John M. S. PEBBLES, son of a wealthy
London banker. was accidently drowned
in Portland on Sunday. PEBBLES was
manager OF the Park & Lacey lumber yard
in North Portland and went to the river
for swim. He dived off the slip, five
feet above tho water and as he did not
come up his companions became alarmed.
AS the water is only six feet deep, they had
no trouble in finding him, and when they
got him out he had every appearance OF
being drowned. Still three physicians
worked over him nearly two hours and
then he was given up for dead. AT the
morgue 1t was discovered that his
neck was broken. The deceased was %
years of age, and the son OF Il. ID. PEBBLES,
manager of the London 81 San Francisco
bank in London. He was staying in Port
land with relatives having run away from
home about year ago.

Burned 60 Crisp.

ghe two-year-old boy OF Tunnis De
Ham, of Grand Rapids, was sent TO bed
carly Friday night last and TO cheer the
child in his loneliness lamp was left
burning on the table. IL is thought the
little fellow left the bed and began play
ing with the light and knocked it off the
table. An explosion was heard by the
parents below. The mother endeavored
10 reach the room but was driven back by
the dense suoke and had to be restrained
from rushing to certain death to rescue
her child. When the fire was finally ex-
tinguished Capt Oorwin Of the depart
snent found the body Of the boy crouched
an a corner burned beyond human SEM
blanoe The family came here four months
ago The loss on the house is $500 and on
the furniture $500. The low grade oil is
undoubtedly responsible for the fire and
che death of the child.

shot che Servant Girls Lover.

The daughters Of Captain John McEn-
croe, OF Ishpeming were aroused about 1
o'clock Tuesday morning aud saw a rough
~ dressed man moving about the hall.
They alarmed their brother Will, who slept
in an adjoining room. He went out with
aiamp and revolver and demanded the in
truder's business. He obtained no reply
and the wind blowing the lamp out he fired
two shots. This started the intruder down
stairs, where he was met by Captain Nc
Eucroe who ordered him TO throw up his
haads or tell who be was. Receiving ne
reply Capt McIincroe fired three shots,
all Of which took effect When lights
were brought the supposed burglar was
discovered 10 be Oscar Josseia, a Finn
wording under Capt McEncroe, at the
Lake Superior mine. A Finnish servant
gitt named Annie TclSaiekalta at once
threw herself upon the dying man and
sobbed out that he was her lover and ad-
niitted that they had been carrying on an
intsigue for some time. Jossela's refusal
to answer any summons or TO reveal his
identity cost him his life, for he died in
few moments.

weekly Review of Trade.

New YORK, Sept. 14.--R G. Dun & 90. 8
weekly review OF trade says: All returns of
the condition OF business are en- ouraging.
There Is no room for doubt about the inn
provement in trade. From nearly every
city reporting comes the cheering informa-
tion that business Is better and prospects
brighter. The enormous receipts of wheat
have depressed the price, at one time below
81 per bu. at New York. At western points
the receipts thus far have been much more
than doubt last years and for last week
were 5 500 900 bu. in four days. The
exports continue large. but the belief is
growing that foreign crops are not quite so
short as has been reported though short
enough to cause an unprecedented demand
from this country. Thus the price of wheat
has fallen SIC during the past week. Corn
declined but little, and oats only 1c. The
market for cotton was stronger by a quar-
ter before the government report appeared.
and has since advanced little further.
Pork products are high and oil about Sc
lower. The opening OF Germany and Dem
mark TO American pork products has
lifted the price OF pork half dollar per
barrel. With tho greatest crops ever grown,
and an unprecedented foreign demand for
grain aud meats, the prospect must be con-
sidered unusually encouraging. The busi-
ness failures occurring throughout tho past
seven days number GA as compared with a
total OF 2l7 last week. For the correspond
week OF last year the figures we're 1913.

ONE HUNDRED DROWNED.
Two Italian Vessels Collide I'm Gree
clan yyater.---Foreign News.

A collision has taken place Off Cape Co
lonna, the most southern part Of Attica, in
Greece, between the Italian steam ship, the
Taormira, OF the Italian messageries COM
pany, and Greek steamship. the Thessa-
liza. The Taormina sank almost immedi-
ately after being struck. drowning her cap
tain, several Of her crew and many Of her
cabin passengers. The second officer of
the Taormina and a number of passengers
who were standing on the bridge at the
time the collision occurred were saved by
the boats of the Thessalia. Most of the
Taormina's passengers were in their herths
when the vessels collided, and the latest
estimate is that 100 persons were drowned.
The Thessaha was badly damaged forward,
but by keeping the pumps going the steam
er just succeeded in reaching Phaleron.
