Twenty-five of the crew of the Alba tross came on shore last evening on leave for one night As they paraded our streets they presented a fine ap pearance in their bine naval uniforms. John McGillis is acting as purser on the Telephone during the absence of Mr. Bernhard and from all the re ports received he makes just as much of a sucess as purser as he was as steward. Immediately after John Laugely was discharged yesterday the grand jury finding "not a true bill," he was rearrested by sheriff Smith on a bench warrant from Multnomah county on a charge of kidnapping sailors. The river is full of fish nets and traps, says the Aberdeen Herald, and the steamers daily carry large quali ties of salmon for the canneries down the river. This season promises to be an unusually good one for the fisher men. The British bark Zebu, which ar rived at Vancouver, B. C. from Liver pool Saturday last, has been char tered to load salmon for London, be ing the fourth vessel of the salmon fleet this year. She will take 30,000 cases.

Last evening the third performance of the Essie Tittell dramatic com pany drew only a fair house but the Irish comedy drama entitled "Colleen Bawn" was produced and gave gen eral satisfaction. "Lynwood" wilt 5e produced to-night, this being the last appearance of the company they should have a full house. Fish commissioner McDonald has authorized the fish commission steam er Albatross to spend n week or ton days at the Portland, exposition, in order that the methods of her work, and results can be examined by those directly interested. Excepting this diversion the Albatross will con tinue her work on the Pacific coast. J. G. Ross returned from the Ne- halem, whether ho went as a repre sentative of the A.. O. TJ. W., with William Kelly who was linjured by falling from a building. The injured man endured the trip very well, in a wagon fitted with an easy chair. They came over the new road and found it much better than they expected from the adverse reports which have been heard of it Gray's Harbor seems to; be enjoying a season of rapidly growing prosper ity, and the appearance of that live daily the Aberdeen Herald is one of the surest signs of the town's growing importance. The money they spend in supporting their daily paper is money invested in advertising their advantages and inducements to desir able immigration which will yield a big return on the investment The east wind which lias prevailed for a few days past, lias displaced our usually cool and invigorating atmos phere for one of sultry heat and blind ing smoke. Yet those wlio arrived yesterday morning from the interior exclaim, "What a relief io get down ! here away from the strangling smoke anu oppressive neat up rue river: xi it is a relief to breathe this air, what must it be where they came from! The Astoriajt's delayed dispatches of the 17th from the firemen's tourna ment at Tacoma, were received yester day forenoon and promptly issued as an extra. The sheets were snatched from the press as fast as printed by the awaiting crowds anxious to glean every bit of information regarding the unequaled performance of Astoria's Rescue No. 2, the champion hose team of the world. Reference to this morning's dis patches shows that the Astoria boys maintain their reputation for excel lence in whatever forln of contest they engage. 'Probably the attempt to jockey them out of anything they have fairly' won will be abandoned. The boys should have a rousing re ception when they return next Sat urday. Let them have the verv best io eat and drink, and honors showered unsparingly. The funeral of the late Monroe Spedden took place from the resi dence of Capt. J. G. Hustler yester day morning and was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. The floral offerings were very numerous and beautiful. The Rev. W. S. Short of Grace Episcopal church officiated. Hon. J. H. D. Grav, Theo. Bracker, Sain Harris, H. P. Hausra, F. D. Winton and CL R. Thomson acted as pall bearers. It is reported" that the Pacific Coast Steamship company will build a steam ship to take the place of the Ancon, wrecked at Loring. Regarding the place of construction, the time-of com mencing work, or her lines, there is nothing certain. It is the intention of building a good sized boat of light draft, and one in every respect suit able for the Alaskan trade. She will have accommodations for 300 cabin passengers, and staterooms to accom modate not more than two persons. She will be a propter, and will be ready for use nextseason, Capt. W. H. Whitconib, of the Cos- cades brought down the boss tow yes terday afternoon three barges with 1,200 tons of rock, and two barges of 600 cords of brush for the jetty. The tow occupied a space of 200x321 feet. He started from the quarry, eighteen miles above the mouth of the Willam ette, at 2:40 Tuesday afternoon with the three barges of rock; at 1 o'clock yesieruay morning ne pioueu up tne two barges oT brush at the mouth of the Willamette, and arrived here at 235 yesterday afternoon, having been Hindered some by the dense smoke.

