many was caused by a scuttle wi' I
the officers of the vessel on whici
he sailed, during an attempt on
his part to secure command, whiu
he was under an attack of lunacy
in fact a raging maniac.
An attempt has been made in
London to have all insurance paid
to the undertaker but without
success. I he object was to put a
stop to the practice, said to be
prevalent, to let children die of
neglect in order to obtain the in
surance upon their lives.
Since the recent drownings at
Clatsop and Ilwaco, the matter of
having out life lines to protect the
sea bathers lias become one ol
active operation instead of the
oretical talk. The lines are going
in as fast as possible, and all the
devices lor saving human life in
such places will be placed at the
disposal of the bathers. It seems,
however, a case of locking the
door after the horse is stolen.
J. Finley Hoke, the notorious
Peoria former, who got away with
M80,000 belongina to the Mer
chants' National bank, of that
place, wnere ne was employed as

the penitentiary by Shei iff Berry,
from Peoria. After being taken
from the prison. Hoke was locked
up in the Will county jail, await
ing a midnight train on the Kock
island road. There are nineteen
indictments against Hoke, and
were he to be tried on all he would
have to be a double centenarian to
serve out his time.
In San Francisco on Sunday two
desjierate ex-convicts, Taylor and
Gordon, attempted to kill Archie
Salisbury at the corner of Cali
fornia and Kearney streets. Three
years ago Salisbury was a witness
against them, when they were con
victed ot burglary and sentenced
to San tjuentin. They secured
their release from the penitentiary
two weeks ago and started in
search of Salisbury, with the
avowed intention of killing him.
VNhen thev overtook him on
Kearney street this morning
Gordon drew a dagger and Taylor
a pistol. They sprang upon their
victim with an oath. Gordon
lashed at him with the dagger.
The blade struck Salisbury on the
right shoulder, cutting his cloth
ing but not reaching the flesh
Salisbury fled and his assailants
chased him until Officers Johnson
and Minnihan captured Taylor.
He was charged with an assault
with a deadly weapon and carry

ALAKHINOLY PREVALENT,
The Yellow Fever Is Devastating
Mexican t arts.
New York, August 17. The
i-teamer City of Washington, which
arnved here this morning from
Mexican ports and Havana, reports
vellow fever prevalent to an alarm
ing extent at Vera Cruz, and
though the health authorities are
striving to check the spread of the
disease, their efforts are appar
ently unavailing. Many deaths
occurred during the last six weeks
and it was a common sight, otli
cers ot tne vessel say, to see a
string of funerals ha'f a mile long
stretcfung from the gates ot the
city to the cemetery, each funeral
party waiting patiently lor
chance to bury its dead. Among
the latest victims of tne malady is
L. J. Snowball, a well-known
commission merchant of 70 Wall
street, who has been in Mexico
since the 2d of August. The City
of Washington was detained for
thorough inspection and fumiga
tion at quarantine as a precaution
ary measure, and will not be al-
wed to come up to the city until
-morrow. On the vessel are
CTratain Pratt and wife, of the
goWt Sulia; the second mate
and tliPae saiiors of the American
ship Akblkr, and Captain Drunk,
of the Danish bark lmterieuse, all
of which vessels were recently
wrecked.

New York, Aug. 17. A Herald
editorial says : ''There is a good
deal of good sound horse sense in
the plan for colonizing a large
number of negroes on the Pacific
slope. Senator Stanford is said to
be interested, and it is predicted
within the next twelve months
that 60,000 or more colored people
may find employment and homes
in California. Jn any event the

will have a fair trial. 'J he climate

A RAILWAY HORROR

KXCl RSIOM9T9 MEET DEATH
The Carelessness of Fmployea Cansea i
Faria Express Traia to Dash Into
aa Excursion Train.
Ki:kni. Aug. 17. A terrible ac
cideut, resulting in the instant
death of twelve persons and seri
ous injury of many others, some of
whom will probablv die, occurred
on the Tura-Sirnplon railway, near
this city. A special excursion train
conveying bunureaa oi villagers
T ... . !
from the surrounding country to
witness the feats in connection
with the 700th anniversary of the
foundation ol the citv ol Jierne,
was stopped at a siding a short
distance from its destination, in
order to allow the regular Paris
express to pass. The engineer of
the express, as nearly as can now
he ascertained, had not been noti
fied of the fact that an excursior
train was on the track ahead of
him, and the conductor of the ex
cursion train 6eems to have neg
lected to send a signal man back
to protect the rear of his train
while the shunt was being ar
ranged. The express, running at
high speed, came upon the excur
sion train so suddenly that the
engineer's efforts to check its
speed and avoid disaster were un
availing. The heavy express
dashed into the rear of the excur
sion train, demolishing the hind
most coach and forcing its way
partly through the next one. The
rear coacn Happened to oe an
empty one, which was intended
for passengers to be taken on at
another station. The guards in
barge of it were killed, but the
presence of this car doubtless saved
he lives of many occupants ot the
other coaches. As it was, the pas
sengers in the second coach were
nearly afl killed or injured. Train
men, assisted by the passengers
who had escaped injury, set to
work immediately to rescue the
unfortunates who were imprison
ed in the wreck.
Later.--The total number of
leaths thus far reported is thir
teen. Eighteen persons are seri
ously injured, the uiaj irity ol
them requiring surgical treatment,
ti nd some of these are likely to
lie. Thirty others an? less seri
ouslyhuit. Several of the dead
are so mangled as to be beyond
ejogmtion.

the store of Weston & Co., walked
to the back door and locked it. and
then, with pistol leveled, demand
ed the key to the front door of one
of the proprietors, and ordered
every one to leave the store. To
those who were slow in leaving, he
said : "1 will kill you if you don't
get out," at the same time nour
ishing his pistol in a dangerous
manner.
After getting control of the store

CORTLAND CAN HAVE IT.
The Dalles People Want the Pro
posed Portage Railway.
The Dalles, .-.ug. 17. In an
interview with the Chronicle,
Messrs. Liebe, Dufur and John
ston, three of the directors of The
Dalles and Deschutes Portage
Railway and Navigation Company,
express themselves as being per
fectly willing that the Portland
chamber of commerce should
build the proposed portage. I
What they want is a portage on
1 this side of the river, where it is
believed it will do the most good, 1
and any prospect of personal
profit is a secondary consideration.
They say if Portland or the cham
ber of commerce want to build the
road, let them get in and do it.
The directors of the portage com
pany will not stand in the way.

The bulge to $1.13 was accom
panied by the wildest excitement.
anp some sales are reported as
high as $1.14. A succeeding per
iod of weakness was the result of
free selling by both longs and
shorts. Conservative traders on
both sides are satisfied the prices
are too high for safety, and far
above the export basis, and they
must be brought together belore
the benefit from foreign shortage
on which the boom is founded can
realized. The consequence of
this was prices reacted until $1.05
was reached that being the low
est point of the morning , then
reacted to $1.07, sold on to fi.uo,
up to $1.0G, and at 11 o'clock the
market was comparatively quiet at
$1.00. Other markets followed
wheat, except rye, which had an
independent strength, September
selling to $1.10'4'. Corn at 11
o'clock was C4 ?4e after falling back
