SOMEONE HAD BLUNDERED.
A Fatal Collision through Wtsun-
derstanding of Orders.

JAMESTOWN, OAK, May 5.-The first
section of the Northern west-bound linn
tied passenger train collided this morn
ing with freight, thirsy-six miles west.
The fremen and engineers of both trains
jumped. Engineer Bass, of the passen-
ger, broke his back and died almost
instantly. Fireman Keller, of the pas
senger, and fireman Kellum, of the
freight, escaped without serious
injuries. The postal Car Jumped the
track, and was a complete wreck. Both
clerks were badly injured. Chief Clerk
Slatterly, OF st. Cloud, Mimi, who was
appointed under Cleveland, had recently
received notification of his removal, and
was on his last run. His leg was broken
and he sustained internal injuries from
which he died. The other clerk,
Lounsberry, had his arm broken
in two places and was badly scalded.
Baggagemaster Nichols, of st. Paul, had
his arm broken in two places. The train
bore the usual number of passengers, but
none were injured. Both the engine
and mail and baggage cars left the track,
and were badly demolished. A number
of freight cars were entirely destroyed.
Three cars were loaded with Washington
Territory horses, which were killed out
right, or shot to relieve their eufferipgs.
Engineer Bass was about 80 years old,
and was engaged to be married in about
ten days to Miss Miller, who was terribly
shocked at the news of her lovers death.
aud is suffering from hemorrhage as the
result. Doubts of her recovery are en-
tertained. A misunderstanding of train
orders was the cause Of the collision.

AN ORANGE MAN DROWNED.
He Lost His Life In Trying to Re.
cover His Id eadgear.

SAN Francisco, May 5-Charles B.
McHenry, Assistant Manager of the
Rolla Il Watts Insurance Agency of this
city, was drowned early this morning.
While going on board the steamer South
Coast, with the Captain Of the steamer,
McHenry's hat blew off. In attempting
to recover it he fell into the water and was
drowned before assistance could reach
him.
McHenry was a native OF enc of the
Eastern States, and was 81 years of age.
His father, who is Presbyterian Min
lister, Rresides at Orange, Los Angeles
county, with his wife and daughter.
McHenry was we'll and favorably known
in this city, as we'll as all over the coast.
For several years he was special agent
of T. G. Grants agency of the North
British and Mercantile Insurance Com
pany. In that capacity he visited every
city on the Coast. About year ago he
was made assistant manager of Rolla &
Watts Insurance Company's agency,
which position be held OF the time of his
death. He had only returned from a
trip in the interior of the State on Friday
last. Later particulars seem to show
that, at the invitation of the captain.

this morning to Pleasanton to visit a

blowing very strong when the three
men reached the steamer, which
was at the Channel-street wharf.
Captain Yarneberg went on beard first
to fix the ladder so that McHenry and
Cole could get on board without danger
of misstep. A sudden wind caused Nc
Henry's hat to blow away, and
he made grab as if to catch
it. AS he did 80 he made step
forward, and bending over dived right
into the water, before he could recover
himself. In going down he must have
struck his head on the guards of the YES
sci and WAS knocked insensible. The
crew was awakened and lines and buoys
were thrown for the drowning man and
lights were procured, but his body never
rose to the surface Of the water.

THE Ninth.street bridge is now in air.
The approach from the west side is over
about quarter Of a mile Of wash sand.
On the east side, after passing the river
wash, tn line Of the road abuts against
a bluff one hundred feet high. A cut
has been be gun in this bluff, but it will
Iequir gre at deal of work to make a
road of a practicable grade through it..
Superintendent of Streets Morford made
exact estimates of the cost of grad
ing the bluff and finishing the APP
proaches from both sides, go as to make
the bridge serv iceable to the public, and
says it will cost IS, 600. If Mr.. Kerche-
val, or any other responsible citizen, will
take the contract to do the work for
1880, or anything like that sum, it
should be awarded to him. On the line
mapped out for Ninth street to the river,
the bluff disappears, and there is an easy
and unexp ensive grade. But we under
stand that the owners of land on that
line re fused to grant the right of way for
the street, and the bridge was therefore
located where it now stands. The city
treasury is not in position to justify the
experd tuIe of 5000 to make the ap-
proaches TO this bridge, especially as the
Seventh street bridge is passable, aud
accommodates the travel that would
otherwise come by Ninth street.

