The East Portland VindicotOr has
discovered a white man married to a
japanese woman, and says: A few
miles east of this city, on the Powell's
valley road, near the old camp meet
ing ground, there lives a prosperous
and hard working farmer named Me-
Kinnon, who spent about II years of
his life on the Island of Japan, and be-
came conversant with all the ways
and modes of life practiced by that lit
tie empire. He left there about four
years ago on a vessel bound for the
North Pacific coast, having accumu-
lated i'm his foreign home a few thous-
and dollars, and won the affections of
beautiful Japanese girl who came
with him to share his fortunes in
America. Upon their arrival here
they moved upon the farm where they
now live. They were accompanied by
brother of the japanese lady, and all
has been harmonious since. They
have resided on the farm IA little over
three years, and have with them, to
cheer the eXiled wife, as a reminder of
of her sunny isle in the far western
ocean, IA bright little daughter of that
age, who is perfect beauty, of the
complexion that only comes from diff
ferent races which miscegcnote, and
rear such types Of loveliness as this
Asiatic- American creole child, whose
home is in the forests of Oregon. This
child is exceedingly bright and quick
to learn, aud is the pet fall who knew
her. McKinnon is as proud of his
dusky bride as if she was the daintiest
American beauty in existence, and

The Decatur Tribune, published at
Decatur, Texas, Describes IA new dis
ease as follows: The health of the
country has improved wonderfully
since the advent of cold weather, aud
this section would be in II reasonably
prosperous condition but for the break
ing out OF IA disease, which threatens
to nearly depopulate our portion of the
county, namely the Washington Ter
ritory fever which is raging fear
fully. Some of our most substantial
citizens have been stricken with this
fever and are ready to contend that
Washington Territory is where the
garden Of Eden was originally located.
Mr.. +. Fulton, one of our best and
most influential citizens has disposed
of his valuable farm to Sheriff Allen,
and Is making arrangements to start
in the spring, and "A great many 9TH
ers have caught the contagion and are
endeavoring to dispose of the property
and so. We regret to give up such
men as Mr.. Fulton. He is an honors-
BILE and upright man, one who always
has the best Interests OF his country at
heart and while we have some char
acters in this country that we would
be glad to see 60, Mr.. Fulton is not
one of them. 'lio. for Washington
Territory is the watch-word.

A new style money order for all
sums less than s., which may soon be
obtained at any post-ollice for fee of
three cents in addition to the amount
To he sent, is printed blank much
after the style of an overland railroad
ticket, with figures indicating the
amount transmitted, which may be
punched ont, thus preventing "rais-
ing.p These figures are on the right
hand side of the blank, with column
for dollars running from to I, col
umn for dimes from o to 9, and a col
umn for cents running from 0 to 8.
Suppose the amount to be sent is
S2.16. The postmaster punches these
figures and the purchaser then pays
the postmaster S2.79, and is given the
slip, which is in reality an order on
the postmaster in the city where the
creditor lives. The sender places the
blank in IA letter addressed to the cred
itor and sends it on to New York or
Boston, a. the case may he; the cred
itor presents it to his postmaster and
receives in return S2.76. \ stub show
ing the date of issuance, the number
of the order and the amount trans
mitted is retained by the postmaster
issuing the order, which acts as a per-
feet check against loss by theft, fire,
accident or otherwise. The present
money orders cost ten cents, and it is
believed that the new ones will be re-
ceived with much favor by the public.

A Mysterious Affair.

London, Oct. 3l-About o'clock
last evening a terrible explosion occur
red near the Praed street underground
station on the Metropolitan Railway.
Passengers who were on the train at
the scene of the explosion say that there
was suddenly loud report like that of
cannon, then q sudden darkness.
The train which was crowded, con-
tanned principally country visitors re-
turning from the Fisheries Exhibition.
After leaving the station the train
travelled to the next station, Edgeware
Road, where the first effort was made
to rescue the wounded
The first impression was that an ex-
plosion of gas had caused the disaster,
but later inquiries tend to show malice.
The general opinion of the railway Of
fcials and of experts is that the dlsas-
ter was caused by some explosive ma
terial which had been placed probably
in the rearmost carriage. 1t is believ-
ed that about forty persons were iDjur-
ed, some Of them dangerously.
Almost simultaneously with the bfaed
street affair violent explosion occur
red on the Underground Railway, be-
tween Charing Cross and Westminster
stations. The windows Of the signaling
stations in the tunnel were shattered,
and at Charing Cross the glass roof OF
tne station partly collapsed.
The esects were like those of the
Praed street explosion. Carriage lamps.
windows, ETC., were smashed. All
traffic was suspended for o while:
Though both explosions are matters OF
the greatest mystery, they age general
ly thought to have been of Fenial
Oripin.

