THE MORNING OEBGONIAN, SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1900. IN THE SEVERAL COURTS 'SUIT FOR DAMAGES AGAINST A TO"WING COMPANY. Deckhand Demands ?1C,000 for Broken Leg; Severn! Decisions to Be Rendered Today. Humphrey H. Smith yesterday filed an action against the "Willamette &. Colum bia River Towing Company In the State Circuit Court for $15,000 damages on ac count of his leg being broken, bruised and crushed while he was engaged as a deckhand on the steamboat Maria, be longing to the defendant. The plaintiff avers that he is permanently crippled as the result of the accident. He alleges that on April 18, 1S99, while the defendant and its employes were at tempting to land or fasten the steamer Maria to some plies In the Cowlitz River, that one of the defendant's servants was ashore with one end of the rope for the purpose of securing the same to the piles, and the plaintiff was on the steamer giv ing him rope or slack. That when the man on shore shouted "fast," the plain tiff started to haul In the rope or slack, when he observed a snag in the river be tween the boat and the .shore, and see ing the rope would he caught on the snag, and that by reason of the boat float ing down stream he would be unable to hold the same, hi) fastened the rope by a catch and a half to a bit fastened to the bow of the boat. Smith asserts that because of the blowing of the wind, the current in the river, and the failure of the pilot, Edward C. Loomls, properly to hold the boat. up stream, the steamer was floating down stream, and produced a great pressure, and caused the rope to slip in the bit. The plaintiff states that he stepped or reached backward to get more rope from a. coll near by to fasten around the bit, when the steamer gave a sudden surge backward, caused by the failure of the pilot to hold the boat up stream, and caused the rope to get fastened and wrapped around plaintiffs leg. Smith avers that he shouted to Loom is three or four times to turn the "boat ahead, that his leg was in the rope, and Loomis failed to do so. He charges that Loomls Is incompetent as a pilot, and that his negligence resulted In the injuries men tioned. The plaintiff says he paid $100 for medical treatment, and lost time amount ing to $600. McGinn & McGinn are his at torneys. Probate Matters. Henrietta E. Failing, executrix of the estate of Henry Failing, deceased, peti tioned for authority to sell 1S9S shares of stork in the First National Bank at private sale, which she states It is neces sary to do so as to distribute the estate.

Mr. Glltner, for the prose cution, made an argument to the Jury, stating that Muse admitted taking the money. A. King "Wilson, for the defense, argued that it was only a case of a loan or overdraft, for which the Title Guar antee & Trust Company had the defend ant's note, sent to it by Muse, and ho also let the Jury know that the company was secured by a bond, and will not lose anything. The note was offered in evidence at the trial, and also a letter from Muse, sent from Colorado, in which he admitted having taken the $G20. It was the inten tion to send these two papers into the Juryroom, "but when the Jury retired they could not be found, having been spirited away. They were given to the official re porter, with other exhibits, and what be came of them Is a mystery. No one pres- j ent vouchsafed any explanation. At 5,J o'clock the Jury came in for instructions, J asking if a verdict of guilty of simple ' larceny could be returned. Judge George !

The two comedians, Kunkel and Henderson, are at their best In "La Mascotte," and their abounding good spirits are continuously overflowing to the audience. The music is bright and catchy, and all the children who attend the theater this afternoon are sure to be singing and whistling it till they go again and hear another opera. A number of box parties have been ar ranged for tonight, and there is every prospect that a fashionable as we'll as a large audience will enjoy the opera. PERSONAL MENTION. C. B.

