Terrible Accident to a Party of Picnick-ers-Th- e Upper Deck of a Barge Gives Way Crashing to Death Twelve Excursion- ists and Wounding Several More-Terr- ific Wind Storm. j Mineola, L. I., Aug. 12. The em- ployes of Theodore Kaiser, Graham ave- nue, Brooklyn, went on an excursion to Laurelton grove. Cold Spring harbor to- day, on the steamer Crystal Stream and barge Republic. There were 800 people crowded together on the upper -- deck of the barge. They were just clear- ing the dock to return to Brooklyn when the vessel was struck by a heavy squall and dashed against the deck in the midst of a a terrible thunder storm. The boat hands, anticipating a shower, let down the canvas curtains which are attached to the hurricane deck of the barge and fastened them down to the port side. This prevented the wind from blowing throagh, and as one strong gust struck the barge it lifted the starboard side of the deck from its fast- ening and forced the top over to the port side. As it pushed over to the end of the deck nearest the dock, to which the barge was 'fastened, it dropped down on hundreds of women and children, who had crowded over to that side of the barge in an effnrt to escape. In a moment the air was rent with the screams and agonizing cries of the vic- tims whose lives were being crushed and their limbs broken. The officers, deckhands and other men on the steamer which had the barge in tow lost no time in reaching the barge and doing all in their power to rescue all they .could from the wreck. It had been hoped that none were killed, but the lifeless bodies of fourteen were seen lying near the gunwale. All had their Uvea crashed out by being caught be- tween the edge of the fallen deck and guard rails, women children, and even strong men wept piteously as they '. looked upou the dead or dying. Of the dead bodies those recognized were as follows : Lizzie Jchamant, Mrs. Pauline Prinz, F. -- Hoffman, Minnie Goetz, Mrs. Lipenfinger, Kate Kautz, Robert Scbuler, Amelia Landgraft, Mary Schaff, Minnie Schaullein, Annie Voltz, Amelia Wagner, Emma Weil and Louis Krntz. The pilot of the barge, whose name could not be ascertained, - was also killed. , Among the injured' are: Charles Held, Mrs. Henry Issleniann, Mrs. Zerman. The wounded were carefully carried aboard the steamer, which con- veyed them to Oyster Bay village, a dis- tance of six miles, where they were attended by physicians. The bodies of the dead were laid on the deck of the barge to await the arrival of the ' cor- oner. The place where the accident occurred is at the head of Cold Spring harbor, and is a favorite picknicking ground. Many of the excursionists can ried home with them pieces of the ts, which show they were per fectly rotten at the core, ana tne uarge itself.it is said, is unsafe in other par ticulars. New York, Aug. 13. The excitement over yesterday's Tbarge disaster at Cold springs grove still continues toaay in Brooklyn. The corrected list places the number of killed at twelve. .. R18SELI. LOWELL'S DEATH- - It Cannes Much GrltfAmon; His Friends and Associates Boston, Aug. 13. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes is much affected by the death of his life long friend, James Russell Lowell, although, as he says, he knew it ' was coming for a long time. He clined to talk on the subject for publica tion. A Loss to the American Public: Newbuky Pobt, Mass., Aug. 13. John Greenleaf Whittier was much shocked to hear of Lowell's death. "Too bad, too had!" he said. "It is indeed a great loss to American letters and to tne world." Tennyson's Tribute to Lowell. London, Aug. 13. Many telegrams from Englishmen prominent in litera ture, dramatic and other walks of life, have been received at this city, express ing sorrow and deep regret at the death of Lowell. Among the telegrams re- ceived this morning is one from Baron Tennyson, the aged poet. The message says : "England and America will mourn Lowell's death. They loved him and he loved them. Pray express for myself :and mine our deepest sympathy witn Lowells family." To Unite Both Bides of the Party. " 2&mw Yobk, Aug. 13. An interesting ' llt of political gosip In connection with the meeting of the democratic committee wm that Albany county democrats had wiped out their anti-Hi- ll county organ ization. The nomination of D. Cady Herick for the supreme court bench and .his certain election will prevent him from continuing in the party leadership, and this fact is to be utilized to unite both sides of the party under the leader- ship of Hugh Riley, whom Governor Hill recently appointed to succeed the late William L. Miller, as judge of the court of claims. It is understood the ticket arranged is as follows: For governor, Roswell P.- - Flower, for lieut- enant governor, William F. Sbeehan, of Buffalo.

A Prominent Memphis Citizen it t hlor oformetl and Koblietl In a Hotel. Memphis, Tenn., Aig. 13. R. M. Fraysier, president of the Security and Memphis city banks, secretary of the Memphis City Railway and principal owner of the Public Ledger, and one of the most prominent and wealthy citizens of Memphis, was this afternoon chloro formed and robbed at the Gayoso hotel, by a man asserting he was John A. Mor ris, of New Orleans. Morris engaged a reom at the hotel, sent for Fraysier, who went to the hotel. After a talk regard ing a matter on which Morris asked in formation, the latter asked the other to take a drink. Mr. Fraysier drained a glass. Turning to face Morris, the latter pulled two revolvers saying : "1 am a desperate man. 1 have no money and my family in New Orleans is destitute. I must have cash. Yon in- dorse a check for $5000. Fraysier argued the matter. " The par- ties finally compromised by Frayier indorsing the check. Hoping the cash- ier at the bank would suspect something wrong and refuse to cash it, he indorsed the check P. D. Frauzier, an unusual indorsement. His checks are usually indorsed P. Dndley Fraysier. Morris then chloroformed Fraysier and sent a bell boy to the bank for the money. This evening cries of "Murder, thieves," were beard issuing from the room. The door was burst open and Fraysier was found unconscious, his watch, $50 and some valuables he had about him were gone. The check was on the table, pay- ment at the bank having been refused. Morris' whereabouts are unknown. OOOIt RETURNS REPORTED. Harvesting and Mining: Flourishing Central Point. Central Point, Aug. 14. Harvesting is progressing rapidly and headers are at work on all sides. Five threshing ma chines are running in this vicinity. The returns show good yields with a big average. The damage from rust and smut is very small. Peaches are being shipped to northern point at a lively rate. The watermelon season was in- augurated by the shipment of one car on the 7th by" George A. Jackson. Mr. 01 well made a small shipment on the 10th. The former has sixty acres in melons and Mr. Olwell about fifteen. A big enterprise is nearing completion whereby the Rogue river will be turned into a new channel for a distance of several miles and the bed mined. - The ground has been thoroughly prospected and shows up in good shape. All the mines of this section have taken a new lease of life- since Dr. Breden's stamp mill has been turning out rich. number of new locations have been made and development work is the order of the dav. The third annual district fair, to be held here the week beginning September 21, promises to surpass all previous ef- forts. The fine crops of nil kinds will greatly aid the directors.

