fanie in a Synusogne.
New York, Sept. 23. A lalse alarm
of tire caused a panic in tbe Jewish sjna
croaue crowded with worshipers this
morning. Id tbe rush for tbe stairway
four people were crushed and trampled
to death, and a dozen seriously injured.
The firemen succeeded in extricating the
people from the blocked stairway.
Tbe panic occurred in a tenement
building occupied by three synagogues,
one on each floor. In tbe synagogue on
ihe top floor a candle accidentally ignited
a bit of drapery Immediately an ex
cited individual yelled fire, and then tbe
rush for tbe exit came. At tbe front
partition door tbete was a jam, then a
crash and part of the board wall gave
way. Ihe mass uoured, teil and roiled
down the steep stairwav. Three times
as many persons were attending the syn
agogucs on the lower floors, more than
1000 in all. They beard tbe rush and
craeb above and beard tbe cries of fire,
and immediately likewise made a rush
for tbe street. At the second floor the
two blind and madd-joed human aval
unches met, and a furious struggle ensued.
Men and women fought, dumb, but with
the madness of despair, an J tbe weakest
went dowD. Tbe deadlock was broken
again and again, only to be renewed with
tbe same scenes of terror. Slowly the
solid mass, filling the stairway from wall
to ceiling, slid down to tbe ground floor;
down there it brought up'agaiost a rush
from tbe rear room synagogue, and all
came to a dead stop. Tbe police patrol
arrived at this moment, and tbe officers,
fighting their way through the crowd,
finally broke tbe jam. Four women lay
di-ad and nine are seriously injured. The
injured were promptly sent to a hospital.
Ot tbe tonr dead taken to the station
house, three were identified. Tbey are:
Freda Becker, 44 years, Russian: Naomi
Rosenthal, 30 years, married; Tuebec
Boynim, aged 50. -
CruHhed in an Elevator.
Spokane, Wash., Sept. 23 Tbo 13
year old son of E. Bertrand, a well-known
grocer of this city, died early this morn
ing of injuries received in the Auditorium
elevator Wednesday evening. At tbe
time of tbe accident tbe injuries were not
thought to be serious, but at noon yester
day the boy began vomiting and bleeding
internally, aud rapidly grew worse, until
he died. Charles Bise, tbe elevator boy
on duty when tbe accident happened,
tells a straight-forward story about tbe
occurrence, and no one is disposed to
bls.ne him for the misfortune. He says
young tier t rand followed bis father's
delivery man np to the fourth floor of
be building, where be went to deliver
some gioceries. After tbey got on at tbe
fourth floor be attempted to run tbe ele
vator up to tbe fifth floor. Just as he
pulled tbe lever to start, young Bertrand,
who was standing on tbe outside holding
to the elevator-cage, started to get in
and knocked against tbe door, throwing
it c pen. As soon as Bise saw that the
boy was in danger, be reversed, tbe
engine, and but for the fact tbat tbe
levator runs four or five feet after tbe
lever is reversed, be would have avoided
tbe accident; but as it was, the boy's
body was caught between the elevator
floor and tbe top part of the cage door,
inflicting internal injuries which caused
bis death.
A Salem JHystery.
Salem, Or,, Sept. 23. Salem bas
anotbes mystery, and the authorities are
unable to tell whether it is murder, sui
cide or accidental drowning. This morn
ing the dead body of Otto S. Cowie was
found in Mill Creek, la two feet of water.
was thought an electric car knocked
him off tbe bridge, but tbe body shows
no mirks of violence. Tbe position of.
tbe body in tbe water, and the tracks on
tbe bank near where it was found excite
suspicion of foul play. Cowie bad two
accident policies of $2000 eacb, which
expire in a day or so. These were paya
ble to J. U. Case, of Salem. Tbe coroners
jury found tbat Cowie came to his death
between the hours ot o last night and 4
this morning, from some cause to tbe
jury unknown.

cal Association, in session here, bas

tions on tbe best means of dealing with
cholera and the management of quaran
tines, in the . event ot Canada being in
vaded by tbe disease. ' A clause recom
mending tbe cremation of the bodies of
those dying at such stations as Grosse

tbat no government would adopt it, but
it was agreed tbat it was tbe only recom
mendation tbat a scientific body of men
could formulate. -

