A RAILROAD DISASTER.

Thr 1Vt Passenger Train BmllyDemoralised..

Monday's .west bound passenger fromhere, met with an accident near Cates'mill that just escaped being a very dis-

astrous one. It was almost a miraclethat a large number of people were notkilled instead of being shook up asproved to be the case. The train wasin charge Conductor E. B. Cowman,with Mr. Curtis as engineer. The locomotive was one of the heavy eight-whe- el

sixty-to- n machines and it was its heavyweight on the short curves that causedthe accident. As train was n earingCates' mill the forward wheels of theengine the track on a.curve, causinga spreading of rails. The baggagecar followed and toppled over on top ofa short bridge and the tourist car fol-

lowed and likewise went over on its side.Next came the first-clas-s chair andplunged into it badly demoralizing thetourist car. The car contained alarge number of Italian emigrants andamong them mostly was the damagedone. Some seven were badly but notdangerously hurt, while quite a numberwere more or less wounded andcut by falling glass and being bumpedagainst chair backs, but as far as beardfrom no one killed.

Quite a number of railroad wereaboard and were badly shook up butseriously injured. In the tourist car alady and little girl were in the front endand when the crash came were coveredwith Urine srlass and other articles. Fora few moments looked as if they bothmust be killed, but when they were re-

moved from, the debris it was foundtheir injuries were not severe andboth walked back to the sleeper wherethey were cared for by the kind peopleon board. ; mere were many narrowescapes and ' it is extremely fortunatethat fire did not break and burn up

'more or leas of the train

The accident occurred about 2 p. m.yesterday. Dr. Doane of this city im-

mediately went to the sufferers. A re-

lief train from Portland. Dr. Beaevncharge, and assisted by Dr. Logan of thisplace who was in Portland at the time,came up at once arriving at the scene ofthe wreck about 5 o'clock; The injuredwere taken to the hospitals of Portlandwhere they wil have the best care.

The wreck was got out of the way andthe track cleared' about 12 o'clock lastnight and trains are moving all right to-

day.Cates' mill where the accident occurred

is about 45 miles west of The Dalles, andis between ;Wyeths Station and theCascades. f; : ' , , ;

That aiysterloua Grave.Mr. Frank Williams of Eight Mile

creek informs iis "the mysterious gravementioned a few days ago, was examinedby some of the people in the neighbor-hood and found that whatever it wasdug for was five feet long, and fourfeet deep by two feet in width, and, hadall the appearance of ' being filled up.within a few days.

A young roan by the name of Bakerclaims to have dug the grave, but atwhose instigation he will not say. It isthought however that he did not do it,as he has a reputation of loving his easetoo well to do the amount of hard worknecessary, for the job. The grave was3x5 feet on top and run down to a depthof two feet, then a jog was made and twofeet more dug down. Messrs.. A. P.Ferguson and John Danrielle dug theearth out of the hole but found nothingin it. They say that it was as well, duga grave as they ever saw. Une thingseems certain, the grave was not dug forfnn as there was too much work about itfor that. "Evidently eomethinghad beenburied there, but whoever had done so

had the body, or whatever it was, secretly removed before it was discovered.Mr. R. V. Drake is our authority for thestatement in the latter part of this article. .

Kkal Estate The only change notic- -

able in the realestate' market since last i

report is a greater degree of confidence ;

manifested by everyone. The number j

of transfers reported during the week is j

not large, but an increasing demand isnoted and holders show no desire to sellat present prices. The passage of the Cas-

cade portage railroad bill has doubtlesshad some effect and that with the flatter-ing prospects of increased activity in alllines of business which is expected tobegin with the coming wool season hascalled forth the opinion of many thatDalles property has touched low watermark.

There hart been some grain and wooltransactions during the week and showan advance in price as stated, Messrs.McFarland & French sold 26,000 poundsof Eastern Oregon wool at an advance onquotation of 2 cents, realizing 18 centsper pound.

It is impossible to get any statementfrom any of the men as their weakenedcondition prevents it.

Will Indulge In No More Bitterness, butWill Trj Reasoning Arguments.

London, Feb. 22. In his speech todayat Roscommon Parnell avoided all allusion tn thft att&pka ' nnnn him anrl hAseldomhowed signs of exoitement. Headdressed to his auditors calm and reasoning argument on the subject of Irishhome rule, and urged that it would beabsolute folly-- , to accept anything lessthan the terms which he had'demanded.He argued that Ireland was entitled to aparliament, armed with the fullestpower to deal with Irish affairs, and subject only to the sovereign veto ; that theland and police should be fully com-mitted to Irish care, not after an intervalof five years, but immediately uponorganization of the home rule parliament.He advised his hearers to think forthemselves, as Irishmen, and not as de-pendent on the opinions and guidance of

j any English faction or party. Mr. Par--

j nell was cordially received by a numer-- 1

ous assemblage, and some rude attemptto insult him met with no encourage--!ment. It is believed that Parnell m--tends to pursue - the calmly aggressivecourse which he illustrated in his speechtoday, and that he will disappoint those

j who expect to see him indulge in the bit-- Iterneps which he showed at Kilkenny.

SIVEKIOR TO LYMPH.A New Consumption Cure Discovered

by a Berlin Physician.Paris. Feb. 23. Koch's prestige is be

low par here. His lymph is consideredrank poison, and thev won't try it onhuman beings. Early this week twomonkeys in the Jardin d'Acclimationwere inoculated, and both have died.Meanwhile Professor Liebricb, directorof the Royal pharmacological institutein Berlin-- , discovers an entirely differentremedy for consumption. Conversingwith a correspondent, he said :

"It is not an improvement on Koch'slymph. It is an entirely different rem-edy. The only similarity between themis that my remedy is also injected

Is it the product of bacilli or a chem-ical preparation?"

"That I cannot answer now. I willgive full information in a few days. Ishall publish a full description of myprocess so that every physician can prepare his own matter. I shall not keepthe secret nor let any one man have amonopoly of the manufacture."

"In what does your remedy differ fromtuberculine ; does it bring about any dif-ferent reaction?"

'It brings on no reaction, nor does itcause fever. It is harmless, but willcure tuberculosis of the larynx. Of thatexperiments have convinced me. I haveinjected patients afflicted with tuberculosis of the larynx and have positivelycured them. Some of them suffered tosuch an extent that they had becomeaphonic. Under treatment they recovered their voice and are now completelycured. Professor Frankel. at the Royalclinic for diseases of the larynx, and Dr.neyman, at a private clinic, met similarsuccess."

'How about advanced cases of phthisis?"

"I think I will be able to cure theseaffections also, but time has been tooshort for any defininte observation."
