ESCAPED SCALDING TO DEATH.
By the Portunate Bursting of a Tank.
Late XeiTS Items from Various Sources.
PobtiiAxd, July 29. There is no
doubt now regarding the cause of the
nraident to the Southern Pacific south
bound, passenger train near Albany
last night at 9:15. Mr. Srandt, super
intendent, said to The Astorian re
porter to-day that he feels satisfied
that the switch had been tampered
with, probably by tramps. The switch
bar was found to oe uroKen, and tne
nut had been taken off on the fire
man's side of the track. When the
engine ran into the switch it moved
over to the left and let the engine
through. Engineer Jack Miller, his
fireman, E. O. Guthrie, were saved
from being scalded to deatn by tne
escaping steam by the bursting of the
water tank on the tender, allowing a
large supply of qooI water to pour out
upon them. It is thought that this
occurrence is the only thing that
saved their lives.
The engine and tender are not so
badly wrecked as was thought and
will be fixed in a few days. They will
be brought down to the shops at once.
The mail car was smashed up a little.
Beyond the injuries to the engineer
and fireman nobody was hurt to speak
of.
gooding's statement.
Mr.W. E. Gooding, Pat Ellen's
manager to-day made the following
statement of last night's affair "I
went down to Astoria, Sunday and re
turned this morning, and upon read
ing the Oregonian went to Killen's
room, at the Esmond and woke him
up. He said he had had some trouble
with Hart over an old score in St
Paul. Hart threatened to make "gun
play" whereupon Killen slapped him,
and the Coon ran around behind the
bar. He went to bed at one o'clock,
and was perfectly sober. Killen also
stated that he was with no woman, or
was not drunk as reported, neither
did he have any trouble with any
other person. We do not want any
of the best of this report, or worst,
and will appreciate it if j'ou can give
this matter as wide publicity as the
article in the Oregonian"
SENT TO JAIL.
Chiuainan Ah Goon, who attempted
to rob Mrs. Hollawell Saturday night,
was to-day sent to the county jail
in default of $500 bail, to await the
action of the grand jury.
JUSTICE MIIiIjER's RULING.
Washington. July 29. Many of
ficials of the treasury, including act
ing secretary Eatchellor, believe that
the adoption of the attorney-general s
opinion on the transit of Chinese
means the virtual repeal of the exclu
sion law. They admit that the safe
guards established by the circular of
January, 1883. are but flimsy at best,
and that coolies can manage to come
to this country under the tourist's
character, and remain when they are
in. Mr. Isatchellor believes that the
only safeguard the country can now
have would be the detailing of special
treasury agents to accompany each
party of coolies from the time they
enter the country until their depart
ure. This would mean an expendi
ture of probably 100,000 annually. It
is safe to state that if Mr. Batchellor
had had the say the president of the
Southern Pacific or any other road
could not have secured tins permis
sion, for the attorney general s opm
ion would have been held up and not
adopted.
Among politicians here the matter
is being discussed, and fears are felt as
to its influence on the coming elec
tions in the northwest, and especially
as to Washington territory, where the
anti-Chinese feeling runs high.
judge Hepburn's opinion.
Judge Hepburn, solicitor of the
treasury, in discussing the question,
says: "Up to about two years ago
there was no question about the right
of the Chinese to pass through the
country in the manner suggested by
the decision, and now the old order
will be restored. The Southern Pa
cific railroad company has been the
chief mover in the case, one of its
attorneys, Mr. Tweed, arguing the
matter before the treasury department
and the department of justice. The
precedent has been set and hereafter
Chinamen who desire to pass through
the country without sojourning any
where on the way will be allowed to
enter Uncle Sam's domain."
CANADLVN ANNEXATION.
Washington, July 29. Senator
Wade Hampton, who has just re
turned from a long visit to Canada,
says: ''The annexation question be
tween Canada and the United States
is one that is being seriously" consid
ered by the Canadian authorities. It
is conceded by them that there must
be some kind of settlement of the
question in the near future, either by
commercial union or by a reciprocity
treaty, so as to bind tne two coun
tries into a closer and more liberal
business association. To put off such
an agreement will only increase the
friction engendered by the fisheries
and. transportation question. But the
Catholic element, mainly composed of
French andhalf-breeds, will strongly
oppose any annexation scheme wat
ever that is likely to bring the prov
inces or states into the i ederal union."
He also says the Canadians are well
posted on the fisheries question and
are favorable to Mr. Bayard s treaty
proposition; and tiiat it any serious
complication grew out of that ques
tion the New England Republican
senators will be to blame.
northern tacifc bonds placed.
New York, JulyO. Dow, Jones &
Co.'s circular staterthat the new S15,-
000,000 Northern Pacific collateral
trust has been placed in Berlin, pro-
vaueu me stocKnoiaers aumonze mem.
Also, that 10,000,000 of the above
amount may be used to take up tlie
6 per cent, bonds, for which the
Northern Pacific is responsible.
THE BOND STORY DENTED.
New York, July 29. Parties acting
with Villard for Berlin banking inter
ests in the Northern Pacific say the
report that 15,000,000 collateral has
been placed for the company in Ber
lin is nonsense. As to what disposi
tion may be made of the procceeds of
the loan when authorized, it would,
they say, be premature to say any
thing now, although a part may ulti
mately be used to retire 6 per cent, of
the bonds.
THE BEER SYNDICATE.
Paterson, July 29. An English
syndicate has purchased five or six
breweries here. The price is 2,380,

Philadelphia, July 29. John C.

purposes.

A Shutter and a Moral.
During change hour yesterday a
shutter slowlly and carefuly carried by
two men, was borne into the exchange
hall, followed by Commodore Gutte.
This unwonted spectacle drew all
members around the commodore and
every one looked for the man that is
naturally supposed to go with a shut
ter, but every one appeared perfect
sober. The shutter was placed, gently
against one of the Corinthian columns
that adorn the room, and the crowd
eagerly inspected the relic, for it was
a relic of the Seattle fire. In its prime,
adorned with gaudy paint, it had pro
tected a window in ryes opera
house, Seattle. When that city was
recently a mass of flames the same
shutter battled nobly to protect its
charge, as the record seared on its sur
face shows. Built of wood and en
cased in tin, it held on when an iron
shutter would have curled up with the
heat and deserted its post. The un
derwriters claim that had this shutter
been carefully built according to the
instruction issued by the inspection
bureau, it would have 4been better
than new" after the fire. This his
toric window covering now leans
against the pillar, a disreputable look
ing affair, like the awful example of a
temperance lecturer, and the lesson it
teaches is one that should be kept
well in mind: It is, don't let your
building stand next to one on lire,
but if you do, see that the wiudows
and doors are well protected by shut
ters of wood sheathed in tin. They
are the safest.- S. F. Comm. News. '
