COLUMBIA WINS AGAIN.
This Time by an Accident to the Sham
rocks Rigging.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The series o.
international yacht races now on be-
tween the Columbia and Shamrock
seems destined to exhaust all the
possibilities il the line of disappoint.
ments, failures and accidents before
the respective merits of the two yachts
are really demonstrated. After seven
fukes, the patient sportsmen were
almost ready to give up in disgust on
Saturday last, but the successful race
of Monday gaye them renewed courage,
and this morning when a nice breeze
was found on deck and ready for busi-
ness, all were prepared for pretty
contest.
Imagine their Disappointment, then,
when after an inspiring start, in which
Colum bia again gained handsome ad-
Vantage, an accident occurred, and, as
per agreement. the American boat is
forced to take the second race of the
series through the default of her COM
petitor.
The Shamrock's topmast, with the
big club topsail, was carried away at
11;4, when the yachts were on the
port tack, about three miles from the
start, causing the Shamrock to fluff
into the wind and lose much time, and
also forfeit the race.

Express Company Cases.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-The United
States supreme court has practically
reached dicision to allow any interest
ed parties to file briefs in the express
company cases, involving the question
as to whether the sender or carrier shall
pay the revenue tax on packages, but
not to permit such parties to partici.
pate in the oral argument before the
court.
1t is believed that the decision will
prevent the postponement OF the argu-
ment beyond the Both inst, for which
date the test case Is set.

HIS HEAD CUT OFF.

Joe Andrews Run Over and Killed in the
OR.& N. Yards.
Some time between the hours of II &c
last night and $3.50 this morning, Joe
Andrews, an Indian, was killed in the
railroad yards. just above the Wasco
warehouse, by being run over either
by an engine or cars. The first that
was known of the accident was at $3.50
when a freight came into the yards
from Umatilla, and pulled in on track
No. 3, when Brakeman Mills noticed
a dark object between the tracks.
When the train was stopped he went
to see what it was, and discovered it
was the body of a man, badly bruised
and mangled, with the head cut off.
The head was found about three feet
from the body, and had cut reaching
across the left side of the forehead.
Nightwatchman Phirman was noti-
fed and took the body to Michell's
undertaking establishment. The body
proved to be that of Joe Andrews, an
Indian fisherman, whose home is about
three miles above The Dalles, and who
was quite we'll known here. He was
last seen about 1890 last night, when
he was in an intoxicated condition,
and it is supposed that he laid down |
beside the track with his neck across |
the rail and was run over by an en-
gine which passed up and down the
siding,
In the absence of Coroner Butts,
Recorder Gates summoned Paul Paul

being as follows:
In the matter of the inquest over
the body of Joe Andrews: We the
jury, summoned by Ned Fl. Gates, re-
corder of Dalles City, and ex-officio
Justice of the peace, to inquire into
the cause of the death of the body now
before US, from an inspection of the
body, and the testimony of the vii
oesses produced before US and after
careful consideration, find the follow =
ng facts;
That the name of the deceased was
Toe Andrews, that he came to his i

WAS A PLEASING COMEDY
"a Breezy Time Surprises With Good
Performance.

"a Breezy Time" Surprises With u Good
| Performance.
Farce comedy as interpreted in the
west is pretty largely synonomous
with low vaudeville and many theater-
goers shun it. Occasionally there is q
happy surprise and such was "AIBreezy
Time" produced at the Auditorium
last evening. The entire show can
not lay claim to being refined humor.
There is considerable horse play and
low comedy, but the piece generally
is devoid of vulgarity and abounds in
clean humor. The first act unfolds
tri1e of plot, but the performance is
composed principally of specialties, OF
which there is the largest number ever
seen here with show of the character.
1t takes almost three solid hours to
produce them all.
The femme portion of the cast are
nearly all soubrettes, but of the num-
Der Mazzette Bogue is easily the lead
er. She is only little mite, but she
is decidedly busy one. When not
singing or engaged in some other
specially she is dancing and aids in
keeping the action of the piece going
at lively rate all the time. The spe-
cial turns and singing numbers are too
numerous to mention amounting to
30 in all. The others who assist in them
with the most distinction are AL White,

The cakewalk is the neatest ever wit
messed here. The music is exceedingly
lively but of fairly good character.
It is carried through nicely by most

Treating Consumption.

A new remedy for tuberculosis, de-
VelQped in France, has been reported
to the state department by United
States commercial agent Atwell at
Roubaix. 1t is a treatment called to

of the daily injection into the bron-

prohibition point and would at this time

cause more harm than good.

marks concerning certain persons outside

been re-intrOQuced Tor the purpose of
