THE coRoNeRs VERDICT,
Finding on the Death of Herman kanning
Killed by aBicyelist.f Isl,

Finding on the Death of Herman kanning,
Killed by aBicyelist.i 5,
Lewiston, September 27.--Thei inquest
on the death of Herman Kanning was
conducted by Coroner Plummer of Aur
burn. Evidence showed that Ernest
Scott was riding down Main street on
his wheel at the rate of five miles an
hour. He saw no one as it was quite
dark. He ran into Kanning, and the lat
ter sustained three fractures from the
accident. Surgeons testified that one
1racure began at the rear of the right ear
and extended diagonally up over the
skull and continued down in front of
the left ear; another, starting in the
frontal bone, extended into the first frac-
ture and the third from the base of
the skull into the first fracture behind
the right ear. It will be seen that the
shock must have been very severe to
have created such a condition of the
skull. The jury found that Herman
Kanning met his death by being run
down by "a bicycle riden by Ernest
Scott, and that the said Scott was in
the highway. 1t was at first stated that
Scott was riding on the sidewalk, but
sue b proved not to be the fact.

OHIO CAMPAIGN OPENED.
A. Most Enthusiastic Republican Rally at
Findlay, Ohio.

Findlay, O., September Ex-Governor
Mckinley this afternoon inaugurated
the fall campaign of the Ohio Republic
can party, and the event was signalized
by one of the greatest outpourings of the
rank and file the state has ever wit
messed. The governor. with several of
the state officers and battery of artil-
lery as the escort, arrived from Column
bus shortly before II O'Clock, and re-
ceived tumultuous reception from the
throng of 10000 or more that had been
waiting at the depot
Meanwhile the various visiting and
local clubs had been getting into line for
parade, and when the governors car
riage had taken it's position the start
was Immediately made. When the Mar
vim House was reached Governor Nc
Kinley aIighted, and from the balcony
briefly thanked the multitude for it's
reception. tt was 2 O'Clock when the
meeting WAS called to order on the cam
pus of Findlay College. Governor Nc
Kinley began his speech with a review
of the condition of the nation at the
close of the last Repu blican administrR-

condition. "The administration voted
out of power in 1Se3," he said, "was one
of the wisest and best the country has
ever seen. In obedience to this decree
the Democratic panty has been in SUI
pIeme control of the government for
nearly 10 months, and for the greater
part of that time it has been engaged in
trying to revise the tariff. This period
has give to the American people an op-
portunity for sober reflection, steadied
by the discipline of adversity. Even the
eyes OF the blindest partisans have been
opened and men who have heretofore
never been able to see any good in the
Repu blican party ami whossvoted ius pol
icy fraud and robbery, are now eager
for reconsideration and change. The
extent of the reversal of sentiment upon
the tariff Question could scarcely be ap-
preciated without reference to recent
election returns. Here he reviewed
extensively the returns from the cleo
tions of the last year and this year,
comparing them with theEresults of 1890,
and cited the action recently given by
the sugar planters of Louisiana. He did
not know what this verdict of the
sugar men might mean for the future,
but he felt to comend the men for this
patriotic action.

PORTLAND, Or. June mo accurate
estimate of the damage by floods along
the Columbia and Willamette rivers can
be made. 1t is certain, however, to run
into millions. The entire Northwest,
including Idaho. Washington, Oregon
and British Columbia is virtually shut
off from the East by the floods. Ihe
Canadian Pacific roads have been
washed out for hundreds of miles, and
it will require weeks to repair the dam-
age after the water goes down. ;.
This city has connections both ways
on the Southern Pacific. but the mails
are badly delayed.
The Northern Pacific makes c0nnec.
tions through Puget sound and this city
by means of the transfer boat which
runs from kels0. WASH, to this city.
In Northern Idaho the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific have been
washed out for miles, rendering the
roads almost useless west of Idaho.
The Union Pacific is partly used from
Umatilla west. and the Oregon
Railway and Navigation comp
ny's roads, which Is the wts,ern

be practically rebuilt from Umatllla to
Portland, distance of 200 miles. The
upper Columbia is not falling, but the
river here remains stationary. 1t will
require at least week for the water to
get out of the streets. whenever it be-
gins TO recede, as many points ON Front
street the water is ten feet deep. The
streets adjacent to the flooded districts,
which how include three-fourths of
the business portion of the city, are
alive with vehicles of all kinds hauling

