IT Went DowS IssTANTLY.-Nr. Cas-
teel, the engineer on the o. G. & f.
freight train wrecked at bridge "a states
that when almost across the bridge he
felt the bridge giving way and almost in
stantly the cab was swept off the engine
by the cover OF the bridge as the
structure went down. There was alb
solutely no time for action at all. The
fireman, Mr.. Pursifull, just reached
out one hand striking hot pipe that
burned him. The whistle, as well as the
cab was swept off. No car jumped the
track at all. The bridge just simply gave
| way and went down. This is the engi
neer's view, and it will be probably bt
verified by the investigation that vii
be made OF the structure.

RATHER PIcuLIAR.-There IS condi-
ton of affairs in the transportation OF
freight from Portland % points of equal
distance on the $. p. lines. that has been
called to our attention, that very much
needs the kind offices OF the raj road
commission or somebody else TO adjust.
From Portland to Scio. or West Scio Is
"a miles: for the class of freight We have
in mind the railroad charges . cts per
hundred. From Portland to Albany the
distance is nearly so miles; yet the same
class of freight as above is carried for {
cents per hundred. Making difference
of is cts per hundred pounds that Albany
merchants have advantage over our Scio
merchants. From Albany via the Leb-
anon Junction over the 5. p. is about sl
miles with charge of 10 cents per hum
dred for the same class of freight. Our
merchants can save cents per pound
il they ship to Albany and then reshlp
to West Scio, over shipping from Port

of nearly 50 miles in distance.-Press-

How Din IT rHsPs-ES.-Col. Eddy view
Of the wreck on The O. c. & +. as given
Portland paper Is that the front part OF
the train was 10 go 10 Pioneer TO do some
switching, while the lc2r end would fol-
low down the grade ia. charge OF the
brakeman, and that in dividing the
train he jar caused the bridge 10 so
down. Pioneer is mile and half
from the tunnel and the rear brakeman
and engineer and firemen would certain
ly have known OF the fact. and even If
the train had been divided at that place
il would have caused no percepilble jar.
Mr.. Castteel states positively that the
train just simply sank down without any
jar. and the rear brakeman ielt no jar.
The truth is, the bridge was defective.
On April Is the commissioners after ex-
smining the road addressed letter TO
the Supreme Court urging as early de-
cision in the pending case as possible, so
that the road could be put in condition
before summer travel, which the court
promised TO do when the papers were all
before il.

FAT STOCK AND ALFALFA. 4. A New Mexico Mans Im-
 pressiOnS. Enthusiastic Over the Salt
 River Valley. The Fourth National Irrigation Con- gress Made No Mistake in
 Selecting Phoenix.

One of the most industrious of the members of the Fourth National lrri- gation congress was Thomas J. Clark, from the upper Gila valley of New Mexico He came west with the Phoe- nix excursion and has lately written to the Silver City Sentinel long and very entertaining letter reciting his experiences. From the letter the fol- lowing extracts are made:
 My pen cannot describe the hand some buildings, the beautiful gardens, the graceful shade trees, the broad fields of alfalfa, the fat lazy stock grazing on them, the miles of fruit or chards, and broad fields in nut culture, the sweet smelling flowers on every hand and all made perfect by irriga- ton. On one side of ditch you will see land in it's natural state, and on the other where water has been ap- piled, is a perfect garden of beauty. The land before the water is put on it does not look as if it would support a lizard Nothing grows on it. But as soon as the water touches it wonder ful change takes place, and the desert l and thousands of acres in the Salt River valleys of just the same kind of land All it wants is water.
 "We were told by men living in Phoenix, men of high culture and un- derstanding, that there were two places where reservoirs could be built. One is on Salt river at the box, where the river runs through a narrow canyon 500 feet high. It is not over POO feet wide on the bottom. A dam across this canyon 180 feet high would back the water in the valley above fourteen miles with no chance for the water to escape. The other place is almost as good and would have fall of 150 feet at one place Such 8 water power can scarcely be realized; the amount Of ma chinery that could be operated by it would be tremendous.
 Tn short the Salt River valley has a wonderful future before it. I say to you that are without homes: Go to the great Salt River valley where the land is cheap and irrigation is almost perfect. The Fourth irrigation con gress made no mistake in selecting Phoenix as the place to hold it's next meeting.
 "If we had been the crowned heads of the old world we could not have had better treatment. Our people had nothing but praise for the manner of treatment we received in the Salt River valley. Heretofore whenever I had a good time, I had to pay dearly for it, but on this occasion the good people
 
 "We visited the ostrich farm where there were about fifty of these birds. They are fine and plump, living on al falfa. We were loaded down with fruits and flowers, the gifts of the good citizens of the Salt River valley. I hope it will not be long before Arizona will add another star to our National banner"

DALTON-WILLIAMS.
Two Prominent People United in
 Marriage.

