CO the Times-Mountaineer 8ATURDAY.. :...JDLV 22. 18H3 SPECIAL SESSIONS. While the country ia beiog agitated on the money question," and there ia . Borne discussion of the tariff, it is in teresting to the student to cote the facta of extra sessions of congress as they have occurred ia our history. By so doing one may learn the emergen cies that have preceded them, and the beneficial results that have followed. Eleven extra sessions have - been held, the first 'being called by Presi dent John Adams and the last by ' President Hayes. The latter called two auch -sessions, both to make the necessary preparations for some of the - great branches of government Presi dent Pierce had occasion - to call a apeoial - session for a similar reason. . The first in the series waa occasioned - by the break in our diplomatic rela tions with France under the directory, and second by our purchase of Louis iana from France under Napileon The most" important of all was the one called thirty two ' years ago by President Linloln, for war legislation. ' That session began July 4, 1861, and - closed the sixth of. the succeeding month. Only one extra session was ever oc casioned by hard times, and that waa convened by President', "Van Buren September 4, 1837. Specie payment had been suspended by the banka of the country in May. The.Whiga were anxious to have the national banks re chartered, which Van Buren opposed, advocating the sub treasury system substantially as it now obtains. The fight was a bitter one.1 The Whig! never ceased to put into their national platform a strong, anti-sub-treasury plank, but by : the time the Republi cans came into power that old issue had no vitality. Nor w'as there any - demand for a return to the national bank system. ' The present national bank system., baa nothing in common with the old onei.'whicli perished be neath the iron heel of Andrew Jack son. - -. -: . " . In 1840. as in 1892, the tariff waa the main issue, only protection instead of free trade won. William H. Har rison did in March, 1841, precisely what Grover Cleveland should have done in March, 1893 lost no time in calling an extra session of congress. In both cases the people had by their suffrages decreed a change in the tariff policy of the ' government, and the business interests of the country de manded the earliest practicable settle ment of the question of what changes in duties were to be made. ' General Harrison was a protectionist, and con gresa was in sympathy with him, as in the present case the president and con gress are both for a tariff for revenue only. The time set for the meeting was May 31, which was as early as the senators and representatives of some states could hear of the call and respond to it Practically not an hour was lost, and the session began at- the - earliest practicable moment.' Unfortunately the president died in the mean while. When congress did meet it was with no thought that Tyler would repudiate the platform on which he was elected, nor did his message to the newly con vened congress outline any deviation from the party programme. On the contrary, he advocated a protective tariff, but when it passed he vetoed it, to tne utter consternation and un speakable indignation of his party. It was as if Mr. Cleveland should die be fore August 7th and Adlai Stevenson should send in a message in favor of the repeal of the Sherman and Mo Kinley acts and then when repeal bills were passed should veto them; ' It is not possible for the American people of to-day to realize, the intense parti ' san bitterness aroused by Tyler's action. '. ; It is not fair to pass Judgment on "Mr. Lotan until it is known what evi dence of guilt there is against bim. . He waa summarily removed from his position, and it may be necessary to bolster up this act on the part of the administration. His trial will take place soon, and it would be well for the public not to condemn him until he has been proved guilty. BEY. W. H. WIL80H. The following are tbe remarks, in part, of Rev. W. C. Curtis, in bis funeral aermon over the remains of Be v. W. H. Wilson: Mr. Wilson waa tbe son of William and Mary (Wallace) Wilson, of Clinton, Alle ghany county P. One who knew bia father and mother says of them both that tbey were "remarkable for intelligence and Christian character." I can well believe it, for inch men do not often spring directly from onr common dust tbey are generally eyolved from an intelligent and noble an cestry. He was born on the 29ch of Janu ary, 1823. I can learn nothing of hie boy hood, and not much of bia youth, bnt a few simple words in characterization of him, taken from an old college, class record, brings bim very Vividly before me, and makes ' me . quite sure that I have not guessed wrongly in some important respeota. The reoord describes him aa a toll, slim young man of fair complexion, whose emo tions betrayed themselves in tbe