Oakland, California Has a Wedding -with

Bloomers Cholera Is Not
Coming.
New York, Sept. 6. Atrocities bv
the Spaniards, as revolting as those
committed by the Japanese at Port
Arthur, have just been reported to the
uuoan revolutionary party in JNew
York. Enrique Trujilo, editor of El
Porvenir, received a letter todav from
Juan Maspons Franco, chief of staff
under Maximo Gomez, the commander-
in-chief of the insurgent army. It
dated headquarters in the field, Aug.
3, and described the capture and re
capture of the city of Baire, and the
massacre of 37 inoffensive Cubans
mostly women and children by Span
iards under General Garrido.
On Tuesday morning, according to
Colonel Franco's letter, a company of
insurgents under Jose Rabi surprised
the Spanish garrison in the fortress
commanding the city of Baire, killed
more than 70 men and took 56 prisoners.
Thev captured a large supply of arms,
and persuaded the prisoners to enlist
in the insurgent ranks.
An hour latter three companies of
Spanish troops under command of
Garrido came up, and after a short,
but sharp resistance, the Cubans fled,
leaving the fortress again in the hands
of tbe invaders.
Soon after the fort had been regar-
risoned with Spaniards, one of tne
companies broke loose and began to
pillage the city. Commander Garrido
himself, Colonel Franco states, led the
uniformed rioters. H,very Human
creature who came in their path was
ruthlessly slain. Within five minutes
the streets of Baire were deserted by
the panic-stricken natives, but the
Spaniards followed them into their
houses and their own rooms. Age,
sex and condition were wholly dis
regarded bv their liveried butchers,
says Colonel Franco. -
NOW THE BLOOMER WEDDING.
The First on the Coast Occurred at Oak-

Oakland. Cal., Sept. 6. Oakland
orignated the bicycle spine argument,
which still echoes along the cyclers'
path, and Oakland has had bloomer

FKAKEB'8 IDENTITY.
No Doubt bat That the Blg-nt Man Has
Been Found.
Topeka, Sept. 6. A letter received
by L. W. Peck, editor of the Kansas
Independent, which is published here,
today, states positively that the man in
custody and representing himself to
be George W. Fraker, the insurance
swindler, is not Fraker, but Schnell,
a hermit who has lived for years in
Minnesota and Michigan. Peck says
the letter was written by a well-known
citizen of Duluth, whose name he de
clines to give at this time. Schnell's
companion in the woods near Tower,
it is alleged, was not arrested because
his evidence would prove conclusively
that the prisoner is not Fraker.
J. f. Davis, president of the Kansas
Mutual Life Insurance Company, said
last night that there was not a shadow
of doubt as to the identity of the man
arrested. He said it was George - W.
Fraker, and it would be but a short
time when all interested would admit
it. The insurance companies, he said,
would make no attempt to secure the
money until all were satisfied. He is
of the opinion that Fraker will be sent
to the penitentiary, although several
leading lawyers whom he had con
sulted had expressed the opinion that
there was no law under which he
could be convicted.
CALIFORNIA FRUIT
It Generally Brought Good Prices In Lon
don Today.
London. Sept. 6. Today's sale of
California fruits, comprising 475 cases,
which aixived at Southampton by the
American line steamer farts, late
Wednesday night, drew a large num
ber of dealers to Covent garden. The
prices realized were better than those
obtained at the sale last week, English
and French fruits have become scarce
in the interval.
The fruit sold today consisted of
peaches, pears and plums, in half-cases
and cases. The peaches brought 3s
9d6s per case. One exceptional lot
sold for 6s 9d. The peaches sold today
were packed in trays in which they
kept much better than in the old-style
cases. Half-boxes of pears sold for 3s
to 6s, whole boxes from 5s to 13s 6d.
Plums brought from Is 9d to 6s 3d, one
lot of green gages bringing 8s 3d.

