A RICHLY DRESSED WOMAN BOBBED.
New York. March 29. Mrs. Edward
Jordan, of Pittsburg, came over from Jer
sey City on a lerry-uoat tnis eveniup.
She had just arrived from Pittsburg, wat
richly dressed, and wore a prolusion of
diamonds. She displayed a well-niled
purse, and engaged a cab to take her to
Fifth avenue and Forty-first street. Late
in the evening an officer found ber wander-
incr on Twentv-founh street, near Seventh
avenue, ber clothing torn, and ber face and
hands bloody. Sue said tne cab drove up
a dark street and tbe driver ana aootDer
mau forced ber to give up her purse, tore
the rings from her Sogers and the earrings
from her ears. Her fingers and ears were
badly mutilated. Tbe officer sent ber to
the home of friends. She is prostrated
from excitement and rough handling.
There is no clue to the miscreants.
MARION COUNTY UNION PARTY
CONFERENCE.
Salem, March 29. A mass county con
vention of tbe union party was Held in
Salem this afternoon for the purpose of
electing delegates to the state convention.
and transacting other business, lnose
participating in the convention signed a
pledge renouncing allegiance to all other
political parties of this state, declaring
adherence to tbe union party of tbe state
of Oregon, and mutually pledging accept
ance ot tbe principles and loyal support
of all worthy candidates of said party.
K. L. Eibbard, of Silverlon, was elected
temporary county chairman, and a com
mittee selected for that purpose appointed
forty-one delegates to tbe state convtn-
tion. A county central committee was
appointed, consisting of one representa
tive from each precinct. It waB decided
to bold precinct primaries April 12, and
tbe county convention April 13.
THE LEVEES GIVE WAY.
Greenville, Miss., March 29. The
storm Thursday drove tbe waters of tbe
awoolen Mississippi over tbe levee and
caused great crevasses where the embank'
ment was heretofore thought secure. ' The
breaks were at Easton's levee, half a mile
above Mound landing and a mile and a
half below Huntiogton, on the Timber
Lake plantation. The outflow from these
places will inundate a large section ot
country before it reaches the Yizoo river
again, to join the great river, leaving
desolation and rum in tnese parts, sub
merging tbe garden spot of tbe Yazoo
delta and entirely suspending railroad
travel from Leland to Rolling Farm.
Tbe water from the Huntington break
will join tbe outpour from tbe Offut break.
which will inundate a large section of
country. These waters will swell its vol
ume, bearing to the west against Green
ville and spreading out towards Williams
bayon on tbe east, and no doubt will blend
with tbe waters from tbe eastern break,
making a perfect sea of water from here
to liayou Fuilia, and perhaps overflowing
tne east banks or this stream. Ju
junction of tbe waters from these three
streams will inundate nearly all tbe plan
tations in Washington county in all its
entire length and breadth until Sbarky
and Isaquena counties areieacbed; then,
connecting with tbe outpour from the
Skip with break, overflowing everything
in its track until tbe Yazoo river is
reached.
The damage this will do to plantations.
stock, fences, nouses, stores, towns and
railroads is beyond calculation.
Ciops will be late, and in many cases
it may not be possible to plant at all.
the latest from tho Easton break states
that it is now 600 feet wide and increas
ing rapidly. The water has crossed to tbe
west bank of Williams bayou at Avondale,
and is six feet deep in tbe stores at that
place.
A late dispatcb to-night says tbe pro
tection levee in tbe rear of Greenvill can
not last through tbe nigbt.
LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS.
Denver, March SO. A Cheyenne
special to the Republican says: Edward
Happy, the son of a rich Louisville, Ey.
merchant, who has been visiting on the
rsig llorp, Has been lost in the mountains
lor three weeks, and it is believed he has
perished. His horse, with blankets and
saddle, was found by a searching party
yesterday twenty miles from the road on
which Happy was traveling when over
taken by a storm. It is feared the body
cannot be found until the snow melts from
tbe mountains.
a single tree standing. Beyond the
woods several mere farm dwellings were
blown, down, but tbe inmates escaped
with but slight injuries. Tbe house of
Mrs Walker was completely demolished
and all tbe family were badly hurt. The
scene of devastation in the course of tbe
tornado is the most frightful ever wit
nessed in Kentucky. The storm tore its
way lrotn tbe last farm to the dense forest
of Green river bottom, striking the JLouif
ville and rtasbville road about ball a mile
from Sebree. There a heavy freight
tram, including the engine, was thrown
from the track and tangled up in a mass
of debris. The engineer and two train
men were killed. From this point the track
of tbe aend monster stretched across the
broad bottoms toward Green river, cross
ing that stream at the mouth of Graves
creek and there leaving Webster county,

