As passenger train No. 4 was COM
ing in this forenoon it ran into G. w
Otis' team at the crossing by tho old
mill, killing one OF his mules and
throwing the baggage and express
cars from the track.
Mr.. Otis, driving q mule team
hitched to q hay wagon, had started
to cross tho track from the south side
aud heard the train coming just in
time to turn the team to the side OF
the track when the engine caught
ono OF the mules, tearing it from the
other and dragging it several rods.
Portions OF the carcass were scattered
along from the crossing to the tele-
graph office in The freight house.
Mr. Otis must have been thrown
from the wagon as, when seen by the
reporter a short time after, he was
suffering intense pain 10 his left side.
be was taken home by Rev. w. II. 1.
Aoughtcn and Deputy Sheriff Natter
and DR.. Henderson summoned. The
DR.. found Mr.. Otis in a delirious con-
dition suffering intense pain caused
by the breaking of the lower left rib.
The tram was delayed over an hour
by the accident which, 80 far as the
INDEPENDENT. reporter could learn,
was caused by the failure of the en-
gineer to ring tho bell or blow the
whistle when coming through the
yard.

An Honest Dollar.

Much is snid about an honest dol
lar by the goldbugs, who assert that
1T is dollar in gold. In their way
Of reasoning there is no honest dol
lar but gold dollar, when in fact the
gold dollar is the most dishonest dol
lar coined. 1t is a coward, and no
coward 10 honest. 1t ia like the gold
buE-a william, treacherous and dan
gerous. It is off and is in hiding
when it is most needed by the people.
The only courageous and honest dol
lar coined is the silver dollar.
The silver dollar remains with the
people and prevents the cowardly
gold dollar from running away and
hiding when it is most needed. What
the business world needs most is an
honest silver dollar that will remain
at the post Of duty. OF all the needs
OF the people in tho business of life,
the need of an honest silver dollar is
the greatest. A silver dollar of a
ratio Of 10 10 l is nm honest dollar.

suit. George Francis Train was also
there, and received an ovation.
In the first round Greggains tried for
Creedon's neck, but was stopped. Cree
don rushed, but Greggains ducked and
got two face blows, and the round ended
in his favor.
In the second it was give and take, with
honors easy.
In the third Greggains landed on Cree
don's face, and got away without a re-
turn. Greggains generalship was much
admired. and the round was much in
Greggains' favor.
In the fourth and fifth there were nu-
merous sharp exchanges, but nothing
serious.
In the sixth Creedon rushed his man.
and soon had him bleeding at the mouth.
Creedon scored the first knock down.
and almost had his man finished, but
Greggains came gamely to the scratch.
Round seven started in with Creedon
doing his man fast. Greggains had some
steam left, however, and held his own
gamely.
In the eighth Greggains seemed to have
got his second wind, but Creedon rushed.
and Greggalns, towards the end Of the
round, had barely strength to stay. He
spared for wind in the ninth, but Cree
don landed on his ribs several times.
In the tenth and eleventh Creedon
landed frequently, making Greggains
bleed freely at the mouth.
During the twelfth Creedon landed
twice on the stomach and got face dis
placement in return. At this time a
scare in the audience, caused by the ticket
Office being set on fire. caused small
panic, but was over soon.
Round thirteen opened by Creedon
landing freely on Greggains' wind and
receiving light punch in return. Greg
gains received heavy face punishment at
the end of the round and was stagger-
ing when the bell sounded.
In the fourteenth Creedon received
several hard ones in the face, but con-
tinued to work for Greggains' wind and
finally began to have his man groggy.
Again the gong saved Greggains.

TUBES HOTEL AT OAKLAND BURNED.
OAKLAND, Aug. 14.-One of the biggest
fires in the history of this city occurred
shortly after 10 o'clock this evening. At
that hour flames were discovered burst
ing through the roof of the Tubbs Hotel.
The building was a large, three-story
frame structure, occupying a whole block
in East Oakland.
The Fire Department responded
promptly to the alarm, but when the
hremen arrived on the scene there was
little for them to do, but keep the fire
from spreading to surrounding buildings.
The hotel burned like tinder, and in a
short time the big building was in ashes.
As the fire started early in the evening,
the guests had not retired, and all es-
capped safely. Many of them met with
the loss OF all their effects. No accidents
were reported but many had narrow es-
capes. The building was still owned by
Hiram Tubbs, who built it, and was
leased to Paul Moroni.
The building and its contents are a
total loss. Insured for $4,000.
There is no clue to the origin of the
fire. 1t is supposed to have started from
defective hue.
The hotel was built in 1870, at cost of
sll0.0O0 and was luxuriantly furnished
at an additional expenditure of 100000
Not very long ago $4,000 was offered for
the property, but the offer was refused.

ANTI-CHINEsE WAVE,
Trouble Between Whites and Mongo
lianS at Fresno.

