crew at once went to the
assistance of the engineer and fireman
but found Johnston beyond all earthly
aid. He was lying under a truck
which had been detached from a box
car, and had no doubt been killed in
stantly. Hockman was near the engine
and had been badly scalded about the
legs, the right leg being broken.
Doctors Logan and Doane were tele
graphed for and went up on the
o'clock train.
The east-bound train being unable to
get by the wreck, a transfer was made,
it returning at about 10 o'clock this
morning bringing the body of the dead
engineer, which was taken charge of by
Undertaker Crandall and prepared for
burial.
' Mr. Hockman was taken to St. Vin
cent's hospital at Portland, Dr. Doane
accompanying him. His injuries are of
such a character that there, is little if
any hope of his recovery. His right
leg, besides being broken, is badly
scalded and will have to be amputated,
while the left is also badly scalded.
Brakeman E. E. McCarney was
bruised somewhat, but not seriously.

Mrs. F. T. Esping, who died Saturday
afternoon at about 3 o'clock, was born
in Pittsburg, Penn., May 12, 1851, and
was at the time of her death aged 46
years, 4 months and 14 days. Her
maiden name was Olivia Olliver, and
she was married to Mr. Esping August
3, 1369. They moved to Los Angeles,
Calif., in June, 187o, and came to The
Dalles in February, 1878, where, with
the exception of a short time, they have
since made their home.
Some time in the month of May, 1895,
Mrs. Esping was afflicted with -bronchi
tis, which later developed into consump
tion. Being of a lively, happy disposi
tion, ehe was loath to admit that the
dread disease had claimed her as its
victim, and did her utmost to shake it
off, saying to her friends that Bhe did
not -understand why one who enjoyed
The following excerpts are from a
letter written by Mr. Leslie Butler from
Skaguay, under date of Sept. 18th :
We left Portland just after midnight
on bunday, Sept. otb, on board tne
Elder for our eecond trip to Alaska. We
have on board about 150 passengers,
sixteen of whom are ladies and five
children, some of them like ourselves,
bound for points on the coast, but most
of them are headed for the Ynkon. We
landed at Astoria at 8 a. m. Monday,
and left at 10:35, crossing out over the
bar without hardly knowing it, the sea
was so smooth, but after we were ont a
few miles the sea grew a little more
boisterous and several of the passengers
"felt a little worse." We made no land'
ing until we reached Mary's island,
Here all vessels, British or American,
have to stop at the custom house.
On Tuesday afternoon we met the
steamer Bristol towing the Eugene back
to Victoria. It is reported that they
had some trouble with the British offi
cers. The Eugene, you will remember,
is the boat Mr. E. B. McFarland and
others in Portland were taking around
to St. Michaels to run on the Yukon.
Our next landing was at Metlakahtla,
where Dr. Dunkan has a lot of Indians
colonized on an island. They have
churches, schools, a saw mill and a
salmon cannery. They have no horses,
cattle, hogs or chickens ; nothing but
dogs, Indians, a missionary, a doctor
and some teachers. They do not allow
liquors of any kind to be landed on the
island and they look like a prosperous,
well kept people.
The next stop is Ketchikan, and the
only industry here is salting salmon,
but they do a whole lot of that.
Fort Wrangel, at the mouth of the
Stikeen river, is our next stopping place,
and here we find quite a trading post,
four good general stores, hotel, restaur
ant, bakery, saw mill and salmon can
nery, all run by white people. Three of
the passengers stopped at Fort Wrangel,
expecting to go up the Stikeen river.
They have eight horses and provisions
for a year.
We find ourselves next at Juneau, at
present the largest city in Alaska.
From Juneau we crossed the bay, a dis
tance of about one mile to Douglas isl
and, where are located the famous
Treadwell mines, the largest gold mines
in the world.
Then we stopped at Seward city.
About sixty miles from bere are the
mines that are owned by the Portland
Cracker Company and other Portland
people.
And then we came to Skaguay, land
ing here at 3:30 Sunday p. m., just a
week after we left Portland. I think
Skaguay will be a city, and that very
soon. There are no less than 100 houses
going up now, carpenters are getting $o
to $7 per day, and everyone is busy. It
is the general opinion, however, that
there will be a lull for a time, as the
weather will be too bad to work at any
thing. One can hear almost anything
here: some are discouraged and going
back, others are going on through and
more are coming on every boat. All
kinds of business are fully represented.
We have been here one week and it has
rained every day, and the wind blows a
gale nearly all the time. We met Mr.
Chipp and Mr. Settlemier bere today.
They are all The Dalles people we have
found so far.
The following are the distances from
Portland to places on the way : Mary's
Island. 907 miles; Metlakahtla, 945
miles; Ketchiken, 961 miles; Ft.
Wrangel, 1050 miles; Juneau, 1198
miles, and Skaguay, 1298 miles.
Yours truly,
Leslie Butler.
