Pacific Guardians Appear
August 22.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 14.-Prospects are
good for new move in the Northern Pa
cific railway controversy. AS a result Of
long conference Of the attorneys for the
receivers it is understood that Silas W..
Petit, who had forced the issue on them,
will ask for an order citing the receivers
all along the line to appear in Judge Han
fords court August %, the date set for
the hearing of the application to have
pointed. His object is said to be bring
ing on new evidence to show that the re-
gffigers are w9erkting ia collHsion with the
Northern Pacific for the Great Northern.

If the order is obtained, it will include

Into the Air.

Toledo, O., Aug. 15.-An explosion, fol-
lowed by fire, entirely consumed the
plant of the Peerless refinery, Findlay,
with 100000 loss, half insured. A ben
zine tank first exploded from some un-
known cause and in an instant the build
ing was wrapped in flames. Two still
men, William Adams and William Be
mis-. were probably fatally burned.
Ten oil stills caught next and one
after the other exploded, sending flaming
oil over the surrounding buildings and
ground. Next two tanks of crude pc
troleum, containing $4,000 gallons,
caught fire, sending up red columns Of
flame 200 feet into the air.
A mammoth tank of 10000 barrels,
was fired into with a cannon, letting the
oil run out, where it caught fire. The oil
is still burning and the smoke obscures
the heavens for miles.

CORBETT MARRIES AGAIN.
Jessie Taylor, Otherwise Known as
Vera StanWood, is the
Bride.

New York, Aug. 15.-The statement
is printed here that James J. Corbett
and Jessie Taylor, known as" Vera Stan
wood" were married at Asbury park to-
day. The wedding is said to have been
private.
Vera Stanwood, the handsome, dashin
and INSCRIPTIONS woman who stole til
affections of Champion Jim Corbett from
his wife, is an Omaha girl, and it was
in Ninth street resort that she started
out on the life which she has since fol-
lowed. The woman's right name is Jessie
Taylor. At the time of her birth her faith
er was a sWitchman in one of the Omaha
yards. Her mother and sister still reside
in North Sixteenth street in that city.
From her earliest years she was not sat
isfied with the fare which the switch
mans wages provided, and in looking
for a chance to better herself she found
position in a downtown restaurant. At
this time she gave abundant promise of
the beauty which subsequently enslaved
the hghtlng champion, and she acquired a
list OF admirers long enough to turn her
giddy head.
After a few years Jessie became ac-
quainted with Lon George. who was driv-
ing a. hack in Omaha at that time She
finally married him. After three or four
years OI udrT1eu HE, during winch
child was born, they disagreed and sepa-
rated. The woman claimed that it was
on account of the cruelty Of her husband.
but, however that may be, she graduated
from the married state into a life of
shame. Omaha grew too slow for her
and she went to Chicago where she
adopted the name of Vera Stanwood.
1t was while Corbett, Jim Hall and
party of game sports were doing the
town that the champion pugilist met
Vera. She afterwards accompanied him
on his theatrical tours and was in Wis
consn with him last winter.

Roselle, III, Aug. 15-German Luther
an congregations will take the first
steps toward testing the constitutionality

cOND0NING CRIME.

The Oregonian says: "To speak with
utmost p1ainness it will say Mr.. Lotan
belongs to the Mitchell wing of the
republican party and always has, and 1t
ysas Mr. Mitchell who insisted on and
got fainfs his appointment. Possibly this
statement may be sufficient for those
special and intense admirers of Mr..
Mitchell who are abusing the Oregonian
on account of Mr. Lotan.''
The GAZETTE is not a special ard
intense admirer of Mr. Mitchell, !" though,
probably, it has sufficient admiration for
him for all practical purposes 1t also
feels an admiration for ex-President Har-
rison who appointed Mr.. Lotan, but the
GAZETTE would neither admire nor re-
spect Mr.. Mitchell or Mr.. Harrison
should they uphold Lotan's guilty official
conduct, and berate a sworn jury of good
citizens who found him guilty upon the
evidence and in the light of the law as
laid down by the court. Does the Ore
gonian believe that Charley Mulkey was
not guilty? Does the Oregonian think
it was Mitchell who was instrumental in
securing his appointment? The GAZETTE
does not blame Senator Dolph for Null
keys crimes. 1t makes no difference
whether Lotan belongs to this or that
wing of the republican party, or whether
he belongs to the republican party at ALL
he has betrayed the trust reposed in him
by this nation. He has been convicted
after fair and impartial trial and he is
doubtless guilty. He will and he should
suffer the punishment that the law pro-
vides for his crimes. The Portland pa
pers, without exception, cry loudly,
"Lotan has had such good reputation, :"
and "Blum is so bad, so bad" That
Blum was no angel is generally conceded
but that Lotan's reputation and character
was of the highest grade is safely dis
puted. A notorious gambler as he has
been can not lay claim to an acknowl-
edged reputation for honesty. The
Portland press have been deliberately
upho1ding crime in high places.

IT is noticeable that the observance of
memorial day by the G. A R. has result
ed in general revival of interest in the
identifying of our cemeteries The
observance of the day also is becoming
more general each year, and not only
the G. A. R.. but other societies decorate
the graves of their deceased members
and families with loving care, adorn the
resting places of their dead. The senti-
ment inspired by the observance of this
day is lofty and healthy one, and if it
acconplishes no other object, the organ
ization of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie can be counted by historians as
grand thing for this republic.
