Some (parts of the trip were rough, but altogether it ; was a bracing ride. They left the boys all well, though Merrill was just recov- - ering from an atuck if varioloid, and all anxious for the time when they could leave for Oregon. The boys speak in high terms of the conduct of the Albany i members of the second regiment. Dr. Ellis had made a splendid reputation as a physician and surgeon and Lieut. Phil lips was liked by everybody. Many of them sent home packages of relics and mementoes for their relative and friends. Leslie had a big mahogany box full and Frank a couple boxes well filled includ ing things for themselves, among others their suits worn there, odd looking af fairs. Corporal Yerick and Private wire are welcome home, and their friends are glad to know of the splendid reports of their excellent conduct while gone. The boys look well, though their complex ions indicate their residence in ajropical climate. For Better Roads. Road Diet. No. 53, Linn Co., Oregon. Dec 20, 1898. To the Hon. County Court of Linn Co. Oiegon. As per your request the Road Super visor (Mr. Ubbe Peters) of the above named district called a meeting of the voters ol said district. The meeting to be on the 20th day of Dec 1S9S at the hour of 10 o'clock a. m. at tbe home of said supervisor and at said meeting the following business was transacted, the supervisor having stated the object of the meeting. Ubbe Peters was elected chairman and D. S. Smith secretary of the meeting. A vote was then taken for the election of a supervisor for the year 1899, which resulted in tbe election of Ubbe Peters, be having received all the votes cast (except his own.) The selec tion was made "without regard to bis religion, politics or color of bis hair," but bec ause bo is a good, energetic sub stantial resident of this district and as pushing and enthusiastic a road man as there is in tbe district, this the voters know for be has served them as super visor for seven or eight years and we have as good roads as any district in the county (if not the best.) We therefore ask the Hon. County Court to appoint Mr. Peters our supervisor for 1899. It was the sentiment of the meeting that we should have good roads not only in our own bat adjoining districts, and to try and obtain that the supervisor was instructed by the voters present to notify the County Court of tbe condition of the road north of Oak Creek in district No. 17 and to try and secure more work for this road, as there baa been but very little work done on this road since all of the road work of the city of Albany has been done within the city limits. We are of the opinion that no county money could be spent more profitably than to keep up this road as it is wearing out very last and is one of the principal high ways to tbe county seat. Ibe voters and taxpayers ia district No. 53 sre all in for good roads and are willing to do their part to make them. L. S. Smith, Secretary. I Firemen's Hall.

The trial of Pet Strahan-Moore going on in New York City is of local interest to Albany people, besides having attract ed national attention. Here is yester days account of it. Mrs. Fayne Strahan-Moore and her stylish gowns and wondrous eyes have been banished from court during the second trial of her husband, William A E Moore, who, with his wife, is accused of robbing Martin Mahon, proprietor of (tie xvew Amsterdam hotel. Kecorder Goff drove her into the exile of the Tombs when the second trial was begun in Part 4 of the court of general sessions. The young woman, with the air of un concern she has worn since the dav of her arrest, swept early into court in charge of a blue-coated court officer, and with a pleasant nod and smile to Abra ham Levy, her husband's lawyer, to k a seat at his side. Assistant District Attorney Mclntyre had viewed the woman's advance through the courtroom with a growing wrinkle between his eyes. He aid not want her there. It was safer in his mind that sho should not sit there daily where the jury cou'd look upon her and possi bly be influenced by her attractiveness. Therefore, when, alter the proceedings had been formally opened, Mr. Levy asked that Mrs. Moore be permitted to remain and hear the evidence. Mcln tyre objected. His view of the matter was held by Recorder Goff, who ordered the woman removed , Smiling slightly, she tripped away with the watchful court othcer, back across the "Bridge of Sighs" to her cell. She may be called forth as a witness, however. Mr. Levy savs be will put her on the stand, and Mclntyre declares he would like to ask her certain ques tions. These relate, in part, to her diary, which the officials of the district attor ney's office say they bave obtainod pos session of. This record, it is said, covers the last three years of her life, the most eventful period, and describes many interesting narratives, in which appear the names of several prominent men. Levy insists tsat no such diary is in existence. Neither the woman who accuses Moore of being a bigamist nor her mother was in court. The young woman is still in Connecticut, where she was taken after the shock of tbe discovery of Moore's marriage with Fayne Strahan. Her mother, while not ia court, was near by, within easy call of Mclntyre bad her presence been needed. As for Moore, he was evidently lighter of heart than on his former trial. The failure of the jury to agree bad given him greater hope, and instead of tbe set look be wore throughout Uie first trail be hadapUasantexpreseio&imiled affa bly when he greeted bis lawyer and his associates, and at times showed amuse ment at the examination of tbe tales men. In tbe trial against Moore preceeding that of his wi'e the jury brought in the verdict: "We find the defendant, Wm. A. E. Moure, guilty of robbery in the first degree and recommend him to the mercy of the court," Moore etood be fore Recorder Goff a convicted felon. After deliberating for two boors and a half the verdict had - been reached. Moore bit bis lips and clenched bis fist. He stared at tbe recorder and at Mr Mc lntyre and the jurors, folly realising his position. lie knew the maximum pen- alty for tbe offense is twenty years in state pnson. Two mora Oregon bova bave died at Manila, Louis A Miller of Yamhill coun ty, and John Fenton of Oakland. There was nw balling at tbe depot today. Tbe snow was brought down from the front last evening on box car. It is reported that Mr Robert Craw ford is contemplating tbe erection of aa opera bouse block, it ia to be hoped be will.
