Because OF the slide near Pyramid,
no train reached Astoria from Port
land yesterday morning. Another slide
had occurred al Bugby and the dis
tance between the two points was so
great Superintendent Mcclure found
Il impossible to arrange for trans
fer. Consequently the Portland bound
train did not get through, nor could
the Astoria bound train make connec-
tlons. The failure OF the train to arr
rive deprived Astoria Of its customary
noon mail. Last night the train reach
ed Astoria from Portland at 1880, and
II was announced that this mornings
train out OF Astoria would go straight
through without transfer. AS soon as
the Pyramid slide was reported a large
force OF men was sent to the scene
and the track cleared with all possi-
BILE haste.

ex-Chief OF Police Robertson, Of Port
land, against the Portland Club, an ac-
ton to recover twice the sum alleged
to have been lost at gambling, Peter
Grant made an astonishing statement
to the court Holding UP bunch Of
some so receipts. Mr.. Grant said: IF
/ can offer these in evidence before
the court. without the names being
given publicity shall prove to its
entire satisfaction that my club never
retains any money lost at gambling
when It is learned afterward that the
money was lost during a moment OF
excitement and that a mans family
would suffer as result" Those who
are acquainted with Mr. Grant know
the assertion was not an idle one, for
he has the reputation of giving more
money to charity than any other fam
lily we'll -to-do man in the Pacific north

The $4,000 damage suit of James
Flynn VS.. the Astorian & Columbia
River Railroad Company came to an
end yesterday, when the jury returned
verdict for the defendant corpora
tion. According to the statement Of
one of the jurors, the merits Of the
case were discussed after the jury re-
tired, three of the jurymen holding to
the opinion that Flynn should be
awarded an amount sufficient to cover
his hospital expenses The nine other
Jurors believed the railroad company
was not responsible In any manner for
the accident and declined to agree to
the arrangement. The jury was out
for about six hours, during which time
the three jurors held to their conten-
tion. At 3:15 a. M, however, they
came over to the majority, and re-
turned a verdict against the plaintiff.
There seemed to be general belief
among the jurymen that, If Flynn was
not intoxicated, as his attorneys en-
deavored to show, he alone was toI
blame for having been knocked of
the trestle by the train, for, according
to this view of the matter, the man
could have escaped Injury by stepping
off onto one of the beams on the side

attention and the result of the jury's
deliberations was eagerly awaited.

Some 10 or IL years ago well known
Irish resident Of this city was elected
to the council. Now 1t transpires the
alderman In question was firmly con-
yinced that he was a statesman. and
all that being statesman implies, and
he entertained full confidence in his
own ability to frame measures OF Leg
islation. Consequently, he ignored the
city attorney in the matter Of drawing
ordinances, although the alderman and
attorney were warm personal friends.
In his official capacity the alderman
came to the conclusion that dogs were
nuisances, and that II was his duty TO
take steps to ause them TO be re-
strained from running at large So he
repaired to the seclusion OF his private
Office and there undertook to frame an
ordinance covering the matter. This
Is the way he started: Ordinance No.
~: an ordinance to prevent dogs from
running at large. The city OF Astoria
does ordain as follows: Section !.
That 1t shall be unlawful for any dog
to go abroad in the city" There was
more to the ordinance and Of a sim
lar nature. and the alderman is said
to have been very much put out when
he learned that the law did not make
| II possible for the council to issue in
structlons to dogs. Thereafter he con-
suited the corporate counsel.

Charles INLAND was arraigned yes
terday morning in the circuit court,
pleaded guilty to the charge OF larceny
from a store and received a sentence
Of one year in the penitentiary, the
llightest penalty for the offense allowed
under the law. Judge Mcbride was
disposed to be lenient with the prisoner
because OF his former good behavior,
the fact that he had been industrious
and further that he had never before
been arrested. +. d. Winton, who had
been retained to defend INLAND, con-
tended that inasmuch as the prisoner
was an habitual frequenter OF the
Worlds Fair saloon, the place robbed,
and had spent much Of his earnings
over the bar, coupled with the allega-
tion that he was intoxicated at the
time the robbery was committed,
should privilege the defendant to be
booked on the charge Of simple lar
ceny. To this District Attorney Allen
expressed himself as being opposed,
advancing the opinion that the man
who would rob the TIN Of a saloon
would doubtless commit the offense
under any circumstances. In passing
sentence the court made it clear that
while there We're extenuating circum-
stances that permitted Of leniency in
this instance, he would show no mercy
to an habitual loafer, or second timer,
one year in the penitentiary is the
lowest penalty, and this the court i'm

SIGHTSEERS ARE INJURED
THE ROOF OF A FERRY BOAT AT
ST. LOUIS CoLLAPSES.
People Are Thrown to the Deck Below
and About 30 Are Seri-
ously Hurt.

st. Louis, Mo-, May 2.-The hurricane
roof of the ferry steamer Alonzo c.
Church collapsed early Sunday even
ing while the steamer was crowded with
sightseers viewing the United States
gunboat Nashville at anchor in the river
harbor here, and about 20 people were in
jured, a number of them being reported
in critical condition. -Tne names of the
following injured have been secured, but
this list is not complete, as several per-
sons were Immediately taken to their
homes before their names were learned:
J. B. Wood, leg broken and internally;
George Montigo, both ankles fractured;
Mabel Montigo (daughter), aged four
years, head hurt; Edward Mack, leg
crushed; Mollie Collins, East st. Louis,
internally.
The ferry steamer had been carrying
crowds all day from the foot of Valentine
street out into mid-stream past the
Nashville and back again. No stop was
made at the Nashville owing to the
heavy flood current running. AS the
ferry boat was rounding the Nashville
and starting back to dock the crowd on
the upper deck rushed to the steamers
side and out upon the hurricane roof,
The strain was too great and the roof
collapsed, precipitating large number
of people 20 feet to the deck below,
which was also crowded. Instantly
panic ensued. Women screamed, some
from injury and some from fright, and
several persons attempted to jump into
the river, thinking the boat was sinking.
Cooler heads prevented this, and efforts
were at once begun to succor the injured
A distress signal wa blown from the
boats whistle and tugs hurried along
side. but it was deemed best to proceed
to land and not attempt to place the in
iured on the tugs. Ambulances had been
hastily called, and soon after the Alonzo
c. Church had reached shore the injured
were being conveyed to the city hospital
and many neighboring homes.

Kimmswick, Mo-, May 2.-Eight per-
sons were killed and 16 seriously injured
in the wreck of a worlds fair special
on the st. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern railroad at Wickes Siding,
about one and half miles north of here,
Saturday morning. The cause of the
wreck was the misunderstanding OF or
ders by the engineer of No. IS, the train
which was wrecked The engineer was
killed instantly and the fireman later
died of his injuries. The dead are:
James Bailey, engineer; Edward Bis1-

The wreck occurred while the train
was going at an excessive rate of speed.
Friday night there was trouble with
a freight car on one of the fast trains,
and it was necessary to abandon it OF
the main line, near Wickes Siding.
Orders were issued for all north
bound and southbound trains to use the
switch at that point instead of the main
line. Five trains passed the siding dur
ing the interval between the break down
of the freight car and the arrival of No.
49,
1t is stated by Conductor Austin that
he read the order to the engineer and
handed a copy to him. The officials OF
the road cannot account for the fact
that the train approached the siding
at the high rate OF speed it must have
done to cause the damage it did.
