Sight Restored ait Ninety.fiye,

The Welsh newspapers report a remark
able event at the village Of Llanon, Cardi-
ganshire, where Rev. William Herbert, late
rector of the parish, entertained 500 of his
Pensioners at tea, in commemoration of
the restoration Of his eyesight in his nine
ty-flfth year. The reverend gentleman,
who is the Oldest clergyman in the prinic-
1pality, had held the living at Llanon for
half a century.
Six years ago, however, he lost his sight
and resigned the rectorship in consequence.
During the last few months he has been
under the treatment Of an eminent occu-
list and the cataracts being removed from
his eyes his sight has been completely re-
stored and he is now enabled to read the
service in church.

SHE WILL BE A DUCHESS.
The Romance of Faithful Daughters
FiliaI Devotion,


FiliaI Devotion,
The announcement of the engagement Of
Miss Matte Mitchell, daughter Of Senator
Mitchell, Of Oregon, 10 the Duke Francois
D. L. Rouchefoucauld, Of France, has
caused pleasant breeze Of excitement in
official and social circles in Washington
City, by both of which the brlde-elect has
always been held in enviable esteem. Her
many graces of heart and mind combined
with acknowledged personal beauty, haye
gained for her many warm friends and ad-
mirers on both sides of the globe. Though
but just announced, the engagement has
been one Of long standing the young peo-
pie having met six years ago at dinner
party given in Miss MitchelPs honor at
Sainte German, where the Duke de Roche
foucauld was stationed. and, like most ro-
mances, the story opens with love at first
sight. Although untiring in his de-
votion, the fate Of the gallant
private nature, hung in the balance up to
the date Of Miss Mitchell's arrival in Paris,
early in the past summer when, business
matters being satisfactorily settled the
lovers were made happy in the consent of
all concerned. The duke who is an officer
in the Chasseurs d. d'Afrique, has for the past
three years been stationed with his regi-
menu at Alglefss lie was recently pro-
NOTED to captaincy and ordered on duty
in the neighborhood of Paris. An enthus-
last in his profession, he has, from early
youth, led a brilliant military career; pre-
ferring always the post of action to one of
each and social popularity. Upon the de-
parture of Miss Mitchell for home, three
years ago. he applied to be sent to Algiers.
He is 38 years Of age, and the owner of
three handsome estates in France, upon
one OF which his mother, widow, and his
younger brother reside. Miss Mitchell is
just 26 years of age and a native of Oregon.
She is highly spoken Of in the Washington
papers, all eulogizing her beauty and more
especially the tender care she has had for
her invalid mother It is understood the
marriage will take place early in the new

ACCIDENT
A SUDDEN sTOPPAGE OF THE
TRAIN AT NEsQUALLY.
A Singular Shock to the Passen-
gers of the Portland Express.
Early this Morning.

Early this Morning.
After toiling through the White river
valley all day yesterday, the Northern Pa
cifc repair force succeeded in bracing the
submerged track bridges SO that the Port
land night express couId start from Seat
tie. It had to pick its way cautiously,
however, with the result that it arrived in
Tacoma an hour and half behind sched-
ule time early this morning.
Shortly after pulling out on its way to
Olympia, the engineer threw the throttle
open and the six coaches came plunging
south at a Brighton pace. When four
miles the other side Of Nesqually City the
passengers experienced series of alarm
Ing stocks. For . few moments it was
zagffgsht shat the, train was .derailed and
about to take header down thc steep
gravel grade. The sudden application Of
the automatic soon brought the train to a
standstiIl, the locomotive painting and the
coaches trembling as if with the terrorized
| consciousness OF narrow escape from dis
aster.
On examination it was found that the
first brake beam on the locomotive had
been snapped in twain. The air pipe
| where it was suspended over the second
beam, was cut as if by a knife, and sever
afsharp indentations had been made in the
| t1OOrOf the tender. An inspection Of the
track failed to solve the mystery of the ae-
cident; nor could the theories of the en-
gineer and Conductor Prentis account fol
! it. How an obstruction of such apparent
size and power could have passed the cow
catcher and the lower works of the locomo.
| tive no one could imagine.

RAIN EYERYW HERE.
ALL THE RIVERS OF TIE STATE

Great Damage in the NeighborhoOd

Sauna VuasEnuts

Not in many years have the people in
this section OF the country been visited
with such constant and heavy rains.
Washouts have occurred in all sections.
e. B. Olney, the signal observer, states
that there has been more rain for the first
ten days of the present month than for the
entire months of September and October
combined. The average rainfall of the
first ten days Of November dur
ing fifteen years has averaged .16 of
aninch, while per the first ten days Of the
present month 1852 inches or .76 of an inch
day. have fallen.
The Northern Pacific track is overAowed
at many points on the man line in the
Cascade mountains and on the Seattle
branch of the road. TheToadbed is dam
aged to a great extent. The Puyallup river
is oyerflowing its banks and caused great
damage on the flat in front of Tacoma.
The Naphtha launch works is nearly total
wreck, ,'entailing a loss Of from $4,000 to
100000. Two hundred men were at work
yesterday and today trying to prevent the
breaking of the dam which was built two
years ago to change the course of the
Puyallup river. Sacks of sand hay bales
and bundles of brush were used. Families
living at Orting had to be rescued from
their homes in small boats. Nearly mile
OF track has been washed out between
HnumclaW and Eagle Gorge and the
overland traius are sidetracked. No
eastern mail has yet arrived for
two days. Land slides have occurred be-
tween Olympia and Montesano. All the
rivers from Mount Tacoma are swollen
caused by warm Chinook wind melting
the heavy snow on the mountains. The
rack track at Kent is covered with water
wagon roads, houses bridges and trestle
work have been washed away between Ia
comaand Seattle and log jams have been
been known for years. Some lives have
been lost, mostly Indians. The Pupallup,
Duwamish, Green, Black, Skagit, Snoho-

but before the rain commenced to day they
were beginning to recede.

| VALPARAI 50, Nov. 1.-THE story about

OUR DEMAND.
WAsH1NGToN, Nov. 11.-An official well
versed in naval and state department af-
fairs says: 'sIt is only within tie last two
days that settled programme: has been
determined upon. 1t is substantially this /:
A demand has already been made on Chill
for an explanation Of the cruiser Balti-
more tragedy. Within short time a sec
ond demand will be made. The second
demand will recite that the first one was
notm with the prompt action which the
United States expected. If Chile fails to
act, the final stroke of the programme will
be made. The fleets of the United States
vii! meet in the harbor of Valparaiso
THE purpose is to make this demonstra-
t!on unprecedented III the naval history of
the United States. Every available war
ship which floats the United States flag
will take part in the movement For the
time being, the squadrons which manmu-
yer in foreign ports will be broken up and
absorbed in the main rendezvous at Val
paraiso.
''The new ships and those which are be-
ing repaired in the navy yards will be cen
tered in Chilean Watsrs. Iti is believed the
uuere presence of this naval force Will be
sufficient to force the Chileans into an inn
mediate response. IF is is not, it will then
be for congress to decide upon The future
course and if need be issue a formal decIa-
ration of war"
thorities can act, the massing of fleets be-
fore Valparaiso Will express their disap-
proval of Chile's course 1t is the desire
to prepare for this rendezvous, which
causes the present rush in the navy yards.
