Mackenzie, which was lying at anchor near
Coffin Rock, in the Columbia River. The
Clan Mackenzie was sunk and two negro
seamen, named Austin and Reed, were
drowned. Libel proceedings were brought
in the United States District Court by the
owners of the Clan Mackenzie. A cross
libel was filed by the owners of the Oregon
for damages sustained by their vessel.
Judge Deady decreed that the damages
should be divided and awarded to the
owners of the Clan Mackenzie the sum of
$31, ,292, holding that the Clan Mackenzie
was at fault in that the watchman aboard
did not on the approach of the Oregon

light. This decision was sustained by
Judge SAWYER.

TROUBLE IN 4 MULLEN MINE.
Threats Of linton Miners Cause Per-
nnanent Cessation of York.

WALLACE. IDAHO, May 7.-Operations
at the Hunter mine at Mullen were
abruptly terminated last night. Yesterday
President Henry OF the Miners Union
went TO Mullen and advised Martin
Curran, the superintendent, that if he
did not raise the wages to the
Canyon Greek scale or quit work
the union of Canyon Creek would
be over there several hundred strong, and
that they would run him out of the coun-
try, and if they did not kill him, that
the mill would probably be blown to
pieces.
Superintendent Curran wired to Dennis
Ryan, one of the principal owners, living
at st. Paul, as follows:
Compelled to quit or take chances of
having the mill blown up and myself run
out of the country. Answer"
The reply came TO "close up the mine
and MILL"
Consequently the men were discharged
last night and paid off this morning. The
mine was in operation only week.

SUES A Los ANGELES MAN
Teresa Ramirez Wants $4,000
Damages for Breach of
Promise.
Part of Alfred Scott Chap
man,

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May IA com
plant that is likely to produce some SEN
sations before the end is reached was filed
yesterday against Alfred Scott Chapman,
one of the most prominent horticultur-
lists in Los Angeles County, in which he is
charged with breach of promise to marry
the plaintiff, Teresa Ramirez.
The fair lady in the case alleges that on
May 26, 1894, the defendant promised to
marry her within reasonable time, and
that, confiding in the promise he made
her, she has always since remained unmar-
ried, and up to the day of the marriage
of defendant to another person she was
ready and willing to marry him.
The defendant, however, disregarded the
solemn promise he had made her, and on
or about August 16, 1894, he married Del
fine Santa Cruz. She therefore asks judg-
ment against the defendant in the sum of
$50, 600 damages, together with the costs
of the suit.
The great wealth and prominence of de-
fendant make the suit one of consider
able interest, and it is claimed by those
who know that the case will be vigorously
pushed. NJ. G. Norton is attorney for the
plaintiff.

Women who Imagine They See Objects

Says a writer in The Popular Science
Monthly: Among the curiosities Of
thought which the physician meets
with, unexpected perceptions suddenly
appearing before the mind with the
same vividness as ordinary perceptions,
but without any accompanying external
excitant, are not uncommon. A person
may look ut an empty chair and yet see
a familiar form seated in that chair,
and may even hear remarks made by
this imaginary figure, and not doubt for
a moment that the figure is IN actual
entity. Ihaye seen persons talking with
such imaginary individuals, and have
had them assure me that thoy were as
sure Of their presence and Of their voices
as they were Of my own. 1 have seen
persons manifest the greatest alarm at
the presence of animals about them,
and refuse TO believe from assurance
that those animals were not there.
