Pittsburg, Pa., July 23. A desperate
and almost successful attepmt was made
this afternoon to assassinate Herjry Clay
Frick, chairman of the Carnegie "fSteel
Company. Limited. Hia assailant was
Alexander Berkman, a Russian Jew, who
came here from New York with tbe evi
dent intention of killing Frick. It was
a few minutes before 3 o'clock tbis after
noon when the young man entered tbe
elevator iu the Chronicle building, and
asked to be let off at Fritk's office. The
young man has been a frequent visitor
tbe past few days and the elevator boy
ti'ougtit nothing of the request. Two
minutes later the occupxnts of the build
mg and passers-by on i ilth avenue were
staitled by three pistol shotp, fired in
tapid succession. Tbe man had tried to
&ssasaina:e the great steeluiaster, but trie
latter, notwithstanding two bullet wounds
and four ugly gashes from a datrger, is
Mill alive and will probablv recover.
Before the man came in Mr. LeUhnian,
tbe business partner of Frick. bad entered
tbe office and was (folding a private con
ference. Tbe office boy noticed a man
come in burriedlv from the outside and
pass through the railing, but before be
could stop htm the stranger had entered
tbe private office. He sprang to within
five iGet of Frick, and quickly drawing a
revolver pulled, the trigger. The first
cartridge did not explode, hut the second
sect entered the back ot r rick s neck
danced down and passed out below tbe
arm pit. Frick jumped to a window
openirj" on f iltb avenue and - tried to
open it but couldn't. Berkmau rushed
up to him again and bred, the ball enter
ing tbe left side of bis ne.tk and passing
around lodged under tbe right ear.
a struggle with the assassin.
At this moment, Mr. Leisb man threw
himself on tbe ssasin and struggled to
get tbe revolver. He clutched tbe barrel
and turned tbe muzzle up as tbe man
pulled the trigger again, the ball entering
tbe ceiling. Tbe aesperato man tben
drew a dagger and attempted to stab
Leisbman. FricK saw the gleam of steel,
and although staggered by the eoock of
the wounds and bleeding prolusely.
umped between the men and seized
Berkman's arm. ' The latter freed bim
self from LeUbman's grasp and plunged
tbe dagger into Fnrk's right side just
above the hip, making an ugly, wound
tbree inches long. He made another
luoge. and this time tbe knife struck
higher up. but tbe point struck a rib and
glanced off without inflicting much in
jury. Twice again was the knite tbms;
at Frick, but be was merely scratched.
Bv tbis time tbe office clerks and Deputv
Sheriff. May entered tbe loom. May had
drawn bis revolver and was about to
Dcot iseruman in tne oacK, wnen f ries
cried out, "Don't kill bim, we've got bim
all right, leave bim to the law.'' Tbe
man broke away and tried to escape, but
be was secured and taken to tbe station.
In fivo minutes balf a dozen surgeons
were on band, and Frick's wounds were
attended to. , He was calm, bad perfect
command of bis faculties and apparently
was less excited tban any other person in
the room. Fiom time to time be made
suggestions, and balf an bonr after tbe
shootintr be dictated a message to An -drew
Carnegie about tbe assault.
a thought for his family.
' At his request all communicatioo with
bis resirleaco was shut off, and bis
brother-in-law 'was sent to lotorm his
wife and to reassure ber. She gave birth
to a child 10 days ago, and is still con
fined to ber room. Though greatly dis
tressed by the news, she bore herself
bravely. ' Alter some difficulty tbn ballet
lodged iu bis neck was removed, and
Frick was soon resting easier. Tbe news
created intense excitement, and telegrams
poured in on Frick from persons bigb
and low, from various parts of tbe coun
try. At no time did be express a fear as
to bis condition, and alter tbe removal of
tbe bullet, be dictated a letter to bis
stenographer, and received reports about
the condition of affairs at Homestead.
He refused all medicine until 5 o'clock,
when be was given a sedative, and bus
been sleeping soundly. He was removed
to bis borne soon 'alter 7 o'clock. Dr.
Litchfield is confident Frick will recover
altboqgh. be is , seriously injured. At
midnight be was resting easy. News of
the attempted assassination spread
fcapidly. In five minutes after the shoot
ing, Fiftb avenue, from Market to. Woods
streets, was packed with people, and tbe
greatest indignation was expressed at tbe
cowardly deed.
Conflagration in Walla Walla.
Walla Walla, Wash., July 23 Fire
started at 9 :30 tbis evening in a frame
bu.ldingon Main street, occupied by tbe
French rastaurant. .Tbe department re
sponded promptly, but the engines failed
to raise steam and it was fully 10 minutes
before water was secured. Tbe flames
shot higb in the air, and the fire soon
communicated to the third story of tbe
Hotel Stine. The firemen were powerless
to do effective work. Tbe flames spread
throughout tbe hotel, and in a short time
tbe entire building was a mass of flames.
Thehotel was occupied by a large num
ber ot guests, but all escaped without in
jury. " A chambermaid, suffocated by
smoke, was carried out and soon revived.
Charles Parris, proprietor of tbe French
restaurant, has hands and face badly
burned. Mr?. Adler, who was conducting
a knitting factory a few doors below tbe.
restaurant, became hysterical, and is now
in a precarious condition. Tbe fire is
stiil burning at 12 o'clock,- but tbe fire
men lave it under control, Tbe Hotel
Stine is a three-story brick, owned by
Fred Stine and conducted by J. C. Lewis.
Stine places bis loss at $30,000; insurance,
$10,000. J. C. Lewis' loss on furniture,
liquors, etc., $7000; insurance, $3000;
Charles Parria, loss on restaurant and fix
tures, $700; insnrancr, $300; Marshal
Martin loses $1000 on the frame building;
insurance unknown. Tbe people in the
hotel could not save much and tbe loss of
clothing will be about $600 more. The
fire started in a range in the restaurant
and soon communicated to tbe walls,
which, covered with grease, burned like
paper. Hard work ot tbe firemen pre
vented tbe fire from crossing tbe street.
Fell Tbroufh st Ksttea Bridge.
Tillamook, Or., July 23. A terrible
accident happened to tbe mail stage be
tween here and North Yamhill yesterday
evening, and . three persons are horribly
crushed and probably fatally injured.
Tbe bridge across tbe North Trask at
Thornton's place broke down, as the
four-borse mail stage was coming this
way, precipitating the whole outfit a dis
tajce ot 30 feet into tbe river below.
C. B. Hadley, a saloon" keeper of this
place, is badly crushed, an arm and two
ribs broken, and be will probably die.
Key. Edmunds, of Iowa, wbo was coming
here to yisit his sons, is braised badly,
but will recover. The stage driver,
Willshur Maddox, of North Ysmhill, has
hia tace smashed beyond recognition and
is otherwise injured. All have broken
bones and internal bruises, but as. yet it
is impossible to tell bow' serious. One
borse was killed in the wreck and tbe
others injured.
Tbe wafcon and bridge are wrecked.
The mail was fished out of ' tbe river and
brought' to tbis city, a distance of 15
miles, by another conveyance. Tbe in
iured are being cared for at William
Thornton's bouse, and luckily two physi
ciaos were on tbe road near by and are
now in attendance. Tbe affair has caused
great excitement and friends and reta-
tives of the injured are making baste to
the fceoe. Tbe bridge, which is on tbe
Tiliamook and North Yamhill toll road
bus long been considered unsafe. Sue
accidents seem to be increasing here, -an
it has been only two weeks since 6. W,
Wallace's wagon went over tbe Nestucca
grade, killing Miss Lizzie Hacker and
severely injuring several others.
The Fire Record.
Troutdalk. Or.. Julv 24. This town
was visited by another large conflagration
to-night. About 11:30 o'clock a fire
broke out in an upper story of the Cen
tral hotel, owned by Messrs. Olds & Soji
of this city, and in a short while tbe
whole structure was a mass of flames,
The fire spread rapidly to Ibe adjoining
building, a small dwelling owned by Mr,
Olds, the senior member ot tbe firm
Here tbe course of destruction was stayed
though at one time there seemed to be no
hope of saving the general merchandise
store of Douglas & Co. Had this gone,
the greater part of the business portion of
ibe town was doomed. The lire origina
ted from the overturning of a kerosene
lamp. The loss is about $4000, partly
insured. Tbe young wife of Ed Olds, tbe
junior partner of tbe firm,' is reported to
be in a critical condition, she being the
mother of a child only two days old, and
having been rescued with some difficulty
from tbe burning buildings. General
Manager Baxter, of the Union Pacific,
responded to the request of the citizens
to have a train and 'fire engine in readt
ness in case of tbe fire spreading, with
his usual generosity, and be had ail, in
readiness to send assistance, if called up
on. At 13:30 A. M. tbe nre is well un
der control.

