Years Ago To-Day Mr.. and
Mrs. Harrison Wore Married.

Washington. d. c.. Oct. 2O.-There was
no perceptible change in the condition Of
Mrs. Harrison this morning. The long
hours of the night passed as usual with
her intervals of sleep following periods Of
wakefulness, but while the change from
day TO day is not perceptible TO any de-
gree. the physicians and nurses have
noticed steady progress in the disease.
There is reYer improvement except Of an
ephemeral. intermittent character, and
as each day passes the bare possibility
OF change for the better grows less, un-
til there is now little or no hope.

Political Methods.
FRESNO Cal, Aug. 29.-Louis B. Nc
Whirter, a prominent citizen, was assassi-
mated at the rear Of his premises at
O'Clock this morning.
McWhirter heard, a noise about the
house and stated to his wife he would go
into the yard to learn the cause. He
armed himself with revolver and left the
house by the front door, going to the back
yard on the path on the south side of the
house. About fifty feet from the rear of
the house he must have seen the men and
the exchange Of shots took place. Nc
Whirter fell in the path mortally wounded.
From an investigation of the premises and
the revolver of McWhirter and that of the
assassin, 1t appears six shot were fired
three by each. Three bullets entered the
fence, two in the clubhouse, and one lodged
in McWhirter's heart. The two bullets in
the fence and the one in the cOrnice of the
clubhouse were probably fired by Nc
Whittier and the rest by the assassins. it
is supposed there we're two of the latter
because two clubs we're found on the
ground the revolver mentioned and
mask Of red flannel. After the shots had

screams. He died in very few minutes
after the shot and did not regain con-
sciOusness.
1t is thought that burglars did the deed,
but a majority are of the opinion that the
tragedy is a elimination Of political tur-
MOL in this county. There are two fac
tions in the democratic party here, one of
which is led by McWhirter. He was very
outspoken in hls arraignment Of some of
the methods of the other faction. Only
about three months ago he bad his life
heavily insured for about $4,000 and stated
frequently that he believed his political
enemies would not hesitate to have him
put out of the way. He went armed but
said he did not expect to be attacked open
ly. McWhirter was born in Kentucky,
but spent most of his time in Tennessee.
He comes of excellent family and took
prominent part in politics in Tennessee.
He was at one time a member Of the legisr
lature there. He came to Fresno some six
or seven years ago, and at once took prom
inent position on account of his talents.
He, in company with others, started a.daily
paper, The Democrat, in this city four
years ago but later it suspended. Nc
Whirter was editor and always expressed
his opinion freely. He leaves wife and

The pretty little school house in pictur-
esque Sherman Valley was dedicated on
Saturday, under the most favorable cir
cumstances. The school house, which is
as beautiful as its surroundings, stands
monument to the indefatigable efforts Of
Professor Nitschke and his workers.
Professor Nitschke made the dedicatory
address, confning his remarks to educa-
tional matters, and the fruits to be accom-
plished by the school in the valley. Pro-
fessor Nitschke was followed by Judge
Byron Millett and b. NJ. Price. After the
exercises, those present voted on name
for the school, and "The North STAR was
the unanimous choice. The building
was decorated with evergreens and
Chinese lanterns and log fires kept up a
cheerful blaze on the outside. The resi-
dents of the valley furnished a splendid
repast, after which the floor of the room
was cleared for a dance, which continued
until day-break. About 150 persons were
present, among whom were nearly dozen
from Olympia, The whole affair was one
of unusual enjoyment. Among the Wis
itors from Olympia were Mrs. Horr Miss
Troup, Mrs. Van Etten, Miss Patton, Miss
Littlewood, Miss Riley and John
Riley. A short distance this side Of
the school house, one of the vehicles broke
down, forcing the occupants TO continue
the journey on foot. The query was as to
how the ladies got across the creek, which
intervened.
Judge Millett made a speech to the peo-
pie in the valley, in the interests Of the
peoples party, and secured twenty sigma
lures TO that cause.

spot For a TermInus-Windin
walks, Comfortable Seats and

The natural beauty Of Tumwater falls
has long made the little town a noted spot,
but the efforts Of the Olympia Light and
Power company have given it additional
beauty by the laying out OF pretty grove
where the public may seek recreation and
comfort, be secure from the unpleasant
heat of the day, and enjoy the pleasure Of
the cool evenings. The wooded spots
around the falls have been thinned out,
and ornamented with winding walks.
Rustic seats have been constructed which,
with the ever green verdure, the sound Of
the falling waters and natures surround
ings, make a yertable garden spot, where
families and parties may enjoy a days
outing at no expense. The terminus Of the
electric road is within few minutes walk
of the grove, and the Light and Power com
pany have constructed board walks from
the terminus of the car line to the
entrance of the grove, thus avoiding the
dust of the newly constructed roads, The
grove will be lighted during the evenings
with incandescent lamps, and the electric
cars will carry passengers from the center
of the city in few minutes.
One of the open cars, manufactured by
j. G. Brill g. Co., Philadelphia, arrived to-
day, and the other is expected tomorrow.
They will be pu in service at once thus
increasing the facilities of the road.

LONDON, August 29.-Dr. Whitcomb,
sanitary officer at Grayesend, who in
spected the steamer Gemma, which ar
rived from Hamburg, Thursday, three of
whose passengers subsequently died from
what was supposed to be Asiatic cholera,
denies that the disease is the true Asiatic
scourge. He declares it is merely choler-
iUe. 1t is difficult, in the multiplicity of
assertions and denials, to accurately de-
termine the real truth of the matter. It is
now declared that the sickness on the
steamer Laura, which arrived at Lynn,
Friday, with two suspicious cases, was not
cholera but acute diarrh@a Excitement
was caused at Gravesend this morning by
the arrival of the steamer from Hamburg

Card & Knights Shingle Mill in
Flames
One Hundred and Forty Thousand
Shingles Burned in One Dry
HOuse--UnabIe to Sound the
AIarm--Bucket Brigade.

Special to the Tribune.
SHERLOCK, Aug. %. AT about O'Clock
Sunday afternoon the dry house at the
Card & Knight shingle mill took fire. The
whistle cord broke, making it impossible
to give the alarm instantly, and the men
attached the hose thinking they could put
out the fire with it, but it soon got beyond
their power. The cord was mended and
the whistle sounded all over the country
Men ran from all parts to the scene Of con-
Migration, and soon there was an army of
willing helpers with wet blankets and
buckets of water to aid in saving the MILL
which was but few steps from the dry
kiln. Several dwellings and the cook
house were badly scorched. Fortunately
the river was near, and with plenty of help
they succeeded in saving the mill and
other buildings. Men were at work from
O'Clock until midnight carrying water.
Some got their clothing burned, and badly
scorched themselves, but none were
seriously hurt.
There was about 100000 shingles in the
kiln which were totally lost. The mill is
situated on the West bank of the Nisqually
river, on S. Y Benefits farm, about half
a mile above the ferry.
Messrs. Card and Knight are Well-knOwn
and substantial shingle men, who possess
the esteem Of every person in their en-
ploy. The enterprise was of great value to
this section, aud the prOprietOrs have the
sympathy Of the people. The loss in
volYed $1,000.
