Mttltlu'W I. Di-gily, Jiiiln i,l the Uniui
HUUm district court, imlitit'l. Hii iIkhIIi
occurred t 7:45 o'clock jrenlerday morn
ing Hi hit room a in The Hill. lie wha
one of Oregon 'i piuneeni, and m one ut
the proiiilnmit men of the 1'iiciflc cot.
Ju'lu Deady had Imtn in poor health
and fuduully failinK for more than two
yearn, but had been able to attend to
buhinetm till within a iliort, time. He
sat in the United State tlintrict court for
the 1M time on March 0. He wu tak
en nick firnt in the fall of 1H89, when he
wu confined t hii bed for over month.
It teemed to be a general breaking down
phyaically, and he gradually failed from
that time.
Judge Deady would have Heen seventy
ycara of age anil entitled to retire on full
pay on the 12th of May, 18H4. Hit
frk'ti'li. fearing that he niiitht lecouie
phyaicttlly incapable of attending lo bus
invas lirfore that time, avcuted the paxa
uge of an a.t by Cungteat allowing him
to retire at any time aftur March 4, ls'.i:i.
He had not innde up hii mind to retire,
and continued to hold court when able.
The appoiniliiitiit of Judge (iilbert re
lieved him of a large amount of werk,
and Judge Gilbert ha uImu amiHted liini,
when be was unable to get down to the
courthouse, by attending to humneHg for
him. He thua bad tmich morn leixure
than ukuhI of lute, and H'iit much time
in reading, and enjoyed nuinv pleariant
davt in hit roinfortuble chamber. He
aliH derived much pleasure from the vio
ita of frieni' who made it a point to call
at tiia chamtiert for a abort vieit aluioet
daily. On returning home from holding
court on the Uth inat., he waa taken
eeriourily ill, and although teveral timet
improving to that hi" IriemU imagined
that he would be able to get out again.
he continued to fail, and on Tueaday it
became evident that the end was ap
proaching. 1118 1.1 FR AND RKRVIC'E.
In the coiirno of it a able review of this
eminent jurat's life the Orcgonian saya:
" It would hardly be pos'iible to name
who haa had ao .prominent a part in the
making of Oregon ae Matthew P. Peady.
To the observer of our historic growth
his hand has been apparent in the grad
ual rise of the whole framewort of this
structure that we call the stute No oth
er man has so impressed himself upon Its
constitution, its legislation, its jurispru
dence ; no other single hand or mind has
been so constructive in that domain of
institutional law and custom in which a
state roots its organic life.
His residence in Oregon covered the
space of forty-three and one-lmlf years.
The territorial government had gone into
operation a few months before his arriv
al. The next year (1850) be was elected
to the bouse of representatives of the
territory from Yamhill county, and after
wards to the territorial council, of which
he became president. In March, 1S53,
he was made one of the United States
judges for the territory, and as his dis
trict was i-outliorn Oregon he lived in
the Unipqtm volley a nuniht-r of years.
Klected to the convention called to frame
a constitution lor tne suite in is.u, ne
became president of that body, and had
a very largo share in framing the funda
mental law which has senVd us without
change to thiB day. F.arly in isr!, upon
the admission of the state, he was ap
pointed United States district judge.
The codes of Oregon, nearly in their still
existing forms, were written mainly by
him, and bis opinions, delivered from
the bench, covering an endless variety
of topics, and elaborated with great care,
are very voluminous. He wrote, besides,
during many years, very largely for
newspapers, magazines and reviews, j
and published many lectures on various
topics.
Shoo'.ine at Portland.
Portland, Or., March 2ti. Charles H.
Gove, real estato agent, shot and seri
ously wounded Courad J. Smith, book
keeper, last evening, and then sent a
bullet crashing through his own brain.
The tragedy occurred about C :40 o'clock,
at the intersection of Third and Alder
streets. Four shots were fired. Smith
w as hurried to Surgeon Young's oflice,
where his single wound in the body
a 1 a.
was examined, ana pronounceo. noi
necessarily fatal, and Gove's remains
to the morgue.
From the statements of eye-witnesses
of the shooting, and they are usually
conflicting in detail, it appears that
Gove and Smith had walked together to
the northeast corner of Third and Alder
streets. In front of the Model reBtau
rant they stopped and held a brief con
vernation, and then Gove waa seen
to auddenly thrust hit right hand
behind him, underneath bit coat.
