Pilots in from the good weather outside. offing report East Third street is receiving some much needed cleaning. A marriage license was yesterday issued to Nicholas John, and Turzie Peterman. The Clatsop mill closed down yesterday- for repairs. The mill will start up again next Monday. Every available bit of wharf room was lined with sail vessels and" steam ers and the waterfront presented a lively appearance yesterday . The O. E..& N. Co.'s monthlv pay roll in Albina -is" 810,000, and" the monthly pay roll of the terminal ma chine shops is considerable over 810, 000 and is rapidly increasing. The Clatsop Development Co. has filed articles of incorporation. J. W. Conn, F.'W. Newell and Alf. Kinney, are the incorporators in the sum of 5,000, with this city as the principal place of business. The steamer Clarfi Pat Tier brought down ten tons of Judsou blasting powder yesterday. It was taken to the Lewis and Clarke mill, and from there. will be distributed along the line of railroad work. At the New York hotel in Portland last "Wednesday evening a pistol acci dentally -fell "from Frank Lester's pocket, and was discharged, the bullet striking and instantly killing Koberfc Fcrsythe, a ship carpenter, aged 40 years. A large lump of coal, as big as one's head, from the Nehnlem, attracts con siderable attention, at this office. When the road is completed to these coal deposits, we will no longer be de pendent upon the Sound and Aus tralia for our supply, but will have plenty to use and some to sell. Everyone who visits the wharves and docks has doubtless noticed that every sailor to be seen on board any of the ships in port always carries a knife, hung from his hip. Many sup pose that the sailors carry these knives for protection, but such is not the case. A reporter asked a sailor on one of the British ships, now lying in port why he and his comrades always carry the knife. "We do not carry them for protection as might be sup posed," he said in a rich English brogue, "but rather because they are handy. A knife is one of a sailor's besj; friends. Hardly an hour passes but we use one for something. WelL in case we are up in the rigging, or out on a cross piece, we cannot very well take a knife out of our pockets and open it, so we carry one that does not have to be opened. When we leaye the ship and go ashore we leave the knife behind." A word of praise is due the faithful workers -who keep up the telegraph line along the Columbia river. Oft times it is a tremendous task, and one occasioning considerable exposure and consequent danger. Though it is probably the most difficult line in the whole United States to keep up, by reason of the rough country it trav erses', -yet, it-is very seldom that the readers of The Astorian are left with out their regular morning dispatches. The storm, for instance, last Sunday morning leveled a good many wires, and interrupted telegraphic communi cation in a good many places, nota bly, to the north. Getting dispatches for an Astoria newspaper involves diffi culties unknown in offices along a linacthat runs through a more thickly settled country, or along the line of a railroad. On more than one occasion Mr. Henderson has succeeded in tak ing report when a less experienced operator would give up in despair. Instances have not been infrequent when he has had to work with a line that has had two inches of mud on top of it; being thus imbedded in Clatsop's sacred soil by some huge tree trunk or limb that had fallen upon it. In such cases it is "like pulling teeth" to make the line works PERSONAL MENTION. Charley Schube came over from Bay Center yesterday. Capt Wm. Hobson, of Port Blake ley, Wash., is visiting in the city. Ber, Mr. Short will arrive here via Canadian Pacific, on the 26th inst Capt C. W- Bich and Mrs. L. E. Sackett, were married at Vancouver, Wash., last Tuesday, and then took a trip to southern Oregon, returning home yesterday. " That Terrible North Coast. Portland, Nov. 20. Two seamen on the united, atates surveying schooner Ernest, were accidentally disowned yesterday while coming atiore in the vessel's boat which was capsized-by a squall. Their bodies have not yet been recovered. -Deputy United States marshal Davis started from Port Discovery last Sunday in a small boat, since which time nothing has been heard from bim and fears are entertained concerning his safety. An unknown schooner fouled the steamship Umatilla off Cape Flattery last night, carrying away the steamer's flagstaff. Bark Ceylon for Honolulu; barken tine George C. Perkins for Peru and bark EsTtdale for Astoria, postponed sailing this afternoon on account of the unsettled condition of the weather. - I. . Hare Both Enterprise and Capital.