Parting Shots at Searight.

WAYNEsBURG, November 4-There
is more interest centered in the fight for
judicial honors in the Fayette- Greene
district than in the election of State
officers. The Republicans, knowing
they stand no chance. have almost
unanimously resolved to support james
Inghram, of Greene county, as against
Tom Searight, of Fayette. All the
papers of this county appeared yester
day in last shot at Searight, and just
now the political pot is boiling furious
ly. 1t is likely from present indication
that Searight will not have votes
enought here to make them worth
counting. The Fayctte Republicans,
aln ost to a man, will vote for Inghram
to defeat Searight They know him
and consider him unfit to occupy the
position he seeks. The late Captain
Mutt came within $50 votes of beating
him two years ag9 for the Office of
PrOthonotary, and the Republicans
now believe he will have great difficulty
in carrying the county.

Too Particular.

At the election yesterday it seemed
to be the order to the Democrats to chal-
lenge the right to vote of all Republi-
cans possible. Old citizens who have
lived and voted here for fifty years
were challenged to show tax receipts,
or payment of taxes, and their papers,
etc. Now the object of the law is to
prevent fraudulent voting, and not to
prevent we'll known citizens from vot-
ing. Challenging is therefore being
carried to an extreme and the useless
practice should cease among all par
ties. While it is right that all comply
with the law yet mere technicalities
should not be used to prevent or hinder
honest voters The challenging busi-
ness could be eliminated without wrong
or injustice to any party.

A Good Soldier Gone.

We learn that Col. Thomas F. Gal.
lagher died at his home at New Alex
andria, Westmoreland County, Pa, on
Sunday last. This news will be receiv-
ed with sorrow by all of his old regi-
ment yet surviving in this county
Col. Gallagher commanded the lth Pa.
Regiment of Reserves, in which were
Companies G. and ID. from this county.
He was with his regiment until the
battle of South Mountain, where he
was wounded. He was not only a
brave and good officer but good man
personally, bearing good name
through all the relations of life. Few
officers in the late war could have
borne higher Christian character
than did Col. Gallagher. We regret to
learn of his death.

Rebellion in a Nunnery.

CLEVELAND, Oct 31.-St. Joseph's
Hospital and Nunnery is on Monroe
street. Years ago Bishop Rappe, who
formerly had charge of this diocese,
gave the Sisters of st. Joseph a deed
of the property. Since Bishop Gllmour
has been in charge of the diocese the
relations between him and the Sisters
have not been of very pleasant char
acter. 1t was one of the established
rules of the convent that the Sisters
select their own Mother Superior every
three years. Some time ago the Bishop
deposed Sister st. James and took
matters into his own hands by appoint
ing Sister st. Alexis as Mother Super
ior of the institution, which he bad no
right to do, the Sisters having always
before held undisputed the power of
choosing their Mother Superior. This
action very nearly resulted in mutiny
of the Sisters. but worse was to follow.
Bishop Gilmour made new rules for
their government, both in the nunnery
and at the hospital, which was also an
action Unprecedented In the history of
the SisterEood Further than this, he
endeavored to force them to execute to
him a deed of their Monroe street
premises. This the Sisters refused to
do. The result was mutiny and re-
bellion.
Within the past two days rumor
has been circulated to the effect that a
number of the nuns had packed up their
few worldly effects, gathered together
as much of the property of the sister
hood as possible, and left for parts un-
known. One version of the story is
that they have gone into another dio-
cese to start new nunnery, while
another is that they have gone to
Europe, taking with them sufficient
amount of the nunnery property to sup
port them for some time. 1t is also
publicly asserted that the departing
nuns took with them securities and
bonds valued at 100000.

The Virginia Plan.

