The Albany Cirv Election. At the
city election held in Albany on Tuesday, the
following ticket was elected: Thomas Wal
lace is the City Treasurer; Westfafl, Marshal;
' W. C. Reed, Couhcilman in the First Ward;
J. N. Hoffman, Second ward and J. O.
Wrightsman, Third ward. Honors were
easily divided us three democrats and two re
publicans were elected.
' Sermons. DeWitt Talmage is quoted as
saying: 'I prepare my sermons usually by
walking the floor or on a railway train. 1
can think better when in motion than when
stationary. I sometimes jot down notes on a
train, though I generally carry them in my
head. When I go ofl on a journey, by the
time I get back home I have sermons blocked
out for 150 years." It is safe to say that De
Witt will not preach them a . hundred and
fifty years hence.

Oregonian we leant that Col T.' E. Hogg has

Shipmasters' Association. She is now at New
York having additions for passenger accom
modations made.' She will leave New York
early in January to be placed in the San Fran
cisco and Yaqijina trade.
What Was! It? Yesterday morning be
tween 6 and 7 o'clock, residents of Salem who
were out on tlje streets at that time were
startled to see the heavens snddenly light up,
and make objects almost as plain as in day
time. Up in the heavens was visible a strange
streak of light, which looked like it might be
a roll of paper burning and wavering in the
air. The light grew rapidly dimmer and in a
few minutes there was no trace of it left. It
was not a meteor, an aerolite, shooting star
nor a comet. What was it? Statesman.
Bad Conduct Bro. Gray in the tCoast
Mail has the following . about the way some
bovs conduct themselves in church. He
might as well have said girls too, for in Rose
burg it isabout a stand off sometimes. . Shame
on girls and boys that do not hehave them
selves in company or church. "Rev. W.
Lund said some very plain truths, in his rep
rimand to the boys on the back seat, last Sun
day nicht. Some bovs. and pretty laree one s
too. have an idea that it is smart to disturb
neoDle at Divine service. It is about the
most idiotic conduct anyone can adopt. It i:
an insult to your father and mother, for it i;
a public declaration that you are not well bred
No gentleman will do it. It is no indication
of smartness, for any fool can make a noise
and ciccle. The law protects the worshiper
in these public exercises, and if seme one
would make a complaint against such persons
and let them be punished, tne act wouiu
heartily endorsed by all decent people."

DISPATCHES.
SAFE-BREAKERS FOILED
AS ATTACK OX ALLEN & LEWIS'S
BVJtGLAR-VROOF FAILS.
One of the Burglars Wounded while Resitt
ing ArrestA Somewhat Strange
Story not Yet Ripe for
the Public.
Chief of Police Parrish and his force were
made glad yesterday morninc by the capture
of two safe-breakers. They have been on the
watch for them for the past two weeks, hav
ing had information of the plans of the fellows.
The burglars entered Allen & Lewis's estab
lishment about five o'clock yesterday morning,
where police Barry, Simmons and Branch
were posted to watch for them, while the
chief and officer Belcher were on guard out
side. They took a look at the vault, and one
f them said: "We are fooled; let's get out of
here." They then started for the back door.
y which they entered, and . Simmons ordered
them to halt. One of them dropped his tools,
and both broke away at a racing speed, and
after a sharp race were captured in the Yeto
odging house corner of First and Jefferson
streets. Ed Clayton considered the leader,
jumped out of the window on the roof of a
shed and was shot in the leg above the knee
by Simmons, after which he threw up his
hands. The other, Wm. Fay, gave up at the
same time and both were taken to the city jail.
Dr. Baven extracted the bullet from Clayton's
eg and he is not much worse of his wound.
There is a long and rather singular story con
nected with the capture of these men . which,
at the request of the chief of police and in tht
interests of justice, cannot bo made public at
this time.
A young man who is a comparative stranger
ere and who wishes to avoid notoriety, in
formed Chief Parrish nearly two weeks ago
that he had found a regular safe cracker here
and had won his confidence, and had joined
him in a scheme for robbing Allen & Lewis
safe. This young man, it seems knew the
mrglar Clayton, to be such, intuitively, and
y palming himself off as a very bad man and
desperate character, had been accepted as a
pal by him and invited to join in the robbery.
Ie then informed Chief Parrish and they laid
lans for capturing the burglars in the act of
obbery. The robbery was to . have been at
tempted a week ago yesterday moruing, but
was delayed on account of the tools not being
ready. Ever since the s police have been in
formed of the matter, they have been watch
ing and waiting, and Chief Parrish and Bel
cher, on whoso beat the job was located, have
ost much sleep and some flesh.
They we're on the watch all Saturday night.
The informer secreted himself in the store, ac
cording to his agreement with his "pals,
where he was to bind and gag the watchman
and kill his dog. Policeman Barry, Simmons
and Branch were secreted in the store, armed
and placed so as to command the vault. The
watchman was bound and the dog killed as
per programme, but owing to a window shut
ter at the north end of the building being ac
cidentally left open the burglars were alarmed
and did not enter the building till. 5 o'clock
yesterday morning. The tools dropped in
the store were a big sledge, a mallet, chisel,
screw driver, a lot of fine drills, six skeleton
keys, four line steel punches, a lolt with a
thick piece of rubber on the head, potty knife,
etc. The tools Clayton -had were thrown in
the river when they were running away.
Fay has been a partner in the blacksmith
shop on Second street near Main, and is a
blacksmith by trade. Clayton says he Is a
painter by trade. He says he worked for C.
N. Scott painting cars at Woodburn " for six
months; that he was paid off here "a month
ago to-day with $668, and that he went back
to Woodburn and paid a board bill of $108,
His story is that he met the young man who
put up the job on him at the Boca saloon, and
that this young man suggested the scheme of
robbing a safe, and that it was at his sttgges
tion that the tools were brought. Clayton in
troduced the "informer" to Fay, and he was
led to ioin the scheme and to make some
punches. Clayton's story has an air of plaus
llnlity. I Ie says he was a fool, and it now
seems to him that he was blind when he looks
back and sees how he was duped and led to
join in such an infamous scheme. As soon as
jt can be properly done the public will be
given an outline of the whole affair, about
which there are some things not fully under'
stood as yet by the police or by anyone else.

