OFrlCIAL CITY PAPER.
ALBANY. OKEGOX, APRIL 27, 1877.
Rritsk Fikk On Monday afternoon
Marshal Wcstfall arrested a fellow named
Frank VTey man. for disturbing tlie peace.
"Wevman fought like a fury, and the Mar
shall experienced no little trouble in get
ting him into the calaboose, as various
scratches on hands and face attested.
About half past seven o'clock in the even
ing the alarm of "fire," "-fire," brought
out the Fire Department in a hurry. The
fire was found to proceed from the cala
boose, in the same lot with the City Hall
and One's house, and the fellow Weyman
who had been incarcerated but a few min
utes before was yelling most lustily. The
smoke came pouring out cf the grated win
dows of the prison in dense masses, indi
cating from the smell the burning of old
straw. The Marshal not being handy to
unlock tlie door, it was forced open, when
out cune the prisoner fighting and yelling.
After considerable diflicnlty he was secured.
when it. was found that both of his hands
were burned, one of them badly. ; Fighting
as he went he was carried to Dr. Plum
trier's drug store, where he had to be chlo
roformed to enable, thenv, to. bindUp his
burned hands. Still under tlie influence of
chloroform, he was placed in a blanket.
taken to the county jail and placed in one
of the cells for the night. The prisoner
seemed to be in a terrible state ot excite
ment threatening to kill himself and meas
ures had to be taken to keep him from at
tempting suicide. When placed in the cal
aboose we believe he had been searched,
but he succeeded in obtaining matches which
he used in setting fire to his bed. When
the cell commenced filling with smoke and
be began to fear be would smother before
aid would arrive, lie was diligent in bis
j efforts to extinguish the fire be hjtd started.
In this endeavor burning his light hand
' severely and his lett hand somewhat. lie
was examined on Tuesday before the Re-
corder, found guilty of assaulting an officer
and fined $10 and costs, and further was
held to bail in $300 to answer tihe charge
of arson preferred against him.
A Genuine Surprise. On! Tuesday
evehing la-st Rev. II. W. Stratton and wife,
who had been making pastoral visits, re
turned to their residence to find it. filled to
overflowing with acquaintances and friends,
who bad thus unexpectedly called to make
Bro. Stratton a farewell visit. Soon every
available space in the house was crowded
and the yard pretty well filled. It was a
very pleasant occasion indeed, the Rever
end geutlem .in being visibly effected by this
testimonial of the love and esteem in which
he U held by bis congregation and friends.
Before the party broke up the Albany
Brass Band made itsappearar.ee and played
several beautiful airs in lront of the dwell
ing, thus adding to the interest and pleas
ure of the- occasion. After taking their
leave, Vpurse was found under the pillow
of the Reverend gentleman's bed, contain
ing still further evidence of tlie kind wishes
of friends. Bro. Stratton left 'Albany for
the East carrying with' him the warmest
wishes ot the w hole community for a safe
ands pleasant journey and an early return.
Prof. BHD's Weiti.no School. Prof.
F. II. Reid rendered his last instructions in
a course of twelve lessons at the Central
school-house, cm Tuesday evening last, hav
ing present to witness the closing exercises
and note the improvements of his class, a
full house, showing a high appreciation of
him as an instructor in penmanship. The
Prof, had a large class hi attetidar.ee,
twenty-two in nunilicr, and it is a high
compliment to ids skill as an instructor in
the Spencerian system of penmanship, to
note the rapid progress cf his class, having
an opportunity to examine a specimen of
eachindivldtial tliereof. written both at the
beginning and ending of the term. Mrs.
Ada Mansfield was awarded the prize for
the best penmanship, and Miss Ella Miller
for the greatest improvement during the
term, both at this time showing a high de
gree of perfection. Prof. Reid commenced
his second course of twelve lessons on
Wednesday evening last at the same place,
and is U-achiug two private day classes, be
sides, of twelve and thirteen members re
spectively. The mode of instruction is en
tirely different from the nwal jnethod, be
ing upon the principle that the.nfrt i purely
mental and mechanical. The principles of
the Spencerian system are placed upon the
black-board, and instwctioTis given alone,
from those, fixing them upon the mind and,
requiring tlie student rewrite from a men
tal or vision-try copy-'lwstead .ot. '.h-r3Sljr.
raade upon paper. From the universal
success of the Professor he has evidently
struck upon the only true method, and
those desiring instructions in the art would
do well to avail themselves of an early op
portunity. - --' V
Steamer Pencil askd. Bast Tuesday
the City Council passed an ordinance au
thorizing the committee on Fire and Water
to purchase "the steam fire engine belonging
to Linn Engine Co., No. 2. of this city,
and appropriating money sufficient to pay
down a little over half the value or cost of
said feteatner, the balance to be paid next
year. There was a full Council, with the
exception of the Mayor, and the ordinance
passed unanimously. This is as it should
be. -The city slmuld ownaand control all
fire engines. : The stockholders in L. E.
Co., No. 2," have laid put of tho use of their
money since 1875 for the benefit ot the city,
and it is time their money was refunded.