THE BLAINE DAMROSCH WEDDING.
Washington, march 30.-The marriage

of the secretary of state, and Walter
Samrosch, of New York, will take place
here on tbe 17th ot April. Tbe wedding.
day was settled upon only a short time
ago, and was then hastened by the fact
that some of the most intimate acquaint ¬
ances of the bride and groom had ar
ranged a date to sail lor Europe. Tbe
event will be quiet, and in all probability
will take place at tbe Blaine residence.
KILLED WHILE HUNTING.
Cheney, March 31. S. J. Tift, a
prominent farmer living about three miles
south of this city, was fatally injured this
afternoon about 4 o'clock by the acci -
dental discharge ot bisguu while hunting,
the charge taking effect in the groin.
He bled to death before a doctor could

vices over General It. II. Milroy took
place to-day at 1: 30 o'clock in the Pres
byterian church. Rev. J. R. Thompson,
formerly tbe general's pastor at this place,
officiated. In tbe pulpit were Governor
Ferry, Speaker Feigbnn and Rev. Bock,

blematic of tbe works and hopes of tbe

ple, but impressive, and largely attended.
A vast concourse of sorrowing people fol
lowed the warrior's remains to their last
resting place in tbe Masonic cemetry.
MURDER WILL OUT.
Astoria, March 81. The verdict of the
coroner s jury at Jiay Center, Wash
charged George Rose and John Edwards
with the muruer of Jens F. Frcdnckson
who disappeared early in February, and
whose body was round last Wednesday in
a lonely gulch near the scene. On Sat
urday George Rose offered to lead the of
ficers to tbe spot where Mrs. Fredrickson's
body was concealed.
He took them to tbe rear of a pig pen
on Rose's runcb, where tbe body was dug
out of a pile of human excrement and
pig manure and taken to Bay Center,
Tbe boy confessed - later, but tbe only
thing which has leaked out about this is
that he said Jack Edwards and another
man, who is now in Eastern Wasbington
did tbe murder. The prisoners were all
removed to the county jail at Oysterville.
George D. Jones started for Astoria yes
terday, but was arrested at Bealand, re
turned to Oysterville and lodged in jail.
A printer named Lowery was arrested at
Ssaland this morning, just as be was
boarding a train to leave.
Mrs. Frednckson had been shot through
the head with a rifle. John B. Rose, the
father of George, when taken to see the
corpse of Frecrickson before tbe wife was
exbumen, bnrst into tears and said he
was glad they had found that body, and
boned thev would find the other one soon.

the sooner.

. THE HOLDERS' STRIKE.
San Francisco, March 30. To-day
was tbe beginning of tbe fifth week of tbe
iron inolders' strike against the Manufac
turers' Association, yet an air of quietness
pervaded tbe entire district occupied by
tbe hostile forces. At tbe strikers' head
quarters inolders were collected all day,
but contented themselves with newspapers
and quiet discussions as to the probable
outcome ot tbe great strike now being
made by the Iron Molders' Union. De
tails of special and regular police officers
are still on gnard at tbe Kisdon, r alton
and Union founderies, but tbe duty is a
monotonous one, and perhaps the most
discontented individuals connected with
tbe fight are the patrolmen. Nothing of
a disturbance has been seen since tbe dec
laration of tbe strike. Manufacturers
hold that tbe strikers are not yet reduced
to bedrock, and until that time tbero will
not be much danger of violence. Tbe
Eastern molders at work in tbe Risdon
foundery do not seem to be faring badly.

