SUICIDE OF A DEFAULTER.
Last, week we mentioned the fact
that W. N. Castle had committed
suicide, when arrested at Astoria
The following particulars are from
the Astorian of the 11th inst:
On the arrival of the steamship Oregon at
the dock in this city yesterday, Chief of

i onee xiii ry aiiu omcer atem tooit into cus
tody a man by the name of W. N. Castle,
defaulting city clerk of San Jose, on orders
from D. H. Hazkell, Chief of Police of San
Jose. When arrested Castle attempted to
shut himself up in his state-room on board
the steamer, but was prevented from doing
so by the omcers, when he quietly submitted,
saying that he had been expecting it, ami
that there was but one way for him to get
out of it. He walked up to the jail door
witn tne omeers, Air. stein on his right, and
Chiet Harry on the left of him. At the
jail Mr. Stein stepped in fr.uit O" the pris
oner to unlock the door, when Castle step
ped back a pace, and drew a revolver out of
his pocket, or out of his sleeve, and instant
ly threw his hand toward his head and shot
himself so" quickly that officer Barry was
powerless to prevent it, and the man fell
dead at his feet. The ball entered the right
car shattering the base of the skull, and
produced death instantly. Among the pa
pers found upon his person, was a letter ad
dressed to Capt. dairies Johnson, Phunheld,
Yolo county, California, of which the fnk
lowing is a copy :

Charles ass Makv Johnson :
Dear Friends :- Give an

with you. Tiie bigger boys, Gust and Frank, will

laying this burden upon you, but I have no one else to

Justice Turley, acting as coroner, sum
moned a jury, consisting of C. S. Wright,
C. H. Stockton. O. Sovey, D. Hambirrger,
Thomas Logan, and P. H. Fox ; who, after
hearing such testimony as was presented,
rendered a verdict of suicide.
Deceased had no baggage nor valuables
With hnn. with the exception of a sum of
money, which will be turned over to the
coroner. We are not advised as to what
disposition will be made of the remains of
this unfortuuate man, but probably the
body will be returned to San Jose for burial.
It is said that he was a prominent member
of society in San Jose, and his untimely
death is probably the result of uasuscessful
stock gambling.

Denied. In the matter of the United
States vs. W. C. Griswold, on motion for a
new trial, Judge Deady overruled the mo
tion. We learn that Mr. Griswold, to re
lease his sureties, gave himself up to the
marshal, he having been put under arrest at
the commencement of the trial and having
given bonds with A. Bush and John F. Mil
ler as sureties. The marshal took the re
ceipt of Sheriff Ben Norden for the defend
ant who was in the Portland jail at last ac
counts but will, no doubt, hare the privi
leges of the jail limits, which include 500 J
acres, so he will have breathing room. Un-
der the U. S. law he will probably remain I
under nominal durance for thirty davs,
when4he can make oath to his inability to
pay the judgment of 35,003 rendered
against him and that will release his sure
ties. This presents the case as the facts and
probabilities reach us. Our advice to Gris

. Salem Statesman, 12th iiist.
Neii
With the arrival of the steamer Oregon,
E. Koehler, of the Oregon and Califoruia
Railroad Company, returned to this State.
Since Mr. Koehler did go much for Oregou in
influencing the German bondholders to con
tinue the railroad on the we3t side of the
Willamette, it would not be out of place
for the people in the localities benfiited by
his labors, to tender him in some way their
appreciation of the result of his work. He

