The Undine lett Portland for this city at ten o'clock last night. The schooner Mary Dodge arrived from San Francisco yesterday to load lumber at Portland. Over $100,000 was paid out yester day to departing fishermen, the net re sult of their season's work. The steam schooner Augusta is loading at the Main street dock, and will sail for Tillamook to-morrow. The Western World, TL. E.

The largest amount of money ever paid out for one telegraph message in the history of the Pacific coast, was that of Schwabacker Eros., the day after the Seattle fire. It amounted to S600. W. L. Gleasou, advance manager of the Lawrence and Conner's Musical Comedy company, is in the city mak ing arrangements for the appearance of the company in "Widow 0,Brieu." next Fridav. Jno. Kopp is on deck again and will begin making beer to-morrow morn ing. Fire and disaster can't keep an enterprising man down, and he de serves great credit for his efforts to get his business into immediate shape. Services at Grace church at 11 this morning, at which Bishop Morris is expected to be present to administer the rite of confirmation. The second service will be at 4 iu the afternoon, with baptism. Evening prayer at 730 in Holy Innocent's chapel upper town. A well-known theatrical manager has implicit faith in the belief that if a deadhead is the first person to enter a theater it will bring badluck. While on the road recently two young ladies holding complimentary tickets were the first to present themselves at the theater when the doors were open. The manager's brow lowered when he saw the paper, and to the amazement of the ladies he requested them to wait iu the lobby until some tickets had been sold at the box office. Following are the rights of married women in regard to holding and dis posing of property in Oregen: "A married woinan rnay hold real and personal property in her qwn name and free from the control of, or liabil ity for, the debts of her husband, but a schedule of personal property must be filed with the county clerk: Her husband must join in all conveyances of Jier separate estate, bhe may sue and be sued in regard to her separate property. She may make a will un influenced by her husband." There were three men drowned during the fishing season just closed on the Columbia, two on the bar and one by falling from his boat in front ot the city. This is the smallest num ber of fatal casualties in any one sea son in the history of the business for twenty years. When one recollects that 3,000 men have been day and night in the water and on the water for four mouths, three, out of three thousand, seems a very low death rate. A far greater ratio than that die -ashore in far less hazardous enter prises. A Wall street, New York, firm, con sisting of a father, brother and son, is not likely to be dissolved very soon, if the precautions to ward off such a catastrophe go for anything. Every afternoon, it is related, these gentle men come slowly down the steps of the Mills building, carefully select from the crowd of cabbies a hansom big enough for three, and then depart for the "IT road where, they take three separate trains up town. The latter arrangement is to prevent the firm, collectively, from being caught in an accident The State of California is due from San Francisco to-day. She has on board D. M. Coey, F. Suober, J. A.

An inebriated individual in a wild excitement was arrested yesterday morning minus his coat which he had flung on the ground preparatory to a few cursory remarks of his relative to his alleged ability to defy the whole town to individual combat After he had been arrested AL Johnson picked up his coat to bring it to the jail. Coins, gold and silver began to roll out of one of the pockets, and upon picking it all up it aggregated S95.03, winch Johu son turned over to officer McCarty. The fellow was in luck to have an honest man find his coat. Next Friday and Saturday will ap pear Lawrence k. Conner's Musical Comedy Co. On Friday anight they give "Fun on the Bristol," Harry Con ners being the life and soul of the comedy in his famou3 impersonation of "The Widow O'Brien." It is one of the funniest of modern stage inven tions and, there will no doubt, be a large attendance. Billy Courtright, who never fails to elicit uproarious ap plause is also with this company and will add to the general hilar ity of the occasion. The sale of re served seats begins at the New York Novelty store next Wednesday. A burning chimney at the residence of Geo. W. Sanborn on Court street near Benton brought out the depart ment on the double qnick last night. As usual both gates in the pipe line were open and time was consumed iu the Amoskeag pumping the pipe full of water. Fortunately the fire was not serious, the damage being slight, but had there been a fire requiring water serious delay would have resulted. Some one opens these gates, for the pipe was full Friday evening. Chief engineer Weeks desires it stated that he will pay $10 for information lead ing to the detection of any one open ing the gates in the pipe line, for it is evidently done intentionally. PERSONAL MENTION'. Bev. A. LeEoy is in the city on a two week's vacation. Mrs. D. Kennedy and Mrs. T. Ens- sell left yesterday for a weeks sojourn at the Seaside. Railroad News From Abroad. Mr. William Eeid, of this city, lias received information from the Pull man Palace Car company that the twenty-five 25-tou flat cars ordered by him tor the Astoria and South Coast railroad will bo started west from Chicago next Thursday. Mr. Eeid has also ordered a 82J4 ton locomo tive. The flat cars will come here loaded with 50-pound steel rails for the Astoria and South Court road. Twenty of the cars will be loaded at Chicago aud tlu remainder at St. Louis. The Pullman company will continue making flat cars for tho Astoria road for the next eighteen months. In all 225 will be turned out As fast as finished they will bo loaded with steel rails, of which Mr. Eeid estimates that 3,000 tons will bo lequired to build the road to the Willamette valley. In this way $50,000 in freight charges will be saved to tho compauy. Mr. Eeid left for Astoria on railroad business last night Oregon inn, 3. V. K. F. V. U.

