The fourth at Dufur was an event long to
be remembered, and the citizens feel proud
of their successful effort. Very early in the
morning, the citizens were aroused by the
firing of anvils. At seasonable hour a
procession formed and proceeded to the
grounds, about quarter of mile below
the town, where the exercises were held,
with Hon. A. J Dutur, ST., as president of
the day. The Declaration of Independence
was read in excellent voice by Mrs. Josie
johnson, and Mr.. A. J. Brigham delivered
an eloquent and well-digested oration, which
pleased everyone. The Dufur brass band
furnished music on the occasion. After
dinner. which was oountlful spread, games
begun, and these furnished amusement to
the citizens for many hours. The celebra-
tion was the most successful of any ever
held, and all present appeared perfectly
satisfied with the arrangements.

approved the work should proceed and
the money expended The house con
terees would not consent to this. Sena-
tors FRYE and Ransom, believing tba,
further resis,ence might inperii the bill,
yielded. Senator Dolph DID not sign the
report, but Will not iurih her probing the
fight, as be says it is useless, aud he will

pleasant, with the exception of heavy
wind, which, we understand, is usual at
this season of the year. On the morning

DONG nothing to prevent the spread of
the disease. No special hospital has

general hospital in public vehicles
Many corpses are lett unburled for days
One body was found in public bath de

tiles and inhabltants generally. are fleeing
from the town. No disinfectants are
obtsinable. General confusion prevails
The sanitary condition of As,rakhan is
terribly defective. Dr. Drasche, in q
lecture yesterday, said that experience
showed the cholera at Baku and in Tyria
was less virulent than the true Asiatic
cholera. He thought the gravity of the
outbreak had been exaggerated, that the
disease would soon be checked by sani
tary measures, and that there was un
need of fear or apprehension of its spread
to Europe.

Workman Sweeney last evening ad-
dressed to officials of the tied up roads a
letter reciting tho history OF the de-
mands OF the switchmen for 10 hours'
work at previous rates for overtime, and
the right of appeal of discharged or sus-

He then proposed arbitration OF the
differences between the roads and the

these two.
He also proposes that pending the final
conclusions Of the committee on settle
ment, the switchmen, who, prior TO Aug.

other employees az have been discharged
on account OF their refusal to do switch

land Roads In Poor Condition.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Aug. 2o.-The Ital-
ians who were engaged in Philadelphia
to work for the Philadelphia, Reading
and New England road, and who refused
to work when they found that the wages
were only si.25 per day, are not the only
persons who appear to have . grievances
against the company. Owing to the re-
cent trou bles, the road bed has not re-
ceived that attention which is considered
necessary for the safety OF passengers,
and much adverse criticism Is heard on
the part OF the patrons.
Men holding responsible positions on
the road admit that the road bed is not
what IL should be. An engineer has
made the statement within a few days
that he considered the track dangerous
In many places, and that he was In fear
OF an accident every time he made his
run. Such statements az these have
reached the ears OF patrons OF the road
and they have not had tendency to In
spire confidence.
A director of the old Connecticut
Western road threatens to complain to
the present management that the terms
OF the lease are not being carried out, and
that the road is not being maintained in
good condition. The gentleman also
hinted that the railroad commissioners
might be appealed to to investigate the
matter.
