The Trouble in Cork.
Cork, Oct. 30. The infirmaries of this
city have been bnsy since early morning
attending the injuries of persons hurt in
last night's rioting. There are now ninety-two
patients in the hospital suffering
from wounds received during the fighting.
This number is in addition to a much
larger number of persons who are being
treated at tneir own homes.
With the light of morning came tbe
startling announcement that the police
were in possession of information going to
show that a plot bad been concocted to
assassinate William O'Brien. At first the
story was believed to be a canard, but as
soon as it becaoe known that O JJnen
bad hurriedly decamped in consequence
of tbe discovery, tbe excitement became
intense. At the moment of filing this
dispatch, tbe streets are filled with angry
men who threaten to arm themselves
with more deadly weapons than black
thorns and stones. Strong guards of po
lice arc stationed in tbe vicinity ol gun
shops and wherever it is possible to ob
tain firearms, and are doing tbeir utmost
to keep tbe turbulent raob3 in motion,
but it is a difficult task. Tbe report ol
the murderous consuiracy terribly en
raged the .McCartbyiles, who threaten to
cist aside even the slight restraint which
hey have tlfus far put upon themselves
and outdo the I'arnellites in deeds ot vio
lence. At an early hour Davitt arrived
to fiill engagements with O'Brien. Mean
lime the law-abiding citizens are becom
lug seriously apprehensive that tbe events
which are disgracing the Irish cause in
this city will assume dimensions so great
as to make imperative tbe calling out of
British troops to protect the Irish people
from themselves. Candidates will be
formally placed in nomination Tuesday
next, and the election, will occur the
following Friday. The Parnellites deny
they intend giving up tbe fight in the
event of tbe defeat of John Redmond for
election to a Beat in tbe bouse of com
mons for Cork made vacant by Parnell's
death. They will, they insist, adhere to
their intention to hold a eenral conven
tion.
The C'3lor Line.
Columbia, N. C, Oct. 30. A question
akin to that of the negro in the church
rill come np at Orangeburg, in this
state, to-morrow niht, the conference
being between representatives of the
Young Men's Christian Association of this
Btateand members of the National Y. M.
C. A. Mr. Wynn, secretary for this state,
savs that the matter is one ot great in
terest, and an effort will be made to settle
the status of the colored people with
respect to local organizations. It is not
at all likely that any proposition looking
to tbe membership of the negro will
either be tolerated or entertained before
the meeting. It is understood that
several of the Northern delegates are not
altogether opposed to considering the
eligibility of tbe colored members. Mr.
Wynn says that ample means may and
should be provided for the establishment
and maintenance ol colord associations.
but that they must be absolutely f res
from social alliances. The question is a
novel one, and has been under advise
ment for some time, but the unanimous
sentiment ot all tbe Southern delegates is
in opposition to any recognition of colored
men as' members of while organizations,
even 14 Christian work.
Mynterlous DMwnlag of a liargemas
ter at Astoria.
Astobia, Oct, 30. C. Nelson, a barge-
master on government barge No; 7, myste
riously dissappeard tbis morning while
bis barge was at anchor in the stream,
and tbe supposition is that be is drowned.
The steamer Cascades dropped No. 7 and
two other barges in Scow bay at 7 o'clock
and Nelson was then coiling np tbe lines,
but when tbe tug Mendell went up an
hour later to tow the barge to Fort
Stevens, be could not be found, although
the cabin door was open and bis bat on
the table. Captain Wbitcomb, of tbe
Cascades, states tbst there was quite a
swell on when he dropped the barge, and
be thinks that be was thrown overboard
by a sudden larch of the craft and
drowned. The crew of the steamer
searched all day for tbe body, but failed
to recover it. Nelson was a Sweede,
aged 35 years.
Situation la SerI6us.
Santiago, Oct. 30 United States Min
ister JEgan, Captain Scbley. of the Balti
more, and William B. McCreery, United
States consul at Valparaiso, were in close
consnltation throughout tbe day, and
though it is not possible to obtain any
dennite statement from them for publica
tion regarding the nature of tbe result of
their long deliberations, it can be said
they all consider tbe reply of tbe junta
to Minister Egan, askiog for a proper
explanation ot tbe Valparaiso collision, as
decidedly insulting to the Uuited States
government. It is also known they regard
the situation at present as serious. Tbe
reply of the iunta, they think, means
practically that Cbili is iudignant at tbe
demands made by the linited States gov
ernment, that she will take her own time
to consider the matter, and when the
junta has reached a conclusion, that the
government will settle tbe matter wi tr
out references to the views af tbe United
State3 on tbe subject. The reply of tbe
junta, tbey further say, tails to express
any regret for tbe murder ot tne Balti
more's men, nor it there in that docu
ment any expression of regret as to tbe
conduct of the police in using their bay
onets in arresting the liaitimore s men.
TliroaisH a feiea of Flames.
Wichita, Kan., Oct. 80, Wi'.lard
Bone, who has just arrived from tbe
western part of the state, reports tenfic
prairie fires in Gray and Ford counties.
For miles, tbe Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe train, on which be was' a passenger.
traveled through a sea of flame, with
every window and ventilator fastened
down. From tbe tra'n,. be asserts, could
be seen burning farm buildings and
stacks of hay and grain, and the people
and stock fleeing before tbe names.
Bone fears there must have been a num
ber nf human lives and many bead of
stock lost. In tbe viemty of Beaumont,
Butler county, thousands of acres of
grazing lands were burned over last
mgbt, fences destroyed and stock burned,
or scatttered in all directions.
ffan 3Iut Come Home.
New Yobk, Oct. 30. The Post states,
on the authority of a gentleman in this
city who is in the confidence of the
Chilian government, that Chili instiucted
Senor Monti some time ago to demand
tbe recall ot Minister igan as pertona
non grata to the present Chilian authori
ties. It also states that tbe demand was
shelved to await tbe arrival of Senor
Montt's credentials as Chilian .minister
to tbis country. Tbese arrived a few days
as-o. and the demand was then repeated,
but tbe state department has taken no
action yet.