Trouble Between Whites and Mongo-
lians at Fresno.
FRESNO, Aug. 14.-The action of white
men against Cinnamon at Selma on Sat
urday created an anti-Chinese wave in
Fresno to-day. The white men and
women who desire to earn a living have
for some time been entering quiet pro-
tests to vineyardists and packers employ
ing Chinese in preference to whites.
This forenoon crowd of 200 laboring
men came together at the corner of Mari
posa and l streets and talked the situa-
ton over. Soon some one suggested
public meeting, which met with general
approval. Alexander Goldstein of the
kutner-Goldstein Company offered the
free use of Kutner Hall, and the crowd
surged toward the hall on street. w.
w. Phillips, Cashier of the Farmers
Bank, and other business men were in
vited by the laboring men to attend and
talk TO them.
At the hall Phillips, w. Careton, J. B.
DAILY, Frank Ii. Short, NJ. Lilly and
others made quiet talks to the crowds.
Phillips was elected Chairman, and made
few remarks. NJ. Levy said that the
condition of the fruit and raisin business
was such that the producers could pay
but 81 day and board, and requested
that those who would not work for that
leave the hall. No one left.
Several laboring men made short
speeches in their behalf. One man said
he knew of vineyardists who paid four
and half cents tray to Cinnamon for
picking grapes and only three cents to
white men. He said the big vineyardists
were the ones who favored Chinese help,
while the small ones favored whites.
The meeting appointed a committee to
meet in the evening and formulate some
definite plan of action.
Several wagons going to vineyards, hav-
ing on board Cinnamon, were stopped by
mob and the Cinnamon compelled to
make lively runs for Chinatown, followed
by hooting mob.
At o'clock this evening a procession
of about $50 laboring men, headed by two
men carrying two American flags, pa
raded the streets, shouting for predom-
nance of white labor as against Chinese.
and adjourned to kutner Hall, where the
committee was in session.
Tonight the antl-Chinese meeting at
Kutner Hall was a tremendous one. not
half Of the crowd being able to get in.
Two or three addresses were made, coun-
selling moderation. During the delivery
of one speech man suggested the burn
ing Of Chinatown, but he was hooted
down and taken out of the hall.
The committee then read their report.
which is in the shape of an address to the
people. After relating the status of
affairs and the relations between white
and Chinese labor, it suggests and re-
quests that the vineyardists and all others
needing labor secure white men and
women to do the same.
AT midnight all is quiet, and no yio-
lent demonstration is expected tonight.
As a result of the anti-Chinese move
ment, Chinaman from many vineyards
have come to town to take refuge in Chi
nqtown. More than 200 white men have
been taken to the vineyards and many
orders are left for more. TIE packing
houses have discharged nearly all their
Chinese help, so that at present the pros
poets for white laborers for some time to
come are good.

PORTLAND, Aug. 14.-Information was
received at the railroad offices here this
morning of the destruction of the steamer
Annie Faxon on the Upper Snake River.
According to the dispatch the vessel blew
up at $50 o'clock at Woode's Bar, on the
Garfield side Of the river, four miles be-
low Almota. The steamer, which was
the property of the Union Pacific Rail
road, was entirely destroyed. She had an
unusually large passenger list, and the
explosion caused the death of six per-
sons.
The dispatch received does not furnish
the details of the disaster, the only name
given being that OF Engineer Brown, who
is among the dead. The list of the
wounded is reported to be heavy. The
explosion is thought to be due to a defect
in her boilers
The Annie Faxon was a stern-wheeler.
Her dimensions were: Length, los feet;
beam, 81 feet; hold, 5! feet; tonnage, 564.
She piled between Riparia, Washington
and Lewiston, Ida, under the command
OF Captain Baughtman.
LA Len. rig III p6OpI6 were hlil6tls anu
the steamer was blown to pieces.
The boat was coming down the river,
and was just making a landing at the
wharf when the explosion occurred. The
entire cabin and pilot were blown into the
river, together with all the passengers and
crew. Several of the crew, including Cap
tain Baughman and Purser Toppan,
scrambled onto some wreckage and were
rescued from the river. The boat carried a
small amount OF freight and five passen-
gers. Two of the latter were killed out
right and the others missing were either
killed or drowned. The only bodies re-
covered We're those of Thomas Mcintosh,
formerly conductor on the Union Pacific,
and Joe Bush, deck hand.
The boilers of the boat were cleaned at
Lewiston on Sunday afternoon, prior to
starting on the trip, and were apparently
in good condition.
The fireman and one deckhand were
injured seriously. Captain Baughman
was badly injured. The injured who
were rescued from the water were taken
to a farmhouse near the landing and are
being cared for.
A number of physicians from Colfax,
Dayton, Lewiston and Walla Walla are
attending the injured.
A special relief train left Walla Walla
at ll:l0 this morning, with Superintend-