The most terrific windstorm that ever passed over this section of Minnesota, struck Ellsworth yesterday afternoon and left the town a complete wreck. The Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota . elevator was completely blown to pieces. The Con- gregational church was partially blown down. Dwellings and the Burlington depot suffered great damage. Fortu- nately no lives were lost. There is not a building in the village that is not dam- aged. The loss will reach $25,0U0. HaU as Big as Goose Eggs. Lake Benton, Minn., Aug. 14. This place was visited yesterday by a destruc- tive hail storm in the country. Every- thing in the shape of uncut grain in the path of the storm was annihilated. A terrible rain and hail storm passed over Fulda, Minn. Hail larger than goose eggs poured down for half an hour, breaking hundreds of windows and stripping leaves and small branches from trees. Farmers report corn and flax badly damaged. Most of the wheat. oats and barley had been cut ; what was standing will not be one-thir- d of the crop. OUR POSTAGE . RAILWAY. The Dalles Company's Proposition favorably Beeelved. In- - Portland, Aug. 14. The Evening Telegram prints today a series of inter views with individual members of the chamber of commerce who express them selves unfavorable to the proposition made by The Dalles and DesChutes Railway and Navigation . company to construct a portage road on the Oregon side of the Columbia. They think the road should be built bv the chamber of commerce and believe it can be built at a less figure than $250,000. They also think tliat if built by the chamber of commerce there will not be so much probability of the road ever coming un- der the control of competing lines. No Trouble Getting Return Papers. New Yobk, Aug. 13. The Herald quotes a Chinaman as saying that many of the Chinamen who are carried in bond by the Southern Pacific from San Fran- cisco to New Orleans, on their way to Cuba, find little trouble in returning to the United States. To the Chinese con- sul at Havana they say they have lived in the United States and wish to return. He gives them -- the proper papers and the United States consul recognizes them, having no means to disprove their statements. A Disastrous Cloudburst.

An Extensive Operator of St. Louis Fails. Had too Many Contracts on Hand. Other Xews. Chicago, Aug. 15. December wheat opened with a continuance of yester- day's wild scenes. Strong cables con- tinue to effect the market. Those" who sold wheat around to 6 yesterday think- ing the culmination was reached, rushed into the pit to cover at any terms. Or- ders from New York and St. for shorts came pouring in, and altogether there was a wild scene and all sorts of prices bid and accepted. In different parts of the pit at the same time, within two minutes after the bell tapped all the way between 1.01Jg1.02Jg with some trades possibly at 1.03 paid. A flood of selling orders caused a to 1.01?4". There was a rally to 1 .02, another break to 1.01k. and an advance to 1.02... When at about l.OlJg another bull wave swept over the wheat pit, and amid in- describable scenes of excitement the price was put up by halves and quarters to within three minutes. This bulge was understood as the result of buying in for account on shorts who failed to respond to ;argin calls. When these wants were satisfied there was a quick reaction to 1.03?i and at 10 :30 the price was 1 .048'. After 10 :30 the furor subsided somewhat, at least for a time, and fluctuations were narrow. Then another advance set in and prices' rose to 1.09 about 11 o'clock. Ten min utes later it dropped to 1.08. Other markets were lost sight of in the excite- ment in wheat. The excitement today in wheat cannot be ascribed to any one thing. It sympa- thizes with a world agitation on the question of breadstuff's. Including rye and wheat all foreign markets are excitedly higher and America is the only country which has full crops and couuts on profiting by European and Asiatic scarcity. This in brief seems to be the sentiment prevalent on the board nere. as the session drew toward a close, traders were desirous of evening up their trades and the consequence was that from the extreme high point of $1.09 the market broke off to $1.05?. There was afterwards a slight rally and wheat closed unsettled; cash ll.OTig 41.073a-- ; Sept., $1.04?$1.05; Dec., $1.06. The Nebraska Eiglit-Ilo- ur Law. Dexveb, Colo., Aug. District assem- bly No. 83, Knights of Labor, which took in all the employes of the Union Pacific system, has taken action regard- ing the Nebraska eight-ho- ur which at present is causing trouble in Omaha and other cities. The following tele- gram has been sent to Omaha, Grand Island, and North Plafte: "becion lo ot the agreement is a con tract as to working time. It is still in force, having been made prior to the eight-ho- ur law, which, under the con- stitution, it cannot abrogate, The law is thus inoperative on Union Pacific shop employes, because of the contract. In honor we are bound to recognize the contract, unfortunate as ii appears, until it can be modified by the parties to it. The good faith of the organiza- tion should be considered in this matter." GONE TO THE WALL. An Extensive Exchange Oderator of St. Louts Fails. . St. Louis, Aug. 15. The failure of John Thyson an extensive operator on the exchange was announced after the dose of the exchange today. "I do not know how I stand," said Thyson, "the trouble with me was I had too many contracts on band and I fell in the gap, When I find out how I stand the matter will be straightened out." Thyson is one of the most prominent traders on the exchange and his failure rnd big bulge in prices may pull down a few others. The German Grain Market. Berlin, Aug. 15. The grain market here is very excited. Rye for August delivery which closed at 249 marks, is quoted at 260 marks. August wheat ad vanced 14 marks and 50 pfennings from yesterday's closing price, now being 244 marks. The North German Gazette the official organ of the government today, says, the government will resolutely ad- here to its decision to make no reduc- tion in the duties levied upon grain im- ported into Germany. The government is now held responsible for the advance in prices in the grain market. Worse Than at First Reported. St. Clocd, Minn., Aug. 15. The storm proves to have been more serious than at first supposed. All corn and standing grain in its path is utterly ruined. In some places hail is fifteen to twenty inches deep on a level. No con- servative estimate can be made of the damage but it is heavy. The Report Favorable. St. Paul, Aug. 15. George Mulier, who issued the alliance wheat circular says; "Ve received replies from the secretaries of the alliance in southern Minnesota, South Dakota, AVisconsin and Kansas all telling us the alliance voted favorably on the suggestion. Not an unfavorable answer was received." The Journeymen Stonecutters. Cleveland, Aug. 13.

