make the oration. The G. A. K. had

At Arlington, where 15,000 are in

large crowd was present Congress
man Win. E. Mason, of Illinois, was
tho orator aud in the course of his re
marks he .severely criticised the scene
at Richmond yesterday. In speaking
of it, he said.
"There is one note of warning, how
ever, that' on must let me utter at
this lime. I must earnestly protest
against the occurrences in that fair
southern city, at the unveiling of
General Lee's statue yesterday.
Let them honor the memory
ol that true and virtuous man
if they will, but lei me say
thai the broad sky over our couutry,
is broad enough only for one flag, and
that the Stars and Stripes, and when
a man waves any other, he is in his
heart as much a traitor as he was
thirty j ears ago. Do not misunder
stand, brethren, but I would
be false to the memory of many
brave men who lie around us
heie, if I did not protest at this first
occasion 1 have had, against the act of
men avIio flaunt flags of secession in
the fce of the boys in blue, who
fought so nobly for their country. If
there is a boy in gray lying in this
cemetery, let us decorate his grave, as
that of a man who was brave and
who lost his life in a cause ho thought
was right, but let no one wave over
Ins grave, that Hag that was a symbol
of insult to the bos in blue."

were massed in trout ; veterans
and civic societies follewed: over
forty bands were interspersed
through the procession which
although the men marched twelve
abreast, reached a distance of three
mites. Special trains bronght 50,000

however, and there was little confu
sion. Ex-president Hayes, presideut
of the Garfield memorial association,
made the opening speech, and tho ora

were at once dispatched to the scene of

vast assemblage, going to tho scene of
the disaster. Aid has been sent from

is believed her father and mother arc

Oaklvnd, Calf.,May 30. -A reporter
just from Hie scene of tho accident
learned that the number drowned was
1 1 all teld: that six had been saved: it
is not known how many were in the
car when it went into the creek.
The correct story of what is ono of
the most disastrous railroad accidents
on the Pacific coast is as follews:
The local train which left San
Francisco for Oakland at 1:15 p. m.
went into the Oakland creek off
Webster street bridge owing to what
now appears to have been the care
lessness ot bridge tender Jjuuiap.
He had opened the draw to permit a
vacht to pass, but failed sis far as is
known to stop the approaching traiu.
The bridge was within its own width
or being closed when tho engine
reached the end of the approach and
dashed over it into the creek, followed
by oue passenger car. Both engine
aiul car were completely sub
merged as the tide was at
nearly full Hood. Engineer Dunn,
as he'neared the edge ot the bridge
saw the danger, blew the whistle of
warning and went down with his
machine. Fireman O'Brien was res
cued, but was injured badly. Quickly
as possible the submerged car was
raised, and the living rescued and the
dead removed. The engine is still
under the water. Another car passed
half way over the bridge approach,
but was "held back by the weight of the
rear portion of the train, and nono
who were in it are believed to have
been injured. The conductor of the
ill-fated train was Ed. Revalk, who
escaped uninjured. The rescue of the
passengers was largely effected by row
boats, which were soon on the bcene.
Conductor Revalk, in an interview,
said the car that was bubmerged was
a combination one, and he thought it
would hold about forty-eight people.
Said he, I do not know any of the
peoplo who were in that coach; there
are now thirteen bodies at the morgue,
four women and nine meu."
James Dnnlap, who was tending the
bridge at the time of the accident, was
found in a very nucoinmunicativc
mood. He said: " "I was in charge at
the time and had just opened the draw
to allow the yacht Juniata to pass
through. I was in the act ot moving
the draw back into place when the up
train from San Francisco came along
and that is all I kuow about it" He
declined to have anything further to
say in regard to the matter.
F. F. Finley, of San Francisco, was
a passenger on the ill-
rated train aud he tells a
graphic story of the disaster: "Wo
left the city on the train for Alameda
ou the narrow gauge, I was seated on
tho front seat on the first car facing
tlie engine. All went well until just
as we were approaching the draw
bridge crossing the San Antonia
creek. As wo drew near the bridge
it seemed to me that the bridge was
open and I was naturally on the alert.
All of a sudden I saw that I was right;
that tho bridge was out of place and a
fearful accident was inevitable. Just
then a man jumped from the engine
iuto the water, and then came a crash,
Horrible crashing ot timber and snap
ping of heavy iron work
followed, and at once consternation
prevailed, in the car. The next thing
I knew the car was in the water, and
I found nivselt blindly groping for the
door, which I fortunately reached and
j opened. When I found myself on the
platform I gradually worked my way
by climbing and holding to the front
of the car, to the roof, which I had
just reached when that end of the car
rose ont of the water, and quite a
number of people escaped in this
manner, principally women and chil
dren. The car was about two-thirds
fnllwhen we left the wharf, and 1
should judge that there were at least
from twenty-five to thirty people in it
There was a dreadful outcry when the
car began to fill, but this was almost
immediately hushed in one light final
wail of despair. I was very fortunate
in escaping with slight injuries to my
shonlder and several cuts in my head.
I am a married man and have a family
at San Francisco."
Miss Mary H. Austin, ot San Fran
cisco, who escaped from the wreck,
but whose father and sister were
drowned, savs: "I was seated on the
left side of the car with my father and
sister: in the seat behind my father
was Henry S. Austin, of Austin,
0Conuor& Phelps, iron merchants,
San Francisco. When the car went
into the water people screamed and
tried to get near the top of the car.
I clung to my sister until the force
ot the water separated us. A man in
the f rout seat broke the window with
his fist and I was losing conscious
ness when rescued. How I got out of
the windowldon'tknowjldon't kuow
how longl was under the water. I held
my breath as long as T could. My
father and sister are still in the water.
I'm sure there is no hope for them,
thev have been under the water so
long. Oh, it was so quick! Thero
wero mostly men in the car and a few
children.'
Following are the names of those
drowned who have been identified up
to eight o clock this evening: Engineer
Dunn of the train: Captaiu John
Dwyer, Sacramento; .7. R. Irwin,
Singer sewing machine agent, Oak
land; R R. Robinson, West Oakland;
W. R. Willituns, San Francisco; II. P.
Auld, Honolulu; L. Maletesa, San
Francisco; Mrs. Byron O'Conner, San
Francbco; M. nallersick, Japanese:
Mrs. Kirnan, San Franscisco; H.
Austin aud daughter, San Francisco.
Among the injured were Mrs. P. H.
Look and Mrs. J. H. Cooper, injuries
slight Conductor Revalk, of the
train, cannot recall how many were in
the coach, but believes that fully
twenty-five persons including children
have perished. Nothing, definite, how
ever, can be stated in regard to this
yet All that is positively known is
the number of Ixtdies recovered, and
those who escaped.
Placing the Responsibility.
San Fransclsco, May 30. Closer
examination of the facts which led to
this serious disaster lead to the con
clusion that the unfortunate engineer
ot the train who is among the dead
was the ono principally if not alto
gether to blame. This is based on the
fact that the danger flag was found
within a minute after the WTeck in a
position indicating that it had been
properly placed by tho bridge tender;
and had beeu knocked down when the
crash came. This leads to the
assumption that tho engineer saw tlie
Hag, but as tho bridge was in the act
of closing, that he thonght it would
not reach the bridge before it had
fully closed