Our contemporaries are supposed like all newspapers, to work for the good or the town, but ever since they were started, they have been doing meir nuie oesc or worst, unintention ally, perhaps, to give Astoria a black eye. Here where the facts are known, people generally read and laugh at their sensational efforts to make out Astoria to be headquarters for thieves and cut throats, but their items are copied and do widespread harm. People who know no better have the idea that this is a terrible place, and an unsafe city to live in and give U3 a wide berth. Thus capital and immigration are scared away, and, unwilttngly perhaps. but no less surely, these publications injure it in a very material sense. The Astobiah dislikes controversy, or local disputes, but its duty to the city whose interests and welfare it has so long labored for, justifies it in alluding briefly to this matter, in a way not intended to be unkind, nor to provoke malicious rejoinder, but as a statement of a manifest fact Take, for instance, the last case; that of Bennett The Astorian gave the exact facts: that he came here, passed a worthless check, got $320 on it, and jumped the game. That was all there was or is to it Yet in both our contemporaries we find it reported as a "mysterious dis appearance," and all sort of dark al lusions to dreadful possibilities, and in yesterday evening's Transcript it is thought that he has "had his throat cut by some murderer and thrown overboard." Now, we submit to any man who has the interests of our city at hea rt, is this business? Is it common sense? to thus surmise and create the im pression abroad that a man can't come here without danger to life and prop erty. Isn't it better for a newspaper to spend a little time and money in get ting the facts; than to rush hastily into print with such horrible sur mises? The facts were easily ascertainable. The Astorian unearthed and pub lished them yesterday, and further on gives the sequel to the affair. (Jur contemporaries, by similar exertion, could do the same. The Astorian thinks that it would be better to confine these things to the recital of facts they are bad enough sometimes without exagera- tion or uncalled for suppositions. Nothing should be suppressed; crime or violence or rascality should be showed up, but nothing should be published that can not be clearly sub stantiated, or that the facts do not justify. In saying this, The Astorian is either right or wrong, and will leave it to Astorians to decide. As to that rascal Bennett, this paper has already related his exploits. After securing 320 on a worthless check he took the morning boat, got off at Westport where he boarded the B. R. Thompson and got off at Oak Point From Oak Point he went to Portland, where he got a ticket for San Francis co. That's all there's to it. Real Estate Transfers Nov. 21. John Lace to H.

The British ship Westland, which sailed from Astoria August 11 for Liverpool with a cargo of 47,246 cases of salmon, arrived out November 18, taking just ninety-nine days for the voyage, and making one of the quick est trips on record. The Borrowdale, which left Astoria July 17, and in tended to try conclusions with the Westland, arrived out November 4, making the voyage in 110 days. They are both smart ships and their owners may well feel proud of their latest achievements. The Westland was dispatched by Meyer, Wilson & Co. Speaking of quick voyages, probably the fastest time yet made between Astoria and Queenstown was that made by the Caithloch, Captain Phil lips, in the fall of 1878. She was forty-four days to Cape Horn, forty four days thence to Cape Clear, and one day thence to Queenstown, the entire rap consuming but eighty-nine days. Oregonian, 20. Don't commit suicide!

