Salem Statesman: The train wreokers
are still PLAYING havoc with trains on the
Southern Pacific. The south-bound freight
at noon Saturday found a tie across the
track near the third road crossing south of
Salem. The pilot struck the tie and knocked
it away about twenty feet. The obstruc-
ton was braced by fence rail. In the soft
earth near the track where the tie was
found there were the tracks of man, with
shoe ten and half inches long, three and a |
half inches across ball of foot, and heel two !
and a fourth inches.
A special with simply caboose attached |
arrived in the city from Portland this morn.

track. Later 1t was learned that specials |
had been sent over every line In the state |
with important information from headquar-
ters, and couriers had been engaged to reach |
the country districts. Tammany is up to
some OF Its tricks. and perhaps there will
be no Democrats in the fusion states, but
Weaverltes.
Antelope Herald; County Commissioner
Springer of Crook county. and his wife
while returning from Clarno's ranch on the
John Day last Sunday met with an accident
which might have resulted very seriously.
At Cold Camp MIR. Springer got out to let
the horses drink when suddenly they took
fright at something aud broke away on a
keen gallop. The tongue of the buggy
broke and the horses wheeled, throwing
Mrs s. out and injuring her externally
pretty seriously. She was taken into Mr..
Condons house and medical advice pro-
cured at once. At last accounts she was
improving very rapidly. The horses were
finally caught, having done no further dam
age than break the tongue OF the buggy.
A most cowardly trick was PLAYED on
Marshal Maloney last Wednesday night, by
which a serious accident happened. He
left his horses and double-seated buggy
standing at one of our street corners, and
was only absent a half hour when some one
removed the king bolt, holding the hind and
front gearing together. 2 For about two
hours he drove around the city, when, in
coming up little hill the buggy parted, the
horses took fright, broke the reins he was
holding, and threw him about twenty feet,
inJuring his right arm, and cutting and
bruising his nose, right eye and face. He
walked to where the horses had ran against
a fence, and examining the buggy found the
bolts had beeu removed, evidently with the
intent of doing malicious mischief to him.
The funeral of Lieutenant Schwatka took
place yesterday, says the Salem Statesman,
shortly after the arrival of the morning
train for Portland. The remains were taken
directly from the depot to the Rural ceme-
terry, attended by relatives and friends of
the deceased. At the grave the lid of the
casket was removed, and all took a last look
at the face of the distinguished dead. After
the body had been lowered into It's last rest
ing place, selections from scripture. appro-
pirate to the occasion, were read by Rev.
MIR. Knight, followed by prayer. A hymn,
Jesus, Lover of NY Soul" sweetly sung
by a choir from the Baptist church, then
closed the ceremonies. The pail bearers
were c. B. Moores, T. o. Barker. P. Il.
Darcy, J. G. Wright, ]. A. Baker and L.
F. Conn.
1t is with much surprise and regret we
learn that Rev. W. G. Curtis preached his
farewell sermon last evening at the Congre-
eational church iu this city, of which he
has been pastor for long number of years,
ann during which time by his gentlemanly,
Christian conduct he has made large num-
Der of warm personal friends among the
members. of the church and OF citizens in
the community. He is very able and
scholarly divine, and his sermons have been
such that furnish food for thought. His
resignation rendered to the trustees few
days ago was very wisely not accepted, and
it was expected he would remain; but it ap-
pears that he still adheres to his determina-
