morning James MacDouuld, a farmer in
township of Tyrone, upoD returning home
from ahnntinn; expedition, was hnrrioed

havius been straosrled to death. Further
investigation resulted in finding the dead
body of his farm band, a man named
Gilmore. in a grove near by, with
frightful woujd in his chest, inflicted by
an old musket. It is believed Gilmore,
during the absence of MacDouald, tried
to induce His. MacDonald to elope with

Some persons who went down the river
a couple of miles this morning lound
most ot tbe ranchers aoiLg cnores in
boats. One farmer named John Sullivan
was found in bis bouse all right, but be
bad no boat and could not get oai, as
water was four to six feet deep in.tbe
bouse and vard. His horses aud cattle
were on top ol tbe hay stacks. There is
no possible way of estimating tbe dam
age yet.

?uic:-.it: by drowning was made here this
ufteruoon by Mrs. Drawaick, a Boheman
woii.jQ. She waded out into the harbor

woman bad floated beyond her depth, but I
was kept from sinking by her dress ,
spreading out. When tbe men reached
ber she was nearly drowned. They
pulled her aboard the boat and took ber
to her house near the shore. She soon
revived and immediately asked for ber
child. She expressed penitence to tbe

ber cruelly and made life a burden.
- FIRE IN A HOTEL.
New Orleans, Dec. 14, 2:10 A. M.
Fire broke ont at 2 A. M. in the Allen
bouse 769 St. Charles street. There were
a nninber of boarders and lodgers in the
house. Ttey escaped in night clothing,
leaving everything behind "them. Tbey
escaped by jumping out on the roof of an
adjoining building. Some of those who
escaped were badly hurt.
Tbe fire is burning fiercely, and it is
feared all the inmates have not escaped.
Frederick Rand, an actor belonging to
tbe Nellie McHenry theatrical company,
escaped with a number of ladies of tbe
troupe from tbe bnining building, but
was himself badly hurt and sent to the
hospital.
Thomas O'Neal, colored, jumped from
tbe burning building and was badly hurt,
and sent to the hospital. W. H. Leitel
and wife were among the theatrical par
ty who escaped.
MOUNTED WITH A FIRM STEP.
Empire City, Or., Dec. 13. John Gil
man, who murdered Mrs. Etenhover and
child, was banged to-day in tbe jail jard.
He mounted tbe scaffold at 1 o'clock with
a firm step, murmured a few indistinct
words, and bid the crowd farewell. Death
was instantaneous.
SPOKANE MURDER TRIALS.
Spokane Falls, Dec. 13. The trial of
Mike Liebold for the murder of Thomas
Fallon on tbe night of May 24, 18S7, was
concluded last night. The jury stayed
out all night and brought in a verdict of
not guilty tbis morning.
A jury was impaneled in the bkcels
murder trial this afternoon. Mrs. Skeels
shot her husband, C. W. Skeels, March 1,
1889, because of jealnusv. Examination
of witnesses will begin in tbe morning.
TiTE LUNATIC CONDUCTOR'S LATEST FREAK.
San Francisco, Dec. 13. James K,
Arnold, the lunatic who took possession
of an Oregon tiain at Pendleton a short
time ago aod ran amuck with a dirk,
appeared before tbe commissioners of
insanity to-day. His face was covered
with a number of clippings from news
papers. He bad glued tbe clippings to
bis face and presented tbe appearance of
a dime museum freak. He was sent to
the Napa insane asylum.
THE THRONE TOTTERS.
London, Dec. 15. It is asserted that
the West End scandals," as they are
called, may result in upsetting hot onty
royalty in the kingdom, but also the rule
of the privileged classes as well. In other
words, tbat they will end in bringing
about speedily a republic upon the ruins
of the present monarchy and house of
lords.
The fact that Prince Albert victor.
eldest son of tbe Prince of Wales, and
therefore heir to tbe British tbionc, is
connected with these scandals, and either
personally and criminally, as is freely
charged, or as is officially admitted, by
the connection with them of bis intimate