Ex-Senator Phlletus Sawyer, of Wiscon sin, who died at Oshkosh March 29, was born at Rutland, VL, September 22, 1S16. At the age of 17 he borrowed $100 fromItfs eldest brother, Chauncey, at Crown Point, N. Y., and bought from his father his time until he should attain his majority. He married in 1841, and in 1845 came West. His ship of passage was a raft of logs, upon which he floated down a stream trlb. utary to the Ohio. Down the Ohio his raft proceeded to Cairo, 111., where he sold his logs. He ascended the Mississippi to St. Louis, and from thence came on to Ottawa, 111. He finally made his way to Wisconsin, locating on a farm of 520 acres at Rosendale, Fond du Lac County. In the fall of 1846 he went back to New York State for his family, returning to Wisconsin in the spring of 1S47. He began his Western life In a log cabin, with one room, 14x16 feet. He removed to Oskosh. in 1549, and January L 1850, "he embarked there in the saw mill business, which eventually made him a millionaire. He was a most kindly and generous man, delighting in relieving his less fortunate fellows. Besides this, he annually gave away many thousands of dollars to publlo benefactions. Among his pet projects was the endowment of a college la West Vir ginia, for the education of colored people. James G. Blaine, in his work, "Twenty Years of Congress," VoL H, page 123, re fers to Wisconsin's "Grand Old Man," as he was termed, with whom he was asso ciated during Mr. Sawyer's 10 years' serv ice In the House of Representatives, In these words: "Phlletus Savwer was a Tiatlvo nf Vor. mont, who, when a young man, emigrated to Wisconsin. Without early advantages either of education or fortune, he was in the best sense of the phrase a self-made man. He engaged In the busi ness of lumbering, and by sagacity had acquired wealth. It Is easy to supply superlatives, but Mr. Sawyer, In modest phrase, deserves to be ranked among the best of men honest, Industrious, generous, true to every tie and to every obligation of life. He remained for 10 years in the House, with constantly increasing in fluence, and was afterward promoted to the Senate." Phlletus Sawyer served Wisconsin as a Representative five times, retiring to pri vate life at the close of the Forty-third Congress, March. 1875. He was connected with many Important committees. He was a stalwart Republican, and a far-sighted man. It was formerly the boast of, his constituents that he had "never made a speech nor lost a bill." In January. 1881, Mr. Sawyer was elected by the Legisla ture of Wisconsin to the United States Senate as the successor of Senator Angus Cameron. On account of the death of Matt H. Carpenter, Mr. Sawyer had no col league to Introduce him. This office was performed by Senator Dan W. "Voorhees. of Indiana. At the end of his term. In 18S7, Mr. Sawyer was re-elected. His 12 years in the Senate were extemporaneous with the four years In which President Garfield and President Arthur occupied the White House, the first term of President Cleve land and the full term of President Harri son. Shortly after beginning his first term in the Senate Mr. Sawyer was made chairman of the committee on civil service reform and second on the committee on postofflces and post-roads. During the last six years of his term he was chairman of this committee and had to pass upon all postofflce appointments. For eight years he was a member of the committee on pensions, and during four years he was chairman of the committee on rail roads. Senator Sawyer's wife died In 1SSS. He leaves surviving him, of his Immediate family, his son. Edgar P. Sawyer, of Osh. kosh, Wis., and two daughters, Mrs. How ard Causon White, of Syracuse. N. Y.r and Mrs. William O. Goodman, of Chica go. All his brothers and sisters are dead. He .leaves two nephews fcn the Pacific Coast. Lewis E. Sawyer, of San Francis co, and Charles E. Sawyer, of Portland. a Grocery Store Robbed. The McGowan grocery store on the southwest corner of East Twelfth and East Ash streets, was robbed Thursday night Yesterday morning as the store was opened the rear door was found open, and then on Investigation rt was dis covered that the store had been entered. The money till was gone. It had been pried loose from the counter. A. boiled ham and some canned goods also' were taken. A sack of flour had been emptied in a box and used to carry the articles In. Thes were the only articles missing, but there may have been others. The money till contained about $5 in silver. Shortly before noon yesterday it was discovered In a vacant lot on East Tenth between East Ash and East Ankeny streets, by a woman living near by. Abread ticket left in the till showed where It belonged, and the till was sent to the store. Two men were seen near where the till was found at an early hour yesterday morn ing. The store was entered through tha door facing on East Ash street, the door having been opened with a key and was not forced. This Is about the fourth tme this store has been Tobbed. day. He arrived from PORTLAND FLEET FASTEST RETURNS OF FIRST QUARTER CEREAL YEAR. ARE ALL IN. OF Practical Demonstration of. Advan tages ot a. Fresh-Water Harbor Marine Notes. The returns are all In for the outward bound fleet from Pacific Coast ports for the first quarter of the 1S99-1S00 cereal year, and, as usual, the Portland ships have made a much better showing than was made by the ships from either the Sound or San Francisco. Of the July fleet from Portland, the Laomene, in 117 days, and the Dunreggan, in 158 days, held the record for fastest and slowest passages For the same month from San Francisco, the Roanoke made the run in 10S days, the best passage of the seasoiMrom San Fran cisco, while the Mcel Elllan was 170 days, or nearly two weeks longer than the longest passage from Portland. Puget Sound had but one ship for Europe in July, the Puritan, which was 142 days on the way. In August, the Semantha, from Portland, made the season's record for the Coast, by going to Queenstown in 101 days, while the Bothwcll had the long-passage record for the month in 141 days. The August fleet from San Francisco made a very poor showing, the best pas sage of the Centeslma, in 132 days, being over a month longer than the best pas sage from Portland, while the record for slow passages for the month was tied by the Agnes Oswald, Cypromene and Mario, In 156 days. .Puget Sound dispatched no round-the-Horn ships in August. Of the September ships, Portland again leads, with the Muskoka, in 112 days, compared with the Jacques, in 117 days from San Francisco, while the slowest passage from Portland was made by the Sofala, In 155 days, compared with the Crompton's 176 day passage from San Francisco. The Arracan, which was the only vessel Ball ing from Puget Sound, wa9 155 days on passage. If Portland can equal the record made for the first quarter throughout the sea son, our fresh-water harbor will become more attractive than ever to shipowners and masters. A. P. A.'S FLAGSHIP. Steamer KvichahTwill Head the List of Steamer. The largest metal steamship ever built in the Northwest Is nearing completion at Wolff & Zwlcker's yard. In this city, and will be launched next Wednesday. The vessel, which bears the melodious name Kvlchak, registers about 610 tons net, and 1063 tons gross, and Is the largest steam er In the fleet of the Alaska Packers' As sociation. This company has the greatest number of vessels owned by any com pany on the Pacific Coast, although their value Is perhaps not as great as that of the fleets of -some of the big steamship lines. Included In the list of vessels In the 1900 fleet of the big company are no less than 16 flne American ships and barks which were formerly In the round-th'e-Horn trade. Some of these vessels are getting along In years, but a number of them are still In excellent condition, and, as most of them were bought at bargain prices when ship property was at rock bottom all over the Coast, the fleet as a whole Is undoubtedly worth a good deal more money than It has cost. In addition to Kvlchak. which will be the flagship of the fleet, the company owns the following vessels: Name. Tons, Name. Tons. F. S.