A COWARDLY LOT OF PASSENGERS.
They Entrust the, LatHe trith their Talu

the Itoblirrs.
St. Locis, Pec. 12. Particulars of the
train robbery yesterday near Bellevue station
Texas, are that three rohliers, who were un
masked, and made no effort at concealment,
arrived at the water tank a few minutes before
the train. When the train arrived one of the
robbers, with a drawn pistol, ordered Engin
eer Aycrs and his fireman, and O. G. Miller,
another engineer, who was riding in the cab,
to alight, which they did. He then marcho
them some thirty feet from the train and went
through them, taking all the valuables they
had. While this was going on the two other
men went through the train.
A FORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCE. .'
Il appears that one of the passengers in the
rear car, who was looking out of a window
and saw the operation with the train men;
divined the situation. He went to the for
ward cars and notified the other passengers
of what was going on, and told them to secrete
their money. I his they did in various ways
giving most of it and their diamonds, Iq several
ladies aboari . Miss Kate Haas, of Fort
Worth, took charge of $3ooo and other val
uablcs. Mrs. Chatibers, of Tottsdam, N. Y
received $5000 and some diamonds, and Mrs
Wittick, of Carthage, Mo. took her husbands
gold watch and several hundred dollars , Mrsi
Wittick was greatly incensed, and boldly stood
up in the car and asked if forty men were
going to tamely submit to such an outrage at
the hands of two highwaymen.
WHAT THEY DIDN'T OET.
About $12,000 in money and $4000 worth
of diamonds and other valuables were' left by
the robbers in their haste to get through the
train, and because thev did not search the
ladies. They were evidently novices in the
business, and went away with the paltry sum
of $105, three gold watches, ten silver watches
five revolvers and one irold rinc The robbers
left the train at the rear end of the sleeper,
mounted horses, standing near by, and rode
rapidly away.
The train was then hurried on to Bellevue,
where telegrams were sent to Superintendent
Frost, at Fort Worth, who immediately re
plied, offering $250 reward for each robber,
5nd in less than an hour five posses of officers
and citizens were in pursuit.
A LOT OF COWARDS. .... ;
Superinjendent Connors was on the train,
having in charge two deserters, with . a guara
of five negro soldiers of the 24th artillery. Mr,
Connors commanded the soldiers to draw their
revolvers and fight the robbers, but several of
the passengers opposed this so strongly, and
pleaded so earnestly in behalf of the women
and children on board that the superintendent
reluctantly yielded, and when the robbers
reached the soldiers and demanded their weap
ons they quietly gave them up.
T1MBEH VEVREnATIOXS IX OUS.
The Capital Lumber Co., of Saltm, Offers
$10,000 to the Uoeernmeut.
Wash ington. Dec. 11.. Th Capital
Lumber company, of Salem, Or., is charged
with cutting upon the public domain in that
state 35,000,000 fect of lum1cr, valued at
$14 per thousand, or $49,000 in the aggregate.
Some time ago the company, fearing prosecu
tion, offered the government in compromise
$5000. Tho solicitor of the treasury sent the
offer to the attorney-general, who directed
the United Slates district attorney for Oregon
to investigate and report. He did so, and
recommended that no compromise should be
accepted for a sum less tlian the value of the
stumpage at $32,000. Lately the company
made another ofier of compromise in the sum
of $10,000, and it was accompanied by a
recomnie ndation from the district attorney
that that sum be accepted. In explanation of
this, the district attorney reported that on
further investigation he had found that the
gent who had investigated and reported upon
the depredations had not valued tho stum pace
at all, Jmthad lain "sodden drunk" in a cabin
while two persons he had dcpuje.d, but who
were not familiar with the lines, did the count
ing. The prosecuting attorney fears that the
effect of such a revelation on the jury would
destroy his case, aud he thinks it safer to
compromise.
The secretary has ordered a new investiga
tion of the facts, and the case carried to 'prose
cution' unless settled. The limber agent
charged with drunkenness was for a longtime
connected with the homestead division of the
general land office.

