DOWN TO DEATH
An
Excursion Train Goes
Through a Bridge.
SOME
ONE
BLUNDERED,
And a riurrlble lias. acre is tho Result -
Heart tending Scenes Are
Euacted.
Beusb, June 15. The total
number of people who lost their
lives yesterday by the collapse ol
the Milrt ad bridge on the Moen
chen, Stein & Bale railroad is now
plowed at 120, with hundreds more
or less Sdjured. Another account
of the disaster saya filty-seven
bodies are already recovered, and
that forty persons are severely
wounded. It is feared manv
others are dead whose bodies have
not been found. The victims were
mostly leading citizens of Bale
and it9 neighborhood.
Scenes which are heart rending
were witnessed in Uale to-uay
when the bodies of a large number
of victims were taken there by
sorrowing relatives, and represen
tatives of a majority of the best
families of Bale are among the
killed and injured. Several fami
lies are practically wiped out of
existence by the disaster, the full
extent ol which is not known even
at this hour. Bale is now a scene
of bitter desolation and mourning.
Nearly every family in the city
may be said to have been touched
by the calamity, for those who
have not actually lost one of their
members have dear friends or ac
quain'atii't'S either among the dead
or among those who are mourning
the loss of rvi.ttives. Those who
were wounded include so many
serious injuries that almost each
hour records another death or
another case in which the physi
cians give up all hopes of saving
the patient's life. Everything the
local and municipal authorities
can do to help the wounded, re
cover the dead or assist those in
distress is being done. Clergymen,
priests and physicians and a large
lorce of troops and firemen and
scores of vehicles to be used as
ambulances have been dispatched
to the scene of the wreck.
roopsand firemen are busily
engaged in removing the wreck,
recovering the bodies of the dead,
and transporting the wounded to
their homes or to hospitals. Phy
sicians i.nd ministers of the gospel
are doing noble work in adminis
tering to the wounded and com
forting the bereaved. The neigh
borhood of the collapsed bridge
now resembles in many features
the after episodes of a battle or
the closing acts in some warlike
struggle. Still more so was this
the case last night, when the river
banks were illuminated by huge
tires, the troops and Gremeu work
ing unceasingly, dragging the river
for the dead, nursing the wounded
aud keeping guard around the
spot9 where it was not ttiought
advisable to admit the crowds of
people who had flocked to-the
scene -from every village in the
canton. The work of the soldiers
in dragging the river is gre::t'y
impeded by the fact that in
stream is considerably swollen by
the melting snow, llins th
waters carried away many bodie .
and several days' dragging will I.
required be'ore the soldiers' wiui,
will be completed. That "some
lody" is to blame for the accident
nobody doubts, but the petiole are
so taken 4ip with present duty that
the question of blame is postponed
for the preseut from any ollicial
consideration.
IT COST HIM HI4 LIKE.
That Wan the Trice An Austrian
Officer Gave Kor His Temerity.
Vienna, June 15. A member of
the Austrian nobility, a cavalry
officer, some time ago entered the
Turkish army, and, the better to
secure his advancement in the
service of the sultan, embraced the
Mohammedan religion. As another
bid for promotion be wrote a book
on tactics, which was really a val
uable resume of the military prac
tice of various nations.with special
reference to the necessities of the
Turkish army. The superior offi
cers oi the diligent Austrian, how
ever, through jealousy, or some
other motive, relused to approve
the work, and put a veto upon the
expressed intention of the writer
to present the brochure to the
sultan. The author seized an oc
casion when hia duties brought
him near the sultan and made an
attempt to hand the book to the
miirhtv potentate, lie was imme
diately arrested aud hurried away,
the impression being created
among those who witnessed the
episode that he was regarded as an
assassin.' Hia fate is unknown,
but the Austrian embassy has
caused inquiries to be inatiluted
tl rough the regular diplomatic
channels as to the caae. The fact
that the unlucky officer had be
come a Mussulman may be used as
a bar to the successful prosecution
of inquiry. If is thought the vic
tim has been bow-stringed before
this time.

Wouleu Mill for Mil Ion.
Pendleton East Oregon iau : The
gentleman who made proi osition
to build and operate a woolen mill
in Pendleton with a capital of $50,
000, subscribing to half the stock
if the citizens and property-owners
would subscribe to the balance, is
on his way to Milton from the
East having received a proposition
from the people of that place. It
is probable, since he received no
substantial encouragement here,
that he will locate in Miltm and
have a woolen mill in operation
inside of ninety days, the first to
be established in Eastern Oregon.
A woolen mill will undoubtedly
pay at Milton, yet Milton is not so
near the raw material nor has she
as good transportation facilities as
Pendleton, but Milton people know
the value of manufacturing enter
prises, and if they keep up their
energies Milton stands a first rate
show of being the largest town in
Eastern Oregon in ten years. It
takes live people to build a town,
and Milton's pejple have shown
themselves to be alive in this
woolen mill project

impose the penalty for the same.
Witnesses and proofs necessary to

"J n order to facilitate such

reference to the report telegraphed
from Denver on Friday last, Rev.

formal, and in no sense penal or
condemnatory.
