Family Burned Alive.
C01.TJMBU8, O., Nov. 13. One of the
most disastrous fires in years, from the
fact that an entire family was consumed,
occurred here early this morniDg in a row
of tenement houses on North High street.
The exact origin of the fire remains a
mystery, but on the first alarm flames
were seen shooting from the roof, licking
up everything within reach. The fire
men endeavored to enter the rooms, but
the dense smoke made this impossible
One of the captains di i get partially in
side of the buildings, but was pulled o it
again, nearly suffocated. Two hours
were consumed in gaining control of the
names, and long ere lhat every person
was supposed to nave escaped: Such
however, was Dot the case. It was nearly
4 o'clock this afternoon when a little
girl, living in the neighborhood, with
childish curiosity rummaged through the
rums ai.d tound a naked arm, which led
to a search and the ultimate discovery of
nve Domes ourned to a crisp and beyond
recognition. The entire family of Cbas.
Ketbcard was destroyed while sleeping in
a room 8x14 feet in the second 8 tor 7
They were Chas. KethearJ, aged 30 years;
Elizabeth, bis wife, aged 26; Carrie, aged
7; Myrtle, aged 6, and James, aged 3
years.
UNCONSCIOUS IN THEIB ROOMS.
In fighting the fiarres, two of the pipe
men stood in a window sending a stream
into this room, without discovering
dying occupants, who were unconscious
aod unaoie to utter a cry. roe search
among the ruins, following the victory
over the fire, was not as rigid as it should
have been, and nothing being found, the
entire force was ordered back to its quar
ters. Toward the middle of the after
noon Mrs. Garrison, a friend of the fam
ily, walked from the other end of the
city to inquire after their safety. No one
was able to give her the desired informa
tion. Meeting little Jimmie Kirwm.who
was playing among the ruins, she learned
that a body was in the ashes. The fire
men were summoned aod took up the
second search. What tbey discovered
was horrifying. In that small room were
three beds, a cradle, a stove aod bureau.
Near the door lay the father with the in
ant clasped In bis arms. It was evident
that he bad awakened to the true realiza
tion of the danger and had started out
with the child when overcome with the
beat. The mother, kneeling near the
head of the bed, was half buried beneath
the falling roof. The two girls slept as
they bad retired in their little cot. AH
of the bodies, with the flesh dropping
from the bones, were removed to the cor
oner s. ine nre is supposed to be of In
cendiary origin, as two suspicions char
acters were seen after the damage was
done. A full investigation will follow,
and not a little criticism is passed upon
the action of the fire department in not
making a thorough- examination before
leaving. The room was only ten feet
from the ground, and the entire lamily
might have been rescued.
Charleston to Melze Hawaii Should
Certain Event Occur.
Sranghai, Not. 13 The special corre
spondent of the United Press, who was
sent to China with instructions to inves
tigate the matters which have been caus-
ng so much uneasiness in diplomatic
circles throughout Europe and the United
States, is now in this city, and from a
igb authority has been placed in possess
ion of most important facts. The United
States cruiser Charleston has left these
waters for Honolulu, cspital of the king
dom of Hawaii, and it is ascertained here,
in quarters likely to know the truth or
tala.ty of a report of this nature, that the
commander of the Charleston, George C.
Kemy, has received instructions from the
United States government to seize the
Hawaiian islands, should certain event-
alities occur. The United Press corre
pondent has made careful inquiries in
regard to this matter, and while not able
to state that it is a fact that the Charleston
as started on the important mission
mentioned, be is able to say that, beyond
any doubt, it Is believed in official circles
ere th t the Charleston has been ordered,
should certain events occur, to seize the
Hawaiian islands. In addition, the
United Press correspondent has reason to
believe that thes6 tacts have been cabled
to the British foreign office, and that
there has been in consequence an ex
change of dispatches between the British
admiralty and the admiral in command
of the British fltst in Chinese waters.
K Fighting in Brassll.
New York, Nov. 13. The Herald has
the following cablegram irom Valparaiso,
Chili: "News is received here to the ef-
lect that tbe revolt against Fonseca in
the state of Rio Grande de Snl has been
far completely successful. In tbe
fighting, in which 5000 men were en -
gaged, it is rumored tbe government
troops, under General Isadora Gonzales,
were defeated, and the insurgent cavalry
started on a move toward tbe north. It
is also reported that Uoveroor uastllbo,
of Rio, has decided to join the insurrec
tionist movement. Tbe . revolutionists
claim tbe dictator is so sick he finds it
impossible to continue the campaign with
any degree of activity. These statements
a:e eyidently mado by the enemies of
Fonseca, however, for news comes from
Rio de Janeiro tbat he is displaying great
energy In bis efforts to crush tbe revolt.
He 19 massing troops and preparing war
ships for an tarly attack on the revolu
tionists. He has applied to the govern
ment of Uruguay lor permission to allow
thj passage of troops through tbat coun
try in order to reach tbe state of Ri