The exciting scenes in wheat and corn which char- - acterized trading the latter part of last week was renewed at the opening of the j board of trade this morning. Trading was just as wildly nervous as it was j Saturday. The bull fever is still on this morning and trades inflamed with the prospect of higher prices, as a result of excited higher cables, when the hell tapped for the opening of business, at once became a pandemouium from which came these figures for December wheat inside of ten minutes at 1.13. This was the top figure on the early bulge. Then prices began to weaken and at 10 o'clock had declined to 1.073. A bulge to 1.13 was accompanied by the wildest excitement and some sales are reported as high as 1.14. The succeed ing period of weakness was the result of free selling by both longs and shorts, Conservative traders on both sides are satisfied the prices are too high for safety and far above the export basis, and they must be brought together before a bene fit on foreign shortage on which the boom was founded can be realized. The consequence of this was that prices reacted until l.Oo was reached, that be ing the lowest point this morning, reacted to 1.07, sold off to 1.0G. At o'clock it was comparatively quiet 1.00. Wheat continued weak and 12:15 December was quoted at 1.03. THE WHEAT OUTLOOK. at The Promises or Big Yield are More Than Fulfilled. St. Paul, Aug. 17. Harvesting well under way all over the northwest and the promises of a big yield are more than fulfilled. Wheat averages from twentv-fiv- e to thirty bushels to the acre and the increased yield from in creased acreages makes 150,000,000 bush els minimum, the product of the two Dakotas and Minnesota. Other grains are close to wheat, oats especially turn ing out. well. Great trouble is exper ienced in procuring labor to handle the immense crop, and the railroads are hard at work preparing to handle the grain. Lack of storage facilities will compel the great majority of farmers dispose of their grain soon, and trans portation facilities will be taxed to their utmost. The weather for harvesting is all that could be desired. THE SAFE WOULD NOT OPEN. A Salem Bank Had Trouble In Getting at Their Funds. Salem, Or., Aug., 14. Two and a half weeks ago the safe in Ladd & Bush's bank here refused to open, and since that time experts have been laboring with it. Both the time lock gnd combi nation refused to operate. After sixteen days' steady drilling the safe was opened today, over 100 drills having len broken and a dozen worn out in the operation. In the safe was over $125,- - 000. Wheat today moved up to seventy-fiv- e cents, the best price 'paid here for some time. The new crop is beginning to come in lively and the second big mill will be in operation next week. This evening, at Turner, Ira Adams started out on a ehort hunting expedi tion, and as he was getting over a fence, set his gun down on the ground, barrel up. His foot slipped and struck the hammer, discharging the weapon. He received the load m his left wrist, which will have to be amputated. The Artist and the Poodle. A certain portrait painter in this city who has acquired quite a reputation as an artist, was complimented on his life- like work. "Yes," he said, "I suppose it is creditable now, but was not always so. I remember the first job I ever had, A wealthy lady came to see me and wanted her full length painted. I did the best I could, but that was nothing to brag of. When the lady came to look at the picture she gave a cry of disap- pointment. 'Why, that's not at all like me,' she said ; 'I shall not' take it !' "I '.ssured her it was a perfect like- ness, and declared that even her little poodle would recognize it. 'I'm willing to take that risk,' she said, 'I'll bring my dog with me this afternoon, and if he recognizes me I'll take the picture.' Later in the day she brought in the canine, and the sagacious little animal after surveying the portrait for a mom- ent, ran up and licked the painted hand. My lady took the picture without any further objections. "But the likeness must have been strik- ing," I said, "to deceive the dog." "Not necessarily," said the artist; "I took the precaution of rubbing a piece of bologna sausage over the hand before the dog arrived." Welcome. Accidentally Drowned. Fbesno, Cal., Aug. 16. News has been received here this evening of the acci- dental death by drowning of W. J. Simpson, well and favorably known here. Simpson, in company with his brother-in-la- W. J. Perry, left Sanger this afternoon on the way to their homes at Big Dry creek, where Simpson is pro- prietor of the wayside store. . After leav- ing Sanger they s'topped at Church canal to take a bath. The water was running full head, and while bathing Simpson was taken with cramps and disappeared before Perry could render any assistance. A messenger was dispatched to shut off the water at the headgate, as the body has not yet been recovered. Simpson was about 28 years of age and leaves a widow and two children. An Old Man's Crime. Gavlobd, Mich., Aug. 30. A. W. Wilcox, living two miles east of here, aged 70, this afternoon split open the skull oi his granddaughter, Mrs. West, and then committed suicide by shooting him&elf with a revolver. Before shoot ing himself he took a dose of Paris green. lie was angered at ins granddaughter, because she, who had been keeping house for him, was going away.