lodgings and appear to be contented.
Several of them were taken out for a ride

Louisville, March 30. A Dixon, Ky ,
special s js a terrific storm passed through
Webster county on Thursday evening.
The tornado proper lasted about twenty
minutes.'and in that time eight people
were Killed - ana about thirty injured,
seme of whom will die. The property
win amount- to X200.000. All
through the storm section, as far as can
be seer, houses are demolished, trees up
rooted and debns scattered all over tbe
county. A large amount of stock was
killed. Numbers of people are destitute.
Int are being cared for now. It will be
cecessary, however, to ask for outside aid.
Louisville, March 30. A special from
Poole's Mill says a portion of that county
is devastated by the great storm. In its
track scarcely a vestige of timber or
property is left. Trees were torn from
tbe earth aod buildings of every descrip
tion demolished and scattered for miles.
Debris was picked up to-day four miles
from the place where tbe havoc was ,
wrought. Only a meager account of the
casualties is yet gathered, as tbe physi
cians bave not yet returned from the
desolated district. Some people who
bave come back for surgical aid give
terrible reports of tbe destruction, and
say that seventeen deaths are reported, so
far, with a great numoer injured. The
storm first struck the farms ot two colored
men, laying them waste. Next, Richaid
William's bouse was wrecked and he and
one child and Mrs. Shelton were killed and
several others hurt. Tbe farm bouse of
Arnold was next visited and three of the
family were badly injured. Then Jack
son Brown's farm was struck. No build
ing or fence, was left standing here, and
three people were fatally injured. Six
other farms In the direct tract of tbe
storm were next wrecked, bnt tbe resi
dents fortunately escaped serious barm.
The death wotk began again at the farm
of John Balsy. Not a vestige of this
poor man's property was left and
the entire family was seriously injured.
Tbe tornado then took its course across
Noblick flats, tearing a half mile in width
through forests, leaving in its track not
WASHINGTON NEWS.
Washiitgton, March 81. Representa
tive Hermann says be can bold the boo
canal and Galveston harbor bills in the
committee on rivers and harbors until
the senate passes tbe boat railway bill.
and when that comes to tbe bouse it is the
intention to get all of them reported as
an omnibus bill, providing the combina
tion can be found which will carry it
through. Tbe boat railway bill is still
on tbe senate calender. Senator Mitchell
hopes to get it through in a few daTs,
but not without some opposition. Sena
tor Dolph is holding his bills for "tbe
lower Columbia in the committee on
commerce, bo as not to embarrass the boat
railway bill. .
At the request ol senator bquire tbe
chairman of the commerce committee has
requcsttd the war department to furnish
information relative to surveys for river
and harbor improvements in Washington,
and tto request bas been forwarded to
Major Handbury at Portland, who is re
quested to furnish the information.
Chairman Miiiiken, or the noose com
mittee on public buildings and grounds.
bas assured Senator Squire that his bills
for sites in Washington will all be favor
ably reported and, no doub', pass tbe
house.
It has been stated that Senators Dolph
and Mitchell have both secured the pass
age ol bills through tbe senate, each ap
propriating siuu.uuu lor a building at
Salem. Tbe facts are that Senator Dolph
introduced a Salem bill and Mitchell The
Dalles bill, both having past tbe senate.
The Salem bill has been favorably re
ported by tbe house committee, as bas
tbe 400,000 bill for Portland. It Is
more than probable that both will pass
tbe house, but there is aoubt about
Tbe Dalles bill.
Representative Hermann introduced a
bill to day providing that the proof of
naturalization or declaration of intention
to become a citizen of tbe United States
required to he furnished with certain
classes of entries of tbe public lands, may
consist of a copy of such declaration of
intention or certificate of citizenspip, duly
certified by tbe register or receiver of the
proper district land office, or by any other
officer authorized to administer oaths and

