RAILROAD PRESIDENT IN A Coll
LsIoN.-Daniel Lamont, Vice Prcsi-
dent of the Northern Pacific Railway
Company, had close call on the Sc
attic and International road, near
Getchell, about so miles out from Sc
attic, Monday. His private car was
attached to a northbound train, and
was stopped on II high trestle by ac-
cident to an engine of n train in adj
vance of it. While waiting for re-
pairs, freight train, also northward
bound, came laundering along, and
crashed into the private car, whose
occupants had barely time after dis
covery of the impending disaster to es.
cape into the next car. The engineer
OF the freight soon rs he saw the OBJ
struction, reversed his lever, and thus,
to some extent, lessened the shock,
and probably saved lives and thorough
destruction of the train. 1t took sew
eral hours to clear up the wreckage.
Meanwhile another car had been or
dered from Tacoma for Mr.. Lamont,
and his party were enabled to pro-
coed on their journey as ii they. had
not been the victims of a very excit-
ing episode.

The latest of these disasters is re-
norted to the Alaska Commercial Co.,
at San Francisco, i'll a letter dated
UnalaSka, July 2Sth, which says :
Information received here is to the
effect that an entire party of twelve
prospectorS. calling themselves the
Columbia Exploring Company, to-
gether with Rev. X. Weber, Moravian
missionary, his wife and two native
pilots, bound for the Kuskokwim river,
have been lost. On July q, the
natives say, the small steamer, with
two barges in tow, left Good News
bay to proceed up the river. Soon
after their departure terrific storm
arose. A few days later the natives
reported stranded barge ashore on
the north side of the river. 1t was
laden with supplies, all of which
were appropriated by the finders.
Nothing has been heard of the sixteen
persons who started up the river, and
it is thought they have persisted. The
names of the prospectors have net
Leen asccrtained."

A Swindle That Takes the Falm.

1t j. indeed strange that people can
he 50 easily humbuggcd by travelling
fakirs. \ stranger arrives in town
and announces that Ivy simply looking
into the palm of your hand he can
fprctcll vour future life whether YOU
are to be rich or poor, successful in
business or otherwise; whether You
i will hc happy or miserable, the remain
der OF your days; whether You will
marry or live on in " single blessed
ness and everything else you desire
to know. No matter how "hard''
times are, there are always gudgeOns
t. bite when this bait is >killfnllv cast,
and the pr, diction> are as crcdulously
received as ii read from the stars. 1t
never seems to occur to the dupe that
the wrinkles of the palm are as much
the result of chance as the crinklcs in
sheet OF paper or cloth that may be
grasped with the same clutch and
pressure. a little reflection will show
that the only record that may be read
in the palm OF the hand is the use
that has been made of it. Ii it has
been familiar with the aXe-helve, or
the spade, the index is infallibly regis
tered Absence of the marks of toll is
Il sure indication Of mcager use Of
physical energy, whatever may have
been the display of mental power, and
as Il coordinate use OF human capable
tiles are essential in moulding charac-
ter and shaping destiny, the futility of
prejudging by such signs is apparent.
The past may, and doubtless does,
leave its marks in many ways on the
human form, which may be read with
reasonable accuracy, but that destiny
is written in the accidental, or Incl
dental, marks on the hand, or corns on
the foot, is as absurd rs that constella-
tions OF the heavens find time to leave
their imprint for veal or woe upon
the brief span of life accorded to poor
mortality of this little speck in the
Universe.

THE Missouri Democrats, in a State
Convention, held at Springfield,
Wednesday, agreed upon platform
which endorses the party creed as set
forth at Chicago; opposes acquisition
of the Philippines or other territory in
the Eastern hemisphere; approves the
construction of the Nicaraguan canal,
which should be controlled by the
United States; declares that our navy
should be kept equal to any cmer-
gency; and demands that Porto Rico
and all Spanish territory in the West
Indies, except Cuba, shall be taken
and held by the United States, Cuba
to be allowed to establish its own gov
eminent, and to be annexed only at
the desire of the people of the island.

Lynch-Law in Arkansas.

