THE PITTSRUP.C FIRE.
Pittsbcp.o, Aug. 13. The big fire
of last night was entirely under con
tiol at 3:30 this'Mftrning. but the en
gines are still plirJing on the ruins.
The buildings entirely destroyed were
the Masonic temple, Hamilton block,
Campbell Sr Dick's carpet warehouse,
and a number of tenament houses.
The upper iloois of Schmed Sc Fri
day's magnificent nine-story struc
ture were gutted aud the balance of
the buildings water soaked. The
Di.sjmlri zmAPiuh? Pa buildings
were badly damaged by water. Noth
ing definite about the loss is yet
known, but to-night'.s estimate of
$1,000,000 is not exaggerated.
RESULT OF CARELESSNESS.
The latest investigation shows that
the fire originated in the carpet store
of H. Holfzmau, located in the cel
lar of the Masonic temple. It is said
that a small party of gentlemen were
sitting in the upholstering depart
ment of Holtzman's establishment
when one of them lighted a cigar and
thoughtlessly threw the lighted
match into a waste basket. The con
tents of the basket were of
an inflammable character and iu a
few moments the entire room was
in a blaze. Efforts were at once
made to extinguish the llames, but
the light material burned so rapidly
that the fire was soon beyond con
trol. THE CHAT.SWOETII HORROR'.
Chicago, Aug. 13. A special from
Chatsworth to day to the Chicago
Eccniny Nars sas: Althongh up
to the present, the dead, including
the body taken from the wreck last
uight, number not more thau seventy
five, there is reasonable room for
the belief that there have been other
deaths perhaps half-a-dozen re
sulting from the tragedy which can
not defimtelv be reported owing to the
confusion and lack of system when
the bodies are being taken away.
Neither can a full list be presented
to the public in the case of scores
whose injuries were light enough to
permij, them to take the trains at
Chatsworth or Piper Uit' at the nrst
opportunity and return home. The
official list of the wounded who have
been taken care of here aud at Piper
City does not at present show any
more than one hundred victims, but"
there is no doubt whatever that mauy
more than that have been injured.
The coroner's inquest adjourned till
Tuesday afternoon after one witness
had been examined. He was W. G.
Messier, grain dealer at Chatsworth.
The only thing noticeable about his
evidence was the statement that al
though he was one of the first at work
and rcmaiued there until the arrival
of the relief train he saw no inter
ference by anybody of any of the
valuables of the victims.

THE KLATSKANIE TRAGEDY.
Story of the Woman "YIio3Iatle tlieTronlde.
Kegarding the recent murder at
McGraw's Landing, Mrs. De Jonr-
nette tells the Neia the following
stery:
"In 1874, at the age of 20, I met
William Sattler here in Portland and
were married. "We moved to Klats
kauie shortly afterward!, and con
tinued to reside there until the spring
of 1881, when I came to Portland and
my husband went to Ualitornia. It
was our intention to effect a final sep
aration. While living here I met
William De Jonrnette, and we be
came very much attached to each
other. My husband came back in
the fall and by hi3 consent I got a
divorce and then married De Jonr
nette. "We lived here in Portland nn
til a year ago this spring, when Ihy
husband concluded to move to Klats
kanine, partly because our little girl's
health demanded a change, and part
ly because he could get steady work
at making shiugles on the place of
William Sattler, my former husband.
We had been there but a short time
when this man Upton came there and
went to work in the shingle mill with
my husband. To tell the truth I was
disappointed with my incessant pov
erty and longed to live as other
women live and as every womau
wants to live. I had not the pleas
ures of a good, well-provided home,
as my husband was a poor manager,
though he doubtless did as well a3
he could. At this time Upton be
came very attentive toward me, but I
attributed it to a feeling ot kindly
pity that I supposed he felt toward
me. He was -always very good to my
little girl, whose age is now only
seven years, and seemed to never tire
of fondling her. I had no idea that
he was in love with me, neither did I
care for him. Somehow he found
out that I wauted a different home,
and one day he broached the snbject
to me of leaving my husband, and
going to my sister who lives in Texas.
At that time I scorned the idea, and
would not listen to him, but as time
went on, aud the utter hopelessness
of my situation grew upon me, and
seeing that my little girl must grow
up in ignorance and rags if T staid
there, I agreed to leave and go to my
sister. 1 had S3G when I left home,
which Sam Upton said would take
me to Texas. When I gpt to Port
land, Upton coming with me, I found
that he had shipped my trunk and
clothing to Seattle. He then per
suaded me to go to Seattle and stop
with his sister till he could get mora
money, when he would send me to
Texas. So I went over, and when I
got there he told me that he intend
ed to kill my little girl to get her out
of the way, and that if I objected he
would kill me. This was the first
evidence ot violence he ever exhibited
toward me. He watched me so close
ly that I could not turn round with
out his seeing me. I managed to
write to my husband, begging
him to take me back. He
sent me some money, and get
ting away, I returned to Portland,
where my husband met me, and we
got rooms, and went to housekeeping.
