VICTIM OF THE
"BLACK BALL"
INQUEST ON RIVER SUICIDE
He Is Identified as an Engineer on the
Southern-CouId Get No Work
Because Of . Boycott.

An Inquest was held yesterday after
noon on the body OF the man found
floating in the river near the round
house Of the Astoria railroad on Wed
nesday morning.
]. SIMPSON, a witness, established
the identity Of the dead man as Il.
W. Loyelace, formerly locomotive en-
gineer on the Southern Pacific railway.
The witness had known the deceased
for many years and testified, in sub
stance. as follows: Lovelace came TO
Portland with his wife, after losing his
position on the Southern Pacific, his
last employment being as locomotive
engineer on the Sacramento division
under Master Mechanic J. w. Wright.
Arriving in Portland Lovelace found
work on all the railroads closed TO
him. he believing and It being gener-
ally understood. that he had been black
balled by the Southern Pacific on ac-
count OF his drinking habits.
Loyelace sought work In Portland as
an engineer on river boats but was
unsuccessful and frequently. in his des-
pondent moods In that city declared
everybody would be better of II he
were dead" adding my wife will be
cared for no matter what happens 70
me-"
Finally. according TO Mr. SIMPSON,
LOvelace, accompanied by his wife,
left Portland and carue to Astoria,
where the witness met him. Failing
TO hnd work here Lovelace pawned a
valuable watch and with the money
thus obtained sent his wife back to Sac
ramento, where she had well-to-d do rela-
tives who would take care Of her.
SIMPSON paid room rent for Love-
lace after his wife's. departure and
loaned him money but the deceased
seemed to be unable to rally from the
dependency caused by having 10 send
his wife home and began drinking
hard. Some three weeks ago SIMPSON
vas called out OF town on business.
He left Lovelace here but could find
no trace Of him upon him return. He
supposed, however, that Lovelace had
secured work on some outgoing steam
er and thought no more about him
until he read OF the finding Of the body,
The verdict OF the coroner jury was
that OF suicide without alleging cause
for the act. Coroner Pohl will bury
the remains today at the county's ex-
pensc, 1t being impossible to longer
keep the body without Theoretically
sealing it in a casket. The wife OF The
deceased will be notified by letter OF
her husbands death. From what Love
lace said to acquaintances in Portland
and here, his wife. comes from good
family, abundantly able to care for her
SO far as known the deceased left nc
messages for anyone.
Lovelace worked for the Southern
Pacific company for almost a score OF
years and until drink oyercame him
was a trusted employee. In Portland
he practically asserted that he had been
black balled" by the California "octo-
pus," and that It was useless for him
to seek work on any railroad. no mat
ter how much he reformed. While in
Astoria Lovelace soomed at the Oriel
house and he was last seen there on
February 23rd. 1t is presumed he COM
mltted suicide the night OF that day.

AS nearly as We can learn from the
latest heliograms Commandant Curtis
has reconnoltered in force and occupied
the Clatsop county kopje as a preiim-
mary to a general movement, horse,

which he will soon lead In person. In
the meantime Commandant Fulton
is pursuing his customary policy,
throwing up intrenchments, lying In
vast stores of ammunition and encour-
aging his troops to daily devotions.
The signs of a fearful and sanguinary
conflict between the erstwhile Damon

The fact that there was one well de-
veloped and unmistakable case OF hu-
bonlo plague in San Francisco some
weeks ago has caused the Dominion
government Of Canada to establish a
daylight quarantine at Williams Head,
of Victoria b. c., for all San Francisco
steamers and sailing vessels, This is
locking the stable after the horse has
been stolen. The fact of the appearance
OF the plague in Chinatown in San
Francisco was published at the time
and proper inquiries were made from
time to time by every coast port as
to the status of the disease. The San
Francisco officials stamped out the
plague with the one case weeks ago,
and since then steamers and sailing
vessels from that port have landed
wherever they wished with only ordi-
nary inspection. II is a certainty that
there is no plague on the Pacific coast
at present and the useless detention
Of ships from coast ports in quaran-
tine is both aggravatlng and unneces-
sary.

Tribute From Her College.

