A STORM IS THE EAST.
LocisvnxE, June 13. At Bull creek,
six miles above Marjsvilie, last mgbt,
there was a cloud burst. Tbe creek rose
suddenly and swept away several dwell
log houses and occupabts. A stone cut
vert on the Chcaspeake & Ohio was
washed out while the storm was at its
height, and a freight train into it, causing
a tnghttul wreck. ilDEineer jr. J) , uoaa
cay. jnreman Morns ana crcauman
Charles Eaton were buried beneath tne
wreck. Tbe bodies have not vet been re'
covered. A dozen persons living on the
banks of Bull creek are reported drowned.
The following bodies were found :
John Ruggrles, fisherman.
Lucy P. Estler, widow, and two daugh
ters, Bettie and Julia; and her two sons.
A little later a mixed passenger train
would have passed over the fatal culvert,
where the freight train went down, when
the loss would have been appalling. The
clouds suddenly bursting, caused a rapid
rise in tbe creek. Farmers say the creek
rose two feet per minute, and the water
looked like a wall tweDty five fuet high,
when it got to the railroad fill. Irwin's
portable sawmill was lifted from its fast
enings, and with over 100 big logs hurled
violently against the railroad stone cuv-
vert. This is probably what caused it to
give away. The creek rose two teet
higher than it has been in forty vears.
The severity of tbe storm caused many
persons on Bull creek to abandon their
homes and take to tbe bills, else the loss
of life would have been greater. The
storm did much damage to buildings,
fences and crops in that portion of the
country. Some half-dozen ' persons are
yet missing, but it is believed they will
turn up all right.
Chicago, June 13. Another extremely
severe rain and lightning storm occurred
in Southern Indiana and Ohio to-day. At
some points considerable damage was
done. At New Albany, Ind., a score of
people were prostrated by lightning, but
none were seriously injured. -
. NOTES FROM NANAIMO.
Nanaimo, B. C, June 13. Advices
from Juneau are that on June 9, Deputy
Collector Blackett and United Stales
Marshal Endilman trade an important
capture on Admiralty island, fifteen miles
down. They surprised tbe illicit still of
Hawthorne & Co., and their entire outfit
is now locked up for evidence.
JNot since 18o4 nave such hare: times
been known in Juneau. For tbe many
honest claims offered no takers appear.
which is probably tbe result of the Bear's
Nest fiasco.
The United States court, Hon. Jobn S.
Begbee, is now in session having a big
docket.
The United States ship Pinta wai here
with tbe governor who was returning
from Southern Alaska, collecting material
for his annual report.
Captain Hunter with the steamer Elder
inadvertently stole a march on the resi
dents of tbe town, on bis return, from
Sitka, coming in at midnight and leaving
at daylight. He left much mail and there
was some indignation when business men
awoke to find tbe steamer gone.
IJYERY STABLE BURNED. "
Ellenbbubgh, June 13. At an early
hour this morning a lantern exploded in
the hay mow of tbe large livery stable of
McNeill, Wallace & Co., and in an instant
the entire structure was in flames and was
soon destioyed. - Tbe men sleeping in tbe
Darn narrowly escaped Willi their lives.
About fifteen tons of bay, several
carriages and sets of harness burned.
Tbe loss is estimated at about 16000; in
surance. $4uuu. l lie same turn was
burned out in tbe great fire of less than a
year ago.
RIVERS AKD HARBORS.
Washington, June 15. The senate
committee on commerce, which has been
handling the river and harbor bill for a
little less than two weeks, will likely re
port it to tbe senate by the middle of this
week. Senator Frye says be expects to
have it ready on Wednesday. By refus.
ing to give hearings to any but senators
aud members of tbe bouse and ex-senators
and ex members, the committee has sim
plified its work very materially and has
hastened completion of tbe bill by several
weeks. Tbe bill, as it came from tbe
