PORTLAND, Ore, July 30.-Engineer
Jack ROCKFORD of the through express,
south bound, met death in an unusual
manner in tunnel No. IA, sixteen miles
south of here, yesterday. Two engines are
required to take the train over the Siskiy-
GUS. ROCKFORD had the front engine.
When the train was nearly through the
tunnel the coupling between the mail and
express cars broke. Twenty minutes were
consumed in making new coupling. Tho
smoke and gas from the second engine
blew directly into the cab of the one
ahead, suffocating the engineer and fire.
man. It was decided to back out of the
tunnel and when the train stopped outside
the engineer and fireman of the front en-
CINE were missing. Search revealed the
engineer lying dead by the track with his
left arm cut off by the engine. Fireman
Fitzpatrick was lying unconscious by the
track, but revived later on. Both got off
the engine to escape suffocation and were
asphy1iated by the time they reached the
ground. Richeford fell with his arm across
the track and bled to death.

ssThe New York Sun of the 9th ex-
presses itself with great enthusiasm over
the White Squadron and the impressive
array of beautiful ships of the new navy
recently exhibited in North river, and
adds: IF to any one man more than to
others is due the country's gratitude for

Whitney The leading ships of the squad
ron were the Chicago, Boston and Atlanta,
built by John Roach before Mr. Whitney
became secretary. Mr.. Whitney did his
best to damn the ships, and succeeded in
| causing John Roach to fail and in killing
him. It may be added in truthfulness

Fashions Change in China.

An idea has prevailed that Chinese
woman had at least never to bother her
self over changes ia the fashions Of her
dress, which, It seems, is highly erro-
neous. A Hong Kong belle endures her
styles longer than her New York or
Partisan sister, but every few years a
novelty is introduced. Just now the
sleeves of her dress are wide and loose,
but few seasons ago they were very
tight. The length of the over-jaclxet
or tunic also varies Mt different times,
for the moment being quite long, and
the fowery pattern Of the stuffs from
which her gowns are made changes
perhaps once in five years. A Chinese
woman has, however, one great COM
pensation. The mems and women's
fashions are practically the same, and
her lord has exactly the same bother
that she has-when she has any.-N.

But They Are Not Any More.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 2s-Mary Minetsberger,
aged about 81 has begun a breach of promise
suit against John Wesley Evans, age 80, and
well-known in church, social and business
circles. Miss Minetsberger says:
VI 1rst became acquainted with Mr.. Evans
about eight years ago, and until last July he
visited me daily. From the very first he gave
me to understand that his intentions were o
marry me, although he did not make formal
proposal until about two years after we met.
can tell you it is pretty hard for woman
to lose eight years out of her life, and those
the best years, too. The time of our mar
r1age was first set for the fall of 1899, and
after that it was postponed from season to
season, until last July, when the final rupture
came.
1.-TWO weeks after we first met Mr.. Evans
received an anonymous letter from a lawyer
In town. The writer warned Mr.. Evans
against me and cast aspersions of a most
delicate nature on my character He brought
me the letter in order that might identify
the writer He told me that he was satisfied
the charge was malicious lie and he thought
the writer should be published. l knew at
once who the writer was. He was a we'll
known lawyer, married man with married
children, who bad prosecuted me with his at
tehtions. He did not deny writing the let
ter when l charged him with it, and took the
public horsewhipping my brother Edwin gave
him without murmur. My father had pre-
Vfously given him taste of the same thing on
account of his prosecutions, and it was
partly in jealousy and partly in spite that the
anonymous letter was written. 1t is this letter,
If he has 1t, that Mr.. Evans probably wants to
bring forward as his reason for not marrying
me after lapse of eight years.
"lt was not until Mr.. Evans began to make
money that he thought l would not be the
wife for him; before that he appeared to de-
light in talking about our marriage. The rea-
son advanced for postponing the marriage
from 1889 on till last July was that his busi-
ness would not afford him time.'
Mr.. Evans says: 81 won't tell anything
about my side of the case now, but there will
be sensation when it comes to trial, and
come to trial it will, for l will make no com
promise"
