PHoTos OF THE WRECK.-While
in Albany last week representa-
tive of this paper was shown some
photographs of the late railroad
wreck near Albany. These photos
were taken by Crawford & Paxton,
of that city, and are fine speci-
mems of the art. 1t fsirly makes
ones blood run cold to look at the
position in which the ponderous
locomotive lies in the ditch and to
know that by its being SO placed
there caused the death of two
brave men-engineer and fire.
man. There are four different
views, two Immediately after the
wreck and two later on. The price
of each is only 25 cents.

He DIED.-1t will be remember
ed that there were couple of
s'rag- baby fellows in this city
last week enticing the boys to
spend their 10-cent pieces with
them in throwing at their
babies. They went from here
to Albany, where one of
them named John Crothers,
died on Monday evening. He
was buried by the county. His
former home was in Colusa, Cali.

The TRAMps.-Tramps find very
poor picking when they strike
Corvallis. During the past two
weeks there has been more OF
these fellows within the limits of
this city than at any time during
'S9. Last Friday three of this
gentry :'mosied" in and soon be-
gan their begging business.
Among the number was a one
legged fellow, heavy set and well
dressed, besides a dude tramp.
About II o'clock they were told
to get bed in the hotel, which
they did. The officers, supposing
they were all asleep, started on
their usual beats, and afterwards
discovered the one-leggeder down
near the incline. This looked
somewhat suspicious and he was
.jerked up and landed in the cooler,
when the next morning he, with
the others, was given leg bail out
of the city. There is one satisfac-
ton to be had out of Corvallis
police and it is that they are very
diligent in their efforts to keep
down the tramp nuisance and
thereby prevent incendiary fires.
A NEBRASKA LIAR.-The follow

ka City News editor knows about
the Willamette valley He was
out here with that states editors
last month. If his word is no bet
ter than the writeup below, he
ought to be fired from a printing
Office entirely; even "devlP'
could come nearer telling the
truth than this News man. See
what he says: s'Fhe sands along
the Willamette drift worse than
snow in Nebraska, and although
@sand fences are built, they seem
to do but little good. On each
side is bank after bank of sand,
which whirls, and drifts, and
eddies In the wind, making life
almost uncomfortable, and causing
the railroad no end of trouble.
For miles and miles the railroad
has men employed who do nothing
else than try to keep the track
clear from sand. but as our train
was stalled twice they proved in
a lequate to the task"

MORE SwINDLERs.-The fruit tree
swindlers are again intesting this
country. The scheme now in hand
is to furnish the farmer with SO
many dollars worth of trees-say
$5OO-free of charge. The farmer
is to plant and take proper care of
these trees and deliver to the agent
one-half their profits for ten or
twelve years. But il the farm is
sold during this time the trees are
to be paid for at the price agreed
upon; and as evidence of good
faith the farmer gives his bond to
this effect for the amount. So far
there is no fraud, but in a short
time man comes along, admires
the appearance of the farm and
tries to buy it. The price is finally
agreed upon, and the farmer is to
furnish a clear title to the land.
Of course the bond has been re-
corded. and to secure the sale is
promptly paid. And after the
fruit tree agent has been dispensed
with, the farmer turns to his sup
posed purchaser, but, alas! the bird
has flown, and he goes home a
sadder if not a wiser man, says the

TINDALL's GROVE, Aug. Is
The opening day of the Nj. Z. camp
meeting of the Rock Island district W as
all that could be desired. About fifty
families were on the ground last night
and ten or twelve preachers. Rev. M. A.
Head. the presiding elder. preached the
opening sermon from the text. Luke H.
10:
II We then being evil, know how to give good
gifts unto your children, how much more shall
your heavenly Father give the holy spirit TO them
that aek Him.
There was good congregation and all
in a cheerful mood. The evening sermon
was preached by Rev. j. ID. Smith, of
Woodruff. from Phil. Alb:
can do all things through Christ, who strength
ems me.
1t was good sermon and was followed
by warm exhortstion by Rev Gibson, of
Victoria, i'll. The rain at the be ginning
of the meeting kept the people from
coming in from the country, but there
was enough on the ground to make 6
good audience.
The boarding house is in running or
der, and providing good meals at rea,
sonable rate. The Milan bus men have
advanced the transportation rates to fif
ty cents each way.
Old MIR. and Mrs. Hurst, of Rock Island
have been on the ground since Saturday,
and are quite well. No one sick, and no
accidents, save the breaking of Rev.
Smiths wagon, upsetting his goods, and
injuring Mrs. Whitmore's arm.

mems excursion of yesterday. and who
as indicated by her remark, was i'm
pressed with the animated scene pre-.
sented every day along Second avenue
where the paving operation is in pro
gress. The fair creature who thus sen
sibly expressed herself. bat voiced the
sentiments OF many others from her city
who came to Rock Island yesterday to
have their eyes opened. Ali were de.
lighted with the pavement thus far put
in and were enthusiastic that there OWL
town should attempt a similar undertak-
ing.
Last evening the south side of the
pavement from Twentieth to Nineteenth
was rolled for the first time with q
wooden roller six feet wide with sever
men upon it, making a weight of from /,
500 to 1000 pounds. according to con-
tract. The Galesburg brick stood the
test so admirably and so highly satisfac-
tory to Co ntractor Atkinson and Supt
Nevins that it was determined to sub
nit it to a test with heavier iron roller
of 6,700 pounds. This pond erous ma
chine was rolled backward and
forward over the brick with the
gratifying result that it did moi
phase the surface in the least,
not the least depression being perceptible
anywhere. II was observed also that a
small pebble that the roller had passed
over was ground in two, while the brick
on which it was crushed showed scarcely
a scratch. This seemed to be convincing
proof as to the enduring elements of the
pavement as far as it has gone.
An experiment was made when the in
tersection of Second avenue and Nine
teenth street was reached which does no,
meet with general approval and which
will not be attempted further. The
brick pavement itself was rounded NJ
above the regular level across SeconJ
avenue as an unnecessary substitute fol
the old stone foot crossings, and at the
gutter second curbstone was planted 6
foot or more out from the regular curb
forming sluiceway. presumably to be
bridged over. The idea was simply to
give the public an opportunity to express
itself and as it is not popular the ordi-
nary grade of the street will be followed
hereafter. which is sufficient to carry the
water off. and there will be no particular
indication OF rise at the crossings which
will apparently be just as well. The
gradual slope of the pavement to the curb.
stone forms an all-sufficient gutter and
the pavement itself with uniform grade OF
walks, will be abundantly easy for pedes>

The paving is progressing rapidly be.
tween the car tracks and ON the south
side, and it is expected that work will
begin at Twentieth street on the north
side tomorrow or Monday.