Grande de Sul. Uruguay, it is said, has
granted tbe request. The revolt now la -volves
all tbe towns of tbe state with the
ezceptlon of Porto Alegro. Of tbe entire
navy only tbe gunboat Camoen bas taken
up the cause of tbe revolution. Tbe rest
of the navy has remained faithful to Fou
seca. In all probability there will be
crisis before tbe end of next week, tor it
is expected the forces sent by tbe dicta
tor will reach the borders of tbe state by
tbat time.
Governor CsvkUUo Keelgjna.
Rio Janeiro, Nov. 13 Tbe official
announcement is made tbat Governor
Castillo, of Rio Grande do Sul, bas
resigned. His resignation was requested
by Fonseca. It is believed bis sympa
tbies were with the insurgents. There is
complete-, quiet here now. Business
generally has resumed, and affairs are ap
parently in pretty much the same shape
as before tbe declaration of tbe dictator
ship by President Fonseca.
A. Collision at Sea.
New York, Nov. 13 A cable was re
ceived here late yesterday tbat tbe steam
er Ciitdad Condal, of tbe Spanish transat
lantic line, bad come in to collision with a
Mexican coasting steamer. Tbe coaster
saBk with all on board and tbe Ciudad
Condal put into Progress for repairs. Tbe
scents uf the steamer in this city, J. M.
Cimballis & Co . said tbey knew nothing
of tbe collision until told about it by a
reporter. Tbey were very much surprised
to hear of tbe disaster. Consul-General
of Spain Topete received a cablegram
from Havana in which tbe above facts
were corroborated. Ramon V. Williams,
the Mexican vice-consul, said such an ac
cident bad happened. After consulting
several lists and books be concluded tbat
the coaster reported sunk was one oi these
three vessels: Tabasco, Pbosnix, or the
Conception, Tbe reports of tbe accident
spread In Spanish-American business cir
cies, and many persons who haye friends
or relatives on board the vessel, were
busy telegraphing tor information. The
general belief is tbat tbe night was foggy,
l bo'iudad is ot .English build, and car
ries a crew of seventy men.
Cat-Throat Chilians.
Washington, Nov. 10. A disposition
bas recently been exhibited by the United
States to sneer at Chili, but the time may
come when Uocle Sam will be obliged
to contend with tbat republic for tbe
supremacy of the new world. It is at
present the most aggressive and powerful
of tbe American nations, next to this
country, and it is steadily pushing its
schemes for political aggrandizement.
Within the last few years it bas extended
its territory almost tbe length of tbe
nctber continent. It bas gobbled tbe sea
co&st ot Bolivia, and tbe nitrate fields of
Peru on tbe north, and by diplomatic su
asion it bas obtained possession of a strip
stretching soutbwata to Cape Horn. In
cidentally to tbe partition of Patagonia,
it bas secured control of tbe Straits of
Magellan and of steam navigation in the
southern facihc.
Should there be a conflict between the
United States and Chili it would be fierce
while it lasted. Tbe Chilians are the
most ferocious soldiers in tbe world
Those who make up tbe rank and file of
their armies are balf-breeds a mixed
race, hlf Spanish and half native. The
Araucanians are the only aoonginal tribes
which tbe conquerers from Spain have
never been able to subjugate. In western
Patagonia tbey remain to this dav un
subdued a race of fierce giants, known
by hearsay to every schoolboy, preserving
its independence against Caucasian in
vasion. It is only by a mingling of
blood that tbey bave been tamed. From
this mingling bas been produced tbe
most intelligently say age people probab
ly, tbat ever lived on this earth. In war
tbey are bloodthirsty beyond description.
Tbey outvandal tbe vandals, destroying
everything tbey can in mere wantonness
and murdering every prisoner.
The New Orleans Affair.
Rome, Not. 13 An investigation of
the story reported heie in official circles
to tbe effect that tbe United States gov
ernment has admitted tbe responsibility
for the lynching by the mob at New Or
leans of the Italians who were there im
prisoned on 8 charge of being implicated
in tbe murder of Chief of Police Hennes
sy, of that place, shows it to be foun
dered on fact. Such a report is current,
and it' is added tbat the United States, in
admitting tbe responsibility for tbe
lynching referred to, bss promised to pay
indemnity to too family of each of tbe
victims of tbe affair. In tbe" Amenoan
colony here tbe report is discredited, and
at tbe United States legation no satisfac
tory information on tbe subject could be
obtained.
Crashed by Falling; frails.
Cleveland, O., Nov 15 One of tbe
most threatening bres Cleveland bas bad,
broke out at 8 o'clock this evening, and
before extinguished at midnight, it bad
destroyed $200,000 worth of property and
resulted in tbe death of one fireman and
the serious injury of two others. The
fire started in tbe job printing establish
ment of Short & Forman, froDtug on
Superior street, and extending through
to Frankfort street. The building is in
the heart of tbe down-town business and
banking center, and is surrounded by
high brick blocks. Tbe fire burned
fiercely, spread rapidly to four buihdiogs
adjoining, and all were soon enveloped in
flames. The Johnson bouse, a five-story
brick building, fronting on Superior
street, was next in tbe patb of tbe fire,
and the flames played over and around
its roof. Tbe guests made a hasty exit,
and it seemed almost certain tbe hotel
