oyERmANs LIVED IN OREGON.

It is not generally known, says the
Sunday Oregonian, that the family of
Miss Matte Oyerman, who has secured
notoriety i'll connection with the Brown
Davidson scandal in San franciscan,
was originally from the Alsea valley,
just south of Yaquina bay, then in Ben
ton county. The father was John Over
man, and he conducted a small ranch.
They were miserably poor. The family
was large, and all the children, except
one, were red-headed, for which, of
course, no one was to blame. The rank
of the children was as follows: Lizzie,
who was afterward married several times;
Ollie, aterward Mrs. Charles Dubois, of
this city, Alice, Addie, Matte, DR..
Browns friend; Lille, and several small
er children.
The family left Alsea valley about ~
years since. Overman had gone to East
ern Washington and selected Walla Wal.
la as place of residence. He returned
and announced it as his intention to
move The children had no suitable
Clothing, and it is narrated that several
reighbor women volunteered their ser
vices and contributed labor by sewing
for some days before their departure.
They left finally, and went to Wa.la Wal
la, and, later. 10 a~sinall farm near that
city. The subsequent movements O
various members Of the family have
already been printed in the papers.
When she left Alsea, Matte was about
years old, and is therefore now abou
27. She was in Spokane while, and en-
gagged with a sister in dressnak ing

ARMY AND NAVY

Secretary Herbert is in favor Of the double
turret, as adopted for the Kentucky and Kear-
sarge, and unless the Walker Board, now in
session, produces something new and startling
against the system the two.storied structure
will be included in the plans of the battleshi"7
authorized in the Naval appropriation
pending in Congress. The Secretary has fur
nisled the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs
with his reasons for preferrng the double
turret. The plan permits better horizontal
range of fire; it secures vastly greater protec-
ton to the eight-inch guns; it permits the in
stallation Of superior rapid-frc battery; it
secures heavier FIRE in every direction; it
saves the cost and weight of TOUR eight-inch
guns, with their armor substructure, turning
engines. etc. amounting to SPAS, 600, and saves
weight in the empIacement Of the 13-inch
guns.
The indisposition of Congress to take action
on the various military bills has discouraged a
number of officers, who have little hope that
any reorganization measure will be acted on
this session. The Chairman of the House
Committee states, however, ." that there is no
doubt reorganization bill will be considered
by the Committee before adjournment and
favorably reported to the House." He further
says the provisions Of the bill will be on the
same lines Secretary Lamont's proposition.
He gives little hope that such bill can be
passed this session. but expects TO secure for it
place on the calendar. when it can be readily
reached early next session.

MURDER THE SUBURBS.

Washington has a murder mystery which
bids fair TO rival those which have been stir
ring the Western country during the last few
months. Elsie Kreglo, 16-year old daughter
of Isaiah kreglo, who lives on the khngie
estate mile northwest of the terminus OF the
Fourteenth street cable line, was out driving
cows on her fathers farm Monday about 3
o'clock when her sister and colored boy en-
ployed by neighbor heard her scream and cry
for help. They ran to.her assistance at once
and found her standing in the creek with
awful gashes in her throat. She was still
family murmuring when they reached her,
but soon expired.
As her sister, Miss Anna Kreglo, and William
Thomas. the coored boy, approached they
heard a noise in the bushes above and could
make out the form of a negro man escaping,
but could not sec him well enough to identity
him. Just above the creek there is precipice
about so feet in hight. where the hill breaks to
allow the passage Of the creek. The struggle
of the girl to preserve her life and defend her
honor evidently began at the top OF the descent,
for all the way down the slope there are evil
deuces of a terrible fight
Park Policeman Cramer, who had been in
the Zoo a short distance away, arrived upon
the scene aud Immediately took steps to arrest
the murderer. Superintendent Baker, of tho
Zoo. who is a physician, was summoned, and he
and DIR. Gibbons made examination of the
body. Officer Cramcr, at the head of an ex'
temporized posse, then went i'll pursuit OF the
negro and a detachment of Georgetown police
also out and started on the trail. The
woods about the scene of the murder have
been thoroughly searched, but no trace of the
murderer has yet been found, nor has the knife
with which the gashes were inflicted been dis
covered. The only clue is pistol OF 81 call
Der, with two cartridges in it, found about IL
feet from the body and supposed to have be-
longed to the murderer.

GEN. GREsHAM,s REMAINS.

The remains of Walter Q. Gresham. Presi-
dent Cleveland's late Secretary Of State. were
inferred at Arlington Cemetery Saturday last.
President Cleveland and the members of his
Cabinet, now in the city, had intended to meet
the train bearing the body, but this idea was
abandoned, as Mrs. Gresham made known her
desire that the transfer and burial should be
attended with as little formality aud publicity
possible. Secretary Lamont and ore or two
personal friends of the Greshsms were at the
depot. Mrs. Gresham and Otto Gresham fol-
lowed the remains to Arlington in President
CIevelands carriage. At the gates OF the ceme-
terry the funeral party was joined by President
Cleveland, Secretaries Olney, Carlisle and Her
bert and Maj .-GeD. Miles. with eight private SOL
diers and Bugler Sergeant detailed from Fort
Myer. The President and Cabinet took their
places at the head of the line and walked to the
grave, the cavalrymcn from Fort Myer bearing
the casket. The remains were lowered into

Mrs. Humphrey Ward has expressed her
thoughtful. aud exhaustive, and should be-
considered as more or less authoritative, COM
ing from profound lady; but somehow or
other leap year proposing the part OF girls
always seemed huge joke, and never to be
considered seriously. The Philadelphia Bui-
tetiH is authority for the statements. Mrs.
Ward seriously questions" il many women
avail themselves of their leap-year privileges
She imp plies that the right to propose belongs
only to two classes-all men and reigning
queens. Il believe" she says, that it is con-
trary to the instincts Of women to make ad-
vances to the opposite sex, and / doubt if any
English girl, at least, ever wooed pal
pabIy as Helen in Sheridan Knowes's play,
The Hunchback," is represented as wooing

bic that, if the right to propose marriage were
given to women, some good might come from
the exercise of it in certain cases. Busbful-
ness In the young men of our day is a rare fault
or merit, just as you see fit to regard IL; but
still say there may have been men who have
failed to marry the women they loved because
they have been too bashful to ask her, and who,
while they may often have screwed their cour.
age nearly to the sticking place of making a
proposal, have been frightened from their pur-
pose before achieving it. and have at length

hearted and perhaps less worthy sutton or die
