A Railroad Horror.
Jackson, Mich., Oct. 13 One of tb
most frightful railroad accidents occurred
bere at 9:30 this morning. The second
section of tbe Oswego special ran into the
rear end of the first, teiescopiDgr two of
trie C09cbts,smashiug tbc cars and crush
ion tbe life out of scores of people. In
side of twenty minutes six bod us were
taken out, and the work had only begOD
A wrecking iraiu is just corning to tbe
scene to lift the shattered cars.
Toe accident occurred while fhe first
section was etandititf i n the truck. Some
of tbc passtnqers were out on the ground.
some enting break Ins t, anl man asleep
Tbe telescoped cars were the firt and
second unes lrom the rear of the first
special. No one can sav bow many arc
killed. All tbe undertakers and physic
iaos and assistants on tbc ground are do-
inr; all the; can, but tbe night is appul-
lins. Every unaertuking tslab! sbuient
in the city is overrun witb" the dead.
Tbe accident was not due to a mi
placed switch. i-ugineir Mrbalen. in
ctiarsie of tbe section, fays he aw the
sign,! to keeo back, hui wbeu he tnt d
to stop tbe tra n he found tbe air brake
would not work, rrakicg it impossible to
stop. VVbalen was badly burned, and has
one leg broken. All tbe dead and in
jured have been taken from the wreck.
Tbe dead number 17, and the ltijured 02.
Must of tbe dead are frightfully mang ed.
The wreck was one ot tbe sections of a
world's fair train of the Del war?. Lack-
awauna and Western road runniDg over
the Michigan Ceutral tracks. Two rear
cars completely telescoped eacb other,
and every person in them was Hirer
killed or injured Willing iimds at once
went to work, and as soon as possible the
wounded were rescued and cared lor, and
the dead removed to the uiorgUe3.
So far 1U bodies have been found, lie
injured number 50 to 60. A large force
is at work clearing away the timoer. It
is feared tntre are bodies beneath the
cars. II is laipossib e yet to gel a com
plete list of the wounded, as many were
taken to private bouses. Tne unknown
babe has been identified as the child ot
Mrs. Anson Hcrr ugton It is supposed
the nun aud one of the unknown women
are husband and wile, named Buck.
A e T ne Amerlrau Women.
Ponca, Oklahoma, Oct. 13 A few
days before the memorable 16th of Sep
tember, aunouurement was cade through
the press that Miss Annette Daisy was
leading a colony of spinsters and widows
nto tbe Cherokee strip for the purpose of
establishing a women's settlement. Miss
Daisy is a Kentucky woman wbo bas
aken part iu all the runs by which lands
ave been settled m the territory. 1ms
ime it was s ated that ebe intended to
found a community from which men
would be excluded. Of the tame m:nd
and intention were nearly forty women,
wbo bad accepted Miss Dais; as a leader.
During the rush and the excitement fol
lowing tbe opening, these women, wbo
had been waiting neer Arkansas City,
were lost eight of. It ha since been
learned thnt they were partially success
ful. They secured possession ot three
quarter-sections ol good land, or 480
acres, a few miles west of this place, on
which they have begun permanent im
provements. Alfred Vacderpool, who is
doing missionary work in tbe strip, and
wbo bas just completed an overland trip
from Enid to Ponca, reports that be
found twenty two of the Daisy colony
settled on the three quarter-sections,
where they already have two small houses
and four tents. . Tbey have endeavored
to buy out tbe man wbo secured the off
quarter of tbe section on which they are
located, but so far have been unsuccess
ful. He evidently la too well pleased
witb bis neighbors.
The Extent of tne Late titorm.
Spokane, Oct. 12 The storm seems to
have exhausted itself. AH day the sun
bas been shining brightly, and- a drying
wind has blown over tbe grain fields. It
1-- difficult to estimate the extent of tbe
lots. Tbe damage Is measured by oifLr
ent gauges. Some say that the worst has
not been told, and others declare that the
reports have been exaggi rated. The
opinion is general, though, that one
fourth of the crop is threshed and safe
from damage, and that tbe rest will be
more or less injured. How much of this
will grade as second-class gram, and bow
much will not be tnarKetable at all. is yet
a question to be answered only by tbe
weather of the next fortnight and tbe
showing made by the threshers.
The lie gait la Doubt.
New York, Oct. 13 Taking into con
sideration tbe time allowed and the difference-
in crossing the line, it appears
tbe Vigilant won by 6 to 10 seconds, but
all these are times token lrom the scores;
therefore it may be a few seconds out of
the way. For-.th.at reason it cannot be
definitely stated pending tbe official time
whicb boat takes tue race.
The best information at tha New York
Yacht Club is tbe Vigilant won by 12
Seconds.
It is reported the official time will
show the finisn of the yachts as follows:
Vigilant, 3 :51 :05 ; Valkyrie, 3 :53 :10.
The Storm on the Coaat.
Astobia, Or, Oct. 12 One of tbe most
beautiful days of the year bas succeeded
tbe big s'orm. Reports to day from all
parts of the country show that valuable
timber in the outlying districts was blown
down by the heavy wind, and several fine
fruit trees on tbe line ol the Astoria und
South Coast railroad bave been destroyed.
C at8op beach is foam-flicked from one
end to tbe other, and the surf is still very
bigb. Tbe spray on Tillamook rock is
duelling up in a continuous shower to a
height of forty fent.
Into the. Hands of a lteeerver.
Omaha, Oct. 13 A plea in equity was
filed in the United States district court
to-day. Judge Dundy appointed S. H.
Clark and E. EMery Ankerson, of New
York, and O. W. Mink, of Boston, re
ceivers of tbe Union Pacific railroad. The
application for a receiver was made by
tbe executors of the Frederick L Ames
estate, Oliver Ames, Samuel Carr, Eawin
F. Atk"in6 and Peter Wycofl Tbe an
nouncement ot the application and ap
pointment of receivers came simultane
ously about coon.
Voorhees Will Try It Again;
Washington, Oct. 13 Voorhees said
to the- Associated Press tbat he would, at
6 o'clock this evening, ag-dn ask the sen
ate to continue in stssiou during the
night and keep it up until a vote is
reached He did not know whether be
could hold a quotum, but it would not be
bis fault if one failed.
A movement is on foot in opposition
to Voorhees' proposition to ask tor a
night session, to procure an adjournment
at 5:30 till Monday.
Healers Will Evade the Law.
Ottawa, Oct. 13 Sir Charles Tapper
says tbat in bis opinion Canada bas got
the best of tbe bargain in tbe Bebring sea
arbitration. Tbe killing of seals witb
firearms or explosive! was prohibited
during tbe month of August, but an
equally enective means ot killing seals is
wiib airguns. such as are now used for
killing whales. The sealers of Britis
Columbia are now turning their atten
tion to this mode of evading the regula
tions.
Lost in a Snowsllde.
Monte Chkisto, Oct. 12 John Quin
liven, Phil Conley and Fred McHugb
working for Wilman's Mining Company
were vesterdav carried about a mile in
snows'.ide Phil Conley was injured in
rernally. Harry Wiliiams, employed by
the same company, bat mysteriously dis
appeared, and tbe supposition is tbat b
was earned off by a snowslide aud cov
ered up. It is snowing hnrd bere.

