The Moscow Horror.

The terrible loss of life near Moscow
Russia, last Saturday, from panic amid
large concourse Of people adds an
other thrilling chapter to the dark
pages of history which are now so fire.
quent. 1t is said that the fatalities
will aggregate 1000, but definite fig
ures can only be made until after days
of inquiry. The origin Of the STAN
pede is said to have been the presence
OF wagons laden with 100000 souvenirs
OF the coronation, which were to have
been distributed to the masses. The
people were proceeding to the Kho
diinskoje plain, just outside the limits
of the city where the distribution was
to take place. The wagons were fol.
lowed by multitude of eager peas
ants, when the attendants, with a view
of pleasing the people, threw a num-
Der of souvenirs among the crowd. A
wild scramble began, and as the news
spread that the distribution had be-
gun, those in the distance began push
ing toward the center. People were
thrown to the ground and trampled to
death, others stumbled over their bod
les and met similar fate. The rush
and jam continued until hundreds Of
people were crushed. A large proper
ton of the injured and dead were
women and children, and nearly all
were peasants. The scene of the dis
aster, after quiet was restored, is said
to have resembled the horrors OF a
battlefield, and the burial of the vic.
TINS went on all the night succeeding
the fateful day.
The disaster exemplifes in a re-
markable degree the force of the adj
monition, In the midst of life we are
in DEATH" and shows from what unex-
pected directions the shaft may hurtle
against this mortal tenement. An
other joyous assemblsge, many leagues
distant, has thus been turned, in an
instant, into a throng of mourning
people, by one of those disasters which
was farthest from the thought of any
of the victims, while our neighbors to
the north OF us have not yet dried
their tears over the bridge disaster
which brought another holiday to
sudden close.

Almost the first utterance of Mr..
Pennoyer, Mayor elect, was that he
would begin a thorough and systematic
reduction Of municipal expenses, and
to show that he was not influenced BY
selfish considerations he would begin
with cut of 30 per cent. in his own
salary. If he keeps on talking that
way, there will be nobody who will not

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL. Oct.
Mrs. Jordan received word last even

next Satur day, having just arrived at Vic
toria. DIR. Jordan, during his absence,
has sent the university large number of
rare marine specimens, some of them en-
tirely unknown to science and some OF
them very valuable. DR.. Gilbert of the
geological department says that all these
specimens have been left untouched and
practically unexamined in order that DR..
Jordan mig ht classify them himself.
Great preparations are being made by
students for general hegira to San Jose
next Saturday, which has been set apart
as Stan ford day at the fair. Through the
efforts of Treasurer Frank W. Morrison a
special train has been arranged for, which
will return the students to the campus
after the grand concert in the evening. A
very low round-trip rate has been granted
by the railway company, and from the
present outlook fully 500 students will
spend the day at the fair.

EUREKA, CAL, Oct. 1.-As a result of
the recent catastrophe in Hum boldt
County, the falling of the bridge which
spans Mad River, seven persons in all lost
their lives, while many others were seri-
ously injured. some few perhaps for life.
The gloom which overshadowed Arcata,
where took place the funerals of those
who met their death, has almost disap-
peared. Those who survived the disaster
are gradually recovering. while the people
of the community in genera congratulate
themselves that the loss of life was not far
greater.
To the credit of the Korbel Company be
it said that they intend dealing with the
friends of the dead and injured Justly and
houorably without litigation The COM
panv is wealthy and can we'll stand the
strain on their resources, their railroad
line being one OF the best paying invest
ments in the State. In dealing thus fairly
with the people concerned they will no
doubt maintain the confidence of their
former customers and continue to be a
powerful factor in the business affairs of
this county.
The bridge is again repaired and the
road in full working order, trains running
on regular schedule time. A salutary
effect of this sad affair is the care and at
tention now being given to the other rail-
roads In the county to prevent the possi-
bility of any injuries of like nature.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 1.--Mayor Syl-
vester Pennoyer was in danger of being
assassinated last night by Mrs. M. w.
Henderson, woman of some notoriety in
Portland. Mrs. Henderson claims to be a
niece of Ben Butler and is the divorced
wife of M. w. Henderson, a partner in
the Willamette Iron Works. 1t appears
that her mind has been unbalanced for
some time through use of spirits and
morphine. Concluding that the people Of
Portland desired Pennoyer better dead
than alive, she armed herself with re-
volver and started out as the Mayors
nemesis. Procuring carriage she went
to Mayor Pennoyer's residence on West
Park street. After being informed by
Mrs. Pennoyer that her husband was not
at home Mrs. Henderson departed, but
not before the executives wife had noticed
the woman concealing something under her
wrap. From West Park street the woman
rode to the City Hall, but the Mayor had
departed an hour before. AS she left the
City Hall some friends took her in charge.
Some years ago Mrs. Henderson started
out to kill dog and shot into crowd of
special lors who laughed at her efforts.

families by removing them from the street.

and two feet of debris deposited in the

Preliminary Examination of W. III. Man.
ntom and Eugene Gray.
MILL VALLEY, CAL, Oct. 1.-The pre-
liminary examination of William H.
Mannion, charged with committing an
assault on E. e. Wormuth some weeks
ago, was held before Judge Fottrell to-
day. James w. Cochrane appeared for
the defendant and District Attorney r. B.
Martinelli for the people.
Eugene f. Gray, cuarged with being all
accessory to the assault, was the first wit
ness. 1t was expected that he would turn
States evidence as he had made a con-
fession to the District Attorney, Sheriff
Harrison and Constable ]. w. Maher.
When questioned on the witness-stand
to-day he declined to answer any oues-
tions put to him, on the ground that he
feared to incriminate himself. In his
previous confession to the three county
officers Gray had implicated Mannion and
had said that his own life was in danger
had he refused to carry out Mannion's s
plans.
Gray, after the examination, was locked
up in the County Jail and put under
$500 bail. For some time he has had his
liberty, his former employer, McGinnis of
the Transfer saloon, going bail for him.
District Attorney Martinelll said last
night that Gray would be tried now on the
charge of assault. and that besides this a
charge of perjury would be entered against
him. The examination will be continued
before Judge Fottrell next Tuesday.