Word has reached us that Lucille
Hamlet has passed away. Our hearts
are iilled with a sense Of personal loss
and tenderest sympathy for the rela-
tives and friends at home, who are left
to long for the visible presence Of this
rarely beautiful girl.
We feel impelled, at this time, to try
to express Though words are mad
equate) something of the esteem and
love in which she was held by the
faculty and students of the Emerson
College of Oratory.
She came to us bearing the general
characteristics of the Southern Young
women which. give them peculiar
charm among their Northern sisters.
Added to this grace we soon recognized
traits of character which were indica-
tive Of extraordinary potential power.
by her very nature she drew from
the teachers their most loving service
for her development. Her growth
which was very marked was source
OF personal delight and pride to each
one Of us, for we recognized ii to be an
unfolding Of spiritual powers as we'll as
intellectual requirement.
She was ever earnest, responsive To
the highest thought, and with her
sunny smile and cheering word, won
all hearts and held them.
And shall we not look beyond this
we call death and realize
that her beautiful soul is now i'm Gods
service, as it was when we could see
her here? Shall we not believe that
she no longer needed the house (body)
which we all loved, because it was an
Of the soul, and that God
II His infinite wisdom and mercy has
reed her from that which had become
hindrance to her soul progress ?
The human in us weeps for her,
Divine Love cries "weep not
She liveth still, and ever will,
Her soul lie is sublime

THE ISSTES.

The Louisville Courier Journal EN-
phasizes the fact that the "actual line
OF battle this campaign presents the
same array of forces which from the
days Of Jefferson to this good hour has
divided the country.
"The unorganized masses of the peo.
pie, seeking the greatest good to the
greatest number, are opposed by the
regular troops of the governing classes,
admirably organized and thoroughly
equipped.
1.-The leaders of the people who take
upon themselves to direct the battle
assume terrible responsibility. Upon
thelr wisdom, or folly, their success or
failure, hang the hopes and fears of
millions of noble men and women. who
invest their all upon the hazard of the
die; simple, faithful, toiling men and
women, who earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow and ask only Of
government an equal chance in the
cruel strife of life and labor. There in
'front.' OF them stand the armored le-
gionarles of prerogative and power;
Stalled oxen Of the steel-clad Trusts:
sleek race horses out of the Augean
stables Of political corruption, each
mounted by trained jocky fresh from
the school of Platt and Quay and Han |
ma; an on'tnit0' gatherum of gamblers |
with limitless treasury of Doodle to |
Draw upon; and, waving over all, the
mllk-white flag with which the pirate
mas time out of mind lured the limbs
of commerce"
Is The picture overdrawn? We saw
not and what are you going to do
about it?

COL. COWARDIN DEAD.

Since the last issue of the HERALD
Col. &. OBJ. Cowardin, President of the
Dispatch Co., died at his home in the
city of Richmond after brief illness OF
typhoid fever. There are so many
gloomy people in the world that when
cheerful companion falls from the
ranks the loss is a distinct one. Col.
Cowardin made the world the brighter
for having lived in it and now that
he has gone there is less of sunshine in
the sphere where he loved and labOred,
Virginia journalism will miss him.
Virginia social and religious circles,
while a Virginia home will miss and
mourne him as stranger dare not UNI
dertake to tell. Father Cowardin, the
only surviving brother of the deceased,
conducted the funeral services, and
said in closing:
at was the desire of my brother to
have the funeral sermon omitted May
God grant us the divine grace to see
His hand in all things and to give us
strength this day to say THY will be
dOne."
To which let his host of friends say
Amen.

TIE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The National Democratic Convention
met in Kansas City at "high noon" o
the 4th inst.
Governor Thomas, of Colorado, pre-
sided over the temporary organization
and Congressman Richardson, of Ten
nessee, over the permanent. But one
plank Of the platform elected heated
discussion, and that the silver. BY
the narrow margin of 26 to "A, in the
committee on resolutions, the 16 to
ratio was retained. Comment has been
made Just here that little Hawaii, by
her vote, turned the scale in favor of
free silver. 1t Is gratifying to some of
us at least, to know that somewhere in
this vast universe, just now, a little
body had some influence. None but
the magnates had voice in Hanna's
convention, and one magnate "mOst

tarism, anti-tariff for trusts, anti-in-

labor and capital, pro peoples money
rather than selfish bank money. char
acterize the platform, and make it big
enough and broad for all lovers of q
Republic to stand on. The financial
plank is not the principal one, and as
no change in the financial policy of
the government can be effected in the
next four years, Democrats who differ
as to that, can with great propriety |
come together and fight together for
larger results.
Senator Daniel, an avowed silver
advocate, favored compromise in the
interest of peace.
Of course, VIM. Jennings Bryan was
named for first place with enthusiasm
and without opposition. His running
mate, Hon. Adlai Ewing Stevenson,
OF Illinois, ran as such with Mr.. Cleve-
land and was successful. Hill, of New
York, was great favorite with the
convention, and could have had the
second place for the asking. He will
support MIR. Bryan earnestly, and we
trust, effectively in New York.
The weather, during the session of
the convention, was excessively warm,
and the ardor of the delegates hot.

'oom, and yelling for 20 minutes with I
