A CHARGE or MURDER,
Harriet Lewis Declared That Her
Grandson Killed Her.

Made the Declaration on Her DEATH bed
a Suspicious Case That the Coroner is
Engaged IN Investigating.
On her tleath-be at her home in
Pencader hundred on Friday, Harriet
Lewis, colored, accused David Grin
mage, a colored youth, her grandson,
of having committed the assault which
resulted in her death. Grinnage was
arrested and committed to New Castle
jail
The assault was committed on Thurs
day night. The old woman, who lived
alone, ono and half miles west of
Glasgow, said that Grinnage knocked
at her door sometime ia the night. She
admitted him, and for a while he sat
beside her on her bed. Upon her ask
ing him what he wanted, he caught
her by q handkerchief which she wore
around her neck. tft
What do you mean?" she demanded,
in her surprise. Then the man struck
her in the face with a club and beat
her into insensibility.
She was found on Friday morning
lying upon the floor of the room by a
boy named Lindell who had come to
investigate, as he had noticed that her
hOubo Wdb HOl Optus w utI IOulu SIG
was conscious, and she accused Dave
Grinnage of the assault.
DIR. w. Il. Skinner Of Glasgow at
tended the woman, and he and the
Lindell boy are said to have heard her
declaration that Grinnage had as
saulted her.
It is supposed that his purpose was
robbery. The woman had recently sold
hp f.
the money she had received for it, She
had some money and Grinnape is said
to have known that she kept it in her
house. Her pocketbook and money are
reported missing.
Squire Salmon was notified of the
deed, and he took steps 10 get her
statement under oath, but she was
dead when he reached her humble
home. He, however, issued a warrant
for Grinnage's arrest. The negro was
apprehended at blacksmith shop,
whore he had taken a pair of horses
belonging TO Delaware Clark, for
whom he worked, TO be shod.
When he learned of the serious
charge against him he declared that he
hadn't done it, and that they couldn't
'skeer" him. He was arrested by
Constable Emile Walter and was
taken before Squire Frazier at Glas-
gov. The magistrate committed him
to Jail.
The prisoner says he is Is years of
age, but he looks several years older
lie denies any completely in the
woman's death. ,r
DIR. Skinner notified the authorities
in this city Friday night of the affair,
and Detectives McVey and Witsi and
Deputy Coroner Chandler went to the
scene Saturday morning.
A coroners' jury held an inquest on
Saturday afternoon over tho remains
andthe opinion was that the woman
came to her death by being struck on
the head with a club in the hands OF
her grandson, David Grinnage, who is
locked up at New Castle.

Who does not know women and young
girls who are continually in tears?
Who always see the dark side? Who
have frequent fits Of melancholy with
out any apparent cause? The intelli.
gent physician will know that il is
some arrangement of the complicated
and delicate feminine organs. The
young girl suffers, bodily and mentally,
in silence. There is undue WEAKNESS,
unexpected pain, unreasonable tears
and fits of temper. DIR. Pierces' Fa-
vorite Prescription exorts a wonderful
power over woman's delicate organism.
it is an invigorating tonic and is spe-
citlc for the peculiar wea nesses, irregu-
larities and painful arrangements Of
woman. Careless, easy going doctors
frequently treat their women patients
for billiousness, nervousness, dyspep-
STA, liver or kidney troubles, when the
real sickness is in the organs distinctly
feminine, and no help can come TIL
they are made perfectly strong by the
use Of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-

a Letter From Lpndon TO rhis city Goes

A few days ago Daniel Farra Of this

Bayard relative to some property in
Wilmington, fer which Mr.. Farra il
agent. Tho letter was mailed in Lon
don, according to the postmark, on
July 24th,' but other post marks show
that 1T was first sent ito Sydney, New
South Wales, and later to this country,
so that it was three months and one
DAY before the letter mailed in London
by Mr.. Bayard came TO Mr.. Farras
hands. ="
An explanation Of the long delay is
that tho letter was addressed in Am
bassador BaJard's own chirography,
and that the initials, ~. S. A., !"
with which.the address to Mr.. Farra'
home Office concluded, looked so much

the methods by which they were

of business sense will believe today
that the road will sell for for any
greater sum than it brought on the
day of sale, and it is extremely
doubtful if another bidder can be
found if the present sale is set aside.
The road has been bid in by men
who have the ability and capital to
construct it over the mountains
and make paying road out Of it.

will serve the best interests of all

Confirm The: Sale.