flush that so quickly overspread his face. Gentle manly in manner, honorable and Christian n bia spirit, tender hearted, sensitive and modest, and possessing the confidence" and esteem of all.' I might atop just there and say that in all our knowledge and acquaint ance be waa only auch an. one fuller grown, lie was at that time a member of the Asso ciate church, aa I understand it, a branch of the Scotch Seeedera (Presbyterians) ' . He entered Jefferson college. Canonsbury, Pa., in tbe year 1843, graduating four years later. . In college he ranked high aa scholar, and earned for himself an enviable reputa tion aa a debater. --After, graduation he pursued his theological . studies at Canona burg. He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Cbartiers Oct 29th, 1850, and waa ordained by the Presbytery of Miami Angust, 1862. Jo 1S69 neaooepted the pasto rate of tbe first church of Washington Ia.. where he remained, ten years: While hold ing tfahr pastorate he was alaO" for five years a professor' in anathema tica and f the na tural sciences in Washington, college, bis ability and success aa a teacher, abundantly justifying the appointments. In 1862 sharing (and doubtless helping to bia utmost endeavor) the impulse of patriotism and de sire for the preservation of the nations' in tegrity, which possessed members of his congregation and community, he answered tbe call of his i ountry and went with- them aa chaplain of tbe Seventeenth Iowa volun teers. Members of the Grand Army of the. Bepubko and all who have toaooed in any way thirpart of his experience or eonyio tiona, kqow well that bis soul waa linked with tbe maintenance of the principles at stake in that struggle, though. I doobt not, the strugit e ended, be was as desirou; aa any one that the reign of chanty and mu tual helpfulneas should prevail throughout the entire laud. ,'- . .Aa to his ministry, I have it from his record ia ether place;- though if this were wanting, it could be fully verified from tbe ten months of his ocvnpancy of our own church in The Dalles.-' Not a few of those whose opinion I value m such matters, hav iog frequently declared bow they delightei in bia ministry and were profited by it. H vecoid is that of "an earnest, faithful and devoted minister of tbe gospel" of "one who carries tbe spirit of gospel in his life, and won and retained- the confidence and love of tbose about bim." ' He was a man of "fine literary tastes and studious habits, and if ever he fell short it waa not because he did not aim high and do bis utmost to reach tbe marc. One great characteristic of his preaching was his persoasiveaes Another equally prominent, " bis faculty of presenting gospel truth without denomi national bias or credal empha is, his presen tation being auch that many of diveise bt lief claimed him for their own, beiog so sure that his . view waa according to the troth. He waa in high esteem for genuine ability in every Presbytery with which be waa ever associated, and only his exceeding modesty, which really amounted to timid ity, kept bim from the prominence of which bis abilities gave promise. He gathere about bim a large, stroog church there iu Iowa, many members of which, as of tbe community, cherish to this day bis memor with great sadness. Had it not been that the paralysis fell upon him just as it did, be would have gone back to them this rummer and proved how much they could do - to make him ' know . bow good is the o'.d love." But the old church. dear as it was. could not keep him. Some how he got it into his heart that he ought to arise and go unto the great land bevond the mountain, whose shores are washed by the mighty Pacific a land which God would ahow him and give to him, in part at least, for a possession. I speak of the church and the cause he loved. At length in 1S69 he secured through the board of misaioua an appointment which removed him to Salinas City, Calif., where he remained ten years. It was a great deal like many of life's hopea and the lands of promise which are seem ingly opened unto us. Much there is in theui so mush that we would not think of going back nor of charging Gud with failing us. And yet there's always something nn fulfilled, something that makes us think tbat unless God bag some fuller, better thiog for us io those who shall come after us, taking our work were we leave it and carrying it to some high tullhlment, tbe promise has failed us. But tbe word of our God "upon which He baa caused us to hope" does not fail us. God is too great a God not to love and use ns all all who try to serve Him and saye our work from ur ter failure, nay rather to make it a part of His grand success which ia sure to come. There must bave been muob grand suc cess and much enjoyment too io tbeae years I'm sore of tbat, though the outcome waa something like a bitterness. (I apeak largely from impressions. ) It all came from a