The storm In Oregon.

Portland. Jan. Accommodation with
San Francisco was restored today by the
arrival OF the Southern Pacific overland
this morning. nearly twenty-four hours
behind schedule time. The train due
here this morning IS reported eleven
hours late. Nothing has been heard from
the Oregon Railway & Navigation Co.'S
train. which is snowbound at Bonneville.
Steamer Harvest Queen left the city this
morning for Bonneville to bring the de-
layed passengers In. Owing to the pros
tration of the wires 1t Is not known
whether she reached her destination or
not. The Columbia river Is filled with
floating ice, which makes her success
uncertain. On the Northern Pacific the
wires are down, but trains are running
on regular time.
Portland. Jan. 1.-The blockade on the
Oregon Railway & Navigation line was
raised today. and the regular overland
train from the East arrived at o'clock
tonight. All other trains are on time.

Killed the Entire Family.

Meadville, Mo-, July 6.-S. A.
Fields, until recently editor of the
Post, at Polo, Mo-, cut the throats of
his wife and baby with a razor today,
and then ended his own life in the
same manner.
Fields, his wife and little boy were
visiting his mother-in-law, Mrs. Will
lam Thomas, two miles northwest of
this place. They went out in the pas
ture this morning, and the supposition
is Fields cut his little boys throat,
then his wife and then his own. No
reason is given for the deed. A note
was found ON Mrs. Fields saying every:
thing they had was to be left to her
mother, Mrs. Thomas. 1t seems that
Fields and his wife had planned the
tragedy, for she went into the house
after they went ont, and put ON an old
dress and returned to the pasture.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS
Wholesalers in All Lines Are
Greatly Encouraged.
INCREASE IN WAGES GENERAL
Continued Advances In Prices of Iron
Products and Higher Range Of
Wool Values the Features.

New York, July s. --- Bradstreet's 4
Trade Review says: Notwithstanding
the week is broken by the holiday,
favorable trade conditions heretofore
reported continue to exercise a pro-
nounced influence. General advance
in the price Of staples and the wages Of
industrial enterprises is prominent
feature. The extent Of the voluntary
advance in wages reported within a
month or two has outgrown the re-
sources Of voluntary statistical bureaus
which have endeayored TO keep track
Of them. The latest adyices are that
more than 100000 industrial workers
have received an advance averaging
about 10 per cent.
At the East, the most active trade is
reported from Pittsburg, where the re-
vival among the iron and steel indus
tries has stimulated trade in almost all
lines. At the West, the most favor.
able condition OF business is reported
from st. Louis, and the incentive ap-
pears to be uniform reports of favor
able crops prospects throughout the
region tributary to that city. No ma
terial improvement is reported from
the South, rains continuing to be dam
aging to agriculturists. But advices
from nearly all cities reported agree
that wholesalers in nearly all lines are
greatly encouraged as to the outlook for
business during the autumn, believing
the demand will be stimulated by the
very general, and it is believed perma-
nent, improvement in prices. Exports
of wheat (fiour included as wheat
from both coasts Of the United States
amount to 27,0O0.000 bushels this
week.

A New Secret Organization for PoIiti-
cal Purposes.

A New Secret Organization for Politi-
cal Purposes.
Washington, July 6.-Another Sc
cret organization has been formed in
this country for political purposes 1t
is called the Order Of the White Tenn
pie, Silver Knights Of America, and its
headquarters is l2 New York avenue,
in this city. The name indicates that
the purpose Of the society is to advance
the cause of the free coinage of silver.
The Knights are chartered in Virginia
as corporation. The charter names
William w. Stewart, of Carson, New,
as president of the corporation, and
among the other officers and directors
are the names of two ex-members of
congress. 1t is claimed that the lead
ers of the movement are prominent in
all parts of the country.
At the general Office in this city a
number Of clerks are engaged sending
ont free-silver literature. 1t is claimed
that temples are now being formed
throughout the country, and that the
Silver Knights will show considerable
organization. Access to the lodge rooms
can only be obtained by means of pass
words and signs, any discussions that
occur there will be guarded with the
utmost secrecy.

STRANGE STORY FROM INDIA.
Sir Edwin ArnoId's Nephew Killed by
His wife.

San Francisco, July 8.--A strange
story is brought from India by the
teamer City Of Rio Janeiro. The mar
rative tells of the murder Of w. +. q.
Lester, acting superintendent Of police
at Godra, by his wife. The woman
makes excuse for her terrible deed Sy
explaining that her husband was most
brutal to her, and, in moment of pas
sion she shot Lester through the back,
killing him instantly. Peculiar inter-
est is taken in the case. Mr.. Lester is
the nephew Of Sir Edwin Arnold, and
the son Of an old Bombay gentleman,
and Mrs. Lester is the daughter of
Colonel Braham, an old Indian cam
paigner. She married Lester five years
ago.
The tragedy occurred the night of
May 8, at the top Of what is known as
Pawnghar hill, Panch Mahals district
The Testers had been encamped there
for some time, and it was desired that
the camp be moved 800 feet higher.
The lady objected to moving, and beg
ged to be permitted to return to her
home in Bombay, but Lester refused to
grant her request. She finally agreed
to accompany her husband, and ON May
Z, the moving party started up the
grade.
Camp was reached ON the morning
Of the 8th. In the morning Of the 9th,
courier arrived at Mr.. Littledale' S
camp, half way down the mountain,
with the news of Mr.. Lester's death.
A letter written by Mrs Lester was
handed the Littledales, in which COM
munication she made the statement
that she had shot her. husband, as she
could stand his brutal treatment no
longer, and asking that the authorities
be notified. Mrs. Lester was arrested,
but expressed no sorrow for her ter
rible deed, which has created a pro-
found sensation throughout India.

NATURAL GAS SUPPLY.
indianapolis VIII Enjoy the Luxury But
Short Time Longer.

Short Time Longer.
indianapolis, July GA joint com
mittee from the city council, the Com
mercial Club, and the board of trade
has been investigating the natural gas
question ON complaint of the company
to the council that it would be able to
furnish natural gas only short time
longer, unless an ordinance was pass
ed providing for the scale of gas by
meter measurement The committee
has reported, and among other things
says:
'It cannot be doubted that the sup
ply of gas is rapidly diminishing. The
demand upon the field is large Four
separate lines lead into this city, while
every city in the country, from Craw-
fordsville to Lafayette, and from Fort
Wayne to Rrshville, not to speak of
the line to Chicago and one into Ohio,
with large quantities used by manufac-
turers for public lighting, and by the
use of fameaux along the pubic high
ways, and f~ individuals, caused
great draft ubon the reservoir. Data
show that the fields in Ohio and Penn
sylyania have already been exhausted,
and the wells in the Indiana territory
have largely diminished pressure
Many have failed altogether, and new
wells drilled in the territory already
tapped by gas wells do not have the
same pressure that wells in the same
territory originally had.