BELOW THE STANDARD.
Gold Reserve Less Than On Hundred
Million Dollars. -
Washington, Sept. 6. A telegram
received at the treasury Btates that $1.-
600,000 in gold had been withdrawn for
export Irom tne subtreasury at New
York. , Some gains, however, were
made at Chicago and other points ag
gregating $186,000, so the true amount
of the reserve at the close of business
was $98,513,529. The cash balance was
8181,577,168.
The treasury officials maintain their
usual reticence on the subject, but
there is no doubt thev were somewhat
disappointed and surprised that the
syndicate permitted the business dav
to ciose witnout making any deposit.
from toe nrst, tne officials have con
tinently believed $100,000,000 was th
lowest point which the syndicate woult
permit the reserve to reach, and henct
their inaction at this time is nol
unaerstooa. mere is, however, nc
alarm felt, Is it is expected the syndi
cate will come to the rescue on the
first sign of uneasiness of the part
the public.
THE DREADED CHOLERA.
Mo Port in This Country is Yet Threat

Washington, Sept. 6. Surgeon-
uenerai wyman, oi tne marine nos-
pital service, says there is no founda

AN UNPRECEDENTED RAINFALL.
Six Inches fell at Independence In Less
Than an Honr.
Kansas Ccty, Sept. 9. Specials to
tne Star indicate that last night s
storm throughout Kansas was far more
severe than at nrst reported. On sev
eral railroads trains have been delayed
for hours, and on some traffic cannot
be resumed for another 24 hours.
At Independence, six inches of water
fell in less than an hour. The streams
are rising rapidly and great damage is
anticipated.
Tne town of tindley, in l offee coun
ty, was struck by a cyclone late yes
terday afternoon ' causing much
damage. . Some of the best business
blocks and residences are reported
wrecked, and several people were in
jured. Telegrapic communication is
cut off.'
At Fredonia the storm was the
heaviest ever known. .Fully 10 inches
of water fell, overflowing the river,
flooding the bottoms and washing out
railroad tracks. The 'Frisco & Paeific
trains are water-bound outside the
city. : '
The town of Neosho Rapids, near
Emporia, suffered severely, as did Em
poria. Twa business houses at Neosho
Rapids were destroyed and ' a -number
of dwellings were carried away.'vNeo?
Bhto river is higher Ui&irSb ho been fo

At Fort Scott the lower part of the
city Is submerged by waters from Mar-
maton river and Mill creek, which are
out of their banks, and the water is
rising rapidly. All trains are tied up
and communication by wire north and
south is completely cut off. The crops
will suner greatly everywhere.
GREAT INTEREST AROUSED.
The Proposed Balloon Trip to the North
Pole.
-New York, Sept. 9. A Herald dis-
LSI VsA UV1U V V HOUiUgWU DWJI?
Considerable interest is being mani
fested here by those interested in
Arctic explorations and in ballooning,
in the proposed attempt of s. A,
Andree to reach the North Pole by
means of an airship. Mr. Andree is
to leave Europe early in 1896, in time
to reach the Norskoarne islands by
June, The start in the balloon from
there is to be made in July on a clear
dav when a brisk southerly wind is
blowing. '
The greatest objection to Mr.
Andree's plan in the opinion of Gen
eral Greely and other Arctic explorers,
is the generally believed inability oi
balloonists to guide their airships.
Mr. Andree's plan claims to obviate
this objection. He has devised a
steering arrangement. Notwithstand
ing Mr. Andree's Ttl&usible reasoning.
Arctic explorers here believe he will
find himself wofully mistaken in such
calculations when he commences the
journey. .
Mr. Andree told General Greely in
London recently he would be accom
panied by two men, and that he ex
pected to reach the pole in 21 days.
When he reaches the pole what will
ha do? Will he wait there until a favor
able breeze blows, or will he continue
over into Asia? What guarantee has
he that the wind when he starts will
obligingly continue to blow from the
south while he goes to the pole?
These are questions which explorers
are asking each other, and they are
all waiting for Mr. Andree to attempt
his plan in order to get an answer.
General Greely was rather inclined
to ridicule Mr. Andree's plan. "I do
not think Mr. Andree's plan will be
successful," he said. "Because there
are so many difficulties he will have to
overcome in order to reach the pole,
and if he does pass over the point
we're all anxious to know about, he
may be unable to land on account of
weather conditions, and any reports
he may bring back will consequently
be of little value."
Engineer- in-cbiei Melville, of the
United States navy, was just as em
phatic in saying that the plan would
be unsuccessful. "While I do not like
to use slang," he said, "I must say Mr.
Andree's plan is a fool scheme, and
that is all there is about it. A fickle
wind will blow Mr. Anbree's airship
around like a feather, and if he escapes
with his life he will be lucky." .
The Oregon Delegation.
Louisville, Ky., Sept. 9. General
Compson arrived this morning with
tbe Oregon delegation to the Grand
Army encampment, accompanied by
W, E. Pulliam. The Oregon head
quarters are established at the Gait
house. The city is crowded with
Grand Army veterans, and everything
is in a blaze of glory, it is conceded
by all to be tbe grandest welcome ever
tendered the Grand Army.

