San Francisco, April 19. Yesterday's rain was general throughout the state, Sonoma, Sacramento and Sinta Ciara val leys were thoroughly drenched. Thurs day night in tbe San Joaquin valley there were frequent showers, and in tbe sierras snow and rain. Along the line ot the summit, on tbe railroad, it was snowing heavily wt last accounts. Weather in dications are threatening Irom all parts of the state. Boulder Creek still holds the first place in tbe season's precipitation, tbe record standing at 123.11 inches. Borden takes the last place, with 4.07 in ches of rain. Milton, Cal., April 19. In the past twenty-four hours it has rained over two inches, causing a rise in tbe Calaveras river. This morning John Cavaginaro ot Comanche, an old pioneer, attempted to cross tbe Calaveras river at Jenny Lind. When about midway tbe swift current struck tbe wagon and finally capsized it, Cavaginarc struck for shore, but having on a large overcoat sank and was drowned Tbe body was not recovered. Tbe team was also drowned. weie taken out they were beyond human aid. All leave large famil.es. One ot tbem was John Euslice, w bo bad charge of tbe mine. ITEMS IN BRIEF. NEW LAW OF LABOR. Chicago, April 21. Samuel L. Gom- peis, president ot tbe American federa tion ol .Labor, is in the citv, ana will deliver an address at Battery D to-morrow on "Tbe Eight-Hour Day: Its Enforce ment a Social, Moral, and Economic Necessity." Referring to tbe carpenters' strike be said : "Tbe labor organizations of tbe country are devoted almost solely to tbe eight hour idea. We have chosen tbe carpenters as the first craft for which to win the benefit. When tbey shall have won, we shall demand it for the miners and mine laborers." No progress toward settlement of tbe carpenters strike was made to day. In tact, a settlement seems further away than ever. It was understood that- as soon as the new bosses associatiou should become strong enough to employ 4000 men, work by that number should be resumed. To day, however, the strike leaders say that under no circumstances will any of the men be allowed to return to work until bosses representing seven-eighths of tbe employing capacity of thecuv have given in and recognized tbe union. It is not likely that this will be done soon. Tbe citizen's committee appointed to bring about a eett!en.ent ot the trouble has given np the idea of a conference with the strikers, owing to this radical change in tneir nosition. A FIGHT IN A CHURCH. Chicago, April 20. The action of the two rival conferences of tbe Evangelical church in each appointing a pastor for every church in tbe state resulted in serious trouble at tbe Humboldt Park church in this city to day. Rev. Mr. Morlock was to preach bis farewell sermon and his successor was to be installed. The adherents and appointees from both conferences were oa hand. Bishop Esber's conference had appointed Rev. John Vetter and tbe other faction. Rev. A. Ileilman. When Pastor Morlock and Pattor-elett Heilman attempted to close the Sunday school, preparatory to other services, Superintendent ivrueger and Pastor-elect Vetter demanded their authority. Immediately tbe congregation rose from their seats, and one party seized Vetter. while Heilman jumped down from tbe pulpit. Tbe confusion was made worse by women and children rushing for the door. Vetler's friends shrieking, "They ere killing our preacher," while ban jmiakcisco, April 21, Ten non union moldcrs eraoloyed at the Risdon Iron Works, were taken out for airing under tne protection ot special otticers yesterday afternoon. Some of tbem were taken for a ride through the park to Ocean beach, while others were escorted around town and across the bay to Oak land. They were all safely back in the works at 8 o'clock last night. During the evening the striking molders received information which led then to believe for a time that a new patch of Eastern men would arrive here before this morn ing, and extra precautions were taken to intercept tbem. Tbe pickets on watch at tbe various foundries were doubled, and men were stationed at the different docks along tbe water front. At last, however the strikers came to the conclusion ttat the expected men could not arrive be fore to day, and they reduced their force of wa'chers, but instructed those left on duty to send word to their headquarters at the fitst intimation of the approach of tbe new men. Tbe molders say tbey are gaining new courage in the ngbt, and snrely except to gain I heir ends. II is re ported tbat several of the manufacturers show a disopition to take their old hand back to work, and when tbe time which tbey have agreed to stand by the associ ation, said to be from sixty to ninety days, expires, it is claimed they will not renew their agreement, but will ooen meir suops.

La Grande Gazette: The little four year old son of Alf Terwillieer, of Elgin, was drowned in Phillips creek a few days ago. He had evidently been playing on the bank of the stream and fell into the water. Salem Statesman: George Hanlon, aged 1G years, whn has been in the penitentiary fnrnearly two years, was given his freedom yesterday morning, lie was tne youngest convict in the state prison and was sen tenced from Portland to a two-year term for the crime of larceny.

