Ni further witnesses were called in the
inquest on Mr. Rsady'a remains thin thosK
meotioned in yesterday's issue. About 6
o'clock yesterday evening the jury returned
the verdict, which follows.
The testimony of W. H. McCoy, front
brakeman on the extra freight., waa io re
gard to the position of the train. When
the extra amvad at tba summit, 21 west
bound was waiticg there, and the switch
was open for the aide tiaok. He threw the
witch for tbe siding o to give R&idy
a chanoe for his slack, and went forward
and flagged No. 1., which was answered
soon afterwards. Tbe signal - was a stop
signal, nut t slow ngnal. He started back
to throw the switch and saw No. I cominu
at a sood rate of speed, and nigged him
again, and it was answered. After the ac-
oideut he asked Shtrinan why he didn't
top, but received oo answer, only the in
quiry h-re waa Ro.dy. The aiding could
only hold 37 ear and there were forty on
tbe extra. "
W. Harding, the conductor on the extra.
was called, and teatifitd regarding the time
the train arrived at Summit; that AO.'Zl
waa on the main line, .headed in; cut off
two cars and pushed 21 oat; then went
down to back end to clear, so a, to let No.
1 through; was about the middle of the
train when he was trying to back in; was
looking over tbe train to see it the air war
fixed, and was about seven or eight cars
from the engine when the s gml was an
swered; waa about the aame distance when
they bit. This is the subatanoe of his testi
mony, except that a lamp was a "flig,"' and
that two i-hort blasts from tbs whiatle
meant a 'fl gm"
C, P. Clark, tbe hind brakemso, testified
about tbe extra meeting No. 21 at Summit.
In order to back the train, into tha dear the
slack of the train had to ba taken ia several
times; the side track is on a grade, and he
holding the flag on the oaboose: was
holding tbe slack when No. 1 bit; heard tbe
engineer s whistle oo tio. I wben he an
swered the head mao'a flag; was forty car
from the head man' flag.
J. Parson, the fireman, wa the next
witness. He testified that before they
came to the switch he asked Ready if they
were going to meet Nj. 21 aud No. 1.
yVheu they came to the switch the . side
track would not hold the train. .They bad
o get out on the main tins to let 21 out.
Toe headlight of the extra was burning.
Ho did not jump, but was throwa out.
Wben the track was dear, they put a blind
on the headlight. He thought they were
clear of the ma n line. Heard Ready and
the fligman talking about going ont and
flagging the train
W. J. Sherman wss tbe next witness
oalled. H: was the engineer on the pass ea
ger train. Wben he vaine to Celiio saw" a
beadiigbt at tbe summit, and be was f.ur
minutes late. As he came near Summit,
after ha had whistled, got a signal from a
(amp beiog waived across the track. He
answered it with two blast of tbe whistle;
shot off hi stsam and let the train roll
along up to the fLgman; another little sig
nal was given and tbe'fltgmao sjud "We
don't olear," and this Was answered with
two abort blasts el tha whittle. Be did
not see the target, from the glare of Mr.
Ready' headlight; but they were io the
clear and tha switch was thrown for the
side traofc. Have frequently met trains
there and tbey gave that s'goal and tbe
trains roll in between tbe switches. He
eould have cleared f the switch had been
placed for tbe main line. There was a good
deal of flying around there for a seoood Qr
two after the collision. The brakeman
asked him why he didn't answer hi signal
and he said ba did. . He waa fligged the
same way at John Day, and tbe flag was
answered. The hind end of the train stuck
out over the side traok and let bis train roll
between tba switches apd stop,
When he saw tbe signal the last time it
would have been impossible lor him to have
topped. If tbe brakeman bad remained
wbere be was first be wonld have stopped.
Supposed tbe extra didn't clear at the west
end. The aocident occurred about 3:35 in
the morning, and Ready'a body was found
about 0. Was about two or three hundred
yard from the awitoh wben ba aaw first
ignal, and the last time about thirty yards.
Tbe train was going about 20 miles an honr,
and it wa impossible to stop it in that dis
tance. Sbutofi steam after first signal, and
d not use it again,
F. Jobson, jr., tho firemsa on the pas
senger train, testiUed that they were four
minute late leaving Celiio. Two seoocda
fter second signal oollisioa occurred"
Hadn't time oaly to let go off cord, and put
tbe air on wben they hit the extra. The
crew of tbe extra wa using tbe main line
on passenger time, and it was four minutes
late. . It was proper f r them to have a flag
half mils from there so as to stop ap
proaching trains. It ia customary for
freights to fUg this way wben sawing
by to stand a couple of oar length from
tba switch and fl.g as with a white flig, as
was dona in this case. Jobaon asked the
fireman if "Joe" Ready jumped all right,
Tba fireman answered no; the last he saw
oi him he was sitting in his seat. Tbe ex
tra was into the clear, and the fireman
asked Mr, Ready if he ahould cover the
headlight. Ready said "No; never cover
tha beadiigbt en less th train dears the
main line." In tbia case if tbe engineer of
toe freight had oovered the headlight he
would have violated tbe rales. They bad
no right to nsa the main line on passenger
time without proper flagging, and are to
dear the line ten minute before the time of
passenger trains. Wben tha headlight is
burning that is a signal that the main line
is blocked, bat that doea not relieve the
condnotor from proper fligging. When the
end don't clear it ia customary to flag in
front of tba train. One naif-mile distant is
proper for flagging when switoh is open in
front, and then train stops and take ud
flagman. When close to switch trains
don't stop. r '

Fatal Railroad Accident.
