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. ' CANNOT BE FOUND. Sheridan, Or., June 16. Tbe 17 year- old sen of Jobn Lady, of Grand Ronde, bas mysteriously disappeared. He at tended a picnic in company with his half brother at Ball ton Saturday, and bas not been seen tince 10 o'clock that day. A large party was searching for him Sun day, and a party were dragging Yamhill river for bim to-day, but up to the pres ent time nothing has been "heard from bim. Diligent search and inquiry bas been made all over this part of tbe country, but there is no clue. Foul play is suspected. STANLEY HAS ACCEPTED. Brussels, June 16. Stan'ey bas been tendered and accepted tbe governor gen eralship of the Congo Free State. He will not enter upon the duties until tbe beginning of 1891, noless called upon to assume earlier by King Leopold. - Af'er bis marriage be will go to the United States and lemain till he assumes his duties. THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD. New York, June 16. The largest amphitheatre in America, and probably tbe largest in the woi'.d, was opened to night by the dedication of tbe new Madison Sqnare Garden. Fully 10,000 people were in attendance, of whom more tban 2000 bad to stand. Edward Strauss's oicbestra gave a concert. AN ESCAPED LUNATIC. San Francisco, June 16. George Loy, an asylum patient, escaped Saturday and was found yesterday drowned in a pond a foot and a balf deep, near Stockton. He bad jumped off a small bridge and was found sticking bead first in the mud. HANGED BY A HOB. New Orleans, June 16. George Sway Be, colored, ex-member of the Louisiana legislature, was lynched at East Feliciana yesterday. He bad been ar rested, charged with being a datigerous and suspicious character, and was taken by a mob from the officers and hanged bwayse was distributing circulars to negroes in the parish, adrising them not to take part in the election for state sena tor, to fill a vacancy, which comes off to morrow, as it was purely a Democratic factional fight. A short time ago several leading white citizens .of East Feliciana sent a letter to the manager of the Louis iana lottery, warning bim against at tempting to send emmissaries into that section to influence votes lor the lottery, ana it is alleged that bwayse was on a mission of this kind. STORMY SCENE IN THE COMMONS. London, June 16. There was an excit ing time in the commons to-night. Bal four, replying to Dillon, aenied that the police bad charged upon bim and clubbed tbe people at New Tipperary for lighting bonfires to celebrate tbe marriage of William O'Brien. They put out tbe fires which obstructed the streets. Secroll and Clancy, nationalists, wanted to know how shadowing" persons in Ireland could prevent boycotting. Jiaitour said no one was shadowed un less known to be engaged in intimidation Tbe government would reduce tbe system t farnellites would induce the persons snaaowea to abstain lrom intimidation Parnell asked Balfour to adopt the English presumption that every person accused is innocent until proven guilty. Balfour Will M. Parnell undertake that these people shall not repeat their 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, in wmcn liill accused Balfour of lying and Gladstone challenged bim to prove tbe assertion that tbe liberals resorted to shadowing." Finally Balfour substitut ed the words "intimidation and boycott ing," for "crime" and after a time the bouse quieted down. bhaw Lefevre's amendment to postpone the purchasing of licenses until tho pas sage of tbe act trasferring the licensing power to the countr councils, was re jected. CHOLERA SPREADING. Madrid, June 16. Much alarm is 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. N SUICIDE AT SEATTLE. Seattle, June 16. Katie O'Shaugh nessy, or Dickson, a very pretty young woman, recently from Porland, died at tbe American hotel early this morning 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. Faots And Figures. 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.

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.
