A, T. met a gentleman In this citv who received a slight injury by an accident. The newspaper here pub lished it. and the Portland papers rehashed ft, with a little more color to the scene. A friend of the gentleman saw the news, and, thinking something serious had happened, came all the war to Albany to find out ahout it. He sbould have telegraphed. Thus It is that little thing often expand ' nto balloons. ! O Railroad building makes things at least temporarily lively. Our city needs to anchor the" boat now that It has It and keep the life with us. O The chapter of accidents around Albany thh summer has extended Inio a volume. O Parties feeding tramps should send their bills for meals Into the county court. Bills savoring of that nature are sometimes allowed O If some of the exaggerated stories cir culated on the streets were true, the Oregon Pacific could easily get a sufficiency of sixty-five foot piles by utilising corn stalks grown in this county. O While in the city Col. Hogg's prty saw some of the ax and pick handles man ufactured bv Daniel Best and pronounced them the best they had ever seen. They took several samples east with them to show what we can do in Oregon in this line. O The M A T is proud of the verdict of the jurv in the Chicago ana-chist trial. It is a local matter to all of us. We do not rejoice at the mere fact that August Shies, Michael Schwab and five others will hang, but we do rejoice over the fact that the big foot of American LA has been set down solidly, like a sledge hammer, on anarchism, socialism, communism and all kinds of disorganizing ism. These in ternal, vital consuming fires must be quenched, and Portland. Seattle, Tacoma and San Francisco may well open their eyes and ears. O It is reported to the M A T that a certain pirtv in Alb. ny is charging 50 cents a drink. Some one suggests that if this is the case the li- ense should be placed at $1200 a year, in order to protect the 10-cent-a-drink man. o If Jamison's plan had been carried out he and Saunders would have eone down the railroad, found a car loaded and locked for the East when Jamison, who i an adept j at the business, would have opened it in a 1 scientific manner and ther would then have I traveled beyond the reach of our officers unobserved; but fortunately Saunders would not listen to this plan.

InJications of previous use leads Sheriff Smith to think they were the se ne used when Saunders escaped before. At another time a knife blade made into a saw was found in the jail.

Last Friday morning J. H. Parrtent was examined before George Humphrey, Esq., having been arrested, as stated In our last Issue, for shooting Thos. Martin, on the Hannon farm, about two miles this side of Corvallis, in Linn Co., on Monday Aug 16. As brought out before the Justice the case proved a nlghly Interesting one. Dr. Farra, of Corvallis, who dressed the wound, and to whom Martin told the story of the shooting, Mrs. Elisabeth Beach, who saw the final part of the shooting affair, and Mr Hiram Beach, to whom Parrient and Martin made statements, testified for the prosecution. Adam Mlllhollen, who knew nothing about the matter, Jas Hannon, son-in-law of the prisoner, and the prisoner him self, testified tor the defense. TIIK STORY or THR STATR, Showed about the following facts: Thos. Martin, aged 67, last spring, rented a field of the Hannon farm of Mrs. Parrient, on part of which he planted a melancholy melon patch. His neighbors round' about made it so warm for the riper ed melons that the old ;;e .ttleman took his gun with him when he went to the patch. Friday, Aug. i t. Martin found Parrient with his horses in the field near the patch on the land rented by him. He ordered him to get out or he would shoot him. Parrient got out. Sunday Parrient went to a neigh bors and got a gun belonging to a 1 lannon boy and loaded it with BB shot. Monday afternoon Martin went to the patch and set his gun down, when Parrient suddenly raised up front behind some bushes and leveled his iron at him. Martin ran and climbed the fence into the road and started towards Hiram Beech's house, Parrient partially headed hi.n off, and told him to .top. which he did not do. when the pris oner fired diagonally from behind, hitting Martin in the legs, nine shot entering his legs and feet, all but one below the knees, five in the right leg and foot and the rest in the left. None of the wounds were danger ous. ta men t followed Martin and caught him near Mr Beech's house, when he took the gun awav from him and left for hit home. Dr. Farra got four of the shot out of Martin's limbs. Two or three days be fore the shooting Parrient stated to Mr Beech that he would fix Martin yet. After the shooting Parrient told Mr Beech that If Martin had had any grit he would hxve shot, and that he wanted to cool the old gentleman off. According to THR DKFKNSB'S STORY Martin had said that he would shoot any one who came around his melon patch and that he would have shot Parrient if he hadn't taken his horses out at the time men tioned. Martin accused the prisoner of having stolen his melons. Monday, think ing it was not safe for Martin to have a gun around, Parrient took a shot gun, loaded it with BB shot, and went to have a talk with Martin and get him to leave his gun at home. When Martin saw Parrient coming he got his gun which was leaning against a bush, and leveled it at Panic.-., whc.i the prisoner returned the compliment, then Martin lowered his gun and started towards Beech's. When in the road Parrient asked him to stop as he wanted to talk with him, when Martin partially turned, aiming his gun at Perrient. Thinking he was going to shoot, the n.isoner rat -d his gup and fired at the lower part of Martin's legs, and then followed mm up, took his gun away from him, and going through the field, fired ft jnto a fir tree, to keep Martin from using it and to see how it was loaded. After hearing the testimony the justice ordered the prisoner to be held to await the action of the grand jury under $1000 bail, which he thought he would not be able to ra:se. He is a boarder at the Hotel de Smith at present. Parrient is 4 J years of acre, old enough to know that in this civil unvrv 1 t ;;un policy is entirely out of o-dr. except in guarding ones melon patch. on M household aysinst tramps. u ..