East Oreqonian: An Indian boy named Barnbart accidentllv shot a young Indian named Will Helm, on McKay creek, yes terday. The youths were shooting at a mark. Helm went to place the target in position, when Barnbart fired too sud denly. The bullet struck Helm in the thigh, penetrating it and lodging in the other leg. Dr. McKay left for the scene tbia morniDg to attend tbe wounded Indian. The Long Creek Eagle contains a letter from Vinson, in which sheep losses are placed as follows: J. L.

Wasco Observer: A sheep shearing crew of nine under tbe leadership of God- ferdand August Guintber, passed through Wasco Wednesday eu route for Wm. water, above the flour nulla, has not yet been commenced, although a good deal of arbitration is being indulged in by the par ties interested. The steamer Three Sinters is still jacked up on skids, in tbe middle of the county road, awaiting the completion of tne breakwater, when she will be run into the water. A drunken man attempting to wheel a barrow through the streets Saturday fur nished a great deal of amusement to many citizens. In his vain efforts tb keep his equilibrium he had many falls, and became such a cause of disturbance to pedestrians tnac tne oincer piled him and his barrow into an express wagon and sent him home. The company who have been boring for coal near Chenoweth creek for some time past haye struck a 6 tie flow of artesian water, sufficient, it is said, to fill a five-inch pipe. There are indications of coal; bnt it is not known yet whether the vein is large enough to piy working. This will be tested in a little while, and the facts made known.

Streams roo mightily Thursday and Fri day, but a few cold days checked the melt ing snow and the waters subsided. Arbor day was appropriately observed in this city last Friday, and a number of trees planted in tbe school house yard. Owing to the immense snowdrifts that encumber the trail across the mountains from the John Day to the Middle Fork country, water in the streams and rivers will not be scarce when the balmy days of next month shall arrive. The county is in need of better mail ser vice. Our Bear vallev correspondence which is dated the 5lli, only reached here on the evening of the 15th, via the Mitchell stage probably having passed through San Francisco during its trip from Bear valley, Freighting has begnn from Heppner to Long Creek, Allen and Rudio having al ready started teams over the road.

Isow, while their bands are depleted, would be a good time for stockmen to give attention to improving tbe breeds of their stock.

ACCIDENT AT A BAPTIZING. Springfield, O J A pill 20. At a color ed baptizing, given in Buck creek this afternoon, a part of a bridge, loaded down with spectators, collapsed. Four persons were injured fatally, and o ter fifty more received severe injuries. Ibere were about 600 people, on Limestone street bridge, which, bad been condemned and aiterwards repaired and which spans a race, in addition to crossing a creek. It was one of the foot bridges on the race part which gave way. The mam railing did not break and this caused tbe foot bridge to swing around at an angle of 45 degrees. . bcreama, yells, shrieks and groans commingled. - The fatally hurt are: A.

GLADSTONE WILL SPEAK. Loidon, April 20. Great interest cen ters in Mr. Parnell's amendment to tbe Balfour land purchase bill, which the Irish leader is expected to offer when tbe debate on the bill is resumed to morrow. Mr. Gladstone is expected to make an important speech in support of the amendment, and as it will be bis first ap pearance since tne recess, there is sore to be a large audience. Tbe possibility tbat Parnell will alsospeak adds to tbe in terest. He is heard so rarely, and there is so much mystery and singularity about him tbat bis speeches are regarded with great interest. AN IMMENSE LANDSLIDE. LrvERMORE, April 20. Just as train 24 yesterday entered Liverniore pass an immense slide occurred. Tbe engine and baggage car were completely covered with earth. One hundred and fifty men are at work trying to extricate the engine and baggage car. It is not expected tbat tbey will succeed for at least three days, aud it wiil be a mouth before the road can be entirely repaired. The slide is about 300 feet in length and has buried the track to an average depth of ten ieet. Old railroad men in charge of the wreck ing crew say it la tne worst slide tbey have ever seen. Jdow tbe accident occur red without frightful loss of life is a miracle. Jl TAINT OF NIHILISM. London, Apnl 20. The appearance of a taint of nihilism in the czar's own fam ily, as shown by Prince Constantiue's poem addressed to tbe young men of Russia, has produced a great sensation in St. Petersburg. Tbe Daily Noes' corre epondent in . the Russian capital telegraphs the follwing translation in prose of this poetic effusion : My friend and my brother, whose trials arA sn manv. whnui oTfera in an anrp. 41,000 lbs Chop Corn and Oats, whoever thou art, do not despair, for God knows an, Doth all wrong and an misery. Our sacred ideal is desecrated and shat tered, and tbe blood of innocence is flow ing everywhere, yet give not op. All obstacles must fall. Holy freedom shall tear tbe crown ot thorns from her brow: she burst her bonds asunder; shake tbe cross from off her shoulders and reign at last triumphant. This my friend, is no poet's dream, bo vain hope. Look about you. Evil is rampant every where, lhe deepest night surrounds us. The father land is awakened by su tiering, ana. steeped in blood, turns its tearful eyes to heaven and begs for mercy. I am the tempter of fate. Capricious destiny has given me wealth and honor and power. What are tbey to me I The cold, dark grave will swallow, but nature's gifts are dearer to me. She has given song. I will cheer yon to battle tgainst evil. I ask you not to receive me for tbe blood wbicb courees through my veins, Dm be cause I too am prepared to give my life for tbe good and glory ol our common mother, Russia."

