DELAYED BY An ACCIDENT.

Vexatious incident Prevents COM
plctc Test of the Ninth Street Road.
A number of the officials of the Metro
politan Railroad Company, including Presi-
dent Phillips. Directors Wilson, Weaver
Cammack. Spence and Grunwell, Secretary
Coleman, Superintendent Lowery and others
and score or so of invited guests, assem-
bled at the power house of the 9th street
branch of the road,at the foot of AZ street.
last night, to witness a test of the new
electrical equipment of the road, which
was to have been in the nature of a trip
in one of the new cars out to the Bound
airy and return. The car left the power
house in trail of motor car POI at 1910
o'clock, went down around the loop TO
water street, and up the latter thorough
fare to the junction of Water street nth
street and l. street and along the latter 10
AZ street again. When the junction at a.
and l. streets was reached the train which
had been running smoothly, came to sud
den stop. The passengers, who were well
shaken up, jumped Off to find that the
switch at the junction had not been prop
erly turned in the right direction causing
the car to run on the tracks in a straight
line while the pillow rod, which goes through
the slot. went in a different direction.
There was badly twisted rod as a result
and shattering of a couple of insulators.
AFTER working some time the workmen
succeeded in removing the twisted rod and
repairing the slight damage that had been
done to the insulators Immediately at the
point OF the accident, and In less than an
hour the equipment was again ready to be
tested 1t was discovered, however, that
the other motor cars in the power house
did not have their pillow rods affixed, and
consequently 1t was decided to postpone
the ride over the road until midnight to-
night. Electrician Julian Smith was in
charge OF the motor car last night, and
there were number of experts among the
passengers, all of whom declared that
there was no doubt of the successful opera
ton Of the new system, and that the only
thing that prevented substantial proof of
this last night was the unfortunate" acct
dent at the switch

DOGS AT LARGE.
Owners Must Mo- Allow CANNES Their
Liberty.

The police viii in all probability declare
war on the owners of dogs who allow their
CANNES to run at large. There is a section
of the police regulations which makes this
an offense, although the section has been q
dead letter ever since 1t was made law,
This particular section has no reference to
iicenseds dogs, and it matters not whether
or not there is a tag on the dog. penalty
is provided for allowing the dog to run at
large. In the Police Court today there was
a case brought under this section, the de-
PENDANT being a colored woman named Car
RE Brooks. Complaint had been made
about her dog running in the public parks,
and she failed to keep the animal at home
after receiving the warning.
Judge Miller in the discussion of the
case, said h. thought the law ought to be
enforced especially in hot weather. He
spoke of the dangers attending children
on the streets when a rabid dog is at large.
and said he thought for the protection Of
the little cnes the dogs should not be al
lowed on the streets. fine of IS was i'm

piled to Judge Cole for the release of Mar

he could not release the woman, as the
matter had passed beyond his control.

the District Passes Away.

John G. Judd died this morning at his
residence, 2srS 14th street. Up, to within
short time of his death ne was conscious
and knew those about his bedside. He had
been a sufferer from diabetes for about
two years and during the past few months,
although he came down to business as
often as possible he was quite feeble.
Those who saw him marked the change
which had taken place. and to his large
circle of friends and acquaintance the
news of his death will not come with the
shock of a sudden surprise.
Mr.. Judd was one of the well-known and
active business men of the city. He had
been resident of this city for more than
forty years. and during the greater por-
ton of that time he had been in active
business and was the senior partner in the
well-known printing and publishing firm of

Mr. Judd was born in London, England
in the year 1924 and received his education
in that city. When a few years past his
majority he came to America, going first

UNDOUBTEDLY INCORRECT.