He told about how he and Logan were, while in California, offered $50 a month by the foreman of a logging camp, and they were contemplating about resigning their positions on getting East and coming out here and earning an honest livelihood, which sort of tickled the crowd, as it con tained solid food to reflect on. Gov. Alger said the best speech he could make was to introduce Mrs. Logan, and that lady, nearly as famous as her husband, put In an apprarancs Tlx OoiffBsW characterized her as the handsomest lady he had ever met except his wife. When his wife was introduced many agreed with him, at least as to the comparison. Mrs. Logan, though, is a solid looking woman. A general hand shaking with General Logan and wife closed the reception. One veteran said to 1 the General, "I was with you at Vicks- burg, "and Logan gave him an extra squeeze of the hand. Another, our horse doctor friend across the way, thought the General I would remember him as one of his comrades, 1 and the General did seem to notice a familiar appearance in the doctor. Besides those mentioned there were in the party fifteen or twenty others little known to our people. It does a people good to be brought face to face with those famous, WlldlCVCI WITH JJWIiWt.!, VI Kill.

Montague, of Lebanon, and Mrs. Lees, a lady visiting in the State from Florida, had just Ktaned from oodavlue towards Jeo anon, in a dog cart, when their horse be came frightened just at the beginning of the descent of the hill from the citv. The cart was turned over, both ladies being thrown out. The lines caught around Mrs. Monta gue's neck, aud she was dragged a short distance in that manner. She was picked up for dead, the lines having left a blue mark around her neck and strangled her, and her face was bruised so that she was almost unrecognizable. Fortunately the horse was comparatively gentle and stopped after running only a tew yards. Investiga tion proved that Mrs. Montague was still alive, but It was several hours before she obtained consciousness. She is now slowly recovering. The left arm of Mrs. Lees, was broken between the elbow and shoulder She was taken to Lebanon, where she re celved surgical aid. Csraer stone service.

The land league meeting In Chicago last week was one of uncommon importance, watched as closely in Europe as In America. A striking resolution was one boycotting everything of English manufacture. The absolute freedom of Ireland was talked though not resolved. . At Clovedrale Cat., Mrs. Gen. Ixigan met an old schoolmate whom she hud not seen for years and years.

