Brave Fred Brokaw.

AssURY PARK, June 24.-Fred Bro
kaW, the eldest son of Isaac Y. Bro
kaw. the prominent New York clothier,
was drowned while attempting to res
cue the servants of Mrs. Hess, at Elber-
on, this afternoon. Annie Donohue,
one of the servants, was also drowned.
Miss Annie Donohue, Miss Maggie
Birsh and Miss Julia Torpis had gone
bathing. They were carried out be-
yond their depth. Their cries were
heard by BrokaW, who, with DR., Ferris,
of Philadelphia, was sitting on the
lawn of the BroWaw cottage. The two
threw off their outer garments and
leaped into the sea- BrokaW seized
Miss Donohue and DR.. Ferris caught
hold of Miss Birsh. Brokaw made a
gallant struggle to reach the shore with
his burden. The girL completely lost
her head, several times breaking from
his grasp. He would not desert her,
and struggled to bring her to the shore.
Finally his efforts to retain his hold on
the girl exhausted him, and he sank
from view, with the girl, to whom he
clung to the end. Mr.. and Mrs. Bro
kaw witnessed the sad accident from
the beach, and are almost frantic with
grief. Miss Torpis and Miss Blrsh
were saved. DR., Ferris was completely
exhausted when rescued, and was taken
to the Brokaw cottage where he lies IN
critical condition.

Probably Murdered.

COLUMBIA, June 20.-Jane Merritt, a
white woman, was found on rail road
track here this morning with her head
mashed off and ground to pieces. She
was seen lying on the track as the train
approached. Beforeit could be stopped
the engine passed over her. From the
fact that the body was cold and stiff
and blood was not flowing when ex-
amlined minute OF two later it is be-
lieved she was dead long before the en-
gine passed.
This added to the fact that along the
bank there are evidences of body be-
ing dragged, together with footsteps
creates the suspicion that she was muir
dered. A coroner's jury rendered a
verdict of death by the hands of a per
son or persons unknown. The theory
of suicide is also advanced as the wo-
man was poor creature recently dis
charged from the aims house and last
night she was heard to say she would
rather be dead and with the devil rath-
er than to live such a life.

TIE MANIAC, TIE CRIMINAL AND TIE
BRIDE.
There was q gentleman in a rail car
who saw in that same car three paSsen-
gers of very different circumstances.
first was a maniac. He was carefully
guarded by his attendants. His mind,
like ship dismaSted, was beating
against a dark, desolate coast, from
which no help could come. The train
stopped. and the man was taken out
into the asylum to waste away, per-
hapS, through years of gloom. The
second passenger was culprit. The
outraged law had seized on him. AS
the cars jolted the chains ratified. On
his face were crime. depraylty and des-
pair. The train halted and he was
taken out to the penitentiary, to which
he had been condemned. There was
the third passenger, under far different
circumstances. She was bride. Every
hour was gay as marriage bell. Life
glittered and beckoned, Her compan-
ion was taking her to his fathers house.
The train halted. The old man was
there to welcome her to her new home,
and his white locks showed down upon
her as he sealed his word with fathers
kiss.
Quickly we fly toward eternity. We
will soon be there. Some leave this life
condemned. Oh, may it be with us,
that, leaving this tleeting life for the
next, we may find our Father ready to
greet US to our new home with him for
ever. That will be marriage banquet!
Fathers welcome! Fathers bosom.
Fathers kiss! Heaven! Heaven,

A WARNING.
The New York Herald on the Third Party
Movement.

Movement.
New York. June 22.-The New
York Herald says that the National
Union conference held recently in Gin
cinnati, is not to be poh-hoohed away
as an Insignificant gathering of cranks
and soreheadS. Following this the
Herald continues: "Party leaders, Re.
publican or Democrat, who look upon
it with Indifference or treat it with ridi-
cule, fail to see its significance and its
warning. Admit that the interests rep
resented are diverse, even incongrous
and discordant; that visionary schemes
may be favored and extreme demands
made. 1t may be that no practical agree
ment will be reached, no platform
adopted, no third party formed. all
this signifies nothing. The real signii-
canoe of the events rather in it's origin
than in what may be its immediate re-
suits, in the causes which have led to it
rather than the effects which may now
come from it, From this point of view
the gathering on the banks of the Ohio,
representing as it does the Farmers AL
lance and the Knights of Labor to say
nothing of other organizations, is more
significant than any so-called third par
ty movement We have had in this coun
try for years. The greenback, the pro-
hlbition, the woman suffrage and even
the labor cause have appealed to spec
ial classes of limited numbers. They
lacked the elements of national
strength, and consequently of national
achievement. Different from all these
is the movement now looming up with
growing Importance especially IN the
west. We have said that its signii-
canoe is in its origin, its cause. That
cause is party politics. 1t is a deep seat
ed grievance felt by the farmers and
the wage earners Of the country in con-
sequence of the shameful disregard of
their interests and welfare shown by the
party in power. The organization of
the aggrieved classes is a practical pro-
test against such party management.
As the grievance effects agricultural
and industry the scope of the move
ment may be as broad as the nation, as
general as the masses. The Farmers
Alliance joined with the forces of labor
and other organizations may prove a
factor in coming politics more potent
than many effect to believe Of course
it is not expected that third party, if
one should be formed next year, would
elect its candidates. 1t might, how
ever, carry enough States to throw the
choice into the house, which would in
sure the election OF 4 democratic presi-
dent. But whatever may be the imme-
diate effect of this new uprising, the
movement is not going to disappear
while the cause which started it exists.
Either party in power must look to the
interests of the farmers, workingmen
and the masses generally, orthese class
es will combine for their own protec-
tjOD

In England two young men started
from their fathers house and went
down to Portsmouth. The father
could not pursue his children; for some
reason he could not leave home, and so
ne wrote letter down to Mr.. Griffin,
saying: "Mr. Griffin, wish you would
20 and see my two sons. They have ar
rived in Portsmouth, and they are
going to take ship and going away
from home. l wish you would persuade
them back" Mr.. Griffin went and he
tried to persuade them back. He per-
suaded one to 60. He went with very
easy persuasion because be was very
homeslck already. The other young
man said: 81 will not go. have had
enough of home. I'll never go home"
''WelI," said Mr.. Griffin, then if you
won't 90 home II a get you respectab' e
position on a respectable ship "No
you WON'T" said the prodigal. "No
you won't. l am going as a common
sailor; that Will plague my father most,
and what will do most to tantaliZe and
worry him will please me best
Years passed on, and Mr.. Griffin was

4 GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

The matter of bringing the waters Of
Hood river through the west side OF
the valley has at last assumed definite
shape, and will be presented 70 the
farnlerc 10y some OF the parties to the
project for their Endorsement and as
sistancc. The money is forthcoming
toput in a ditch that will carry at
least 5000 inches of water, and this is
proposed to be furnished ut a figure,
that compared to the benefit accruing,
is but tritle. More than all else that
conmends the project to us all is the
fact that the money is to be furnished
10y II gentleman who has recently
made his home among us, assisted by
our!own people, Ii is conceded by all
that, in the present condition of our
community, ii is almost an imposSi-
bility for us to construct ditch for
ourselves and hence it is the part of
wisdom to do the next best thing, en-
courage the investment of the capital
from elsewhere. As we understand
the proposition about all that will be
asked 10y the company is the right of
way, and the agreement to pay small
amount upon the ditch reaching GER
tain Stage; this amount to be credited
on the water account of the parties
advancing it when the ditch is conf
lneted. The object is not so much TO
tet the money paid, as to secure the
. OmiSe to use at least small amount
ot the water. This is the golden op-
p0runity and should be seized by all.
lnere seems TO be general impression
tnat large amount of water is requir-
ed, to irrigate a farm, yet the regula-
ton in the water districts of California,
show that even in the dry climate the
amount required for an acre is very
slnad. At Ensenado, the allowance
wnicu is said to be abundant, is one
inch of water for three acres, and in
otuer districts the amount is placed
even as low us one inch to ten acres.
1t will be seen from this that at one
dollar per month per inch, which
would be the maximum charge, the
cost of irrigation per acre for three
months, (which would be as long as
nee,ied in most cases. would be one
dollar. 1t is worth that much to see
the water run. TO discuss the vast
probabilities of the valley with II
thorough irrigation system is not the
OoJeel Of this article. Its benefits are
incalcuabIe, and we sincerely hope that
every land owner in the valley will do
all III his power to make it, what it
should be, unanimous success. The
hight of way, and good will is about all
that is asked by those proposing to
construct the ditch, and surely we can
do no less than to grant both freely.
