Double Murder Divulged.

SAN FRANcIsco, March 23-The Chroni-
Gle will publish tomorrow shocking story
of a double murder in Sonoma county and a
charge that Thos. j. Geary, prosecuting at
torney for Sonoma, assisted in hushing it up
and assisted the murderer to escape from
the country. 1t is charged that Frank
Meachana, son of wealthy farmer, lived for
several years in an isolated place belonging
to his father, keeping there in improper re
laJion with himself woman named Eurilla
Bray, who was induced to live with him on
the promise of marriage when she should
procure divorce from Bray, who had de-
serted her. During this time she gave birth
to two children both of whom were smother
ed by their father, Meacham, in presence of
their mother. His failure to keep the prom
1se of marriage caused her to divulge the
dreadful story. Examination proved all her
ch ,rges, and the bodies of the children were
dug up by detectives from the yard of
Meacham's house. After all this proof had
been presented Geary ordered the matter
dismissed on a pretense that it would be
impossible to convict, and the presumption
is that he was paid by Meacham's father to
let the son off.

Fire at Monrps.

Avery destructive fire occurred at Mon
roe, in this county. on Tuesday morning of
this week, IN which six buildings We're
totally consumed About Is minutes to 2
o o'clock in theaeurtiiEs fire was discovered
in back, or oil room os Thompson's drug
store, which spread south to John Weber's
shoe shop, northwest to G. w. Houck's
store and warehouse, and west to Samuel
Looney's livery stable. The following is a
list of the losses as near as we are ablea to
give: G. w. Houck, $1,000; Samuel Looney
$4OO; Thompson $1,000; Wilhelm, Star &
Hinton .S25OO, to $4,000. Houck's store
books and large portion of goods were
saved. Samuel Looney saved his vehicles,
horses and some oats. The fire is thought
to be the work of an incendiary, anl con-
sidering the fact that greater portion of
the men of the town were here in Corvallis
attending court at the time of the fire, and
that Monroe has no regular organized fire
company, the remaining citizens of that
place did noble work in fighting the flames.
Men, women and even little children
worked with will and were successful in
saving several other buildings which ether.
wise would have been consumed. Too much
praise can not be accorded to those who
fought so valiently. .

Heavy Shock of Earthquake.

SAN Francisco, March 25.-The heaviest
earthquake felt in this city since 1868, oc-
Cured this afternoon at 4:44. The first
sensation was that of an upward movement
followed by tremulous vibrations, succeeded
by tremendously heavy waves. People
rushed from their Offices and houses in
great fright. Although they laughed and
joked it was quite evident, from their coun-
tenances, that they considered it a very
serious affair. Several buildings on made
ground near the water front are reported
as having been seriously damaged by the
walls having been thrown out of position
The shock lasted fully fifteen seconds;
many say it lasted over twenty. This one
was followed by another, but lighter shock
at 5:1S., More are expected.

with the growth and prosperity of his
beloved Oregon. A life characterized by
active and continued industry, untiring
energy, and unsweying integrity. He was
often heard to say all through life that his
whole aim in life was ''to de to etherE as he
would wish others to do unto him" and this
motto was not lightly regarded by him, but
had broad significance which made it enter
into every detail of his daily life and to be
his rule and guide in all transactions with
his fellow man, and when near the end and
the shadow of that untried future were
gathering about him, almost his last words
were that he ''could look back over every
act of his life with satisfaction" and how
can man live nobler? If be has lived well
surely he may not fear to die.
One who has known him for few of the
later years of his life would offer this tribute
to his memory. His scrupulous exactness
in performing all he promised and his
straightforward course in whatever path
duty called regardless of all else, had gained
him the regard of all who came i'll contact
with him, and the esteem and warmest
affection from those who knew him best.
Many will mourn him as friend gone, and
his memory will be cherished long after his
form is returned to dust from whence it
came. May his fidelity to his favorite
motto exernplifed in his whole life give it
a new and nobler meaning to his friends
who survive him.

SENTENCED TO DEATH-J. W. Murray,
who was convicted of the murder of Alfred
Yenke, was sentenced to death in the cir
cult court at Portland on the 24th inst by
Judge Smith, the execution to take place
May 9th between the hours of 10 in the
forenoon and 4 in the afternoon. Murray
is without money, and even if he could
secure the services of a lawyer free, it is
not thought that he would be able to raise
funds enough to pay for printing brief, in
case an appeal was taken to the supreme
court. Murray's old associates hold him in
such contempt for the cowardly manner OF
the murder, that they care little to interest
themselves in his behalf, hence there is little
hope of an appeal.

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.-When the fire
bell was ringing last Sunday the engine and
one hose cart were in the middle of the
street in front of Jacobs & Neugass' store,
while the other hose cart was turning the
corner On the side walk aud Hon. E. G.
Hurch, prosecuting attorney for this district
was standing at the foot of the stairw ay
leading to the railway Office, and amid the
noise and confusion did not hear the ap-
preaching cart, the wheel of which struck
him in the back, knocking him down and
passing over his ankle. Strange to say,
however, no bones were broken. 1t is
thought that the wheel first struck the heel
of his boot, and as the cart will probably
weigh 1000 pounds, this fact alone is all
that saved more serious accident. 1t has
caused much talk as to the propriety of the
fire companies running on the sidewalk in
cases of fire, and while it is debatable
question, similar accidents should be guard
ed against in the future.