Meyer, for the firm of Mey er, Wilson & Co., has filed a libel in the United States District court against the ship Killean. He claims $3000 damages for the loss on a cargo" of tinware which was shipped on the Killean to this port from Liverpool, consigned to the plaintiff. The libel ant claims that the damage was owing to the unseaworthiness of the vessel and the carelessness of its officers. S. F. Call, July 31. The Astoria Railroad. Surveyors from Albany passed with in a mile of town and headed off for a gap between Dallas and Fall City. If the road is to go to Astoria it seems as though this is an out of the way route. Our citizens should meet and carefully discuss tld situation and, all act together. "Tu unity is strength." Independence West Side. ' TheY. M. C.

" - "" "" -" SOME SH0BT S0EEEDS On Live Topics Local and Otherwise. Written on Satnrday Night to be Uo.nl on Sunday Morning. The board of pilot commissioners meet to-morrow to take action on the letter of tho Oregon bar pilots turn ing the schooner over to them. The pilots have taken their personal ef fects out of her, and she lies at the service of the state that built and paid for her. She is a substantial little vessel, has lately been repaired at an expense of S450, paid by the state. If there are no pilots on the schoon er there won't be much for the pilot commissioners to do. They can't very well turn her over to the state; they can't sell her, and she won't improve .much while rock ing at anchor. The Astoriax makes a modest guess that the upshot of the whole business will be that the O. E. & N. Co., which is running the thing, will transfer some of its bar pilots from the tugs to the schooner, probably pilots Doig and Wood, and maybe Tom Johnson, and keep the Gov. Moody bobbing around outside. They can do it, for the law enacted by the Salem solons last winter gives the O. B. & N. Co. the privilege of maintaining bar pilots on the tug or the schooner, as that corporation may elect. A man named Pepsin wa3 assaulted by one Beed, a vagrant, in Portland last Friday. Pepsiu is a great aid to digestion, but this particular pep3iu doesn't want to di-jest yet, according ly he fled. An item in yesterday's Astoria.v anent early rising, arouses dissent, one gentleman saj'ing ho is a devout be liever in early rising: that everyone should "rise with the lark and with the lark to bed;" that late hours are injurious, and that he thinks the world would be better if all went to bed earlier. So do we, dearly beleved: so do we: if a man or a woman hath need of early rising it is well that they should early rise. If oue's work require that they should be on deck early in the nioraing, why then make a virtue of necessity and sing the praises of early rising. But the man who gets up early, just to be able to say he got up early, and goes around all day bragging about it, is an unmitigated nuisance and a bore. He is conceited all the fore noon and stupid all the afternoon. When he is up he doesn't amount to anything, and dozes when he ought to be alert. If we must get up at 5:30 a. jr., to live to bo 90, then wo prefer to die yeung: The good die yeung: But they whose hearts are dry ns summer dost, Barn to tho socket. So Astoria No. One's engine house is to be raised. It ought to be "raised," right out ot where it is and put in soiuo moro central Jooatio, Suppose, to-dfiy, a fire breaks out any where westiojf 'Lafayette street, look ht the round aboutway tho engine must bo drawn! Thos0 who get in aud pull would have to come down to Maii street and run away from the fire to get to it. Tho same way on the hill. Front the way Benton aud Lafayette streets look it will be some time before an engine could be drawn on either of them. Four years ago The Astoriam urged the removal of the engine heuse: to the lot west of Bergman Sc Co's, as a protection to that part of town. That or some similar location should be selected. We owe our immunity from fire damage and ravage to good manage mentand good luck. We shouldn't' overestimate the latter. At all events the engine house shouldn't be raised till the rest to the street westward is graded to admit of instant use, unless the engine be tein-' poranly housed while