Residence Burned.

At about 11:30 last night the
dwelling of Mrs. Lou Willis in
West Gainesville was destroyed
by fire. Mrs. Willis has been
living in Dallas a number of
years, and her property here
has been rented until about six
weeks ago, since which time it
has been vacant.
The building was worth about
5000 and uninsured, consequent
ly the loss falls heavily on her,
as she is a poor woman. There
can be no doubt that the fire
was the work of an incendiary
as only a short time before il
was discovered an unknown
party was seen to enter the
building Mrs. Willis is an es

Lots of Fun.

Yesterday the courts were kept busy
trying to settle matters between Reid
and Puch. 1t seems Puch had received
a lot of ladies underwear for the p1r-
pose of sellingthe same within certain
territory. According to Reid's story,
Puch left the territory assigned to him,
and sold the goods, or part of them, for
getting to pay for them as sold, accord
ing to contract. Reid telegraphed here
and Nightwatchman Wiley arrested
Puch. No warrant coming, Sheriff
Driver turned him loose, Reid by this
come here and had Puch arrested again.
Then Puch turned over the goods to
Reid, and Reid dismissed the suit. Then
Puch had Reid arrested for false i'm
prisonment, but this was dismissed.
The parties are having an awfully jolly
time, and what they will do next, no
man knows.

DROWNED in HOOD RIVER.
Carl Wood and W. w. Edgerman Lost
in Small Boat.

An accident costing two men their
lives, happened on Hood river, about
eight miles from the town yesterday.
The company building the fume and
irrigating ditch; is now building bridge
across Hood river for the purpose of
bringinging the fume across to the west
side. This bridge is about eight miles
from the mouth of the river, and a
couple of miles below the sawmill be-
longing to Frank Davenport, where lum-
lumber for the fume is being cut.
Monday two men, Carl Wood and a
man who went by the name of Deitrick
but whose right name is w. w. Edger-
man, got in a small boat at the sawmill
intending to go down to the bridge.
The current in places runs very swift.
and in one of these places the boat
struck big bolder and was literally
smashed to pieces. The men were
whirled under by the current and in a
moment were strangled and beyond
helping themselves. Seven or eight
men working on the fume ran to their
assistance, but the current bore the
bodies down faster than they could run.
Up to last night the bodies had not been
recovered.
Carl Woods parents live in Hood
River valley. and he was brother in
law of Dick Fisher Of Mosier.

THE MARIoNETTEs TONIGHT.
Professor Martin Proves Himself to be
Genuine wizard.

The sleight of hand work of Martin,
the magician, is very smooth, and very
interesting. The audience last night
was small, owing principally to the fact
that no one knew anything about it,
until late hour last evening, but those
present were highly and delightfully."-
entertained.
Some OF the tricks are old, of course,
but Martin does them so neatly that
they seem new. His trick of taking a
live pigeon from a tiny box. and after
letting it futter for minute or two
picking it up,and with a gentle stroke or
two making it apparently dissolve and
fade from sight, was a very pretty one
and brought forth storm of applause.
There were dozens of other very pretty
illusions, but the feature of the evening
that caught the little folks was the
marionettes. The tiny figures danced.
performed and talked in the most nat
ural manner, and one could hardly
realize that they were not veritable
Liliputians, come to entertain the little
folks with vision of fairyiand.
While Mr.. Martins exhibition is sure
to make an impression on the little
folks they will never forget, at the same

LAWYER sTEEvEs is ACQUITTED
Jury Came to an Agreement Yester-
day Forenoon.

Xenophon n. Sleeves is free man.
Yesterday at Hillsboro at 10 O'Clock
the one juror who hung out for convic-
ton capitulated, and a verdict of ac-
quittal was returned to Judge McBride's
court.
For oyer "a hours the ballot stood
eleven for acquittal and one for convic-
ton. Saturday the jury stood ten for
acquittal and two for conviction, but
yesterday one of the obstinate jurors
gave up and sometime Sunday night the
twelfth man voted mot guilty. and the
jury went to sleep. Monday morning
when the bailiff of the court was called
he was informed that an agreement had
been reached.
Juror Catchings was indisposed from
the long confinement. He became SO i'll
Sunday that he had to be taken to a
physician.
The great expense of the trial and the
time and care expended in trying the
case demanded verdict one way or an
other, and when the result was an
nounced in Portland general satisfaction
was expressed. The Sleeves jury was
locked up last Friday evening and up to
Sunday nightsit was generally expected
there would be disagreement.
Sleeves returned to Portland yester-
day evening. He was the recipient of
many congratulations from friends on
his acquittal. His friends in Portland
have been confident of his acquittal
throughout, and have resolutely stood
by him during the trial.
The expense of the trial at Hillsboro
will be borne by Multnomah county,
and will be between $25OG and $4,000.
Had disagreement resulted, the case
would never have been tried again.

APPEAL TO CATHOLIC CLERGY.
Ardent CampafXners Seeking Support
for MckiuIey

Catholic priests in and around New York
have been solicited to aid Mckinley. A
priest yesterday handed John c. Sheehan
a letter, copies of which, he said, had been
received in that city The epistle bore the
following headlines: Mckinley and Hobart
Business Mems National Campaign Com
mittee, 4th street, above Chestnut. Phila-
delphia, September 10, 1896" The letter
runs:
Reverend and Dear Sir: We are well
aware that the dignity of your sacred Office
forbids the exercise of your influence in
any political matter involving mere ques-
tions of executive or legislative policy.
Nevertheless, we are fully persuaded that
the questions before the country in the
especially serious character. because they
involve fundamental moral issues.
"a decision In the selection of a presi-
dent that will commit the executive TO n
policy that in the application will forcibly
compromise private financial obligations
debts will be violation CT the basic Chris
tian principle that commands honesty be-
tween man and man.
Recalling with gratitude the patriotism
and eminent public services of the late
Most Rev. Archbishop Hughes and many
others of the Roman Catholic clergy, when
the integrity of our government was threat
ened on a former occasion, We take the
liberty to suggest that the present is a
period of equal danger. The government is
not threatened by physical force, but in
sidious and false ideas, that inspire in
cpient anarchy and contempt for proper
authority, are industriously propagated
throughout our country