bouse, appropriated S20.000.000. In
creases thus far made by the senate com
mittee, aggregate about $4,000,000, other
increases will be offered in tbe senate and
urged there, and it is likely the bill will
go into conference with the aggregate of
123,000,000 or very little less. It is
currently reported at the capitol that tbe
speaker of tbe bouse bas said be will not
allow the bill to go through unless it is
scaled down 25 per cent, lrom the amount
appropriated by the bonse bill ; that is,
unless tbe aggregate appropriation is re
duced to about $15,000,000. This means
that the bill will be in conference for a
long time, probably a month. Reed can
instruct tbe conferees at the time of their
appointment, if tbey are willing to take
instructions from bim. Frye, chairman
of tbe committee on commerce, will make
an effort to have tbe bill taken np and
disposed of before the tariff debate begins,
so that tho long conference will have a
chance to be concluded.
A FATAL LIGHTNING STROKE.
Paris, Ky , June 15. A tenific thunder
and lightning storm passed over tbe north
ern part of this county about 4 o'clock on
Friday afternoon. Two of a fishing party
were killed and two others badly injured.
Tbey took shelter under a couple of
troughs. Lightning struck tbe troughs
and Joseph Speaks, aged 18, and Lish
Wilson (colored), aged 15, weie killed.
Blanton Speaks was badly burned about
the face and one of bis eyes was forced
from its socket. Ward Nennon was also
stunned and dazed and knew nothing for
hours. Although able to walk home, a
distance of two miles, be was onable to
talk or give any account of his compan
ions. After a while Blanton Speaks got
home and all he could say was "tbe
trough," meaning that the other boys
could be found at tbe trough. He has
since been unconscious and will probably
die.
A MURDEROUS RIOT.
Bouldkb Creek, Cal., Jane 15. This
afternoon Harmon's mill, three miles
north of here, was tbe scene of a danger
ous riot. Tbe white men acd . Italians
who work at tbe mill quarreled over some
labor matters. This enraged tbe Italians
and a riot followed in which Fred Bium
bart was shot and instantly killed and
Frank Buddman severely wounded.
None of the Italians were wounded.
Both parties used pistols and clubs freely.
A laborer named Smith bad a narrow es
cape. He was shot at three times. Each
shot struck a stick which be bad in bis
band and glanced off. Four Italians and
three white men, supposed to be impli
cated, were arrested.
DEATH AT A SUNDAY PICNIC.
Cleveland, O., June 15. Nearly 5000
people assembled at Bejeries park in tbe'
southern part of the city to-day to see a
man jump from a rope stretched across an
artificial lake. When tbe jumper made
tbe descent, tbe crowd of people on a
rustic footbridge, about ten feet above the
ground, along tbe face of tbe bluff, made
a rusb to where he struck the water. The
bridge collapsed, and the mass of timber
and people went down on tbe footpath be
neath wbicb was crowded with sightseers.
At least twenty-five persons were injured.
more or less seriously. Eight of them
bad to be taken to tbe hospital and two
will die.
A NEW WAR SCARE.
Vienna, June 15. The echoes of the
sensational speech which was made yes
terday by the Austrian minister of war,
Baron von Bauer, arc reverberating
through Europe to the considerable con
sternation of people who are easily fright
ened. iiaron von Bauer s concluding
words:
"Things as tbey are can not last long
there must be a catastrophe or a general
purification."
Are interpreted as meaning that either
war or disarmament is inevitable in tbe
near future. As the latter proposition is
impossible, tbe alternative idea of war
bas renewed the old scare, although with
probably as little reason as on former
occasions.
inspection of pacific roads.
Washington, June 15. When W. B.
Thompson, the bookkeeper of tbe office of
the commissioner of railroads, started
Wettl yesterday, to make the annual ex
