LOCAL RECORD. Biblis Sociitt. Tha annual meeting of tha Linn Count j'BibU. Society wss held at Dr. G rev's offiae Saturday evening.

Tha Sabbath servi oes were held at the M K Church South, Rev ) Comann, preaohing, and tha Presbyterian Church, Rev Irvine preaching. Rev lletxler, Bible agent was present at both plaoes and inada a statement in reference to the Bible work in Oregon. Moody. We admit this Moody business Is mixed up. A Salem exchange says he U to go to Astoria on January i. will be in Salem on the 3d and remain several days. He Is to bs In Albany on the 3d, and the Eugene papers say he Is to be there on the afternoon of the 3d. The dispatches state positively that he will open in San Fran clv:o on'Ianuary 6. The Democrat gives It up. It is glad though so many places want Moody. We all need him. When such man as Geo. It. Williams succumb to his Influences and take the front seat we may knaw he is doing a good work, and it is no wonder that In tha mad rush for him dates get confused. Thk Failurf. Concerning the failure of Jacobs & Neugass, says Sunday 's States man, It has been learned that the firm of J G Me vers & Co., with which they are con nec'.ed, owes over and above their assets $ 1 0,000 to Portland creditors ; Messrs' Jacobs k Keugass's liabilities above their Indebtedness in Bentoa county, which is fully secured, amounts to $35,000. which falls on San Francisco creditors. Their drv goods store at Yaquina City closed Satur day, and will soon be placed in the hand of a receiver. Do'T Throw Stones. "It Is about time for the editor of the Albany Demo crat to cease exposing his Ignorance by alluding to the Queen of the Pacific as be ing wrecked at the Columbia bar. The Queen of the Pacific Is not wrecked but is running between San Francisco and San Diego., Read up and keep posted, or else kep still." Pioneer. We are perfectly aware of the fact stated; but so far as the Columbia bar and its adjc ining sand spits were concerned it was all the same. Had the Yaquina Bay been as well managed after striking the sand it would never have become a total wreck. People living in glass houses should not throw stones; that is all we are getting at. We are anxious to see the Columbia and Yaquina bay and Puget sound all built up, so that we can be proud of any of them. Leo Broke w. Tuesday, about 11 o'clock, Alex Purdom, who has been assist ing in erecting the telegraph line on the Oregon Pacific, was riding with another hand on a railroad velocipede, about two mi'es from the east end of the track, when in rounding a curve, his left foot slipped from the treadle, and going down caught between- two ties, wrenching it so as to break a bone, just above where it was broken about a year ago. Dr. Whitney, one of the railroad's surgeons, set the bone. Alex has had more than hi share of brok en bones. Another Pioneer Dead. On Christ mas evening, Dec. 25, Mrs. Isaac FJutchins died, after a lingering illness, at the age of 70 years. With her husband she came to Linn county in about 1845. Mr. Hutchins took up a claim on the present site of the Elkins property adjoining this city; but afterwards sold it. lie was the first sher iff of the county. Mrs. Hutchins lived alone for a great many years in this city, getting a scanty living on a small income. Funeral services were held under charge of Rev. Webb. Jcdoxext. W 7 Butcher, a young law yer of Umatil county, was arrested in the fllofl8S6bye Kansas sheritJonder a re quisition from tbe governor of Kansa, charged with stealing a male in that state. It turned out that Butcher was not tbe man. He brought suit against tbe sheriff for 110,000 damages for false imprisonment and has just secured a judgment for f G000 in a Ktnaas court. - Qcabaktixkd.

Deputy Marshal Hoffman's attention was called to bis con duct and be immediately order him off the streets, telling bim in plain Eoglish ts get back where he belonged. Refasiog to com ply Mr IIorTbiaa drew bis revolver on htm . and sent a bullet into him, when . he turned up bis toes and died. He was simply Ed Davidson's shaggy haired dog. Its Present Status. James East is reported to be gradually improving and will probably recover. Dutch Henry is practically well. The three gentlemen in the pest house are all right, with no indica tions of any disease. They will be on our streets in a day or two. So Albany is prac tlcally free from the terrors of smallpox Its citizens are entitled to much credit for the sensible manner in which they have acted. A Surprise. Several of the friends of Mr. end Mrs. Jayj Blain Tuesday gave them a genuine surprise party in honor of the tenth anniversary of their wedding. It was a new tin affair and a very enjoyable one. Among the features of the evening was the eating of some of the original wed ding cake. Chbistmas Gifts.

