San FRANclsco, January 14.-Telegraph
communication with Portland, which has
been interrupted for week, has been re.
stored to-day. Dispatches state that on
the 9th instant Portland was visited by
the most serious storm known since the
settlement of the country. The direction
Of the wind at the beginning OF the storm
was southwest, but later it yeered to the
south. But little rain accompanied the
storm, though heavy clouds passed over
head during its continuance, and the
damage to property in the city will not
fall short OF $4,000. The steeple Of the
First Presbyterian church, was prostrated,
seven houses were blown down, many roofs
were ripped Of, including the roof Of The
Court House and a portion OF the new
Market Theatre. Signs and awnings were
blown broadcast. The Willamette river
was. rougher than ever known. But little
damage resulted to boats and shipping.
While the storm was at Its height, Bremen
Hall, q. large two.stofy wooden building
was prostrated and four men were caught
under the ruins. Jack 0'Donnell SUSTAIN
ed very severe injuries, and Harry P.
Heinrich was instantly killed. In East
Portland, the new Catholic Church was
prostfated and reduced to q complete
wreck, and number OF buildings In the
same place were blown down or unroofed.
Reports from the interior indicate that
the storm ragged with great violence. The
value OF the property destroyed is not
estimated, but will certainly be great, and
the obstruction OF the roads will, in many
localities, for time, stagnate business.
Owing to the fallen timber and damage
TO the railroad bridges, railroad trains will
be delayed several days. The lines be.
tween here and Dallas are buried under
fallen timbers SO deep that new lines will
have to be constructed. AT Umatilla
much damage was donc. The gale attain:
ed for short time velocity OF eighty
miles sn hour. A number OF houses were
blown down.
So! far as known there has been but lit.
tie loss Of life from the storms A great
number OF cattle are reported killed from
falling barns and trees.
AT Tacontre, Washington Territory, a
tree was blown against he school house,
demolishing it. Twenty children were in
the building at the time. A son and
daughter OF John W. Bartlett were in
stantly killed and another daughter dan.
gerously injured.
No damage to the shipping is reported |
at Astoria.
At Vancouver several houses at the
garrison were prostrated; no lives lost.
Much damage was done at Salem. A |
portion OF the roof OF the State House was |
torn of; also OF the Academy Of the Sa.
cred Heart.

Leaving Mr.. Cr1crait, the reporter
tackled Unfortunately such persons rs
he thought would likely shed further
illumination on the subject. Capt. Will
son said the same plan had been tried in
substance before and found impracticable.
When the soldiers were being mustered
out here during tho war they were often
mustered out and paid on Sunday, and an
effort was made by Council to stop tile
clothing stores from opening and selling
to them en- that day. The next Sunday,
according 10 the Captains account, pretty
nearly all the uptown clothing stores were
open and the clerks and proprietors were
as busy as hornets, while not policeman
could be seen north Of the creek. Col.
O'Brien also furnished the reporter with
an account OF the movements OF the pub.
lie pendulum toward aud away from rigid
Sunday observance, from the time the fiS
Germans arrived here, down 10 the pres.
ent, and thought 1t was no use trying to
do anything more than induce a healthy
sentiment concerning Sunday observance
through the efforts Of the churches.
Capt. Roll thought there was no sense in
endeayoring to compela man 10 do what
he did not want to do in the matter OF
Sunday observance and several other
opinions pro and con were furnished for
the enlightenment Of the scribe.
One thing appears evident, and that is
that the movement has gotten fairly
started and seems likely to be pushed
through TO an issue. Another meeting
is to be held by the law and order men at
Fourth Street Church next Monday even
ing and meantime the petitions are being
unlustriously circulated for signatures. /

HUNTINGTON, January II.
Special Dispatch to the IntelliEeucet
About thirty-tive miners who had been
arrested by the Sheriff Of Fayette county
were arraigned before magistrate to-day
at Hawks Nest at the instance OF Mr..
Page, owner Of the mine at that place, for
intimidation and unlawful interference
with his employees. The defence is con.
Quoted by Hon. E. Willis Wilson, Of
Charleston. The trial has occupied all
day, and will doubtless continue for sew
eral days.
The above is the situation OF affairs this
evening. Capt. Montgomery's Lewis.
burg militia force arrived at Hawks Nest
this morning, and with the Charleston
Company now constitute the army Of de.
fense and protection at that point. Quite
a number Of Pages employees have resum-
ed work, and, thus far have not been mo.
Tested. In consequence Of the present
troubles, coal operators in the valley are
in rather disturbed condition. AT
all the mines labor is disorganized,
and the general aspect OF affairs is very
unpromising. lido not apprehend, how.
ever, that there will be any conflict be.
tween the military and miners during the
present disturbance, but unless the ex.
listing differences as to the prices paid the
miners are satisfactorily adjusted, the
prevailing condition of things will prob.
ably be Of long duration. In mining
operations it is charged that there arr
wheels within wheels.