MALICIOUSLY MISREPRESENTED, over two years ago, bnt little importance Tool In rll Uru'linsror 7C " 1'nat. !' rn.-es- It 1 at a to " j and Union f- - Advertiser of late date there appeared a series of interviews which re- porters of these journals had with one J. M. McMasters, who lately owned a half interest in the Dufur rolling mills and who is not unknown to several peo- ple in The Dalles. The interviews are the product of a seemingly bitter and disappointed man. They abound in reck- less statements about the resources of the three states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, which, coming from one who professes to know every foot of the northwest are calculated to make a false impression especially when published in journals of established reputation. .The attention of Major G. W. Ingalls,,. who has for some time been engaged on this coast as a special correspondent of sev- eral papers in California and the east, having been called to these misrepre- sentations, he has volunteered to give them a partial contradiction, in a letter addressed to a personal friend, in the city of Rochester, who will doubtless see that it is published where it will do most good. Major Ingalls has kindly placed a copy of the letter at our disposal which reads as follows : The Dalles, Ob., August 11th, 1891. Geo. Burlingame, Esq., Rochester, N. Y. Dear Sib : My attention was this day called to the articles published in the Post Express, of your city, regarding Seufert Bros.' vineyard and orchard of this place. I showed these articles to Mr. F. A. Seufert who read the same and he authorized me to make the fol- lowing statement: The Seufert Bros. have been at The Dalles for the past eleven years. The first four years they were successfully engaged in buying and shipping fruit, and sold out their good will for $1,600. Since selling out the fruit buying and shipping business they have continuously engaged in the rais- ing and shipping of fruit, generally to eastern markets. Their fruits have frequently come in competition with California fruits and yet have never suffered from such competition; but often their fruits have commanded higher prices than those of California, Montana, Idaho and Dakota when laid side bv side. Onecase in point : Messrs. Seufert Bros. had expressed 200 boxes of Bartlct Pears to Butte, Montana; the charges and box- ing costing $1.75 each. They telegraphed buyers there to bid on the lot. $3.50 per box was offered. Refused and wired back that they would take $4.25 per box and their offer was taken. California pears were in that market then. The Fish statement of Mr. McMasters, Mr. Seufert said was entirely false and that part of their business had always been very profitable.' They further said they knew of the defunct Tenino Packing com- pany, and that it had little or no capital when it began business, and the mana ger wasted by dissolute habits a little money put into it by a worthy citizen here. That because of his vile habits he lost the confidence of all who did business with him, and which finally compelled him to run away from here. The vacant Tenino rooms have been occupied for over twelve months by a successful fruit and vegetable dealer and who has been making money. Messrs. Seufert have 30 acres in peach trees from two to six years old, and will sell this season nearly 20,000 boxes, mostly to go east. They send you sample box ot peaches by express, one of a lot of 50 boxes being shipped today. It is too far to ship peaches and I fear these may not arrive in good condition will send you a box of liartiet pears later. The peaches will net Messrs, Seufert $1.25 per box. The crop last year realized $1.00 per box. 700 four year old cherry trees have netted $1,400 this season, and when three years older should realize double this- - amount. They have 50 acres in grapes and will put out 50 acres more next spring, besides putting out 60 acres more in apricots, which is evidence of their faith in the future of the fruit business in this sec tion. When they started in fruit culture, all their capital was $1,200, and that was invested in drifting sand refered to by Mr McMasters, and some of which, he says, was in danger ot blowing on to North Dalles. Today this orchard and vineyard cannot be bought for $50,000, and all of it has been made out of the fruit business, and right on the present orchard tract, besides giving them capi tal to start an immense fishing business. The standing of Seufert Brothers with the banks here is equal to that of any successful merchant of Eastern Oregon or Washington. I will, ma few days, answer other portions of Mr. McMaster's articles with official authorities support ing my statements. I don't own a dollar's worth of property in Washington or Oregon, today, nor do I know that I ever will. I write this without any pecuniary consideration whatever, and because I feel a great injustice has been done to these states and their thousands of fruit and other business men here, by the high standing of the paper publish- ing Mr. McMasters communications. Truly your, ' G. W. Ingalls. THE WASCO INDEPENDENT ACADEMY. . The catalogue of the Wasco Independ- ent Academy and State Normal school for 1891-9- 2 is before us. A careful ex- amination showsthat the various courses are admirably adapted to the purpose j they are intended to serve. One espec- - ially pleasing feature is the fact that the courses' are not inflexible, but admit of t modifiRAtimi tct firfant. tlipin tct tho nprlq Halifax, Aug. lO.-- The secretary of!of individuals: It is no lonr i.,Hl essential that all students pursue exactly the same line of study in order to be- come liberally edueated. Minds vary, and the studies which will train - them best, vary also has hitherto been attached to this branch of its work. The demand for trained teachers in all departments of school work has been growing very rapidly of late. A suitable normal course, such as is outliued in the catalogue, gives both theoretical and practical training. The state recognizes the merit of normal work by giving to graduates of the nor- mal school's certificates, good for six years in any part of the state, and often honored to adjoining states. Another excellent feature is the provision for an additional year's work in the different courses. With the training of the mind the development of true manhood and womanhood goes hand in hand. The discipline employed is such as to stimu- late truth and honor in all. On the whole it is safe to say that no better school is to be found in the state. The people of Eastern Oregon should give it their unanimous support. RAILROAD MATTERS. The last issue of the Wasco News says : "The construction of a railroad through Sherman county or into the interior of it, is a matter that our people should not let rest until the question is finally settled and we have a road into the county. Just now the Portland chamber of commerce has two propositions on its hands, either of which, if accepted would result beneficially for Sherman county. If The Dalles portage projectors con- struct their road into Sherman county up Spanish Hollow, or bring their influ- ence to bear to get a road into the county it matters not who builds it The Dalles road is the one we want. The silly twaddelthat the Spanish Hollow route is an impracticable one, is rot of the rankest sort. Any man who has ever been over a railroad through a rolling or mountainous country and has ever been up Spanish Hollow, knows that no doubt exists as to its practicabil ity. Sherman county is ready to join hands with The Dalles in securing the construc tion of this line, providing the matter does not end in all talk and on paper, Sherman county wants a railroad and if there is a shaddow of a chance we will have it this fall, and if not this fall by this time next year at the fartherest. If The Dalles people will put their shoulder to the wheel, Sherman will endeavor to get in a push occassionally and help the entjrprise along. We have started in to get "a railroad and if The Dalles wants the wheat trade of this county she must help ns get it. This railroad question is one that should interest every one in the county ; it is a question for which bickerings and strife should be laid aside. Sherman county needs more development, and we cannot afford to let petty differences come between us and this one great ob- ject. There ia a large area of country in the southern part of the county that stands only in need of a railroad to help it on to development. The farmers in that section cannot afford to raise large crops for the reason that they are too far from railway trrnsportation. With a railroad in their midst more grain would .be produced. Grass Valley is one of the rich sections of Sherman county that stands in need of a railroad, and we hope before the days of another August comes it will have it. It is a cause for which all should labor and encourage, FRUIT DRYING. Why would not the business of fruit drying pay in The Dalles? An enter- prising fruit shipper in Walla Walla is making arrangements for putting up an evaporator that will have a drying; ca pacity of four tons a day. Surely an evaporator with a capacity suited to this market would put money in the pocket of the investor. It would prove a great benefit to the people by creating a market for all kinds of fruit that can be preserved by the drying process. The business of fruit raising is constantly in- creasing while the home market is lim- ited and many inferior qualities of fruit that are allowed to go to waste, when fruit products are abundant, could be turned to profitable account by drying. As it is, small orcbardists, who cannot well afford to put up dryers of their own and who have not good shipping facili- ties find little profit in fruit raising in a' year when fruit is abundant. A market for dried frnit can always be found, at all seasons of the year and a fruit dryer with sufficient capacity to dry all the fruits that might be brought to it, on the shares or any other way, would keep many a dollar at home that is now sent abroad for dried fruit. WILL NOT STAND. IN THE WAY. The Chronicle has intervied Messrs. Liebe, Dufur and Johnston, three of the directors of the Dalles and Deschutes Portage Railway and Navigation com pany and they all express themselves freely as beingg perfectly willing that the Portland chamber of commerce should build the proposed portage. What they want is a portage on this side the river, where, it is believed it can be built cheapest and where it will do the most good, and any prospect of personal profit is a secondary considera tion. If Portland or the chamber of commerce want to build the road let them get in and do it. The directors of the portage company will not stand in the way. A FAIR OFFER. Our evenining contemptible objects to the appointees of Governor Pennoyer to attend the Salt Lake City convention, on the ground that they are not repre- sentative men and don't understand their business. Well, now, so far as the editor of the Chronicle is concerned, he will gladly resign in favor of Mr. Michell if that gentleman will promise !

