The story printed in yesterdays
HERALD about the disappearance OF
pretty Ida Depping on the same day
that the absent Santa Fe clerk, James
Dunn, left the city, caused considerable
comment among those who knew the
young railroad man. The mystery, how
ever, of the joint fitting is no further
explained.
From waiter girl at the Westminster
hotel, who knew Ida Depping when she
was employed in the same place, it was
learned yesterday that Ida had left the
San Francisco train at Saugus and gone
to Santa Barbara, where she registered
at hotel, assuming the name of girl
whom she had known in this city. She
is said to have been alone and is re-
ported to be in Santa Barbara at IRE
sent.
From some of Dunn's former friends
another story was obtained. They claim
that Dunn and the Depping girl went to
San Francisco together, and that he
abandoned her there, shipping before
the mast on a vessel bound for Liver
pool. The HERALD reporter informant
could not say what had become OF the
girl. She had not returned to her poor
old mother, who is heartbroken over her
hayward daughter, and her fate could
only be guessed at.
George Martin, the defaulting freight
clerk OF the Santa Fe, it is now said,
went from here to Ensenada. from
which place he made his way to Mazat-
Ian, and thence to Central America.

The great register is printed so far as
to take in the city enrolment. There
are 1858 names on the list. Two years
ago the city electors numbered IL 1874,
for the presidential election. Besides
that, there was large number added
by way of an appendix. This will be
done this year too, but twill not be a
large list. There are about 5000 electors
enrolled to date in the country, the total
falling short of $4,000, and when the
books are closed, next Saturday night,
there will hardly be $4,000 on the

MAIL CARRIERS
Who Were Discovered in League With
'Green Goods" Men.

"Green Goods" Men.
A new phase of tho green goods swim
die has come to light through investiga.
tions instituted by Chief Post-office In
spectOr Rathbene, stationed at Wash
ington. He learned that many post
office attaches, principally letter-car-
riers, were in collision with green goods
men. A rule strictly enforced is that
no carrier shall deliver letters that bear
suspicious addresses to the places to
which they are directed, and the letter
sorters are instructed to mark such TX
D." which commits them for examina-
ton by the proper authorities Chief
Rathbone went to New York and con-
ferred with local inspectors. Investiga-
ton convinced the inspectors that if
teen letter carriers at least were impli-
Gated. In the cases of soven of them
the proof was conclusive that they were
in league with the green goods swim
dlers, and their names were sent to
Washington with a recommendation to
POstmaster-General Wanamal1er that
they be dismissed. Some of the accused
confessed that the swindlcrs paid them
five dollars per week not to carry out
their instructions. In some cases a let
ter-carrier would receive such weekly
stipends from three or four different
green goods swindlers. The names of
these carriers are withheld pending ac-
ton in their cases at Washington. They
were caught by means of a large num-
Der of decoy letters addressed to the
headquarters of various green goods
men. These letters were delivered,
while they should have been returned

Son-in-Law Stone Accused by the Son OF
Being a Party to 1t, and Sues for $780,
600 Damages.
Three damage suits for 500, 900 each,
were begun in the circuit court Chica-
go, Tuesday afternoon, by Albert J.
Stone-the first against Mrs Celia L.
Smell, the second against her hus-
band, Albert J. Smell, and the last
against both wife and husband. For
the last two or three days the news
papers have been publishing commu-
nications and interviews with defend
ants, in which, Stone claims, are strong
insinuations that he is the murderer of
his father-in-law, the multi millionaire,
Amos j. Smell. Defendants are the son
and daughter-in-law of the dead man.
The attorneys in the case do not claim
that the charges arc made openly, but
they insist that any one reading the ar
ticlcs can not help but conclude that tho
defendants accuse Stone of tho horri-
bic crime for which the ex-cOnvict,
TascOtt is supposed to be in hiding.
One Of tho insinuations is that the
murder was committed by two men, one
of whom was shot, and that at about
that time Stone was limping around.
Another was that the decd was commit
ted with a motive; that the will of the
murdered man was missing, and in this
connection Stones namo is mentioned
as having married the daughter of the
dead man. Some of the articles are
said to have been inspired by Mrs.
Smell, some by hor husband, and others
by both, and this is the reason given for
bringing three suits.

Four Killed, Nearly a Hundred Injured,
Some of Whom VIII Die.
Shortly after half-past o'clock We'd
nesday night the overland Southern Pa
cific passenger train. southbound, went
through long trestle over lake Labish,
five miles from Salem, Ore. The tres
tie must have given away as soon as the
engine struck it, and the train and tres
tie went down together. The engine
was overturned and half buried in the
mud, and following this were the tender,
mail, baggage and express cars, smOk-
ing car and tourist sleeper. Engineer
John McFadden, fireman Tim Neal,
and an unknown man was killed. The
frst-class day coach, which was saved
from going over by align ting with the
front end on an old tree, was broken of
about even with the trestle. The seats
in the car were every one broken to
splinters. and the partitions in the car
were broken into kindling wood. Then
followed the smoker, the seats in which
were nearly all broken. Next was the
tourist sleeper, in which were some
twenty-five or thirty passengers. Of
this number only three were unin-
jured. Next was the Pullman
car Alatia, with seventeen passengers,
and only three escaped without injury.
The next and last car was the Pullman
Rosoburg, in which were fifteen passen-
gers. Only four Of these escaped with
slight bruises. In the smoker and dav
coach every seat was occupied. The
mail, express and baggage cars over
turned. The total number of deaths
from the accident viii probably reach
as high as ten, as many have sustained
what it is feared will provo serious in
ternal injuries. The body Of a tramp
was taken out Of the wreck, making four
dead recovered.
