STORM STILL BEATING CALIFORNIA.
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,

Tbe body was not recovered. Tbe team
was also drowned.

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.

Streams roo mightily Thursday and Fri

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

Freighting has begnn from Heppner to

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

one would bring. Improve your stock, and
you will realize handsomely from the move.

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

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.

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

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."

East Oreqonian: John Mullan, wbo lived
bve miles from Alba, on tbe John Day road,
shot and killed himself yesterday, April 18,
about eight o'clock in the morning, at bis
home. 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

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.

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."

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.

Wool Pronpeetn.
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.
