but tlie -a reck oE the Oregon express !

tardly work of murderous tramps.
Immediately after daylight this morn
ing a tour of inspection was made and
it was found that a rail on the west
side of tho track had been torn up.
Tho "rail was found lying on the oppo
site sido of tho trestle and the spikes
had been drawn from the ties.
"Although we have notyet had timo
to make a critical investigation," said
Superintendent Fields, uwe shall do
so at once, I am convinced that the
wreck was caused by tramps or some
ouc else taking up the rail, for in no
other way could the accident have oc
curred." So far nothing has been decided
us to tho burial of the dead. These
details will be planned after the in
quests are held.
Four people wero instantly killed.
They were Johu McFadden, the en
gineer of the train, who lived in East
Portland, and who leaves a widow and
two small children; Tim Neal, tho
fireman, who resided, with his brother
in East Portland; S. iVToulton, a
young man who recently came to Port
land from the Sound, and was en
route to San Francisco; and an un
known mau who had beaten his way
on the train as a tramp.

East Portland this morning, a Mr.
O. Greibel of Milwaukee, a drummer
for the Yal Blatz Brewing Company,
died, having beeu unconscions ever

The injured were cared for as well
as possible under tho circumstances,

Thurman's Speech.
Special by Tho United Thess.!
CoiiTJiiBUS, Ohio, Nov. 13. The
Thurman birthday banquet was a
most brilliant affair. Nothing like it
has ever been seen in Ohio. The
14th Begiment armory was trans
formed into a fairyland. The rafters
of its ceiling and its whitewashed
walls were hidden from view by thou
sands of yards of bright colored bunt
ing, silken flags and banners. The
orchestra was hidden from view in a
mass of foliage which was in turn sur
rounded by a curtain of smilax.
At tho southern end of tho hall.
upon the platform, which was heaped
with palms and roses in bloom, were
crayon portraits of ex-President
Cleveland and Mr. Thurman. It was
shortly after 8 o'clock when the cheer
ing from tlie crowd, which had gath
ered on the outside, announced the
arrival of the distinguished guests,
and when ex Senator Thurman, with
President John J. Lentz of the Thur
man club appeared upon tho scene
closely followed by ex-President
Cleveland and Senator Dougherty,
the cheerinjr was heartv and pro
longed.
It was after 10 o'clock when Presi
dent Lentz rapped for order and pro
posed the teast: "Our Guest."
Mr. Thurman v, as greeted with up
roarious applanse, which lasted for
several moments.
"I am here," said the old Boman, "to
express in a fow sentences my heart
felt appreciation of tho honor jon
have so kindly seen fit to do me; to
thank, with my whole soul, my neigh
bors, my fellow-citizens of Ohio, and
the distinguished gentlemen from
other states, for these marks of friend
ship aud esteem. I am here
at tho ago of seventy-seven years
to repeat my testimony so often
given, ot my confidence in the be
neficence and the results of freo insti
tutions and my belief of their dura
tion on the continent and their grad
nal but certain extension over thd
other and larger portions of the globe.
I hope that it is not presnmption in
me to say that I think that I have
some of tho necessary qualifications
of a witness on this subject.
"Short as my life has been, in com
parison with the lives of nations, it has
been long enough for me to see my
native land under free institutions,
increase in population more than
7,000,000; wealth in a far, a very far,
greater degree; in extent of territory,
more than doubling its area general
well-being and prosperity off,its peoplo
and in their educational advantages
and religions privileges, and without
a rival in the world, with its magnifi
cent works of improvement; its won
derful agriculture, its great mines and
manufactories and its marvelous
means of communication, creations of
science and skill, surpass anything be
fore known by the human race and in
these same "seventy-seven years tho
constitution of nearly every govern
ment in Europe has been ameliorated
by tho introduction of more liberal
principles.
"Central and South America have
become republics; Canada and Aus
tralia are substantially republics with
out the name, and even iu the far
East, Oriental Japan, becomes more
free and liberal with every revolving
year, and moro marvellous yet light
seems to be breaking over benighted
Africa and men of sanguine and phil
osophic disposition arc predicting,
without exciting ridicule, her redemp
tion from her barbarous sleep oE cen
turies." Mr. Thurman spoko also at length,
of the coming freedom of other
countries.