Last Sunday night just before daylight the residence of Mr. John Nichols, of Rock Hill, was entirely consumed by fire, to aether with all the furniture and fixtures, ft happened about like this. A day or two previous Mr. Nichols' son Robert came home from Eastern Oregon, bringing In. wife and child, the latter of whom was quite sick, and required care all night. A candle was lighted in the night by Mrs Nichols and left burning, Mr and Mrs Nichols afterwards going to sleep. The flame caught in some cotton clothes hang ing on the wait, and communicated to the paper on the cotton lined ceiling. The fire spread so fast that when alarmed by the noise Mr and Mrs Nichols only had time to get from their room with their sick child. The rest of the household, consisting of Mr and Mrs John Nichols, Anna and Isa Morris, daughters of A B Morris and a Miss Dartnals, were alarmed, and only succeeded In getting from the house in their night clothes, the opening of the doors making a draft that permitted the names to spread with great rapidity. Miss Anna Morris I tad her hair badly singed, otherwise no personal injury was done.

M r i it is The DeatocRAT, as well as other local valley papers, has been for some time an nouncing that the Oregon Pacific was to be a part of a great transcontinental line, and that work waa going to be pushed right along till this end 1 accomplished. The fact U now well established in the public's mind. One of the best evidences of tht ta that the Oregamittn last Monday came out in a leader announcing that they had "positive assurance, front men who propose to furnUh the money and who are amply able to do It, that the Oregon Pacific railroad will be pushed on to an Kastem connection as soon as the line can be built." Here are some of the things the paper says about the matter. We give them, although they are known to mot of our readers alrcrdy : Twenty miles eaatward from Corvallis will be built this fall, and In the meantime a route on to Boise City will he selected and surveyed. Already engineering parties are in the lield. It U projiosed to cruse the Cascade mountain through I he p.ia cast of Albany, and to penetrate the bei sections of middle Oregon. In the main the route will be direct, though there may he some divergence to u-kc m the dist.-ict'a best cal culated to yield huine. These gentlemen (referring "to Col. Hogg, J. I. BlaJr and P. R. Pync.) who have spent the past two weeks In looking about trie country are en thusiastic in appreciation of all they have seen and exprc absolute confidence in the future of the country and in the Oregon Pacific enterprise. 8aid Mr. Pync: J have seen enough to Bonvittca m that the story ha been but half to d. I believe that tne Oregon Pacific will lie a profitable rail road and that a great city will grow up at Ynquina bay.' Mr. Blair approved of all that Mr. Pvue'sald and both, avowing their connection with the Oregon Pacific enter prise, supported 1 ol. Hogg' statement of plans as outlined above. It U intended that at or near Boise City the Oregon Pacific shall meet the Chicago & Northwestern, which will extend its line to Idaho during the next two years. Of this road Mr. Buir is the chief stockholder. Mr. Pyne U also a large stockholder. They, with their connections, control Its management and so are able to speak with authoritv. The idea of these enterprises, so these gen tlemen inform us, is not speculative. The lines are to be built with the expectation that they will do a profitable business in transporting freight and passengers, and witu this view every possible effort will be made to develop the country. The work will be pushed with as much haste as is onsistent with economical construction. With such assurances we cannot doubt thst within the next three years, possibly in two years, ..Oregon will have another transcon tinental road. The prospect is full of good promises. By coming through the middle of the state, the proposed line will open up a region very great in extent and which, it is reported, contains much good agricultural and grazing land ; and besides this local neueiii, we snan nave irom tne new unc an the advantages which grow out of general competition?' But In reference to there growing up at Yuquina a great port the Ortgonian dissents, and rocs off on its old tangent that only eighteen fect of water can be ob tained there, not sulliclent to do much for the Bay in that line. Portland, though, will get the benefit, in fact, the roan sa 111 Jinve to go to that city for three reasons, su nmed up, because it ts Portland, that particular point doer, not agitate us, though it does the Orrgontan. he road will pa through Albany, and this city will probably be the distributing point for the valley. We believe it will be the principal place on the road west of iioise City. NOTES. A San Francisco paper says that the union of the Chicago and N. W. and the O. P. is an established fact. The former road Is now completed 700 miles west of the Missouri, and Boise City will be reached ny both roads In two years. The 2800 feet of pile driving at the north approach to the bridge at this city progressing rapidly under the able super vision of Mr. West. About eighteen piles a day are driven at each end.
