AT SALEM.
The Senatorial Fight in Full BIast-COr-
bett Sure to Lose-Chances for
Dark Horse Good.

Two distinct Republican caucuses were
held at Salem last night for the purpose
of nominating senator At the Corbett
caucus thirty-six members were present
and Corbett received thirty-one votes /;
NJ. G. George 4 and Joseph Simon 1.
At the anti Corbett caucus twenty-five
members participat and fonr other Re-
pubicans were vooched for as being in
sympathy with them, though unable to
be present. They agreed to oppose
unltedly Mr.. Corbett, but the members
were left free as to whom they should
vote for aside from him.
A special today from Salem says the
fight is now on. In the senate this
morning Corbett had thirteen votes
George, 6; A. S. Bennett, 6; Hewitt, (;
AiE en-. 2; Williams, Cotton, 1.
In the house Corbett received %;
Ellis 1 ; Williams 4 /; Dunno 1; George 10 +;
Bennett IS; Aiken 8. The requisite
number of votes required for election be-
ing forty-six, Corbett now lacks ten of
the goal, which only strengthens his
chances of defeat. Under the present
showing it looks much as if the condi-
tions existing at the time of McBride's
election are to be repeated and that a
dark horse will again step in.
A later dispatch points to NJ. G. George
as the strongest candidate, and says no

"A Lucky Escape.

The Dalles had narrow escape last
night from fire, which, if it had gained
headway, would no doubt have entirely
obliterated the frame buildings opposite
The CHRONICLE Office. At IL O'Clock the
junk man, who is plying his vocation in
the city at present, was going down the
alley back of Kinersly's drug store, when
he noticed flames bursting up in the
back end of Du Bois' furniture store.
Hurrying into the drug store he informed
Mr.. Kinersly, who grabbed fire extin-
guieher, burst in the front door OF the
building and found the room full of
smoke and several pieces of furniture all
ablaze. It seems that Louis Pulskey IAN
employe in the store, and who was
sleeping there at the time, had placed
his bed too near the air-tight heater, ,and
that the mattress after smoking some
time had finally ignlted and caught the
furniture near it. The fire bell being
rung, the hose were Immediately on the
spot and the engine was ready for work,
but the flames had been extinguished by
smothering them with quilts and using a
few buckets of water. Strange to say
the occupant of the bed, who is slightly
deaf, was obIivious to his peril until his
feet were badly scorched and his hair
singed somewhat, when he awoke to
the situation. The dama!e to the stock
was slight, the bed, number of quilts
and some dishes being destroyed, as well
as injury done to few pieces of furni-
ture. Twas lucky escape.

KILLED AT CASCADE LOCKS.
Louis Peterson is Struck by a Train and
Killed While in an Intoxi-
Gated Condition.

Sunday at 7:30 o'clock as a freight
train was passing through Cascade Locks,
the engineer noticed a man sitting on
the platform in close proximity to the
track. The whistle was blown, and ex-
pecting that the man had taken warn
ing, the train passed on but, as the un-
fortunate man was in no condition to
heed anything, the cow-catcher struck
him on the head. whirling his body in
the air and depositing it some distance
away on the platform. When picked up
he was already dead, evidently not hav-
ing known what struck him.
It seems that the man, whose name
was Louis Peterson, was quite well
known at tie Locks and was considered
industrious and hard working. He had
been employed by man since August,
who Sunday morning paid him $11, with
which he purchased about So worth of
provisions, spending the remainder for
liquor, which accounts for the sad acci-
dent which caused his death. Becom-
ing intoxicated, he sat down on the plat.
form and was sound asleep, his body
bent toward the track and his head on
his breast, when the train approached.
He was not married man, and wac
living alone at the Locks, but claimed
to have sister in Portland.
The coroner's jury brought in the
| following verdict:
CASCADE LOCKS, Oct. 8, 1898.
We, the jury impaneled by w. H.
Butte, coroner of Wasco county, 10 in
quire into the cause of the death of
Louis Peterson on the End day of October,
1898, at the Cascade Locks in Wasco
County, state of Oregon, find as follows
That the deceased was native of Den
mark about forty-fve years of age, and
that death was caused by fracture of the
skull and we believe by being struck by
a passing train, causing death instantly.
And we further find from the evil
dence that the said Louis Peterson came
to his death by his own carlessness.