friends, of course make their political ef
fect most momentous.
It is the opinion of practically every
thoughtful man in the kingdom tbat when
tbe scandals lire fully inquired into by
parliament and all the frightful details
become public property, either Prince
Albert Victor will be deprived of succes
sion, a proceeding almost impossible of
conjecture or tbat Queen Victoria will
be officially declared ibe last monarch of
Great Britain, and that a republic will
immediately succeed upon ber death
MASSACRE OF SIBERIAN EXILES.
London, Dec, 15. Reports have been
received bere of tbe massacre of Siberian
exiles. The alleged party of exiles hav
ing hesitated contrary to orders in regard
to the withdrawal of a petition, were at
tacked by police and soldiers. Six were
shot dead, including a young woman, and
nine were wounded. A court-martial
condemned those of tbe survivors to death
and others to long terms of imprisonment.
One of tbe wounded was carried to tbe
gallows on a bed, when a noose was ad
justed and the bed removed. Friends of
tbe victims declare tbis to be the woist
case in Siberian records.
SHE BROUGHT HIM TO TIME.
Paris, Dec. 15. Tbe announcement is
made that Prince Murat has capitulated
and tbat be and Miss Caldwell are soon
to be married. Prince Murat has prom
ised to be satisfied with whatever Miss
Caidwell might see fit to allow bim.
an interview he expressed much admira
tion for ber independence of character,
and said be was charmed to know tbat be
had found a woman who knew enough
to so carefully look after ber own inter
ests. He knew, he said, that after once
wedded, Miss Caldwell would never per
mit her husband placed in any position,
regarding finances, tbat would prove em
barrassing to bim or would reflect upon
ber liberality in anyway.
MRS. THURMAN VERY ILL,
Columbus, O., Dec. 15. Mrs. Judge
Tburman has taken very mnch to heart
the conduct of her daughter at San Diego,
Cal. The wide publicity of the alfait and
Mrs. Cowles's marriage immediately after
securing a divorce have so preyed upon
Mrs. Thurman's mind that ber condition
is critical. The first news of tbe fact tbat
her daughter's second husband is said to
be a bigamist came to Columbus people
on f nuav. The Inurman family are
afraid that, should Mrs. Thurman hear of
tbis last and worse news of all, tbe result
might be serious. Allen Tburman has
personally requested tbe daily papers not
to publish the matter out of respect for
tbe family, which is held in very high
esteem here. None of them have printed
anything about it. Judge Thurman
takes the matter philosophically.
A TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Tttusville, Pa , Dec. 15. Three sepa
rate glycerine magazines exploded tbis
morning at North Clarendon, about seven
miles above Warren. Ibe amount of
gl veer ine exploded was over ten tons.
The explosion set fire to two 25,000-bar-
rel tanks full of oil belonging to the Na
tional Transit Company. They are still
burning and will be total losses. Several
oil derricks and small wooden houses also
burned. Nearly every window In Clar
endon was broken and much damage was
done to surrounding property. The loss
is estimated at $100,000.
FRANKLIN B. GOWEN'S SUICIDE.
Philadelpaia. Dec. 15. The remains
f Franklin B. Gowen, who committed
suicide in Washington, reached this city
this morning, and were at once conveyed
to'hia residence at Mount Airy, near Ger
mantown. The funeral takes place Tues
day. It is said Mrs. Gowen told aclose
friend ot tbe family that for ten days
previous to. her husband's last visit to
Washington she had noticed something
strange in bis conduct. It is thought by
many bere that tbe great lawyer's mind
became unbalanced through too presist-
ent application to business, and his sui
cida was due to this cause.
TRAINS DELAYED BY WASHOUTS.
Los Angeles. Dec. 15. Trains on the
Southern Pacific due from San Francisco
