Philadelphia, Pa.
Accompanying was a letter which ex
plains the situation. The letter is as
follows : -
We are glad to inform you that you
have secured the second priie for the
record Prize taker onion seut us the past
season, and we inclose herewith as a
Jew Years gift, draft on the Third Na
tional Bank for $50, amount ,f second
prize. Wm. Henry Maule.
The onion was sent in September and
'weighed when shipped 40ounces, but on
being entered at Philadelphia weighed
only 36 ounces having dried up some. It
waa one among several thousand, and
hence the credit is a big one for Linn
connty sail and the Democrat is glad to
about over the victory.
Was It Accident or Murder.
There is a decided difference of opin
ion in reference to the cause oitlie death
of James Eglin at Corvallis Saturday
morning"." When Eglin left Albany
about 10 o'clock he is reported to have
been in a very intoxicated condition.
Silly Williams of the Eglin stables was
also in the city and went back in another
buggy at the same time. Two sisters,
.Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Gosper, welt
inown in Albany, who Lad intended to
ro to Corvallis on a boat, rode with them
one with each. They claim that on
Teaching the suburbs of CorvaUis both of
them rode the rest of the way with Wil-,
liams, and Eglin proceeded alone. Wil
liams came back, but not seeing him
went to the stable, and then out again
on a hunt for him. The baggy was
smashed, but there were appearances
that it had been driven under a low
shed at the electric light station for the
purpose. The tugs on the horees were
looped np, proving that there had been
no runaway witii the buggy. Some
th'nk Eglin "while intoxicated walked off
into the river, others are confident he
was struck on the head and murdered
-and dragged into the river. The matter
is certainly very myaterioue, and it ia
-doubtful if the correct version is ever ee
cured of it.
A strong opinion in Corvallis probably
is thatehn was m ir lnre-J, and sus
picion noints verv STi-mifflv to a certain
jparty. "
Some peop.e think Eglin was not
drowned at all, but that be is perhaps
alive now. -
The river has been dragged without
lis body being found

OVER A "WALK.
An Ordinance Requires Cement
Walks on First St., Kerry to
Ellsworth.
Mr. John Fox this forenoon began the
work of taking up the sidewalk in front
of the stores of Parker Bros, arid Shulti
Bros., for the purpose of putting down a
new wooden walk. Now it transpires
that for some time several neighbors
along the street have desired to see a
cement walk at that place, thus making
block, and as a result as soon as the old
walk was lorn nn Marshal aennwl
upon Mr. rox, Mr. Kasper Kropp, who
!i"d eharee of the work and the man
cnt'ing the lumber at theSpinka yard,
restraining them lrnm putting down a
wa'k at that place, a city ordinance
specially prohibiting it. The injunction
was respected and it i probable a ce
ment walk will be seen there as soon as
it can be erected, all of which will be
greatly appreciated by the traveling
public.
A Woolen Mill Suit.
'"'The Oregonian says that suit has been
instituted in the sUte circuit court by L.

mills vs. Ben Selling, to recover possess
ion of cloths, flannels, blankets, silks,
worsted goods, linings, and a few suits of
clothes and several overcoats, etc, all of
which are enumerated, of the value of
$5061.75 ; a'eo a second lot of goods of the
value of $466.61. It is alleged that Sell
ing unlawfully retains possession of
these goods, and refused to surrender
them upon demand made on him De

SuonTLT . DtsFiGr&ED. Mr. Charles
Ffeiffer has not been out in -ch on the
street for two or three days. Here is
the reason: On returning home the
o her evening he found a crowd of young
people at his home having a live time
and joined in the birthday fun, in the
course of vhich to keep his face from
being colored black he tied out the back
door of his pri -ate rooms, na he did so
slipping and falling on a screen hook,
catling a bad gash just nnder one eye,
requiring several stitches by a surgeon
to sew it up It has been "figured out
that an inch or two either way might
have proven much more disastrous to
the Revere House proprietor.