man'a being in a place and among a peo ple not yet prepared for bim. Tbat ia the oondition of propkeiure in all agea and among all people. It only seems strange when it touches us. He waa not soured by bis experience of man'a inhumanity to man of the Christian's sometime onkindness to bis brother a thing of narrowness and big otry and selfishness. He was not sonied by it, nor in anywise turned from Christianity nor tbe church; but grew even to the end in breadth and charity and sweetneaa aa we all do testify. Aa a parishoner aad fellow worker, where he waa not a pastor, h waa highly esteemed and greatly beloved for bis warm aympatby and steadfast Christian helpfulness. .' Mr. Wilson came to Waitsbnrg, Wash ington territory, in September, 1879. He moved to Dutch Flat in tbe spring of '80, living there through the hard .winter of 80-'81. Came to The Dalles in the fall of '81. Moyed on Mill creek io March of '82. living there until December, 1891, when he returned and took up has resilience in tbe city. . At the time of his death he waa prov ing up a homestead at Mitchell, about 125 milea south of here. He leaves a widow and three sons Lee. Parker and Norman and one daughter Mrs. Bela Huntington. Bobbery Hear L-le. Mr. Jesse W. Blakeney, of this city, re ceived a letter yesterday from his -wife's ancle, Mr. M. Spencer, residing near Lyle. Wash., containing the intelligence that Mr. James Gunnings, his son in-law, bad .b en robbed while coming borne from the boat landing of $270 by two armed men. Mr. Gunnings and wife reside near Vancouver, Wash., bnt about a month ago came on a visit to Mrs. Gunnings' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, and had been stopping on the farm since. . A few days ago Mr. Gunnings made trip to hia home at Vancouver on business, and had in his possession the amount named. The boat waa late that night, and in going from the whatf to Mr. Spencer's house, a distance of about three milea.he waa attacked by two men who relieved bim of the money; No information is given in tbe letter of the appearance of the robbers, but simply the bare tact of tbe theft. - The denominations were, two one hundred dollar greenbacks, one fifty dollar greenback, one twenty dollar greenback ai d two ' dollars in silver.' 'Whoever took tbe money must have possessed considerable knowledge of Mr. Gunnings' affairs, and also have been acquainted with the locality. any description i of the men had been given, a lookout could, be kept for them; but,' aa it is, it would puzzle tne keen obser vation of Sherlock Holmea to furnish the leaat clue regarding their. "identity. .Lyle has heretofore been considered a peaceable neighborhood, but auch acts as this wilt not improve its reputation in the minds of bonest men. , A Boy Drowned. Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, while some boys were bathing in Snipes' lake near Rowena, one of them was drowned. It seems tbat after swimming around for awh le, tbe unfortunate lad and ooe of the Snipes' boy attempted to ride two horses across - the slough, and when near the -center he fell from the animal in some way and before assistance could reaoh him- sank to the bottom.',,. Young Snipes aaya tbe first he knew that hia companion waa in the water was when he beard him struggling, and - before he could reach him be had sunk below the surface. The boy waa a. Uerman, and. he bad been, working for Mr. Hank Snipes tor two or three ire ks past. He came there with hia father, and the old-gentleman went to Walla Walla. He waa aged about sixteen years; but hia name- oaald not be ascertained. - At the plaoe where - the aouideut ? occurred I the slough is? about forty feet aoroes, and bury dep'viirithe center- The trod y waa not recovered last nigbt, and this morning Mr Geo. B. Snipes came to tbe eity and procured grappling hooks and dragged the lake. .,. , Encounter With Ed. Henderson. - Teslerday Deputy-Sheriff Jackson " ac companied a deputy from Douglas county, Wash. t. M. Corbley to Tygh valley o arrest Ed- Henderson. Tbe dep uty from Washington bad a warrant of arrest for Henderson from Douglas county for larceny, and the ..requisite papers to briDg-hlm- back ; with ;him.'; They met hiialn front of the store at -Tygh, and Mr. Jaclson called to him lo atop. Hen derson pulled up his horse and told Jack. son that he would go with him Jackson then took the bridle of the horse, and asked tbe deputy toreid the warrant. He stepped out: of the buggy -with his war rant in hand, began reading and laid his revolver on the seat. At this juncture Mr. Jackson requested Henderson to get off, when he leaned forward as though to take his feet out of tbe stirrups but in making the m vement drew a pistol out ot his shirt bosom, levelled it on the dnp uty and told him in not very elegant lan guage to let go the bridle, fie let go toe horse and at tbe same time reached be hind into tbe