The Sinking of the Oregon.

The pilot boat and the small boats had left
the sinking ship with heavy loads Of human
freight, having about one hundred persons
aboard. The steamer was settling lower each
minute, the prom being much lower than the
stern. and II seemed that each moment was TO
be the last. We could lmOst feel the asst
cOpvulsive CULVER preparatory 10 the final
plunge. This was an exceedingly trying mo
ment. There were no life preservers, as the
heavy s.a had carried them overheard Stand
ing rather apart from the other passengers,
was a beautiful girl whose terrified face de-
picted the horrors of the fearful experience
A tall, handsome young man stood beside her
with his arm tcndcrly encircng her slender
waist. He was evidently trying to comfort her
with hopes of rescue: but the sweet creature
saw to plainly that unless something unlocked
for should occur they would soon lie at the
bottom Of the great ocean, far away from
sweet home and dear friends The young fel-
low was about to tell his sweetheart that they
were lost when one of the sailors raised Il loud
cry, and looking over the bow Of the boat the
passengers saw something dark standing out
toward them, and as the vessel driitcd little
nearer, all saw that il was great sign hang
ing suspended to something, and upon the sign
were these words: Emerson holds the bridge
to help the folks over" and in a few minutes
they all stood safely upon old mother earth.
They all shook hands with Uncle Emerson"
and many of them accepted the assistance he
offered as they had lost all their effects on the
sinking shin 81

THE FIRE BELLS TESTED
By Sounding an Alarm of Fire in the
Second Ward

By Sounding an Alarm of Fire in the
Second Ward.
This morning at 8 O'Clock the new fire
bells drOned out very feeble alarm OF
fire, which, after some difficulty and de-
lay, was located by the bells In the Sec
ond ward. The fire proved to be at
Mr.. W. G. McGinty's carpenter
shop, No. $40 Morales street, and
the shop, tools, etc, were entirely con-
sumed, making Mr.. McGinty's loss
about 500, on which there was
no insurance. the policy having lapsed
about two months ago. The Second ward
hose company were on the ground hrst,
although they did not hear the bells and
were simply informed by message OF the
fire. There was great delay in the IRE
steamers OF companies Nos. and get
ting to the fire and both were so late as
to render their services entirely futile
to save the property. Ihis was
caused by the horses which Ora" en-
CINE No. /, being out with load OF fire
hose testing the new hydrant near Mrs.
Reeds and Captain Story's residence
nearly a mile and half away, and the
horses of No 2's engine were being used
to haul load OF manure out on
Powder House hill to that open
air city crsmatory. Coupled with this
delay, when No. 2 company did reach
the fire aid attempted to attach hose
to hydrant the plug could not be
opened, as two big cedar posts had been
set V shaped over 1t so tightly for pro-
lection that it proved an etfectusl lock:
The steamer of Fire Company No. did
not throw water at all.
