Another of those fortunate accidents

the lives of train .oad of passengers
were endangered, but nobody was
hurt, the only damage being loco
motive killed and stock car badly
wrecked. Friday afternoon pas
senger train No. l was coming in on
time, with Engineer Barrett, one OF
the most reliable engineers on the
road, at the throttle. The train was
moving at speed of about II miles an
hour, and although Mr.. Barrett could
see for some distance ahead that the
switch above the scales, about half a
mile east of the depot. was open, he
could not stop the train before he
dashed into the rear end of freight
that was being made up On the siding,
an empty stock car was on the rear
end of the freight, and into this Mr..
Barret's engine plunged, the pilot
reaching the middle of the car before
the train came to a standstill. The
stock car was broken into splinters,
and the engine was so badly damaged
that it had to be taken to the shops at
Albina for repairs. The accident was
caused by the carelessness OF switch.

track would be run into a siding.
The passengers who were on the
train and the railroad company may
congratulate themselves that the acci-
dent was no worse, for had not the
engineer seen the open switch and re-
versed the engine when he did, there
would have been fearful wreck.

Fi1terins Milk Before U.,ns.

Central depots where milk is received
and filtered before being taken to the
consumer are now a feature of several
European cities. Large cylindrical yes
sells are divided horizontally near their
center by compartments containing
sand of three successive degrees of fine
ness, the coarsest being the lowest, and
as the milk arriving from the country is
poured through pipe into the bottom
OF these vessels it rises through the
sand filter and is run off by an overflow
pipe into cool cistern, from which it
is drawn directly into locked cans for
distribution. The sand is renewed each
time the filter is used.

A FATAL RAILROAD WRECK.
Engine and Two Cars Go of the Track
Near Rooster Rock.

Engine and Two Cars Go OF the Track
Near Rooster Rock.
A serious wreck occurred on the ..
r. & N. line near Rooster Rock, about
six miles this side of Trou' dale Sunday
night, in which Engineer Robert Hum
tar aud Fireman George Miller were
killed. They were pulling train No. 2,
the east bound passenger. when the
engine ran into a slide and left the
track, carrying with it the baggage
and mail cars, but fortunately the
coupling broke ahead of the first coach
leaving all of the passenger cars on
the track. therefore the only injury to
the passengers was from the jar caused
by the sudden stopping of the train.
When the engina struck the slide
and left the track it rolled some dis
tance down a steep bank to the edge
of the river. and both the engineer
and fireman were caught underneath
it. Mr.. Miller was killed instantly but
Mr.. Hunter lived some time after the
accident.
The scene of the accident is one OF
the mcst dangerous places on the road,
a steep. rocky mountain on one side,
the river close to the track on the
other. The recent rains had loosened
the soil on the mountain, which slid
down completely covering the track,
aud the night being so dark that the
engineer could not see beyond the
light thrown from the headlight on
the engine, he could not discover the
obstruction in time to avoid running
into it..
Both men killed are we'll known in
The Dalles, they having resided here
for a number of years, though at pre-
sent their families live in Portland.
Mr. Hunter leaves widow and two
children, Ethel and Robert, aged about
twelve and.nine years respectively, and
Mr.. Miller leaves wife.
Both were members of the A. o. U.
W., Mr.. Hunter holding his member
ship in Portland and Mr.. Miller belong
ing to Temple lodge of this city.

Saturday evening. Nov. 25, marked
the closing exercises of the fall term
in district No. 13, near Mr.. Benson's
place on fye-Mile. Miss Mona Rowe,
teacher. A large an6 attentive audi
ence was present, many coming from
town and distance, in spite of the bad
travelling. The stage was neatly dec
Grated and presented pleasing ap-
pearance. While not making any
particular mention of the speakers,
the efforts of the pupils iand others
was marked by spirit and ease of de.
livery, each doing the part allotted to
him we'll. All went to show the
careful training received from their in
structor. In fact too much praise can
not be given Miss Rowe, and the dis
trict was very fortunate in having
such an excellent teacher. The hearty
applause showed how the audience ap-
preciated the exercises.
After the close of the exercises,
good cause was helped-the means of
having school library-by auction
ing lunch baskets. Bids went high by
the good natured audience and there
was much amusement on opening the
baskets to see who .he fair partner
was to be in partaking of an excellent
repast. Twenty-Five dollars was real
lied from the sale. and with ten dol.
lars received from the district, good
start is made for library.

when the engine went over, and the
groans that were supposed to have
been uttered by Mr.. Hunter were from
the brakeman, Herzinger, who was
pinned under the wreck, and who was

could work at time in rescuing the
man and ditch had to be dug to get
him from under the engine.

the most stubbornIy contested that
has ever been tried in the state.
Counsel for the state rely solely on
circumstantial evidence, while it is
the defense will be able to

The report from the Treasury shows
that for the twelve months ending with
June 80, the. total receipts aggregated
$516,216, 474, being an increase of $11,-
700, 900 over those of the preceding fiscal
year. The expenditure for the year
amounted to $6O5, O92, 734 which was an
increase of over $161 10000 as compar-
ed with those of the preceding fiscal
year. The excess of disbursement over
receipts was thus $SS,S75,9S9. This ac-
cording to Bradstreets was over SILL
100000 less than the Treasury officials
had calculated upon. This came about
through the amount of June showing
a much longer balance on the right side
of ledger than was anticipated. The
receipts for the month of June amount
ed to SAT, 1865 15 while the expenditures
amounted to $31, 1882, 1872 giving a sur
plus of receipts over disbursements of
over $15,O70,OOO In May the surplus
had only been $4,000 900, and that had
been the first time the right side of the
ledger looked up since the increased
expenditures on account of the war.

A bacteriologist has been studying the

He visited several hotels and telephone

Mounting his cotton on the wire, he

Each wad was placed in a small bottle

John Cassidy while on the mainland,
made careful enquiry into the question
of wireless biography. Though Mar
conis experiments have been success
full, the manufacture of instruments
which would be of a price that could be
used commercially, has not been COM
menced. Wireless biography is a sue
cess, but it is at present more the sue
cess of the scientific man, than the sue
cess of the practical man. Before the
new method can come into general use,
considerable practical work must be
done upon the instruments used 1t
would be impossible to have a scientist
of high attachments roosting on Kauiki
Head, near Hama, and another at Cape
Upolu at the north of Kohala. So
it is evident that we must wait for a
time. But when theoretic success has
been made, practical use will soon be
made, and we may look for wireless
communication across our channels in
the comparatively near future.