NAKED AND THE SKULL SMASHED.
Vancouver, B. C, March 31. On Sun
day morning the body of Henry T. Sun-
burv was found dead near tbe smelter on
the Burrard inlet beach, bis naked body
covered with planks. ' His clothes were
found bid under a stump near by. the
head was masbed in evidently by a blunt
instrument. Deceased was a very sober,
industrious or an, and no cause can be at
tributed for tbe foul dt-ed. Sunbury had
been in tbe city about three months, and
came bere from near Sberbrooke, Quebec,
where mends live.-
He worked in a sawmill not far from
where found, and was last seen on Friday
night near the spot with a man unknown.
An inquest will be held to morrow. Tbe
city bas offered 9200 reward for appre
hension of tbe murderer. .
THE HOMELESS OF LOUISVILLE COLD
WET AND DESPONDENT. ;
Louisville, March 81. With four
inches of water-soaked snow slowly melt
ing, tbe situation in the devastated dis
trict has been gloomy all day, and many
people are to night broken in spirit,
though the physical wants are supplied.
Most of the streets of the district are
ankle-deep in mud and water. The worst
result of the wet is not so much in ad
ditional injury to property as in suffer
ing to the ill-protected people.
Scores of families are protected only by
hastily put up boards or canvass and tbey
are wetand cold. There is plenty ot food,
however, and tne relief committee and
agents are striving in every way to sup
ply proper protection from the weather
for all.
The heayy snow, however, has greatly
retarded repairs in tbe residence district,
aud a vast quantity of household goods to-
day has been partially or wholly spoiled
b7 tbe wet. The tobacco warehouses are
pretty well protected, and do not think
their loss will be serious.
Mayor Jacobs, in an interview this even
ing, said he was satisfied the number of
those killed outright and those who will
die from their wounds will not reach 150.
Three Russian Jews were arrested last
nigbt while setting fire to a demolished
store on Market street in tho midst of a
shattered district. Tbe fellows will be
severely dealt with. Besides this, there
bave been but few criminal attempts
since tbe storm.
Mrs. Barnwell, whose husband, the rec
tor of St. John's church, aud bis son were
killed, was robbed of all ber jewelry and
money, and even the body of her dead
husband was not respected, his gold
watch being taken from bis pocket.
A water famine is threatened in serious
earnest Tbe river is at such a high
stage that the injury to the pumping
station cannot be repaired. The river is
still rising, aud as long as the flood con
tinues nothing can be done. President
Long estimates that tbe reservoirs barely
hold three days' supply.
the last ot tbe dead are being laid
away to day.
In .Louisville the total number of dead
safaris 93, and of the wounded about
150. Of the latter between twenty and
thirty are not expected to live. Possibly
more than that number will eventually
succumb.
A late special from Henderson, Ey.,
saj8 the total of killed in Webster county
is forty and of the wounded sixty. A re
lief corps bas gone from Henderson.
MILWAUKEE CONVENT BURNED.
Milwaukee, March 31. Fire broke

