THE FOULEST CRIME.
The Durrant case drags aiong
lowly, but day by day the state's at
torney Is drawing the net tighter
around the defendant, and the testi
. mony tending to show his guilt is
lowly but steadily accumulating. It
haa been shown that the testimony of
the school girls that they saw Blanche
Lamont get on- a street car with
stranger on that fatal 3d of April, and
that they identified Durrant as that
stranger is correct. The testimony of
the venerable Mrs. Crosset settles
. that. She swears that on the 3d of
April she rode on that car with Dur
,' rant; that she got off the car at the
- same time he and the school girl ac
; companylng him did, and that on
reaching1 the sidewalk he introduced
- the girl .to. her as Miss Blanche La
. mont. This was less than two hours
before the time when Organist King
saw Durrant when he came down from
' the belfry of Emanuel church, where
the body of the poor - girl was after
wards found. The venerable lady says
that at the time she could not help but
- notice Durrani's actions. She knew
him well, and her impression was that
he had been drinking. His eyes were
- bloodshot, and she observed a flip
pancy in his manner that was unusual
in him. She inquired when she ar
rived home if "Theo" had taken to
drinking. An hour, or an hour and a
half, after her meeting with Durrant
'he was seen by King coming down
.'from the belfry, gasping for breath
staggering, horrified. He said he had
. '- been fixing the gas pipes and had been
overcome by the gas, and. sent for
: bottle 0 bromo-seltzer a nerve tonic
That night at a meeting in the church
; he asked Mrs. Vogel, with whom
Blanche lived, if she, .Blanche, was
' not coming to the meeting. He had
never inquired concerning Blanche
: before. He persistently denied having
Been or been with Blanche Lamont on
the 3d of April, but now bis attorneys
. admit that he was with her, but that
he left her on the car. He was the
' last person seen with her. He was
seen to leave the car with her, to go to
the church with her, and from that
time until the murdered body of Ma
mie Kelley was found in the library of
the-church two weeks later her face
was unknown. Then a systematic
search revealed the body of the miss
Ing Blanche Lamont. in the belfry of
the church the belfry from which the
organist, King, saw Durrant come
staggering and overcome the evening
the girl disappeared. It was a horri
ble crime, and a fiend from hell might
. well have come eraspiner and horror-
st.iilrAn fwiYTi ft.a vwnmf afilnn. W hAn
the murderer's cruel hands closed
round the slender throat of the inno
cent and defenseless girl; when with
the strength of despair she struggled
for her virtue and her life, as her torn
clothing shows she did struggle, and
when at last her slender .strength
' yielded to the brutal clutch upon her
throat and she sank limp and lifeless
to the floor when after all this the
vile brute insulted the dead and unre
sisting body, and clambered down,
down from the gloom, from the horror
he had left behind, and stood where
once more the light of God's sunshine
smote him as rods of steel, no wonder
that he ' gasped for breath, and sank
almost fainting- on the floor. : How
memory must have conjured up the
picture of that fair young face that
but an hour before had smiled at him!
How every motion of that supple body,
every glance, every word that dropped j
from those confiding lips must have
risen up to torture him with the vision
of that lifeless thing from which he
had just fled, and whose soul alone
had escaped his defiling touch. And
yet after this, we are are told this
fiend repeated his crime, and took the
life of another innocent child. We
confess that it is impossible for us to
believe that aught in human shape
could have gone through a second ex
perience like that, willingly; hence
cannot bring ourself to believe that
' the same hand committed both mur
: ders. The cunning shown in the first
murder was entirely lacking in the
second. In the case of Blanche La-
mont, the murderer showed the cun
mng of a madman. The body was so
disposed of as to have practically de
fied detection. The clothing was hid
den in nooks and corners in such
manner that it took hours for the busy
searchers . to unearth them. In the
second murder there was no attempt
whatever at concealment. Had the
same person killed Mamie Kelley that
murdered Blanche Lamont, would not
he have adopted the same method of
hiding the body? If he carried the
body of Blanche Lamont up the steep
' stairway of the belfry, why did he not
also carry the lighter, body of little
Mamie Kelley up the same stairway?
"We believe Durrant murdered Blanche
Lamont, but does it seem possible that
he could have committed the other
crime? And yet, if he is guilty, as we
believe him to be, he cannot be meas
ured by anything possessing human
attributes. The testimony of wit
nesses, the model of the belfry, nay
even the touch of the dead girl's gar
ments as they were carried by him,
never caused a tremor, the movement
of a muscle, or the drooping of an eye
lid of that cold and impassive face.
If he is guilty of both murders then
indeed has the bottomless pit yielded
Its foulest fiend to show the human
form soulless, incarnate, damned.

