The second performance of Evangeline
given at Portland Theatre last evening,
proved fully as interesting as that of the

favorite play in Portland. 1t will be pro-
duced at Portland Theatre Friday and Sat
urday evenings, and there was a good adj
vance sale yesterday. Charlie Reed. who is
this year playing ''0ld Sport" is known as
'just the plain" comedian. Formerly one of
the brightest lights of the minstrel stage. he
has forsaken burnt cork and made a bril-
liant record as a legitimate comedian. He
is establishing himself as fav0rite in every
place he visits. As Jonathan Wild in sLit-
tie Jack Sheppard" and Robin Oakapple in
'RuddygOre," lie demonstrated his unques-
TONED ability as comedian.
VOYAGE EN- SUISSE.
The sale of seats for the Hanlons in "Voy-
age Ell SUISSE" will begin at Portland Thea
ire Friday morning. The New York Herald
says: 1.-The attraction at the Fourteenth
street Theatre last evening was the clever
Hanlons in their amusing, acrobatic and
farcical absurdity, lie Voyage en- Suisse.
The Hanlons have not been seen In this city
for three years, and they were welcomed
back with much heartiness. Their piece has
been remodeled. The railroad and stage
coach disasters and the scenes in the sleep
ing car have their usual success"

Double Railroad Wreck.

railroad wreck, followed in ten min
utes by another wreck, occurred at point
fifty miles from Kansas City. where the
Hannibal & Wabash roads run parallel.
The accident resulted in the death OF four
men and the injury OF three others one of
whom will die. The late terrific rain had
washed away a bridge over a ra-
vine, and the first accident occurred
when an east bound Rock Island 4
freight train was thrown into the ditchs4
Y Royston, brakeman OF Edgerton uncS
ton, Kan. was on top of one OF the
cars that went down into the debris. He
was crushed beyond recognition. Imme-
diately afterwards Edward C. Armstrong,
4 brakeman, was sent ahead to flag the
Hannibal freight. He mistook the tracks,
and was walking along the Wabash road
when the Wabash freight dashed around
curve and instantly killed him.
The Wabash train met the same fate
as the Rock Island, as the two
bridges we're only two feet apart and
were connected and the heavy cars plunged
down on the wreck OF the first train. Two
dead bodies we're taken out soonafteward.
Neither OF the men could be recognized, and
it is Supposed they were tramps Engineer
Ben Mcclellan. al the Wabash train, was
badly hurt in jumping and Ben Morris. a
negro youth, was SO badly hurt that he
is expected to die. JohHs24 der, the Rock
Island fireman, also suffered Slight injnrieSs

be cleared. Meanwhile, both roads will

Gossip About Willard.

The telegraphed from New York TO the
effect that Henry Willard is soon to be in
control OF the Northern Pacific railway
and the Oregon & Transcontinental COM
pany again arouses a good deal OF inter-
est In Milwaukee, owing to the fact tffat
the Wisconsin Central railway is also con.
trolled by Willard and his friends. Some
inter esting facts have transpired about
Viii ards relations with the Oregon &
Transcontinental company and the North.
ern Pacific railroad. When the money
market was tight and the company had
difficulty to meet the demands upon it. Mr..
Willard came forward, and, on a lew days'
notice furnished the Oregon Trancsonti-
mental company with SIS, 900, 900 which
relieved it OF all it's embarrassment, and
placed it on a firm footing. He
also found purchasers for the Ore.
gon Railway and Navigation boncas
thus furnishing to that company an
the money it required. This year Mr.. VIZ
lard took large part OF the Northern
Pacific third mortgage bonds. Mr.. Vii
lard's friends in Germany have not only
been willing to furnish large sums of money
for these but are ready to continue to do
SO, SO lar as may be required, and they
have purchased large amount OF the
Oregon Transportation company's stock.
with the expectation that Mr.. Willard will
hereafter be prominent in the manasement
OF the company.

Who Was the Forger?

Maris & Smith, brokers, OF No. 20 South
Third street Philadelphia, are the firm
whose name was used by the person or !,
persons who sent to Secretary FairchikJ Z
the bogus offer OF So. 265, 900 Of bonds or
the 18th. A member OF the firm said:
A letter was sent to Mr.. FairchiId which
contained an offer OF SIS, 600, 600 of 4 1.2
per cent bonds at 81. o. and 1865, 600 OF
4 per cent bonds at S1.27. Both we're ac-
cepted by Mr.. Fairchild. There was no
attempt on the part OF the forger who
ever he was. to initiate the firms sigma
ture, The first intimati on we had OF tho
matter was when Assist ant United States
Treasurer Page informed us that the
bonds offered by us had been accepted
by the government. l sent word to
Mr.. Page that we had not offered the
bonds to the government. An investiga-
tion then followed, and as soon as we saw
the letter we Informed Mr.. Page that
forgery had been committed. Detectives
were put upon the case at once, and al.
though a certain party is suspected OF the
crime, no proof OF his guilt has been discok r.
cred. The thing was done OF course TO-
stock iobbing purposes and the market,
as you know, improved after the announce
ment of the purchase. The government
can hold the forger, if he is apprehended,
and | suppose he can be Beverly punished.
We are now doing all we can to discover,
the guilty party.

Oneida county, N. Y, had shower
of beetles the other day, the area Wis
tied by this phenomenon being about
two m lies square. The beetles were OF
the June bug species and their coming
caused great excitement. Their de-
scent upon the town was similar to
the visitations OF the grasshoppers in
the Western states. Soon after dark
the air was filled with a buzzing noise
and the electric lights proved a great
attraction for the unusual visitors.
They swarmed around the lights and
street lamps in clouds. Thousand
were instantly killed in coming too
close to the lights, and the streets and
sidewalks were covered with dead
bugs. 1t is thought that the fire rag
ing on the mountains drove the bugs
from the wooded territory.

passage OF special acts in such cases would
have 2 dangerous tendency to encourage

relax wholesome discipline. The time al

val of bills expired in this case or the