this morning and this afternoon have not
arrived at a lute hour to-night. Tbe de
lay is caused by a washout near Lans'd.
Tbe train for San Francisco which left
here late last night returned this morning
bringing the passengers of one of the tied
up trains. It is reported that the train
from the north due this morning went in
to a washout at Lang's, and two Pullmans
jumped tbe. track. No passengers were
injured.
SANDY OLDS, GETS A NEW TRIAL.
oalem, UR.,Dec. 10 in the supreme
court to dav the case of the state of Ore
gon, respondent, vs. Charles Olds, appel
lant, on appeal from Multnomah county,
was decided. Tbe judgment of the lower
court was reversed and the case remand
ed for a new trial. Tbe opinion is writ
ten by Judge Strahan, Chief Jastice
Thuyer concurring and Judge Lord dis
senting.
The court held that in a criminal case
the district attorney has a right to cross-
examine a witness for the defendant as to
bis interest in the result of a trial, to en
able the jury to pass upon the credibility
of the witness; but the evidence offered
must correspond with the allegations and
be confined to tbe point at issue, exclud
ing evidence of collareral facts incapable
of raisings reasonable presumption of the
principal material tact.
Defendant had called Thomas Williams,
who bad known defendant and deceased,
Emil Weber, for five years, and he testi
fied tbat the latter, speaking of his eye,
which had been injured in a previous
fight with Olds, said : "I am pretty near
ready for another battle, and it will not
be a fist fight this time. He can lick me
me in a fast fight, but I will have no fist
fight next time. I will just kill tbe s
of a b ; that is wbat I will do with
bim." The witness know the reputation
of the men, and was allowed by the conrt,
against otj"Ction, in answer to questions
of the state's attorney, to give tue names
and amounts contributed to the defense
by tbe gamblers of Portland aod tbe
Sound cities. All tbis might prejudice
the jury.
The lower court did not err in refus
ing to charge that the brass weight offer
ed by the defendant was a dangerous
weapon. That depended upon the abil
ity of Weber to use it,and was a question
exclusively for the jury.
The judgment is reversed and tbe
cause remanded to the court below for
a new trial.
IT WAS TO A FINISH.
Butte, Dec. 16.- -Between 7 and 8
o'clock this evening, John Gallagher died
in his house, from the effects of injuries
received from G. H. Ward, in a brutal fist
fight that took place on Sunday morning.
Tbe cause of tbe fight was a dispute over
a trifling account.
Immigration statistics.
From January 1 to November 30, the
number of callers at the Portland Board of
immigration rooms was 32,678. The secre
tary in his report says: These figures indi
cate a very large immigration to our state.
It should be borne in mind that the number
f callers at the board rooms does not by
ny means include the entire influx to the
state. We have heretofore figured the pro
portion ot callers at about one-fifth of the
whole. Estimating on tbis basis we have
as an actual immigration for the 11 months
of this vear the astonishing number of 163,-
300, or an increase of the corresponding
period of last year of 73,9od. Allowing a
liberal percentage for those who came and
went back, and for transient "lookers," we
mav safely figure that we have had an act
ual settlement Z'a our state during the year
of 100,000.
A Fine Band.
The noon aud evening concerts given by
the "Postage Stamp" band yesterday, had
a creat deal to do with influencing the
o
patronage of the opera house last evening.
The thirteen men in tbe band are all attists,
and eaoh one ft them is worth two ordinary
performers. It was the opinion of compe
tent musicians who beard them that they
fnrniahed better music both in character
and execution, than any bund of similar
tvroDortion seen in our city. Burlington