Calumet, Mich. Sept. 7. About 3
o'clock today, fire broke out in the
shaft of the Osceola mine, and, at this
time, it is more than probable that 40
men and bovs have been burned to
death or suffocated. The fire started
in shaft no. 2, which is used to carry
the miners to the ' surface from
the mine. When it broke out, all the
men and boys employed in the mine,
about 200 in number, made a rush for
the shaft in hope of being taken to the
surface. The fire was too rapid for
them, however, and the chance of es
caping by the shaft was entirely cut
off by flames and smoke. The major
ity of the imprisoned miners made a
break for a cross cut, and in that way
managed to reach another shaft from
which they were taken to the - top.
Forty were missing when the roll was
called.
Within a short time after those who
escaped had reached the surface,
smoke began issuing from all the
shafts, and the escape of the men was
entirely cut off. The men in charge
say there is no chance for any of the
men now in the mine to escape: that -
if they are not burned, they must have
been choked by the dense smoke within
a short time. Fortunately, tbe mine
is not as heavily timbered as some of
the mines in this locality, and it will
not take it a great while to burn out.
As it now stands, there is not the
slightest thing that can be done for
the men, and no effort is being made
to extinguish the fire. There is noth
ing known of how the fire originated.
(Jbarles Weare, a drill boy, went to
the bottom of the burning shaft and
told the miners of their danger. They
did not think it was so bad and some
of them came up the ladders to the
17th level, where they thought they
would have time to eat a lunch. They
were there three minutes when the
smoke became intensely dense.
Michael Harrington took out some
matches to relight the candles, which
had gone out, but the oxygin had
been consumed and the candles would
not burn. Groping their way in the
dark, they went up about 200 feet more,
where they lost hope, but one of the
miners, crawling on hands and knees,
reached the bell wire and signaled to
lower the cage. By the sound they
knew it was near, and signaled for it
to stop, then they climbed into it and
rang for the engineer- to hoist. ' They
reached the surface almost suuocateu.

away in the cellar of a house at
Specht's ferry, 12 miles north of here.
Today his son, -whil-TnweiDg-with
a revolver, missed the target, the ball
entering -the cellar and . firing the
dynamite. The house was blown to
splinters and the following persons

Latshaw, skull fractured.
The dead are terribly mangled. A
4-year-old baby narrowly escaped un
hurt. Glass in buildings in the hamlet
was all broken and boats on the op
posite sido of the river were consider
ably damaged. A special train from
Dubuque took physicians to the scene
and brought the wouuded to hospitals
here.
The scene of the explosion is a little
hamlet containing only a hotel, depot,
warehouse and a few shanties. - The

feet deep in the solid rock, wrecking
the building above it and damaging
nearly every other building in the
place. . .