At be did to, Smith started to run
across Third street, and he had Just
reached the car track when Gove, who;
was slowly following bim, began firing.
Three thoti were aimed at the fleeing
man, but the only third one took eflect.
It struck him in the buck below the right
shoulder, and the shock staggered him.
Evidently believing that lie had carried
out his intention to kill, Gove placed the
muzzle of the weapon in hit right ear,
pulled the trigger and fell in a heap.
I leal h must have been instantaneous
for when picked up a few seconds later
the unfortunate man waa lifeless.
Charles II. Gove wat real estate
agent, with an oflice at V.2 First
street, corner of Alder. He wat married
to hit widow, whose maiden name was
Alice Clausen, about ten years ago.
She wat then a school teacher, and up
to last June had been employed in the
public schools of this city.
All the evidences goes to show that
the tragedy of Saturday wat the act of
n insane man, whose victim and widow
are objects of sympathy rathei than of
of reprobation. Further evidence may
give the case another aspect, but this
seems the common-sense view of it at
present .
Pokti.ano, Or. March 27. Charles II.
Gove's aim was too true. His intention
to kill the man he imagined had wronged
him and then commit suicide haa lieen j
carried out. His body is now Iving at I feated wilt not control appointments un
bis lute home prepared for the interment der me. In the state where there is not
that w ill take plai-e this morning. Smith a democratic senator and the districts
lingered until 2:10 this morning, and j are represented by republicans in con-
was only kept alive that long by the a.l- j
ministration of powerful stimulants.
When Smith was shot Saturday even
ing, lr. Youni:, the surgeon who attend-
ed liitn. expressed a hoe of his patient's i
recovery. The ball which entered his
back passed clear through the body but
it was thought possible that no vital organ
was touched and in this event there was
a good chance for recovery . Yejterday
rooming he was in good spirits and his
condition was very hopeful. He com
plained frequently of a pain in the ab
dominal region, but no importance was
attached to thiB. However, at about 5
o'clock he went into a state of collapse.
The attendanta summoned Pr. Young,
who at once saw that Smith was dying.
He began administering injections of
strychnine, and in this way the patient
was kept alive. Dr. Y'oung expressed
an opinion that the stomach had been
penetrated and this was the direct cause
of the fatal result.
The attendanta would not permit
Smith to converse before he became
unconscious, and no statement further
than that made on the evening of the
sliooting could be obtained.
Editor ti. Beguter.
Vancoovsr, Wash., March 25. About
11 o'clock, smarting by reason of the
publication of a scathing article deroga
tory to bis character, Hon. John D.
Geoghgan proceeded to the office of the
Vancouver Independent and had a little
scrapping match with the editor. Mr.
Geogbgean is register of the land otfice
at that place. Although a stanch repub
lican, Bince the 4th of March he has
teen giving the land notices to the dem
csiratic papers for publication, excep
tions to which were taken by the In
dependent, and an article was pub
lished in this week's issue denouncing
John E. Geoghegan and charging him
with sinister motives in thus catering to
the democratic press. Geoghegan ob
jected to any imputation on his charac
ter or the honesty of bis motives in the
matter, saying he believed it right to
give the publication to the papers that
were in harmony with the administra
tion, and that he is only holding forth
by the grace of God and the forcbearance
of Grover Cleveland. Geoghegan ac
cordingly went to the newspaper office,
called the attention of the editor to the
article, denounced it as a falsehood, and
proceed to twist the scribe's nose. An
active skirmish ensued, in which nei
ther party was seriously injured.
They Admitted Chinese.
Portland, March 22. Acting Collec
tor of Customs L. A. Pike of Portland
has suspended deputies Cardinell and
Armstrong for disobeying orders in
landing Chinese. Of this matter Mr.
Pike says: Several das ago Mr. Loian,
collector of the port, loft for San Fran
cisco. Before be went away I had a
talk with hira about the landing of
Chinese. I said to him that the Haytian
Republican was soon to come in, and
that she bad a lot ot Chinamen aboard,
who, I supposed, carried certificates.