the raising is going on, This is even more important than the- purchase of pretty badges. Talking about carrying a revolver' it may be said in short meter, that no one but a coward carries a concealed, weapon, unnecessarily, a,nd it is characteristic of a coward to squeal when he $3 caught without his gun j It gives him, however, a chance ta brag of what he would have done if he'd 4,only been heeled?' To read a Sunday newspaper is sometimes thought to be immoral by a small proportion of some commun ities. Now is it-immoral to read on a Sunday the Sunday newspaper al ways supposing the newspaper read to be a decent publication relating the world's events, calling attention to their character and, to a greater or less extent, deducing a lesson from them? Would the average reader be better employed than he is while en gaged upon them, were there no Sun day newspapers? That is the whole question. The groves wero God's first temples, yet to wander in the woods on Sun day is quite as great a sin in the eyes of the ordinary assailant of a Sunday newspaper as to read one of those sheets. He has his own fixed ideas of how Sunday shoulcLbe observed. He does not agree with some others of the Sunday newspapers' opponents. The.etricfc-of one sect is not in accord with the strict ot another sect. And as follow Sunday should be observed, the .believing, decent man without a church holds to the idea that it is the intention and spirit rather than act in the thing, ontFhe observes it in. his own way. The Sunday paper tells simply what has happened upon this world the great Spirit ot the universe has made. It relates the dpings ,o the creatures upon this particular planet and is read by people oiow on earth. It gives food for reflection, for those who can reflect Ifcis.mau'e Ty men and is full jot-weaknesses. But it-gives, .even involuntarily, morals" and iexts- It; preaches to the class of creatures with nrtSfirfyftrWTifnritia souls, who liare also been blesssed with brainSi This is considering the Sunday newspaper from the point of view alone of those who inveigh against it And it came to pass that Ho went through tho cornfields on tho Sabbath day, ahd His disciples began, ns.thoy went, to pluck the ears of corn. And the Pharisees said unto Him: "Be hold, why do they on the Sabbath day that which is not lawful?" And he said unto them: Have ye never read what David did when he had need and was a-hungered, ho and thoy that were with him? How He went into tho honse of God in the days of Abiather, the high priest, and did eat of the shew-bread, which is not lawful to eat but for priests, and gave also to them which were with him? And He said unto them: The Sab bath was made for men, and not men for the Sabbath. 'Tis not the whole of life to live Nor all of death to die." Nor is the whole duty ot an Asto rian who believes in the growth of the city to content himself with acquiring real estate without making provision by building houses for those who want to live here, but can't find a honse to live in. By such means the town i made to grew: by the absence of such action the town's growth is retarded. This is a plain proposition that needs no argument. Daily, people inqure at this office and other offices for houses to live in, and not getting them have to do the best they can. We all know what that means. They get tired of being cooped up in little narrow rooms and go elsewhere.

A few days ago the writer took the night boat at Portland for Astoria, arriving there in the morning. "Well," remarked a resident, "did you come down to see the place where your wheat ought to be shipped?.' If the Columbia was open to navigation, barges loaded with golden grain could carry it to the ship's side at Portland or Astoria for a song, and what a. sight it would bo to see tho tusrs ! bringing them down to where the fleets of the world could come, find a safe anchorage and load for other ports. It will be thus some day, but public improvement? are not pushed with the energy of private enterprises. Tho Columbia, however, is becoming known to tho people of the country and appropriations !or the improve ment thoroof will no longer be re garded as a steal, therein lies our hope. J. P.