Anthor and Origin of AtcGinfy. Tbe man who evolcd from his teeming brain the ballad which narrates the tum bles taken by Dan McGinty is probably at tne present moment the most talked about of any ot tbe minor poets of Amer ica, says the Rochester Democrat end Chronicle: "Down Went McGinty" has arrived at tbe dignity ol being "the" ge ot the day. so when the repor'er was informed that Joe Flinn, the undoubted anthor of the most popular song of the season, was singing it daily and nightly at a local theater, down went the writer to tbe botton of tbe ball that connects the upper tier of dressing-rooms at the opera house and found cimselt in the awlul presence of the original McGinty, wbo was engaged in extricating himself from bis grease paint, preparatory to donning "bis best suit ol clothes." Mr. Flinn is a good lookioe. black- haired and black-eyed yonng tellow. wbo takes tbe success of his muse in the most philosophical and modest manner. Of the origin of tbe famous song he said: "If you ever beard the story of tbe Irish man wbo was successful carried in a hod to the top of a seven story building by a friend, as the result at a bet that tbe feat could not be successfully accomplished and who remarked on paying over tbe money, 'Well, Pat, ye won fairly, bnt when yer foot slipped at the sixth floor, be jabbers, I bad hopes!' You know wbat suggested tbe first verse of the song. If you ever beard the air of tbe old song about tbe old man wbo bad a wooden leg, and who bad' no tobaccy in bis old to baccy box,' you can guess wbere tbe suggestion of tbe lane came from. I wrote tbe song some time last April and did not think very much of it, while my partner, Mr. Sheridan here, thought noth ing of it at all. We tried it on for the nrst time at the Providence opera bonse. Tbat important event took place on the evening of May (ith last. The song caught on at once, and we, and as far as 1 can see, every song-and-nance man, bave been singing it ever since. I sup pose it took me about half an hour tn write the song after I had got tbe chorus in my head." Smith's place on the John Day, where band of sheep awaits them. 1 hey sheared C.

A large-sized revolver was found lying near the body, and a bullet-hole in the man's temple, plainly indicating the cause of death. It is supposed he was in sane. Mullan was well known in the vicin ity of his i esidence. lie was a single mao. about forty-bve years old, and had a moan tain ranch on which he lived alone. It is not learned whether an inquest will be held, but there seems to be no donbt of the cause of his death, which must have been imme diately after the shot was fired. During Sunday atternuon two married women of Waila Walla hired a carriage and took a ride around the suburbs. Tbey bad supplied themselves witb beer, and after driving and drinking for sev eral hours, became intoxicated to such an extent tbat public attention was at tracted. While on Main street they took several drinks in the lull view of passers by and used very obscene language in a loud tone of voice, not seeding to care lor tbe observance taken oi tbem by a number of citizens. Of course, it may be said tbat a woman has tbe same moral right as a man to make a public disgrace ot herself; but when we think ot our mothers, our sisters and oar daughters, it causes a felling of deeiier shame and pity to witness ber downfall than when we bote the every-day occurrence of a man's deviation from the path of rectitude.

There being nothing further of importance to transact, our reporter aiijourned, leaving the convention still in session.

The Dalles is in overy way adapted to the purposes of headquarters for the regiment, and there is no reason why tbe colonel, be cause of a change of residcnce,should disband the organization and carry the headquarters with him.

