3 AsTORlA."OREGbi7 THURSDAY FEBKUAR 17. 1587 And bo we are to have another elec tion in November! Five dollars appears to be the limit on marriage fees this winter. The Astoria charter is again amend ed. After awhile it will be fixed all right and probably remain fixed. The rain had things pretty much its own way yesterday, and a nice mess it made of the snow. The sleighs are nearly all called in, and wheeled vehicles are again in use. In the next legislature Clatsop county will have a Etate senator and two representatives, and will have representation proportionate to her population and tax quota. The legislature adjourns to-morrow night. It would be hard to find any end or part of the state that is entirely satisfied with the deeds of omission and commission at Salem this session. Euchre parties are "all the go,'- and scarcely an evening passes without a social card party at some private res idence. The ancient game of "big pedro," appears io hold its own with the habitues of public resorts. Yesterday, says the News of the 16th, a well-known Portland man re ceived a letter dated New Yoik, Feb ruary 7th, from C. P. Huntington, vice-president of the Central Pacific railroad. In it the writer says the Central has certainly purchased the Oregon & California railroad, but he knows nothing of future plans. They are trying to introduce green chalk into some of the billiard rooms of Chicago. It is claimed that the chalk loses none of its adhesiveness by reason of its artificial color, and that it possesses the merit of preserv ing the color of cloth. Chalk, as it is used at present, soon fades the heav iest emery cloth, and makes the ta bles appear unsightly and worn. An agent of the Northern Pacific company, of Portland, was in town this week, says the Castle Rock Ad vocate, contracting for all the logs he could get at $o and 35.50 per thous and. One of the most favorable signs of better times in the lumber business is the fact that the contractors Tfir saw logs now come to the parties Eg ging, to buy. Time was when the loggers were compelled to hunt a market for their logs. Last Tuesday the barkJemnow, from Tacoma, was crossing the Sau Francisco bar in tow of the tug Re lief, when the bitts around which the hawser was fastened on the bark broke, struck the forecastle and kill ed three seamen in its passage over board. The men killed were Martin Kisky, aged 50, one known as Henry, aged 50, and another known as Gus, aged 28. The two former were Finns. The latter was a German. All were unmarried. The Victoria Times of the 11th iust. says: The ten members of the Thomp son opera troupe who were unwill ingly obliged to remain behind, were sent on their way rejoicing this morning- Several dollars were subscribed by the members of the Abbott com pany and about forty-five dollars more was raised among our leading citizens. This squared their hotel bill, or rather about half of it, find paid for reduced fare tickets to Port land, where the company will be re organized under the management of Mr. Goldstein, of the Casino opera house. Yesterday morning The Astoisian received its first authentic news from the Dawn and her crew of two men, since the day the devoted little vessel drifted to sea. It was to the effect that the men were safe in San Francisco, having got thero on the Empire and that the Daren was lost. The news of the safety of" the men was received in the city with the greatest satisfaction, and wo con gratulate the friends and relatives of the two men on their relief from the horrible suspense of the la'st two weeks.

The steamer Empire arrived here to-day from the north. She picked up on the 12th iust. the little steamer Dawn which drifted out of the Columbia river owing to her machinery becom ing disabled, some days ago, and which it was feared had been lost. Tho Empire sighted the Dawn just off Yaquina bay. Al. Church, captain of the little craft, and John Harmon, the engineer, were both saved and brought to this port. The steamer was compelled to abandon the Dawn as she conld not be towed, or at least was not worth the trouble. The Empire, which arrived from Nauaimo this morning, brought Capt. A H. Church and Eugene Har mon,of the sfeani scow Dawn, which, while steaming, around Asto ria, February 3rd, exploded one of her steam pipes and drifted out to sea. On tho 12th, when forty miles off Yaquina City, she was picked up by the steamer Emjire. Butler, of the latter vessel, attempted to tow her into Coos bay, but on account of heavy seas, was prevented. Fasten ing a hawser to the Dawn, he then endeavored to bring her to this port. Tho hawser, hotvever, parted, and he was compelled to abandon her. PIiEKTT OF WATEK AT IiYOKS. Lxons, Mich., Feb. 16. The water is gradually receding, but tho fact gives no comfort inasmuch as with the coming of the gorged waters from above, the flood will undoubtedly be come greater and more disastrous than as yet. The river still flows through the business part of the vil lage; the losses are augmenting hour ly. This morning it is freezing and the water is threo inches lower. The attempt to break the gorge with dy namite was a failure. A STEAMSHIP ASHORE. New Yobk, Feb. 16. The Guion line steamship TViscon, from Liver pool for New York, is ashore on the outer bar, fifteen miles east of Fire Island. The stranded vessel was discovered at 835 this morning, when the iog which had prevailed during the night, lifted. She is hard on the beach and a heavy sea is running. No communication has yet been had with the vessel from the beach, but the passengers and mails are stated to be safe. ATJSTBIA GETTING BEADY. Vienna, Feb. 16. The questions asked the government in tho reichs rath, yesterday, in relation to the purpose of credit for military pur poses, elicited tho information that Hungary would only enroll in the landsturms such men as already had military training, or were likely to make good soldiers. Numerous ex emptions would be made in Austria for tbe enrollment of men under the age of 42 years, and would be almost universal. Ex-officers up to the age of sixty will also be enrolled, and men who are only fitted for ambu lance or office work will be excused. PHILADELPHIA'S ELECTION. Philadelphia, Feb. 16.

