Mrs. Laniont, who was brought here from Ilwaco, to have her foot amputated, is so feeble that the physicians do not think it 'advisable to attempt the operation at present Letters from Loriug, Alaska, report the burning of Duncan's mills near ther necessitating delay to Cutting Packing Co., A.

A money order convention between Germany and the United States has been signed by the German minister, count D'Arco Valley, and postmaster general Wanamaker. It increases the amount of a money order that can be sent by either country to the other from 850 to $100. Complaint continues to be made to The Astoeian of poor mail communi cation with Alaska. The mail service between Astoria and Alaska badly needs organization; as it is now there is no certainty or regularity and the lack occasions annoyance, delay and vexatious expense. Yesterday morning while the steamer Gen. Canby was tied up at the dock at Fort Canby, Aleck Mc Lean a member of the life saving crew while going on board fell over board. A rope was thrown to him and he was pulled on board the Canby none the worse for his ducking. The Geo. W. Elder, in yesterday, contradicts previous reports about the Alaskasalmou run. Parties aboard say the catch is something big all along the Alaskan coast, that canneries are run ning night and day and that the pack will be considerably larger than pre viously stated. The- Elder goes out again on her return next Tuesday. Says the British Columbian-. Da vid. Fee has returned from Naas river where he has been erecting a new cannery. The cannery is 104x70 feet, with an addition 30x30, and a canning capacity of about 400 cases per day. The name of the company owning it is the Cascade Packing company. They opened out with good prospects, the fish running well and the weather fine. Henry Lattine, alias D. E. Martin, alias E. E. Coleman, brutally mur dered C. C. Grant at Tacoma last Fri day. They had both arrived the day before from Spokane Falls where Grant had sold a restaurant for a large sum of money. Lattine was his com rade and treacherously murdered his companion, who vainly pleaded for his life. Then lie robbed the dead body and escaped, and is still at large. Yesterday morning about seven o'clock a fishing boat was seen drift ing bottom side up, by the employes of the Jetty at Fort Stevens. As noth ing was seen of any men, no attempt was made to save the boat. Later: The boat is believed to have belonged to the Occident cannery; the net was floating in a tangle all around the boat, and it is believed that both occu pants of the boat have been drowned, as they are missing. Sandy Olds, the convicted murderer of Ecail Webber, tells an Oregonian reporter that the encounter was simply a question of who could draw his gun the quickest: that they were both heeled, and that his (Olds) pistol being the smallest he got it out first, and that had Webber been able to get the drop on him. the trial would have been for Webber's killing him- instead of he killing Webber. Like eneugh: there's a good deal in the draw. Two petitions are being circulated, one from property owners in Olney's Astoria, and the other from property owners in Shively's Astoria, asking the city council to give notice and im prove streets running north and south from Court street to the south line of the city, and also to improve West Fifth, Sixth and Seventh streets from Arch street to the southern limits of the city bv cutting down all the tim ber, clearing and burning all brush out of said streets. The object being that persons owning property thereon can more readily find it for the pur pose of disposing of it, or acquiring more adjacent thereto. A NEW HOSPITAL TO BE BUILT. Mother Godfrey, superior general from Monteal, Canada, who w making a tour of the Pacific states and terri tories, visiting all the hospitals under her jurisdiction on this coast, is at present stopping in Astoria for a few days. She expresses herself much pleased with Astoria ami predicts a bright future for our city by the sea. She is also much pleased with tho work St. Mary's hospital is doing and sees the need of more room and ac commodations. This she informs ua will be attended to as soon as the nec essary arrangements can be made. The location for the new hospital has been selected and is now being graded. When the grading is completed no finer location for a hospital can be found on this or any other coast. It is high, dry and sightly, not loo far from business centers to be inconven ient, but far enough to be quiet and pleasant Just when they will begin the con struction of the building can not be ascertained at present, but we have the assurance that it will be soon. The kind of building they intend putting up will be a credit to any town and will be supplied with all modern im provements and accommodations and will lack nothing that goes to make a perfect hospital. The building will cost between fifty and seventy-five thousand dollars, will be heated with steam and supplied with elevator, reading room, smoking room, etc. SCHOOL JlKKl'lVJi WSTltlCT NO. ONE. At :i meeting in th' school house in district No. One lust evening, C. W. Fulton chairman, .1. G. Hustler secre tary, a financial statement was made of the affairs of the district, showing that in addition to 82,000 held to re deem that amount of bonds, there was S2,G70.S8 in the treasury. The estimates of- expenses for the ensuing vear were as follews: School, $5,000: interest on bonds, $2,0S0; re demption of bonds, $2,000; incidentals, $1,030; total, $10,033. The probable receipts were esti mated at $G00 from the county, and S2,UUU from the state, which added to the $2,070.88, made $5,270.88 to be de ducted from the $10,330, leaving $5, 059.12 to be provided for by tax. On motion a 4 mill tax was bv vote levied, and after some desultory discussion the meeting adjourned. There was a nine mill tax voted in '87, a seven mill tax in '88, and a four-and-a-half mill tax last night The New Survey Authorized. Major T.H. Handbury, United States engineer, yesterday received a dis patph from the ohief of engineers au thorizing him to make a survey of tho mouth of the Columbia. A survey was made four years since, and'as the jetty has been extended a long way since that time, it is now desirable that a new survey should bo made to find out what has been accomplished by the improvements. The survey will extend from. Tansy Point out to the curve of twenty-four feet depth of water, and will give an idea of what changes have been made in the channel by the extension of the jetty. The work will be begun about the 1st of August. It will be done bv Mr. Lyell and party, from Captain Young's office, who is now making a snrvoy of the month of the Siuslaw. Tho party complete, with the steamer Wright, will be transferred bv Cap tain Young to Major Handbury. Or egonian, 20.

