y. W. FLETcHER RUN OVER.
PORTLAND, Jan. 10. About 8
O'Clock Sunday morning, passenger
train No. on the Northern Pacific
ran over and killed man named
Frederick William Fletcher. The
fatal accident occurred about two aud
a half miles from Holbrook station,
and about twelve miles from Port
land. AT first the trainmen thought
that the engine had struck COW,
and the train was not halted. After
the train reached Linnton, some dis
fance this side Of the scene, brake
man went back to make an investi-
cation. The brakeman was horri
fed to discover the remains Of
human being instead Of COW. The
body was most horribly mangled,
the arms and head being completely
severed from the trunk. The fea
lures were so mangled as to be un-
recognizable. Coroner River was
notified and caused the fragments
of the remains 60 be removed to the
Morgue. Nothing could be found
by which the body could be identi.
fled, except some papers found scat
ter,d along the track. He was
about twenty years Of age, and q
seaman. How he came to be on the
track Is not known. An inquest
was held late yesterday.
JOHN BARDsLEY.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19.-John
Bardsley, obstinate and silent, re
fused TO betray his colleagues in the
great steal OF the state and city
funds. Neither the queries of the
district attorney, the admonitions Of
the bench nor the prlcking of hia
own conscience made the obdurate
municipa criminal speak, when his
testimony was needed to open the
doors Of the penitentlary for other
and equally guilty parties. John
Bardsley Is n broken-bearted, tear
ful and crushed old man. His nerv,
and force have gone. The brain
that dominated councils for year,
and forced the city treasury within
his grasp, now only dreams Of free
dom. A gentleman who has re-
Gently seen and talked with the
convict says that the old man has
no interest, no heart IN anything,
but ives and Lreaihes only In the
hope OF return TO the world.
"JOhn Barlsley believes that he
will be pardoned,n declared his re
cent visitor, 'or that his term OF
will he shortened. The
for freedom has been In.
ienslfied by his understanding that
\ congressional committee is TO be
appointed 10 investigate the manage
ilrden banks" The gentleman in
question, who Is unwilling TO allow
is name to be used at present,
Expresses the belief that John !
'ardsley, II allowed, might be 3
illing TO appear before the commit I
e aud answer questions more .
'adlIy than he did those put to him {
: District Attorney Graham. f
here Is some conjecture as to the o
'wer of the committee TO bring the i
'lsoner before them as a witness, n
I'd some gentlemen are understood I
be very anxious to have that p
'wer limited. 4