DANvILLE, VA November SIN a
conflict betw cen crowd of whites and
colored this evening, Walter Holland,
son of G. G.. Holland, was shot in the
head and is supposed to be mortally
wounded. Thomas Seward was shot
through the body. Five negroes were
killed and it is supposed many were
wounded. The beginning of the con-
flict was the beating by one of the citl-
zens of negro who abused another ne
gro for apologizing for apparent rude
ness, and who spoke roughly about
citizen. Some of both colors interfered
and pistol was knocked out OF the
hands of one of the white men and ex-
ploded. Just then report reached an
assembly of white citizens in session
about political matters that a conflict
was going on in the street. They
came out in a body and both classes
formed in separate crowds. Some of
each crowd were armed A number of
negroes approaching the white crowd
called out "shoot, d. you. We had
as soon settle this thing now as anoth-
er time" Just then somebody in the
white crowd called out "Fire," and the
firing began. The negroes returned
the fire and ran off, some firing as they
ran. All the stores were closed lmme-
diately, the alarm bell sounded and the
people came out with arms. The town
Sergeant came out soon after with one
military company and commanded the
people in the name of the common
wealth to 60 home, and the streets were
soon cleared. The mounted police and
the town sergeant, in response to a
message from the Governor, Offering
assistance if needed, telegraphed that
all was quiet and no further trouble
apprehended. No arrests are made as
vet. The political excitement has been
growing more and more intense during
the present canvass for members of the
Legislature.
POLITICAL EXCITEMENT.
| HARRoDsBURG, VA, November A.
Great excitement was caused here by
the reception of the news of the riot at
Danville 1t is believed it will have a
decided effect in the valley counties on
Tuesdays election.
RICHMOND, VA, November A.
An immense mass-meeting of citizens
of Richmond was held at the First
Regiment Armory this Sunday even
ing to express sentiments concerning
the riot at DanYille. A preamble set
ting forth that the conflict between the
races in Danville is the result of con
spiracy to force the issue upon the white
people by the leaders of the coalition
movement was adopted.

THE STATE.

Both parties are claiming the State,
but from all the news we have to this
morning we think the Republicans have
carried Pennsylvania.
Massachusetts, has gone Republican,
this beating Gen. Butler for Governor
New York and New Jersey have
probably gone for the Democrats.
Searight is probably defeated for
Judge in the FaJette county district.
There was no blood shed in Virginia
as was feared would be.

A Communication.

EDS. CITIZEN The article that ap-
peared in last weeks Eagle headed
"Wide Awake" was nothing but lies
from beginning to end. In the first
place there were no school boys engag-
ed in it, and Sanford was not engaged
through the "Redpath" Lyceum
Burean, of Boston, but was engaged
through the Central Lecture Agency at
Harrisburg.
Col. Sanford thought right when he
thought that he was engaged by the
REGULAR Lecture Course of the season,
for there was no other association IN
the field at that time. Where was the
other association, do you ask! The
leading member had gone to Utah.,
where he should have been long ago.
The rest discouraged by his disappear
ance broke up the association, so leaV-
ing the "Wide Awakes" the only reg
ular association in the field.
Again. there were only two OF the
"Wide Awakes" in the house at all
during the evening and they heard oil
of the lecture another lie nailed.
About the Colonel being vexed at
them for engaging him when they had
no funds to pay him, they had the
money there with them ready and
willing to pay him every cent and dId
pay him. The only thing lnaI
be presented to them was the
warning that the other association
was working against them. Again
they want none of your sympathy, they
are auide awake to the fact that YOU
fallen chief needs all the sympathy yor
can spare. Send it to Salt Lake CITY
Utah, in care of the Mormon Hagi
Priest, and he will be sure to get. L
YOU don't wish to send all Of 1t ther
give some to Right Honorable Burn
sides. More anon,

The Luther Anniversary,

There were services in the churches
of this place last Sunday commemora-
tive of the Great Reformation. The
German Lutheran church had an ex-
cursion to Evans City, where joint
services, between a number of the con-
gregations of that chpreh in this coun-
ty, were held.
Next Sunday, we understand, the
services In the churches will have refer
ence to the anniversary of the birth of
Luther, Nov. 10, 1888, being the 400th
year of that event.
