a EUGENE TRAGEDY.
Albert Moss Attacks the Coleman
Family and Then Suicides.

The first of March will long be remem-
bered in Eugene as day of horror. On
that dayAlbert Moss, young man about
20 years of age, in frenzy of rage at
tempted to annihilate the Coleman fam
lily, and almost succeeded in his terrible
purpose. Young Moss and his father
had some trouble about week ago, the
exact nature of which cannot be learned.
The boy discovered that David Coleman,
a neighbor, sided with his father in the
dispute. Moss went out and secured
possession of a revolver. At $50
O'Clock in the evening he went to the
Coleman residence, and entering, found
Miss Belle Coleman and her sister, Mrs.
Osburn, there. After talking a few
moments, and without the slightest war
ming as to what he was about to do, the
young man drew revolver from his
pocket and began shooting at the young
ladies. Belle was shot through the. arm
and seriously injured. Mrs. Osburn re-
eeived bullet in the breast and expired
almost instantly. Maddened by what he
had done. young Moss rushed into the
next room where Mr.. Coleman was, and
pointing the pistol at him, fired several
shots. Two of them took effect, one in
each lung. The old man fell to the
floor and Moss ran out of the house.
The pistol reports had begun to at
tract the neighbors and the murderer,
finding himself pursued, ran toward his
own home. As soon as the officers
could be summoned they began to
search for him, but it was too late to
capture him alive He had run back of
his house into a vacant lot and there
committed suicide by shooting himself
in the breast.
The tragedy has created the greatest
excitement. Mr.. Coleman is one of the
most prominent men in the place. He
is an old pioneer. Ex-senator P. Cole
man is his brother and he is well liked
by everyone.

Pintai1g.

The species of wild ducks known as pin
tails have a peculiar habit, during the
mating season, of descending from great
altitude at an angle Of about 45 degrees,
with the wings stiffiy outspread and slight
ly curved downward. The bird is frequent
ly SO high that the noise produced by it's
passage through the air is heard for sew
eral seconds before the bird comes into
sight. 1t descends like meteor till within
few feet of the ground, when a slight
change in the position of the wings sends
the bird gliding away close to the ground
several hundred yards without stroke of
the wings. The sound produced by this
swift passage through the air can only be
compared to the rushing of the wind
through tree tops At first it is like a muir
muir. Then it rises to a hiss, and as the
bird sweeps by it is almost roar.-St-

DRAWBACKS OF FREE LIBRARIES.
The Book You Want Is Always Out and the
System of Fines Annoying.

System Nl Il tklcs fAuAtylH$ss
Here is one mans experience of free
circulating library: 81 gave my. reference
and took out my first book. 1t was good
to scan the library list and see the amount
of literature I could read free. The sec
ond time wrote, according to rule, the list
of cabalistio figures which index the book,
and after nearly half hours delay was
told that the one I wanted was out
Then put down fresh, sets of figures and
wasted more half hours, but they were
all out, until I finally took, in despera-
ton, a book recommended me by the young
woman who disappears for such an age to
make the searches. This book proved SO
uninteresting that brought it back next
day and again went through the figure
list business and the half hours of waiting
until wound up by repeating my previ-
Gus experience and taking book by rec
ommendation.
II threw it aside on reaching home and
forgot had it until postal warning me

weeks in which had it, had now set in,
I turned up with it when cents were
due, took out another I didn't want and

possession, I left town. A siege. of postals

ten all about the book, and my friends

tion of having stolen from the library, and
that my reputation was in an unpleasant
fix. now pay for my books. New

UNEASY ABOUT AlAzINToFF.

ne Aftempted co XIII Privy Councillor
and Has Escaped From Custody.
Private advices from St Petersburg
say that great uneasiness prevails In
court circles there over the escape OF
the young man Hiazintoff, who couple
of months ago attempted to kill Privy
Counselor Pobyedonoszeff. When in
prison, Hiazintoff's demeanor was so
strange that he was sent to an asylum
for the insane and there kept under OBJ
servation night and day in special care
On June 81 he pleaded that the terribly
hot weather was killing him, and il
consequence he was for the first time
allowed to take exercise in the asylum
grounds with the other inmates. On
the same afternoon he managed to es'
cape, evidently with the connivance of
somebody within the asylum, and moth
ing has since been heard Of him.
The uneasiness referred to is due to
the belief that Hiazintof will most GER
tainly be heard from sooner or later in
connection with some desperate deed.
He is o militant nihilist, imbued with
fanatical belief in the necessity for
shedding the blood of tyrants who stand
in the way of the regeneration of his
country, and he is utterly reckless of his
own life. The police are confident that
he will not attempt to leave Russia and
are equally certain that he will not long
remain idle. London Cor. New York

Petroleum.

The theory that the remains of ami
petroleum is formed by nature is still
held by some prominent scientists. And
as to the manner iii which the organic
substances of those animals became de-
composed DR.. Engler sets forth as a
primary starting point the fact that such
substances consists essentially Of nitrog-
enated material and fat, the former cas-
lily decomposed, the latter very staple,
as has been well known for long time
and demonstrated by exact investiga-
tions, examples la proof being the wax
Of cadayers In old graves, the fat in the
bones of mammals thousands Of years
old, and the fat on the bottom of the
ocean recently found.
Whether and how the fat was de-
composed I'M this long period by the wa
ter splitting up glycerol and forming
the free acid--for instance, the fat in
the bones OF mammals cannot be an.
swered, but both fat and the fatty
acids form petroleum when distilled

tie mechanical process of the transmu-

easily accumulate, and, later on, under
the pressure of sedimentary layers or
strata-perhaps under the influence of
heat, too-are transformed into petro-