JUST think OF it! A single United
States Marshal in Oklahoma modestly
appointed seven hundred deputies, and
every mothers son of them, including
their chief, took advantage Of their posi-
tons to grab quarter-sections of land.
They were on the spot as officials to see
that the honest settlers were not de-
frauded; and they saw to it that they
we're not defrauded by anybody but them.
selves. There is no way in which the
outraged settlers can be righted; but
there ought to be a way in which these
perjured land-robbers could be adequately
punished.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALDl
BosToN. May 5.-A number of promi-
nent citizens Of Boston, who, for long
time, have been considering the question
of how to go to work to practically and
lastingly benefit the poor evicted tenants
in Ireland, have united upon plan for
carrying out their purpose. Full details
of it cannot be given out, but they will
probably be developed in the course of a
few weeks. They feel that the hope of
accomplishing anything lies in the posi-
bility of getting HARMLESS people inter-
ested in some kind of industrial pur-
suit. The idea is to establish
in one of the poorest districts factory in
which evicted tenants could find employ
ment. 1t is proposed, therefore, to in
corporate a stock company, selling the
shares in all parts of the United States
where there are natives of Ireland or
friends of Ireland's cause to buy them.
The men who are promoting the scheme
recognize the fact that the only way for
them to attain success in it is to show a
personal interest by going across and get
ting the factory fairly started. There
would be no tilibustering in the party,
and it would be guaranteed that
there would be no molestation of the
English management of the unfortunate
Islands affairs. As soon as the plans
are perfected, however, they will be sub
mit:ed to Parnell, Davitt and others for
their approval. 1t is proposed to manu-
facture boots, shoes, clothing and under
wear. There is already an underwear
factory at Mullingar, which is run upon
this principle. 1t is in very furnishing
condition. Some CT the stock is held by
Boston friends of the Irish cause, who, in
subscribing, felt that they were doing
more for their kindred than if they had
merely given money to the League fund.

A Missing D0ctor.

CHICAGO, May 5.-Dr. P. H. Cronin, a
local physician, somewhat widely known
among the members of the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians and other Irish socie-
ties, disappeared last night in mysteri-
GUS manner. His friends express the
belief that he has been foully dealt with.
A stranger took the doctor off last night
it is related, ostensibly to attend to an
injured man in Lakeview. Since then
Cronin has not been seen, and inquiry
fails to bring to light any injured man
such as he is described. Today a
trunk was found on the prairie near
Lakeview containing a mass of bloody
cotton, similar to that which DR.. Cronin
carried in his surgeons case, and some
hair, said to resemble in color the doc
tors locks. A two-column interview with
DR.. Cronin in printed form, prepared by

continued throughout the night. There
were heavy showers to-day, hail falling
several times. The farmers say the rain
will lodge the heavy summer fallow
grain, but will be of great benefit to the
late wheat. Up to o'clock this alter
noon the rainfall for the storm amounted.
to seventy-three hundredths of an inch.
HoLLIsTER, May Brain commenced
falling heavily this morning. Seventy
hundredths of an inch has fallen. The

much good.
POMONA. May 5.-A light rain has
fallen throughout the Pomona Valley
today. There are indications of more
rain tonight.
SANTA BARBARA, May Sit has been
raining all day. About one inch has
fallen, doing much damage to the hay
crop.
SACRAMENTO, May 5.-Owing to the
heavy rains the races of the Capital City
Club, which were to have begun here
tomorrow, have been postponed until
Tuesday. No baseball game was played
here to-day, owing to the train.
MoDsTo, May 5-Early this morning

dredths of an inch fell up to O'Clock. A
small amount of hay is damaged, but
the rain is of much benefit to the sum-
mer fallow and winter sown grain.
VIsALIA, May 5.-Half an inch of rain
fell here to-day. While it will benefit
the late sown grain, considerable damage
is done to the hay crop.
BAKERSFIELD, May 5.-This afternoon
rain commenced falling. The indica-
tons are that it will continue through
the night.
FRESNO, May Sit commenced rain
ing this morning, and rained steadily up

fallow grain. The late sown grain has
suffered greatly from the hot winds of
the past ten days.
SANTA Cruz, May 5.-Heavy showers

Attempted AssassinatiOn.