The other night, as the 5 o'clock

Centralia News, an old man stepped,
off and commenced to industrioaaly
circulate small printed pieces of paper
among the crowd which always gathers
to witness the unloading of the new
arrivals to our city. A young man
with considerable curiosity forced bis

According to'tho Olympia Tribune,
the officers and crews of the steamers
piying between Tacoma and Olympia
are on the lookout for an immense oc
topus or devil fish, which is reported
to exist in the waters between the
mouth of the Nesqually river and Hen
derson's inlet The monster has been
seen at various times for a week past,
and steps are being quietly taken to
capture it The men on the steamers
are very backward in speaking of it,
they fearing that others will attempt
to capture tne prize. When last seen
it was lying on the water, vigorously
splashing one of its thousand tails and
looked to weigh at least 500 pounds.
It measures from tip to tip, as nearly
as nearly as can be estimated, fully
fifty feet Such a fish is unusual in
these waters. Its peculiarity is a sort
of deafening roar, which it makes in
quick succession.
J. C. Bewley, of Bay City, says the
Monmouth correspondent of the
Statesman, brought to this place
Thursday and presented to Professor
Doughty for the Normal cabinet of
collections a gun that was formerly
owned by Chief Kilches, the last chief
of the Tillamook Indians. The wea
pon is a double barrelled shotgun and
does not look very old. One would
suppose it to be thirty or forty years
old, but it bears no mark or figure and
may be much older. The barrels are
very long and apparently of good ma
terial, about the size of No. 12 gun of
modern make, and must have cost a
handsome price in its day. Tradition
says Chief Kilches killed a great many
Indians in his day in protecting the
whites, as he was a friendly Indian.
Mr. Bewley says the gun has a rery
interesting history, which he will send
as soon as he gets home. He also
brought over a mortar and pestle
whiohwere hewed from solid stone,
and a large number of arrow heads of
many forms and sizes. Mr. Bewleys
donation makes a valuable addition to
the collection at the Normal cabinet
and one much appreciated.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi
vidual. Such a remarkable event la

that so much is heard in praise otElec

their restoration to health to the use of
