Explosion on J. N. Teal Results
In Loss Of Two Lives.
ANOTHER BOAT TO PUT ON run
Connected With Portage Road at
Cello to Handle Traffic of
Upper Columbia.

Portland, Oct. 24.-In fire that fol-
lowed an explosion on the Open River
Transportation company's steamer j.
N. Teal, at the foot of Oak street, at
4:45 O'Clock yesterday morning Mrs.
Amanda E. Jackson and James Collins
were incinerated, Jack Hasley was seri-
ously burned and the vessels super
structure was totally destroyed.
Whether the accident was caused by
the explosion of an oil burner or of one
of the boilers is in doubt. An official
investigation will be started by the
United States inspectors to determine
the facts.
The steamer was practically new,
having been launched the latter part Of
May. On June 20 she was placed in
commission between Portland and the
state portage road at Cello, connecting
with the steamer Relief, which was
operating on the upper stretches of the
Columbia. During the 4 y months
the craft had been in service she never
missed trip. She completed three
round trips week. 1t is declared that

more steadily than she, and this is the
first accident the boat ever experienced.
Though not regarded as an unusually
speedy boat, she succeeded in maintain
ing an average speed of about 15 miles
an hour.
Aside from carrying general freight
both up and down, the steamer handled
a large number Of passengers. Primar-
lily che was built for the purpose of
getting an independent steamer line
established and to add to it as occasion
demanded, with the view of having
water transportation facilities as far
inland as Lewiston, Idaho. The slogan
of the company was an "open river"
hence the name chosen for the corpora
tion.
OF late the major portion of her car
goes on the down trips have been made
up of wheat. The Relief, running from
Cello, or the upper terminus Of the
portage road, brought grain on the
down trips almost altogether and man.
aged to keep enough of the cereal at the
portage to keep the Teal busy in con.
nection with the other line Of freight
she handled. Joseph N. Teal, secre.
tary of the company, states that the
Relief will be kept in service.
Before too great quantity of freight
accumulates at the portage he is conf
dent that another boat to handle the
traffic at this end of the line will bt
chartered.

SMALL QUITS IN TEARS.
Striking TeIegrapners Hiss Former
Leader from Platform.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Followed by jeers
and Kisses, S. j. Small, former presi-
dent of the Commercial Telegraphers
union, left Ulrich's hall in tears Sun
day afternoon. He did not get the
vindication which he sought at the
hands Of the rank and file of the local
union.
As Small left the hall he appeared
broken-hearted and declared he had
given up the fight for restoration to his
former position. His successor, W. W.
Beattie, of Washington, who was vice
president Of the organization, was for
mally recognized as the new head Of
the union. He announced that his pol.
icy would be an aggressive one.
When the meeting opened, President
Small, who had been waiting in an
snte-room for a chance to be heard, was
invited to she platform. Hardly had
he assembled the steps to the platform
when a number of strikers got up and
left the room, The others hooted and
Missed so that the words of the former
president were drowned. In a pathetic
way he appealed to the older members
of the union saying that he had child
rem and that they should not be dis
graced by the branding Of their fathel
as dishonest without one bit of evidenc,
and without hearing.
This appeal, however, had little ef
feet, although great many of th'
strikers after the meeting had adjourn
ed agreed that Small had been treated
shamefully and at least should hav,
been received with common decency.
1t was voted to assess broker ant
leased wire operators two days. pa,
each week in lieu Of calling them out ol
strike.

Will Pound to Bits.

Crescent City, CAL, Oct. 24.-The
stranded British steamer Queen Chris
tina lies in the same position she took
when che ran aground last week. The
sea continues running smooth and the
upper deck has been dry ever since the
accident. 1t is the opinion of local
seafaring men that the first heavy
storm will pound the vessel to pieces
There is no chance to salvage the
heavy articles aboard from seaward, as
it is too late in the season and because
there are too many sunken rocks around
the steamer.

JURY is COMPLETE.
Second Trial of Ford for Bribing
Frisco Supervisors On.


San francisco, Oct. 23.-The jury to
try ex-Attorney General TREY L. Ford,
chief counsel of the United railroads,
accused OF bribing Supervisor Jennings
j. Phillips in the sum Of 1000 to vote
FOR the trolley franchise was completed
shortly before the noon hour yesterday
The prosecution exhausted all five of
its peremptory challenges in the selec-
tion OF the jury. The defense used only
five of its ten.
At 2:10 p. m. Mr.. Heney began his
opening address. After stating that
the indictment charged Patrick Cal
houn, TREY L. Ford, Thornwell Mul-
lally and William NJ. Abbott jointly
with the bribing of Supervisor Jennings
j. Phillips in the sum of 81 900 to vote
in favor Of the United Railroads trolley
franchise, Mr.. Heney sketched in out.
line the facts he expects to prove in
asking for a conviction Of Ford. He
followed closely the lines Of the open
ing statement made by him to the
jury in the first trial of Ford, in which
the jury disagreed.
The only marked difference lay in
the fact that throughout his statement
yesterday Mr.. Heney intimated that he
would prove these allegation, without
the testimony of Ruef. The genera
belief is that Ruef is holding out for 6
contract with complete immunity
Notwithstanding his submission o.
himself to the bribery graft prosecu
tion, Mr.. Heney and his associates have
repeatedly declared that it is their in
tention to send Ruef to Jail when they
are through with him.
The surprise of the day was the seem
ing recalcitrancy OF Jennings ]. Phil
lips, the second witness called. HI
declared himself unable to remembel
whether Supervisor James j. Gala
CHER, allegedly acting in behalf Of thu
United Railroads and by direction 0
Ruef, had paid him the first half of th'
81, 900 bribe before or not until afte
the passage Of the franchise; and Mr.
Heney had great difficulty in getting
him to admit that "to the best of hi
recollection" the offer of money wa
made in the period that elapsed be
tween its introduction and its passage