Daylight Bobbery of a Roslyn Bank.
Ellensburgh, Wash., Sept. 24 Word
was received here from Roslyn to day
tbat the bank of Abrams, Snipes & Com
pany bad been robbed. Five masked
men rode up to the door at 2 o'clock and
when tbey lelt tbey carried with them a
sack of money taid to be $10,000. To
day was pay-day at tbe Roslyo mmes aud
140.000 arrived from lacotnathis morn
ing. The robbers supposed tbe money
was placed in tbe bank, though it was
taken to tbe company s oluce. Tbe7 ex
ecuted tbeir plan in a manner wbicb
would have done credit to the James boys.
Cashier Abernetby was writing when
tbe firs', robber entered, and turned to
wait on the supposed customer, but found
himstlt lacing a revolver. Dr. .Lyons,
who bad entered just alter tbe first high
wayman, turned to go out," but instead
dashed against a pair of revolvers in tbe
bands o) a second robber. Tbe third
confederate entered, picked up Cashier
Abernethy'a revolver and knocked blm
down with it. He rose, his bead stream
ing with blood, and was told to keep
quiet if he wanted to live. Tbe tbird
man then walked to the safe which was
open, took out tbe coin and bills, shoved
the money in a canvas bag and threw it
over bis shoulder. Tbe three then went
out, joining two more men who had been
stationed so as to guard all tbe ap
proaches.
s. a. Frazier, tbe assistant cashier, wbo
was outside, grabbed a shotgun and made
for the bank, when one of the robbers
stopped his progress by placing a bullet in
his hip. A colored man named Conoley
was shot in tbe leg and several others bad
narrow escapes. One of the robbers held
tbe reins of five splendid horses, acd as
soon as tbe vault was looted, all mounted.
Tben, after firing up and down the street.
tbey put spurs to their horses and dashed
away, disappearing on tbe trail .over the
mountains north ot Koslyn.
Tbe shenfl was notified and a large
posse started in pursuit. It is believed
tbe robbers cannot escape, as the peculiar
topography of the'eountry will aid the
officers. The manager of Abrams, Snipes
& Co. arrived at Roslyn tbis evening and
immediately offered a reward of $1000
for tbe apprehension of the robbers. Tbis
is supplemented By an offer of the same
amount made by Cashier Abernetby.
Tbe robbers were dressed as cowboys and
showed themselves to be expert horse
men ani gunners. President Snipes, of
the bank, was here to day and left for
Roslyn on the night train, accompanied
by Detective M. C Sullivan.. '

the streets ot this city since Sunday last,

ing strychnine. Ha left a letter saying

Eugene. Martin formerly lived at
Wbeatland, Cal., where be was expelled
from tbe Christian cburcb for undue
intimacy with a woman of the congrega
tion. He seemed to be demented, and
devoted a large part of bis preaching on
tbe streets to berating all Christian de
nominations. He tried to raise a sum of
money yesterday by subscription, but se
cured only a few cents, which be said
discouraged bim, and be threatened last
night to kill himself. Tbis morning be

throes of death, tbe result of taking 30
grains of strychnine. Prompt medical
aid failed to cave bis life. He bad no
family here, but claimed to have a wife
and two children in Earope. He was
aged about 25.
- Peli by the W ay.
New York, Sept. 24. There was a

people to collect around the latest sup
posed victim, who lay on the sidewalk
nearly two hours before the "Yellow'

floating hospital. He is Samuel Ma-
cbinsky, 21 years old, a clerk employed
at 596 Broadway, and residing at 198
East Houston street. He was stricken

TEixEGEAPHIO . KEWS.
A Tale of Death.
Boise City, Idaho, Sept. 25. Writing
from Kootenai lake in British Columbia,
to his father near Boise, George Martin
relates a ghastly tale of death, tbe victims
of the tragedy being William Corlett, of
Galveston, and Henry Gesford, formerly
ot bt. Paul. Tbe unfortunate men, to
getber with Martin and three others, bad
been for several months engaged in pros
pecting, and with considerable success.
They bad discovered nine rich lodes, and
a few days before their terrible death, it
had been arranged tbat Gesford and Cor
lett should go east and attempt to interest
wealthy lriends in tbeir prospects. Sept
ember 10 tbe entire party of gold seekers
went out for a big bunt. About 10 miles
from camp, as Martin, Gestord and Cor
lett were walking through a narrow de
file, a lares mountain lion sprang from
tbe top of an overhanging rock, alighted
npon Gestord and bore him to the earth.
Corlett bit the savage animal a blow
with the butt of his riffe, whereat it left
Gesford and attacked Corlett. Beiore the
latter could fire, tbe lion terribly crushed
his right arm and ' bis left hip, after
which it disappeared in the undergrowth.
When Martin, wbo was some distauce
behind his fellows, came up, be found
both Gesford and Corlett in an insensible
condition. Tbe latter was desperately
injured, but Gestord soon regained con
sciousness.
THE MARCH TO CAMP.
Making a litter of green boughs, upon
wbicb to carry tbe mangled Corlett,
start was made for camp. Just before
sunset, the wounded man recovered from
bis long swoon and begged piteonsly
that bis condclora would stop for a time,
as tbe motion ot their rapid progress
caused bim great agonv. Martin, how
ever, was afraid tbat Corlett would die
unless his terrible wounds were attended
to, so be and Gesford continued on their
way. As Boon as night tell, tbey were
literally besieged with ravenous animals,
which attracted by the odor of blood, had
silently followed, the three men for miles.
Tbo only thing to be done was to stop
and lio-hr . fir- .n r,rrlr lha thpir mio-hf
not be assailed by tbe hungry prowlers
whose snapping eyes could be seen in tbe
darkness. Building a circle of fire
" . j e
around tbeir wounded comrade, Martin
and Gestord prepared to repulse any at
tack by their four-footed foes. Presently,
however, something seemed to stampede
tbe animals, for they ran pell mell op
tbe canyon with affrighted cries. After
waiting about two hours, Martin set out
for camp to bring aid to Corlett.
DEVOURED BY WILD ANIMALS.
When be and tbe other members of tbe
party returned at daylight, tbey were
horror-stricken at what tbey saw. Cor
lett, with the scorcbed barrel of a rifle iu
bis bands, was lying across tbe dying fire,
wbicb bad literally cooked bim to death,
A search for Gesford resulted In finding
bis body in three parts at a little stream
about 100 feet from where Coriett's
corpse was lying. Tbe wild animal bad
killed tbe poor fellow and nearly de
voured his body. It is thought that
Gesford went to the spring for water for
tbe feverish and dying Corlett, and tbat