WHY RUSSIA RECALLED HER AGENTS.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 10. The Official

THE NEW CABLE SCHEME.
Montreal, Dec, io. Within the past
month immense strides have been made to
ward realizing the Pacific cable scheme, and

the various colonial governments will co-oper
ate regarding this matter. Operations will
not be commenced until all the governments
interested are heard from."

The Iterlrat in Roseburg.
Perhaps never in the history of this place has
there been such a general awakening upon re
ligion as is now going on, and for the past two
wcrks in the Presbyterian church. These
services of a revival nature began with Rev.
S. P. Wilscn P. E. of the M. E. church, the
result being to that church a number of ac
cessions, this was followed up by our resident
pastors, until Rev. Mr. Ingle of East Port
land came about two weeks ago, when a new
and lively interest was soon developed. The
large church is crowded from night to night,
and many young ladies and gentlemen, also a
number heads of families have professed faith
in Christ and joined the church. Some 40 per
sons have already united with the Presbyte
rian church, and no doubt many others will
join other churches in the city. The work
still continues unabated. Rev. Ingle calls
things by their right names and probes to the
quick. He administers no opiates, but speaks
forth words of truth and soberness.

VEIF1C FORCE.
One eve as I sat pouring o'er,
An ancient tome of mystic lore;
(The Genesis of lime to tell)
Into a trance some how I fell.
Likewise the tome fell from my hand
And lay outspread upon the stand.
Thus being freed fram worldly jew
My soul rose upward in the ajrj
And looking back upon the clay,
A breathing pulsate body layj
And, save the breathing living breath,
That form lay silent as in death.
The dormant brain no thoughts evolve,
(A mystery I could not solve)
While all life's forces still move on
In perfect harmony to join
External force with one acclaim,
For one grand purpose all do aim ;
Liquids and solids all unite
Within the darkness as in light,
To form one body, mortal man,
The acme of a perfect plan
A culmination of design
That proves the plapned quite divine.
Oblivious to sentient thought,
(The earthly things I knew them not.)
I on the wings of fancy flew
To learn the why of all we view.
I saw the wonders of th e frame
And saw how intricate the same;
I saw the bone, the muscles, heart,
I saw the vital currents dart
And fly with force to every part
And with new impulse start
When pain or pleasure bade it go;
Or leave behind w ith slackened flow
When palsying fear or deep despair
Called to the heart to tarry there.
I saw the blood flv through each vein,
I saw the nerves which serve the brain,
I saw the pulses quickly beat
(With awe I saw the wondrous feat) brain
When thoughts of love shot through the
Or nerves were tortured with a pain.
I saw a smile echo of thought
Play o'er the face a charm it wrought.
I saw the placid ness of love,
I saw the pain that hate will move,
1 saw that "evil is to good
What darkness is to light." So stood
The pleasing apothegm; and so
I was delighted much to know
That motion under law and Force
Keep all things in their proper course,
While gazing on the wondcrous scene,
My soul elated, yet serene,
Fair Psyche bade me follow her
Still farther on as worsliijier,
Of space and Force, and further see
The granduer of immensity.
So on we moved ten millions more,
The end no nearer than before;
Though worlds on worlds passed in view,
The scene was grand, enchanting, new.
Each moving in his primal course,
Impeled by one giand mighty Force
That holds all matter in his hand
From floating motes to planets grand,
The molicule or the bounding sea,
Immortal minds orspirits free,
The subtle gass or granite rock,
I Ie keeps them in (without a shock)
Their proter place, by laws intent
On planets grand, in firmament.
And thus in one eternal round
Force holds the mystery profound
Keeping all worlds safe in their course
By this one grand deific Force.
And thus it is we're made to sec
That innate Force is Deity,
Intelligent Force is the God
And everywhere is his abode
Creating and sustaining all
Elsewhere as on this earthly ball.