would be destroyed, together with tbe
Weddel bouse, which adjoins it on tbe
east. A general call for steamers was
made and ten engines were soon at work.
One of tbe first steamers to arrive was
No 1, and Captain John Grady and Fire
man Michael Hawley and Charles Ward
of tbe same company carried a line into
the burning ouilding. An instant later
one of the floors fell, crusbing Captain
Grady to death and seriously injuring
Hawley and Ward. Grady's body was
recovered and tbe two other injured men
were sent to the hospital, where tbey are
reported to be in a critical condition.
After hours of bard work the firemen
gained mastery of tbe fire, saved two ho
tels and confined the flames to tbe Frank
fort street buildings- Tbe total loss will
aggregate $225,000. The insurance is
about 1175,000.
Conflict Is Imminent.
Buenos Atbes, Nov. 14 Telegrams
from Pasode Los Libres confirm the re
volt of Rio Grande and add to the serious
ness of affairs. It is reported that the
Sixth regiment joined tbe insurgents at
Uruguay Ana. a town in tbe southwestern
part of Rio Grande. Its commander.
Colonel Aloado, baa also gone over.
Besides Uruguay Ana, tbe tewns of Ped-
itro Alegrito, Rosario and Itaqual are re
ported to bave declared in fayor of the
insurgents- The forces ol tbe new junta
are said to number 40,000, all well armed
aud enthusiastic. Tbe leaders are re
ported to be planning an immediate at
tack on Porto Alegre. The garrison at
Casapara is reported to bave joined the
rebels. Tbe troops of tbe junta at Santa
Aba and Liyoamonto are said to be pre
paring to march upon Rio Janeiro, and a
conflict seems imminent. The govern
ment fleet at Stagnl, composed to two
monitors and three gunboats, have been
deliveted np - to tbe junta. This bas
caused great rejoicing. Mail advices via
Coats say tbe rebels surrounded tbe ar
senal at Ataqui yesterday. Tbe arsenal
was defended by 300 government troops.
Tbe rebels demanded its surrender. Tbe
commander refused. An attack was ex
peeled to day. The inhabitants, greatly
alarmed, are fleeing from tbe town.
From BruU's Foreign minister.
Washigntoh, Nov. 14 Senor Men
doea, the Brazilian minister, bas received
the following telegram from Senor Cher
mont, minister ol foreign aflairs:
I am in receipt of your telegram of
yesterday. Tbe news of .tbe cession of
Rio Grande do Sul, or any ether state, is
untrue. We are in perfect peace. A
telegram from tbe capitol of Rio Grande
do Sul, published in to-day's Dioro Official
savs the Board of Commerce Association,
renresentatives of the trade and tbe
neoDle. went to tbe governor's bouse and
asked Governor Castillbo in view of tbe
clrcumstancss of the state, due to causes
known to him, to resign office in order to
avoid a mortal conflict Governor Castill
bo resigned and a provisional junta was
organized as follows: vt. Assess, vasai
Riesero and General Osorio. Tranquillity
is reestablished and public opinion satis
fied.
Advices From Chill.
Santiago, Nov. 15. A council of state
for the new administration is now com
plele. Eleven members bave been chosen
five by President Montt, three by tbe
senate and three by tbe bouse of deputies,
Tbe council consists of tbe ministry, an
ex-officer, a member of the court of
justice, an ecclesiastical dignitary, a gen
eral or an admiral, a chief ot tbe adminis
tration of finance and one of tbe treasur
er s diplomatic agents. Tbe council is
supposed to advise the president and put
a check on him.. Tbe president conducts
the higher legal aod judical functionaries,
but tbs nomination of these fellows as
well as tbe ecclesiastical dignitaries must
proceea irom tbe council. Tbe council
consists of two conservatives and nine
liberals. It was because tbe conser
vatives bsd no representation in tbe
council that Ministers Rarazebal and
Walker Martines resigned tbe other dav.
now tnai two ot their party are chosen,
toe ministers will probably consent to
remain in tbe cabineit
Clarza's Revolution in Hexlco.
8an Antonio. Tex., Nov. 15. There
is no longer any doubt that Catrino Garza
has opened a revolutionary ball in Mexico.
A message received heie says Garza at
tacked Guerroro yesterday evening, and
was only driven off after a stubborn re
sistance on tbe part of the Mexican gar
rison. One Mexican soldier was killed,
aod another wounded. The loss on
Garza's side is not known. It is evident
tbe Insurgents bave been quietly increas
ing their forces, aud bave now begun an
active campaign. A dispatch irom Rio
Grande city says the revolutionists arc
well armed, and that they bave many
sympathizers among the Mexicans on
this side of the border.
. Conflicting; Reports.
London, Nov. 16. The news from
Brazil continues of tbe most conflicting
character. Tbe official dispatches Irom
Rio de Janeiro asserts, with unequivocal
positiveness, that tbe country is absolutly
tranquil, while telegrams from Buenos
Ayres and Santiago report Brazil torn
with dissension and secession. The
actual facts will probably not be known
until mail advices are received. An
official censorship prevents dispatches.
not approved by the government, reach
ing Europe direct. It is not known
bow such dispatches reach Buenoa
Ayres and Chili. Tbe latest official
advices from Brazil state tbe trouble in
Rio Graude do Sul is purely lrcal and
that the goveinment of tbat state is now
in the hands of a provisional junta. It
is inferred from this tbat tbe authorities
at Rio regard tbe juata in sympathy with

