"rrenohy" a Victim to Alcohol


All residents of the city, especially
those who have occasion to be around
the business portion of town, were ac-
cuetomed to seeing little short French
men about the streets at most any time
of day, and to hearing him called
"Frenchy". His real name was Joe
Martin and having no relatives here, he
at the foot of Washington street known
as the Miller brick, but spent much of
his time working about a number of
saloons. He was a hard drinker; in
fact was seldom known to be sober.
Last Sunday about O'Clock in the
evening he went into Franks saloon
and claiming that he was sick, went to a
bed room in the back of the saloon and
lay down, saying it was too cold in his
shack. Yesterday afternoon he came
out and told Charlie Frank he was very
sick, who gave him a small glass of wine.
He was also offered some hot coffee, but
refusing it, went back to bed.
At quarter to Frank went in the
room to get his bicycle and found him
dead in bed. The coroner was sent for,
butas he was i'll, Ned Gates, the re-
corder, had the dead man taken TO the
coronor's Office, and this morning held
an inquest over the body. Nothing is
known regarding the man or his rela-
tives, other than that he has been in the
city about five years. The result of the
inquest WAS as follows:
In the matter of the inquest over the
body of Joe Martin:
We the jury, summoned by Ned II.
Gates, recorder of Dalles City and ex-
ofhcio Justice of the Peace, to INQUIRE
into the cause of the death of the body
now before us, find the following facts,
based upon the evidence produced be-
fore US.
That the name of the deceased was
Joe Martin, aged about 48 years, and
that his residence was at Dalles City,
Oregon, and by occupation a laborer.
That he came to his death on the 3rd
| day of April, 1899, in Dalles City Ore,
and that the cause of said death was
heart failure due to chronic alcoholism
and la grippe.
Dated at Dslles City, Ore, this the 4th
day of April, 1899.

ANOTHER MURDER AT ANTELOPE
F. N. spIcer Shoots and KilIs w. ID.
Jones Yesterday afternoon.

Dalles residents were again startled
this morning, when upon reaching their
various places of business they were in
formed of another dreadful tragedy which
bad occurred at Antelope, seemingly the
seat of so many terrible murders. As in
the last case, the victim is a man well
known in this city, as is also the man
who did the shooting.
The news came through telephone
message received by A. NJ. Kelsay this
morning informing him that his father
in-;aw, w. D. Jones, had been shot and
killed by F. N. Splcer at Antelope last
evening.
The information regarding the affair
was very meager; and nothing very
Rumor, however, has it that the diff
Guilty arose from an old feud existing
between the two men. Yesterday Spicer
came up 10 Jones' place with load of
furniture for family who was to move
into the place, and Jones being there,
dispute arose, which became very warm,
and finally Jones was shot in the head

LONDON'S TUNNELS.

Striking Examples of Ignorance and Con-
 tempt for Hygienic Science.
 Could a more striking example be exhibited of the ignorance and con. tempt by hygienie science than is shown by the condition of the tunnels of the metropolitan railways of Lon don? Probably in no other city in the world would the characteristics of the atmosphere of the tunnel between. say. Praed street and Kings Cross, be tol- erated for one single week; a great part of the existence of this filthy attribute of the subterranean railway system of London may be charged to the imper- fections of the steam locomotive. says the Engineering Magazine. This in- dietmant could be heightened, but enough has been stated to prove that, although we cannot fail to gratefully recognize the influence that George Ste. phenson's invention has exerted in ana. eliorating the conditions of the life of the industrious masses, it still in it's high state of development possesses Fundamental defects of a very serious nature. The benefcent science of electricity graciously offers us a means for tractige and propulsion work, to move our trainloads of passengers or of merchandise, by which, in addition to the removal of all the serious disad- vantages to great degree fnseparably associated with steam locomotive trac- tion and already enumerated, we ob- tain qualifications that have made the sometimes irksome necessity of travel Ing a real pleasure. if not liberal edu. cation.
