O'BRIEN SAVED.
Ten Days of Hardship on the
Steamer NvetmOre.

| MARsHFIELD, Oregon, September 28.-Af-
ter ten days suffering from cold and hun
ger and the probability Of finding a watery
grave, Captain O'Brien and his watchman,
William Holmes, were rescued from the
wrecked whaleback steamer Wetmore by
Captain Bergman and the life-saying crew.
A week after the crew had been taken off
| the wreck, Captain O'Brien and his watch
man went aboard the vessel during a calm,
to prevent parties from boarding her and
claiming salvage. A storm came on, and
for the last ten days all efforts of the life
saving crew to rescue the shipWrecked men
were futile, and it seemed certain that they
must perish.
The sea was not running so high today
as yesterday, yet it was hard struggle for
the rescuers to reach the vessel. After
several hours work they put a line aboard,
which Captain O'Brien and Holmes tied
about their waists, and then, jumping
into the sea, the life crew pulled them
safely to shore. The men were almost
worn out from exposure. When they saw
the lifeboat upset last Friday they began
to feel that their chance for escape was al
most gone, but the captain had the life-raft
ready to launch, and as a last resort he in
tended to risk his life on the raft.
For the last five days the men have eX-
listed upon one scant meal day, and yes
terday they divided the last biscuit, which
had been set aside for the days meal.
Their sutferings from cold were terrible,
and for two days they stood In water mp to
their waists, with spray dashing over their
entire bodies. The wharf at Empire City
was crowded today when the men came
ashore, and the greatest interest in caring
for their wants was taken by the citizens of
that place.
The weather side of the Wetmore's main
cabin is stove in and the vessel viii un-
doubtedly prove total loss. 1t is unlikely
that anyone else will go aboard her to pre-
vent salvage claim.
O'Brien says ii would have been death to
have jumped into the sea that was raging
yesterday. He had kite made and was
waiting for favorable wind to send it over
the government works and by this means
to get communication with friends on
shore. He had letter of instruction to be
attached to the kite. Captain O'Brien is
satisfied from his past weeks experience
on the Wetmore that no other type of yes
sci would stand such seas as the Wetmore
has experienced during that time. The
only injury is to the cabin. The vessel is
no worse than when operations for trying
to float her were suspended

The special session of the city council to-
night for the purpose of investigating the
charges made against Engineer Lemon by
Councilman Sickels, bids fair to be quite
interesting. The charges have been pend
ing for some time and Mr. Lemon now in
sists that the matter be settled. When
asked about the matter councilman Sickels
was as non cOmmittal as an oyster. He
hadn't word to say further than that the
investigation rested with the council and
that he didn't know what steps would be
taken. 1t is understood, however that A. .

UNEARTnING A nRIDGn.
Distractions 10 Sewer Work on East
Fourth Street.

The sewer gang encountered number
Of formidable obstacles while digging the
trench on East Fourth street near the Mox-
lie creek bridge this morning, in the shape
Of the piling and cross timbers of the old
bridge at that point.
When East Fourth street was i'm
proved by grading, these old timbers were
buried beneath mixture of clay and grav-
ell to depth of six feet. In some places
logs and a miscellaneous assortment of
driftwood had been piled on and covered
with dirt. Spades had been temporarily
discarded and the sewer gang was armed
with axes. At different points along the
trench the cross pieces of the bridge can be
seen extending out under the street car
track. The tops of a number Of the old
piles have been uncovered, and this morn
ing big load Of wood was unearthed at a
depth of six feet, and elevated to the street
where it was viewed with considerable in
terest. 1t was necessary to cut the cross
pieces with axes and do considerable rough
carpenter work in order to free the trench
from distractions.

marian TroubIed.

The failure Of Mr.. Levi P. Morton to
secure a denomination has not, 1 imagine
troubled him nearly so much as it has the
scribes who have tried so hard to make a
sensation out of it. 1t is no secret to those
who know the MOrtons personally, that
Mrs. Morton never entertained a friendly
view Of the left-handed honor of the vice
presidential Office. When the question
came up in family council four years ago,
she strongly opposed her husbands accept
ance of the nomination "YOu cannot tell
me the names of the ten men who have
had the place last" she said, and when il
came to the test, l am told, Mr.. Morton
could not really recall the ten predecessors
as challenged. Under the circumstances
can believe that, however Mr. Morton's
personal am mbition may have been balked
by the result of the convention, it has not
produced any disappointment in his
family

Meeting of the Club Last Night to

meeting Of the democratic club was
held in the club rooms over Talcotts store
last night. Little was done besides to plan
for the conference between the county
committee and the candidates, that will
take place on the coming Saturday. The
democrats will then form plans for the
county campaign, fix places for meetings,
assign speakers and arrange all the details.
1t is claimed the democratic state central
committee will pToyide Thurston county
with any number of speakers, but it is un-
derstood that local talent will be utilized
as much as possible. Candidates will be
expected to do duty in all quarters. Men
of state reputation will be sent to Olympia
when the Capital City demonstration takes
place. Among the number will be Hon. J.
II. Snively, candidate for governor, and
James Hamilton Lewis. Other speakers
will also be present.
Speaking of the condition of affairs
throughout the county, Milton Giles said
this morning that the people were hungry
for information about the live issues of the
day. They will stop work in a minute to
talk politics. Another significant feature
is that they want somebody to talk to
them and are eager for meetings. A lively
spirit Of investigation and private discus
sion is also evinced.

Arrangements were almost completed to-
day for the great republican rally at the
Olympia theater tomorrow night. Judging
from the care and forethought displayed
by the committee in charge, it will be a
great event. 1t will be the first big demon
stration of the campaign in Thurston coun-
ty and will draw hundreds of visitors to
Olympia from the smaller towns in the
county. Changes have been made in the
speakers, however. A few days ago Chair