received the following by cable from tbe
Brazilian minister of foreign relations.
I affirm tbat complete tranquility
reigns in all states except Rio Grande,
where conflicts, provoked by questions
pertaining to local politics, occurred.
With these in virtue of the constitution,
the Federal government could not inter

The idea is condemned by all Brazilians.
amrm tbat no state thinks of seceding;

tbeir states. Those who remain here go
about the city at liberty. Thus far the

Tbe outbreak was directed mainly against
tbe authorities, though anti-foreign cries
were beard. The officials were powerless
and European residents are apprehensive
a spread ot the revolt. Tbe British
consul here, in an interview, said -be

A Lost Child. "
Grant's Pass Courier.
Editor: I am trying to find my
father. I am told tbat his name is James
Bailey. I baye no recollection of
him, nor do I remember that I ever
looked on the face of a relative. My
mother died fifteen years ago in Boon
county, Iowa, when I was only a year
old. Shortly after 'mother's death I was
adopted by a neighbor named Morgrn.
Wben I was eight years old we moved
to Nebraska, and at this time father
seems to have lost track of me. I un
derstand that he endeavored to find me,
but was basely led by an interested
party, to believe tbat I bad died. I bave
only recently learned tbat tbe Morgans
were not my parents. I am passing my
life among strangers. Tbey are nothing
to me; I am nothing to them. Tbe
thought makes me homesick and lonely
and sad. I believe my own dear father
is living, somewhere in tils wide, wide
world, and ff be Is, I mean to find him.
You can assist me if you will ; but I can
offer you no reward, at present, except
my gratitude and my blessing. If you
are unable to give me any information
regarding my father, please help me to
publish, aud circulate this notice and
oblige. Sincerely yours,

