GIDEON SENEGAL SUICIDES.
Lived Fifteen Minutes After Taking a
Dose of Strychnine.


When Gideon SENEGAL sat down at
the dinner table at IL o'clock yester-
day, he pulled out of his pocket a vial
of strychnine and busted himself try
ing to extract the cork. His wife, who
sat on the opposite side of the table,
observed the action and sprang to his
side to Illustrate his act, but was un-
successful. He succeeded in. uncorklng
the bottle and swallowed some of its
contents before he could be prevented.
In fifteen minutes, after great apparent
suffering he died. There was present
besides the old lady two sons and a
daughter. The location of the deed
was his home on 15-Mile creek, four or
five miles above Dufur. About the only
remark made by him after he took the
poison was that he wished to die. Tho
old man had suffered considerably from
rheumatism of late, and being "a years
old, he probably spoke truly when he
said he was tired of life.
Mr.. SENEGAL is French Canadian by
birth and it is claimed came to the coast
in an extreme early day and identified
himself with the old Hudson Bay COM
pany. He has been at his present loca-
ton about fifteen years, and was quite
we'll known. He has been hale and
strong, and his acquaintance say they
never knew of his being sick day in
his life.

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
A Conhagration Spoiled Last Night II
It's IncipIency.

An alarm of fire was sounded about IL
O'Clock last night, and coon the streets
of city, quiet a moment before, re-
In few moments more the bells of the
hose carts of the city mingled their
lighter tones with the noise, and five
minutes after the alarm sounded forci-
BILE stream of water was plying upon the
flames of burning barn on the alley
back of Fourth street, between Wash
ington and Court. Every hose cart in
the city responded, including the old
Jackson engine, which, brightly bur-
nished and believing smoke and flame
from its angry furnace, hurried to the
scene of the confagration. The stream
from the Columbia hose cart was found
to be sufficient. however, and the other
carts busted themselves only in keeping
wet the roofs and walls Of the adjacent
buildings.
When the fire bell rang the barn was
enveloped in flames, illuminating the
darkness for radius of 200 feet. Its
owner. Mr.. S. w. Davis, the stage driver
to Dufur, was awakened from slumber
by the noise the horses made, who were
snorting and kicking, under the madden
ing influence of the scorching flames.
He hurried to the barn and tried to save
the horses, but without avail. He sue
ceeded in getting one of them out, but it
was 30 badly burned it had to be killed.
The other was burned to crisp. In the
meantime Mrs. Doane, discovering the
fire, sent in the alarm by telephone.
Engineer Brown was standing within six
feet of the receiver, and not moment
was lost in ringing the bell. At this
time the barn was burning fiercely, and
proclaimed ite own location at glance.
The barn was insured. The horses
were Mr.. Davis best team and were
valued at about $500.
But for the promptness of the fire de-
partment, and the abundance of water,
the entire block would have burned. for
the houses here are large and close
together.
The stream from the Columbia cart
was something tremendous. The mo
ment the swift stream from the nozzle
struck the barn the flames collapsed
and within ten seconds where all was
bright with light lantern would have
been required to mark the location
of the barn. The skeleton of the struc
ture stands today.
The wisdom of the fire commission il
buying meters was apparent last night
Before they were used there has Away
been a low pressure this time of year
caused by needless waste of water
Since the introduction of the meter
water has been economized and there il
always plenty of it for any emergency
The supply has further been strength

irrigating one day above and the othe

Yesterday was one Of the quietest
elections held in Camden in many
years.
There was barely a ripple of ex-
citement on the surface to indicate
the intense interest felt by some,
and no bitterness was manifested at
any time.
The people went TO the polls and
cast their ballots quietly, and quite
a large crowd fingered around all
day to learn the result of the count,
which was not completed until af-
ter s p. m.

Further returns received from the
State election in Alabama Monday
confirm the frstreports concerning
Democratic victorywith surprising
ly large gains for the Democratic
ticket. The count in the big coun-
ties, especially in cities, is slow, but
complete, and the estimated returns
show that Johnson has carried fif-
teen counties that went for the Pop
ulists two years ago, which gives to
the Democrats ~ out Of 60 coun-
ties. Johnson's total majority is
about $4,000. The later returns
are expected to swell this to $4,000.
The Democrats have surely carried
fifteen counties which gave Popu-
listmajorities two years ago. The
Democrats elect the legislature by
a good two-thirds majority, which
