Eastern papers are noting the faot that
the bj stem ot brigandage known as "tip
ping bas been worse than ever at the
resorts this summer. In many hotels a
bell boy does not expect to move for less
than 10 csnta, aud as you are likely to
employ a different boy every time, you

other gentlemen do, you would soon find
them all right. I understand you have

A few days ago Joseph Rychards, a
fourteen-year-old Wilkesbarre, (Pa.,) boy
was driving a mule in the Murray shaft
there when a train of five loaded cars
ran away and came down the plane.
The cars struck the boy with terrible
force and drove him against the mule,
the boys head was driven entirely into
the mule's abdomen. Tbe youth's shoul

was necessary to extricate him. The
boy's head penetrated the stomach of the
mule. Tbe boy was taken heme for
dead, but revived somewhat, though his
skull is fraotured and he will probably
die. The mule died almost immediately
after tbe accident.

A machine has been invented for print
ing postal cards from tbe roll and to
turn them out packed in bundles of 25.
Ic prints tbe cards at the rate of three
hundred a minute in the UBiial way, by
means of a rotary press. A set of knives
then cuts the cards off and drops them
four abreast into little cells especially
prepared for tbem. When 25 cards have
dropped out, a set ot steel fingers turns
the , pack over, twines a paper baud
about it and pastes it together. The
paokages are oanght in an endless belt
of buckets, whioh carry them into an

A dispatch from Seattle, dated Sept.
12, eays, G. A. Bonier, proprietor of a
laundry in this oity, was shot and killed
to-day by G. A. Kline, a former employe
of the laundry, because Basler refused
to pay' him wages amounting to $300.
Kline went to the laundry this afternoon,
and after heated words with Basler, he
whipped out big six-hooter and ibot
Basler three times, instantly killing him.
Basler, though a young man, has had
considerable' domestic troubles, being
twice divorced. Both bis wives are still
living, one at Bed Bluff, California, and
the other at Scratnenti. The body will
be sent to tbe latter city for burial.
Kline tent quietly to the authorities
aud gave himself up, and since i.e bas
refused to say a word.
Rumors as tu tbe oanses of tbe tragedy
are many and various, tbe most likely
being to tbe effeot that Basler, since his
difficulty with his last wife, baa been
living with a young girl ot a neighbor,
and this, with other actions, made Kline

and bas a brother who is oity editor of

because of the standing iu the com

A visit to the jail failed to elioit a
single word from the murderer, save that
he had been instructed by oounoil to
keep silent. Officers Bay that when
approaohed the jail and saw tbe iron
bars of the door he grew pale and tears
filled bis eyes. Other prisoners in the
jail say Kline has hardly spoken a word
since he was brought to jail. He stands
against the wall and looks into spaoe.
At the time of the shooting Carl Bas
ler, brother of the murdered man, came
rushing into the room, when Kline ex
claimed: "Here I am, boys. Take me
and hang or shoot me." No one moving
toward him, he said he would go and sur

' A convict in the penitentiary at Salem,
named O'Brien, sentenoed from Linn
oounty for one year for larceny, while at
work in the foundry on the afternoon of
Sept. 12, suddenly sat down and began
whistling. When the guard approached
and asked him what was tbe matter, be
kept on whistling, and when he was
taken to the prison, before the warden,
he still whistled, and he has whistled al
most continuously ever siuoe. Superin
tendeut Downing to-day approached the
fellow, and after much questioning and
patient endurance of his oonoert, he
elicted from him that he desired to Bee
his mother. Beyond that nothing could
be gotten from him. To-morrow he
will be turned loose in the prison oorri
dor, with a pair of handcuffs on, for the
purpose of ascertaining what turn the
wliiatlinto freak will take. The fellow is
either crazy, or is undertaking a shrowd
dodge to shirk work iu the foundry.
Some parties from Yaqnina Bay have
sent to this oity a s a serpent, a devil
fish, aud some other curiosities of the
briny deep. The thing oalled a sea ser
pent when stretched out is nbout six or
eight feet loug and resembles a snake or
lizard, except its head, which looks more
like that of a seal. The serpent is au
ugly looking fellow, calculated to pro
duce a shudder on the part of those ho
aee it, and to produce bad dreams for a
week. The curiositios will probubly be
plaoed on exhibition at the state fair.
