AN UGLY CONDITION OF AFFAIRS
PendletOn's Accounts Are In the
Worst Kind of n Mess.

Pendleton, Or. Jan. H.-The deepest in
terest Ia felt in affairs connected with
the defalcation of City Recorder Lash.
Lash Is confined to his bed with spe-
cial officer detailed to patrol his house
and keep watch. A sensation was caused
by the assertion by a member of the city
council that the total defalcation may be
$4,000 If the present indications hold
good.
Expert Accountant Frank B. Clopton.
appointed by the city council, will make
a searching examination to discover the
exact condition of all departments.
Lash has said that others are impli-
Gated and rumors are afioat which cause
the affair to assume an ugly shape. 1t
Is stated officially that there are no bonds
of Lash for last year to be found, leav-
Ing the city with no protection from loss
of the entire shortage.
Public sentiment Is aroused, and the
demand is general for complete reform
In the methods of keeping the city ac-
counts, since 1t has been discovered that
1t is almost impossible to ascertain just
how much money has been received by
the city for several years past.

ANOTHER EXPRESS CAR ROBBERY.

Safe Opened.

Birmingham. Ala. Jan. N.-Three un-
known masked men held up a train on
the Southern railroad at p. m. tonight
near Berry station. 70 miles west of Bir-
mingham, and robbed the Southern Elk
press company's car. 1t Is the second
time within a month that the same train
has been robbed in that locality.
The bandits uncoupled the express car
from the rest of the train and compelled
the engineer to pull ahead to a secluded
spot, where they forced an entrance to
the express car and overpowered the mes
senger. His safe keys We're secured and
the local safe quickly rined of Its con-
tents, which the express officials say
amounted to $780, Before leaving the car
the robbers selected from among the
freight packages a four gallon jug OF
whisky and appropriated it. 1t is thought
the robbers had horses in waiting In the

cape. A posse is in pursuit with blood.

PLANS FOR A GREAT SILVER PALACE
Trans-Mississippi Exposition Build
ing Will Be Gorgeous.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-Edward Rosewater
chief of the bureau of publicity and pro-
motion of the trans Mississippi exposition
to be held in Omaha from June to No
vember 1898, is acting for the exposition
directors, and has approved and accept
ed the plans for a silver palace. This
palace Is to be one of the imposing fea-
lures of the exposition, and the central
figure in portion of the grounds to be
called Ell Dorado. The building is TO be
400 feet square, surmounted with man.
moth ornamental towers, and the entire
structure will be covered with rolled sill
yer. The silver to be used in Its external
covering will be contributed by the min
ers of the great west. Over 100000 feet
of external surface will be covered by
the precious metal.
The silver palace will be used entirely
for the display of mineral products and
products of the west. The amount OF
pure silver to be used in covering the
walls and dome of the mammoth building
has not yet been definitely estimated. II
will largely depend on the thinness OF
the sheets of pure metal that can be
used for this purpose.

GEORGE DIXON WINNER
FEATHER WEIGHT BATTLE be-
FORE NEW YORK SPORTS.
Double Blows Of the Sbifty COlOred
Lad Puzzled the Australian
in Every Round.

New York, Jan. %. - George Dixon'
champion featherweight, defeated Aus
tralian" Billy Murphy Of Cincinnati IN siA
rounds tonight at the Broadway Athletic
Club. Murphy was trained rather fine,
and when he stripped tonight the general
opinion was that he would never be able
to go the stipulated 20 rounds. Dixon, on
the contrary never looked better, and he
was made a pronounced favorite. his
friends backing him literally at to /.
During the first half of the fight Murphy
held his own. Whenever Dixon would
lead with the left, Murphy invariably
swung his right on the back OF the head
and also sent home some good body
blows, but at all times he judged distance
very poorly. Dixon's double blow phz-
zled Murphy, and the colored boy landed
a dozen times during the contest. From
the fourth round to the end of the fight
Murphy grew visibly weaker, but Dixon
showed no effects from Murphy's blows
and at the opening Of the sixth round was
by far the fresher man.
The blow which knocked Murphy oul
was a peculiar one. 1t was left swing
combined with kind Of squirt, and the
butt of Dixon's left caught Murphy in the
pit of the stomach. 1t doubled him III
and he fell on his hands and knees to the
floor, where he CROPPED about hopelessly
until he was counted out.

were left in the hospital.
When near Acapulco, on January 2, a
quarrel which was breeding between the
chief engineer, Niobe Neccan, and Second
officer Dramand. ended in what is
thought will be murder. The engineer
deliberately shot the second officer. There
was no duel fought, and the mate was
not armed, as was first reported. ORA
mand fell to the deck badly wounded, and
the Madeline was quickly headed away
for Acapulco to secure medical assistance
for the man. Neccan was clapped into
irons, and when port was reached was
turned over to the officers of a Mexican
man-of-war that was in the harbor. The
engineer was said to be jealous of Ora
mands attentions to his wife, and shot
the mate to avenge his honor.
Neccan will be tried for murder by the
Mexican authorities If Dramand dies, as
is probable.