an agreement was reached to take a vote
on tbe Chinese bill at 3 o'clock Monday

diately after the house is through dis
cussing the Chinese bill.
Uamaen at the Capital.
Washington, Oct. 14 The storm was
very severe in Washington and the dam
age great. Associate justice Brown, of
the supreme court, had an artery in his
bead cut by a p!ate-g!a;s window which
was blown ta at bis residence, and came
very near bleeding to death before med
ical assistance could he obtained to tie
tbe artery. He is reported out of dan
ger now, but will be conaned to his
house for some days. Tbe walls of the
new Ca'vary Baptist church blew down
fortunately without injury to anybody.
Damage to ponce and fare alarm service
was greater than was ever known before
The tide on the river rose to an unprece
dented height. Considerable injury was
done along the wharves. Trees were
blown in every direction The Western
Union and Postal Telegraph Companies
suffered greatly from the storm. Both
companies were obliged to refuse busi
ness to all points. The United Press lost
control of all its leased wires between six
and seven o'clock in thd evening.
Was Probably Drowned.
Port Townbend, Wash., Oct. 14 Tbe
ma l steamer Bvangelt from Fridiry har
bor this evening, clears up the mystery
surrounding tbe disappearance of young
Harry Evans, son of the lighthouse
keeper at Admiralty bead, who. It was
thought, bad been murdered or kidnapped.
The United States revenue luancb Sibyl
was on duty at Friday harbor yesterday.
It picked up the lighthouse boat floating
bottom up at Deception pass, furnishing
conclusive evidence that the boy was
drowned. Young Evans was at Smith's
island Monday, and sailed oil two hours
before tbe breaking of one of the severest
storms ever experienced in this section.

rested on the ch arge of highway robbery
and assault witb intent to kill Dave

bim, and in the scuffle tbe latter was
Blabbed in tbe left shoulder and a small
amount of money taken. Homan was

Hothlns bat Knmor.
Washington, Oct. 14 Today was
pregnant witb rumors of compromises
and agreements on tbe sliver question.
Enough is known to lead to the conclu
sion tbat mutual concessions bave been
made, and statements f senators justify
tbe hope that before next week bas parsed
there will be a movement toward tbe
settlement of the question." Just, what
the coin prom1 so will be cannot be said,
but that whicb meets with most favor
contemplates about the same provisions
as II at rib' amendment, combined with a
bond provision.

East Oregonian: A certain Mr. Raymond,
who has been operating a threshing outfit

misfortune for the poor man who must toil
and produce that others maybe comfortable
and wealthy. Kat mond abandoned his ma

Mr. C. S Miller arrived in this city to

depression Mr. Miller expects to produce
$30,000 or $40,000 of silver this season. Of

The reason tor boildinx the faotory in this

son of the rise of tha river daring Jans it
ill be very expensive to pat in a toauda-'

light With a Burfflar.
Burglars are desperate in the Willamette

Marks was entered and hsr parse, contain
ing $9 50 stolen. The robbery was com
mitted before any of the family retired, the
thief finding his way through an upstairs
window. When Mao Wiley went upstair
to go to bed he saw a man oat in the yard.
and after sweating a shotgun he went oat to
interview the intruder, wbo fired at Mao
ith a pistol. Mac returned the fire and
the thief ran ioto tbe woodshed, a short
distance from tbe bouse. Several shot were
then exchanged between the two, but no
one was hurt. When the ' shooting first
commenced, Mr. Mark went to some of the
neighbors for assistance. Frank Irvine soon
arrived, and while Mr. Irvine and Mao
were guarding the. woodshed tbe thief
slipped out and made bis escape in the
darkness. Burglars had recently made aev- .
eral attempts to enter this house before. It
stands everybody in hand to keep their
doors well locked these times."