Yesterday morning at o'clock Thos E. Dalton was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Mrs. Mamie E. Williams The ceremony was performed at the Catholic church by the Rev. Father Jouvenceau. The wedding was very quiet, only few friends of the con tracing parties attending.
 After the solemn words were pro- nounced that made them man and wife the couple were driven to the depot of the north and south line, whence they were soon speeding toward Los An geles. They will remain on the coast for about ten days and will then re- turn to Phoenix.
 The groom, T. B. Dalton, is one of the most popular and best known bus mess men of Phoenix. He was for merly superintendent of the Phoenix schools, after which he successfully embarked in the real estate business. He is now the senior member of the Phoenix Stationery and News com pany.
 The bride is also well known in the valley, having resided here for ten years. For several years she has con- ducted a private hotel on Monroe street.

WILL STAY IN PHOENIX.
Burt and Cooley Are to Stay With the
 Country.

s. P. Burt and Caleb Cooley, the men concerned in the Mesa episode, are still in Phoenix, all other asser- tions to the contrary notwithstanding and state that they intend to stay, here to enter into business as dyers and cleaners. They naturally seek to know why an especial attack should be made upon them when their course all through the hideous plot was simply that which should have been pursued by any citizens who had at heart the public welfare and desire ito aid in the apprehension of such midnight assas- sins as Dr. Rose The evidence bears out the assertion that Cooley acted in the matter simply as a friend of Burt and, outside of the condolences re- ceived, had no part in either the plot or it's overthrow. Burt, all through, acted under the instructions of the dis trict attorney and sheriff and is surely entitled to the credit and to the re- ward of a successful detective.
 There is yet mystery, however, as to the identity of the individual who "shadowed" Burt and who, in turned coat and hat, was observed by Slank- ard stealing along the alleyway near the Williams house in Mesa a few minutes before Rose and Burt raided the house. He has not since been seen, but is believed to be Will Rose. brother of Dr. John Rose. Will Rose is one of the most noted criminals of the south and is an escape from the Little Rock penitentiary, to which he had been sentenced for long term Of years The representation of the Rose family in Phoenix is swollen by the presence here or hereabouts of the woman with the moustache, who with out doubt is Mrs Annie Wilson, a sister of the man killed by Orme.

THE CATTLE TRADE.
How the Maricopa & Phoenix Has
 Provided flor It.

This evening Buyer Patterson will ship a trainload of fat cattle from Phoenix to Los Angeles over the South ern Pacific connection The Maricopa & Phoenix has lately been making es- pecial efforts to retain the cattle ship ping business and has provided a thor ough equipment to such end. Fifty four of the finest Burton stock cars are now running between Phoenix and other southwestern points, each car marked 'Maricopa & Phoenix Rail road" and dozen or more are to be found in the yards ready for shippers.
 The cattle-pens near the round- house are being materially improved an addition 300x137 feet being now con- structed. The finest of cattle scales are also replacing the former weighing apparatus, and soon the yards may be considered as among the best equipped in the west.

MURDERER MEYERS ESCAPES.
Under Sentence of Death He Dashes
 Out of Jail

ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 3O.-Will My CTS, under sentence of death, dashed out of the county jail at 4:O5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and is still at lib- erty. He was traced eight blocks, but at Washington and Richardson streets the trail was lost. The escape was well planned. His purpose was known a week ago, it is said, to his friends.
 A woman named Mrs. B. G. Kellam, who says she is spiritualist, called to see Myers yesterday afternoon. He was taken into the sheriff's office
 Jailor Mardis and Bailiff Pollock were in the room with the woman and the prisoner. Mardis went out to wash his hands, he says. Suddenly Myers jumped up, pointed a pistol at Pollock
