VESSEL LOST.
Fire Destroys the Steamship
Messenger in Dock at
st. HelenS.
The Captain, His Wife and the Crew
Narrowly Escape Death in the
Flames.

ST. HELENS, Or, July 24.-The
steamer Messenger, owned by the Shaver
Transportation Company, and running
temporarily in the place of the Young
America between Portland and st. Helens,
was burned to the waters edge this morn
ing about 1 o'clock. Captain and Mrs.
Church, with the crew, had hairbreadth
escape from burning with the steamer.
The fire resulted from the explosion of a
kerosene lamp in the abin.
All hands except the watchman were in
bed and asleep, he being on the freight
deck. so far from the fire that the flames
had full control by the time they were
no oticed. The watchman's first duty was
to rouse the slee ping inmates of the cabin.
By the time they had been got on to the
wharf the NJ Messenger was mass of flames.
The boat lay at Muckle Bros wharf and
rendered by she st. Relens fire depart
ment the large mill owned by this firm,
together with its lumber-yard, would have
been destroyed.
The Messenger was stern-wheel stea m
er, 100 feet long, 16 feet beam and 8 feet
draft. Her cargo tonnage was 125. 45 tons
net. She was built in Portland in
1891 and was valued at about 5000.
The escape of Mrs. Church from the
burning vessel, with her baby in her arms,
was thrilling in the extreme. The mother
had exhausted the last minute of time in
wrapping her little one snugly from the
cold night air. AS she reached the steam
er's rail had not ready hands been there to
draw her from the pursuing tongues of
fire Mrs. Church and her child would have
been victims of the flames.

Mrs. Dawson's Physician Accused of No-
Iahng Professional Ethics in the
Late Divorce Suit

SEATTLE, WASH, July 24.-An unusual
case and one creating much discussion
among professional men, especially physi-
clans, has grown out of the celebrated
Dawson divorce case. DR.. f. S. Coe, one
of the leading physicians of this city and
State, has been cited to appear before the
King County Medical Society and prove
that he did not. during the trial of the
divorce suit, fagrantly violate professional
ethics in giving certain testimony on
behalf of the plaintiff, DR.. L. r. Dawson.
Mrs. Dawson, so the doctor averred when
on the witness-stand came to him as a
patient and asked that he give her some
kind of drug to quicken the hearts action,
so that her husband, DR.. Dawson, would
conclude, after an examination. that il
would be necessary to send her away on a
trip. 1t was her desire to go on pleasure
tour to California, but her liege lord had
refused to give his consent.
DR.. Coe stated in detail another CONVEX
sation, extremely delicate in its nature,
with Mrs. Dawson, concerning certain
weaknesses to which the fair patient con-
fessed.

result this city is flooded. The entire East

Two Young Women and Their
Soldier Escorts Caught in
an Eddy.
COMES TOO LATE
Bodies of the Victims Plainly Seen
Thr ough the Clear Waters of
the Stream.

VANCOUVER, WASH, July 24-By the
overturning of rowboat in an eddy below
milldam in the Washougal River, not
far from Vancouver, yesterday forenoon,
four persons we're drowned. They were
Henry L. Edison, corporal OF the Four
teenth Infantry; Charles Morris, private,
of the Fourteenth Infantry band; Laura
Guard, Is years old, of Vancouver; Emma
Young, 10 years old, OF Vancouver. At a
late hour last night the bodies of the vic
yer in the hospital ambulance ana an es-
cort wagon from the barracks.
a company of young people went across
the Washougal to pick blackberries yester-
day morning. They were using an old boat
which had been secured from the mill aud
which had been used by several boating
parties. The blackberrying party started
at 10 o'clock to return to the camp, which
had been established on the other shore
Miss Guard, Miss Young and the two
young men got into the boat. The craft
dipped water ana the young ladies became
frightened. Their fright only added to
their danger and lightly counseling them
to ''keep cool' the young men pushed off
for the other side.
The river is only forty feet wide at that
point, but it is about sixteen feet deep and
the water swirls around in an eddy with
considerable force. The eddy caught the
rocking boat and upset it, precipitating
the occupants into the water. Miss Guard
and young Morris clung to the boats
side and the other two went down almost
instantly.
Mrs. Lipscomb, in charge OF the camp
ing party, was witness TO the accident.
She ran to the river bank just in time 10
see Morris and Miss Guard clinging to the
boat. They were calling for help. Edison
and his companion had gone down. Mrs.
Lipscomb was helpless and could only
scream for help. which did not come in
time TO save the lives of any of the four.
1t was nearly an hour before the other
campers got back and learned of the dis
aster. The water, was so clear that the
bodies of the four could be seen at the bot
tom of the creek.
The news was brought to the city by
Private Irwin of the Fourteenth Infantry,
who arrived at o'clock in the afternoon.
1t was sad outing party that returned to
Vancouver.
The unfortunate young men and women
were well known, and their untimely end,
due to carelessness, it is thought, casts a
gloom over the city. Miss Laura Guard s
mother is widow who lives at Vancouver,
and Miss Young is the daughter of a
farmer near the barracks. Edison enlisted
in the Fourteenth Infantry at Seattle four
years ago. His brother, Colonel E. p.
Edison, is prominent lawyer of Seattle.
Morris is a musician whose parents live at
Fort Sherman. He is member of the
infantry band.

