WRECK NARROWLY AVERTED.
Light Engine Struck Delayed I"iih
senger Train near llllgiird Late
Katunlay Night.
What might have been a serious
wreck was narrowly averted late Sat
urday night while. No. fi, the wesy
hound train was between Perry and
Hllgard and about six miles west of
La Orande.
No. 6 had two engines out of Lu
Grande and while running along 30
miles an hour at that point Just men
tioned, a draw bar or coupling, pull
ed out of the head end of the mall
car, next to the engine.
Two engines and a mall car were
sent to Hllgard In charge of a brake
man, fou the purpose of turning the
car around on the turntable at that
place so It could be chained to the
next car behind It.
At Hllgard was a lone engine back
ing down to La Grande, which was to
meet No. 5 at Hllgard. When the
two engines and the mall car passed
this engine In going to the turn table,

took the portion of the train for th
entire train and not knowing of the
accident which had happened. Imme
diately started down the line to La
Grande. In rounding u curve two
miles west of Hllgurd he struck the
train standing on the track, but as he
was going down backwards, and wus
running slowly, no great damage was
done, except to batter the end of the
car which was struck by the tender.
Passengers were awakened from their
sleep by the Jar, but no one was In

a success. The plan is to provide
employment for those students who
desire to work during the hours pre-

Portland. Sept. 1. By an accident
which the managers of the Portland
General Electric company either can
not or will not satisfactorily explain
all Portland was plunged Into com
plete darkness anil all electrically op
erated machinery an1 transportation
lines nbruplly stopped at 7:30 o'clock
Saturday evening. The darkness and
the stalled condition was as complete
at the exposition as In town.
The general darkness and stoppage
was complete for half an hour, and
during that time It is probable that
every oil lamp In the city was put In
to commission, and every box of tal
low candles In the groceries was sold
out.
The confusion resulting wus tre
mendous and seriously affected every
line of business, as transactions of
everyklnd, and all activities were at
flood tide at that hour. All street
car power except the short distances
covered by the cable lines stopped
abruptly. Hill climbing and flat
travel stopped completely, cars all
over the city stalling wherever they
were when the current went off. On
down grades the cars drifted by
gravity until the bottom of the grades
was reached, and at such places there
was soon a serious congestion of all
kinds ot traffic, the accumulating
cars contributing to the blockade of
other vehicles which was Inevitable
In the dnrkness.
The most singular feature of the
entire experience was the fact that
not a serious accident occurred, eith
er to a vehicle, animal or person,
while the only fire that occurred was
the burning out of the switchboard at
the central power and light plant In