Walla Walla. Dec. 17.- At 9 :30 A.
M.at Colfax yesterday Ben Blanton. who
hvea at Lone Pine, while going to court
to answer the charge of assault with a
deadly weapon on an old man named
Braden, seeing tbe witnesses who were to
appear against him standing in a crowd
opened fire with a revolver, shooting at
oooii iraaen ana inos. Hick, and kill
ing D'lick instantly and woundinrr Braden
in me arm ana also wounding J. H. Ben
nett and John Dova!, the latter very ser
iously. Blanton fired so rapidly that
none couia interfere to prevent bim until
be bad emptied his gun. Flick lived 20
minutes, and was shot through the left
shoulder and lungs, tbe ball passing
inrougu me nearc.
Just as be died bis wife, who was with
him, raised up tragically and called uuon
the people around ber to avenge tbe mur
der of her husband. This made the
crowd furious, and a movement was
made toward tbe jail where Blanton was
immediately hurried after the shooting
by the deputy sheriff and others who wit
nessed the tragedy, and only tbe most
persuasive counsel and the cool heads of
prominent citizens prevented the at
tempted rescue of the murderer then and
there.
The sheriff immediately cilled on the
citizens to assist him in defending the
prisoner as he believed if the jail became
in possession of the infuriated crowd,
they would hang Russell also, who is
canfined there for the murder of Daniel
Cauty.
Blanton on the way to town before the
killing said be did not expect to livelong
anyway, ana mat tne witness would not
live longer than be did. Blanton, the
murderer, is a desperate character, hav
ing served 13 years in the penitentiary in
California and Oregon, and takes a fear
ful brutal delight in crime, re&ardless of
the consequences, caring little for bis
own worthless existence.
Flick leaves a wife and one vounr
child. The rest of the wounded men are
farmers who live near Oakesdale, where
the assault was committed for which