amination of the books and accounts of
tbe subsidized Pacific railroads, in order
to ascertain the amounts due the United
States for the past year, under tbe Thur-
man act, he was accompanied by Assist
ant Bookkeeper F. E. Storm and George
W. Jii vans, disbursing clerk of the interior
department, who has been detailed to
assist in tbe examination. They will stou
in (jnioago and Umana to look into the
anairs oi the bioux City and Jfacinc and
Union Pacific Companies, after which
they will proceed to San Francisco to ex
amine tbe books of the Central Pacific
Company. They will be absent alwut
five weeks. The commissioner of rail
roads will make an inspection of the
Northern Pacific road, leaving this citv
about August 1. Mr. Hazzard, chief en
gineer, who is now in tbe Northwest on
official business, will accompany bim.
BIG WHALE WASHED ASHORE.
San Diego, Cal., June 15. A whale
seventy feet long was washed inside the
breakers to-day at Lcncadia,1 some dis
tance np tbe coast, and was finally secured
by two residents of the place, and will be
dried out for oil. The monster was alive
when captured, but died in a short time.
having been severely wonnded in a en
counter with a swerd fish or some other
antagonist at sea.
LITTLE BOY BURNED TO DFATH.
San Francisco, June 15. Thl9 after
noon two little sons of Micheal Kirby
were playing with matches in a dry goods
box in a stable on Castro street when tbe
bay caught fire. The elder boy ran and
told bis father about the fire, not ment
ioning bis brother whom he left in the
box, and whom be went back to rescue
himself. He was unable to lift bim out
of tbe box, and then told his father. It
was then too late, as tbe father could not
reacb him for the flames. The fire de
partment extinguished the flames but
tbe boy was dead. He was about four
and a half years old.
FORTY OR SIXTY LIVES LOST.
Pittsburg, June 16. An exolosion in
the Farm hill mine, near Dunbarre, Pa.,
occurred this morning and only ten men
escaped with their lives. At least fortv
men are still in tbe pit, and it is believed
tbey have suffocated. Tbe loss of life
cannot yet be given.
Another dispatch from Connellsville
says : An explosion of dam p gas occurred
to day in Farm-hill mine, at Dunbarre.
All the men in tbe pit except fifteen bave
been taken out badly injured. The others
are thought to be dead. A volunteer
party is digging for them.
A private dispatch says that sixty-five
men were in tbe mine and only fifteen
have been rescued. It Is believed the
others are dead.
It is feared that all of tho forty men
still in tbe mine were killed by the ex
plosion, or bave been suffocated. The
excitement is very great, and it is impos
sible to render any assistance up to tbe
present time.
THEY ALL WORK HARD.
Washington, June 16. Senator Dolph
to-day offered some amendments to tbe
bill for tbe adjudication of Indian depre
dation claims. He says tbe biil reported
from the committee provides tonly for
claims where property was destroyed by
Indians belonging to tribes in amity with
the United States which the department
construes to be treuty relations. He cays
tbe pioneers of tbe Oregon territory were
induced to go there and settle before there
were treaties with the Indians aod before
tbe Indian title was extinguished. Tbe
bill as reported would cut on many
Oregon and Washington claims. His
amendments provide for all claims; also
to change tbe limitations of claims from
1867 to 1887.
instant death on the rail.
Chicago, June 15. Otto and Hermann
Berta. aged 12 and 15 respectively, lett
Lake Front park to-day and started across
tho network of railway tracks between it
and the lake. Suddenly a passenger
train, coming at a rapid speed, attracted
the attention of tbe boys, who stood still
on tbe track, apparently petrified with
fear. Tbe engine blew her whistle and
throngs of people in tbe park shouted, but
tbe boys did not move and before a band
could be lifted to save them tbey were
struck and killed.