Gives Way

Crashing to Death Twelve Excursion-

Wind Storm.

j Mineola, L. I., Aug. 12. The em-

ployes of Theodore Kaiser, Graham ave-

nue, Brooklyn, went on an excursion toLaurelton grove. Cold Spring harbor to-

day, on the steamer Crystal Stream andbarge Republic. There were 800 peoplecrowded together on the upper -- deckof the barge. They were just clear-

ing the dock to return to Brooklyn whenthe vessel was struck by a heavy squalland dashed against the deck in themidst of a a terrible thunder storm.The boat hands, anticipating a shower,let down the canvas curtains which areattached to the hurricane deck of thebarge and fastened them down to theport side. This prevented the windfrom blowing throagh, and as onestrong gust struck the barge it lifted thestarboard side of the deck from its fast-

ening and forced the top over to theport side. As it pushed over to the endof the deck nearest the dock, to whichthe barge was 'fastened, it dropped downon hundreds of women and children,who had crowded over to that side of

the barge in an effnrt to escape. In amoment the air was rent with thescreams and agonizing cries of the vic-

tims whose lives were being crushed andtheir limbs broken.

The officers, deckhands and other menon the steamer which had the barge intow lost no time in reaching the bargeand doing all in their power to rescueall they .could from the wreck. It hadbeen hoped that none were killed, butthe lifeless bodies of fourteen were seenlying near the gunwale. All had theirUvea crashed out by being caught be-

tween the edge of the fallen deck andguard rails, women children, and evenstrong men wept piteously as they

'. looked upou the dead or dying.Of the dead bodies those recognized

were as follows : Lizzie Jchamant, Mrs.Pauline Prinz, F. -- Hoffman, MinnieGoetz, Mrs. Lipenfinger, Kate Kautz,Robert Scbuler, Amelia Landgraft,Mary Schaff, Minnie Schaullein, AnnieVoltz, Amelia Wagner, Emma Weil andLouis Krntz. The pilot of the barge,whose name could not be ascertained,

- was also killed., Among the injured' are: CharlesHeld, Mrs. Henry Issleniann, Mrs.Zerman. The wounded were carefullycarried aboard the steamer, which con-veyed them to Oyster Bay village, a dis-tance of six miles, where they wereattended by physicians. The bodies ofthe dead were laid on the deck of thebarge to await the arrival of the ' cor-oner. The place where the accidentoccurred is at the head of Cold Springharbor, and is a favorite picknickingground. Many of the excursionists canried home with them pieces of the ts,

which show they were perfectly rotten at the core, ana tne uargeitself.it is said, is unsafe in other particulars.

New York, Aug. 13. The excitementover yesterday's Tbarge disaster at Coldsprings grove still continues toaay inBrooklyn. The corrected list places thenumber of killed at twelve.

After a talk regarding a matter on which Morris asked information, the latter asked the other totake a drink. Mr. Fraysier drained aglass. Turning to face Morris, the latterpulled two revolvers saying :

"1 am a desperate man. 1 have nomoney and my family in New Orleans isdestitute. I must have cash. Yon in-

dorse a check for $5000.Fraysier argued the matter. " The par-

. t BIG PRICES FOR WHEAT

A Wild Sccuc on the Chicago 'Change;'

All Sorts of Prices are Offered

. and Accepted.

