AsiiiNOTox, July 10. Minister
Fred Douglass was a prominent
ngure at the departments to-day
He was at the etate department
first, where he received all the
money due him from the govern
ment, and he then went over to
the treasury department, where
he was closeted for some time
with Mr. Foster. Mr, Douglass
was reticent on all points. It can
be stated that Mr. Douglass has
come home for the purpose of re
signing his place. So widespread
is thi belief that there are already
a number of applicants for the
position. The most pJominent can
didate is T. Thomas Fortune, a
well-known colored journalist now
in New York. It is a serious ques
tion, however, whether the de
partment will care to Bend another
colored man to Hayti, for it is
known here that the ilaytiaus do
not appreciate as a compliment &
colored minister at their capitol,
and much of Mr. Douglass' failure
to secure the mole of St. Nicholas
as a coaling station for the United
States is ascribed to Mr. Douglass'
unpopularity on account of his
color.

Merchants were happy, and it was

This afternoon at 4 o'clock Sa-

the hardest rain storm exer expe
rienced in Oregon, to judge by tlie
memory of the oldest inhabitants.
1 here was loud thnnder and vivid
lightnings. Heaven's artillery
w as touched oil" at 4 o'clock and
thunders roared like great guns
and forkel lightnings shot at
hazard through the skies. It is
estimated the rain that fell was
over half an inch in less than an
hour. Much bay cut to-dav and
yesterday is ruined. Wheat was
lodged a little, but otherwise no
damage. Those who came here
in the early 40's never saw such a

Aluunel Seemed Lot.
A thrilling experience, although
not ending fatally, was had by a
railway mail clerk, who acted as
a distributor on a local train, says
the Washington htar. He had a
car to himself, and atone stasi i
up in the Allegheny mounts iu
had left his car for a minute . i
two to run forward to thecng'ii- .
as it was taking water. The war t
tank was directly west of the gr m.
tunnel, and when the tender was
tilled and the train started tbe
clerk sprang for his car. The en
trance to the car was on the stde
and a solitary handle was grasped
whereby the clerk pulled himself
up to the do jr. To his horror he
found the door bad been jarred
shut and could not be opened from
tlie outside, and the second he dis
covered this fact the train shot in
to the tunnel. With a desnera
tion born of a terrible death
staring him in the face the clerk
hammered and kicked on the door
and shrieked aloud for help, hut
the loise of the train drowned bis
cries, and with both hands grasp
trig the handle, his feet on the iron
steps and his body glued to the
side of the car, lor tear
of being dashed oil by the
iagged sides, he was carried
through the tunnel. As the tun

this luckless mail cerk's experi
ence can be better imagined than
described When the train shot
into daylight again 'he engineer
looked back, as is the custom, to
see if his tram was following all
right, and discovered the clerk in
his harrowing position. Quickly
stopping the engirethe engineer
ran back. and. with the assistance
of the conductor, helped the al
most demented man to the ground
where he utterly collapsed, the
strain upon his nerves being too
great. For six months he was
under a physician s care, and after
he had become a well man again.

He was lying in the water, face