pocket of his pantaloon 3 to procure hia gun. The weapon was caught in the lining of the pocket, and before he could get it out, Henderson's pistol was discharged, the ball striking the ground by the side of Jackson. This was caused by the horse making a quick movement when the hand Ioos-jued ihe hold near the mouth. Tbe pistol was pointed directly in Jackson's lace, and tbe nervous motion of tbe animal is the only thing that caused tbe gun to deviate from its aim As soon as possible both deputies tired at Henderson, who In the meantime had put spurs to his animal and was riding rap idly away. Cojbley fired tnree shots. one of them striking the horse and caus ing bim to double up as though about to fall, when Henderson jerked bim op with the bridle and renewed his spurring I eputy Jackson managed to fire two shots at Henderson, and he retaliated by firing three times at the deputy sheriffs. Neither of these eight balls look effect, except the one that bit the horse. Henderson was well mouotel, and it waa impossible to overtake him in the buggy, so pursuit was not continued. The catile were sold to Mr. Harry Moran, who traced them up until be as certained they were stolen. A warrant was sworn out and placed in the hards of Special i)eputy v.'olbrey, who immediately rode to the railway station and came to The Dalles. He was followed by Mr. Moran and Deputy Sheriff Barnes, who arrived in town yesterday. It is presumed that Henderson received warning from some friends up there, and that he was placed on bis guard. We learn tbat the evidence against bim ia very convincing, and he will undoubtedly be convicted. There is no question that he will be even tually captured.although he is thoroughly acquainted with every canyon in Wasco county and may elude pursuit for some time. . . Coroner's Inquest, A jury was summoned this morning over the remains of the boy who waa- drowned in Snipes' lake last Sunday afternoon. After tbe jury waa empanelled several witnesses were sworn and testified. It appears that the boys had been accustomed to swim the horse8 over this slough in hunting the cows, and last Sunday Johan W etzki and -lames Mo own had been in bathing, fntting their shirts on they got on the backs of two horses, and while in swimming water the W etzki boy slipped off and was drowned. McCown tried to grab him while he waa tn the water, but could not reach h m, and his horse made for tbe shore. V hat- caused the boy to slip from the horse waa reaching for hia shirt, which fell in the water,. This was near the farm of Mr. Henry Snipes, and happened about 5 o'clock Efforta were made by Mr. Henry Snipes and by, his nephew to save the boy,' but these were futile of results. The following is the verdict of the jury: We the jury empanelled by the coroner of Wasco county to inquire into the cause of the death of .iohan Christian etzki find that hia death waa caused by drowning in Snipes' lake wh le trying to swim a horse across said lake, and that it waa purely ac cidental, iom victor, J.

Ochoco Bevicw: Ou Monday, the 10th inst., at about noon, tbe residence of the Indian agent, J. C. Luckey, was totally destroyed by fire, together with a large portion of the contents. The fire, seems to have originated in a terra cotta flue connected with the kitchen stove. VVhen discovered it was too late to make a suc cessful fight against- the flames. Those present worked heroically and with self forgetfulness worthy of all praise to save both government and personal property. Nearly all the furniture, bedding and clothing were taken out, hut a great num bei ot valuable books, a quaniity of dishes, gla.s and silver ware aid all the kitchen furniture aod utensils were lost. A trunk and contents belonging to Miss Ka'e Lister could not be reached and was destroyed. : At one time the office seemed to be doomed and tbe records were has tily r. moved to a place of safety, but prompt and energetic measures averted the danger. There was no insurance. The loss has not yet been estimated. A Queer Bank. sVntone Joseph was recently murdered in S uthern Oregon for his money, which waa not found. The Grants Pass Courier tells of bis bans: as follows: A joist had been very neatly mortised and into the cavity the sum of f 1700 had been neatly placed, each $100 rolled in paper and tied with a string. These packages were then packed around with cotton rags and the lid of the mortise neatly slid into pUce and he'd in' position by a small screw, which was not visible to the casual glance. There waa a sum of $250 found in a purse -thrown amongst some corn oobs in another part of the building, and it is thought Aotone had placed this there to be more easily foucd by robbers, who would then desiat in their search. If tbe location ot the coin bad not been previously known by his nephew it would perhaps bave remained hidden for many years yet. '''", To Whom It May Oonoern. .