Yesterday mnruing aa Na 1. the west
bound passenger train was passing what
is known as the Summit it came in colli
sion with a freight train on the side track
wrecking both locomotives in a frightful
manner Mr. Sherman was engineer on
tbe passenger train, and he and his fire
man were thrown out without receiviu
injury; but the eugineer oa the freigh
train, Mr. J. W. Ifeady, was caught by
tbe overturned tank, aud, it is presumed
instantly Killed. His fireman escaped by
jumping from tbe cab. It is not known
whether Mr. Ready jumped or not, but
be was found about two hours after tbe
accident under the tender of his engine
bis bead crushed and body mangled in
fearful manner.
There are two or more versions of the
manner In which the accident occurred
but the facts will be ascertained on ihe
inquest .One report' says that Mr. Ready
bad used hu locomotive to help a west
bound over the grade and had backed on
the side track, and sent out a brakeman to
flag the approaching passenger before the
collision happened. Other descriptions
of the accident differ in some particulars,
but tbey all agree that the freight train
was on tbe side track, and the open
switch was the direct cause of tbe col
lision. The lrelzbt had forty cars et-
acbed to tbe locomotive while tbe
witch would hold only thirty-eight. A
long train like this managed to piss an
other by what it termed "jawing " and
Mr. Ready was lorsed to do this to let the
passenger train pass.
The accident occurred about half-past
9 o'clock in the morning, and at a point
about S miles east of The Dalles. As
Boon as tbo collision happened a passen
ger walked in town and gave the informa
tion. Quickly as possible the wrcckng
car with a force of men went out to the
scene ot the collision ana removed tbe
4ubri3. Mr. Ready was . net found until
some hours after, and bis body was re
moved from under tbe tender and brough
to this city. He was a member of the
Masonic fraternity, flight of Pythias
and of tbe brotherhood ot Locomotive
Engineers.
Mr. Ready wa3a m an of excellent rep
Dtatiou in all the daily walks ot life, and
no ope could be removed from tbe active
sphere of existence whose death would
cause more universal regrst jn the com
munity. He was gentlemanly and cour
teous to all inea, and was universally re
spected tor the exemplification of tbe
higher principles of Honor and integrity.
His age was about 33 year., and he leayes
a little girl ia this city about 1 years old.
He bad been sepa-ated from bis wife for
some timr, and bis little daughter has
found a home with kind friends io The
Dalles"
Coroner a Inquest.
Mr. W. H. Butts, the coroner, impan
elled a jury yesterday to hold an inquest
over the remains of Mr. J. W. Ready,
and the following persons were sworn
and qualified: A S, McAllister, A.
Larsen, W. Magee. W. McCrum, Geo.
W. Runyan and R: G. Closter. - The
examination of wituesses begun today,
but the verdict was not rendered in timo
to publish in this issue. Mr. Wm Hard
ing, the conductor on the freight train,
was sworn and examined, and also W.
H. McCoy and C. Clark, brakeman, J.
Parson, fireman, and W. J. Sherman,
engineer, and F. Jobson, jr., on the pas
senger train. We did not read the evi
dence given, but are informed not by
any person present that it will show
the collision was one of those unfortu
nate accident that might happen with
the most skilful and careful. Mr Sher
man and his fireman did not jump out
of the cab, but were thrown out by the
force of the colliding engines, and tbe
same was true. of Mr. Ready and Mr,
Parsons, the former being killed in
stantly and the latter injured in the right
arm." The switch was open because Mr.
Ready bad just finished "see -sawing"
to allow a west-bound freight to pass
and was unable to back his train. It is
stated that Mr. Ready was ahead of
time and Mr. Sherman four minutes bp-
hind. The passenger engineer did not
know the switch was open, apd. thought
the signals were given for him to make
the main track while the freight "see
sawed" around him on the side track.
These reports may not be true, but the
verdict of the jury will be published to
morrow. .

The relatives of Pryor Scott have all con
elided that when he left borne on tha oiorn
na; of Sunday, Daoeoiber 9th, he either
jamped or fell iu'o the Willamette river.
Saaroh of the river for thi body is still
kept op and a reward of 8ftv dollars hrs
beeo offered far its recovery. There are
three places in the river betweea here and
Albany where tbe b dy would be most
like'y to lodge. The first is three miles be-
lov at "Dead River," a channel half a mile
i 1 length, pica the man channel, but now
thic!y entangled with brush and drift,
through which considerable water fl jws. ft
is difficult to traverse tbis ohaonel with a
small boat, and onoa in there the discovery
of the body will bs a m re matter of chance.
