A Railroad Horror.
Battle Cbeek. Mien.. Oct. 20 A
frightful wreck and holocaust occurred
early this moraing on the Giand Trunk
road a mi!o and one half from thia city,
in which thirtT five lo forty lost their
lives and scores are maimed. An east
bound special train, loaded with return
ing world's fair passengers, came in col
lision head-on with a west-bound passen
eer. causing a disastrous smash-up. The
wreck look fire, and many of the woun
ded pinned beneath the broken timbers
and twisted iron were burned to death
The responsibility for the accident is said
to rest with Conductor Scott sua .u
gineer Wooley, of the east-bound train,
who disobeyed orders by not stopping at
Michois to let th3 weal-bound pass
Twenty-four dead bodies have been ai
ready taken from the lulus, all terribly
''timed end unrecognizable.
The killed, as far as known, are nil
eas'ern people luree couches ol the
east-bound train burned comp etily up,
It is supposed lully as m;ny ure stili in
thn urrei'lt aa rmve lif.n thkn fin:. Fully
forty were severely, if not fatally, injured
Th....l.Ui,.H i.n a.-.. - Rm mr!
Whilcomb excursion returning from Ciii
cago, loaded wilh passengers from New
York and Boston. The loss of life was
id the west-bound train, not the eaa-
bouod special as at first reported. Both
tngincs were badl? wrecked, also tne
bacgai'e car of the easlhouod tram; but
the rest of it, being made up ot sleeper?,
withstood the shoes and nooody in them
was hurt.
SOME FRIGHTFUL SCENES,
Tte west-bound trsin wig made up of
thirteen da; coaches, four of which com
p'etclj telescoped each other, and it was
here the most frightful scents were wit
neo&ed, as the cars at once caught fire
lrom the lamps and were consumed. The
tram men saved tueruse'ves by jumping,
except Conductor Burk of toe wes -
bound train, who was caught between tne
cars and badly hurt. Most of the deaths
occurred iu one car, which was 'e (.scoped
by those in front and behind it in suuh a
way as to pen the passengers in like rats
in a trap. The accident was a mile from
a fire btalioo, and before water could be
turned on and firemen get to work the
cars were consumed. Twenty-five bod
ies were taken from this car alone as soon
as the fire was out Nearly a-l had tlieir
beads, arms or legs burned off and were
unrecognizable. They wete mostly piled
up in one end of the car. where they were
shoved bv the telescoping of lh curs.
Only eight or ten (.scaptd from this car.
A horrible sight was that of Mrs. Charles
Van Dustn, of Fort Plain, N. Y, who
got baif way out of the window, but her
legs got fittiiciied so that those wboran
lo her " assistance could cot rescue her
and she was burned to death before thttr
eyes .
In the Senate.
Washington, Oct. 20 Voorbees gave
notice of en amendment to the rules to
the effect that when a bill or resolution
pending as unfinished business shall Nave
been debuted 30 days any . senator may
more to Ox a timo lor taking a vote
thereon. Such motion shall not be
amendable nor debatable, and if pased
tbe pending bill or reso'ution shalf be
voted on at the time fixed.
Morgan, by reqtKst, introduced a bill
to laciiitate the collection of debts pay
able to tbe United States from govern"
meat aided railroad's and to enforce the
accountability of the directors of said
companies The senate then went into
executive session.
At 1:30 P. M tbe senate was still in
executive session considering nomina
tions, chiefly those to which there were
objections Tbe general impression is
that the executive session is lor tbe pur
pose of a'lnwirjg time to arrange tbe
terms of the compromise bill and for
bearing the result of the cabinet meeting
today. A majority of tb9 Democratic
senators speak of compromieo as an as
sured fact.
The Chinese Wilt Bents tor
Washington, Oct. 20 The president
has sent to the senate in executive session
a message transmitting tbe report ot tbe
secretary of state in reply to Dolph's res
olution of inquiry concerning the atti
tude of China in regard lo the extension
of time for the registration of- Chinese
laborers. The report says: ''While tbe.
government of Cbina has not formally
reqoested that tbe time for registration
provided lor in the Weary law beex-
tended, and no for mil assurance has been
given that if extended tbe Chinese lab
orers in tbe United States will take out
certificates as provided by the net, tba
Cmnese minister has repeatedly asserted
in conlerences with the undersigned tnat
bis countrymen residing in the United
States at tbe time ot the passage of the
act on tbe advice of eminent counsel and
in good faith refrained from registering
within the time allowed, and that it
would be unjust to deny them another
opportunity to register. Tbe minister
has more than once given assurance that
an additional opportunity to register
would afford "bis government great satis
faction.
Another Horror la Npokane.
Spokane, Oct. 19 A little before 9
o'clock this evening a terrific explosion
shook tbe business center ol the city. A
minute later flumes burst out in a frame
store on Howard, between Sprague and
First streets. Tberc bad been a gas ex
plosion in tbe dye works of C L Trotter,
which quickly set fire to that building
and tbe book store of Henry Feise. In
the book store at tbe time were half a
dozen persons. Mrs. William Beam was
caught in the debris and burned to death
in view of those trying to save ber. One
man tried bard to pull away tbo wreck,
hut was finally driven back by the
flames. Miss Ruth Turner and two men
and a boy were injured. One of tbe men
was pinnet) by falling timbers. Miss
Turner and the others climbed out at a
window and appealed to tbe crowd to
help out the imprisoned victim, but tbe
fl lines were spreading so rapidly that no
one conld respond. Later tbe police and
firemen broke into the wrecked building
and removed the body of Mrs. Beam. It
is feared that other lives may have been
lost in tbe dye works, but the p'ace is so
wrecked 'by tbe explosion and fire that
this uncertainty may not be cleared be
fore morning Windows were oroken for
blocks nronnd. The proDerty loss will
he between 5000 and $10 000. Tbe
death of Mrs. Beam was attended with
heartrending circumstncei. Albert S.
Smith, who was in tbe book store at the
time of the explosion, exerted superhu
man t-fforts to release ber. Mealwhile
Miss Turner was on the street appealing
to the men to go tn and help save the
noman. When Mrs. B-am saw that res
cue whs nut of the question, she gave
larewe I message? tn ber husband and
children. Mr Smith then fled for bis
own life, and oot a moment too soon. At
he door be met the firemen, but ti e
flimes drove the latter back.

