PASSENGER AGENTS.
Those of the Transcoutin entail Associa-
tion Are Announced to Meet in
This City on May 13.

Clinton Jones, the local passenger agent
of the Rock Island road, was in receipt OF
a dispatch yesterday stating that the
Transcontinental Passenger Association
had decided to hold meeting in this Citv
on May 13. This announcement was a
great surprise to all the local agents of the
lines represented in the association.
General Passenger Agent T. n. Good
man stated that the news was rather un-
expected to him and that he had received
no direct information regarding it, but yet
considered that it was correct and reliable.
Should this meeting take place as an
nounced it will be the first one held in
this City by the present association.
Among the principal matters to be con-
sidered by it will be the existing differ
ences between the Canadian Pacific, the
Great Northern and the Northern Pacific
roads, and transatlantic business from
the Pacific Coast and trans Pacific busi-
ness from the East. The latter is inter
national transportation and is exem pit from
the jurisdiction of the Interstate Com
meIce Comm ission, but has never before
been taken up by the Transcontinental
Passenger Association, which comprises
all the big lines west of the Missouri River.
Another question to be settled will be
the matter of issuing tickets in blank by
one road to the agents of other roads.
This ruling was made by Chairman Cald-
well of the association some time ago and
created general dissatisfaction among the
agents here, and has been religiously and
persistently ignored. An effort will be
made to have it rescinded. Commissions
to agents of intermediate lines will also be
considered

DROWNED NEAR HoLLIsrER.
Miss Edith o. 'HGra of San Jose Loses
Her Life In the San BsnEto


Her Life In the San Bentto.
HOLLISTER, CAL. April 25.-The body
of Edith O'Hara, the beautiful daughter of
Richard O'Hara of San Jose and we'll
known society young woman of that city,
lies to-day somewhere under the sand and
powders that fill the bed of San Benito
Creek, and for some twelve hours past
searching parties have been vainly looking
for it.
Miss O'Hara was on the way to visit her
uncle, Eugene Sheppard, who lives on
ranch near Tres Pinos.
At Tres Pinos she was met by friend,
Walter Page, and they started in buggy
to the Sheppard home. On the way they
had to ford the San Benito. The crossing
is bad one. and the creek has been high
for several days past. 1t was not, never
theless, considered dangerous, and Page
had crossed there in the morning on the
way to meet the train.
1t rained steadily in the mountains, and
the creek got higher and higher. Still,
upon reaching the crossing at the road
house, young Page did not hesitate to go
through. Whipping up his horse, the
buggy entered the water and was half way
across before there was sign of danger.
Then suddenly wall of water was seen
coming down the creek, and though the
horse made desperate effort he could not
get out of the way.
While he was holding to the wire the
horse, which had been carried off its feet
and the overturned buggy were swept
down upon the man and woman, strug-
Cling in the water. Miss O'Hara was torn
from Pages grasp and swept down to her
death in the muddy water. Page was torn
loose from the fence, also, but succeeded
in grasping the wire again, and eventu-
ally in drawing himself out of the water.
The horse and buggy were both swept
out of his view down the creek.
The half-drowned man made his wav
home on foot. and searching parties were
at once started out to find the BODY of
Miss O. O'Hara, but SO far have met with no
success in the quest. The bed of the San
Benito Creek is filed with sand and
powders, and farther down, if the body
should have reached there, are quick
sands which engulf and hide all that come
to them.
SAN JOSE, CAL, April 25.-Miss Edith
O'Hara, the young lady who was acci-
dentally drowned in the San Benito River,
was daughter of Robert O'Hara, horse
shoer of this city. She was % years of
age and had a large circle of acuuaint-
on her way to visit the family of her
uncle, Eugene SHEPPARD, who lives on a
ranch near Tres PiDos. The father and
stepmother of the dead girl lett for the
scene of the accident to-day and every
effort will be made to recover the body.

Over -Four Score Men Buried Alive in a
Mexican Mine and but Half the
Number Are Rescued.

CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO, April 25.-The
most terrible mining disaster that has ever
occurred in Northern Mexico happened
Thursday afternoon at the Vieja mine,
about twelve miles from this city, in the
Santa Eulalie district.
1t is sometimes called the Santa Eulalia
mine. p. R. Prieto, the owner, urged the
miners, who are Mexicans, to continue re-
moving the pillars in spite of protests, it
is said, and the terrible accident resulted.
Over eighty-five men were at work when
the cave-in occurred. Of these eighteen
escaped, sixty-seven were buried and of
these thirty-seven have been taken out
seven of whom are dead and thirty seri-
ously crushed and many will not live.
There is very little chance oil recovering
alive the thirty men yet under the earth.

casion of his notification and acceptance OF

cation committee consisted of Frederick X E.

d. Syester, of Washington, and H Maurice

The notification speech was delivered by

said he accepted the nomination upon the
platform adopted and pledged himself to
make an active and vigorous canvass of the

Hon. Blair Lee for Congress.

The Democrats of the Sixth Congressiona
District On Thursday of last week, at Oak
land, nominated Mr.. Blair Lee, of this coun.
ty, for Congress without opposition.
Charles M. Miller, of Swanton, was made
chairman and Lewis D. Seyster secretary.
During the absence of the committees on
organization II. Maurice Talbot, Of this
county spoke upon the political question
OF the day. He said the Democratic plat.
form Of to- day was typically Jeffersonian.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
"fhe Democratic party, true to its history
as the representative of the common people
and the defender and advocate of legislation
calculated to carry out ideas of government
based upon the doctrine of guaranteeing to
all the people an unqualified right to liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, give their un-
qualified Endorsement to the platform adopt
ed by the national Democratic convention
recently held in Chicago, and we pledge our
selves to prosecute an active and earnest
campaign with the intent and purpose OF
giving an overwhelming majority to Bryan
and Sewall in Maryland.
awe condemn with all the emphasis we
have power to express the undemocratic
attempt of the Repu blicans, Of banks and
other corporations of wealth and power to
steal the name of Democracy and debauch
its pure history by making it the champion
of that element who in their selfish hunger
Tor power over their fellows have ever been
oppressive to the masses
1--WE especially indorse that plank of the
Chicago platform which declares for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and gold.
ave believe the decentralization OF silver
twenty three years ago was an act which
more than any other piece of legislation ever
enacted has decreased the value of the pro.
ducts of labor until we now witness the
spectacle of discomfort and starvation in the
midst of bountlful harvests."
When the roll of counties was called Mr..
John w. Avirett, of Allegany county, arose
and stated that Allegany had no candidate,
and he therefore placed before the conven-
ton the name of Mr. Blair Lee, Of Mont
gomery county, as the candidate for Con.
gress.
The nomination was seconded by N. &.
Browning, of Garrett county, and was made
unanimous.
AT night there was grand ratification
meeting, which was addressed by ] w. s.
Cochrane, William McKaig and Ferdinand
Williams, of Cumberland.
Mr.. Blair Lee, the nominee, is the nephew
of the late Montgomery Blair and son of
Admiral Lee He is lawyer of this coun-
ty and practices largely in Washington
City. He has never held any public office.
He is about thirty eight years of age and
graduated at Princeton College in the class
of 1880. He stood high in college and was
also distinguished for his athletic attain.
ments. He has been a free silver advocate
for a number of years.

In recent letter to the manufacturers Mr..
W. F. Benjamin, editor Of the Spectator,
Rushford, N. Y, says: 81 may be a pleasure
to you to know the high esteem in which
ChsmberAin's medicines are held by the peo-
pie Of your own State, where they must be
best known. An aunt OF mine who resides
at Dexter, Iowa, was about to visit me few
years since, and before leaving home wrote
me, asking II they were sold here, stating II
they were not she would bring a quantity
with her, as she did not like to be without
them" The medicines referred to are Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures
Of colds and Group; Chamberlain's Pain
Balm for rheu matism, lame back, pains in the
side and chest, and Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy for bowel COM
plants. These medicines have been 10 con-
slant use iu Iowa for almost quarter OF a
century. The people have learned that they
are articles of great worth and merit, and
unequaled by any other. They are for sale