\ horrible tragedy took place at
Clarendon, Ark, at an early hour
Wednesday morning, in which five
people, three men and two women,
were hung for the murder of John T.
Orr, a prominent young hardware
dealer of that city. 1t seems that on
Friday night, he was shot, through a
window of his residence. At the Cor
oner's inquest it was ascertained that
the wife of the murdered man had
been the instigator of the crime, aided
by Rachael Morris, a Jewess, and five
negroes. The former had disappeared
but the negroes were arrested with
Mrs. Orr and confined in the county
Jail. About midnight of the 9th a
mob OF 200 persons assembled and took
the negroes from their cells and hung
them to the beams of the tramway of
a mill. The persons hanged were:
Will Sanders, who fired the shot that
killed Orr; Rilla Weaver, the mother
of Sanders and cook in the Orr house
hold; Dennis Record, the Hoodoo
Conjurer," who tried to poison Orr
with boiled snake heads, and Manse
Castle, who volunteered to do the lob
and transferred it to Sanders. Mrs.
Rachel Morris, accused of being an ac-
cessory before the fact, and Susie
Jacobs, news-woman, an accessory
after the fact, made their escape.
Mrs. Orr, wife of the murdered man,
was in the corridor of the Jail when
the mob entered, but she had taken
poison and was dying at the time.
The dispatch says that the negroes
seem to indorse the lynching and
many of them are open in their ex-
pressions of satisfaction over the death
OF Dennis Richard, whose arts of hoo
doc and conjuring made him an object
OF dread and fear.
The inquiry of the Coroner's jury
developed the fact that the wife had
agreed to pay 5000 for the murder of
her husband, and that she and Rachel
Morris had conspired to collect the in
surance money on Orr's life and then
go to New York, where they were to
meet two men and form a dramatic
company.

ALL records for hot weather since
the establishment of the weather bu-
reau, twenty-seven years ago, were
broken at Walla Walla, Wednesday,
when the temperature reached liz in
the shade. The nearest approach to
this heretofore was los, in 1891 and
1891. The weather observer also re-
ports that this is the longest period of
warm weather ever recorded there, the
maximum temperature during the
last fifteen days ranging from 81 to
J12.

The BALANCE SHEET.-When the
Klondike rush set in about year ago,
old California argonauts predicted
that during the first twelve months
following, more money would be
taken into Alaska than would be
brought from that Territory. And
now an expert figures it out about
this way. Allowing the low estimate
of $500 in cash and outfits to each OF
the 100000 men who have gone
thither, we have grand total OF $780,
100000 on the debit side and consider
ably less than that amount on the
credit side.

STARVATION AT NEwFoUNDLAND.-
The schooner Cambridge, which ar
rived at HALIFAX on the 9Th inst, re-
ports terrible suffering on the New.
foundland and Labrador Coasts. The
schooner was on prospecting expedi-
ton, and the passengers remained in
Lewis inlet night and day to give re-
lief to persons dying of starvation.
Large quantities of provisions were
distributed from the vessel. The same
conditions of affairs exists all along
the coast. There are 1000 persons
similarly situated, and immediate re-
lief is necessary. The failure of the
fisheries will further tend to increase
the suffering.

A SPOKANE dispatch of Wednesday
reports the hottest weather ever en-

Another Treasure Ship In.

The steamship Rosale arrived at Sc
attic Monday night, bringing the first
detachment of party of so Klondik-
ers, who made their way up the Yu-
kon to Lake Bennett and over the
passes. Some of the party left Daw-
son as late as July 9th and bring
news to that date. They report the
arrival of the river steamers Monarch
and Sovereign from st. Mich The
former boat had been enabled to get
off the bar where she had grounded, by
a rise in the water. Several head of
beeves had arrived and were sold at
$1.S5 per pound. A young man named
Shannon, nephew of Willis Thorpe,
Of Seattle, was drowned in Thirty
mile creek, while driving cattle to
Dawson. The river steamer Joseph
w. Clossett had been wrecked while
shooting White Horse Rapids, and
the little steamer City of Astoria had
blown ashore ut Indian Point, nine
miles above Dyea, on the Cd inst, and
proven a total loss. No lives were lost
in either disaster. The Rosalic brought
down treasure estimated at q cool
million OF dollars.

IT is amusing to witness the con-
sternation which Representative Lewis
is creating in the Republican camp.
He must be fought, and downed, if
possible, but how the feat is to be ac-
complished is what worries. 1t is
worse than the controversy of the
rats to decide who was to bell the cat,
for it is tacitly acknowledged that
this enterprise is of too extended
scope for any one-or score of their
number, for that matter-to seriously
attempt. So the order has gone forth
and all the "leetle wee dogs" are now
vigorously barking at his heels. Little
Oly's yelp is occasionally heard, but
it is more the note of cheer for others
that have hold OF Mr.. Lewis coat.tail
than of aggressive assault. Oly's in
clination for battle is strong enough,
but his legs are weak.

Olympia is the Capital,
Although she's small in size;
But now you know she'll have boom,
She captured richest prize.
We fear our friend has so inextrica-

be difficult to discover the delicate
analogy which is so plain when viewed
from the heights of Helicon. II Olym-
pia. the town, has captured richest

failed to make the discovery, although
everybody admits the cruiser captured
all that lay in sight. 1t may be that
our community has gained in its later

but Time has not yet made them
known and the people are oblivious of
the possibility that they may be finally
entertaining angels unawares. Time
will tell and we may then possibly
rejoice.