section to influence votes lor the lottery,

police bad charged upon bim and clubbed
tbe people at New Tipperary for lighting

snaaowea to abstain lrom intimidation
Parnell asked Balfour to adopt the
English presumption that every person

Balfour Will M. Parnell undertake

crimes f
This question brought out laud Parnell
ite cries of "what crime?" Amidst
tremendous uproar Dillon brgan an ex
cited speech, denouncing Balfour and
demanding an apology for tbe use of the
woid "crime." A stormy scene ensued,

occasioned by tbe. continued spread of
cholera at Pueblao de Rugat. The
authorities are making strong efforts to
stamp out tbe disease, but so far have
been unsuccessful. New cases are report
ed daily. Yesterday there were four
deaths and nine new cases. Doctors are
greatly overworked. Authorities have
telegraphed to Valencia asking for phy
sicians and drugs, which are running
short. Tbe total number of cases thus
far is ninety-one. One of the persons who
fled for safety died at Albaida. Dr. Can
dela, an expert, declares the disease to be
tbe true Asiatic cholera.

from a self-administered dose of morphine.
About two weeks ago Edward Dickson,
a carpenter, engaged rooms 23 and 23 at
the American bouse, which be and the
O'Shaughnessy woman at once occupied,
every one in tbe house looking upon them
as man and wife. No one in the house
knew anything about the couple. Some
days ago the woman left rooms 22 and 23
and took room No. 1 in the same house.
It was rumored at the time that Dickson
ana tne woman Dad trouble, and thfue
latter bad attempted to commit s
Tbe trouble between tbe coupl
smoothed over in a few days. Last
saoriiy atter i o ciock, JJickson repo
to tbe proprietor of the bouse that t
O'Shaughnessy woman was very ill in
room. Doctors were at once summoned
and were informed that the woman had
taken an overdose of morphine. Soon
after tbe arrival .of the physicians the
woman became unconscious, and although
every effort was made to save ber lile she
died at about 5 o'clock this morning.

The Dalles, June 12, 1890.
Editor Tixxs-Moustaikiib.
Believing that interested parties are
misrepresenting the statement I made at
tbe meeting in tbe opera house last Mon
day night, I desire tbe space to repeat it.
In substance it was "that I would ven
ture to say without fear of successful con
tradiction by any one qualified to judge
of such matters, that, icdejiendent of tbe
expenses imperative with any system,
tbe expenses of running a pumping sta
tion would not exceed $400 per month."
The items on which this estimate is
based would be 60 cords of wood per
month, at $2.50 per cord on the riyer
bank, amouuting to $150; one competent
engineer at $100 per month, and $15 per
mouth for oil and packing; total $265.
This would be the minimum expense,and
it is within tbe boundaries of safety to pot
the maximum at $400.
It is not proper to state the expense ol
maintaining pipe lines or collecting water
rates as tor or against any system tbey
are imperative with either a gravity or
pumping system. Neither is it possible
to make a just comparison between a
pumping engine and one used in a grist
mill or in an electric light works; the
work to be done is different, and the con
struction and motion ladically altered.

rests the "mother. Price 25 cents a bottle.
There can be no fear entertained of
high water this year, and those contempla

at once.

