An intormal meeting ot the citv
council convened last evening to
eonsider the question of gradin
Washington street, the decision of
the court having established the
right of the city t so d j. and dis
solved the injunction
The matter was talked over and
the determination emphatically
expressed that the grading should
be projeeded with, but it was
thought best not to take any a. tio'i
at present, but give a!! parties am
i'le time to prepare for the work,
and that the next regular meeting
would be time enough to give no
tice of the commencement of the
work. The grading will be pushed
through this fall, but care v ill I e
taken to protect all private inter-

The first witness introduced
F.dward Huston, conductor of

Lebanon train, who testified tlut
the three prisoners had come to
him at the depot Sunday night a
little after 8 o'clock and asked to
ride on the engine to Fioman's
which he would not permit. He
said the Lebanon train left the
depot about 9 :05, and on arriving
at the switch liye minutes later
found a rock between the rails.
The rock was taken out, and the
switch seemed to work properly,
and the train passed on all right.
The result of removing the pin, al
lowingthe switch-bar to dron down,
he said, would be the derailment

Shannon Conser, conductor on
the Southern Pacific train, was
next called. He said the train
which was wrecked arrived at Al
bany at 8:55 and left at !):15.
Jhen the train was wrecked he
leftsthe rear coach and found En
gineer Miller and Fireman Quint
Guthrie and helped to extricate
them. The switch was half thrown
and the woik of the flange of the
w I. eel could he seen in -the center

The train v.as running about 25
miles an hour. A drawing of the
switch was here exhibited, which
the witness explained to the jury.
The key had been removed and
was genu and the rod was on the
ground. Tne washer was on the
wrong side. The effect of this was
that in setting the switch for the
Le'o:'.:io:i train it would act prop
erly, but in setting it for t lie main I
track the rails would spring back i
only partially, perhaps half way.;
This is what derailed the train. I j
arrived first at the switch alter the
accident.
Koadma.ster Wait testified.
Identified the plan of the Lebanon
junction switch. He sa.d he was
patentee of the switch and put it
in. He said it was an automatic
switch, and that with the pin out
and the lever disconnected, it
would operate properly for trains
on the Lebanon branch but would
spring back an inch or so so as to
derail a train on the main line.
The ties were all new. In cross
examination he said the railroad
company was not afraid cf the
switcii. Aoout five of them are in
use. They were invented in 1880.
He saw the switch and corroborated
Mr. Conser's statements as to its
condition after the wreck.
T. DeClark, superintendent of
bridges, testified that he was there
at the time of the accident. Saw j
that the switch had been tampered !
with. The round split key made
of, steel wire was gone and the rails
were only half over. This caused
the disaster. The pin could not be
found.
Dr. Kevin testified that he at
tended Jack Miller and yuint
Guthrie at St. Vincent's hospital
ia Portland. They were severely
scalded. They toth died from the
effects of the injuries received in
tho wreck.
Thomas F'roman testified that
the prisoner was working on his
farm running the threshing engine
at the time of the accident. The
witness said Hill and the two Kolfe
boys went to tow n on Sunday after
noon. The next morning Hill was
unable to run the engine, lie said
he had broken his arm and would