It is believed that if additional strength
arrives to-day and capable learders are
found, the excited people will yet attack
the jail and rescue Blanton. For fear ot
attack Sheriff McLean last night had Rus

place of safety.
Yesterday morning a trotion for a
change of venue in Russell's case was
denied. It Is believed that Russell can
not escape a verdict of murder in the first

Every prisoner simultaneously turned
his eyes npun the jurors, as if to read in
their impassive features the secret of the
verdict. But there was no sign to give
them hope or fear.
'-Gentlemen," said the court. "I under

this case." With a bow Foreman Clarke
took from his pocket a large envelope
and handed it to the iudge. who in turn
handed it to the clerk. .

When the verdict was read this after
noon Dan Coughlin's wife and little girl
were sitting out in the main corridor
of the criminal court building. Some
one rushed into the corridor and called
out the result. Mrs. Coughlin gasped,
stood erect, shrieked and fell back into
the chair. She buried her face in her
bands and moaned wildly. The child,
too began to cry loudly.
Mrs. vviialt-n, O'bnlli van's sister-in-law.
was standing by and turned savagely up
on tbe men who were watcbiug Mrs.

The substantial philosophy teaches that
everything in the universe, visible or invis
ible, tangible or intangible, corporeal or in
corporeal, of .which tha mind can form a
positive concept, is substance, or entity, in
some form or degree of groraness or attenu.
ation. That all the substances of the uni.
verse as above expressed, are diviaable into
two main departments, to-wit: Material and
immaterial, or corporeal and incorporeal,
and that while all matter is substance, it by
no means follows that all substance is mat.
ter, or material The term matter or ma
terial only embraces those substances which
are ponderable or otherwise susceptible of
ehemical or mechanical test, or such as are
limited by material conditions. The term
substance not only embraces all material
things, as above defined, but it includes all
immaterial entities, such as oannot be
proved to exist by any chemical or mechan
ical test. Substance in its immaterial de
partment includes every force in nature,
physical, vital, mental or spiritual, aud in
eludes every form of energy which can posi
tively produce a manifestation or motion of
sensuous body. The physical forces, such
as light, caloric, sound, electricity, gravity, '
etc., are as really substantial or cntitive
as tbe air we brcatho or the food w. jut
The vital and spiritual forces which are
manifested in the vegetable and animal
kingdoms, and which actuates all living and
thinking organie beings, ore as really sub
stantial as are the beings and organisms
thus actuated and moved. The vital and
mental forces in an animated being which
must exist in order to move it. are as vr.
i table substantial entities as are the wat
er, fire and steam in tbe locomotive which
moves the engine and causes it to nprf.irm
iU work. It teaches that all these imma
terial forces, physical, vital, mental and
spiritual are coeteinal with God; constitutes
is immediate environments, surroandinirs.
or attributes from which and in whose lal
ratory he synthesized all things visible. It
teaches that there is complete harmony be
tween science and revelation: hence tha
texts:
Heb. 11th, 3d. We understand that tha
worlds were framed by the word of God. to
that thing i which are anen were not mada
of things which do appear.
2d Cor. 4th, lath. fur the things ahich
are seen are temporal, but the things a hich
are not ie,?n are eternnl.
Rom. 1 1th, 36th. For of him and
through him and back to him are all things.
And now the reader is invited to a com
parison of the substantial philosophy as
above very briefly set forth to the philosphy
taught iu some of our colleges and formu
lated by such men as Tyndall Helmholtz,
Huxley and Darwin, to-witi That the phy.
sical forces such as light, heat, sound, elec
tricity, gravity, maguetism, and also the
vital and mental forces, such ss life, mind,
and spirit, are bat modes of motion among
material particles, and not themselves sub
stantial entities. They teach that matter
or material in some form is all there is in
the universe, of a substantial nature, aadt ,
that what we call vital, mental aud spirit
ual force, by which the motions of our
bodies are caused, aqd controlled, aod oar
thoughts ara shaped, are but the molecular
motions of the material brain and nerve
particles of the living organism, and that
life consists of the motions ot the molecule
of tbe brain, and when they cease to move
all that is of man is dead; the life, the soul
and the spirit cease to exist. Oil the other
hand the substantial philosophy maintain
that as all thiugt are of God of whom are
all things; so all the elemeuts of matter are -but
condensations of his exterior nature
and not a product of nothing; that physical
organisms were condeosed and framed out
of that portion of God's omnipresent sub
stance suited to such material existences;
their vital parts out of a higher, finer grade
of God' substantial nature, while tbe ment- -al
faculties aud spirit were but drops ont of
the higher qualities of God's subttuu.at in
telligence and spiritual essence. R.
Dress or the Thi -tetntlt Century.
Tb Gentleman's Uagaxin.
Some interesting information as to tbe
dress of tbe later years of the thine nth
century may be pinked out of the a ell-
known Household Roll of Bishop S in
field, (of Hereford.) It records the pur
chase of four pieces of linen cloth, called
ileyoein, lor iiu os. 8d. These were
made up into long garments fr the use
of the bishop and his clerk by a tailor,
wbo was provided with the necessary ar-
tides of binding, linen and thread. Four "
pieces and six yards of striped cloth, at a
cost of 12 17s. 6d were bought for tbe
tunics and cloaks ot th mi ire and ball
iffis. Three pieces and four yards of a
coarser cloth cost 7 Ills. 11a., were al- .
lotted to the serving men, while a still
commoner sort, of winch four pitce sod
a half were obtained for 8 15s. Od., wss
made up from the groom aod page. Tha
total expenditure amounted to upward
of 50, equal, I suppose, to 700 or 750
at the present value of money. In win
ter the bishop purchased, for tbe better
produc'ion of his episcopal self, a surtout .
of furred skin and a furred cnp. Tbe
clothes for summer wear were purchased s
at Whitsuntide, were of a lighter texture,.'!
and were denominated bluett and russet.
These, to, were of different qualities, and
the servants were once more clothed in
distinctive striped dresses. The cloth of
this period had a very long nap so that
when the garment was overused the nap
could be leshorn, and an air ot newness
economically obtained. Ia the reign ot
the First Edward the tunic was still ia
vogue; it was worn with wide sleeves,
which depended to tbe elbow, Tbe super-,
tunic (the French gardecora) was also'
very generally adopted. Under the Third
Edward dress occupied to large extent
the attention of tbe wealthier classes, and
tbe prevalent ostentation lea to the en
actment of no fewer than eight sumptu
ary laws. The tunic, or cote-hardie, fit
ted close to tho body ; it had tight sleeves,
aod scarcely reached the knee, so as not
to obscure the view of the embroidered
garter which set off tbe manly leg. It
was gorgeously embroidered, and from
its sleeves hung long slip ot cloth. Tbe
peasantry, however, wore no such splen
did garments; they were forbidden by
law to wear other than breeches of leather
and a frock of russett, or undyed wool.
The burghers of the town were attired
iu dress of similar cut, but finer texture
tor it was in tbis respect that tbe sta tut
law insisted on tbe graduations of rank
and its general effect may be seen in tbe
costume still worn by the scholars ot
Christ's Hospital.
