A BRILLIANT WoMAN.-Mrs. s.
B. Pettingill, whose husband is on
the editorial staff of the Tacoma
Ledger, died q few days ago and was
brought to Portland for burial. Mrs.
Pettingill, whose maiden name was
Sue Harry Claggett, was an exceed
ingly brilliant woman, and of very
brainy stock. She was a daughter
of Thomas w. Claggett, native of
Maryland, who was for many years
a prominent democratic politician,
writer and speaker in southeastern
Iowa. He occupied the district
court bench some years, and was an
able lawyer, but was best known as
the editor of the Keokuk Constitu-
ton, whose utterances during the
early days Of the rebellion were so
decidedly in sympathy with the
south that his press was thrown into
the Mississippi and he narrowly es-
capped being mobbed. Judge Clag-
gett was man ofstrong convictions,
fearless and incisive language, strict
integrity, and noble, kind heart.
About 1867, Harry" as she was
familiarly called, earned quite lit
erary reputation and one of her
novels was very successful. After
her fathers death, about 1870, she
took charge of the daily and weekly
Constitution and handled the office
very creditably. She afterward
came to Idaho, where two of her
brothers resided, one of whom,
w. H, has held federal appoint
ments there and been delegate to
congress. He is now mentioned as
probable candidate for u. S. sena-
tor from that new state. This
brother was the only republican
in the family. Since marrying Mr..
Pettingill, the deceased has not APP
apeared much publicly in print, but
1t Is generally believed she was the
inspiration of much of her husbands
writing.

A PEAR STORY. The pear trees in
and about this city with their bur.
dens of luscious fruits are a perfect
marvel except to old citizens who
have witnessed the same phenome-
non year after year. One that prob
ably takes the cake for a young thing
is a Bartlett in Frank w. Martins
yard. He has just picked two bush
els to keep it from breaking under its
load, and estimates that three
fourths remain on the tree. It's size
can be imagined from Mr. Martins
statement that he can stand on the
ground and reach seven-eights of the
fruit. Generally speaking, the pear
fruit in this vicinity is not as large
and handsome as it would be if a
little attention was given to thin
ming early in the season. However,
it is mighty handsome and beats the
world just the same.--McMinnville
Reporter.

JUST ESCAPED DEATH, The fol-
lowing thrilling scene is related by
Fridays Oregonian: A remarkable
escape of child from sudden and
fearful death, is to be chronicled.
The accident occurred yesterday af-
ternoon on Sixteenth street in the
northern end of the city. A baby
carriage, with child in it, was left
standing for few minutes on the
sidewalk at corner of the street in
front of grocery store. Near the
buggy was pair of scales. A horse
attached TO cart of some sort, took
fright, and came tearing down the
street. The scared animal made a
straight shoot for the baby carriage.
Before anything could be done, the
horse and cart were at the spot
where the child lay. Eyerybody's
heart stood still, for instant death
seemed inevitable, But just before
reaching the buggy, the horse collid-
ed so violently with the scales that
they were smashed to pieces, One
Of the cart wheels just brushed the
side Of the baby carriage, and knock
ed off little iron button screw that
supported the cover. The buggy
was not upset, and the child escaped
without scratch. The poor mother
who witnessed the thrilling escape
Of her child, was so overcome with
the shock of mingled terror aud Joy
that she almost tainted. After COZ