Kaffleyea & Co, THE JOHXSOX ISQUEST. Some Additional Testimony Is Addnced. The inquest as to the cause of the death of the late John Johnson, was resumed before the coroner's jury at ten o'clock yesterday merning: Wm. Beasley was the first witness. He said: "The first time I saw deceased he was intoxicated. Saw Sam Harris and deceased come over towards the Globe saloon." His testimony corresponded with that given by Sam Harris at the first session of the jury. Said the witness: "When he started away he said he was going to Music hall and that he had paid to stay all night there. After awhile I saw some girl push him out of Music hall. I told him Iwould lock him up if he did not behave himself. He said, 'Well, I will go to bed.' Then Will and Lew Grant came up and said, 'We will take him home.' I let them take him, but he would not go, and the Grant boys left him and went into the restaurant. Lew Borohers took him to the rear of Sam Harris' saloon. That was the last I saw of the deceased. I saw Borchers go to bed at the Telephone lodging house at four in the morning. I saw Al Slade about town that night I did not see Bob Church. When deceased went into the music hall he had between one and two dol lars on him." Police officer Fred Oberg swern: testimoney was substantially the same as officer Beasley. Frank Cook was next sworn, his testimony being the same as that pre viously published. ireter Wieman, was sworn; '"The deceased came into mother's place about 1 o'clock. He stood watching parties playing poel: then he took a drink. He asked my sister to take a drink, which she did. He then asked my sister to go up stairs. I then or dered him out of the house. He then left. I never saw him at all after that time. I only saw him have 50 cents. He was drunk at the time. I know that he had a coat on, but don't think he had a vest on. There was in the saloon at the time, the foreman of the Pioneer and the Chapelle boy. The deceased was not quarrelsome while in the saloon. I do not know where he went after he left the saloon. I saw Slade going to Portland on an ocean steamer before the deceased was missed. Think it was the Ore gon. "The lastlsawofChnrohwaswhen he was in the county jail." John Saikka sworn; said: "at half past seven Saturday morning last I saw a body lying on the beach at Union town, abreast of Boakala's house, between the Washington and the old Seaside canneries. T went home and put on a coat and then went for the undertaker. I did not know the deceased." W. J. Barry being duly sworn said, "I saw the deceased the night he dis- apeared, he was intoxicated. I saw Slade after supper in town the de ceased was missed, I don't remember the date." Thos. Damant being sworn said: "The deceased left money with me many times. I have $29.30 belonging to him at the present time. The last time he was in my saloon was the day before he was missed. He has bor rowed money from me for the last six months at different time3. He gave me a bond for two lots that he had bought in Portland for money that he owed me. He borrowed money from me for gambling purposes." The jury met again at 8 p. sr. and heard further testimony, after which the inquest was adjourned to ten o'clock to-morrow morning. 11AKINK NEWS AND NOTES.

Eureka, Cal. Nov. 20. Not one of the nine sailors drowned on Humboldt bar last Saturday by the capsizing of the schooner Fidelity, have been re covered. The schooner is near the beach, opposite this city, and com pletely broken up. A reward has been offered by Lincoln lodge, of the Knights of Pythias, for the recovery of Captain Christopher son. The families of the trio of vic tims of last Saturday's accident are in this city in destitute circumstances, and citizens have taken prompt action for their relief. The beach is being patrolled by searchers for the lost sea men. Oregon i Getting Ont of That Bat. There is widely diffused throughout Oregon a very mean spirit whioh man ifesto itself in expressions of discon tent and envy wheneverit is reported that individuals or localities are grow ing in wealth and prosperity. An old fogy notion prevails that whatever is gained in property and prosperity by an individual or by a locality is wrong fully taken from other individuals or other localities, Hence' there are throughout Oregon great numbers of persons whose thoughts are mainly employed in endeavors to prevent others from making money, or in grumbling if others do make money. This notion that no person or place can make money except at the expense or some other person or place, is one of the characteristics of old Oregon. Hence an active, energetic and pros perous man is regarded as a public enemy, and a prosperous and pro gressive town, is denounced as a ren dezvous of robbers who are getting rioh off the unrequited industry of the country, Oregonian.

Captain Hinton and his navigating officer, Lieut. Barrett, of the British war steamer Amphion, have been re primanded by a court martial, at Vic toria, B. C, for the recent accident, and one year's seniority deducted from Barrett. The plans for the new steamer to be built for the O. B. & N. Co.'s Sound division are now done, and bids for the construction are being received. The Portland builder ha3 compiled the figures for which he will agree to build the steamer. The cost, includ ing the furniture, is estimated to be about $200,000, and when done, the steamer will be the finest on the coast as well as the fastest. At 6:40 o'clock Wednesday morning the first through fast mail train from Omaha arrived at the Union Pacific depot in Portland. The train con sisted of the mail car, express, one coach, a dining car and a Pullman. The time from Omaha to Portland was fifty-nine hours and twenty-four minutes, the best ever made between the two points. The mail which came in on this train was delivered at least one day earlier than if it had come under the old schedule time. A Safe Investment.