Chris Ahouse was found dead in a skiff on the rocks near Harrington's point. It appears that deceased was a na tive of Holland, aged 42 years; that ho left Charles Wood's scow, near Fluid slough, in a small boat for As toria, February 4th, with sixty dollars to purchase supplies for Mr. Wood; that he went to Astoria, purchased the supplies and also two bottles of whisky, leaving Astoria the same day to return to Wood's scow. When on his way he must have been caught in a floe of ice, as his fingers were much worn, and one thumb nail entirely worn oil". One of the bottles of whis ky was nearly empty; the other had not been uncorked. Inquest held, tho verdict being death by exposure. Important to Ladies Bead what Jeannie Winston, Port land's favorite prima donna, says of Wisdom's Bobertine: Portland, Dec. 22, 1886. To Mr. W. M.

The above is published in order to settle all doubts and disputes as to the existence of such an endorse ment, and as evidence of the high esteem in which Wisdoms Bober tine is held.

In this commodity the market has developed no new features.

Overland shipments of canned salmon in January from this city via tho Southern " Pacific company's lines were insignificant, aggregating a total of only 259,000 lbs, against 703,240 lbs. in December, and 67,190 lbs. in January, 18S6.-S.

The city council met in adjourned session yesterday evening, a majority of the board being present, J. C. Boss acting as clerk of the council. The mayor said he supposed that the only bussness before the council was tho matter of city lights. Councilman Cleveland asked to have read a com munication that ho had received, which was done. The communica tion was from J. W. Girvan & Co., of Sau Francisco, regarding payment of $1,171, for hose bought for the As toria fire department last Julv. Councilman Cleveland thought the credit of the eity was interested in the matter, and moved that immedi ate arrangements be made for the payment of the amount due. Coun cilman Bergmau thought it would be well to draw the money from the police fund. After considerable dis cussion it was unanimously agreed to postpone further consideration of the matter till the next regular council meeting. A petition asking the removal of sexton A. Y. Grubb was read and a statement made regarding the matter by Coroner Boss. After some discus sion, the matter was deferred till Mack Twombly could hunt around and find the sexton. A petition numerously signed by members of Astoria Engine Co. No. One, was received, asking that an electric light be placed at that com pany's engine house. Councilman Cleveland moved that the petition be granted. Carried. A petition with 73 signers, was read, asking the city council to lay out and open a street from the west end of Concomly street west to the county road leading around Smith's Point. Councilman Cleveland thought the petition should receive careful con sideration, and asked the city attor ney about what could be done. The city attorney said that there were two or three opinions on file now. Tho mayor, being called on by Coun cilman Bergman, made a speech. He said, among other things, that five men in threo hours could put the road in passable condition. When ever that street was made he would dedicate room for that street. He thought there ought to bo a street there and the time was coming when he would have to shut the street up or keep it up at his own expense. It was time for the citizens to take hold of the matter and see that a street was run back of his house where no piling would be needed. The city attorney said that such street could be laid out and kept un der tho jurisdiction of the city. The mayor said he was willing to donate enough for a street through that part of tho tract through which the street would pass that was owned by him. A street was needed for sev eral reasons. At present if there was a-fire in Uniontown it would be a dis astrous one. Tho statement was mado that the Cutting Packing company's repre sentative declined to allow teamsters and others desirous of repairing the road to go to work at it He wanted to have the city take hold and take some definite action in relation to tho matter. Councilman Bergmau thought it would be a good idea to have viewers appointed, and see what conld bo done abont tho matter. After a lengthened discus3ion,Conn cilraan Carruthers moved that the street superintendent be instructed t go down and repair the street with Mr. Tallant's permission. The motion was discussed and amended and re-amended, and Coun cilman Cleveland suggested that the street be repaired and kept in repair till tho first day of August. Councilman Gratko thought that tho public should be notiGed that the city would not be responsible for any possible damages. The motion a finally agreed