On the death of J. J. Whitselt, a member
of Umpqua Camp of Indian War Veterans.
llis toils are o'er, his work is done,
Hi weary soul is now at rest,
nd death the victory hath won,
He ranks as one divinely blest.
lie fought the fight of life below,
And gradually succumbed to potccr.
Uprightly he received deaths blow,
And man's judgment falls as passing shower.
He risked his life to bring us peace
In early manhood against the foe;
In yonder grave he's found release
From all those that cntaileth woe.
So let him sleep his work is o'er,
He's marching to a heavenly strain,
A patriot is wafted to God's sweet shore,
And mournful his comrades will remain.

.1 Charming Carlgle Letter.
Among the newly-published Carlyle letters
is this altogether delightful note from him in
his 26th year to his sister of II:
Dear Little Tane: Tnou never wrotest me
any kind of a letter, yet I would be glad to see
one from thy hand. There is in that little
body of thine as much wisdom as ever inhab
ited so small a space; besides, thou art a true
character, steel to the back, never told a lie,
never flinched from telling the truth; and for all
these things I love thee, my little Jane,vand
wish thec many blithe new years from the
bottom of my heart. Does the little creature
ever make any rhymes now? Can she write
any? Is sho at any school? Has she read
the book we sent her? Tell me all this if
thou hast jKjwcr even to form strokes, that is
to go through the first elements of writing. 1
am living here in a great monster of a place
with towers and steeples, aud grand houses all
in rows, and coaches and cats and men and
and women by thousands, all very grand; but
I never forget the good people at Mainhill
nor thee, among the least in stature, though
not the least in worth. Write then if thou
canst. I am very tired, but alwavs thy af-
ectionate brother,
Th. Carlyle.
Give my compliments to Nimble, that
worthiest of ours. Is lames Aiken with you
till? I reckon him to be a worthy boy.

Science Again. Mr. Editor; being aware
that you are liberal enough to admit of inves
tigation I wish to call your attention to the
laws of the physical and spiritual universe as
they are called by many theologians who be
lieve in science. Agreeable with their views
spiritual laws are coexistent and coeterna! with
physical. While the Atheist says there is no
God but force, the Deist says there is no force :
but God. According to the Deist, force
could not be without God, nor could it demon
strate itself without matter or organs to act
upon. Then in accordance with the. Athe
istic view there could be no God without force,
and a universe. So we infer that God works
by ways and means and also that light, heat,
magnetism, electricity, and gravitation are
counterparts of God. Upon this hypothesis
there can be no science without God, neither
cart there be God without scientific facts to
demonstrate it. Also with rerrard to the cor
poreal or physical
man who is intimately and
inseperably connected with the metaphysical
or psychical man. From their incipiency they
co-operate until dissolution by death, though
sometimes intercepted by idiocy, idiosyncrasy
and insanity. The physical man being com
posed of native elements or properties such as.
lime, sulphur, sodium, iron, water &c, by.
natural process is resolved into their incorpor
eal forms. Now, does the metaphysical or
ysycnicai man revert to tnt torces of nature
which developed it, by coming ia contact with
the physical man by actinc upon the nerves of-
the vertebra? in fact the whole system with
the brain, or does it preserve its individuality
without a physical orean. As God is uiil n
be in a stale of ubiquity, is in all and over
all, can any law in theology conflict with any
law of the physical universe. We will as
sume that those who know little of the laws of
the universe know little about God or them
selves. L. c. Hill, '
Verdict For Government Ti.MHER,-The
case of the United States vs. IL V. Messenger,
charged with cutting timber on government
land in Douglas county, was tried in the
United States circuit court this week. It was
shown that defendant had cut timber on one
section, which he manufactured into 60,000
feet of lumber. The jury returned a verdict
for the plaintiff for the value of the lumber, at
$14 per thousand, $840. It was shown that
a still larger amount of timber had been cut on
a section of railroad land. The court held
that the government could not recover for
tliat, as the land grant of the O. & C rail
road had not been forfeited, and it made no
difference whether it had been earned or not,
the land belonged to the company tilt the
grant was forfeited by the government.
The Mississippi Source. The source of
the Mississippi has been discovered again.
Capt. Willard Glazier announces that he has
discovered a hitherto unknown body of water
south of Lake Itasca, which he says is the trae
source of the great stream. It is well known .
the source of the river, long supposed to be
Itasca lake, was "moved on" some years ago
to Turtle lake; and now Capt. Glazier asserts
that he has discovered the true source "In the
unfrequented region between Leech lake aad
Red river, not less than one entire degree ot
latitude south of Turtle lake," -and that this
newly discovered body of water is not less than
three feet higher than the level of Lake Itasca.
In some quarters the alleged discovery is rid
iculed, and "Glazier lake" is classed with
'Jones river." Oregonian.
