therefor to their own satisfaction.
All theories are formed on the basis
that the switch was partly opened,
but no one is able to explain how
it happened to be left that way. A
south-bound freight passed down
the switch track and backed-down
the main track to the depot, and
then pulled out of the station over
the main track just an hour before
the arrival of the passenger. Section
Foreman Prunty, who passed the
switch about thirty minutes before
the express arrived, declares the
track was in the natural position
and the switch closed. This decla
ration adds to the mystery. How
ever, the switch is what is termed
a "split-rail" switch, and the
slightest irregularity in its placing
would easily cause a derailment.
The speed of thirty-rive miles per
hour, at which the train was ap
proaching the station, and the re
sult of the vigorous application of
the air brakes by Engineer White,
which was so severe that a ma
jority of the shoes were torn from
the train for its entire length, is
thought by some to have forced the
switch entirely open. The fact re
mains, however, that the switch
was not locked as it should have
been upon the departure of all
trains and the lock of the switch
has not yet been found.
Wreckage from the main track
was cleared away at an early hour
Sunday morning and trains re-
corn can
planted late, and therefore enables
the farmer to grow and store away
an enormous amount of green fod
der when the drouth has injured
the early crop.

A dispatch from Butte, Montana,
says that a new and wonderful
natural cave, believed to be one of
the largest known has been dis
covered in the canyon of the Jeffer
son on the line of the Northern Pa
cific Railway about fifty miles east
of Butte. An exploring party from
Butte spent several days in the
cave, going over an area often
miles, and to a depth of nearly one
thousand feet. A large river, with
a cataract of about one hundred
feet was explored for a distance of
several miles, without discovering
its source or outlet. A few articles
of stone and copper utensils and
some bones, believed to be human,
were also found in one of the large
apartments of the cave. There
were other evidences that at some
time in a prehistoric period the
cave was inhabited. It is be
lieved that an earthquake closed
the entrance to the cave and killed
its inhabitants. The stalactites

which carried to Portland the re
mains of Engineer White and Fire
man Fish. Engineer White had
been in the employ of the Southern
Pacific Company for about twenty
eight years, and although he had
figured in numerous accidents, he
escaped all without serious injury.
He was the last engineer to pass
over the Lake Labish trestle before
the collapse of the structure in 1890.

A NEW BIBLE.
Episcopal Committee Will
plete its Work Today.
Corn-
New York, Dec. 6. A new
Bible, authorized by the late Gen
eral Convention in San Francisco,
to be read in all Episcopal Churches
in the United States, has been in
process of completion by the com
mittee on marginal readings which
has sat at the Episcopal General
Seminary in this city since last
Tuesday, and will conclude its
work tomorrow (Saturday), says
the Tiines. It was stated that an
English firm had undertaken the
publication of this Bible without
expense to the committee.
The new Bible is to consist of
the text and renderings of the King
Tames version, the renderings of
the English revision and the render-
ngs of the recent American revision.
The renderings of the Episcopal
Commission are ordered to be
printed in an appendix for preservation.
The late convention, while it
praised the scholarship of its com
mission, did not place their work
upon the same level ns that of re
isers who had included lay
scholars and who had spent many
more years at the work, besides
being far larger in numbers. The
new Bible insures the very latest
renderings, although the reading
ot tnera is permissive only, not ob-
