After the lecture Prof. Meakln gave a number of reading from famous poems. The order win make an earnest endeavor to secure Mr. Meakln for another evening; In this city, when It Is hoped he will be greet ed by , a muoh larger audience. He haa spoken before large ' audiences tn nearlv all the cities of the Northwest and was In Portland for ten days, where he delivered the lecture before an au dience of fourteen hundred. Those who attended the lecture laat night were de lighted with the truthfulness and force of his arguments and the clearness of his logic.

A a result of Captain P.elners' re fusal to carry out a contract made by him with Ifeinrich Faber and Herman Hinsche. attorney Hchnab"! 8;hna bcl pn Mcnday filed a libel against the Holland bark Pat in the United States district court.

In which It was agreed that Faber should be employed a mate on the vovace from Pirtland to Que-r.stown, Kngland. at wag equal to 145 per month. The libel also al leges a similar contract with the Cap tain and Herman Hinsche, who was engaged as a sailor at 125 per month for the same voyage. The libelant say In pursuance to their contracts they purchased an outfit suitable for the voyage and In other respects ex pended money for making the trip, when, at tne last moment, so hdh ants say. he sought to back out, and offered th' m $i each to relieve the boat from all liability, which they refused. A warrans c-f arrest of the ship was Issued and placed In the hands of Depu ty United State. Marshal Morse, who came to Astoria yesteroay ana pro- reeded tn take possession of the ship, and now has her In charge. Figur ing live months as a reasonable time within which the vessel could make the trip, the llbellants ask for wages for that period ana tor tneir expen d I lures and costs of suit. Acordlng to the captain's story the two men wished to be released at the last mo ment and as they were hard up he gave them five dollars apiece and let them go. which fact they took advantage of and claimed that the amount paia was as a guarantee of their salary and brought suit for damages.

The plal.it: avers that the accident waa due directly to the carelessness and negligence of the owners of the steamer. C. E. Burrows & Co.. In not providing the proper and safe means whereby passengers could reach the shore. It Is alleged the plaintiff was compelled to leave the steamer on a narrow plank, which was placed at a deep angle and without ropes or guards. and it was altogether a dangerous un dertaklng to attempt to reach shore by the plank. He was directed by one or the officers or the steamer to pass on the plank, which he did. He fell, strlk Ing his back, hips and head on the boat below and against the dock, and into the water. The shock is alleged to have rendered him unconscious for several hours and caused him to be confined to his bed until August 20, and that the injuries to his spine, head and hips are permanent.

Cousins, the new Salvation Army com mander for the north Pacific district. comprising Oregon, Washington . and southern Idaho, with headquarters at Portland, states that the army was nev er before more prosperous nor In better standing than It is today. He had been connected with the army for nineteen years, filling numerous positions, and In command of districts in Canada and various states or the Union from Maine to Washington. In each field of action he had seen the work prosper, new ter ritories had been opened up, new corps enlisted, the number of workers in creased and the work advanced In all of Its branches, financial, social and spiritual. During the time he had seen many wonderful conversions of extraor dinary cases. In this new field Major Cousins said he proposed to extend the work, and during the two wveks that he had been In Portland had already arranged for opening new corps In the two smaller cities of Washington, one of which wouH be Dayton. He has found the army prosperous all over this North western territory, and the same en ergy that had marked Its progress tn the past would be continued in the fu ture. - THE LAST DAY.