Cioatemala Kipe For War.
San Fkakcisco. Oct. 31. "There is a
great deal more truth in the reports con
cermug' inc danger ot a revolution in
Guatemala than any man from that
country will have the bravery to admit,'
Baid E. M. Hand, of San Benito, Mexico
last night. "I have seen the denials that
have been priuted in tbe form of inter
views with Guatemala people and I know
bow false they are. I live on the border
land between Guatemala and Mexico,
and but a few rcilea. from the line. 1 am
in Guatemala almost as much aB in
Mexico, and, besides. L occupy such a
position that no man in Guatemala can
harm me. I can assure you that there is
danger, and real danger, of a civil war
in Guatemala. Tbe common people are
disgusted with Barrilias, and determined
to overthrow him. So sure as he at
tempts to hold the office of president,
after bis term expires, so certainly will
war be made upon him. Tbe people
feel that be intends to succeed himself
and" are already preparing for emergency.
I hey have been overtaxed and down
trodden by tbe government and have
seen the amount in tbetteasury of Guate
mala grow smaller while the magnitude
of Barrilias' fourtune has increased.
They are resolved to fight.
Jxigb-Handed Sinnsglers.
San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 31. United
States Revenue Collector Bell arrived
here to day from an extended inspection
trip along the Rio Grande borders. He
states that a. large number of bandits for
some time have been boldly engaged in
smuggling operations along the border
near Romea. They are a terror to the custom-bouse
and honest citizens. It was
former! the custom of smugglers to bring
dutiable articles from Mexico into this
country, but now nearly all the smug
gling that is being done along that part o
the border is- from tbe United States to
Mexico. The duty on dress goods and
tobacco was raised by the Mexican gov
ernment not long ago. This heavy duty
has caused this.ebange in the smuggling
business, and great quantities of leaf to
bacco and prints are sold by merchants
on this side to - professional smugglers.
Tne custom-bouse guards are unable to
prevent this violation of tne law, and the
smugglers are said to be desperate -char
acters. mey go well armed and in
sufficient numbers to overcome any resiS'
tance the guards may make. Tbey
understand that if captured on tbe Mex
ican side .death is certain, and so they
give no quarter when they come in con -tact
with government soldiers or officers.
A Horrible Deatb.
Panama, Nov. 1. Saturday a naked
telephone wire was detached - by some
street arabs so that it hung from the
support to tbo ground, trailing over a
certain wire from the electric light plant.
A police othcer commenced to haul it.
The act of drawing caused it to cut
through the rubber insulation of. the
electric wire. The . officer received a
shock which rendered him 'Unconscious,
A great crowd gathered, and before the
electric light company could be notified
to. shut off the current, a horse bitched
to a car was. driven over the wire" and
killed. The cabman in attempting to
extricate bis animal from the harness,
thinking be had simply fallen, was struck
on tbe forehead by tbe swinging wire,
which bit through the skull, almost to
bis ears, and their remained. Tbe electric
fluid litterly filled the man's head, and
in a moment the brain and eyes had been
completely incinerated. The flesh and
skin smoked and sizzled until they also
were reduced almost to ashes. AH this
while tbe sparks played about his bead
in an awful shower, the eyes literally
glowing and radiating and consuming
the fire. There were no other casualties.
Aa Enffiisli Alliance.
Santiaqo, - Oct, 31. Though ther
were no new developements to-day, the
political atmosphere 'shows no signs of
clearing. Tbe junta, through its organs
is now claiming the police of Valparaiso
were in no way at fault for the assault on
tbe sailors of the Baltimore, or -in tbeir
subsequent treatment of, them. Tbis,
with other matters, notably tbe expecta-
. - . i- t a r : . -r .., i
nun iudi minister xgan win oe soon di
rected to present an ultimatum to tbe
junta, is naturally-causing great;- excite
ment. The possib'hti's of serious trouole
with the United States bas led the Chil
eans into what may turn out to be a
dangerous, delusive belief. They teem
of tbe opinion that an alliance with Great
Britain could be formed. Indeed, the
Cbillians are already gravely discussing
tbe possibilities and probabilities of such
an alliance between Chili and Great Brit
ain against the United Stales.
Five Idves LomC.
Berlin, Nov. 1. An exciting scene
was witnessed last night at Bcrgedorf, a
suburb of Hamburg, when . the bote
Scbwerin was burned and five lives lost
Many narrow escapes of the inmates were
made and the work of tbe -fireman was.
owing to the construction of the building
and the rapidity with which tbe flames
spread, full of danger. A company of
negro minstrels, wbo bad b:en play. ng in
Hamburg, were' 'odged in the -upper
story ot the hotel. Thrre of tbem fouad
;heir escape cut off and though their
doom seemed to be sealed, two brave
fireman volcntered, in the face of almost
certain death, to go to their assistance.
Just as the two rescuers bad reached tbe
floor, on which tbe three minstrels we.e
hemmed in by names, the building col
lapsed and all five were plunged into tbe
blazmg mass and perisned.
The Japan Earthquake.
London, Oct. 31. A private dispatch
received here from Japan says tbe loss oi
life by the recent earthquake on the
island of .Hondo and other places was
very great. Over 2000 persons were
killed and 18,000 bouses destroyed in tbe
province of Nagoyo. Five thousand
bouses were destroyed and that number
ot persons killed at Gifu. Tbe towns ot
Kano and nassamateu are also reported
destroyed, together with fifty miles of
railroad. It is estimated tbat tbe total
loss ot life may be over 10,000. There
have been many wrecks about the island
of Hondo as a consequence of tbe distur
bance. TWENTY-FO UK THOUSAND LOST.'
Yokohama, Oct. -31, Tbe earthquake
which occurred Wednesday last passed
from east to west. Waters were cast up
seething as if drawn from'a cauldron, and
bursting upon tbe lowlands, flooded
wnoie districts. Many- persons were
drowned before they had even a chance
to escape. At the present moment tbe
lowest estimate of killed and drowned
throughout the empire places the number
at 24.UUU.
A Cowardly Murder.
San Dieg6, Nov. --Captain Charles
Fitzallen, A. L. Isham, and Mrs. Chitten
den, till well-known, residents ef this city,
went to tbe ranch of tbe captain, near
San Miguel mountain, this afternoon to
look after a break in a fenee. While-
Captain Fitzallen was kneeling, fixing
some broken wire, the others being near,
W. o. Koot, who owns the propeity ad
jomiag, approached and ordered Fitz
alien to leave the fence alone. Fitzallen