dictments to-day. He has not been sen
tenced.
There are nine occupants in the county
jaif, including DahL who will be sent to
the insane asylum.
Snow fell yesterday on the upper portion
of Mill creek, bat it did not remain on tbe
ground but a few hours.
The Columbia river is still rising. Rain
and snow in tbe mountains have caused
high water in all streams.
Ine case ol Allen vs. Sargent is still on
trial. For the plaintiff is A. 8. Bennett,
and Sfor tbe defendant Huntington and
ilson.
There were 350 sacks of wheat received
yesterday at Moody's warehouse. Tbe
prices were from b7 to 82 cents. About
3000 sacks have been received this week.'
The city was very quiet last nisht, and
tbe lail was without a single occupant. In
consequence this morning the recorder had
leisure time, and was not at all busy.
Mr. A. Clark, wbo bas just returned
from the Cascade mountains aboye the forks
ot Hood River, says the snow is three or
tour teet deep, and there are sign of bear,
deer and elk.
Tbe moonlight excursionists returned
about midnight. There was quite a
number of people on tbe boat, and al
though the night was cool considerable
enjoyment was had by the people, old
and young.
It is now unlawful to kill deer, the close
season having commenced .November 1st.
The special law protecting Chiueae pheas
ants went out of effect the same date, but
the birds are now protected as grouse and
other pheasants.
Major Inealls will address the citizens ef
The Dalles at the court bouse this evening
on tbe importance of a proper representa
tion at the world's fair at Chicago of Ore
gon's resources, and a full attendance of our
business men should be present.
The Ochoco Seview says: The stock in
spector is on the lookout for deceased bands
of sheep, and will light down on tbe owners
of scabby sheep like a hawk on a sparrow.
Thore whose sheep are not sound had better
begin doctoring them in order to avoid
trouble.
Parties were in Hood River during the
week looking for the lost cabin in the
mountains near that town, where it has been
reported there is a large amount of buried
treasure and a well-riefiued quartz ledge.
This cabin has been hunted for twelve or
fourteen years and has ueyor been found.
Gazette: The board of water commission-
ars hired men this week to sink wells along
the Grande Ronde river, ns recently pro
vided for by ordinance. The sum of $100
will be ekpended in experimental wells, the
principal object of which is to ascertain the
probable amouit of water that 'can be ob

There are two wood wolyes ranging near
the city, and have been feasting on chick
ens, etc. These are reported to haye es
caped from Forepauph's circus at the time
it camped here the Sunday after the big
fire of Sept. 21. They have been seen sev
eral times, and are described as lare and
ferocious looking beasts. A company is
bemx organized in this city to huut these
brutes.
During these days it is customary for old
miners to congregate around a stove and
talk of rich- discoveries. According to
tbeir opinions the Cascade mountains are
rich in all kinds of minerals, and it will be
only a few years until a second Cesar
d'AIene will be struck close at home. It is
entertaining to sit and listen to the stories
of old prospectors, and if half told were
true, there are millions yet to bo found in
the canyons aud gulches of the mountaius.
A Victorian Ciiinnman recently married
"a Melican woman. " Bat he soon wanted

she has "too muchee talkea with neighbois,
too muchee paint face and cyenrows. too
muchee drink Yulepean brandy, too muchee
fight, too muchee snore, too muchee boss,
too mnchee d learn, too muchee say 'killnin
boRband,' and too muchee no good." But
the court held the Chinaman. to his con
tract, possibly with the idea of making a
notable example to others. .
The Oregon Immigration Board's car,
"Oregon on Wheels," appears to have made
a decided hit iu the Northwestern states.
Last week it was on exhibition in St. Paul,
Minneapolis and other Minnesota cities,
and the inhabitants of those towns are en
thusiastic about it. Secretary Hasten has
received scores of letters from people living
in cities where the car was exhibited, com
plimenting the board on the car and its ex
hibits, and asking for further information
about the resources of Oregon.
Albany Democrat: Many remember of a
bridal couple being on board the overland
train when it was wrecked at Lake Labiah
a year ago. Tbe following dispatch from
Johnstown, Pa., speaks of them: "Dr. D.
W. J. Hammond and wife have entered
suit sgainst the Southern Pacific railroad
asking that $65,000 damages for injuries
received in the disaster on that line No
vember 12, 1890. Tbe couple were caught
in the wreck while on their wedding trip
and have neyer fully recovered from their

La Grande Gazette: Two men, named
Hamilton and Anderson, were arrested in
the mountains below Elgin this week.
Tbey were suspected of being the perpetra
tors of the Summerville bank robbery, and
were brought before Justice Collins, of
Summerville, for examination. There was
not sufficient evidence to warrant their
further detention and they were released.
From outside rumors it appears that the
two men had gone oat in the mountains for
-a banting trip. Their disappearance jat
at that time, and the manner in which tbey
lett, created the suspicion that tbey bad
something to do with the robbery, hence
they were overtaken and arrested. The
suspicious against them, however, appear to
bave had no foundation.
A most horrifying accident occurred at
Portsmouth, last Monday, which resulted in
tbe death of Mr. C. M. Downs, a well
known resident of St. Johns, in this state.

two other men, near the month of thelarge

pec ting that something bad befallen Mr.
Downs, a search was made. Findiug that

procured and tbe body was found lying on
the bottom of the well, which is 120 feet
deep. Ropes were lowered, and the lifeless,
terribly-mangiea torm was raiseu to tne sur
face. Death was eyidently instantaneous,
as the deceased uttered no word of pain or

This is the way an exchange breaks
forth into fall poetry. "The Angel of