Soung son were found in the wrecked
ouse. The baby girl was lying across
her mother's dead and mutilated body,

body was found 200 yards away. His
head was partly buried in the earth.
The boy who did the shooting was
thrown over the tops of high trees,
faling to the earth a shapeless, unrec
ognizable mass.
In Bprecht's hotel every window" was
shattered and the building otherwise
damaged. The side of the warehouse
caved in and a small building near it
was unroofed. - Barges moored on the
opposite side of the river were so
damaged by the concussion that it is
feared they may sink. Uhe hamlet
has everv appearance
oi being swept

In going through the-wtrter. The con

were much against her. With a calm

says: "The excursion steamers fol-
lowing the yachts behaved even more
disgracefully than usual, but there is
no suggestion that they hampered one
of the boats more than the other.
Perhaps the most disappointing feat

Their Last Night.
The "Octoroon" last night was wit
nessed by a large and appreciative
audience and Miss Lucy fay ton as Zoe
did some very perfect acting. The
frequent, and hearty applause showed
that the play was a taking one and the
acting thoroughly acceptable. This
afternoon (he opera house was filled to
its utmost capacity by the little folks,
"Fanchon, or the Cricket" being the
play that delighted the youngsters.
Tonight the "Gold King," one of the
strongest plays in this company's rep
ertoire, will be given, and as it will be
the last opportunity to see Senter
Payton and his excellent support, the
house will undoubtedly be crowded.
The Dalles appreciates a good show
and will gladly welcome Senter Pay

ever they may see fit to visit us. They
leave tomorrow for Oregon City.
Valkyrie Wins.
The race between the Valkyrie and
the Defender Tuesday was run over
three legs of a triangle, each 10 miles in
length and was won by thy Valkyrie
by 47 seconds. The report of the race
as received here was not full enough
to explain what the trouble was but it
states that at one time the Defender
was two miles behind her rival. There
is no danger, barring accidents, of the
Defender losing as she has proved
herself the better boat. .

H At Horse Steak.
Esst Orcgonimn.
A. W. Nye has returned from Swltz
ler Island with renewed strength and
two stories. One is about the tig ap- .
pies. He gathered a crowd about him
on Main street and related how 'he
picked apples from the trees On Switz
ler Island so large -heooulJ not get
them into bis overcoat pocket. One of
the average ajrwljo;e fnotigh lor
fourmeuto eat at one time. . This
was proyen by producing one of ' '
the apples from th"e pocket of hjs' jack
coat. They are really elegant srjeci- '
mens of the Oregon apple, of lmmnnax
size aud perfect in flavor.
Mr. Wye'e story next told was in
answer to the question asked by m " '
friend: "What makes you look so
well, Ad?" 4
Been eating horse steak." renllm)
the returning tourist. 1 went down -
on the Columbia river and John Swltz-
ler and I were discussing the question -of
eating horse meat. To settle the
question, we killed a yearling colt and
cut up the meat into steaks, roaata and
oouing pieces. As we were doing the ' - -
work, my stomach revolted at the, Idea - .
of eating the queer food, but I went
right on, and finally the first steak was
cooked. Say. friends, it was aa One
meat aa I ever ate. You canitm. toll It .
from good beef steak, and if as good
beef steak were always served, no one "''
would fever kick on that score. . "-
"We ate the colt's meat fried, boiled. -
roasvea, orouea .ana in every - otber
conceivable style, and pronounced it
first-class. When a quarter wan hung
up, no one but so' expert could tell it
from a quarter of beef, and I honestly
believe a butcher - could hang ud a
quarter in his shop and sell it to reg
ular customers, who would never detect
the difference. The grain is fine and
the flavor is just such as would suit an
epicure. .': . . .-; . - . .-
Mr. Nye will send for some of the
meat, invite a few friends to the feast
and demonstrate that Cayuse steaks
are good for a king.

(.-.- f
Although: difficult to believe, It is
nevertheless ' true, that the death of
two half-sisters, " daughters of same
father, occurred 170 years japart. The
grandfather of the British minister,'
Charles James Fox, Sir Stephen Fox, ,
married in 1654, and' had a daughter
born to him in 1055, whqf died in the '
course of the same year.f He had sev
eral other children, whwgrew up aud
married, but all of them died before
their father, and without issue. Sir
Stephen, not wishing his large fortune
to fall into tbe hands of distant rela-'
tives, married again at a very advanced
age, and his youngest daughter was
born in 1727. She reached the age of
98 years, and died in 1825, that is, 170
years after the death of her eldest sis
ter. ' She saw Queen Victoria while
the latter was a child, while her-4utlf
sister was carried In the arms of Oliver ,
