A Hero Engineer.

these }msung heroes of daily lite whose
deeds OF bravery outshine the Wanted
achievements OF knights OF the age Of chiy-
airy, deserve to be held up to the admira-
ton OF mankind, Brave men who risk or
lose their lives in the simple performance
of their duties or in the effort to save their
iellow-men from death and danger should
be enrolled among those whom the world
loves to honor A story Of one of these
comes from the recent railroad disaster at
the Relay House on the North Central
Railroad
Jack" Purdy was the engineer OF the
Cockeysville accommodation train south
ward bound When nearly across the
bridge he felt the superstructure giving
way. Quick as thought he pulled the
throttle valve open wide, which had the
effect Of causing the engine like horse
goaded by the spur Of its rider, to leap
forward and to break loose from the tank.
When freed from the train the quivering
iron horse. from the sudden momentum
given it, threw the engineer forward,
showing the throttle valve home, thus
stopping the powerful machine (but not
before it had left the rally tearing the cab
or house off over the engineers head
When the shock was over and the fright
FIJI situation of the two trans-portions
of which We're immersed in ten to twenty
ieet OF WATERWAYS discovered, Purdy, the
heroic engineer, was found with both hands
on the throttle valve, the blood trickling
down over his face from several cuts about
his head. The picture was a grand one
that fearless engineer at his post casting a
look of horror backward. but keeping
Yice-like grasp over the lever which con

An interesting wrestling match lately
took place in Suhr's circus at Bucharest,
Roumania Mr. Rigal, the athlete of the
company, had challenged the strongest
man in Roumania, and somebody had ac-
cepted the challenge. under condition that
he might be allowed to wear a mask.
Prince Sturdza is considered the strongest
man in Roumania; every body reported
that he was the masked man. The circus
was crowded. Every patriot wanted to see
the defeat Of the foreigner. And he was
defeated amid the roaring applause of the
patriotic public. Director Suhr notified the
public that the athlete would have salts
faction the next day. Again a crowded
circus, and again a defeat of the foreign
giant. This was repeated the third, fourth,
fifth and sixth day, but on the seventh day
it happened that the Roumanian champ
ion lost, his mask 1t was. not Prince Sturdza,
but August, the jolly clown of the circus.
A tremendous uproar ragged through the
house. The honest Romanians. deeply
offended, rushed swearing and roaring in
to the arena in order to tear the two cham
pions, but the latter escaped. If the mill
tary and the foreigners had not interferred
they would have burned the circus. Mr.
Suhr made money by this trick.

A New AsP1RANr.-An anonymous
correspondent of the Oregonian, claim
ing to reside in this Territory, suggests
Samuel G. Wingard for the Republican
nomination as Congressman. By all
means give "Samuel c." q chance.
He possesses in an eminent degree the
energy and ability necessary to manage
our Territorial interests. As an orator
he is the peer Of Mr.. Gar6elde, and
ranks second only to Mrs. Chamber
lain. The fact that he does not owe his
present position to the influence Of
any " grasping corporation. will secure
for him the cordial support Of the Pa
irons of Husbandry.

DASDEn rp.-Our hsighbor Of the
Express appears determined: to quarrel
with somebody and "insists" on an
apology::::from the men, or set of men,
who advertise an insult upon prosperous
Steilacoom." It closes q half column
article with this language:
"Our friend Of the Standard has taken the
matter up. and must be the next one TO
answer: Were you the author of, or did Won
permit to be printed at your office, q poster
defamatory Of SteilacoOm, which was CON.
spicuously placed before the voters on YOUR
last election day."
Now If Mr.. Dickens had been thus ex-
plicit in his previous article he would
been saved a world OF trouble. We
answer categorically:
LIST, We were not the author of any
poster defamatory of Steilacoom, con-
spiciously posted or otherwise.
I'd, We have never printed poster
" defamatory of Steilacoom." ..
Sd, No such poster was printed by
anybody else, and posted on cleo
ton day, or at any other time, to our
knowledge.

