N0II? DOWN TO WORK
The Contract Has Been Accept
ed by the Committee.
THEY WILL SIGbl IT MONDAY.
Great Things in Stoic for Astoria
Says Mr. Hannnoiid-Work to
Bepin at Once.
The railroad question la virtually set
tled, at least in so far as ejy differ
ences there might have been between
Mr. Hammond and the subsidy com
mittee of twenty-one. Three meetings
were held yesberday and at the after
noon meeting Mr. Hammond present
ed his amended contract, and It was
read to the committee nd afberwards
thoroughly discussed by them. Before
the contract was signed the subsidy
committee members seemed at sea re.
pardlng just what air. Hammond re
quired of them in the matter of guar,
anteelng the right of way and subsidy.
They discussed the plan, as suggested
ytsterday, of incorporating a guaran
tee subsidy and right of way company,
with a capital stock of $100,000, said
company to receive sutecrlpitlons from
every responsible man In town if pos
sible. The Idea was for this company
to guarantee Mr. Hammond the right
of way as requested, and furnish a
clear title to the sufbsldy deeds. When
Mr. Hammond presented Wimself at the
meeting this plan wa-s made known to
him. He thought 'the guarantee com
pany was a good thing, and that the
right of way could perhaps be pur
chased for half the amount of th
capital stock proposed; yet he would
prefer to take the names of a few
of Astoria's best business men and
property holders, and they could take
the guarantee company.
When the committee read the con
tract over and saw that dts provisions
It they Btgned, really bound them to
guarantee Just wh;it Mr. Hammond
had been talking rcu, 4 was smooth
sailing and It did not take them long
to decide to sign. it. It was agreed
that a meeting would be held on Mon
day, at wihlch time the contract would
be signed. Several members who are
going out of town itoday will sign It
before they go. The changes from the
original contract are really slight. Mr.
Hammond is not required to spend
any specified amount per month; he
has three years to complete the con
tract; the subsidy, or at least 95 per
cent Is guaranteed to be clear and wl'th
perfect title; he Is to have a clear
right of way from the west end of a
draw bridge to be built on Young's
bay, thence to Goble. Tnere are a few
other minor changes tout not Import
ant. Mr. Hammond agrees to com
mence work at once, and to keep it
up without stop, until tne welcome
itjund of the locomotive whistle Is
hoard in Astoriia. He will start en
gineers out at once over the line, who
will work In conjunction with the com
mittee to tie appointed to secure the
right of way. This It Is thought, will
take about six weeks, and then dirt
will fly. In the meantime a great deal
of work remains to be done in the
way of securing new deeds, abstracts,
etc.
Mr. Hammond was feeling In the
best of spirits last night, and a great
strain hail been removed from his
mind. He promises the people of As
toria a surprise "before ithey are many
months older, and Is here to work with
them for the upbuilding of the city.
He goes to Portland tomorrow night
and frm there to Corvallis to look
after Oregon Paciilc affairs. He will
return here In about a week.
DENVER SNOWED UNDER.
The Fiercest Bnow Storm Since that of
1894.
Denver, March 30. Thfe snow and
wind storm continued all day with un.
abated fury. It Is the worst Btorm
since the memorable storm of March
1S.'j4, which conitlnued for three days.
Heavy thunder and vivid flashes of
Hghtning accompanied this storm, a
feature not usual at this season. The
velocity of the wind Just before day
break was terrinc, and tout for a heavy
wet snow which served to hold things
in their places, much damage would
no doubt have been done. Alt 6:30 the
wind was blowing at the rate of 4S
miles per hour, tout It slowly decreased
until noon, when it registered 34 miles.
A gable of the Columbian school house
was blown down. Stones weighing 35
pounds were blown over thirty feet
while heavy toloeks lav piled up over
0 fe?t from the "building. Tramway
and cable companies are having great
difficulty 1n moving their cars, and
many of the street railway lines are
blocked.
At 8 p. m. the snow was about a foot
deep in this city, and It Is toadly drift
ed. Durln? the early part of the day
trains on the rallrrrails east and west
were running on time, but the night
trains are con.ild-ably delayed and
If the Htorm continues much, longer a
trtneral tilockvle will occur. The storm
Is f.reeptlinally severe In Western Col
ora lo. 0!scrver Rrandenhurg says the
storm will ate lirr1nr the night and
cokler weather will follow.