Astoria Boys Don't Eun to a Tight- Neither Do They Eun from a Tight. Tom Linville Mesmerized His Man. Graphic Account of Interesting Oontests Correct Time Made by Different Teams. Tacoha. W. T., Sept. 18. Tom. Linville was arrested this evening, charged with assault and battery. Bail in the sum of $1,000 was prompt ly furnished. His case comes up this evening. He will not probably be more than fined. The judges will probably give a de cision this evening on the Astoria hose team's claims to first money, $1,000, in the wet test. Three judges out of five will decide in favor of the Astoria team, Tacoma. W. T., Sept. 18. It is stifling hot and dusty. The second day of the tournament is more satis factory, chief Rainy, of the Tacoma department, having finally discovered that he is not responsible for any mis takes in the creation of the universe. The disagreement in the matter of the wet test contest is still undecided, though it will probably be given to the Astoria's. A majority of the judges favor giving onr boys the race and money. This morning the wet test was con cluded. Tacoma made it in 41 sec onds. For the other teams, no time was allowed. The dry test race began at 1:30 p. M. It was like a Turkish bath on the track, with clouds of dust. Astoria ran eleventh; Corvallis came first, time SG 2-5. Nanaimo. 38 1-5. Tacoma No. 2, 34 3-5. Tacoma No. 1, 37 9-10. Walla Walla, no time; nozzle not screwed up. Seattle, no time. This pleased the Tacoma folks immensely. East Portland, the favorites here, made it in 32 2-5. Victoria, 33 1-5. New Westminster. 34 2-5. Vancouver, B. C, 29 910. By this time it was 430 r. M aud the EXCITEMENT WAS INTENSE. Vancouver made the run to time coupling in 28: judges allowed 29 9-10. Astorians for the first time since coming here found that Tacoma would bet In a few minutes a considerable amount was up, Astorians betting our team would beat the time allowed Vancouver. The Astoria team made a graud run, the best run yet made: stop watches marked 25 seconds when the coupling dropped. When the time was announced the Astoria team was credited with 31 4-C. The crowd cheered for Vancouver aud jeered at the Astorians. Our boys took it quietly and were waiting for the judges to come and measure the hose as usual when the captain of the Seat tle team who has been beefing all the time, commenced chewing and CHARdlN'a FRAUD On the part of the Astoria team though in the middle of the race. Don't know just how it began, but in a minute there was the liviliest kind of a fight. A big policeman grabbed Barry: biff went barry's fist. Not knowing it was a policeman till after the blow was struck. Two more policemen raised their clubs and went after Barry. Dave Campbell jumped in and he and Barry stood the crowd off. Pete Grant and Tom Linville were then jumped by half a dozeh fellows. IiIN-VrLLE HIT ONE And put him to sleep. Grant squared off and some TWENTY ASTORIANS RUSHED IN And made some appropriate remarks which quelled the riot. The captain of the Seattle team wisely -skipped off. It was a lively time 3oon over, and peace restored. The Astoria boys acted on the defensive right through; they were not running to the fight nor from it. There is a tough crowd here and poorly managed. The police ostensibly prohibit gambling, etc., yet all sorts or games are run wide open on the principal thoroughfares. Tacoma (old town) hose team was last to run, time 34 2-5. This closed the day's proceedings. Vancouver, B. C. got first money, 8400; Astoria second moneys $200. This evening will be devoted to dis cussion of topics.. To-morrow will bo , run the New York race, (association championship) and speed race. For to-morrow's programme the Astori ans are in good trim. Their losing first money in to day's race has en couraged other teams who will proba bly muster up courage .enough to morrow to bet thirty or forty cents op their ability. The races will be finished Friday, the. prizes awarded, and business con cluded. The Astoria delegation will roturn Saturday next.

It is reported that the sales of tho "California Remedy," Joy's Vegetablo Sarsaparilla, have grown with la a few months till they are now really sensational. Tho way tho famo of this production has spread la simply marvelous. Six months ago it was unknown. To-day I: is all over tho country. It la authoritatively ntated that they have been actually giving lfc away in San Francisco to people afflicted with dyspepsia, sick headaches, indigestion and liver troubles, not to bo paid for unless it cured. Such practical test3 are bo startllngly convincing as to be almost sensational. It la stated that two of the active principles of tho new remedy belong to the vegetable kingdom of California and are so well known to us all under common names that it would surprlso us if told them. But wo are not surprised at anything Californlan, and this recent discov ery of the new medicinal virtues of its vegeta ble kingdom U but another instance of tho astonishing possibilities of a soil and climate like ours. All Like the Captain. A strange peculiarity about the. clipper ship Henry Failing, Captain Merriman, loading at Philadelphia with oil for Japan, is that none of her sailors, when once joined to her crew, ever care to leave. The chief officer, now a man of 28 years, joined her when a mere lad. She was the first vessel he was ever in, and he has remained there ever since. This is an incident prob ably unprecedented in the annals of shipping. Captain Merriman has never had any trouble with his crews, although he has frequently shipped notorious seamen despite the fact of having previously been warned of their dangerous character. A Scrap orrnper Saves Her Life It was just an ordinary scrap of wrap ping paper, but it saved her life. She was in the last stages of consumption, told by physicians that she was incura ble and could live only a short time; she weighed les than seventy pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper sue read of Dr. King's New Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it helped her, she bought a larger bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew better fast, continued its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing 140 pounds.