An Italian Fiend.
Hazelton, Pa., Nov. 2. Lizzio Drom,
aged 14 years, was attacked by an Italian
at Turlock last night, as she was leaving
a church on Green street, in the most
populous part of the city. Tbe Italian
sprang from behind a tree as she was
passing, and seizing her by the throat,
shoved her violently against a fence.
The girl fought the villain bravely, but
the firm clutch at her throat prevented
tier at hrst lrom making any ontcry. By
a desperate effort, however, she wrenched
the Italian's band away and screamed
loudly for help. Her cnos of "Murder!"
caused a commotion among the congre
gatio i, who we e just coming from the
church. P. F. Boyle, president of the
council, who witnessed tbe assault, and a
number of others ran to the girl s rescue.
When tbe" fiend saw them approaching.
he let go of his victim and ran down tbe
street. A number of the congregation
followed. He- dodged through several
streets closely followed by bis pursuers,
and finally managed to make his escape.
The girl was badly frightened, and part
of her clothing was torn, but she sus
tained no serious injur? from the assault.
She believes she could recognize her as
sailant again, and tbe police are already
looking for him. His motive no doubt
was robbery, as tbe girl wore some iew-
elry, whose glitter probably attracted bis
attention and invited the attack. Con
sidering the locality and time of the at
tempted robbery, the assault was one of
tbe boldest ever made in this city.