Genesee, Idaho, Oct. 19 Last mgbt
Deputy United States Marshal Renshaw
arrested, on a charge ot larceny, Thomas
Page, a lawyer, of Walla Walla, and
took him to Moscow today. Tbe arrest
1 is shrouded in mystery. Rumor says tbe
charge came from PendletOD, and that
there is motive other than that given for
the arrest. Page is well known all over
eastern Washington, as having been
prominent tn preventing the early con
summation of the Nez Perce treaty. He
also has large areas of land rented on the
Umatilla and Nez Perce reservations.

turned a verdict today charging Cbarlts

Dallas Observer: Polk county "gets
there" when it comes to hops Her crop
has more than doubled in the past year.
We can now claim the second hop county
in tbe state. As compiled from reports
of our hopmen, the estimated number of
bales this season is 6365, as against 3000
bales last year. Basel on the general
average of 180 pounds to the bale gives a
grand total 1,145,700 pounds; at 18 centa
per ponnd tbe crop would call for $206,
226. Verily, no little sum for tbe Polk,
county bop growers.
We bave beard it estimated from a per
son who is acquainted with tbe situation
tbat from 400,000 to 500,000 bushels ot
wheat have been damaged by the late
rains in Sherman county. Where sacks

grain is not saleable. This is a heavy
blow on tbe farmers of this portion of
Eastern Oregon, aa tor the past three or
tour years they have been very unfortunate
in their harvests. The highest prices
paid at the railroad stations bave bgen 37
and 38 cents, and this hardly pays for
seed and the expenses of harvesting and
threshing.

a strong probability of the shops' being