The British ship Isle of Arran will clear this morning for Queenstown or Fal mouth for orders with 112,655 bushels of wheat, valued at $63,000. Like that of the Donna Francisco, which cleared a few days ago, the clearance of the Isle of Arran calls attention to the fact that wheat is still a long ways from being near the bottom prices struck .about five years ago. The Isle of Arran cleared Portland In November ISSl.wl "thM bushels of wheat, valued at 5,(XXX from 111,161 From this It will be seen that while she carries but 1500 bushels more this trip, the valuation Is $18,000 higher than that of the cargo taken away five years ago. The vessel was dispatched by the Portland Grain Company, and was hustled through with a rapidity which would have been creditable even In the busiest part of the season. She will leave down the river tomorrow morning, and, barring any un foreseen delay, will be back on the high seas again In about three weeks after coming In. "WRECK OF TITO TERESA.

Drake and his asso ciates purpose to break up the wreck for the metal In It Mr. Drake and his associates want to bring the metal into this country duty free. Mr. Drake's lawyers asked the Treasury Department If this could be done. In reply counsel for the Treasury Department wrote: "The Spanish war vessel was not the property of the United States at the time she was originally wrecked, but was the property of the Spanish Government and as the United States Government has abandoned the vessel on Cat Island, Its ownership changed from the United. States to private citizens. Therefore the wrecked material, upon its Importation to the United States, would be dutiable." Mr. Drake and his partners believe there would be profit In the Importation of the old metal from the wreck if admitted free of duty, but not otherwise. THEI FORECASTLE HABIT. Yoang 3tr. Bentley of Pendleton, Has Remarkable Experience at Sea. Young Mr. Bentley, of Pendleton, who stirred up the Consular Departments of two nations by shipping bofore the mast on the bark Sofala from Portland, Is back on the banks of the Umatilla, and la giving evidence of having acquired at least one of the traits of the men in the fore castle. A Pendleton paper, in a long article regarding his voyage, says: "Bentley fell from tha royal yard one day 80 feet and broke his ankle. He re ceived absolutely no surgical attention, the master of the ship giving him a dose of castor oil and a few curses, and young Bentley himself as best he could bandag ing the broken limb and suffering for two weeks. The ankle has partly healed, but will always be larger than normal." If young Mr. Bentley fell SO feat and lived to tell about It, he Is about the toughest sailor that ever happened. Usu ally when a sailor takes a tumble from that height the castor oil and the curses are saved for the next man, and the tumbler himself Is tied up In a canvas suit and sent over the roll. If Bentley is not romancing, he is a lucky young man. Sailing: Coasters Race. TACOMA, March 30. After one of the most exciting races In the history of the Pacific Coast, the bark Gatherer beat the ship Snow and Burgess to Cape Flattery, and, passing a line to the tug Tacoma, the only tug in sight, the Gatherer arrived In Tacoma early yesterday afternoon. The two shlp3 left San Franclscp on the same tide March 14, bound for Puget Sound, the Gatherer for Tacoma to load coal, and the Snow and Burgess to Port Blakeley for lumber. During the 14 days from San Francisco to Cape Flattery, the two ships were In sight of each other every day. Favorable winds coming up Saturday, the Gatherer made more than 200 miles a day from that time until she was picked up. Marine Notes. "Work Is rapidly progressing on the new vessel that Is under construction at Marshfield, and the frame for another craft to follow her is also under prepara tion. The tug Resolute, a relic of the old Oregon Development days on Taqulna Bay, was sold on the Sound a few days ago to the Puget Sound Towing Company for $30,000, and will be used for towing lgos on the Sound. The March grain fleet will be finished off by the British ship Poseidon, which will complete herv cargo this morning, making a total of eight European car goes for the month. Mall advices from Honolulu yesterday stated that the British bark Forthbank would sail for Portland about the 24th. The Asplce was reported to have left earlier, but Honolulu papers up to the 20th have no mention of her departure, Domestic and Korclfrn Ports. ASTORIA, March 20. Arrived Steamer "W. H.