were married, and then proceeded at
once to tbe home of tbe bride, where

Complaints are made in reference to the
hoodlums in this city, who are in .the habit
of defacing fences and gates from mere mis
chief. A citizen told us this morning that
since the fire he repainted his fence 'and
gate, and the pickets are all scratched np
apd the gate whittied by knives. This
should be .stopped, as it does no earthly
good, and destroys property. If the Yan
kee propensity of destructivaness and of
something upon which to nse. knife
blades is very fully developed boys should
exercise tbese mclinations upon something
else than newly painted fences or gates.
Albany Herald:; W. S. Johns, wbo has
recently had some trouble with David
Holthes, wbo was arrested for trying to
kidnap John's stepdaughter, Says that he
fought the latter a duel with revolvers on
Wednesday. Mr. Johns is . familiarly
known as "Warm SpriD Johnny." It was
a bloodless but highly exciting affair ac
cording to the latter's btory. The combat
ants arianged all the details and met alene
in the graveyard, also m tbe rain. Johnny
who is an old army scoot, and a good shot,
winged bis-man, he says just burning him
on the leg, giving him all the satisfaction he
wanted. They fired four shots. The publie
has no information of the scrimmage. .
The vanity and egotism of the fellow who
presides over the columns of the "organ" is
very amusing. v e are informed that last
evening he boasted that he advocated op po
sition -on the nyer before any paper. Poor,
deluded jackanapes! The Tlmhs-Mocntain-
ekr saw the necessity of boats on the mid
die river owned by the people, when the
fellow was hanging around political conven
tions for some paltry office and preaching
regeneration by water on Tygh ridge. He
only exists in his own inflated imaginina
tion, and outside of this portion of his semi
intellectual faculties his kind are always
small potatoes and few in a bill.

they came to the Weaver grade
near Weston, that the horses aud
nack went over the embankment, which is
about ten feet high, Sutton having bis neck
broken. His bony was found by several
young boys on their way to school and they

