LOCAL RECORD.

tha Linn Count j'BibU. Society wss held at
Dr. G rev's offiae Saturday evening. Tha
President, Rev Irvina oallod tha meeting to
order and Rev Webb offered Draper. Tha
reports of the Treasurer and depoeitor were

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. Sunday be was making
himself too free on the streets considering
tbe fact that be bad been stopping at .Mrs
East's for over week. 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. On the morning of
Christmas day there was born to the wife
of Mr. John Fox a boy. He was plump and
healthy and fined the stocking full.
Born. To the wife of John Maxwell,
girl, on Christmas eve.
$50,000. William is. iascott, trie mur
derer of Mr. Snell at Chicago, for whose
capture a reward of $50,000 is offered, is
now supposed to be near Walla Walla. It
may be a good thing for Albany's detec

to be sneezed at.

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.

A BAD FAILURE.
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.