An Extensive Operator of St. Louis

Fails. Had too Many Contracts

on Hand. Other Xews.

Chicago, Aug. 15. December wheatopened with a continuance of yester-day's wild scenes. Strong cables con-

tinue to effect the market. Those" whosold wheat around to 6 yesterday think-ing the culmination was reached, rushedinto the pit to cover at any terms. Or-

ders from New York and St. forshorts came pouring in, and altogetherthere was a wild scene and all sorts ofprices bid and accepted. In differentparts of the pit at the same time, withintwo minutes after the bell tapped all theway between 1.01Jg1.02Jg with sometrades possibly at 1.03 paid. A flood ofselling orders caused a to 1.01?4".There was a rally to 1 .02, another breakto 1.01k. and an advance to 1.02...When at about l.OlJg another bull waveswept over the wheat pit, and amid in-

describable scenes of excitement theprice was put up by halves and quartersto within three minutes. Thisbulge was understood as the result ofbuying in for account on shorts whofailed to respond to ;argin calls.

When these wants were satisfied therewas a quick reaction to 1.03?i and at10 :30 the price was 1 .048'. After 10 :30

the furor subsided somewhat, at leastfor a time, and fluctuations were narrow.Then another advance set in and prices'rose to 1.09 about 11 o'clock. Ten minutes later it dropped to 1.08. Othermarkets were lost sight of in the excite-ment in wheat.

The excitement today in wheat cannotbe ascribed to any one thing. It sympa-thizes with a world agitation onthe question of breadstuff's. Includingrye and wheat all foreign markets areexcitedly higher and America is the onlycountry which has full crops andcouuts on profiting by European andAsiatic scarcity. This in brief seems tobe the sentiment prevalent on the boardnere. as the session drew toward aclose, traders were desirous of eveningup their trades and the consequence wasthat from the extreme high point of$1.09 the market broke off to $1.05?.There was afterwards a slight rally andwheat closed unsettled; cash ll.OTig41.073a--

The Nebraska Eiglit-Ilo- ur Law.Dexveb, Colo., Aug. District assem-

bly No. 83, Knights of Labor, whichtook in all the employes of the UnionPacific system, has taken action regard-ing the Nebraska eight-ho- ur whichat present is causing trouble in Omahaand other cities. The following tele-gram has been sent to Omaha, GrandIsland, and North Plafte:

"becion lo ot the agreement is a contract as to working time. It is still inforce, having been made prior to theeight-ho- ur law, which, under the con-stitution, it cannot abrogate, The lawis thus inoperative on Union Pacificshop employes, because of the contract.In honor we are bound to recognize thecontract, unfortunate as ii appears,until it can be modified by the partiesto it. The good faith of the organiza-tion should be considered in thismatter."

GONE TO THE WALL.

An Extensive Exchange Oderator of St.Louts Fails. .

St. Louis, Aug. 15. The failure ofJohn Thyson an extensive operator onthe exchange was announced after thedose of the exchange today. "I do notknow how I stand," said Thyson, "thetrouble with me was I had too manycontracts on band and I fell in the gap,When I find out how I stand the matterwill be straightened out." Thyson isone of the most prominent traders onthe exchange and his failure rnd bigbulge in prices may pull down a fewothers.

The German Grain Market.Berlin, Aug. 15. The grain market

here is very excited. Rye for Augustdelivery which closed at 249 marks, isquoted at 260 marks. August wheat advanced 14 marks and 50 pfennings fromyesterday's closing price, now being 244marks. The North German Gazette theofficial organ of the government today,says, the government will resolutely ad-here to its decision to make no reduc-tion in the duties levied upon grain im-ported into Germany. The governmentis now held responsible for the advancein prices in the grain market.

Worse Than at First Reported.St. Clocd, Minn., Aug. 15. The

storm proves to have been more seriousthan at first supposed. All corn andstanding grain in its path is utterlyruined. In some places hail is fifteen totwenty inches deep on a level. No con-servative estimate can be made of thedamage but it is heavy.

The Report Favorable.St. Paul, Aug. 15. George Mulier,

who issued the alliance wheat circularsays; "Ve received replies from thesecretaries of the alliance in southernMinnesota, South Dakota, AVisconsinand Kansas all telling us the alliancevoted favorably on the suggestion. Notan unfavorable answer was received."

CHIC'AfiO ALT. EXCITE!.

Both Ki.Je Satisfied the Price AreHlgn.

Chicago, Aug. 17. The excitingscenes in wheat and corn which char- -

acterized trading the latter part of lastweek was renewed at the opening of the

j board of trade this morning. Tradingwas just as wildly nervous as it was

j Saturday. The bull fever is still on thismorning and trades inflamed with theprospect of higher prices, as a result of

excited higher cables, when the helltapped for the opening of business, atonce became a pandemouium fromwhich came these figures for Decemberwheat inside of ten minutes at 1.13.

This was the top figure on the earlybulge. Then prices began to weaken andat 10 o'clock had declined to 1.073. A

bulge to 1.13 was accompanied by thewildest excitement and some sales arereported as high as 1.14. The succeeding period of weakness was the result of

free selling by both longs and shorts,Conservative traders on both sides aresatisfied the prices are too high for safetyand far above the export basis, and theymust be brought together before a benefit on foreign shortage on which theboom was founded can be realized. Theconsequence of this was that pricesreacted until l.Oo was reached, that being the lowest point this morning,reacted to 1.07, sold off to 1.0G. Ato'clock it was comparatively quiet1.00. Wheat continued weak and12:15 December was quoted at 1.03.

THE WHEAT OUTLOOK.

at

The Promises or Big Yield are MoreThan Fulfilled.