The INDEPENDENT PARTY"

just as was surmised, the Independ.
ent movement in Walla-walla county
proves to be the spasmodic effort of q
few malcontents to " secure good men
for Office" by placing themselves be-
fore the people as eligible candidates
for their suffrages. Tho Union says
that 1t originated in town and lacks sup
port in the country precincts. As q
town measure, it will not, in its judg-
ment, prove a success. Names were
obtained by the grossest misrepresenta.
tons, and calls were prepared to suit
the individual preferences Of signers,
and the names were afterwards cut off
from these and pasted to the published
manifesto, which many of its feputed
supporters utterly repudiate. This lit
tie game indicates that the same polit-
ical hacks who have hitherto created so
much discorl in both parties, are at
their old tricks. It is an insult to the
intelligence Of the people to believe that
they can be deceived by the professions
OF men who resort to such contemplate
trickery at thevery inception Of their pro-
fessed reformatory organization. The
onion. in alluding to this subject says:
ut seems that there has been good deal Of
sharp practice used In obtaining names, and
We find a number of those whose names APP
pear on the call who say they never signed
the call ~ published-.ome say they signed
q call for convention to nominate Delegate
only-others, that they signed for a county
nominating convention only-and others, that
they signed for convention to- nominate
a full ticket from Delegate down to Coroner.
1t seems, however, that all the names signed
to all these calls have been cut off from the
originals and pasted on to some other call.
Different men view this mode Of procedure
in different lights. but we have seen but few
who relish the thing exactly. We would
mildly suggest to the refOrmers' that this
thing Of putting names to papers when they
were never signed is q dodge frequently re-
sorted to by the old politicians. and wire.

"trickery, ETC., are not yet completely re-

THE TERRITORIAL UNIVERSITY.

We observe with regret that the mis-
understanding between the Regents of
this institution is likely to engender
much i!!-feeliug and impair very ma
terally its usefulness, unless q mutual
forbearance is exercised and harmony at
once restored. The difference, has re-
suited from the employment of the
Principal-Mr. Brown, the President of
the Board having acted under implied
instructions and engaged Rev. Mr..
Nicholson, while the remainder of the
Regents favored tho proposition Of Mr..
Whitworth, which was finally accepted.
We can very readily imagine how such
mistake might have occurred and
neither party be to blame for it. Our
belief that Mr.. Whitworth is thoroughly
competent to assume the duties of the
prection is based upon personal know
loedge of his ability and success in the
school-room.
The following card, referring to the
unhappy difficulty, needs no further ex-
PLANTATION:
A CAnD:-At an informal meeting of the
hoard Of Regents; held in June, Mr.. Brown.
Smithers and Bagley present, there were sew
eral direct propositions from parties to take
the university at Seattle. and conduct the
school, and there was also correspondence
from, or Endorsements Of. Mr.. Nicholson,
out no sum indicated. We requested Mr..
Brown to write to Mr.. Nicholson. stating the
best We could do by any one. and ask II he
would correspond. on that basis, and II So
TO telegraph us; and we distinctly, then and
there, declared that it was only to be as a
proposition for consideration on our part,
and not as q bargain. We are not responsible
FOR more being made OF it by others. We

BURsLARY.-On Tuesday evening the
house on Second Street occupied by Mr..
John Mccormick and family, late of
Wisconsin, was entered by some mis-
creant and the sum of $4,000 taken
from under his pillow, where it had
been placed for safety when the family
retired to bed. The thief effected
an entrance by a window, as one was
found open, when Mr.. NJ. awakened in
the morning, and was the first indica-
ton that the premises bad been invaded
during the night. The officers have
been diligently searching for the money,
but up to the present time they have OBJ
tanned no clue to the perpetrators of the
outrage. This loss leaves Mr.. Nc
Cormick in destitute circumstances, a
sad misfortune even under more favora-
BILE circumstances, and doubly SO for a
stranger who has just arrived in our
midst.