Fossil bas a new flour mill, and tbe people
are happy. Tbis is the way the Journal
expresses its delight: "On Monday morning
Smith, Royal & Alderson's new mill was
in operation, and its euphonies bum has

have been faithfully at work for about four
months getting things in readiness, and
when power was applied Monday all parts
worked harmoniously and Fossil's - new
flouring mill ran to the 4 admiration of all
who saw it start. It runs smoothly, .with
but little friction, and the flour it is turning
out is pronounced by those wbo have tested
it equal to the best of flour made by tbe
roller system. Mr. Smith, the senior part
ner and head miller, has had charge of some
of the best mills in the valley, beiug last
foreman of Scott s Marion county mills, and
is recognized to be a leading member of bis

mining tools, including a car for the main
tunnel, and commissioned Mr. Steiwer to
see to their being delivered at the mines.
The prospects for the coal mines being de
veloped are now very favorable. We un
derstand that Mr. Brown, the U. P. expert
who recently examined the mines, reported
favorably to his company, wbich wishes to
bond the mines, but tbis Mr. Miller refuses
to give the.-n permission to do, until tbey

Special correspondence of the Cathlamet
Gazette from Woodlawn, Washington, says:
Messrs. J. W. Downing, Charles Palmstier
and Arthur Laziers have located a mineral
claim on Wolf Creek Bar and are working
it to a good paying business. They olean
np from $12 to $15 per day. There is great
excitement in town about the gold - mines

On October 27th there was a fatal acci
dent near Monument, the following particu
lars of which we learn from the Long Creek
Eatile: This morning William Johnson
started to the mountains after a load of
fence posts and when near Mr. Cupper's
plaoe bis team .beoame frightened and ran
away, killing Johnson instantly, as the at
tached verdict of the coroner's jury will
show: We, the jury, empanelled to ascer
tain the cause of the deatb of the deceased,
find that his name is William Johnson and
about the age of 30 years, and a native of
Norway; that he came to his death by a
runaway team near H. A. Cupper's farm
between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock in -the
forenoon of Ootober 27, 1891. ,
Astoria Town Tali: About5 o clock San-
day evening a sailor on board the American
ship Indiana, lying in the stream, jumbed
overboard with the blood streaming from a
terrible cut across bis nose and face. The
oold waters of the bay were rushing sea
ward like a tsull race, but the fellow struck .
out nobly and was making good progress
but with poor prospects for reaching shore.
The crew on the 'tug Wallowa were the lirst
to see him and a boat was immediately low- '
erod and went to the .nsoue. Cordiner
first mate on the Wallowa, haulod the man
into the boat, but fearful of tbe wrath - of
Judge Deady, the Portland board of trade .
or some one else, he took him bock to the .
ship instead of bringing him ashore and the '
roan clambered over the rail with blood
still streaming down his face. He said he
had been hit with a belaying pin by the
mate. Judging from such oocurronoes tbe
Indiana will be a "hot ship".long before
she gets down into the tropics as a man
must want to get away from her awful .bad
to take such terrible chanoes as the "wound
ed sailor did Sunday night.

Jack Vincent, an experienced, miner, re
turned Tuesday from the newly diseovered

Peter Clemens, it is reported, is the lo
cator of a rich quarts ledge just above the
place where the gold has been found on
Trout oreek. From parties who have vis
ited the new discoveries we learn that the
gold, found in the placer claims ranges in
size from wheat grains to peas, and is rough.
indicating very little washing or abrasion.
Perhaps it has come from quarts near by.
Columbia Joe and his band of redskin
followers have been in the neighboring
mountains nearly all fall, bat our people see
no practical .way to prevent them roaming
our hills and slaughtering game. These
Indians play the game pretty well, as tbey
drive the deer back from tbe valleys and
shoot them away back in the timber where
no white man will molest them. But at the
rate they are going tbey must eall a bait
soon for want of deer to operate on.
.
Grant county bas plenty of water power
and lots of sheep. Why not' try and in

Thousands of dollars are tent out of this

Besides tbe trade of this country a live, en .
erg-tic man would be able to control the