Under the head of can Incident of
Rev. o. D. Taylor's Arrest" the Orego-
nian prints the following:
Several days ago, Parker Owens. a
sergeant OF police from Saginaw, Mich,
arrived in Salem for the purpose of Sc
curing requisition papers for the arrest
of Rev. 0. .. Taylor, Baptist minister
at The Dalles. The story of the arrest
and the sensation it caused at The Dalles
has been fully told in The Oregonian !;
but there is one part of the telegraphic
account of the arrest that can now be
explained. 1t was stated that the Mich
igan officer was in great haste to get
away from The Dalles, and that he drove
of in buggy with his prisoner, fearful
of habeas corpus proceedings. 1t was
no such fear that really alarmed the
Michigan sleuth-hound. He had no
requisition papers for his prisoner. He
secured them all right from Governor
Lord. and after Private Secretary Duni
way had safely sealed and delivered
them to him, as he thought, Owens
started for The Dalles. Instead of put
ting the papers in his pocket, he laid
them on table and went out of the
statehouse. The papers were found the
next day, and sent to Chief Minto of
this city for delivery to Owens, but the
latter, during his stay in Oregon, never
called on an officer to make himself
known. When he reached The Dalles
he must have discovered his loss, but
not wanting to wait, he successfully run
4 bluff and got his prisoner out of the
state.
The writer of the above has either
been wrongly informed. or Owens exc
cuted clever deception. The requisition
papers, signed by Governor Lord and
Secretary Kincaid, were duly presented
to Mr.. Kelly, the deputy sheriff, and by
him carefully scrutinized before serving
the process. The same papers were
afterward read in the presence of Mr..
Taylor. While it is true there are
s0me features connected with the man
ner of Mr.. Taylor's arrest that will not
appeal to the commendation of an un-
prejudiced mind, yet the lack of lequi-
sition papers was not one of these.
The possible explanation to the mat
tar is that since Mr.. Owens had three
sets of requisition papers made, one of
them may thave been left upon the
table, as reported; but the others, or
one of them at least, Owens brought
with him, and this one was seen by the
gentlemen mentioned and others in the
city.
So much would not be now written
concerning the matter If it were not for
the fear that should it be left incorrect
ed Mr.. Kelly's action in making the ar
rest might be criticised. The deputy
sheriff acted with proper authority, and
did exactly what the requisition papers,
which he held in his hand, called upon
him to do.

THE DENVER DISASTER.

The terrible disaster, by which the
Gumry hotel was yesterday blown into a
heap of debris and converted into a
horrible crematory, by the explosion of
a boiler, causes every traveller to shud-
der. Yet, when we think of it, we
wonder that such things are not more
frequent. A sudden fire in the night
within most any hotel, or the explosion
of boiler-and most modern hotels
have boiler from necessity brings
about appalling loss of life.
There should be in every state the
strictest inspection of every hotel in re-
spect to its fire apparatus and escapes,
its machinery and elevators, at frequent
intervals. In this state there is nothing
of the kind done, and no doubt every
hotel in the state is exposed to degree
that, in case of emergency. would rem
der them most dangerous. The recent
fire at Pendleton brings this matter
home to us even with greater force than
the more terrible Denver disaster.

''Surry'' urges THE CHRONICLE, in
yesterdays issue, to continue its cam
paign for better roads. Most heartily
do we respond to such suggestion, and
we are gratified that our suggestions
heretofore made are appreciated. We
desire to avoid riding, or appearing to
ride, a hobby. Portland has a road
club, which will no doubt exercise
strong influence for better roads. The
Dalles cannot haYe a club of that kind,
because it has not the wealth, and our
citizens have not leisure to devote to it
but we could have road club, and such
club as we could maintain would do
more toward good roads than all the
newspaper talk of THE CHRONICLE, or
other papers. We have often called at
tention to the road from Smile to the
brewery hill. Persons who travel it in
sist that 1t is the worst part of the road
between mere and Dufur. This should
not be so, and the influence of a road
club is needed as to that, as we'll as to
other approaches to the city. A little
money, properly expended, would make
permanent, smooth and wide road
through Thompson's Addition. Let us
have q road club.

with the killing of the missionaries and
destruction of their property. This viii
no doubt be the only way to bring them
to punishment, for the Chinese govern
ment is not likely to be intensely inter-
ested in the matter. We wonder how
the people of Tacoma would have felt to
have had Chinese army encamp in
their streets in 1885, seeking the arrest
of the persons who looted the Chinese
houses and stores there. As we remem-
Der the outcome of that outrage, no one
was punished, and our government did
not seem to interest itself much in the
matter. But then, that was civilized
mobbing and lootfng; the similar work
at Kee Cheng was that of heathens.

ence as to whose bull is gored?

Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
ce1t1ge of cases, and we believe, fully 08
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme ernaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by g Golden Med
ical Discovery" !" were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy 'enulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred 1naladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps
