Throughout the race there was q

Caught in the Draw.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. Boy ester
day the steamer Bailey Gatzert, from
Astoria, with sixty passengers, ar
rived up on her schedule and as she
neared the steel railroad bridge blew
the Customary signal for the opening
Of the draw. This was responded to as
usual and the "hyer" started through
ON the east side of the bridge pier.
Before she was half way through
the great superstructre swung back
upon the steamer, catching upor the
star board side well abaft the waist
and jamming her to a standstill
against the pier. The crash was aw
full and the stout vessel shivered like
aspen beneath the blow.
Every soul on board, except the
working watch of officers and crew,
was sound asleep, and for a moment or
two it was feared the horrors of a
panic might be added to the disaster
already at hand.
The bridge was opened and the
steamer released and she passed on
through to her berth, where the
wreckage was quickly cleared away
and the passengers penned in their
crushed stateroOms freed from their
hapless predlcament,
The line of the bridge-bed struck
the steamer about midway of the
height of her state rooms and as most
of the people we're asleep In the aoor
berths, they escaped by few feet the
tremendous sweep of the huge draw.
1t is miracle of good fortune that
scores we're not killed outright, but as
it is, only two people were injured to
any extent and those not seriously.
They were Miss Judge, and Mrs. F.
A, Kuttner, Of Astoria. The former
lady was badly bruised about the body
by being pinloned down by debris, and
Mrs. Kuttner sustained a confusion in
the chest, which will heal in few
days.
The Gatzert is one Of the finest boats
on the Columbia and is valued at S110,-
600. The steamer will undergo repairs
at once and resume her place on the
Aatoria route as soon as possible.
The question or the blame hangs
fire as yet, the character of the ac-
cident acquitting the steamers Of
icers of any negligence since she
was in the draw and at the mercy
of the bridge engineers. Had the ac--
cident been reversed and the Gatzert
struck while bow-on in the bridge
channel, the case would have been one
to involve the pilot, but the blow
came from behind and the charge OF
negligence must remain with the
bridgemen.
Lafayette Follet, the engineer IN
charge of the big draw, is highly es-
teemed and it is difficult to account
for carelessness from him after seven
or eight years Of approved service
here.

MR. JoRY ON UNION
Must Be Founded on Principle and no,
on Pie

Must Be Founded on Principle and not
on Pie.
ED, JoURNAL:-In your report Of
the meeting of the Marion county,
Populist Ex.committee, In your issue
of Dec. 81, notice some errors that
ought to be corrected. The senti.
ment was, as you say unanimously in
favor OF an honorable union of all
forces, who are earnestly in favor Of
better government. The only diff.
ference of opinion seemed to be, as to
how such union should be formed.
You say: "The sentiment seems to be
that representation on the ticket
would be on the basis of the relative
strength of the Populists, Democrats
and Silver Republicans. You would
not haYe been led into this error had
you been able to remain until the
close OF the conference. ! believe but
one member of the committee advo-
Gated the formation OF the union on
50 doubtful foundation as that of
the "ple counter" and he, no
doubt, saw his mistake before
the close of the meeting. 1t was
shown concluslYely, at the meeting,
that union for the spoils Of office,
would bring the political vultures of
all the Interested parties TO the front
and insure the defeat, through deals
and combinations, of every honorable,
self.respecting candidate who might
be so unfortunate as to receive a nom.
ination, while it would greatly en-
hance the chances Of all who were
unscrupulous enough TO use their op-
portunities for personal advancement
No, Mr.. Editor, you were misled;
for, at the close of the conference,
the "Ple Counter Proposition" had
not a single open defender, either
among the committee, or the visiting
members of the party. Nevertheless, l
believe that the Populist county com
mittee which meets January Is, next,
will be able to devise plan that will
meet the approval Of all who desire an
honorable union.