ITEMS IN BRIEF.
From Saturday's Daily.
Moody and water.
Wat(er) are you giving us?
Water or no water, that is the question.
Water or no water, that is the issue
to-night aud Monday.
There will be no question discussed un
til after Monday night but water. Our
people are dry.
Mr. Alleboff and famUy left on yester
day morning's train for Portland, where
they go to reside.
Mr. Robert Mays, Jr., who has been
visiting in the city for the past week, left
to-day for bis home at Antelope.
Another lot of excursionists visited the
city last evening. They thoroughly exam.
ined everything within the environs of the
city.
Putnpinc means eood water for our fami
lies, protection for our homes. The opposi
tion means paying revenue to Portland and
her capitalists.
Moody bas placed himself squarely on
record in favor of city water. Give the
boy a chance to redeem his tromises. Ho
has no affiliation with any of tbe present
owners oi J. lie Ualles water works.
dumping lrom tbe Columbia river
means water at an early day. Buying
cue old company out, means no new sys
tern of waterworks foranumber of years;
perhaps not at all.
A reception was given the graduating
class at tbe residence of Mr. W. A. Mc-
Farlaud, in this citv last evening. A very
pleasant and agreeable time was had, and
all enjoyed themselves.
Several hundred soldiers passed through
the city to-day en route to Walla Walla,
These were members ot tbe fourth cav
airy from Vancouver, Wash, and were
transferred to Walla Walla and Cceur
d'Alcne. -
Any opposition to Moody is opposition
to tbe most available candidate the friends
of city water have. He is on record in
favor of an immediate supply, and those
opposed to him are in favor of still being
ruled- by tbe Jfortland syndicate.
Mr. Wm. F. Dugan, representing
Dugan Bros- hydraulic engineers of Sa
lem, Or., is in the city. Ho has been
examining our sources of water supply,
and tbe distance to be pumped and piped
before putting in a bid to put in the
same. Mr. Dugan bas put tbe pumps in
peration in Baker Citv, and understands
the business.
Lexington Budget: Rain is badly needed
some localities in this county. While
many fields are still in the best of condi
tion, there aru others that are already
burned in spots. As a general thing little
club is of short growth, though the heads
are good, and a shower wonld cause an av
erage yield. Blue stem shows np better.
The opinion prevails that an immediate rain
necessary for a full crop.
Hood River Glacier: P. H, Preston, the
head sawyer in Stoddard's npper mill, met
with an accident Thursday morning which
will lay bim np for some time. The saw
had been heating and be was feeling to nnd
where it was hot, when tbe motion of tbe
saw drew his hand in between it and the
euide. The palm of his hand was burned
-and lacerated and the back torn and braised
by tha guide. He had been at work only a
short time coming here from Salem lost
Monday. He took yesterday afternoon's
passenper for home.
Hood River Olaaer: James Langille left
yesterday for Cloud Cap Inn, where he will
begin tbe erection of a number ot cottages.
Their completion tfill double the capacity
of the hotel, and no doubt more yet will be
required. From present information there
will be a large number of visitors at the Inn
during the summer. Mr. Adams has the
road about cleared, except a mile near the
hotel, which is yet covered with snow drifts
to sacb an extent as to prevent the passing
of stages. The hotel will be opened next
week even should the last mile have to be
iraveiea on norscoacs.
From Monday's Daily.
Election day.
The election is over.
Some of the candidates are in the soup.
Mr. L C Richards, a resident of Klicki-
county, is in tbe city.
The weather is cool, bat it will be cooler
to-night for some candidates.
Mrs. James M. Smith, of Seattle, is vis
iting relatives and friends in tbe city.
Last evening it looked very much like
rain; but as usual the clouds drifted away.
Mr. Uren, of the firm of Uren & Son,
Prineville, has been in tbe city during the
week. -
The cool weather has kept the river at a
moderate stage, and no fears of high water
are now entertained.
Wool is coming into the city in very lib
eral amounts, and the price asked is too
high to please buyers.
Candidates bad to work hard yesterday;
because they only had one day in which to
make and nnmake votes.
The boy who found the trunk full of um
brellas under the bridge will confer a favor
by leaving his name at this office.
Mr. Geo. Taylor, who bas been in the
employ of Mr. Jos. T. Peters, will leave
to-night for bis old home in Illinois.
Mrs. T. A. Hongbton and Mrs. Waters
started east on the "flyer" last Saturday.
Tbey will yisit several points before their
return
Reports from the country continue favor
able for crops, and if rain should fall in
some portions there would be an abmdant
harvest.
There was a knock-down on the corner of
Court and Second this morning. Tbe cause
was not politics, bat soma previous misun
derstanding. Carriages were hourly running to and
from the polls to distant parts of tbe city
to-day. Every available vote was brought
to the polling places.
Mr. Georgf N. Peterson, of Biggs, was in
town Saturday. George is badly afflicted
with rheumatism, and came into the city
for medicrl attendance.
Mr. Paul Kreft, the painter, will leave
to-night to work on cars, section houses,
etc., from Grant to Huntington. He will
be absent three or four months.
The election was very exciting to-day,
and, though not placed before the nominat
ing convention, there were many curbstone
political "strikers" for Judge L,iebe,
The election paper did not arrive until
J uJO this morning, and printeis had an all
night job. Tbe Times-Mountainekr
printed about 10,000 tickets, and other
offices were also busy. .
The principal feature of the contest to
day was on the water question. Mr.
Moody has placed himself on record in
favor of an immediate supply, and tbe peo
ple have endorsed his action.
Up to the time of going to press to-day
the polls were still open, and voters were
depositing their ballots. Tbe indications
point to the election of the regularly nomi
nated ticket, with one or more possible ex
ceptions. We are sorry to learn that Prof. Tor belt
bas resigned his position as principal of the
Wakco Independent academy. It would be
very much for the interest of the school if
the directors could induce him to withdraw
bis resignation.
We are informed that several sheep were
doisoned while passing through a region of
country about ten miles from town. Mr.
R. II Guthrie drove in a band of aheep this
morninp, and lost about thirty head from
this cause.
During the election to-day the necessity
of the Australian system of voting was
fully demonstrated. It would put a stop to
these curb-stone politicians, who are
willing to devote their time and energies
to the success of any candidate
, The Dalles may well feel proud of its in
stitutions of learning. Tbe Wasco academy,
under the principalship of Prof. Torbett,
has been more than usually successful, and.
the graduating class, by tbe manner in
which they acquitted themselves, did credit
to bis scholarly attainments. St. Mary's