St. Paul, Aug. 17. Harvestingwell under way all over the northwestand the promises of a big yield are morethan fulfilled. Wheat averages fromtwentv-fiv- e to thirty bushels to theacre and the increased yield from increased acreages makes 150,000,000 bushels minimum, the product of the twoDakotas and Minnesota. Other grainsare close to wheat, oats especially turning out. well. Great trouble is experienced in procuring labor to handle theimmense crop, and the railroads arehard at work preparing to handle thegrain. Lack of storage facilities willcompel the great majority of farmersdispose of their grain soon, and transportation facilities will be taxed to theirutmost. The weather for harvesting isall that could be desired.

THE SAFE WOULD NOT OPEN.

A Salem Bank Had Trouble In Gettingat Their Funds.

Salem, Or., Aug., 14. Two and a halfweeks ago the safe in Ladd & Bush'sbank here refused to open, and sincethat time experts have been laboringwith it. Both the time lock gnd combination refused to operate. After sixteendays' steady drilling the safe was openedtoday, over 100 drills having lenbroken and a dozen worn out in theoperation. In the safe was over $125,- -000.

Wheat today moved up to seventy-fiv- e

cents, the best price 'paid here for sometime. The new crop is beginning tocome in lively and the second big millwill be in operation next week.

This evening, at Turner, Ira Adamsstarted out on a ehort hunting expedition, and as he was getting over a fence,set his gun down on the ground, barrelup. His foot slipped and struck thehammer, discharging the weapon. Hereceived the load m his left wrist, whichwill have to be amputated.

The Artist and the Poodle.A certain portrait painter in this city

who has acquired quite a reputation asan artist, was complimented on his life-

like work. "Yes," he said, "I supposeit is creditable now, but was not alwaysso. I remember the first job I ever had,A wealthy lady came to see me andwanted her full length painted. I didthe best I could, but that was nothingto brag of. When the lady came to lookat the picture she gave a cry of disap-pointment.

'Why, that's not at all like me,' shesaid ; 'I shall not' take it !'

"I '.ssured her it was a perfect like-ness, and declared that even her littlepoodle would recognize it. 'I'm willingto take that risk,' she said, 'I'll bringmy dog with me this afternoon, and ifhe recognizes me I'll take the picture.'Later in the day she brought in thecanine, and the sagacious little animalafter surveying the portrait for a mom-ent, ran up and licked the painted hand.My lady took the picture without anyfurther objections."But the likeness must have been strik-ing," I said, "to deceive the dog."

"Not necessarily," said the artist;"I took the precaution of rubbing apiece of bologna sausage over the handbefore the dog arrived." Welcome.

and Union f- - Advertiser of late date thereappeared a series of interviews which re-

porters of these journals had with oneJ. M. McMasters, who lately owned ahalf interest in the Dufur rolling millsand who is not unknown to several peo-

ple in The Dalles. The interviews arethe product of a seemingly bitter anddisappointed man. They abound in reck-

less statements about the resources ofthe three states of Oregon, Washingtonand Idaho, which, coming from one whoprofesses to know every foot of thenorthwest are calculated to make a falseimpression especially when published injournals of established reputation. .Theattention of Major G. W. Ingalls,,. whohas for some time been engaged on thiscoast as a special correspondent of sev-

eral papers in California and the east,having been called to these misrepre-sentations, he has volunteered to givethem a partial contradiction, in a letteraddressed to a personal friend, in thecity of Rochester, who will doubtless seethat it is published where it will do mostgood. Major Ingalls has kindly placeda copy of the letter at our disposal whichreads as follows :

The Dalles, Ob., August 11th, 1891.Geo. Burlingame, Esq., Rochester, N. Y.

Dear Sib : My attention was this daycalled to the articles published in thePost Express, of your city, regardingSeufert Bros.' vineyard and orchard ofthis place. I showed these articles toMr. F. A. Seufert who read the sameand he authorized me to make the fol-

lowing statement: The Seufert Bros.have been at The Dalles for the pasteleven years. The first four years theywere successfully engaged in buying andshipping fruit, and sold out their goodwill for $1,600. Since selling out thefruit buying and shipping business theyhave continuously engaged in the rais-

ing and shipping of fruit, generally toeastern markets. Their fruits havefrequently come in competition withCalifornia fruits and yet have neversuffered from such competition; butoften their fruits have commandedhigher prices than those of California,Montana, Idaho and Dakota whenlaid side bv side.

Onecase in point : Messrs. Seufert Bros.had expressed 200 boxes of Bartlct Pearsto Butte, Montana; the charges and box-

ing costing $1.75 each. They telegraphedbuyers there to bid on the lot. $3.50 perbox was offered. Refused and wiredback that they would take $4.25 per boxand their offer was taken. Californiapears were in that market then. TheFish statement of Mr. McMasters, Mr.Seufert said was entirely false and thatpart of their business had always beenvery profitable.' They further said theyknew of the defunct Tenino Packing com-

pany, and that it had little or no capitalwhen it began business, and the manager wasted by dissolute habits a littlemoney put into it by a worthy citizenhere. That because of his vile habitshe lost the confidence of all who didbusiness with him, and which finallycompelled him to run away from here.The vacant Tenino rooms have beenoccupied for over twelve months by asuccessful fruit and vegetable dealer andwho has been making money.

