C3? frftc JiaUjj gMtamn, ASTO RlA.TRKG6s7 THURSDAY .TAXUAKY 3). 1SS7 The Gen. Dlilcs came in from Gray's hnrbor yesterday afternoon. The Queen is due from San Fran cisco this morning. The Columbia Rails. Eovival meetings are still in pro gress in the Methodist church, in creasing in interest and attendance from night to night. The Thompson opera company are booked for Boss Opera ho use on the 31st inst., and 1st pros., and Uncle Tom's Cabin on the 5th and 6th pros. Captain Herbert Beecher didn't get so .badly left after all. A3 fipecial agent of the treasury department he gets $8 a day, and 5 a day for travel ing expenses. .A. Van.Dosen & Co. are sole agents for Colgan's lubricating oil, the mer its of which are set forth in their ad vertisement which appears on the second page this morning. The proposition to abolish the po lice judge's office meets with favor from the taxpayers. The position has not the most savory of records and the best interests "of the city would not suffer if it wero legislated out of existence. In the circuit court yesterday the jury in the Bartels case brought in a verdict of not guilty. A similar ver dict was given in the Charley Yun case. The case of the State vs. Lin and Gin Bow was set for trial this morning, and court adjourned. Lumber exports from tbe Westport mill for the first six months of '86 amounted to six cargoes, aggregat ing 1,622,500 feet, worth 15,433. Tho mill was totally consumed bv fire on the 20th of last July, but, it is confidently believed, will be rebuilt in the spring. The present term of the circuit court Ib not productive of any very startling events, the cases being of a prosaic order. The several oflioeis are grinding the grist as fast as pos sible. Deputy district attorney Wat son is district attorney dr. facto and dejura this term and creditably en joys all the usufruot thereto belong ing The justly oelebrated Pyke opera company and the charming canta trice, Miss Jeannie Winston, who have been playing in opera to de lighted audiences in Portland will appear next Monday evening at Boss' opera house in the brilliant opera "JPrince Methuselah." Duo notice will be given of the sale of reserved seats. The entertainment at Liberty Hall this evening will be of a nature that will afford satisfaction to all attend ing. Beside the children, some of the best musical talent of the city will appear in vocal and instrumental se lections, Prof. Francis, Miss Nellie and JKatie Flavel, and others, and some excellent music will be pre sented. The Frishkorn family returned to Manhattan last Tuesday, and yester day telegraphed for legal assistance to gain possession of their home. The trouble in that locality seems yet unsettled. Public opinion is on the side of the Frishkorns, and rightly, too, and if the friends and relatives of Gunderson stait a vendetta they will regret it. There will be an entertainment for the benefit of the Presbyterian "Sun day school this evening, in Liberty Hall. An enjoyable programme has been prepared consisting of vocal and instrumental music, recitations, etc. Doors open at 7 v. m., entertainment commencing at 7:45. Tickets at Grif fin & Beeds. Beserved seats, 50 cents; gallery, 25 cents. No reduction for children. The proceedings of the fifth annual meeting of the firemen's association of Oregon and state firemen's tour ment held at Salem last September, are issued in very good shape in a namDhlet of 85 Daces. The nrwnrmt of the proceedings is full and com plete and is impartial. It is com piled by Frank E. Hodgkin, the sec retary of tbe association to whom The Astoeiax is indebted for a copy. The impression prevails in the minds of many of our eastern friends that in this "Web'oot'' country the rainfall of the year must exceed that of any other state. From tabulated statements the Albany Herald shows that the average yearly rainfall in the New England states is 47.85 inches, middle Atlantio states 46.42, south Atlantic states 59.01, gulf states 55, Ohio valley states 49.39, while in Or egon the average yearly rainfall for the last six years is about 44 inches. With the new year comes the usual addition of new subscribers to The Weekly Astoriak, an eight page paper that readers of the Daily sel dom see, chuck full of news and care fully made up of the best of tho Daily for a large and ever increasing circle to whom its weekly visits are welcome. Not the least of the satis factory inoidents in the life of a news paper man are tho pleasant words spoken by old subscribers in renew ing their subscriptions, and one of these kindly remarks serves to bal ance a dozen growls from those whom no one ever pleased. .Pleasant and profitable employ ment surely awaits a wideawake salesman who will supply the demand, in this vioinity, for the New Beversi ble Map of tbe United States and Canada and Pictorial Map of the World, 1887, issued by the renowned map publishers, Band, McNally & Co., 148-154 Monroe street, Chicago. A 'railroad and county map of the United States and Canada, with the greater portion of the republic of Mexico; a fine representation of Bar tholdi's "Liberty enlightening the World,'' and the "divisions of "Stand ard Kailway Time." are 3hown on the face of the map. On the pictorial side are separate colored maps of the world. Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Mexico. Also se lect engravings, diagrams and statis tical tables. S. K Stanley's Chicken Itanch. S. K. Stanley, of the Seaside, gives, in his hennery or "chicken ranch.'j a good example 01 wnas inanstry ana application can do in the raising of poultry as a paying business. He has a place fitted up with espacial refer ence to hi3 business, and employs help all the y.ir round. At present he only has a few hens, about 1,400 or 1,500, but in the summer time there are several hens and chickens to be found around Mr. Stanley's place. He make3 a specialty of supplying fresh eggs to the Astoria market, and if any one who buys a dozen of eggs from his place should rind a bad one in the dozen, it will be remarkable as being the first instance of the kind in a sale of thousands of dozens through several years, Mr. Stanley's hens don't cost much, it only takes the constant care of three men, and a little matter of expense, of .vhich four tons of wheat per month and from four to five tons of turnips a mouth form a part of tho bill of fare. He has about as largo a poultry res taurant as any of 'em. and has an en viable reputation for fine fat chickens and fresh eggs. Jumped the (tamo. On Tuesday morning, as the Tele phone was backing off from Kalaina, a sailor, who was on his way to join a ship at Astoria, jumped overboard and swam ashore, preferring u cold duck in tho river to a hot bath aboard ship. He stated to a reporter of the Kalama Advocate that he had. with a number of others, been "doped" in a sailors' boarding house here, and while under the influence of tho drugs, was induced to sign the usual ironclad contract and then bundled aboard the steamer for Astoria. This is often done hero, no donbt, and oc casionally a man is doped to death. But sometimes a fellow signs articles and gets his advance and then beala the game by running away. Orego- in.an, 19. Patti Not Likely to Sin:; in I'urtiuiii!. Judging from the present appear ance of the Patti subscription list at McKercher & Thompson's book store the great diva will not get a $15,000 invitation to visit this city. The only name that appeared on the list yesterday was "M. B. Goldstein," op posite which stood '$100." Fifteen thousand dollars is a goodly pile of money to pay for a concert or two, and as there is no great boom of any kind here just now it may bo said first as well as last, that Patti will not wet her little feet in Port laud this winter. Telegram, 18. Unneressary Misery. Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation as from any derangement of the functions of the body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason that no one likes to take the medicines usuallv pre scribed. HAMBUBG FIGS were prepared to obviate this difficulty, and they will be found pleasant to the taste of women and children. 25 cents. At all druggists. & Co.. proprietors. S. F. J. J.

OUR REGULAR PRESS REPORT. JAIIj delivery. Portland, Jan. 19. Four prison ers escaped from the county jail here to-day, by digging their way out un der the wal s. A WARNING TO RAQQAGB SMASHERS. Pittsburg, Jan. 19. The baggage oar attached to the jtfew York limited express arrived hero last night almost blown to pieces by dynamite, or some other terrible explosive, a few miles east of Altoona, Pennsylvania. The baggage master, Harvey Mingus, who was in the car at the time, was badly hurt. A trunk was put on tho train at Duncan, n'ar Harrisburg, and was checked to Pittsburg. Min gus, while arranging the trunks in the car, picked up a small, ordinary trunk and threw it on top of the oth er baggage. An explosion followed which lifted the top of the oar as though made of paper and scattered the fragments in all direci'ons. The shook was terrible; it startled the engineer and traiu men, and also at tracted the attention of the passen gers. When found the baggage car had been almost blown to pieces. The greatest excitement prevailed. The train was stopped and the bag gage transfeJred to another car. Mingns is seriously injured, but will recover. Tho brakeman who was in the car at the time, escaped by being thrown behind the stack of trunks. Tho damaged car was side tracked and tho train then proceeded on its way. Tho Pennsylvania railroad of Gcials have determined to sift the matter to the bottom. The owner of the trunk was arrested when ho pre sented the check for it at tho baggage room this morning. He said he was a Hungarian coal miner, named John Kagman: that he came from Hasle ton in search of work and strenuous ly denied that he had had any ex plosive in the trunk. He claims that it contained nothing but clothing and some matches, and pending investi gation will be detained. FORBIDS THE BANNS. Chicago, Jan. 19. Sheriff Mabon declares that he will not permit the marriage of tho condemmed anarchist Spies and the young woman named Van Zandt to occur so long as Spies remains in jail, under his oharge. The sheriff expresses surprise thatjhe parents of the girl should allow her to visit the condemned criminal. When Miss Van Zandt appeared at the jail this morning she was refused admittance by tho guards, as orders had been issued to allow no one to see the anarchists. A LIVELY MILL. Nyaok Turnpike, N. Y., Jan. 19. Tommy Danforth and Jack Harding fought to a finish near Nyaok on tho Hudson river early this morning. Danforth won on a foul, in seven rounds.

In the seventh round Harding intentionally fouled Dan'orth, and tho latter wad given tht pur30 and fight. FIRE AT ALLIANCE. PiiTSBrBG, Jan. 19. Specials from Aldance, Ohio, report a big fire raging there, tho lo3s already reaching more tnan S100,000. The fire started in Evans & Co.'s shoe atoro about three o'clock last evening aud spread quickly to the adjoining buildings on both sides, aud at ten o'clock six brick buildings had .been destroyed, and the fire is still raging. He Was Something of a Liar Himself. "We had captured a one-hundred barrel whale, and after the head .was split open I was detailed to dip out the oil. It's jnst like going into a big bath tub, and a man stands al most up to his armpits in oil. I was wading about in the monster's head, when I was suddenly startled by see ing the surface of the oil burst into a blaze, caused, as I afterwards learned, by one of the crew accidentally drop ping a box of burning matches. The only thing to do was to dive under the burning oil, and I did it, with my sheath knife in my teeth. I turned my head after I got underneath, and made a desperate effort to dig my way out with a knife. I managed to dig a holo large enough io thrust my head through, and then, by a mighty effort, escaped to the sea. It was a pretty tight squeeze, I can tell you, and my body was so warm that it made the water hiss all around me. The captain of the vessel thought that I had been burnt to death, and when I swam to tho side of the vessel, he was so frightened that ho told me that there was only one thing that prevented him from turning gray in a single night." "What was that?" asked the listener. "He was bald-headed.'' Gitoil Results iu Every Ca.e. D. A.
