A Former Resident of The Dalles, an In
mate of O New York Asylum.
NEW YORK, June 9.-Mrs. Laura
Lochhead, of Portland, Or, is con-
fined in the insane pavilion Of Belle
vue hospital, though the physicians
pronounce her sane. The woman Is q
handsome brunette, dark blue eyes,
fresh complexion, as Is generally found
in women of the Irish race. She says
she is %, but she looks younger. She
is we'll educated and refined, while her
clothes are those Of woman OF taste
and means. She claims to be the VIC
tim of malicious persecution on the
part of her mother and brother, who
live at st. Johns, N. B.
Her own story of her troubles Is that
about three weeks ago she had vio-
lent quarrel with her mother, in which
her mother hit her on the head with
china jar. The blow and quarrel upset
her 80 that she went temporarily out
of her head, and while in this condition
her mother had her confined in the
Fairyille insane asylum. As she re-
covered from the shock Of the blow
her mind became clear, and she asked
closely and say whether she thought
she was insane or not. He says he as
sured her that she was not and told her
he would 30 testify in court. She then
demanded her discharge, but consented
to wait few days until she was thor
ouphly conyalescent. Three days
later found the doors open, and fearing
that there was q further plot to detaln
her she walken out. :.
In Boston to make assurance doubly
sure she visited an eminent specialist
on nervous diseases, who pronounced
her perfectly sane, and gave her a let
ter saying 30.
Colonel Waring, street commissioner
here, being an old friend of her father,
also of her, she determined TO come
here and ask him to help her get an
other examination and also assist her
toeetto her husbandin Portland. She
telegraphed Waring, who sent his pri-
vate secretary to the train to meet her.
The secretary, Nine. CArre, took the
colonels guest to her own home on
her arrival last Friday evening, where
the two women became confidential.
Mrs. Lochhead confded to her hostess
the story Of her troubles. On Satur-
day Mrs. Carre reported to Waring, 1t
is said, but threw in little advice.
Whether or not, the colonel acted
with celebrity in causing her arrest
she was sent to Bellevue. Yesterday
the doctors were unable to find any
trace of insanity in the woman. War
ing telegraphed to her mother, Mrs.
William Burke. Today the st. Johns
police telegraphed to her brother, and
he started to bring her back there, but
the hospital authorities say she cannot
be deported in her present condition,
as she Is insane. Waring has refused
to, talk on the subject tonight.

Judge Judson Harmon Appointed At
torney General.
WASHINGTON, June 7.-President
Cleveland this afternoon announced
the following cabinet appointments
Secretary Of state, Richard Olney, OF
Massachusetts: encouragement, judi
son Harmon, of Cincinnati.
The announcement, which was made
late this afternoon, created no surprise
here, for it has been well understood
for several days that Olnsy would sue
coed to the first place in the cabinet,
made vacant by the death Of Secretary
Gresham. It is probable that tomor-
row Mr.. Olney will take the oath as the
head of the state department. The
president at one time contemplated
other changes in his cabinet and a
rearrangement of several portfolios,
and in this connection consideration
was given to tbs transfer of Secretary
Smith to the department Of justice,
but this and other transfers were
finally abandoned, and the president
concluded that the simplest plan
would be merely to fill the vacancy
caused by Mr.. Olney's promotion.

Prince Hohenlohe; the Prussian min
lister of the interior, Herr Won Koeller;

for the passage of small feet June 10
and 90. The Palatia just touched bot
tom between Rendsburg and Holtenau,
but it was nothing more serious than
up the mud. 1t transpires
that, when landing from the Paldtia at
Holtenau, Prince Hohenlohe had o
narrow escape, as he slipped and would
have fallen overheard but for Herr Won
Koener, who caught hold of him and
pulled him on deck.

Railroad Matters.
Saws the Klickitat ,Aqicnlturist:

Says the hllckltat Ag11cnuoTaS:
The surveying party that run the
preliminary. lines for, the proposed
Goldendale and Klickitat Valley rail-
road TO Lyle were again in the field
last Monday and made q slight change
in the survey beginning near the four
mile post west OF this city and thence
on to the Richards place. The new
line passes directly through the town
lof Centerville, running Cbetween the
.Armory and Main street. being nearly
half a mile north Of the first survey.
Consequently this new line keeps on
higher ground and thereby avoidsa any
ldifficulty that might arise FROM high
water during, the winter and spring.
This is the main reason why the
change was made. The change fs also
very satisfactory to Centerville. Man
ager Brooks is pushing the enterprise
and dtis neeeing with excellent success.
Work on the grade II Is thought, will
be started in about two weeks, begin

EDMIsTON IS GUILTY.
Verdict Against The Ex-Banker at North
Yakima.

Yakima.
NORTH YAKIMA, June 8.-After
dehberating "a hours and talking 40
ballots, the jury in the Edmiston case
brought in verdict against the de-
fendant at 1890 this morning. The
jurars stood six to six until late In the
morning, when one left his associates,
who stood for acquittal, upon the
promise that the verdict for conviction
should bear recommendation to the
court for mercy. The same reasoning
brought the other five around on the
last ballot, although Edmiston's
friends cannot understand what bene-
fit he can derive from such plea for
judicial clemency. Attorney Sniyely,
Tor the defense, viii, Oh Monday, move
fer new trial, and it is believed suffi-
cient grounds for the same exist.
The verdict is q surprised to the ma
jorty of the people who attended the
trial, Edmiston appeared greatly cut
up, hut stated to a reporter that he
would fight the case to the bitter end.
He seems to think populistic influence
in the jury-box effected the result, be-
cause of populists' well-known an
tipathy for banks and bankers.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 8.-A witness
has been found who saw man at the
door of Miss Harrington's fat at 1890
P. NJ. on the day she was murdered.
The witness Is 12-year-old boy, resid-
ing In the fiat below the scene of the
tragedy. The mans back was turned
to the street, and the boy did not see
his face, so he can give no description.
There is every reason to believe that
this man, who was in the act of ring
ing the bell, is the murderer, but the
police have paid no attention to the
lad as witness, not even Interview
ing him. Mrs. Jackson, the sister Of
the murdered woman, has discovered
that the murderer washed his hands
in bowl that was in the room where
the murder was committed. The bowl
was broken, but the water near it was
bloodstained, and there was blood on
the fragments of the bowl. The mur-
derer had been careful to remove the
evidences of crime from his person.
At the ooroner's inquest into the
murder of Miss Harrington, which was
begun today. tenants of the Harring-
ton fat testified that the glass door of
Miss Kate Harrington's suit had not
only never been locked before, but a
key had never been in it. After the
murder was discovered. the door was
found locked from the outside. The
only letter produced significant OF i'm
proper relations between her and Mr..
Buck was dated Chicago and written
on letterhead of Porter Bros. That
was unsigned, aud was not positively
Identified as written by Buck. 1t said:

est you, unles / say love you still. I

The penmanship was not positively
identified as that of Buck. Frank

miliar way in which his father ad.
dressed Miss Harrington. frankly stated
that 1t was because of his great affec-
tion for her. The inquest will be con-
tinued on Monday.
