MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
A Deaf Mute Thrown of the Track. but
Not Seriously Injured.

Another instance of the folly.o deaf
mute attempting to walk railroad
track was given yesterday afternoon. As
No. 4, east-bound passenger, rounded a
curve about ten miles below town, the
engineer noticed man on the track,
and whistling supposed he would step
aside at once. He was astounded, how
ever, to see he made no move, and it was
impossible when the discovery was
made to stop the train, which was going
at the rate of thirty five miles an hour,
and the engine struck the man, throwing
him about eight feet up onto a bank.
The train men, supposing of course he
was dead, stopped as soon as possible
and going back found he did not appear
to be badly hurt, but what his injuries
really were they could not fully deter
mine as he was unable to hear them or
speak to them. They assisted him to
the train, and brought him to The DAlles
telegraphing ahead for physician to be
at the Umatilla House. Upon reaching
that place, he walked out of the car and
could not be found when the doctor
arrived. Nightwatchman Phirman,
however. ran across him shortly after
and took him to the city Jail, as he
seemed to have no friends and no one to
look after him.
DIR. Logan was called this morning and
found that his ankle was badly spraIned
and also torn wound on his left elbow.
Further than this he was not injured.
He informed reporter that his name
is Will Gillett, and that he lives at 81,
North First street, Portland. He had
come up from Portland Monday, to work
for a fisherman below the Locks but
not finding him. and being told that he
had gone up the river he started in
search of him. Had about made up his
mind to turn back, when the train over
took him. He says he did not even see
the train, and blames no one for the &C
cident but himself. Claims he has a
good home and that his people will
probably send money for him to return.
The poor fellow may thank his lucky
etars he escaped as easily as he did, as it
was positively miraculous that he was
not instantly killed. 1t is feared the re-
suits may yet be more serious than
present appearances would indicate.

THE BOYS TO RETURN.
So Says the Latest Report-Oregon's
Fourth OF July Celebrations.

A dispatch published IN another
column to the effect that the soldier
boys will return home in June or July,
will gladden. the hearts of thousands of
Oregon people, who, with the assurance
that their duty has been well done, now
are anxious for their return. Portland
is already planning Fourth of July
parade, which would cause enthusiasm
that would know no bounds, and fairly
cause the snow-capped peaks of Oregon
to below forth a welcome such as our
brave boys justly deserve. What a
parade that would be. But would not
each city and village who contributed
these heroes come in for their share, and
demand that their liberty car be filled
with these gods of liberty. as they
might well be termed?
When the return ofthe volunteers was
first talked of, the government an
nounced that the various regiments
would be brought home in the same
order IN which they went out. This
would make the Second Oregon and the
First California the first to come. Thirty
days is required to make the passage
from Manila to San Francisco. If the
fret transport sails May 9th, therefore
it should arrive early in June. That a
least part of the Second Oregon will bs
on this vessel there is no cause to doubt
The boys will probably be in Portland
by June 18th.

Robert Grant in scribner's Magazine.
Is there any body Of people IN the world
more contemplate, and anybody among
US more useless as an inspiring product of
Apprehension than the pleasure-seeking,
unpatriotic element Of the very rich who,
under the caption Of our best society, ar
rogate social distinction by reason of their
vulgar ostentation of wealth, their ex-
travagant methods of entertainment, and
their aimless, pleasure-loving lives? To
vie with each other in lavish outlay, to Wis
it Europe with frequency, to possess
steam yachts, to bribe custom house Off
GERS, to sneer at our institutions and, save
by an occasional check, 10 ignore all the
duties of citizenship, is an off handed cpl
tome of their existence. And in il all they
are merely copy cats--servile followers of
the aristocratlc creed, but without the
genuine prestige of the old-time nobili-
ties And in the same breath let me not
forget the women. Women indeed count
for much here, and yet 1t Is they even
more than the men who are responsible
for and encourage the mere pleasure-lov-
ing life among the leisure class.

fering a number OF amendments. which
were adopted One of the amendments is
that instead of the ordinance applying TO
globe valves. It shall apply TO IAN other

The first ordinance allowed eight and
ten months In which to complete two sec

street. BY an amendment the draft now
reads that the closets shall be removed in
all the other portions of the city which lie
south of the said northern line of Jones
street within six months from the passage

time the southern section would Otherwise
have had In which TO comply with the or
dinance, but Il was found there are not
many of the old style closets there owing
to the fact that modern houses with Inn
proved fixtures have been erected
The enforcement Of the ordinance will
prove a bonanza for plumbers. After the
expiration of sixty there will be lots
of work to do on the citys account, il Is
believed and until the time expires the
plumbers will be kept busy for those who
intend to comply promptly with the law.

Elizabeth, when it should have been The
.ese. The court at once nolle pressed the
Indictment.
The Jury had been sworn in and the
defense asked for a discharge of the
prisoner on the ground that Becker had
been placed in jeopardy and therefore he
could not be tried again. The court de-
MED the request, however, and bench
warrant was issued and Becker rearrested.
A new indictment will at once be drawn
up The discovery that the Indictment
was faulty created somewhat of a sensa-
non in the court room.
The result may be, however, that Becker
will escape punishment, as the case is
now in such shape that the prisoners
counsel are confident of a reversal by the
supreme Court, if a verdict, of guilty is
returned. The jury had been sworn in
and part of the evidence of the first wit
ness heard when the attorneys for the de-
tense moved that the defendant be dis
charged and the jury instructed to return
verdict of not guilty, as the evidence
produced related to the killing of one The

that the defendant had murdered Eliza

other indictment against Becker. The jul
