Mbs1En PARK.
A Liberal Proposition From the Pionee,
Owner.

A Liberal Proposition From the Pioneer
Owner.
Yesterday, as~J.eH. Mosier looked
over the active scenes at his park, the
old gentleman seemed to realize that it
was a blessing to the children, and to
many of the olderones, particularly tired
mothers and fathers, to be able to SO
congregate in healthful locality and re-
cuperate their energies for continuance
of the duties allotted to them with the
recurrence of labor day, and thinking
over the matter, he made a proposition
TO representative of THE CHRONICLE,
that if any reliable company would in
corporate, under thelaws of Oregon, and
assume the responsibility, he would do
nate considerable tract for the pur-
poses of a public park, and permanent
pavilion, hotel, etc., could be erected
and make of it as fine an outing resort
for The Dalles, Walla Walla, Portland,
and intermediate points, as can be found
on the coast. THE CHRoNIcLE would
suggest, that in case no other corpora
ton should assume the responsibility,
this being the natural home of the horse,
and our people being more or less inter
ested in fine roadsters, gentleman's
driving club could be proftably incor-
porated, with capital of SIC, 900 to $15,-
600, and by judiciously expending the
money, make drive and park combined
that would eclipse anything of the kind
on this continent. The subject is
worthy of consideration.

THE PICNIC AT Mos1ER.
An Extra Fine Day Enjoyed in an Extra
Fine Way.

Fine Way.
+ The number is largely increasing in
America who find picnic. amusements
large commercial centers, suitable
method of rest, and that this system is
spreading TO Oregon in the average ratio,
one has but to notice the parks and SUBJ
urbs of Portland, Astoria, Salem and The
Dalles, on the fine sunny Sundays of
spring. Yesterday, the fast and reliable
steamer Regulator, Capt. John McNulty,
of The Dalles, Portland and Astoria
Navigation company, made two round
trips between this city and Mosier Park,
thirteen miles, carrying the Gesang Yer
elm Harmonic, and about 400 invited
friends on q picnic to the matchless
groves, green, grassy fields, and ripping
mountain streams, for musicale of re-
markable excellence in the open air, in
terspersed with music of The Dalles
brass band, and numerous innocent
games and athletic sports. Lively scenes
followed in quick succession, and the
programme, which was long, varied, and
of fine character, was carried out to the
letter, without one unpleasant incident
races, sack-races, pole clim bing, etc., ETC.,
many valuable prizes had been offered,
which stimulated good natured rivalry
among the participants, young and old,
and many were the practical jokes per-
petrated and enjoyed, each individual
being actually entertained in his or her
efforts to make the event interesting to
some one else, and where everybody did
so well it would seem invidious on the
part of the reporter to make any special
illusions. sOnce in several genera
tions" says noted writer, 'tsociety is
startled by actually being entertained at
one of its entertainments" Such was
surely the case yesterday. Refreshments
were furnished in abundance, of all
kinds, and the true hospitality of all is
illustrated in the case of the writer, who
was so pressingly invited that refusal
was impossible, ard in company with
| FIVE other gentlemen, joined Mr.. and
and Mrs. II. G.. Nielsen in a bountiful
meal nicely spread on the grass, in the

by at least fifty similar camps, all doing
justice to the repast in hearty and social
converse. The creased pig, and the
men who caught it, seemed to be the
only living thing on the grounds that
was tired and at O'Clock, the last boat
left for home enlivened with music and
song until the whistle sounded for the
wharf at the foot of Union street, where
the happy throng was greeted by nearly
as many people who had remained 'sat
home for the day. and thus ended the
long to be remembered Harmonic picnic.

The second Eastern Oregon District
Fair Association will hold their annual
fair this year, commencing on Tuesday
the 11th of October and ending on Sat
urday the 10th. This will be about a
month later than the date on which the
fair has been held for the past two years
and it is, beyond question, change that
ought to make the coming fair the most
successful of any yet held. The great
trouble with the last two fairs was that
they occurred at time when the farmers
were busy threshing, or if through with
this work, were engaged in hauling
grain, ordinarily, the throng of this
work will be over by the time fixed for
the present year. Another change has
been decided on that ought also to con-
tribute to the fairs success. No race
horses will be allowed to compete for
premiums, that do not belong to Eastern
Oregon or to Klickitat county, Wash.
These changes have been made entirely
in the interest of the farmers and stock
raisers of this district and we hope they
will be fully appreciated. =

Train Robbery.