because It cures, not once or twice or a

Uncle Billy Wright, of Salem, has
stood well wih Albany people for sev
eral years and it will be with surprise
that our people read the following from
the Statesman, and with hesitancy that
it is believed ; but we give it as publish
ed by that paper :
The commitment to the insane asylum
of Mrs. Lydia Wright, of this city,
which occurred on Thursday, the last
day of the old year, has attracted con
siderable attention. Mrs. Wright's com
mitment was the result of information
furnished acd a complaint sworn out by
her husband, best known as "Uncle"
BUIy Wright. The unfortunate woman
lost her eyesight over a year ago and
since then has been an invalid. It is
alleged by members of her family that
her husband has said once or twice that
he would have her committed, as her
mind was not right Two grown sons
of the family. Perry and Sam, fought the
proposition as they considered their
mother's condition not to be such as to
warran such a course, but during their
absence the lather carried out his plans. '
uouvuiuikuo cumuiiiuiem tne Hus
band is accused by neighbors of having
aimoet cnoKea nis wile into insensibility
and disheveled her hair and clothes in
order to give her the appearance of a de
mented person. It is also charged that
a short time ago Mr. Wright brought a
girl from Albany for tbe purpose of hav
ing undue intimacy with her, keeping
her -in his home. This, ot course, was
the caussof trouble In the home, and
the commitment followed as a result.
Perry and Sam, the grown sons are de
termined to take their mother out of
the asylum and are preparing a home
for her in Albany, where Perrv has a
good position in the woolen mill. The
members of several set-ret beneficiary
orders to which Mr. and Mrs. Wright
belong, have taken the matter in hand
and will make a thorough investigation
ot the awful charges against the recreant
n us Dana.
TUESDAY
Injunction Dissolved.
Judge Burnett, of the Circuit Court,
last evening handed in bis decision in
the wheat case of Moore, Ferguson & Co..
against W. F. Crosby et al.dissotving the
injunction restraining the removal of the
wheat. The decision establishes the fact
that the wheat did not belong to the de
fendant Crosby and the plaintiffs will
hve to take some other course in their
claim against him. Upon securing the
temporary injunction Moore, rerguson A
Co gave bonds to the O. O. & E. for
$3000 and moved the wheat to Fran
cisco, further compli -atinr the matter.

F. Company.
Col. Jackson U. S. A. ia his report of
nd regiment gave the following in ref
erence to his inspection of F. Co., of this
city:
This company is forty-two strore and
had Xhirt officers and members present
at inspection (seventy-one per cent).
The men in ranks were quite well set up
and presented a very soidienr appear
ance, with a few exceptions; thry were:
in proper dress for inspection, with
while collars and well blacked shoe.
Tbs manual of arms waa fairly well per
formed and company movements well
executed. The company waa drilled in
squads by the non-commissioned officers
who showed some knowledge of their
duties, but no great proficiency; the
drill of the company by the the first and
second lieutenants (the company has no
captain) showed considerable impiove-
inent over last year; tne omcers are
much better potsu-d and have better
command The arms, equipments and
uni'orms were found to be in good con
ditien, and state property wll cared for.
The armorr contains an excelSent com
pany room for administration, and in
this the lockers, arm-racks and company
desks are permanently Licated. An ad
dition to the drill hall has be.-n
put on since last year, consisting of a
100m about ten by fooiteen feet, for use
of the detachment of the hospital corps
of t e second regiment, located at this
place. Tbe hospital corps was not in
cluded in this inspection, bat Ibe surgeon
general, who inspects them, reports that
they are well drilled and rthcient in
their special duties. Dr Ellis, the reg
imental surgeon, was oresent at the in
spection and seems to be a competent
and careful officer. The, company has a
fine outdoor range for target paciice,
but have as yet done little in this line.
A Cocktrt Fiax. The residence of C.
A. Croft, residing in the forks, twenty
miles east of Albanv, caught on fire last
Sunday morning about J o clock, and
was entirely burned, together with tbe i
contents, a big ham adjoining and con
siderable machinery stored in it. Ths

struggle shown. Mrs. Smith and Mrs.
Gosper instead of coming to Albane oo
Friday as reported, came here Thursday,
and Mr. Smith passed through here on

Mr. Floed's sosyestions in last week's
Democrat regarding the reenactmeot of
the mortgage tax la are t:meiy. There

knows that a lam majority of tbe peo
ple of tbe state are in favor of ita reen
actment. If there is a member of tbe
present legislature that does not know
that tbe present law relating to the tax
ing of mortgages is the most iniquitous
measure tbat has ever disgraced the
statute of this state, be o?ght to be tent
to a borne for the feeble minded. A law
so palpably nnjost breeds contempt for