ST. LOUIS, May 5.-The Republics Lit
tie Rock special says: A private letter
from Morrillton states that an attempt to
assassinats ex-Sheriff Harry Coblentz was
made, late Saturday evening, on the street
in that place by Oby Bentley.
only meagre details have been
learned. Coblentz, who is assisting
in the prosecution Of the election cases,
and who had been here attending the
Federal Court left for home Saturday
morning, Bentley leaving Friday. 1t
seems that when Coblentz got off the
train at Morrellton on Saturday Bentley
appeared on the street with a double
barrelled shot gun, and was about to cut
down on him when Sheriff Shelby and
others caught hold of the weapon and
prevented, probably, another tragedy.
Bad blood between the two men, on &C
count of Coblentz's efforts to convict
certain parties charged with election
frauds, is the cause of the trouble.
Serious trouble is feared.

Crazv and Iurderous Sire.

CHICAGO, May 5.-Mm. Lansor, in a
fit of insane frenzy jumped out of bed
this morning, took his baby, six months
old, and beat it's brains out, and at
tempted to murder his wife, and then
cut his own throat with a table knife.
His wife had jumped from bed
when the husband arose. Seeing his
purpose, she tried to save the infant, but
he caught it up and beat out its brains
against the wall. Then, selling knife,
the man closely pursued the woman
from the house. The police were sum-
moned, and found him in a room pacing
up and down, singing lullaby to the
corpse of the infant, which he held in
his arms. Blood was streaming from a
wound in his arm, inflicted in at attempt
at self-destruction. Lauson is machinist,
who, before his marriage, year ago,
was a heavy drinker. Centennial day he
became intoxicated again for the first
time since his wedding, and from that
day on he has been in drunken condi-
ton. The Doctors say he is hopeless
lunatic, and fear that the mind also of
nis wife is destroyed as the result OF this
mornings shock.

wife, Fannie, and then killed himself.
Gilmore and his wife have only been
married a few months, and their

elopement. In a few weeks the
troubles of the pair began, and they
finally ended in Gilmore's leaving his
wife. Soon after the separation the
young man began to call on Mrs. Gill
more. 1t is supposed that this was the
immediate cause Of the tragedy, for Gill
more was heard to say that if he could
not have Fannie, no one else should.

A Vety Gratuitous Murder.

GALENA, Ills, May ga cold-blooded
murder was committed near here today,
the victim being Professor II. Matchett,
founder of the academy at Hanover, in
this county. Professor Matchett and
Henry Prisk were riding in. buggy
when, at turn in the road, George
Skene, son OF Supervisor VIM. Skene,
stepped out from the side tf the road and
fired two shots, one killing Professor
Matchett and the other wouading Prisk
in the arm. The murderer made his
escape. The only reason assigned for
the ass assination is that Matchett had
objected to Skene's attentions to his sis
tiers. Lynchiug is probable if Skene is
caught.

men-of-war recently wrecked at that

Mataafa forbade his followers to assist

there for several years; then it was
moved farther out. The stock in that
building paid from the start.
1t is SO gilt.edged now that it is not on
the market. 1t has not only paid divi-
dends from the legitimate income from
the building, but it has made the invest
ment profitable one by the advance in
the value of the land upon which the
present structure stands, Notwithstanding
the Institute was very tardy in securing
ground OF its own. We have no doubt
that an exposition building here would pay
the stockholders better even than the
San Francisco experiment has paid
its stockholders. A wellsele cted site
purchased at present prices will in a
few years quadruple in value, in the
meantime earning an income that will
afford dividends. The stock will increase
in value with the growth of the city, and
will probably reach par in a compare
lively short time. 1t is, therefore,
not asking people to make a
sacrifice to invite them to sub
scribe to this stock. 1t is asking them
to put ten dollars up to take one hundred
down, as well as giving, at the same
time, the interests of he city and Sec
ton push forward that will be of meal
culable benefit to everybody. Let us
hope that the Subscription Committee
will be met with liberality that will
soon secure us an Exposition building
that will be hereafter pointed to as one
of the most notable monuments to the
enterprise and public spirit of our
people.