I had begun to think we were rid of
Upton, when one night he came into
the sitting room, and said he would
cut my throat if he could find a razor
He then grabbed me, but being afraid
T might call tho neighbors ho went
awny. -All this time my husband -was
in the adjoining room, bnt he was so
afraid of Upton that he would not
come out. Next day 1 had Upton ar
rested for trying to kill me. He lay
in jail six weeks, and when the d.iy
for trial came I was away from home,
and did not kuow he was to be tried
then, so, by my not appearing in
court, he was released. That evening
I met him on the street, and he came
up to me aud, shaking his fist iu my
face, said: "Damn you, I kill you
all yet" We then, to get away from
him, moved again to Klatskauiue.
Once more I thought he had conclud
ed to let us alone, when, Saturday
night, just as we were sitting down
to supper, Upton came to the house
aud began quarreling with Mr. Do
Journetto. Mr. Sattler then said:
"Well, if yon want to have a row,
you must get off my place." My
husband went out into another room,
and Untou swore that he had come
there to kill tho whole family aud
then kill himself. My husband then
came into the room, when Upton
pulled his revolver aud shot him in
the side, then he tnrued and fired
two shots at Sattler, who fell to the
floor. Turning to my husband he
discharged the other two shots at
him, one of them striking him in the
head, just over and behind the ear,
killing him instautly. When my
husband fell dead, I rau with my
little girl, and Upton, loading his
pistol, followed me, and, catching me
bj the wrist, dragged me back to the.
house over the brush aud stones, and,
holding my right hand in-his left
placed his pistol to my head. I
begged him not to kill me, but he
said he intended to end my life right
there. I begged him not to kill "my
little girl, but he said : 'I come here
to kill you all, and then kill myself.
I will kill your little girl so she can
go with you." Then he pulled the
trigger, but the revolver woald not
go, and, after vainly trying to shoot
me, he said to Sattler: "Will yon
take care of the girl if I don't shoot
her? I am going to kill the woman,
but the girl is too young and inno
cent." Sattler said: "Yes, I'll take
care of her; bnt why do you want to
kill the woman? if you love her you
will not kill her." This course of
reasoning had its effect, for Upton
said: "Well, if you will swear to
marry me, and will swear that Sattler
killed De dournette, I will not kill
you." I answered that I would swear
to anything he wished to save my
life. He then turned to Sattler and
said: "I am sorry I shot you for you
are a harmless old man, and, by God,
I would give a thousand dollars it I
had not killed him" pointing to my
dead husband. He then washed Set
tler's wounds and went and dressed
my husband washed his face and
combed his hair, and laid out the
body upon a broad board in the usual
manner. Having done this, he hast-
ened away to tell the neighbors about
it, and sent a docter: to see Sattler,
and then he fled, no one knows
where."
fn Brief, irl to the Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. It is easily
pnt out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular nauits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made tho American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's Angnst Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business, and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember: No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottle. Seventy-five cents.

Narrow Escape of 3Ir. Billing.
About this time of year people are
having high times on the ocean
beaches bathing in the breakers, and
many ludicrous things occur. At 11
waco's North beach last Sunday a
largn number of Portlaud people
strolled along the sands just as Mrs.
B. took a souse tip and down she
was not nn expert swimmer and it
was noticed that surrounding her the
water took on varied colors.
'The dye is coming out of that
gown," said one.i
"I should say so.'' screamed an
other; "why, she'll dye us all."
"Never say- dye,u" said a third;
"rather, will she, the 'multitudinons
seas incarnadine.' "
Bnt here she stopped, for oneof
the red splashe3 landed on her white
suit, and it was seen that a figure had
come off intact.
"Why Mrs. Billings," some one
cried, "those patterns were just stuck
on!"
Here some one caught hold of the
dress. It turned a soft mass in her
hand. , -
"Oh, heavens!'' yelled Mrs. B., "It's
washing off!"
"Squat down iu the water T'screamed
one.
"Fetch au umbrella!"
"Bring a barrel!"
"Who's drowning?" snug out Dun
can De Witt De Wolf, the swell man
of the parly, dashing in among them.
You can't imagine what an excite
ment there was. Those on the shore
levelled their Glasses, and every one
in the water swam up. There was
Billings all but -melted into pulp.
De Witt De Wolf ran up to the bath
house aud got one of the old blue
jeans tilings they rent for twenty-five
cents to the nie'n, and poor Mrs. Bill
ings got into it and scuttled out of
the water as soon as she could. Gobs
of that Japan esedreai were washed
ashore, and mosteveryonehad a little
red and green worsted ball that came
off the scallops to keep as a souvenir
of the event. Xhio Japanese stuff
was made of pap.er, it seems, and be
gan to resolve itself tho minute it
was wet into the pulp it was origin
ally composed of. It was a narrow
escape for Mrs. Billings. Heppner