Messrs. Seufert have 30 acres in peachtrees from two to six years old, and willsell this season nearly 20,000 boxes,mostly to go east. They send yousample box ot peaches by express, oneof a lot of 50 boxes being shipped today.It is too far to ship peaches and I fearthese may not arrive in good condition

will send you a box of liartiet pearslater. The peaches will net Messrs,Seufert $1.25 per box. The crop lastyear realized $1.00 per box. 700 fouryear old cherry trees have netted $1,400this season, and when three years oldershould realize double this- - amount.They have 50 acres in grapes and willput out 50 acres more next spring, besidesputting out 60 acres more in apricots,which is evidence of their faith in thefuture of the fruit business in this section. When they started in fruit culture,all their capital was $1,200, and that wasinvested in drifting sand refered to byMr McMasters, and some of which, hesays, was in danger ot blowing on toNorth Dalles. Today this orchard andvineyard cannot be bought for $50,000,and all of it has been made out of thefruit business, and right on the presentorchard tract, besides giving them capital to start an immense fishing business.The standing of Seufert Brothers withthe banks here is equal to that of anysuccessful merchant of Eastern Oregon orWashington. I will, m a few days,answer other portions of Mr. McMaster'sarticles with official authorities supporting my statements. I don't own adollar's worth of property in Washingtonor Oregon, today, nor do I know that Iever will. I write this without anypecuniary consideration whatever, andbecause I feel a great injustice has beendone to these states and their thousandsof fruit and other business men here, bythe high standing of the paper publish-ing Mr. McMasters communications.

Truly your, '

G. W. Ingalls.

THE WASCO INDEPENDENTACADEMY.

. The catalogue of the Wasco Independ-ent Academy and State Normal schoolfor 1891-9- 2 is before us. A careful ex-amination showsthat the various coursesare admirably adapted to the purpose j

they are intended to serve. One espec--

ially pleasing feature is the fact that thecourses' are not inflexible, but admit of

t modifiRAtimi tct firfant. tlipin tct tho nprlqHalifax, Aug. lO.-- The secretary of!of individuals: It is no lonr i.,Hl

essential that all students pursue exactlythe same line of study in order to be-

come liberally edueated. Minds vary,and the studies which will train - thembest, vary also

has hitherto been attached to this branchof its work. The demand for trainedteachers in all departments of schoolwork has been growing very rapidly oflate. A suitable normal course, such asis outliued in the catalogue, gives boththeoretical and practical training. Thestate recognizes the merit of normalwork by giving to graduates of the nor-mal school's certificates, good for sixyears in any part of the state, and oftenhonored to adjoining states. Anotherexcellent feature is the provision for anadditional year's work in the differentcourses. With the training of the mindthe development of true manhood andwomanhood goes hand in hand. Thediscipline employed is such as to stimu-late truth and honor in all. On thewhole it is safe to say that no betterschool is to be found in the state. Thepeople of Eastern Oregon should giveit their unanimous support.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

The last issue of the Wasco News says :

"The construction of a railroad throughSherman county or into the interior ofit, is a matter that our people shouldnot let rest until the question is finallysettled and we have a road into thecounty. Just now the Portland chamberof commerce has two propositions on itshands, either of which, if acceptedwould result beneficially for Shermancounty.

If The Dalles portage projectors con-

struct their road into Sherman countyup Spanish Hollow, or bring their influ-ence to bear to get a road into the county

it matters not who builds it TheDalles road is the one we want. Thesilly twaddelthat the SpanishHollow route is an impracticable one, isrot of the rankest sort. Any man whohas ever been over a railroad through arolling or mountainous country and hasever been up Spanish Hollow, knowsthat no doubt exists as to its practicability.

Sherman county is ready to join handswith The Dalles in securing the construction of this line, providing the matterdoes not end in all talk and on paper,Sherman county wants a railroad and ifthere is a shaddow of a chance we willhave it this fall, and if not this fall bythis time next year at the fartherest. IfThe Dalles people will put their shoulderto the wheel, Sherman will endeavor toget in a push occassionally and help theentjrprise along. We have started in toget "a railroad and if The Dalles wantsthe wheat trade of this county she musthelp ns get it.

This railroad question is one thatshould interest every one in the county ;

it is a question for which bickerings andstrife should be laid aside. Shermancounty needs more development, and wecannot afford to let petty differencescome between us and this one great ob-

ject. There ia a large area of country inthe southern part of the county thatstands only in need of a railroad to helpit on to development. The farmers inthat section cannot afford to raise largecrops for the reason that they are toofar from railway trrnsportation. Witha railroad in their midst more grainwould .be produced. Grass Valley is oneof the rich sections of Sherman countythat stands in need of a railroad, and wehope before the days of another Augustcomes it will have it. It is a cause forwhich all should labor and encourage,

FRUIT DRYING.

Why would not the business of fruitdrying pay in The Dalles? An enter-prising fruit shipper in Walla Walla ismaking arrangements for putting up anevaporator that will have a drying; capacity of four tons a day. Surely anevaporator with a capacity suited to thismarket would put money in the pocketof the investor. It would prove a greatbenefit to the people by creating amarket for all kinds of fruit that can bepreserved by the drying process. Thebusiness of fruit raising is constantly in-

creasing while the home market is lim-

ited and many inferior qualities of fruitthat are allowed to go to waste, whenfruit products are abundant, could beturned to profitable account by drying.As it is, small orcbardists, who cannotwell afford to put up dryers of their ownand who have not good shipping facili-ties find little profit in fruit raising in a'year when fruit is abundant. A marketfor dried frnit can always be found, atall seasons of the year and a fruit dryerwith sufficient capacity to dry all thefruits that might be brought to it, onthe shares or any other way, would keepmany a dollar at home that is now sentabroad for dried fruit.

WILL NOT STAND. IN THE WAY.

The Chronicle has intervied Messrs.Liebe, Dufur and Johnston, three of thedirectors of the Dalles and DeschutesPortage Railway and Navigation company and they all express themselvesfreely as beingg perfectly willing thatthe Portland chamber of commerceshould build the proposed portage.What they want is a portage on thisside the river, where, it is believed itcan be built cheapest and where it willdo the most good, and any prospect ofpersonal profit is a secondary consideration. If Portland or the chamber ofcommerce want to build the road letthem get in and do it. The directors ofthe portage company will not stand inthe way.

A FAIR OFFER.

Our evenining contemptible objects tothe appointees of Governor Pennoyerto attend the Salt Lake City convention,on the ground that they are not repre-sentative men and don't understandtheir business. Well, now, so far as theeditor of the Chronicle is concerned,he will gladly resign in favor of Mr.Michell if that gentleman will promise !