IRON GATE, Va, Dec. 13.--As the
Chesapeake and Ohio vestibule train
pulled out of Huntington, Va, last
night, four masked train robbers
with two pistols each, appeared, and
ordered the passengers to hold up
their hands. Two passengers seized
one Of the robbers. In the scuffle,
one of the passengers, German
from Cincinnati on his wedding
trip, was mortally wounded, ano
Peter Drake, also of Cincinnati, was
wounded twice. The conductor Sc
cured a revolver and emptied it twice
at the robbers. In the meantime
the scene was one of indescribable
confusion, passengers were hiding
beneath the seats, women scream
ing and fainting. At last the rob-
bers, realizing their failure, pulled
the bell cord, stopped the train,
jumped off and disappeared in the
darkness. 1t is believed some of
them are wounded.

change it. Caprif concluded his
remarks by declaring Germany

standard.

ion of the propositions. The arch
bishops were astounded, and when
Monsignor Satolli retired they unau-
imously refused to ask for the APP
pointment of an apostolic delegate
in the United States. When they
came to consider the basis of settle
ment of the school question, all
with the exception of Monsignor
Ireland, refused to sign it. Cardinal
Gibbons begged of the archbishops
not to reject it, but to receive it
without signing it. This they would
also not do, but they held it for
further consideration. The mission
of Monsignor Satolli therefore is an
utter failure. There will be no set
tlement of the school question on
any other than the basis laid down
by Plus TX and Leo XIII, and
adopted by the Baltimore council.
There is just now much speculation
in ecclesiastical circles as to the fu-
ture movements of Monsiguor Sa.
tolli. The chances are that he will
return to Rome to be present at 'he
pope's jubilee next February, and
will not be sent back to the United
States in any capacity.

A DOUBLE DROWNING.
A Woman's Lover Kills Husband
and Friend.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. ia
novel method was adopted to COM
NIT double murder in Henrico
county. The crime involves the
story of divorced man in love with
the wife of another. His love was
reciprocated, but the husband and
his best friend were in the way OF
the full and complete enjoyment of
the mutual attachment. Seven
miles west of Richmond, on the
James river, there have lived in the
same house for few years, three
farmers named Philip T.. Nicholas,
James Mills and Judson Wilkinson.
For some time the relations of Nicho-
las, who was divorced from his wife,
and Mrs. Mills were unduly intimate.
Mills appeared to think very highly
l
of Nicholas. Last Thursday when
ne and Wilkinson were invited by
Nicholas to 60 across the river to cut
bee tree, which be said he had dis.
covered, Mills gladly accepted the
invitation, as did also Wilkinson.
Not very long after the party left,
Nicholas returned with his clothes
soaking wet and announced to Mrs.
Mills and Wilkinson's mother, the
only other occupants of the building,
that the boat had capsized and all
had fallen into the water. He said
he was the only one who could
swim, and his companions were
drowned. Mrs. Mills accepted the
story as true, but not so with Mrs.
Wilkinson. Neighbors and officers
of the law began to investigate, and
Sunday morning the man was ar
rested on the charge of double MUIR
der. Tho boat was found in the
river, and when it was taken out of
the water two freshly bored auger
holes were found in the bottom. A
short distance down the stream two
corn. cobs, trimmed so as to exactly
fit the holes In the bottom of the
boat, were found In Nicholas
room an auger that fitted the bored
spaces was discovered. The theory
Is that Nicholas, being aware that
neither of them could swim, deter
mined to dispose of them by drown
ing, and prepared the boat so as to
sink 1t In midstream, knowing that
he could easily save himself. 1t Is
believed he thoughtWilkinson knew
too much of his intimacy with Mrs.
Mills, and therefore decided that
two persons who could not swim
could be as easily drowned as one.