SKAGGS SPRINGS HEROINE
An Oakland Young Lady Braves
Death and Is Nearly
Vanquished.
Ascenis a PERCEPTIONS Rcck and Is
With Difficulty Rescued From
Her High Perch.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, July "a. The
guests of Skaggs Springs were thrown into
an uproar yesterday when the news was
brought in that one of party of noun
tain climbers from the springs was occupy
ing dangerous position on top of huge
rock 100 feet above the ground and utterly
unable 10 reach terra frma. "A party OF
Oakland and San Francisco people had
started out in the morning to view the
sights from the top of the highest peak in
the springs. and in one of the widest
spots in the vicinity, a precipitous rock
100 feet in height tops barren mountain
peak. Several of the party attempted to
scale this rock without success, and all but
one declared the feat impossible.
The one who thought it possible was
Miss Sadie Meyerfriendz, well known in
Oakland society. After several futile at
tempts this venturesonle Miss reached the
top. But when she looked around from
her lofty perch she was overcome by fit
of dizziness and began calling for assist
ance. The young men in the party were
unequal to the task OF rescuing the help.
less girl and q messenger was dispatched
in haste for ropes, ladders and large
basket. Footholds were dug in the face of
! the rock and a ladder was fixed in posi-
ton, but it was soon found to be too short
to admit of the young lady reaching the
top rung without great danger.
The now badly frightened girl refused to
attempt the descent and it remained for a
bright young man from San Francisco TO
accomplish the rescue. He attached long
ropes to the big haskell and passed the
loose ends clear over the rock. They
lady was induced to trust her 100 pounds
in this frail support and several pairs of
strong arms allowed the fair freight to
dump down the sides of the rock amid the
| screams of the principal actress and the
| loud cheers of her friends.

Gold and SiIrer Forces Clash on a Lec
fssre PLATFORM

Gold and SiIrer Forces Clash on q Lec-
tfsre Platform.
TULARE, CAL, July 24.-The forces of
gold and silver were pitted against each
other tonight at Library Hall. by A. ].
Pillsbury of Tulare. and ]. w. Martin of
Woodyille engaging in joint debate.
Pillsbury argued for the continuance OF
the present gold standard, while J. w.
Martin advocated the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. The audience was large
and gave both speakers generous applause.
An admission fee of 10 cents was charged,
the proceeds to be given to the Equal
Suffrage Club of Tulare.
Mrs. w. w. Wilmington presided and
introduced the speakers. A quartet con-
sisting of Messrs. Oakford and Carkeek,
Mrs. G. w. Tozer and Miss Pearl Thomp-
son oeened the entertainment with appro-
pirate songs composed by Mrs. A. D. B.
Palmer. The silver song was rendered,
Mrs. ToZer leading. 1t begins with the
lines:
sixteen to one is the battle cry
Martin will tell You why.
This was given hearty encore and the
quartet responded with the gold song, be-
ginning:
So vote for good sound money
The shining yellow gold,
Passing in any country where things are bought
and sold
II has a standard value; It never, never f1ops;
'Tis good for old-line Democrats, Republicans and
"Pops"
In their harangues the debaters went
over the ground which forms the base of
financial argument from end TO end OF this
broad land. The ''crime of '73" and Lom-
bard street were ''swatted'' by Martin, but
his attacks were ABLY met and repelled by
his adversary. Pillsbury twitted Martin
because the latter avoided mention of
Thomas Jefferson's name He declared
that for Democratic orator to ignore the
father of his party was unusual. Martin
retorted with a food OF quotations from
the patron saint of Democracy and was
applauded by the crowd.
Plllsbury is one of the editors and pro-
prietors of the Tulare Register and has
made his influence felt throughout the
San Joaquin Valley. The Register is a
stanch Republican paper and is the only
sound money paper in the San Joaquin
Valley. Pillsbury has just been appointed
secretary of the bureau of literature of the
republican State Central Committee His
duties will commence at once with he ad-
quarters at San francisco.

stoutly presented his side of the discus
sion.
