Attention il called by the attorney for the
District to the law which forbids the blowing
Of steam whistles within the city limits, and APP
plication il made to the case OF locomotives.
Fears are expressed in some quarters that If
this law is enforced the people Of the sections
traversed by the railroads will be deprived of
the only warning which they receive to get out
of the way of the locomotive and escape sud-
den death. II, however, the laws which pro-
vide for the protection Of grade crossings and
for q slow rate Of speed within the city
limits were observed, there would very
rarely be any one upon the tracks at
time and place which would require
She warning of q whistle to enable him
70 escape dan ger. Certain streets should be
10 improved in the railroad-traversed sections
that all temptation would be removed from the
pedestrian to make use OF the hard, dry rail-
road track as q highway. The crossings should
be so guarded, as the law requires, and the
speed at which the trains within the city
limits approach these crossings should be so
slow, as the law also requires, that security to
persons temporarily upon the tracks at these
points will be assured. Then there will be no
occasion for the whistle of the locomotive, no
necessity to reduce the evils Of certain infrac-
tons of the law by permitting another in
fraction, and quietus may safely be put upon
the shrill-voiced engine.

The members Of the prohibitory league Of
Pennsylvania have acted as sensible people do
in the pursuit Of other objects, but as a great
many otherwise sensible people do not do
among prohibitionists. They have in effect
assented to the principle that a half-e-loss is
better than no bread. State prohibi-
tion having been denied, they will work for
local option, under which the score of
prohibition counties in Pennsylvania may
abolish the hquor-seller. On the same princi-
pie in very large cities where prohibition can
not be secured under local-option system or
enforced under any system, they would logi-
cally work for stringent regulation Of the
liquor traffic under high-icense system, and
the fullest enforcement of the law. In all
these systems the law contains an element of
prohibition--the greatest in each case that the
local community viii endure.

Washington is to have a procession and q
crowd Of visitors of inaugural proportions next
month. Inaugural reviewing stands are to be
erected. Residents along the line of march
will doubtless remember these things and du-
plicate the decorations of Inauguration. The
capacity of Westinghouse as entertainers will
be put to fresh test. Not only is the event
worthy of the heartiest hospitality, but pre-
liminary discovery will be made of what the
capital can do in the handling of such crowds

Capt. symons is intelligent, energetic and Ell

errors of judgment in his decisions upon some
questions. As the requirements of his position
have compelled him frequently to choose be-
tween conflicting local interests and disappoint
somebody he has not entirely escaped criticism,
and nobody in his place could do SO. But the
community generally is more than satisfied
with his services, and will regret his transfer to

MARINE NEWS AND NOTES.

The British ship Groom of Eng
land, previously reported, CANA in
yesterday.
The Eclipse is doing a good busi-
ness between here and Gray's river
carrying passengers and freight.
The steamer Vide West, which has
done years OF service on the Columbia
river, is being remodeled and will be
fitted up as mammoth steam barge.
which will be used for slow freight
work on the Sound.
The steamer city Of Topeka, which
has been in Oakland creek for two
years past, since its withdrawal from
the Mexican route, has been sold to
the Oregon Improvement company for
$4,000. The vessel will be immedi-
ately put in first-class condition, and
be placed on the route between the
Sound ports and Alaska. She will
leave San Francisco for the north
about November2 The Corona, up
on being relieved, will return to that
port, and will be assigned to one of
the coast routes. Captain David
Walker. of the wrecked steamer
AncOn, will command the Topeka.
The Oregon Pacific Company is sued
to recover $4,000. this being the pur-
chase price of the steamer City of Pa
lGtkQ afterwards named the Eastern
Oregon. The steamer was purchased
of the Florida steamship company,
they representing that the steamer
was capable of making so many knots
an hour and to consume only so
many tons of coal When the vessel
reached San Francisco she was imme-
diately placed on the Yaquina route
and made but a few trips generally
from one to two days behind time and
the manner in which she consumed
coal was a caution. The Florida COM
pany was notified of this fact and the
steamer taken from the route and has
been lying idle for nearly two years.

Charged With Cutting Timber.

o. l.. Stanley, CT Lake county,
charged with cutting timber on gov
ernment lands had trial in the U.
S. circuit court yesterday. The COM,
plant alleged that between the dates
of July, 1879, and 1886, Stanley had
at various times entered upon the
timber land and cut therefrom enough
trees to make over 100000 feet of
lumber, which was worth on the
whole S13, ,142. During his examina.
ton defendant admitted that he had
cut timber sufficient to make 100000
feet of lumber, which was worth
81 per thousand, and that he knew
the land on which the timber was
cut was government land. The jury
were inclined to tax the damages at
only the value of the standing timber.
but the court instructed them that as
defendant had admitted that he knew
the land on which the timber was cut
was public land, he had committed a
willful trespass and they must find
damages for the value of the lumber
made from the timber. They accord
ingly returned a verdict in favor of
plaintiff for S3,500.-OregOniGll, 2f.

vice for fishing by electricity. A tiny
motor worked by pocket battery has
been invented to run the reel in trout
fishing and to play the fish until it is
tired out. 1t seems hardly fair for
the fish, but it will save the strength of
the angler, and very likely in time the
machine viii be perfected so that the
fisherman can remain at home reading
Izaak Walton while the electric con-
trivance does the whole thing. In
deed, 1t is difficult to see why it may
not be sent by express to the far
away salmon streams while the ang-
Ter remains inexpensively and rest
full in town. Truly, this is a wonder

A SCENE OF HORROR.
The Dreadful Fate Of John E. Feeks

The following is a description of the
death of ineman John E. Feeks, from
an electrical shock on October IL,
taken from the New York World:
With the utmost deliberation the
man began his work. In his right
hand he held the 'pliers." he had al
ready selected the wire he intended
to cut. 1t was fastened to the ex-
treme end of the crossbar, and was
therefore several feet away from
where he was hanging. He was forced
to reach out and catch the wire in his
right hand, clinging meanwhile to the
crossbar with his left hand and left
arm.
The wire slipped in between the
middle finger and the ring finger.
There was one quick convulsive move
ment, shiver through every fiber, as
though the man was about to spring
straight out into the air, and a cry
went up from the little group on the
corner.
And then there was enacted scene
the like of which no man in this city
has ever seen before; whose awful
horror will be burned and stamped
into the memories of all who saw it
for many long year to come.
When the man with that first move
ment sought to fly from the mysterious
and deadly current which was pour
ing into him and passing through
every fibre, his head was instinctiyely
raised. There were two wires run
ming parallel to him and just above
him. When he threw his head up it
passed through these wires. One of
them fastened itself under his chin
and the other was pressed against his
mouth. A tiny blue flame like that
which candle emits when the wick
has been burned to the socket and the
breath of dying girl can extinguish
it, hoyered about the right hand of the
man. 1t was followed by a puff of
smoke. There was the same tiny blue
fame lowering for moment about
the left foot, also followed by puff
of smoke.
The man was roasting to death!
1t seemed but a moment till the
corner group was lost in sea of faces,
all turned in horror to where the
CHASTITY tragedy was being enacted.
Thousands blockaded Chambers
street from Broadway to a block be-
yond Centre street. From all the
side streets within view there peered
out other faces thousands upon thou
sands.
1t all looked like a nightmare
grisly, horrible. ghastly, unreal.
There hanging in mid air, lay the
smoking body. The untold agony OF
the face you might even see from the
street below, looking straight ahead
with eyes which saw nothing, the rigid
form with the burning hand, like G
torch, the outlines never moving
Some men cried out The horror was
more than they could bear.
Every few moments there came
a flickering blue flame shifting along
the body, and always followed by the
smoke, which told the hushed thou
sands the dreadful thing which was
going on under their very eyes. Every
moment the crowd grew greater. Every
housetop for blocks on either side
held its awestruck spectators. There
was time enough for all to get gooC
view, for the man lay there with tha
awful look of mortal agony on his
face, slowly burning within that net
work of red-hot wires, for forty-fiye
minutes, while every detail was
watched by countless thousands o.
his fellOWmen.