The constitutional lawyers of the
curbstone vintage are still in Il quandary
as to what to do with their rump assem-
bly,. They have talked the matter over
On the street corners and looked
askance at the Democratic admins
tration as it moves OH as uncon-
cerned as if there were no one barking
at its heels. Rearcon bluntly says
he doesn't know what they will do, and
others of the party are milder in their
admissions as to being at sea in leaky
boat. Assemolyman johnson carries
John Copeland's record i'll his pocket as
clerk of the rump assembly, and ex-
hibits it at the street corner meetings.
By the way, he has promised his brown
hat ballot box to President Van Slyke,
of the assembly. as memento of the
occasion when the Republican Assem-.
blymen put their foot into the mouth of
the "tiger," and then got it out as soon
as they could. The attorneys employed to
investigate the matter are still hunting
for some hook of the law upun which
to hang their threadbare case, and
don't feel quite sure rs to whether or
not they will try quo warranto proceed
ings. Lightner consulted the attorney
general yesterday as to what should be
done. and it was understood that Gen.
Childs will allow the use of his name to
begin the proceeding alluded to in case
1t is deemed advisable to proceed at all.

absolutely overwhelming praise ex-
pressed by the people who thronged
this already famous vessel as she lay at
the dock here today. 1t was at once a
wonder and a revelation in lake steam
ship navigation.
The 40 passengers on board were
even more enthusiastic than the Wis.
ftors, as they were more familiar with
the comforts and advantages offered.
They pronounce the table service rs un-
surpassed by any hotel or restaurant
caterers in the world. There were a
large number more passengers booked
who were prevented by washouts from
reaching Buffalo before the hour of sail
ing. or otherwise the passenger list on
the initial trip would have been much
larger.
Capt. Campau has reason to be proud
of the craft he commands. He says he
made five hours better time Ill crossing
Lake Huron than was ever before re-
corded, and he expects to make equally
good time for the remainder of the trip

dian Supply Depot.
An earnest effort is now making at
Washington by Congressman Kiefer. to
amend all appropriation bill for the
location of new Indian supply depot.
The bill locates the depot at Chicago,
which has aroused the ire of New York.
The latter city has had heretofore a
monopoly of this matter. Congressman
Kiefer's amendment would locate the
Indian supply depot at st. Paul. With
commcndable zeal the Commercial Club
of st. Paul has lent material aid in this
effort. In speaking uf this matter last
night, Secretary Danforth, OF the Com.
mercial club. said:
"Yes, we have been hard at work on
this matter for some tim past. The To-
cation OF an Indian ,uppli depot in st.
Paukwould be of vas, De ,etit to the city

Washington facts and figures showing
the superiority of our location and ad-
vantages, and statistics of jobbing

Cities, showing conclusively that sub
Stantially everything needed could be
had right here. If good business prin.
ciples govern the location of the depot
we should win, as We surely present
the strongest claims of any aspirant.

to their native land.
General Manager Underwood escorted
the entire party toinspecI the new lock.
which is to. be completedineXty year. This
lock is beside the old one, but is much
larger, anu will cost the government
several million dollars. Just how much

About noon Judge Steere, Senator
Mcmahon, Charles S. Osborn. of the
500 News, B. II. Scranton and the vis-
itors took Capt. Birds launch. the
Waupoose, and went down the river to
see and meet the North West. The white
hull of the vessel could be seen several
miles distant. and as she neared ths
port the interest and excitement of the
notable event increased.
1t was exactly 12:45 p. m. when the
steamship touched the dock, and she
was greeted by the screeches of every
steam whistle in the city and the cheers
of the people present, which seemed to
include every able bndied person in
town.
The NorthW est left Buffalo at pm,
Tuesday, the 5th. halting at Cleveland
Wednesday morning aud again at De-
troit Wednesday afternoon, stopping
at no other port until the 500 was
reached.
The advent of the North West marked
the first formal opening of Hay Lake
channel, she being the first large vessel
which has passed through the channel.
a feat which required much skill for
the first trip.
The government tug Myra, with Supt.
Wheeler and corps of engineers on
board, met the steamship at Sailors En-
campment and escorted her to the dock.
while A. F. Hurley, sheriff of this
county. acted as pilot through the
channel.
The crew, which numbers 143 people.
were all in uniform. and as the vessel
came sailing up to the dock with flags
flying, the uniforms of the officers aHd
men conspicuous, the 140 passen
gers on board responding to the hurrahs
of the hundreds on the dock, the scene
was the most inspiritIng this enterpris