A mile below is "Half Mooa Band," where
(he chancel flows in a seai-circle acd at
one place pane a great quantity of snags,
driftwood and brash, where tbe body drag
ging along tha bed of tbe river might OAteh
and hang for months, unless disturbed by
passioe steamers or floods, The third likely
'pot is Bowers' sloufcb tlx; miles down tha
river from CorvallU, and like tha other
places a considerable current to drag the
body In passes through brush and drift,
ready to fasten to the dead man's olotbing,
and bold it for an adennita peiiod.

, Turf Trip.
" Puyallup Commerce.
The exploring expedition sent out by the
Seattle P.-I. was in Puyallup Monday and
enlisted 4 of Fred Meeker's oarrier pigeons
to bring baok the news of where they are a'
and bow long they will be there. Tbe party
will climb the great snow mountain that
atacda east by southeast from Puyallup and
looms np 15,000 milesa gain if 556 in let
thauve veir. The recent yoloiuio disturb
ances, if uob they are, wjll ba investigated
in the interest of science. '
Capt. W. M. Sheffield, beading the ex
pedition, is a mountain olimbar from away
back. As a small boy he need to climb to
the top of the flagstaff oo Capt Stamp's
steamboat at Tbe Dalles, and' later on John
Michell bad bim scale Brewery hill, Mt.
Hood and other eminences in. tha intareat of
the TlXKS-MouMalNBKB, Ha and Win-
lock Steiwer also explored Mt. . Jennie, be
yond tbe high Cold Camp country". .
Then Capt. Sheffield went to Alkali, and
while editing Xhs' Entcrprite ba and M. V.
Harrison explored all 'the lurronnding
peaks, not even excepting that on which is
located tbe town reservoir. And he and F
O. Middleton, ot the Vrejonian staff, ex.
plored the wild Wood river region and pen
etrated the rough Salmon river mountains
and left trails for Lieutenant Farrow's
scouts to take up later 00. And after dis
covering Buffalo Hump mountains in Idaho
with Col. Holmes, ha enlisted on tba staff
of the Tacoma Ledger and did distinguished
aervica exploring tbe high water and the
Soldier '1 Home.
Thus it is seen that Capt. Sheffield ia ad
mirably Stted for tbe bard trip be baa vol
untarily tackled, and it ia to be sinoerely
hoped that he and his man may accomplish
their object and waste no precious lives in
tbe yawning chasms.
It seems too bad to thai risk human life
on tbe freezine mountain side.
Lieutenant Swatka waa a great explorer,
and accomplished some results in tha Artio
without aaoriScing human life. .But wben
he tried to explore Yellowstone Park in tbe
winter of '67, even with a well equipped
government outdt, he failed. But tba "atgn"
be lell is quite laating, for even to this day
tha tourists who go through that wonder
land 10 tbe auraner time are pointed oat
many "relics of the S atka expedition"
empty bottles. Poor .Swatka let tba bottle
become hia boss. And it knocked bim down
and rolled over bim.
Ha would tod ty be a geogrsphioal orna
ment to tbe world if, a quarter of a century
ago,' be had dashed the bottie'a brains qut
againat the fly-wfyeel of tbe power press in
the Qregon Sta'tima otBo', instead of so
cietly talking to it as a fridqi, as be did.

What Will be Dobo
' A good many think tha sal of the Ore
gon PaciHo to Hammond aad Booner should
be oonSrmed. t probably will ba. It
leaves certificate holders out; but it looks
very muob now at if that was inevitable.
Mr. Bonner, one of the purchasers, states
distinctly tint it will be the policy of the
new owners to keep op the road and extend
it ibto Eaatero Oregon , Tbey ridicule the
pumeroqt rumor t about what they would
do if they once got bold of the property.
The Oregon Paciflo ia too valuable a proposi
tion to be dropped. It it bound to go east,
ward, and it looki very mnch aa if the new
men wou'd get it there at quick aa any
body. The tale will come np for confirma
tion tefora Judge Fallertoa at Corvallis oa
January 10th,
Christmas Ob-rvRJioa.
Tbe observance of Christ mat was very
genera, and aside from tbe shock to the
community felt in the tragic death of Mr.
V. Ready, the engineer, the day will
be one of pleasant remembrance. At tbe
Catholic church services were held morn
ing and evening; also at the Lutheran
cbapel and a sermon was preached at the
Congregational church by the pastor,
Rev. W. C. Curtis.
Tbe' night before was the time for
Christmas trees, ladened with good things
for big and little folks. There were rery
many of thes, and the hearts of all
were made clad. Some still kept to the
custom ot banging the stocking near tbe
chimney, so that it would be convenient
for Santa Claus when he made hia debut.
The poor were not forgotten, and many
kind hearted people huuled up the needy
and bestowea oa them gifts Ibai relieved
then necessities.
At night there were magic lantern
Views presented at tbe armory by the
ladies' guild, at tbe opera bouse a ship of
glad tidings containing gifts for tbe poor,
and at the Methodist church a unique en
tertainment in the shape of a fish pond,
wbere the little folks angled with rods for
knica-knacks and candy.