Yesterday's Salem Statesman con
tained a half column article headed
"The Beautiful Hog," and on the same
page a poetical contribution entitled
iJeautiful Hocr." Evidently the
Statesman has ceased to be riled at
the allusions made concerning the
Capitol city, and as that paper is per
sistently singing Salem's praises, it
evidently thinks there is nothing in a
name, and sings just the same, even
on the once tender subject of "The
Salem Hog."
The city recorder was kept busy last
nignt, court, being open until i o clock

kind unlawful. All but one of those

Major Buck, of Elgin, has published
a circular asking for information con
cerning J. E. Marsh, who disappeared
the night of September 18. His friends
believe he wandered off in a dazed con

upon the fact that he complained of

news of him in great suspense, Marsh

General iraue throughout the United
States shows further improvement this
week, more particulary in manufactur
ing and commercial lines in the east
and south. In South Atlantic, Gulf
and Southwestern states and on the
Pacific coast, general trade has been
increasing in volume, with improving
mercantile collections and goods sell
ing with less effort in many instances.
In support of favorable influencing
conditions are thi9 week's heavily in
creasing total of bank clearings; the
largest week's aggregate of wheat ex
ports within three months: the heavi
est week's shipments of Indian corn in
17 months; the maintenance at its full
proportions of the extraordinarily
neavy demand lor iron and steel, and
the significant hardening of leading
money markets, accompanied by re
ports of increasing mercantile dis
counts. -
Price tendencies this week are more
favorable from the holders' point of
view, advances having been recorded
in wheat, corn and oats, after a pro
longed reaction in wheat, flour, raw
ano reuned sugar, coffee, cotton goods,
leatner and turpentine. A special in
quiry by Bradstreet's into prices for
more than 100 staple products show
that in the second quarter of the cur
rent caiendaryear there were advances
in quotations, Ob; no change, 17, and
lower price, zo.

bushels one year ago, 4,727,000 busheis
two years ago and 3,811,000 bushels in
the same week in 1892. New York and
Montreal and the Pacific coast shipped
more freely. The exports of Indian
corn aggregate 1,645,000 bushels this
week, twice what was sent out last
week, a much larger qunntitv than in
the like week in proceeding years, and
tne neaviest week's total since April,
noon were dismissed. This action was
taken on the recommendation of At
torney B. S. Huntington, who appeared
for the city, and who was not satisfied
with the wording of the ordinance.
A new ordinance will be prepared,
and then the same issue will be
brought up. Besides this, yesterday
one drunk and disorderly was up
contributing $5 towards the expenses
of running the city. This morning
five drunks were on hand who were
fined $5 each. An Indian who wanted
some of the Whiteman's joj was fined
10 which he promptly paid realizing
that he had had his money's worth.
Five hoboes came next, but were dis
charged on their promise of leaving
the city. On top of this array came a
man named Douglas, who was arrested
on complaint of some Chinese mer
chants, who accused hin of trying to
rob their store. Taking all in all it
was a good lively day.
Where They Raised Perfect Apples.
The Enterprise is in receipt of the
prospectus of the annual horticultural
fair that will be held at Hood River on
Friday and Saturday, October 4th and
5th. This fair is condncted and man
aged by the fruit raisers of Hood River
valley and the business men of Hood
River. It is distinctly a fruit fair, and
the exhibits made attract the wonder
and admiration of people from the east
as well as those from the Willamette
valley, whore a perfect apple is almost
a curiosity. This fair has done much
to bring into prominence the wonder
ful capabilities of the Hood River val
ley as a fruit raiser district, and to call
attention of the dealers to the fine
quality of fruit that the valley can
send out. The success of such a fair
as the Hood River people hold is an in
dication of the push and energy that
characterize the people of that section,
and it will accrue to their advantage in
more ways than one. Oregon City
Enterprise.
The Arabian Nights.
The Home Dramatic Club will put
this sparkling comedy on the stage
Friday evening next. The announce
ment that our local troupe is to appear
is always a sufficient guaranty of a full
house and an enthusiastic audience.
On this occasion, however, a better
play than ever will be presented in a
much better manner. For ten days
the rehearsals have been under the
direction of Miss Essie Tittell, the
Portland favorite, wbo has brought
the skill of the professional to the aid
or the natural talent of our amateurs,
and the result will be manifest in a
smoother running play- We have not
yet learned the cast of characters, but
will publish it in full in a day or so.
Don't forget the night, or the Arabian
Tvights either, but secure your seats
early, or stand up.
A Big: Ditch.

