THE RECENT. lLROAD WRECK.
Confession of One of the Parties.

ALBANY, Or, July 31.-A remark
able confession was nnade in this city
to-day, which reveals beyond ques-
ton the identity of three men who
wrecked the overland train at Leban-
on junction switch on Sunday night,
and has led to the arrest of all three
on charge of murder.
On Monday morning after the acci-
dent, William A. Hill, who has been
working in the harvest field for
Thomas Froman, four miles from this
city, at Froman's station on the
Lebanon branch. called at the Office
of DIR. W. 81. Davis to have dislo-
Gated arm set. While under the in
huence of chloroform he talked about
the wreck, and said he did not open
the switch. but knew who did,
and would die rather than give them
away.
His mutterings were al the time
supposed to be only rawlings resulting
from chloroform, but on returning to
the doctor to-day to have his arm
dressed he appeared uneasy, and
asked the doctor if had heard any
thing about who broke open the
switch.
The doctor said: Nothing except
what you told me while under the in
huence OF chloroform."
This frightened him and he made
q clean confession. He said himself
and two brothers, Fred and Herbert
Rolf, left Albany partially intoxi-
Gated, for Froman's. On passing the
Lebanon switch, the younger Rolf
brother stopped and tried to break
the lock on the switch. Failing to do
this he unscrewed the bolt and re-
moved the switch bar.
Hill said he and the older Rolf en-
deavored TO dissuade him, and went
off and left him at work. He after
wards overlook them, and showed
the bolt taken out.
The three men, Hill said, then
went on to Froman's leaving the
switch open.
A constable went into the country
this afternoon and arrested the Rolf
brothers, where they were at work,
at place indicated by Hill. These
two were brought to this city this
evening on a charge of murder. They
tell conflicting stories, the oldest de-
nying the story, and the younger
saying that they stopped at the
switch and were cracking hazelnuts
with rocks -
Hill says his parents live at As
toria, and the Rolf boys live at
Sweet Home. Hill looks like a
tramp.
The examination will be held in
Justice Humphreys court at two
o'clock tomorrow. 1t is expected
that the Southern Pacific company
will send an attorney from Portland
to assist in the prosecution of the
men.
Much excitement prevails over the
arrests, and railroad employees and
others talk openly of lynching the
men.

THE DREAD OF DEATH.


From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
DeQulncey has spoken rather inaccu-
rately of the dread OF death, saying: ait
annihiates all distinctions and de9rades
the greatest of men to the level of the
poor beetle that we tread on, exhibits
human nature in its most Abject and
humiliating attitude" IT'S true that be-
fore death all creatures are equally help
less, but 1t is questionable il the brute
creation contemplates the approac ching
dissolution or speculates on the pros pee
tive future. But this awe in man is often
equaled, sometimes overcome, by his
philosophic curiosity; as in the case of
one OF our presidents-which one was 1t /!
who in his last moment TRANQUILITY
said: "And this-ip--death n The gamut
OF sensation and experience was now
fully run.
But man is a fighting animal. Death
humiliates him because 1t Is his mas ter.
lie is before II AFFECT because II Is mercl-
less and urconquerable, because he is It's
helpless victim. In the unrellecting saw
ape this dead is, perhaps, very often OF
identical elements with the instructive
clinging Of the helpless, terror-stricktn
brute; but very often, also, is there in the
savage an instructive dread which over

When Tie blood of youth cUur Is hotly
through the veins, when life is new when
fresh vlgor iniuses every nerve and iibrr,
when ply existence Is a pleasure, then
the shadow OF death in the imagination
approaches self, powerless, awe -strirlSt Il,
trembling self, aud in Its first approaches
we are appalled, and Overpowered. But
this strong and jubilant lie cannot be
yielded. 1t is too intense In its delights,
too everlasting in the endurance OF It's
joys, too infinite in its prot poets, too ex-
allied in its hops and ideals to be ever cut
oil; death then can be but transition
where the soul becomes conscious of
limitless EXPANSION ami eternity, and the
refuge Of this life-lOver for lies cake il
seized of the immortal hope and shall
live forever. Thus for this state OF iu-
tense lite the dread of death Is somewhat
ameliorated by the iaith that all which is
essential and good is permanent.
Very pertinent here is word from the
English opium eater: "That vast power
aud possessions make a mau ehameiully
afraid OF dying; and am convinced that
many of tho most intrepid adventures,
who, by fortunately being poor, enjoy the
full use Of their natural courage, would,
If at the very Instant of going into action
news were brought to them that they
had unexpectedly succeeded to au estate
in England of $50, 900 per year, feel their
dislike to bullets considerably sharpcned,
aud their efforts at perfect equGnimity
and seli-possession propor;ionaly ditii-
cult"
In the next stage the powers of life
give way, and man experiences chat
WEAKNESS OF earth which nature intended
to deaden the sorrow OF the parting
hour" The desire of life becomes sati-
ated. Those pleasures which once en-
wrapt the soul and held the heart their
Gevotee are dislasteful memories. Hope
and joy once, they are now satire and
ridicule, and their hot and ieYered dupe
now longs "for the C oil, delicious kiss OF
death" Those pleasures and those trea-
sures viii, h iascinate IN the morning re-
linquish their weary hold at evening, aud
dusty, worn, iucapacitated man hears
"with joy the rustling garments of the
night" Friends have gone; loved ones
departed; all that IS dear is beyond the
vel. Nothing to do, nothing to love,
nothing to enjoy; neither power for work
nor capacity tor pleasure, nor spirit for
hope, there is not any desire for lite and
h. nce no dread OF death, and that once
seen as a bitter and invlucible foe We
grasp to our bosom US the last most faith
iul friend.
