from any embarrassment by reason of
their selection for cabinet positions, but

ments, civil service reform and south

The Verdict IN the Ashtabula Bridge
Horror.

Ashtabula. March S.-The coroner's
jury to-day rendered a verdict on the
Ashtabula disaster, that the fall of the
bridge was the result of defects aud er-
rors made in designing, constructing
and erecting; that the chief defect ap-
peaTing in many parts was the depend
ence of every member for it's efficient
action upon the probability that all or
nearly all others would retain their po-
sition and do the duty for which they
were designed, instead of giving each
member Il position in connection with
the rest. The members of each truss
were, instead of being fastened to-
gether, rested one upon the other, as il
Illustrated by several particulars, which
are enumerated and explained in tech
meal terms. Thick beams were placed
where the plan required thin ones, and
vice versa. The railway company used
this bridge eleven years, during all of
which time examination by competent
engineers would have certainly dis
closed these defects. For this neglect
the railroad company alone is RESPONSE
BILE, and upon it rests the fearful res
possibility for the loss of life. The
cars which plunged into the abyss were
not properly heated, according to the
plain requirements of the law, hence
the responsibility of the fire also rests
upon the company. The responsibility
for not extinguishing the fire when it
first appeared rests upon those who
We're first on the scene, who seem to
have lost all presence of mind, and
failed to take what steps might easily
have been taken to put out the fire.
The fire departments steamer arrived
too late to save a human life, but the
chief engineer is responsible for not
making all possible efforts to eXtinguish
what fire remained. The deceased,
therefore, came to their deaths by the
precipitation of the ears into the
chasm left by the falling bridge, and
burning cars, for all of which the rail-
way company is responsible.

A CARD
TO ALL THOSE WHO SUBSCRIBED AID Fl

I desire to correcs certain false insinua-
tions, rejecting upon my honesty. that ap-
peared in recent number of the ''Daily

towns on the Sound to solicit what aid l
could for the benefit of those men who vol
UNFAIRLY undertook to cut out the jams in
the Skagit river. The first donations re-
ceived, consisting of money, tools, clothing
and provisions, / turned over to them in
Seattle as soon as received them, they be-
ing highly pleased with this unexpected
gratuity. Continuing my canvass about
two weeks longer, much to the neglect Of
my own business at home, and deflaying
most of my travelling expenses out Of my
own money, I returned home, when was
taken down with cold which soon settled
into pleurisy, confning me to my house for
over two weeks, during which time that
unjust and malicious rumOr was started.

all the funds, remaining in my possession,

true. as is shown by the good ships

shroud out of place. The Teputed story
of her loss therefore can only be q
source of chagrin to every paper in
which the rumor is published. Since
We began this article. the Oregonian

story. Gentlemen. the good ship lives.
the pride of your State, for she gave it
more real fame than it ever acquired
from any other source. She was built
by nonresident of your State. while
those who had grown rich in your
midst. from the hard toll Of your peo-
pie, sent their money to enrich Eastern
ship-yards and suffered your splendid
timber TO be neglected. You cannot
reprosch Eastern capitalists for refus-
ing to invest in the resources OF Oregon.
when your own rich men--all of whom
began poor-send their money East for
what few ships they want built to carry
away your grain to European ports.
Yes. the good ship is safe in port
and cordially welcome. for though she
is not native OF our forests, she is .
sister of the wildwood and Forest
Queen. and an eqnal sharer in their
fame. Long may she float and carry
her starry flag for the honor of the Pa