Sisters of the Holy names, has a wide-spread 1

their carcasses create an intolerable stench
for miles arouud since the advent of hot
weather, especially where large bunches
perished. The settlers, in order to abate
this nuisance, have commenced burning
them up as the best means of purifying the
atmosphere. The loss in many places is es
timated at 75 per cent, and will average
not less than 50 per cent, of the loss
throughout Eastern and Northern Siskiyou
and most of Southern Oregon, says the
Yreka Journal.
The remains of a dead man were dis
covered in a slough at the mouth of Three
Mile yesterday. As soon as Coroner Mi-
cbell was notified of tbe fact, he immediate
ly proceeded to the scene; but found it
difficult to bring the body, in its decom
posed state, to shore. It is presumed tha
man had been drowned several weeks, as
tne skin was loose, and hanmnz in rairsed
folds all over tbe body. There was nothing
on tbe remains but a pair of cheap pants
tbe pockets turned inside out and a pair
of brogan shoes. It is very evident the
man was the person drowned at tbe mouth
of the Jobn Day some days since, montion
of which was make in these columns. A
jury went out to-day, viewed tbe remains
and returned a verdict.

Portland, Oregon. Far week ending June
14,1890:
The week has been cool and partly cloudy,
with light sprinkles of rain on Sunday,
Monday and Saturday. Ths catcall was
light and did not much more than to lay
the dost. Vegetation of all kinds would be
benefited by good heavy rains, and es
pecially would the wheat crop be benefited.
The weather, however, has not been injuri
ous to crops; tbe cool, cloudy weather be
it,, m ItAmAfiMi.l ,t,.n -l nr, 1 1 warm
weather would be, but rain is what
needed for the growth and maturing of i
grains, vegetables, eto.
Haying is generally in progress and light
yields are generally reported. The coo
tinned dry weather proved to be quite In
jurious to the hay crop in most sections.
Tbe fall and early sown spring wheat are
in good condition. They would be benefited
by rain, but if no dry north winds prevail,
the crop will average very welt. The lata
sown spring grain continues to be in a poor
condition, and less than one-half the aver
age from spring sown, grain is expected.
Barley, rye sod oats are doing quite
Corn has a slow growth owing to the 00
weather. Hops are reported as prog
nicely. Vineyards are healthy and
leut prospects are shown by them.
Eastern
Oregon crop reports are more hopeful than
from the Willamette valley. Fruit, how
ever, in tha Willamette valley is in as fine a .
condition as could be desired, and Southeta
Otegon promis (it eclipse former year
her fruit yield. The strawberry crop i
coming exhausted, and cherries ars noi
plentiful in the market.
The rivers continue to fall slowly and 1
ports do not indicate that there is mul
now to be melted.
