Samuel Beeknan, colored, and Jennie
Wyley, his white paramour, to ten years

dissolute young white woman. One day
Pearl deid from the effects of the inhuman
treatment she had received.
When an examination was made it was
discovered that her body was nearly all
black and blue from the terrible beatlngs
which had been administered by her cruel
assailants. The little one's body had been
reduced almost to a skeleton, for, in addi-
tion to her other torments, she had been
literally starved. Beekman and the Wyley
woman were both arrested on the charge
of having caused PEARLS death. To-day
they received their just punishment.

LONDON, Nov. 15.-During the past

demands for export gold no advance OF
the bank rate is probable this year. The
stock exchange during the week had an
experience OF severe depression,
chiefly due TO the situation In
Paris. American railway securi-
ties suffered under the all-peryading
gloom the prospects OF difficulties here
leading to realizations. But generally

ming OF the week on the continent have

ASTORIA, Aug 10--The Alaska steamer
Wegsc0 ran into fishing boat at No.
beacon. between Sand Island and Fort
Stevens, last evening, sinking the boat
and drowning the occupants, man
named Wilson and his boat puller, name
unknown. 1t was quite dark at the time
and the fishing boat was showing no
lights. So soon as the boat was struck
the steamer stopped and lowered boat
A boat from the Point Adams life saving
station also shot out to the rescue, but
no trace of the men could be found. 1t
is supposed that being encumbered wit
heavy boots and clothing, they sank at
once. The men were fishing for j. O.
Hanthorn s. Co., OF this city. and live
at Deep River, where both have families.
The pilots on the night boats state that
fewer lights were shown by the fisher
men last evening than any time before
this season. and 1t is probably owing to
this fact that these men, as well as the
one run down by the T. j. Potter, lost
their lives, The latter was Greek, who
was fishing for the Bay View cannery.
His boat puller was saved.

More Gossip About Blaine.

CHICAGO, August 10.-A Washington
special says: A man who talked with
Conger, of Ohio, member of the Ma
tional Republican committee, is author
ity for the statement tha. Blaine, his
health permitting, will be in the hands
of his friends when the nominating con-
ventlon meets in 1892 He says:
"Conger preached the subject to
Blaine, who seemed rather indisposed to
talk about it at all. Conger dwelt at
length on the steadfastness OF Blaine's
friends, recalled the numerous instances
of other faithful adherence to him under
any and all circumstances and said that
his (Blaine's) friends ought to have some
thing to say. Republicans generally
wished to see him president, and victory
with any other man as the nominee was
uncertain. Blame showed great feeling
when Conger dilated upon the faithful
service of his friends, aud said he had
every disposition to serve them and the
Republican party too, and would not
now decline the nomination in advance.
Whether be told Conger directly that he
would take the nomination / do not
know. but this much 1 can say, viz:
,h"t CoLger says Blaine will accept it,
ana so believe now all of Blaine's
friends"

Mrs. Parker's Body Found.

ASTORIA, Aug. 10-The body of Mrs
Jennie NJ. Parker, who was drowned at
Clatsop yesterday, was found at 1880
this morning on the rocks that jut out
from shore below the cove at the Seaside
house over a mile from where she sank
from sight yesterday afternoon. The
drowned woman's husband had kept up
a ceaseees patrol of the beach as long as
daylight lasted yesterday, and began his
search again at daylight this morning
He was rewarded by finding all that was
mortal of a beloved wife of more than
ordinary worth. When the body was
discovered MIR. Parker was accompanied
by Miss Matte Owen, an intimate friend
of Mrs Parker. Leaving the bereaved
husband by the side of his wife, Miss
Oven hurried to the Seaside house and
secured help. The body was tendorl5
lifted from the sharp rocks, which had
bruised and disfgured the face, and
conveyed TO Austin's and in the after
noon brought up to this city. The affair
has created an intense feeling In this
city, owing TO the prominence of the
drowned lady and the high esteem IN
which she was held. Mabel Parker, the
1S year old daughter, who was on the
beach and witnessed the drowning, has
been seemingly insensible since the sad
affair, and rocks to aud fro with an awful
on her face 1t is feared her
reason has been dethroned.