From The Ccenr d'Alenes. .
. WabiJner, July 24. Botb tbe regular
troops aud militia bere are anxiously
awaiting the result of Governor Willey's
.conference with tbe war department re
garding the retention of tbe troops . at
some point in this region, tbe result of
which will be tbe withdrawl ot one of the
two forces. Company F, I. N. G., has
been ordered to proceed from here ' to
Wallace to-morrow morning to escort
prisoners to Boise. Twenty five will be
taken in tbe first batch. Lieutenant Mc
Quiston has arrested three men wbo were
biding in a dugout near tbe Mission. One
of tbem is supposed to have been with
the party wbo fired' on tbe non-union men
at the Mission. , A prisoner named Olsen,
confined in the pen here, was sent to tbe
hospital at Wallace to-day. At tbe diff
erent camps of regulars tbe enforced in
activity is growing monotonous, and
officers and men are desirous of moving
toward tbeir proper stations. A large
number of prisoners at Wardner and
Wallace are being released on parole.

made a bad job of It. I am willing to
stand tbe consequences." Bergbam de

Wilson fit Oregon City.
Oregon City, July 25. Charles Wil
son, tbe murderer of Mamie Walsh, was
placed in the Clackamas count; jail this
morning, having been brought here on
the overland train from Salem. Tbe close
confinement, together with the brooding
over bis crime, has told terribly . upon
bim. He is thought by many to be in
sane, and if be is not, be is certainly
doing a very clever piece of acting. His
arrival created no excitement, and there
have been but few visitors at the jail.
Wilson will undoubtedly remain unmo
lested in Clackamas county jail until tbe
fall term of court.