Y'etl did not like the idea of passing
npon these certificates, but preferred, if
landed at all, the Chinese should pass
through the courtti. "Mr. Lotan con
curred with me, and said I should see
that such a course was followed. After
he went away and before the Haytian
Republic arrived, I called Deputy Col
Wtnr Cardinell into mv office and in
structed him not to recognize any of the
certificates that might be presented,
but to let the Chinamen be subject to
habeas corpus proceeding.
"After listening to what I had to say,
Mr. Cardinell said his instructions had
always been to land the Chinese when-
ever they
present proper certificates,
and that he would do so in this case.
Yet when I left him, J had no idea that
he would utterly disregard what I bad
said.
"The II ay ti an Republic arrived last
Thursday evening at 6 o'clock, and an
hour later the master secured his entry
papers. Inspector Armstrong was on
duty with Deputy Cardinell, and at 10
o'clock Saturday night the Chinamen
were landed and immediately scattered."
"When I came down to the office the
following morning, Mr. Cardinell re
ported what be had done. The certifi
cates appeared to have been all right,
but as Mr. Cardinell has diaobeyed my
instructions I promptly suspended him
and Inspector Armstrong. It waa my
duty to suspend them." .
This case will be thoroughly looked
into by the government.
Foirth Claal Foitmaitari.
Wahhixoton, March 28 Fourth As
sistant Postmaster-General Maxwell to
dar indicated the line of policy which
will govern him in hit selection of about
60,000 fourth-class postmasters this
year. He said:
"In the first place I don't propose to
permit unsuccessful politicians to dictate
annointments. hx-congressmen and
men who ran for congress and were de-
(tress, tl.e state, district or county demo-
cratic committees will be asked to make
recommendations for postmasters. We
want to deal with live democrats, men
of influence, and not worn-out politicians.
Men and women who held poetofBces
four years ago will net be appointed if
new blood cap be found. The ""o ex"
rule will ap&or the selection of fourth
class postmaster; Of course, if we can
not get democrats who have not held of
fice to accept them, we will reinstate old
postmasters rather than appoint repub
licans to hold offices. We are now
ready for business and the changes will
be made as rapidly as possible."
Farmar Burnt To Death.
Daytos, Or., March 27. George Gib
bons, a farmer well-known and highly
respected, living about three miles north
east of this place, was burned to death in
his residence last night. With his broth
er Daniel he had been butchering some
distance from his residence. Returning,
he noticed, when some distance from his
home, that the house was in flames.
Thinking that his family wasin the build
ing he entered through the front door.
As the door opened the flames burst out
and he apparently fell. His brother
burst in a window thinking that some
thing could be done to rescue him, but
the heat was so intense that he was bad
ly burned and could do nothing. Of the
brave, honest, true-hearted man that
entered his doomed bouse bent on sav
ing bis loved ones, nothing remained but
the charred and blackened trunk, which
was recovered about midnight. The
family had left the house early in the
evening and was at the residence of the
father of the deceased near by.
. . The Last Oeaaral.
Skawanke, TennMarch 28. General
E. Kirby Smith, professor of mathema
tics in the University of the South since
the war, died here this afternoon. For
two years his health had been declining.
Two weeks ago he was taken worse in
New Orleans and congestion of the lungs,
which followed, carried bim off. Once
or twice during temporary periods of
semi-consciousness of the past two days,
his mind wandered through the past
scenes and he ordered batteries to come
up. General Smith was born at St.
Augustine, Fla., March 16,1825. With
him closes the list of full generals on
both sides during the late wnr. He
came from an illustrious family of
soldiers that participated with distinc
tion in every war waged in this country
since the old French war.
8eeking Office.
Washington, March 27. John Myers,
of Portland, arrived in Washington
today. He is a candidate for his old
place as marshall of Oregon. He thinks
that as he only Berved two years, his
having been an ex-office-holder will '
make no difference. Editor Flagg, of
Salem, who wants to be register of the
Oregon City land office, is also in Wash
ington. There are 11 democratic patriots from
Oregon in Washington now, either seek
ing office for themselves or for their
friends, but mostly for themselves.
A Famoni Bio Hon Stolen.
London, March 28. A great sensation
has been caused in sporting circles by
the inexplicable disappearance of the
racer and winner of the Waterloo cup,
Fullcrton. The horse was taken from
the stable of Colonel North at Elthanx
Saturday.