pendent.
If the west side road is actually built, next
season, according to oft-repeated assurances
the people of the west side counties will not
be slow in showing their appreciation of the
labors of Mr. Koehler. We have no doubt,
however, that the present managers of this
mean business and we hope to hear
e locomotive whistle at CorvaUis. before
the next autumn.
T. 1 , .
it is a goon sign when iiie news
papers of the State becornu alive' to
public improvements, and urge llie
people forward in this direction. No
State in the Union offers greater in
ducement for railroads than Oregon,
and there seem j to be a forward
movement in these enterprises all
over the State. The Salem States
man, of the 14th inst., has the follow
ing cheering words relative to the
narrow gauge project, in which Lane,
Linn and Marion counties are espe
cially interested, and which we sin
cerely hope will be speedily pushed
to completion :
The committee appointed to aka action
in the matter of constructing a nflflw gauge
railroad from Salem to Springfield, in Lane
county, has commenced taking subscriptions
and the Salem Flouring Mill Company has
headed the list with a subscription of four
thousand dollars. The people of Salem will
not ian to ao tnoir part in making the pro
posed enterprise a success. Our citizens
realize the importance of the work and will
move at once. The proposed road will glean
the best part of the Willamette valley on
the east side of the river, no part of which
will be through unproductive country. It
will command a larger business than the
present road in proportion to its length, not
only for grain but for lumber of the finest
quality. It will pass near the base of the
foot-hills where the finest water power is to
be found for manufacturing purposes, ami
where timber in abundance is accessible. It
Will accommodate a district of country yet
undeveloped, a country of wonderful capa
bilities, up the mountain streams and far up
the mountain side, comfortable homes can
be made for many thousand more peoplethan
now inhabit this district of country. Once
this road is built a new impetus will be giv
en to all industries of every kind and all
will center here in our capital city.
It is to be' hoped that ail who ar3 able to
do something in this matter will come for-
Waid at once, let there be no holding back.
There are men here who have grown rich in
this place and have large property interests,
who are expected to do the liberal part in
this work. Such occasions measure the
public spirit of men and the people note it
with accuracy.
The subsidy will be raised, but it is to bo
hoped that all who have an interest in the
future of this place will contribute in pro
portion to their ability. Let not any with
hold their proportion expecting to reap the
beuefits, sura to come, without doing any
thing to bring about the desired result. The
liberal and just will be prompt to act, while
the niggardly misers will hunt for excuses
to put off or refuse.
SUCCESSFUL AT LAST.
Win. B. Hamilton, one of the directors of
the yfaquina Bay railroad comuanv. ami nun
of the most prominent citizens of Corvalli--,
called last Tuesday on the editor of the Al
bany Democrat, and informed him that the
iron and rolling stock for the first ten milvs
of the narrow guage railroad has been con
tracted for and will be shiped from Sew
York on or about the 20th of this mouth.
On account of the great depression in the
iron business all of the large factories have
shut down, and this purchase had to be
picked up at five different small concerns.
The price was, consequently, a little higher
than usual, but the cash is on deposit in
0113 of the New York banks, and will bo j
paid over as soon as the iron is received on
board ship. The iron and rolling stock will :
be brought around the Horn on a sailing I
vessel, and will arrive in San Kran, if !
about the first of May. It will then be
brought up here immediately. The contract
for getting out part of tlie ties litis already
been let, and they will all be on the ground
by the time iron arrives. Track -laying
will then be commenced, and extra exer
tions will be put forth to have the road fin
ished to Philomath by the Fourth of July,
at which time they expect to have a grand
celebration and barbecue at that place.

Oregon.
A J usttficatiox. Says the Eugene
Quota: " During the term of Mr. J. B. Un
derwwod, as postal agent, some two years
ago, a registered package sent from Myrtle
creek to Hermansville, Oregon, was lost.
Mr. Underwood went to the place, and for
several days investigated the affair, with the
only result that he was convinced of the in
tegrity of the postmaster, Mr. Gabbett, at
Myrtle Creek. No trace of the missing
package could be found. Mr. Underwood,
a few days since, received a letter from Mr.
Gabbett stating that he had received from
the special agent of the Postoffice Depart
ment at Chicago, a receipt for the package ;
it having been found in a mail pouch sent to
Chicago for repairs. Thus after a lapse of
two years the missing matter came to light,
two thousand miles from its departure and
destination, and the good name of Mr. Gab
bett is left cloudless and above suspicion.
The Ice Gorge. The Oregonian of the
14th inst. says : " The ice gorge in the Col
umbia river which has prevented the passage
of steamers during the past two weeks, is
now almost broken, and if the prevailing
mild weather continues, no trace of ice will
be left in a day or two. The steamship Or
egon which carae up to Willow bar last
week, and was compelled to return to St.
Helens, came through on Sunday night, ar
riving here at 7 o'clock next morning. Her
officers report the river entirely open. In
her trip up from Astoria last week, the Ore
gon encountered great quantities of drift
ice, and the appearance of her iron nose is
somewhat the worse from the consequent
wear and tear. The O. S. N. Company's
steamer Emma Hayward left this city for
Cascades yesterday morniug ; but was una
ble to reach a point three uiile3 this side of
Vancouver. She ran up into the ice and
found it to vary in thickness from six inches
to two feet, and the great body of it to be
firm. This gorge, which is now the only
one in the river, extends from Hathaway's
landing, three miles below Vancouver, to a
porni nve miies aDOve mat place.

en. Mr. Ger. Marshall & Co. , of Oregon
City, claim to have bought of Doty Bros.
5,000 bushels for which payment has been
made. The farmers, however, claim the
wheat, they not having sold or received
payment thereon, and in order to protect
their rights, sued out a writ of replevin.
Mr. Marshall, we understand, has com
menced a counter action, which will test the
rights of property. The farmers are in pos
session, and it seems that the amount does
not tally with outstanding receipts, there
being a difference unaccounted for of nearly
4,000 bushels. J
