Mr. Clan ton is a resident of Centerville and Mies Cooley a well known Dalles young lady. We are glad to learn that Mrs. James Blakeney is again able to be around, as it was much feared that the result of a fall which she received while working .about the bou bb the latter; part of last week would prove serious. Having struck the back of her head on a tub which was standing near as she fell, brain fever was feared for her, and she was confined to ber bed for several days Mrs. Wm.

Telephone No. 74. 22-3t The zero mark of the river gauge at The Dalles as determined by the U. S. Geological Survey, is 45.3 feet above sea level. As stated yesterday in The Chronicle, they have determined the altitude of the city to be 103 feet, in stead of 116, as was given us by the rail way survey several years ago. The highest point between this city and Portland is Clarnie, and the second highest is at a point five miles below the city. Engineer Hunter, who came into the city this morning, brought the news of the death of C. S. Wike, who is better known as "Jack" among Dalles people. No particulars were given regarding his death, other than that he fell between cars while braking on the Canadian Pacific near Alberta, in the Northwest Territory several days since, and was lit eraiiy cut in two. lis remains were shipped to bis relatives in Illinois. Mr. Wike was for years employed by the O. R. & N. here, and was one of the most popular and best known railroad men on the road. . Tbe tables turned last night at the club bowling alleys, and the ladies were not in it, not even for a minute, being beaten by the gentleman' in all four games rolled, although in the first game by but one point. The total score of tbe men was 918 and the ladies 872, making a victory of 46 points. Mrs, Seufert and Mies Schanno held tbe highest total score for the ladies, with 130, while Mrs. Nolan was highest in single score, 39. Mr. Nolan was high man all around 184 total, and 48 single score. A return contest will take place on Wednesday of week after next, when tbe ladies will no doubt regain their former good luck. The managers of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Association have finally ' eucceeded in securing the renowned lecturer, Sam Jones, to appear at the as sembly at Gladstone Park this season. The difficulties of making the arrange ments for this engagement have finally been cleared away, and recent inform ation from headquarters announces that everything is satisfactory. This has been a matter of deep concern to the assemblies on the coast, and the news of its final settlement will be highly gratifying to the public as well. Sam Jones' wit and . wisdom are familiar to students of literature, but to have the opportunity to hearing and seeing him in person would be a rare intellectual treat to bis many admirers. Lovers lane (for such the walk on Fifth street, leading to the bluff is termed) is not an exception to the gen eral rule which is applicable to many walks in our city, and therefore is sadly in need of repairs. About half way up the walk, a section of the railing is miss ing, probably torn asunder by some des perate maiden who was intent upon giving her'lover a railing, and never re placed. As love is said to be blind it is a very dangerous state of affairs to have a narrow walk like the one in question, ungarded by a railing, particularly as a misstep would probably cause a serious accident. Some years ago in this city such a small matter as the absence of a barrier of this sort caused the death of a visitor to our city a Mr. Skottowe, and a serious injury to bis wife. These mat ters which appear to' be trifling, are often productive of much harm and should be attended to. A DREADFUL ACCIDENT. Wagner 1 Fearfully Mangled Willie Attempting- to Steal a Ride. In spite of the numberless lessons given to the tramp fraternity as to the fearful results of attempting to steal rides, another one was this morning added to the long list of victims to that foolish habit. About a quarter to 12 o'clock this morning a man, who gave his name as Mike Wagner, with his partner, "de termined to get to Portland by riding on the brake beams. Just as a freight train was passing the crossing at the foot of Court street, the latter succeeded in getting himself into position for the ride; but not so. with Wagner. ' The train wa9 going at a good rate of speed, and, stepping on a rock, he slipped and fell under the wheels. Several who saw the accident hastened to bis assistance and found his right leg fearfully mashed and broken just above the ankle. His left leg was in about the same condition, while both legs were badly bruised above the thighs. Wm. Van Bibber arrived with his wagon a few minutes later and took the poor fellow to the city jail, and Drs. Hollister and Logan were then sum moned. His moans were heart-rending and he besought Mr. Van Bibber to kill him or give him something to cause bis death, claiming that he has no relations and nothing to live for. Many who stood by felt it would be a deed ot mercy to end bis sufferings at once. The eur geons made him as comfortable as pos sible and finding it necessary to ampu tate both legs below the knee, placed him on the operating table this after noon and, assisted by Mrs. Ida Craw ford, a trained nurBe, amputated tbe right leg just below the knee. The patient was eo weak that it was found impossible to attempt to amputate the other member, the man being nearly dead when taken from the table. It is thought he cannot eurvive the shock. Wagner is a Swede about 35 years of age, and has not the appearance of a common tramp. He claims that this Is his first attempt at stealing a ride. That ha has been working up in the country, and reaching town without any means, thought be would get a free ride to Portland, and attempted it with tbe dreadful result, which is even worse than Instant death. Mr. Miller, of Des Chntee, who is in the city, identified him as being a man who worked for bim last fall and says be is a splendid workman and a trust worthy fellow.

Also the Cate, The success of the gentlemen as hosts was proven last night when the Ladies' Aid Society and a host of their friends, at the invitation of Messrs. W. H. Wil son and A. M. Kelsay, gathered at the home of the former and were so admir ably received and entertained by them. At the door they were greeted by Mr. Wilson, whose duties in the dining later required that his evening suit be guarded by a neat white apron. Mr. Kelsay, dressed in the same manner, assisted tbe ladies to remove their wraps and gracefully arranged the bon bon caps on their beads. When tbe parlors were crowded with guests the program began, and con sisted of solos by Wm. Frank and Rev. Poling, a quartet by Messrs. Landers, Doane, Gifford and Jayne ; an Irish read ing by J. F. Hampshire, and a classical quartet by Messrs. Wilson, Glenn, Hob- son and Kelsay. As (his is tbe first appearance of these gentlemen as musi cians, all were anxiously awaiting their entree. Their extreme modesty sug gested to them the idea of appearing in a manner which would hide their blushes. They therefore appeared in a sheet and '- pillow case costume, with masks hiding the facial expressions, which otherwise must have been touch ing in the extreme. As the perfect melody filled the room, surprise was depicted on every countenance and all deplored the fate which bad for lo these many years kept them in ignorance of the wonderful talent-in our city. It was, however, suggested that the singers must be drawing their inspiration frOm the two large American flags which formed a background for the quartet and covered a window in the room. through which it seemed was wafted strains frou the "choir invisible." A suspicion at once ran . through tbe as sembly, deepened by the fact that neither ot the singers turned the leaves of bis music, bnt sang the entire' selec tion, as well as an impressive encore entitled "Kig-a-Gig, Gig" from one page of music. Far be it from us, however, to accuse these reputable gentlemen of duplicity, ' and we await their re- apoearance at some future date. 'Tis to be regretted that the suggestion of the choir invisible caused a feeling of distrust to remain when refreshments made their appearance and also sag seated the. idea of a "cook invisible,' But again we refrain from passing an opinion and say that be the .cook who the may, her cakes take the cake. On exhibition in the dining room were two fine looking cakes, frosted with care (but not by the guests) and labeled with their bakers' marks, Kelsay and Wilson. Each one present was furnished with a sample and as eagerly grasped a pepsin tablet which lay near by. All were loud in their praises of tbe flavor and lightness of these cakes and, as no fatalities are reported today, Columbias.