Miss Struck oyle?" No, not much; you see I have not vet got the proper stockings for such work." "Got what?" The proper stockings the rubber garden hose I see advertised in the papers." -Time. A Terrible Case. "Let me die. 1 cannot afford to live." "Why?" "Well, my time is worth $5 an hour, so that it costs me $40 everv night to get eight hours' sleep. That is $14,600 a year for sleep alone. I can't do that on an income of $5,000." Harper's Bazar.

Cabman "All the difference in the world, sir. You're in full dress. If it's a recep tion, it's all right. If it's suicide, you pay in advance." Chicago Tribune, The wife of a really well-to-do Hin du is prohibited by custom from con versation with her husband except iu her own chamber. It is a ridiculous custom. About the only place a man doesn't want his wife to converse with him is in her own chamber provided he is addicted to coming home at 1 A. m., exhausted with business care and so forth especially tho latter. -Nor-ristown Herald. Invite Them Hen. A party of men will get to Portland to-morrow whom we would be glad to have visit Astoria.

Waud, of Juneau, Alaska, bringing the news of the drowning of Billy Williams and Herman Waschke, off Montaguo Is land some time ago. Their boat was picked up badly battered, and both bodies were lost Montague Island is about GOO miles north of Juneau. Billy Williams was well known on the Celumbia: he was for many yesm in Warren's cannery, but after shoot ipg ' Charley Mitchell he fled to Alaska.

Coffee and cake, ten rents, at the Central Restaurant PERSONAL MENTION. J. A. Montgomery leaves for tho Willapa to-morrow morning. Mrs. Francis Clarno, of Portland is in the city visiting her sister, Mrs. F. W. Newell. Mr. Alfred Davis, editor and" pro prietor Cathlamet Gazette, was in the city yesterday. Del Moore and Charley Bain re turned from a week's recreation at the seaside yesterday. C. Evenson, M. Foard, and Wm. Loeb were passengers on the Tele phone last evening. Mrs. Dr. Day, of Union, Miss P. Beese and Dr. P. Reese and wife, of Aurora are in the city visiting. The gentleman is a brother, and the ladies sistere of Mrs. Jas. W. Welch, of this city. Disastrous to the Traps. This has been a hard season on the fishing traps in Baker's bay and else where on the lower river, but espe cially in the first named locality, they being swept out to sea with disastrous frequency. Half a dozen more went last week, and over fifty have gone since the first of May. One owner who lost two last Friday, was interviewed yesterday and lie gave it as his opinion that their de struction is caused by the unusual saltness of the water, the absence of the currents of former years and the high winds. He says that a green fungus or slimy marine growth forms around the meshes of the nets and grows thicker and thicker. Then comes a high wind and the almost solid mass formiii considerable resistance, something has to give way, and tip come the piles and over goes the whole business bot tom up. Then a high wind comes sweeping westward, and away goes the trap to sea. Many trap owners are so discour aged that they have given up any effort, to do anything further this year. Custom Ilnnso anil Court House, The custom house is not in a very good condition at present, the roof leaks and the whole building needs alterations. The structure looks squat, and should have another story on it. About the best thing, under the cir cumstance, would be to have the building condemned and a new custom house built; the present building might be sold to advantage to the county; it would make a good court house with some alterations and im provements, and is in a central posi tion. Uncle Sam could with great propri ety give Astoria a new custom house, eligibly situated. We will have to have one pretty soon, and in the meantime the present building is badly in need of repair. ROFULA Is that impurity of the blood which pro duces unsightly lumps or swellings on the g.ands of the neck; causes painful running Lures on the arms, legs, or feet; developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often caus ing blindness or deafness; is the origin of pimples, cancerous growths, or the many other manifestations usually ascribed to 'humors;" and fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption, ami death. Being the most ancient, it is the most general of :.ll diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from it. J5ow Can St Be P.y taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by the remarkable cures it has accomplished, often when other medicines hae failed, lias proven itself to be a potent and pecul iar medicine for this disease. Some of these cures are really wonderful. If you ruffer from scrofula or impure blood, bq sine to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. " Every spring my wife and children Jin vo been troubled with scrofula, sores break ..ig out on them in various places. My little boy, thiee years old, has been a tcvrible sufferer. Last spring he was one mass of sores from head to feet. I was advised to use Hood's Sarsaparilla, and we have all taken it. The result is that all have been cured of the scrofula, my little boy being citiiely free from sores, and all four of my children look bright and healthy." W. I. Athkiiton, Passaic City, J. J.