RUNAWAY TROLLY
Three Persons Killed, Twelve
Seriously Injured.
PASSE.NQERS PANIC STRICKEN.
Brakes Refused to Work and the
Car Flow Down the Grade a
Mile a Minute.
Associated Press.
Jeansvllle, Pa,, March 30. Three ped

hurtbaTtd of the woman who was killed;
Maggie Herrity, of Beaver Meadow;
three children of (Mrs. Evans; Hannah
Somen), of Beaver Meadow; Morrii
Hughes, of Wl'lkeslbarre. .
The accident was the worst In the
history of trolley car roads In this vl
clnity, and was due In part to a panic
among the plaasengers, who crowded
about the conductor and grlpman on
the unmanageable car.' As it passed
on to the grade leading down the
mountain, Grlpman Kelts applied the
brakes, but the dhaln snapped. He then
threw the safety lever. This refused to
woik, and the terrified motor man
sprang to t-iq reverse brake, hoping to
control the car toy the current. Failing
to control the car lie Bhoutcd to Con
ductor Socks to apply the rear brake.
His shouts caused a panic and the
passengers made a rush for the plat
form.. The car was going down tha
mountain at a mile a minute. The
conductor shouted to the passengers to
go back, so he might apply the brake,
but was not heeded. The passengers
then Jumped for their lives.
A BIG DEFTCIT.
Watfhlngiton, March 30. Contrary to
the expectations of the officials of tha
treasury, the receipts for the month of
March will again fall below the ex
penditures. The amount, however, Is
crtly about $234,000. The exiess of ex
penditures for nine months of the pres
ent fiscal year are $3ti,500,UOO, and this
amount will almost certainly be In
creased by $5,000,000 during April,
which will leave a deficit of about $42,
000,000 on May 1st. During May and
June, however, great things are ex
pected from the income tax, btu the
most conservative estimate now places
the deficit for the fiscal year at $25,000,
000. The outlook for heavy receipts
froia two great sources of Income,
the customs and Internal revenue, are
not encouraging, particularly from tne
lattw.

Ths Associated Press Ner.-s Contain
In ths Afternoon Report.
Sacramento, March 00. The' north,
bound Oregon Express was held up
by two men three or four miles north
of Wheatland about 2 o'clock this
morning. Engineer Bowsher was com
pelled to stop the train and go back
and open the express car. Falling to
secure anything In the express car tlie
robbers went back and started to rob
the passengers in the coach and smok
er. Sheriff Bogard, of Tehama county,
was on the train and oiened tiro on
the robbers in the smoker, killing one
of them, and was himself killed by tlie
other robber. Ths fireman was shot in
the neck and one leg, and la thought
to be severely Injured. A passenger
named Banuon. lrf RcHUlng, ws
struck on the head and cut. (Several
passengers Were robbed. The dead
toodten were turned over to the coroner
at Marysvllle. The dead robber lias
not 'been Idon tided, and no accurate
description of the man who escaped
has toeen secured.
Fireman A. Nethercott was serious'!
and possibly fatally Injured, having
received two wounds on different part
of his body. The ilrsrt Intimation that
the engineer and fireman had of the
presence of the robbers was when ens
ollmbed from th blind baggage atut
commanded at the point of a pi.stol
that the train be stoptwd. When the
stop was made they commanded thm
to move about one hundred feet fur.

and with others who arypcRred fo rnf

they demanded '.hat the express ..1'

This was done, but the roWieis could
find nothing of any value as the sat?
oomWnatlon was not In the hands of
the messenger. Then the robbers coin,
mamled the two railroad men to g.
Into tlte cars. They toad the leg ol
an old pair of overalls tied at one end,
and as they went through the car they
made the passengers put their coin and
valuables In it, the fireman being t!t
custodian and guard behind which
they stood. The colored porter In tlio
tourist car became aware that a rob
bery was In progress, and knowlnit
that Sheriff Hogard was in a berth

and armed with his heavy revolver,
started for the north door.
He crossed the platform between ths
sleeper and the day coach, and as he
entered the latter at ths south door,
the robbers came In from tha north
The sheriff steiied to one side, aimed
and fired. His bullet dropped the man
nearest him, but the seniond fit-lied ta
reach the target. One of the roll.r
must have seen Bogard enter, anil
Jumped down, and running ulomrHhU
the car, entered and shot Win in the

When the robber was shot (he ex
claimed "I am done for." others ask