to was passed. Then tho question of electric lights came up how many there should lie and where they should be placed. On motion, it was decided to put an electric light at the crossing of Benton and Concomly streets. Councilman Carruthers thought it would be a good idea to cut down the police force. The chief of police was called on, and said that the busy sea son was coming on, and if there was any reduction of the force the officers wonld have to be put on again in a mouth or so. A city of this size needed as .many policemen as were on the present police force. With good lights a police officer could see a drunk a block away and the drunk could see tho police officer the same distance. Then the council switched off the electric light and talked police awhile, the ultimate outcome of the discussion being that tho police force will not be reduced just at present. The chief then reported that he had been unable to find tho Eexton. Then tho difficulty between tho cor oner and tho grave digger was talked about awhile, and after some extend ed remarks, more or less appropriate to the occasion, that was shoved one sido by referring the whole business to next Tuesday's meeting at which time hostilities will be renewed. Then the city attorney read an ordi nance which he had drafted, the ordinance authorizing tho city to enter into a contract with J. C. Trullinger for him to licht and maintain ten electric lights of the Keith system; the lights to be distributed as follews: crossing of West 8th and Water streets; Cedar and West 7th streets; Squemoqua and Olney; Squemoqua and Cass; Sque moqua ana iiarayette; .iuain and Che namus. Madison and Chenamns: Washington and Concemly: Benton and Concomly and at the West Shore mills. The ordinance passed under sus pension of the rules. On motion it was ordered that the mayor dispose of the warrants al ready drawn for J. W Girvan & Co., and settle the indebtedness duo from the city to said Girvan & Co. The matter of the remainder of the street lights then came up, and it was decided to take that up next Tues day, whereupon the council adjourned. SENATE BILL NO. 77. A bill for an act to prevent the false labeling and branding of fish. Beit enacted by the legislative assem bly of the state of Oregon : Section 1. That it shall be unlawful to label or brand any canned or salted salmon caught between July 31 and January 1 of any year, with tho word "Spring," or any man ner to mark the same as "Spring Sal mon," or "Spring Catch."

Sec. 4. One-half of the fines col lected under the provisions of this act shall go to the informer, and the other half bo paid into the state treas ury for the benefit of tlm fiqh nnm. mission fund. Tree Trade. The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off revenue stamps from Pronrietarv Mpdininpa -nn doubt has larcelv benefited thn win. sumers, as well as relieving the bnr- uen or nomemanmaoturers. Especial ly is this the case with Green's August Floicer and Dosdtee's Ger man zyrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen; has been added to increase the size nf fhe hnf. tles containing these remedies, there by giving one-fifth more medicine in rue m cent size. The August Jf lower forDvsoeDsia and Liver flnmnlmnf- and the German Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps, tno largest sale or any medicines m the world. The advantage of in creased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in everv town and vilWe in civilized countries. Sample bottles lor j vmuu remain me same size, Saved By a Rattlesnake. A strange story comes from Bre vard county, Florida. John Leonard says that near him lives a family named Belden. They had a daugh ter, a girl thirteen years old, who had formed an attachment for a big rat tlesnake, which would come and go at her bidding, and nestle in her lap. The reptile was fond of the girl and would allow her to strike it and roll ifaboufc as she pleased. The girl wcg playing in some bushes near the house, with the snake in her lap. A negro saw the child, and, thinking she was unprotected, slipped upon hex, seized her in his arms, and was bearing her off into the woods, with his hand pressed over her mouth to stifle her cries. The snake crawled from the folds of her dress, crept around the brute's arm, and struck him on the neok, hissing in rage. The negro dropped the girl and dashed tho snake against a tree. The girl ran screaming toward her homo. The negro went only a few yards be fore he was overcome by the poison, and died shortly after in great agony. &ooI Results in Every Cae, J). A. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer of Chattanooga, Tenn., writes that, he was seriously afflicted with a severe cold that settled on his lungs: had tried many remedies without bene fit.