Communicated. Monkland, Or., April 21, 1890. Editor Tuiiis-Mocxtaineir: Will you kindly give ns space in your columns to explain the facts in rtgard to the primary beld at Monkland the 6th inst. We feel snd know that justice is not being and will not be done till the matter is truth fully brought before the public. The can cus convened at the hour appointed. Wm. Elliott, central committeeman, called the house to order. Dayton Eihott was elected to the chair and W. P. Johnson secretary. ' The ehair stated object of meeting, and ap pointed Wm. Elliott and J. R. Morrison, tellers. On first ballot the following per sons, J. A. Thompson, J. O. Thompson, O. W. Axtell and Frank Bclshce received each 20 yotes. The following four, J. R Morn, son, J. A. Frazer, N. W. Thompson and F. Hawler each received 15 votes. Tbe first four named above were declared elected, and on motion of J. A, Frazier were giyen credentials. A certaiu party then, who by the way was aspiring to till tbe position of delegate to the state convention, with ono or two others suddenly discovered, as they were left, tnat some of their neighbors, whom they had known for years, were Democrats, and raised a cry of fraud. A motion to re-organize was. overruled. - Alter some debate a motion to ratify tbe proceedings was carried without a dissent- -ing yoice. The meeting then adjourned. lhe defeated party then brought out ail their ingenuity to bear nuon a clan to da. feat justice and unseat the delegates elected as shown above. The plan in its incipiency left Monkland early Sunday morn in 17 in care of the candidate tor clerk and would-be state delegate. The way the scheme was brought to its successful consummation at the connty convention clearly shows that they found willing abettors. The plot was so transparent tbat no one needs any light on it who attended the convention. We could not exonerate the chairman of the convention, nor the committee un cre dentials; but have not time now to give de- ti. r..- . , , . - a 11a mur persons seated as Delegates bad no credentials; for if they had they were not signed by the secretary, as he says he did not sign any papers officially, sulise- quent to signing the first four. The chair man of the primary purposely omitted the date and the word Republican from the credentials given. Why? Ia regard to tho charge made, that Demacrata voted: Wo hold a letter sigued by every man who voted for Hayes' delegates denting the charso and stating that they staud ready to quali fy as to their political status past and pres ent. We should not have said much had the precinct been thrown out. but the un heard of act that was done, we will not quietly sit down and sanction. We haye not space to mention the many fabrications that were told by this party to further their cause. Present developments, and future too, will probably call tor more facts. Wo . want all the light that truth and honesty can produce thrown upon the matter. Wo teel that Justice to the defrauded delegate. . and precinct as well demand it. We believe in the axiom that "Right is mighty and will prevail." Anon. "THE KE8CI E." The allssouKaji. A curious tale was told a representee of tbe ilitsouhan recently by Dan O'Brien, a well-known miner of Murray, Idaho. In the Cceur d'Aleoes is a peak, known as tbe "Welshman's Point," Two men, Tbomas Burke and Delaine Llew- ellen, about two years ago discovered a good kad and commenced to excavate' a tunnel in hopes of finding a rich body of ore. Last December they bad succeeded in driving their tunnel a dislance of 170 feet. During the nigbt the two men slept in the tunnel as it was always dry, being through tbe solid rock. Oj tho thirteenth of January a snow slide occured which made the snow fully 100 teet deep in a part of the entrance ot lhe tunnel. At the timo tbe two occupants had but a scant supply of provision. Tbey realized the perilous condition tbey were in and commenced to dig their way out through tbe great bed of snow. For days tbey worked as only mortals can wbo have life at stake, their supply of rations, which was only sufficient to last half a dozen days, continually kept growing less and less, and at last barely sufficient food was left to last a day. At tbis point the spirit of tbe two men dropped to the lowest level, and tbey were about to give up in despair, when suddenly a faint light could be seen breaking through tbe snow bank, and in a short time their joy knew no bounds when half a dozen sturdy miners made their appearance through the snow, after working for four days to reach tbe mouth of the tunnel. Burke and Llewellen were two happy men, and thankful for their deliverance.' A lew days afterwards (bey struck a rich vein of ore, which is likely to make both independenly rich. As a manifestation of their gratitude they bave given each one of the miners wbo assisted in their rescue, an equal Interest witb themselves in tbe rich find. Tbe mine has been. named "The Rescue" by its owners. and promises to be one ot the good mines ol tbe Coiur d'Aiene county. The IlejdquArteia. We copy the following from the Orrgo- an Colonel C. E.

Heppner Gasett& T. E. Fell in speaking of tbe prospects for wool sales during the coming season at Heppner, says: That holders of wool east have been pushing it on tbe market to clear up last year's supply before they commence operations on the coming clip. For this reason sales have increased without a corre, sponding adyance in price. However the tariff bill is well forwarded in a shape which will benefit wool interests, but it has as yet not been reported back to tho house. Should it become a law, or even remain pending before congress until after shearing and local marketing of tbis spring's clip, the grower will find a stronger price offered in anticipation of its ultimate passage. Importations of wool snd woolen goods will continue np to the time the bill will become a law, and manufacturers will not advance prices before they can realize the benefits of the probable new tariff bill For this season speculators are likely to mv higher prices locally than they can obtain of manufacturers at the time of pnrchaso, as tbey did in June of lastveir. Tn-i,. losses of last year are likely to make them cautions buyers nutit the prospects of the tariff are well advanced. The Providence mills expected to have a buyer at H,nn early in tbe season, bnt now write that they nut w uu, uuui tue uuiuue or June. Another buyer w ho has been securing hi. Oregon wool at San Francisco writes that he will come to Oregon in June and ship direct ly from here, so that it is likely that the reputation which Heppner earned as a wool market last year will be sustained for this.