Constantly through the day wheat wagon
pass through the streets to the warehouses.
To thoac nuacquaiuted with tbe country it
may be a mattei of surprise where all this
oereal wealth comes from; but when it is
known that a larger area of oountry is trib
utary to Tbe Dslie thau any point iu East
ern Oregon tbe faot of this city being the
great wool and wheat center of the Inland
Empire is no astouishment.
Eagle Point has a woman who is a rust

killed five skunks, ten squirrels, three rats,
one rabbit and one chicken, all caught in
one trap aud she is nearly seventy year of

Frank Caabore, who wan taken care of by
the city marshal aud sheriff while in a de
meDted condition, ha been telling tbe story
in Portland that he was robbed at Tbe
Dalles of $107.30. The facts in the matter
are that when he was picked np on our
street be was penniless, dirty and ragged,
and apparently insane. He escaped from
the marshal' office by tearing a hole
through the plastering, and on being taken
to the county jail his first effort was to
find some means by which be could dig out.
After being examined for insanity, and not
found a fit subjeot for the asylum hi fare
to Portland was paid. The authorities of
that city will know him better after they
have had experience.
The Wheat Market.
The wheat season fairly opened yester
day, and tbe East End presents a lively ap
pearance. In tbe afternoon there were
twenty-three wagons in line waiting to be
unloaded, and this morning as early a 3
o'clock some had crossed the river from
Klickitat oounty and were congregated in
the vicinity of the warehouse. It is almost
impossible to find room to pass in the street
and as rapidly a sack can ba handled grain
is unloaded.
A great quantity ot thi wheat comes
from Washington, and by reason ot tbe free
ferry over the Columbia and tbe high price
paid.the farmer in that state in the vicinity
of the river seek this market With them
the busiest season is dnring the time tbey
are hauling wheat Taking a few hours
deep, about midnight they load their wag
on and start on their journeyarriving at
the terry at early dawn. Some; drive all
night and are in position to dispose of their
loads as soon as dealers can be awakened
from tbeir slumbers. We have it from
trustworthy authority that fifty wagon
were at one time this morning waiting in
line, and each one of these bad about fifty
bushel of grain,
Tygh ridge.io the neighborhood of King,
ley, is the principal part of thi oounty de
voted to grain railing, and the yield this
year i yery good. One farmer informed us
thi morning that he harvested nearly 3000
bushels, but if the crop had bean ai nv
age be would have doubled tha amount
Eingsley is about twenty-six mile distant
and by making an early start the drive is
made in one day. Wagmt are constantly
kept in motion nntil the harvest is mark
eted, and, although this is tiresome on men
and animal, they manage to stand it for a
few weeks. To get a view of tbe road
from ome elevated point and see the con
tinuous row ot conveyance on th roads
converging at this point will give one an
idea of tbe importance of Tbe Dalle as a
hipping point
At Moody' warehouse the employe are '
bosy hanpling grain, and tbe din of mov
ing track keep np a constant and euphoni
on tune. It ia almost impossible to get the
ear of any one, as all are on the jump from
early morning nntil late in th evening. It
i probable that more wheat and wool are
handled at this warehouse than at any one
in tbe Inland Empire. The facilities for
shipping are excellent and price are kept
np to the highest figure. Mr. W. H.
Moody told ns thi morning tbat thi flood
of wheat he expect to continue daring the
gt eater part ot next month.' It ia true that
in Waaco the crop ha not been an average,
but an increased acreage was Planted; while
in Klickitat county tbe yield was far above
the average, and doable the amount of
grain was sown than formerly. The price
till keep np to the former figure, 60 cents
a bushel, and thi is equal to that paid in
towns in the Willamette valley, where there
i water communication with seaboard.