and contents were burned Sister
Blanker, finding escape cut off, jumped

Rose Minnet and Mary Werener, jumped
from a tbird story window and were seri

Gould Ranch, Moro, March 29. 1800.
Editor Tuus-HouxTAiirsKa:
In the issue of your paper of March 22d
appears a letter from your Moro correspond
ent under date of March 10th, stating that
A. Mcintosh tt Son had propably lost 30
per cent, of their sheep. That statement ia
base and malicious lie, as yonr Moro cor
respondent well knows. Yonr Erakinevilla
correspondent wrote a letter to your paper
under date ot February 17th, stating that
our loss then was 300 head of sheen. As
your correspondents seem to think that our
losses should be published, I will now give
you the truth as to our losses during the
past winter. If you will take the trouble
to enquini, either in this community or in
The Dalles, I think you will find that my
reputation for truthfullness will outweigh '
that of your Moro and Erskineville corres
pondents. On the 17th of February, the
date that your Erskineville correspondent
put our loss down at 300, our actual loss
then was 27 head of sheep. Our total loss
when the winter broke up was 2J per cent.
of sheep, Wben winter set in we bad over
200 tons ot hay stacked on onr ranches.
We fed for sixty days, and when winter
broke up we had hay left, and have since
sold hay to three different parties. A. Mc
intosh A Son will stake $100 to back their
assertion that they got through tbe winter
with a smaller per cent, of loss in sheep
than any other sheep man in Sherman
county.
I think, Mt. Editor, that you mnst have
offered a premium to your Moro and
Erskineville correspondents, that the one -who
writes you the greatest number of
falsehoods within a certain time to be
awarded the prize, and I think that both
parties are working very diligently for the
prize.
As you so readily inserted falsehoods con
cerning us you will, in justice to us, insert
this, the truth, in the next issue of your
paper. - Alkx MoIntosh.
The "VV Kntertalnsnent, '
Tbe Y. W. C. T. U. social was given at
their rooms on Washington street Friday
evening, there being about 150 in attendance.
The entertainment began with an orchestral
selection, "Cleveland March" (to oblivion). '
Miss Luella McFarland followed by reciting
Heart'sease" with admirable taste. Miss
Heppner sang "Milking the Cow," and al
though some of the tones were high for her
she shows a clear, strong sweet voice. The
guitar solos by Mr. Mason were received
with rousing applause, The moat novel
feature of the entire evening was the "Vir
ginia Reel," danced by Misses Enrlglit,
Clara Story, Etta Story, Maie Atwater,
Nanny Cooper, Freeman, Alice Keys, Mrs.
Fhirman. They were masked with double
masks and wore aprons front and back, so ,
that they made an sppiarance of looking at
you when they wen looking jn the -opposite
direction. Tbe applause that greeted them
whon they danced away behind the scenes.
indicated the approval of the spectators. .
Their encore was a quadrille. This was
followed by some simple amusements, such
"Musical Chair," "Boston,, and Grab,,
all of which were enjoyed equally by old
and young. Every one present had a pleas-.
ant smile, especially when the collation
came; of it, it is needless to say anything.
It - was all that could be desired. Every.
thing in the place indicated purity, truth
and home. The mottoes,' pictures and ban
ners were such as only a mother, sister and
wife who have the highest interests of the
fathers, brothers snd husband at heart,
could place upon tbe walls, and we hope to
see the day come when American mothers -can
not only be subservient to laws dictated
by the self-styled lords of creation, but ean
exercise intelligent obedience to statutory
measures of their own creation.

A gentleman bands us tbe following re
port of a surprise party: Rev. O. D. Taylor
was given a very pleasant surprise oa last
Thursday evening at the close of the prayer
service. He was presented with a mag
nificent study gown by the members of his
church and congregation. The mantle itself
is a beautiful affair, being made up of the
finest brown broadcloth, lined and trimmed
with gilUd satin, and bound with silk
braid. Tbe work was done by Misses Anna
and Laura McGuire, and is perfect in every
detail, The presentation on behalf of the
church was made by Mum C. M. Towles,
who, in her remarks, referred to the obliga
tion to feed the hungry and clothe the poor.
saying that as Bra, Taylor had gained such
a reputation for feeding the hungry, the
church had decided to do their part and
clothe the poor, and gracefully handed him
the gown as a token of esteem, assuring
him that it carried with it as many good
wishes from the church as it it did stitches
from the hands of the Misses MoUuur. '
The surprise of Bro. Taylor was so complete
was no was unaoie to express his gratitude
and appreciation of the mft and the love

ready to take them back to their young
babies. The Indians sre much excited over
the case yet, and it would not surprise
many persons if a system of reprisal was in
augurated by tbe Indians against the man
who caused tae arrest and, as is claimed,
unjust punishment of tbs women.