DEYOE & ROBSON ARE AGENTS FOR THE NEW HIGH ARM DAVIS VERTICAL-FEED SEWING MA CHINE. BEST MACHINE IN THE MARKET. Tut Concert. About one hundred fifty people attended the concert and social Iven last Tuesday at the opera house for the benefit of the Presbyterian church. It was a very refined and nice entertainment a treat to people with a taste for a high class of music, which appeals only to the best sentiments. The concert was divided Into two parts, religious and secular. In the first part the soprano and tenor duet by Mrs. Geo. E. Chamberlain and Rev. Prichard, was particularly heard with marked interest. ' In the second part the trio by Mrs. Geo. E. Chamberlain and Messrs. Prichard and Lee was a fine piece of singing. Rev. Prichard was enthusias tlcly encored after a vocal solo, as was also Mrs. fc. w. Langdon. If possible Mrs, Langdon shows Improvement since recelv Ing Instructions under one of California's best teachers. She has one of the most pleasing voices it U the pleasure of an audience to listen to, and sines with an in telligent articulation that Is really refresh ing atter listening to an operatic sincer. The duet by Mrs. Chamberlain and Rev. rricharu was a pleasing effort. The trio by Mrs. Langdon, Mrs. Chamberlain and Kev. Prichard was perhaps the best of the program. A chorus, "Victoria," closed the program. Christmas Evk. The Christmas eve festivities were of a very interesting nature at all of the churches. Those at the M. E. church south were held at 3 o'clock, at the other churches at 7 o'clock. The trees generally were nice ones. One of the prettiest arrangements we have seen in Albany, was at the Baptist church, consist ing of two symmetrical trees, with an ever green arch between, capped by a smal tree, the whole forming a very pretty grotl to, and the display of presents was as hand some as me tree. At the M. E- I'resby. terian, U. P. and Congregational churches the trees were also attractive ones and the supply of presents was rather larger than usuai. une ot the imest presents tendered In the city was that of a complete com munion service, one of the finest in the state, by Mrs. W. H. McFarland, the fol lowing Inscription on which explains it: To the First Congregational church of Al bany, in memory of W. H. Mcrnrland, who died July 5, 188S. The Cai-sk. Mr. J. P. Lord, Master of the steamship "Yaquina Bay"has made the following statement of the cause ot the wreck.lng.of the "Yaquina Bay,"whlch set tles the matter completely : As there has been much comment on the loss of the steamship "Yaquina Bay" in Yaquina bay, I wish to say through your paper that the steamer was wrecked In Yaquina bay, in side of the bar through the carelessness of a pilot employed by the Oregon Develop ment Company. Ko blame whatever is attached to the captain of the tug "Reso lute. It was my first trip to Yaquina, but common sense to!d me from years of sea service that a ship must be going through the water to have steerage way ; but my pilot told me a ship must go slow over Ya quina bar to tro safelv. I went slow, and the result is my ship is a wreck In Yaquina naroor.aiongtiue the jetty. That Millers Trcst The Democrat on Saturday printed some resolutions from the Grangers of Marion county, one of which was to the effect that there Is a Mil lers trust in Oregon. This Is denied. The following is from the Portland Xews : "We printed the other day an extract from a farmer's letter in relation to an alleged Millers Trust in this State. Since then we hare received the assurance of a large stockholder in flouring mills In the neigh borhood of Salem, that there is no founda tion for the statement that there is in Ore gon any Trust' among ml!l owners. On the contrary he assures us that the millers are at all times in active competition with each other for sales of their products. And that furthermore, Instead of making money lattyearon nour all the merchants mills lost money ; and that with the present downward tendency ot prices the pros pects are good for them to loie more money mis year. The Only Safe One. The following is from the Astoria, and reads very pecu liarly in view of the fact that two steamers have been wrecked at the Columbia bar, almost none on Puget Sound, and two on Yaquina Bay from other cause than the nature of its bar : "There is great effort made by parties interested to prove that the wreck of the 'Yaquina Bay' was due to gross carelessness on the part of those en gaged in taking her in, and not to the dan- gerous character of the port of Yaquina But whatever excuses may be offered, the fact that the history of the port is one of disaster to the finest steamers designed specially for that harbor, does not prom ise a very bright future for the port of Ya quina. Without a wish to disparage other ports, It is fair to say that the only safe harbor on the northwest coast is the Col umbia river." An Interesting Fact. In the ninth century, an old beggar from Japan too k some tea seeds and plants back with him to his native land. The Japanese relished the new drink,and built at Osaka a temple to the memory of tnose who introduced It, This temple is still standing, though cow almost 700 years old. Conn Bros., in this city, keep some of the descendants of these same tea seeds,and as well a splendid stock of groceries, provisions and crockery ware generally. Vheir customers are always well satisfied. A Bad Fall. Lewis Pettijohn of Cros- ton, Marion county, met with a very pain ful, and perhaps serious accident at Leban on, on Monday. He had been visiting his daughter, Mr. Fiddler.who lives near that place and had started back home. As he was bearding the cars at Lebanon he slip ped and fell off the platform, to the ground several feet below. His back was badly wrenched, and it is feared that his pine is injured. He was taken to Salem and thence to his home.

The failure of Jacobs & Neugass and J. G. Meyers & Co., the railroad contractors, I developing some interesting facts. Among the heavy creditors were Thomp son, DeIIart& Co., of Portland, to whom J. G, Meyers & Co. the Co. being Jacobs Sc Neugass, owed $20,000. Friday the firm learned the true condition of affairs, when Mr. Hlckock, a member of the firm, char tered a special train and came to Albany at acostof$i a minute, After the train had started back for Portland he learned that the railroad plant of Meyers & Co. was in Marion county, recalled the train, went to Salem, got the necessary papers oi clerk, returned to Albany on the noon train and took another $1 a minute ride on the Ore gon Pacific to the front, a fast wagon ride and had the plant attached ahead of all others and before an assignment had been made. At the time the contractors were paid up to the 10th of the month while the hands were owing for two months. Mr. Meyers borrowed money and left for the north. The laborers, nearly four hundred strong, quit work and are said to be on their way to Corvallls with blood in their yes, declaring vengeance on Neutrasa. lioagor anyone they can get hold off. Their time checks in order to appease their wram were made out to Meyers & Co. or the Oregon Pacific, which on Its face fore bodes a storm. Meyers & Co, give their reasons for the failure as follows, we are Informed : Their contract with the Com pany calls for 30 cents a cubic yard for dirt work and 60 cents for rock work. Consid erable of the grading was in rock work. but the engineer estimated it as only a mixture, and the Company allowed only 30 cents a cubic yard. Mr. Meyers says he has grown gray in railroad work and never saw such estimates before. The money paid on the contracts seems to have gone to take up securities, as nearly as we can learn. Anyway It results In Jacobs St Neugass having liabilities amounting to about $100,000 and assets to $60,000 to $7v 000, and the prospects of another big suit. The whole failure Is an unfortunate one ; but of course will have no effect on the rapid development of the railroad. On the Southern Iloundary.
