Mrs. Roland, connected with very re-

norant persons so consider her. Others

frequent visits as she ever Quareled with

a little boy told me that when he built
fires for Mrs. Roland a few years ago she
told him to "sst \ chair, quick, for Lucy"
upon one occasion.
When be did 50 be heard distinctly the

Lucy was actually burned alive in that

Citizen.

Vallejo, Cal, Sept. 81 Commander
McCalla. naval equipment officer at Mare
Island navy yard had an alteration with
Robert Gore which may cost the com
mander a trial by court-martial and pos
sibly his commission. The trouble arose
over the contract for supplying hay. The
price named in the bill was 50 10 q ton.
Gore went to the navy yards to collect
the bill. The contractor Informed Nc
Gala of the object of his visit. McCaila
told Gore he was supplying civilians of
Vallejo with hay at SIS a ton. This Gore
denied and hot words followed, Gore in
forming McCalla that he was no gentle
man and also said something about the
commanders uniform being a shield
against personal chastisement. The com
mand1r peeled his uniform coat and east
it upon the floor, at the same time NOV
ing toward the door, which he locked and
secreted the key. These preparations
were too much for Gore who pounded on
the door and cried for help. As no assist
ance came, Gore began TO run around the
room, overturning chairs and furniture,
while the commander gave chase. Gore
finally put his foot to the door and burst
it open ard the terrified contractor ran
for his life. Official attention will be
drawn to Cores narrative.

PRESIDENT NUNEZ DEAD.
Chief Executive of the Republic
of Columbia Passes



Colon, Colombia, Sept. 21.-It is Off
Nunez, president of the republic of Co
lombia. died on Tuesday morning of gas
tric fever.
Washington, d. c., Sept 21-Julio
Rangifo, charge d affaires of the Colon
bian legation, says that President Nunez
was generally regarded as the ablest and
most patriotic statesmen of the republic.
His residence in the United States as Il
consular officer years ago had given him
close acquaintance with the affairs of
this government, and he had used his in
fiuence to model his own government
after that of the United States. The
charge daffaires does not anticipate trou-
ble over the succession, as President
Nunez, during the greater part of his third
term. has exercised more of moral in
tiuence over the affairs of the country
than an executive direction. On ac-
count Of i'll health he was unable to en-
dure the climate of the capital, Bogota,
and has remained at his home in Ell Ca
brerO. near Cartagena, while the vice
president, Miguel Antonio Caro-, has been
the real executive head of the govern
ment.
Mr. Rangifo thinks that the vice-presi-
dent will remain in control to the end of
the siX-year term for which President
Nunez was elected in 1892. A close
watch will be kept of Colombian affairs
by the diplomatic and naval representa-
tives of the United States owing to the
frequency of revolutions in Central Amer
lea. 1t is hoped that the new admins
teatiOn will prove stable, but should
trouble be threatened a naval vessel will
be dispatched to Colombia.

LOSS OVER A MILLION.
Vast Railway Interests at Portland,
Or, Destroyed by a Sun
day Fire


Portland, Or, Sept. 24.-The most dis
astrous fire in the history Of this city
broke out at 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon in the dock of the Pacific coast
Elevator company and ragged for three
hours, destroying property valued at
nearly S1.500,000.
The fire started in the dock below the
Pacific Coast Elevator company's main
building and the wind soon drove the
flames to the elevator itself. The flames
shot into the air 200 feet. making a beau
tiful sight IN the twilight. The coal bunk
erS of the Northern Pacific Terminal
company on the west side were next at
tackled and soon were a seething mass of
flames. On the east was the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation company's
wharf, 400 feet in length, and this, too,
was soon on fire. There was no means
of getting water on the fire except from
the river, and the freboat is an impro-
vised old scow and of very little service.
The elevator contained nearly 100000
bushels of wheat The new plant of the
Portland General Electric company,
which had just arrived from Lynn, Mass,
was standing in the wards of the Hermi-
nal company on the cars. not having been
unloaded. The plant occupied an entire
train and the machinery was of the most
expensive kind, the most of which was
destroyed and the remainder badly dam
aged. Two hundred freight cars eighty
of which were loaded, were destroyed
The Oregon Railway and Navigation
docks held 1900 tons of freight, consist
ing of wool, salmon, general merchandise
and cement, all of which was destroyed
with the dock. There were stored on the
dock about 10000 cases of salmon from
the lower Columbia river and Puget
sound, awaiting shipment for the East.
1t was valued at about $4,000 and was
partly insured The large steamboat
Willamette Chief. moored at the yard,
took fire and was burned. She was used
as a tow boat and was valued at about
$45, 00G Three men are supposed to
have persisted in the elevator. Charles
Anderson, a man named Brown and one
man named Murray, were seen at an
upper story window of the elevator and
it is thought they were all burned. The
losses, as nearly as can be ascertained at
this time, are as follows: North Pacific
Elevator company. $500,000; Portland
General Electric company, machinery,
$4,000: coal bunkers of the North Pa
cific Terminal company, $4,000: Oregon
Railway and Navigation company. on
dock, freight cars and steamer William
ute Chief, S250,000: merchandise on
docks, 100000. The insurance car
ried will reach more than 100000. The
Liverpool and London and the Globe In
surance company has a large share of
this
