AT THE STATE PENITENTTARY.
Edith Holmes Arrives To-day for One
Year and is the Only Female
Prisoner, Etc.

Edith Holmes, the young girl
who was sentenced from Multno-
nah county to the penitentiary, for
larceny, arrived this morning. She
is brought here for term of one
year. A reporter of this paper visit
ed her at the penitentiary, to-day,
she had nothing to say to the
public and did not care about talk
ing to the reporter very much. She
is a girl about twenty years of age
and quite tall. She looked very
pale, and when brought to the
prison she was crying bitterly. The
reporter asked her if it wasn't a hard
place to be and she stated that 1T
was, as she was the only female
prisoner i'm the place at this time.
She was placed in cell on the lower
floor in the fourth ward, but Will
he removed to another cell soon.
She is very ignorant looking girl
and looks quite pitiful behind the
the prison bars. 1t has not been
decided as yet what she will be
placed at But it is more than like
iy that she will be given some light
work which will serve to occupy her
mind.
Frank Howard, the first man who
cut his arm Off at the prison last
spring, is improving nicely, he is at
work but the arm is not entirely y well
yet. Curtis, the second man who
,ut his left arm, is also improving.
Smell, the colored man who
cut Off his fingers late
ly was interviewed. HIS fingers
are very sore and while
ther. Captain w. w. Saunders
came up to dress the wound. The
self-amputating prisoners are placed
in the dungeon, each man having
his feet ironed together with an
iron weighing fourteen pounds.
1t is likely that one more OF the
prisons will try the racket as the
dungeon is worse on them than the
work at the foundry.

A PHOTOGRAPIiiC EXnIBITION
If any display in an industrial eX
hibition ought to be artistic II If
that of an art photographer. Cher
rington's cXquislt booth in one
corner of the art gallery at the State
Fair left nothing to be desired. II
was the most arlistically draped and
tastefully arranged booth in the en-
tire fair. The silkcn and plush
hangings and the dainty arrange
ments were but the shrine for photo
graphic work which cannot he eX-
celled on this coast. Every style of
portrait was to he seen and found n
place somewhere in the booth. The
pictures of several wcll-knOwn so
ciety ladies showed the excellence of
Mr.Chcrringt0n's work. In enlarged
work in India ink and crayon, as
well us IN colOrs, there Were several
specimens of artistic work. The
panel portraits, imperials and cabi-
nets were finished with great care
and bore the imprint of the artists
touch. The pastels were finished
and life-likc, and every portrait cX-
hibited was n worthy representative
of Chcrringlon's fine photograph
gallery up stairs in the new Bank
block on Commercial street.

THE Moron LINE.-The survey
ors for the Salem and Silverton
motor line camped on the banks OF
Pudding river last night and will
to-day try and locate a crossing over
said river The place that is the
most convenient and best adapted
lies about three-quarters Of mile
below the county bridge across the
river. The survey has been definitly
settled up to this point, and when
the crossing Is located there the
grounds beyond will be very easy
TO locate. More Than likely the
permanent survey will he com
pleted by the latter part Of next
week, when the plans and speciii-
cations, together with the proper
contracts will be drawn up and let
then work will be commenced i'm
mediately on the construction OF
this line which, when first pro-
posed, was almost ignored by n few
who have never expected to see the
country improve from nn cNcrlhst-
ing wilderness. II will not be
many weeks until SaIemitcs can
run out to Silyerton, make II busi-
ness or friendly call and be back in
the city all inside of 10 minutes.
Good for the Motor Line.

A NARROW ESCAPE.-The Uni
versity had narrow escape from
what might have been serious fire,
last evening. 1t was caused by the
explosion of lamp in the bath
room. There was no one in the
room at the time but it was dis
covered by w. f.. Perry, who hap
pened to be passing hy, and gave
the alarm, and, by the prompt work
of II few students, it was eXtinguish-
ed. Had it been discovered fifteen
minutes later, the woodshed, to
which the bathroom Is attached,
and about 200 cords Of wood, could
scarcely have been saved, nor the
University.

CAVALRY EQUIPMENTS. - Adju-
tant-General j. G.. Shofner has re-
ceived notice that in answer to the
requisition of Gov. Pennoyer, forty
sets of cavalry equipmcnts-saddles,
brides, spurs and blankets-have
been shipped to bin. This will out
fit the Sheridan cavalry company in
fine style, as they now have good
carbines, and ii Is probable that they
will receive new sabers and revolvers
next year. Equipments have also
been shipped to finish out the 400
extra guns received under the Her
mann bill. The equipments con-
sist of bayonets, scabbards. cartridge
boxes and belts and gun slings. BY
and by the militia of Oregon will be
thoroughly equipped, and can act as
saucy as some Of her sister states.

BOUND HIM OVER. The trial of
A. G.. Roberts, of Polk county, under
the charge of the larceny of II horse,
as was stated in last evenings jour
NAL, proved to be strongly con-
tested one. Both sides were ably rep
resentediby attorneys Geo. q. Bing-
ham, assited by G. II. Burnett for
the prosecution and Tilmon Ford
and =. II. darcy as the defendants.
Some sixteen witnesses were eX-
amincd and many strong points
brought to bear on the case. Judge
Goodell, after carefully weighing
the evidence of both sides decided to
bind Roberts over, To await the
action of the grand jury, in the sum
of S400 which was promptly given.
The case no doubt when il comes up
again will Toe of considerable interest
for II simple criminal ease as many
strong points are to bc raised in the
case,

p. Elliott was smiling all over ut
his good luck, but he had II narrow
escape from smiling the other way,
says the Oregon City Enterprise
The night previous he had in his
purse over 500, and rs he was going
back on the hill IN the evening he
placed his purse and money in the
parlor stove for safe keeping. While
he was absent his wife kindled fire
in the stove, but rs the money was
in hard coin it escaped with but a
scorching. If 1t had been paper
money his 500 would now be ashes.

have passed since the government which
our forefathers founded was formally
organized. At noon on the 30th day of
April, 1889. in the city OF New York, and
i'll the presence of an assemblage of
heroic men, whose patriotic devotion
had led the Colonies to victory and in
dependence, George Washington took the
oath of Office as Chief Magistrate of the
newborn republic. This impressive act
was preceded at 8 O'Clock in the morn
ing, in all the churches of the city, by
prayer for Gods blessing on the govern
ment and it's first president

Not so with st. Augustine. They gave
the association the cold shoulder, con-
tributed nothing towards their enter
tainment and failed to show them COM
mon courtesy, wi ich would have been
expected from them by any visiting
organization. AS result St. Augustine
will not secure the benefits generally in

not advise immigration, the Investment

terms of St. Augustine as winter and

when questioned concerning their silence
they reply, "Our advertising rates are