R. Tucker, secretary of the East Fork
Irrigating Canal Co., were in the city

building. The head gate has been put
in and about 60 rods of the ditch com
pleted. The ditch will- be six feet
wide on the bottom, twelve feet on top,
four feet deep and will carry 5000
inches of water. The water is taken
from the East Fork of Hood River,
about a quarter of a mile above the
bridge across that stream on the road
to Mt. Hood. It will follow around
the foothills on the east side of the
river and supply water for all the east
Bide. The company expect to have the
ditch done next spring as active work
will be begun at once.

time I visited Seattle, in the language
of a well-known American statesman,
"black and smoking ruins marked the
places which were once the habitation
of her sons." Four years have cleared
the debris from the streets, and now
large business blocks, six and seven,
stories of solid brick, add to the
substantial appearance of the place. It
is truly the Queen City of the sound,
if not of the Northwest.
The secret of Seattle's success lies in
a few elements possessed by the citi
zens in a remarkable degree. First,
tnere nas Deen an lniusion of new
blood enterprising, plucky and
thrifty. There are no moss-backs
here; but men of generous impulses
ana lioerai ideas regarding growth
and development. If a proiect is con
sidered beneficial to the city, it is un-
aertaKen ana pushed to completion
Everybody believes in Seattle and
works for Seattle. There are no fac
tions, and the old motto, "One and
all," is fully carried out. This alone
would insure success, but there are
other elements at work worthy of
notice.
beattle is a great commercial point.
I'uget sound nas Deen properly denom
mated the Mediterranean of the west
ern continent. It would afford 9afe
anchorage for the merchant vessels and
the navies of the world, it is a safe,
land-locked harbor, ihis citv is ad
vantageously situated to command the
greater portion of the trade of the
sound, and this sho has now and will
undoubtedly retain in the future. The
coal fields tributary to Seattle are al
most inexhaustable, and are sufficient
to support a great growth. Then the
timber resources have hardly been
touched, and the lumber is of the best
quality, and finds ready sale in the
markets of the world. Aside from
these there are iron and silver mines
which will add to Seattle s wealth.
There is no doubt of the future
growth of the city. Her population
and business will constantly increase,
and the dream of her citizens of some
day witnessing the Chicago of the

not have the wealth of Portland; but
she has more enterprise, no moss-
backs, and richer natural resources.
The prosperity of beattle insurses
the growth of suburban towns, chief
among which is Ballard, five miles
distant on Salmon bay. This is the
Lowell of Washington, and there are
already in operation about a dozen
lumber and shingle mills, spring bed
factory, creosote works and steel
works. It has a larger pay roll than
Seattle, and is constantly augmenting
new industries. Ballard has a sepa
rate municipal government from Se
attle, owns her electric plant and
water works, has two newspapers,
seven churches, three fine school
houses, and boasts of 6000 population.
She has a bright future, and in a few
years will be a beehive of industry
Among former residents of The
Dalles whom I have met here are the
following: Hon. F. A. McDonald, as
Bistant collector of customs; Win.
Floyd, Stacey Shown, Mr. and Mrs,
James M. Smith and family, R. Shank,
formerly book-keeper for Filloon

Testing; the Parrot Engine.
A test of Elijah Parrott's new rotary
engine was made last Monday, at the
planing mill, in this city. It did not,
however, work very satisfactorily.
owing to a lack of steam power. There
were other difficulties, too, in the way
of a fair test. The engine was too
near the main shaft; the belt was too
short, etc. While under motion one
of the belts slipped off the pully, and
as there is one on each side of the
engine, It jerked it out of place and
sadly deranged the machinery of the
motor. A readjustment of some of the
fixtures is now going on and another
lest is expected today, or next Mondey.
However, Mr. Parrott has concluded
not to allow spectators to be present
at the test, as they are continually in
the way. Agriculturist.
