Ously.

pany, saws the accIdent to the New York and
Chicago limited express train, which left
Chicago at p. M, yesterday near Salem,

O. r. Hoodes instantly. Eight of the pas

passenger cars, baggage and mail car and
sleeper Upon reaching Franklin Hill. the
engine left the track, plunging down the bank
a distance of thirty feet The baggage caI
and smoker followed and were badly wrecked
To add to the horror of the accident, almost
before the passengers could realize what had
happened the boiler of the engine burst with
a report that was heard for miles. The bag
gage car lying near the engine, was blown
to pieces The heads and mangled bodies OF
the engineer and fireman was found 400 yards
away The colored porter of the Pullman
sleeper was seriously injured. As yet nc
definite cause can be assigned for the acci'
dent, but the opinion is expressed that the
obstruction had maliciously been placed or
the track in such a way that the engineer
could not notice it in time 10 avoid disaster
Several passengers were more or less serious
ly wounded. The conductor and brakeman
received severe injuries. The track was

THE MORRISON BILL.
The Bill Wanted the Requisite Number
OF Supporters TO Secure its Passage.
WASHINGTON, March 20,

WASHINGTON, March 20.
The Evening Star says, tonight A COM
mittee of the tariff reformers has been sp-
pointed to make canvass of the House and
ascertain the status of the Morrison bill.
They made a preliminary canvass and found
the bill wanted the requisite number of sup
porters to secure its passage. They then
held q consultation to see what notifications
could be made, not materially affecting the
principle of the bill, that would secure few
additional votes necessary for the passage,
Ii was found that a few notifications in the
clauses affecting the local interests in Penn
sylvania, New York and Ohio would make
the bill acceptable to a sufficient number
who now oppose it and give it majority
1t is asserted that Randall and 10 or II Of his
follow ers refuses TO be conciliated upon any
bnt the basis of protection. They, it is un-
derstood, will vote with the republicans and
the split will be violent and permanent. This
result is looked upon as inevitable and there
is today more excitement over the tariff than
has been apparent since the question was
first raised.

DALLAS NINE,
Joint Senator for Polk and Benton

The delegates to the State Convention
from Polk and Benton counties nominated
for Joint Senator for the two counties Hon.
J. d. Lee, of Dallas, Mr.. Lee has been in
the Oregon Legislature two or three times
already, and by his course in that body he
has shown himself to be true friend to
Benton county and her institutions. He is
popular man, successful merchant of
Dallas and a good legislator. His long resi-
dence in Oregon and extended acquaintance
with men gives large advantage in know
ing the wants and necessities of the people.
During his long experience in the legislature
he has always been found a faithful, energet-
ic and true friend to one of Benton county's
cherished institutions, the State Agricul-
tural College, as well as all other interests
of the county. The people of our county
can quietly rest in repose with perfect ease
while her interests are Lett in his hands.

Supreme Judge.

L. Finn graduated at Middlleburg COL
lege, Vermont, in 1868; soon after he enter
ed the law Office of Robt. S. Hale, of Eliza
beth town, New York, and remained there
until he came to Oregon in 1864. He was
admitted to the bar in this state in Sept
1865, since which time he has been in active
practice and now holds the main practice in
Linn county. He has amassed a fortune out
of his practice, and the people of Linn coun-
ty have the utmost confidence both in his
ability and his integrity. Please examine
6 Oregon, page 81; the case of Hatcher VS..
Briggs, and you will find case in which
Finn secured ruling of the Supreme Court
establishing more liberal practice in regard
to land titles, the effect of which was to
drive all the land sharks out of the state.
Although there are o5her attorneys named
in this case, Finn did all the work in the
case and tried it in all the courts in which
it was tried, and prepared the brief. Mr..
Finn is successful practitioner at the bar
although he has adopted the plan generally
of attending closely to his home practice in
stead of continually going to courts in other
counties to practice, and hence his acquaint-
ance has not been SO wide spread as some
attorneys in the state, yet those who know
him give him credit for being lawyer of
ability, integrity and untiring industry, and
one who if elected to the supreme bench
VIII add credit to the position.

All is quiet here now as farmers are
generally busy finishing up their sowing as
the late rains have prevented quite num-
ber from getting through their spring seed
ing Fall grain and grain got in this spring
i'll good time looks remarkably well; the
wet weather has been a drawback on gar
dens on low wet ground, as there are several
about here that have not yet been plowed
this season. Those that are planted grow
slow, as the weather has been too cool and
wet.
There has been quite boom in selling
md exchanging real estate here of late,
amounting to several thousand dollars in
the aggregate. Lots are being sold and
fences built. and prospect of some new
buildings going up this season.
Politics seems to be the order of the day,
as we see some of the nominees quietly
coming round to see what is the prospect of
their election, and we hear it talked that
there will be third ticket in the field,
strictly a temperance ticket endorsing
temperance men already nominated on both
tickets and supplying other places with
good temperance men; quite number are
enquiring if our candidates are going to
canvass the county. We have not been
able to learn. It looks as though each was
afraid of the other. Representatives bow

THE LATEsT,-In the line of inventions
is reported by ye jolly editor of the Vest
Side. 1t is fully demonstrated that this IS
day and age of progression, and we are
called upon almost daily to chronicle the
event of some wonderful invention, but it is
hardly to be expected that such an inven-
tion as Bro. Stine speaks of in his last issue
could be made a success. He says:
"We received composing stone, Satur-
day, from the firm of j. B. ScraGiord Bro,
Corvallis Marble Works, which is well
finished and goes to show they are up to the
times in their business"
We have called upon Scraford Bros and
they say they can not fill another order for
this new Kind of stone, and we feel justi-
fed in expressing our indignation at our
en;erprising firm for shipping to our sister
city that which would have found ready
sale at home. II it is what It's name n
plies, ''a composing stone,' it is surely a
desirable acquisition to the ''a:t preser-
valve"

City Election.

In regard to the City election of Corvallis
last Monday, desire to say that my name
was placed on the ticket for Mayor against
my advice, without my consent, without my
knowledge until after more than half the
tickets were printed, and without any de-
sire on my part to run for the Office. l
therefore tender thanks to the people Of
Corvallis for electing Mr.. Jacobs, because he
has heretofore made a good Mayor and be-
cause it is not desirable place to occupy,
for no matter how faithfully and ably one
performs the duties thereof, he can hardly
as much as get thank you for his efforts.