"a
Judge fNllerton viii have the
matter Of the confirmation Of the o.
P. sale before him next Saturday.
The sale should be confirmed. 1t is
true that the amount bid was mere
pittaiiee, as applied toward the debt
Of the road, but it Is equally true
that it Is the highest sum that will
ever be bid. AS far as the PROPOSE
tion of Wallis Nash to put up a
$50, 900 forfeit is concerned, we
believe that it is mere wind. Nash
last summer was an earnest pleader
for the road to be put up for sale at
an early date. He stated that his
men were then ready. 1t seems as
if he must have lost them and now
wants more time. Nash never has
been bona fide bidder and we
don't believe that he ever will he
one. His is simply a policy o.
delay.
The fact that the amount bid fol
the road will not pay court fees
taxes, etc., and will thus bea
the men out of their hard earned
money is greatly deplored by Il.

Salem, Or, January I6, 1895.
Senator Dolph's succession to
his own seat in the senate of the
United Stated was settled tonight
in the joint caucus of the republican
members of both houses of the leg
islature. The last vestige of op-
position to the caucus proposition
died out this afternoon, when the
meeting of what might have been
called the antiscaucus members as
sembled and decided to go into the
caucus, This meeting was presided
over by Senator Alley, who urged
compliance with the, caucus call
on those present for the good of the
party. Long bafore the hour of
assembling the door of the armory,
room in the capitol basement,
was surrounded BY curious out
siders and much speculation was
indulgei i'll as I'd the appearance of
the anti-caucus element. Predic-
tions of absenteeism were unfulfilled
however, for the last of the hesi-
tating one went in Just before 1880,
and the caucus began. Organiza-
ton was effected by the election of
Senator Alley, chairman, and
Representative Long, secretary.
The roll-call showed every republi-
can present, except Representative
Cole, of Multnomah county, who is
slightly i'll tonight, but Yho voted
by proxy. Considerable ale was
occupied, in fact nearly all of the
two hours the caucus was in ses-
sion, by preliminary discussion,
partly as to the method to be used
in voting. 1t was finally decided
to call the names and have each
member as called upon drop his
ballot in box. This was done.
The first ballot settled 1t. The
count showed: Dolph 40, Fulton
II, Tongue II, Lowell 4, Lord ?,
Hermann 2, Strong I, total 72.
Senator Lowell's four votes were
friendly to Dolph and would have
gone to him upon second ballot.
1t was George l.. Strong, Of Port
land, who received the single vote.
1t was then moved and voted with
out O dissenting voice. that the
nomination Of Dolph be made hnan'

made the trip, but B. F. Jones
caught it i'll Depot slough and tied
it up only few feet from its desti-
nation. 1t is hard luck on the
people of this place after all the
money and work expended for it.
Marsh Simpson and DR.. Carter put
up $I25 in coin besides other small
amounts. We who put in one
hundred and thirty days work
have lost nothing but our time,
and have got more of that than
anything else. All kinds Of plans
are offered to replace the bridge.
The plan of a double span with a
good solid pier in the center seems
better than any other suggested.
The bridge on Big Elk at D. B.
Ramsdell's S only hangs by a straw
and unless looked after will soon
go.
DR.. Carter informs us that some
people below us informed him that
it was by our neglect to remove
drift that caused the bridge to 60
out. We will say this, if those
parties had four-bits a day for the
number Of days work put in i'll a

money than they have brains.
And had the drift all been kept out
until dark Saturday night enough
come in after that time, to swamp
the bridge. 1t has become ai'cus-
tom along the Elkhand Yaquina
rivers for the people in clearing
land to cut the tsees and brush into
the rivers for the high water to
carry away. While this may
never cause the obstruction Of
another bridge. It catches on the

the sand to gather and fill up the

soon will cost thousands of dollars
