VOL. X THE DALLES, OREGON. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 26, 1897 NO 248 HORROR AT. GARRISON Slow Progress in the Search for Dead Bodies. DEBRIS OF CARS ON ALL SIDES No More Corpses Have Been Removed Today Cause of the Wreck Not Determined. Garrison, N. Y Oct. 25. The gray dawn, 24 hours after the frightful hap pening of yesterday, broke upon a ecene of greater litter and property destruc tion than yesterday's sun, and last night's torchlight displayed weary gangs of wreckers, wbo were relieved this morning by fresh ones. When -the wreckers brought the tackle on the sleeping car Glen Alpine to drag . her up, there was much excitement and speculation, as it was believed there must surely be some bodies in this car, the most deeply submerged of the lot. When the car had been placed on a scow and the water run out of it, a seaching party went through, and to the surprise of the railroad officials, not a body was discovered. r Some curious things were found, however, which tends to make the escape ot the passengers in this car almost miraculouB. It is be lieved that all in this car escaped, and as there were a full score of handbags and satchels in the car, there may have been that number of passengers. Colonel Cole, president of the state railway commission, who is making an investigation of the wreck, said that while the bank may have given away, it was possible that the driving rod of the engine had broken and caused the disaster. If there are many more bodies in the wreck they are believed to be in the day coach, "which lies in the water up to its roof. Passengers who escaped from this car, and the crew, say that at least 12 persons perished in the day coach. Roadmaster Otis, one of the most ex pert track builders in the country, told an Associated Press representative that the sinking of the roadbed was due to some almost unaccountable action of the water on the bank. The sand and gravel had been waehed away, leaving a crust under the track which collapsed with the weight of the train. Revised list of the dead is as follows: Thos. Reilly, St. Louis. W. H. G. Myers, Passaic, N. J. E. A. Green", Chicago. G. Paduano, New York. Samuel Williams, Buffalo. A. G. Mackay, private secretary of General Superintendent Van Allen. John Boyle, East Albany. John O. Tampkins, fireman,' East Al bany. Two unidentified women. Wong Jim, Hop Sing and six other Chinamen, unidentified. The injured number 13, but none are expected to die. .The engine was located by a diver this afternoon, but no bodies were dis covered. The engine is about thirty feet from the shore, and under about sixty feet of water. . SlOO Seward SIOO.

' Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a consti tutional treatment.

Developements in Cuba within the next thirty days will definitely determine President McKin ley's attitude on the Spanish question, but he expects no trouble. The admin istration looks with favor on Spain's change of policy, and believes that the ministry is sincere in its endeavor to bring about a speedy termination of the strife in Cuba by granting substantial reforms. While not fully advised as to Spain's reply to Secretary Sherman's note, pre sented by Minister Woodford in Sep tember, its general character is known here, and it is not anticipated by tbe president that any friction will arise between tbe two countries as a result of the exchange of notes. The prime object the president had in view when General Woodford went to Madrid was bringing about an improved condition of affairs in Cuba before con gress reassembled. Spain's policy and her instructions to the new captain-general of Cuba will show an advanced step in that direction. But the administration is more con cerned about the rapid change of policy than it is about the character of Spain's reply to Minister Woodford's represen tations. The government has no reason to fear that Spain will take an aggress ive 6tand against, the United States. On the contrary, it is sure of a note friendly and conciliatory in tone. The president realizes, however, the danger of further a gitation . by congress and a further disturbance of our interests if something more substantial than theie mere promises of Spain to grant gen uine autonomy cannot be furnished when the new session begins. It can hardly be expected that Gen eral Blanco within a month after his arrival will be able to end the war, but if it can be shown that an advance step has been taken in that direction, Pres ident McKinley may, by forwarding the conversation that has passed and calling attention to an improved condition in Cuba, be able to pacify congress long enough to allow Spain to become thor oughly established in her new reforms. Henca it appears that tbe wording of the president's forthcoming message depends mainly npon, the immediate effects of General Blanco's arrival in Havana, the promulgation of an amnes ty proclamation, of new autonomist re forms and the abandonment of the re concentrado policy. t. v "I cnt ray hand on a piece of tin.

' Trimmed skirts increase in favor as the season advances. . Mousseline brilliante is a new gauzy textile much, used by Eaudnitz, Beers and Paquin for draping evening toilets. it has a very silky surface, and. is re markably dainty and beautiful. most oi tne new tucked evening gowns of gauzy material have rows of handsome Venetian lace insertion on bodice and skirt. Other toilets are made with Gainsborough fichus of tulle or mousseline de soie crossed over the cor sage, passed under the arms, and tied at the back. Accordion-plaited skirts of black silk grenadine, canvas tulle, black Swiss muslin dotted in silk, fancy French and Russian nets, and similar diaphanous textiles.are made up over gored founda tions of brilliant Turkish red or golden- yellow satin. Portions of the bodice and sleeves are likewise plaited and finished with elegant decorations in cut jet. Gros de Tours is one of the pouular silks this summer and has a soft fin ished corded surface, slightly heavier in quality than taffeta, but less jjlossy, It is used in the pale tints fcr evening toilets, and in browns, grays and greens for church, visiting, etc. Some of the grounds are striped with satin in bronze or black, then figured with small leaves or flowers or quaint old fashioned figures. These'patterns make charming fancy waists. - For cool and pretty gowns qualities that in the eyes of the majority nowa days lose nothing by the additional fact that they are inexpensive noth ing is better than the sheer delicate all wool delaines trimmed with ribbon in any of the thousand and cne ways ap proved by fashion. No more dainty gowns could be desired at the seashore or in the mountains, for while com fortable and dressy at the .same tint'e, they resist dampness and wear as no sort of white or light cotton gown can. Elderly women can suitaToly wear delaines in dark colors for morning dress. The material is not suitable for afternoon dress. In lighter combina tions of color, however, delaine. hand somely trimmed with lace or ribbon leaves little, to be desired on the score of, smartness. -N. Y.
