THE FOURTH AT ALBANY.
At an early honr Monday morning Cor
vallis was all hurry and confusion conse
quent on the departure of the people for the
celebration at Albany. At 8:30 the steamer
"Nellie" left the wharf with the fire depart
ment of the city, and by 9 o'clock almost
all the rest of the citizens had started and
Corvallis was about as quiet as a church
yard. But at Albany the scene was a very
different one. At an early hour a perfect
atream of carriages and wagons were pour
ing into town from all quarters, and soon
the streets were crowded by a living move
ing throng, eager to get all the enjoyment
they could out of our national holiday. At
10 A. M. the procession started for Hackle
man's grove where the exercises usual on
such occasions were carried out. The offi
cers of the day were President, Hon. I .
Flii.n r-ader of declaration, Hoi. '1. B.
Montague; gran i marshal, L C. Dttkey;
chaplain, Rev. J. V. Harris. The orator
of the dav 'as Hon. M. C. George, who
departing from the usual style of orators on
itch occasion had selected for his subject
"the future of the Northwest," this he de
fined as being all that country that w?s
dr.du -i by tin Columbia. Uiver and its trib
utaries, aid stated that itpos eased sufficient
territory and material advantages to make
it one of the richest aud most influential sec
tions in the world. His address exhibited
considerable research, was well prepared
And ably delivered.' and if it possessed a
f tult it wjs the on i idea that seemed to pre
vade the . whole of his argument l hat the
Columbia River was the one outlet to the
aea for the whole of the vast country men
tioned wiiisBpeeu aud of course any friend
of Yaquii! . Bay will join issue with him on
that question. The address was well re
ceived and justly complimented by all pres-
The music for the occasion was furnished
by the Lalies' Cornet Baud and the Mechan
ics Brass Baud, and was of a superior order.
A bountiful and excellent basket dinner was
prepared in the grove quite sufficient to sat
isfy the cravings of the hungry crowd which
assembled to pass judgment on the same.
After dinner a large number of prizes were
distributed, but as they were gener . y
warded by committees selected for the
purpose, we did not get a complete list, so
omit its publication.
THE firemen's CONTEST.
At 3 P. m., created considerable excitement.
Two prizjs were offered, the first $45 for the
engine that could throw the greatest dis
tance, and second, $35 for the company that
could run across two blocks set their engine
and throw 100 feet in the shortest time.
For the first prize Young A rcerica of Cor
vallis entered fceir engine and threw first,
twice their hose burst but on the third trial
they threw 205 feet and 7 inches. By this
time the interest and excitement was great,
and No. l's of Albany took the cistern, but
only succeeded in throwing 174 feet, so
Corvallis was victorious by a large majority,
there being no other entries. At 5 P. M.
the contest for the second prize took place.
The tint engine that started being No. 2
(steamer) of Albany; they run the required
distance and threw 100 feet in one minute
and ten seconds. Next followed Young
America of Corvallis; they did good run
ning and. would have carried off the second
prize also but from an unfortunate mistake
in which no one seemed entirely to blame.
The hose cart was stopped just fifty feet
short of the proper distance; the mistake
was instantly discovered but they were
compelled to take up their hose and run the
extra distance, and by the time they got
ready again the engine was working and the
water running through the hose, so they
could not connect them and were compelled
to withdraw from the field without attempt
ing to throw at all. They got water thr nigh,
the hose in just 45 seconds. After Young
America came No. l's of Albany, who car
ried aff the prize, time one minute and three
seconds. 'This closed the public exercises
of the day, which was followed by a brill
iant display of fireworks in the evening and
a grand ball given by the firemen, at night.
Everything was pleasant. The people of
Albany exhibited that degree of hospitality
for which they are so justly popular, and
peaking for the citizens of Corvallis we say
all were more than pleased with the success
of the celebration at Albany.

AMONG THE BREAKERS.
As announced in our last this drama was
repeated but Friday evening at Hamilton's
Opera House under the efficient manage
ment of Prof. E. B. McElrov, and as we
predicted was very successful in all respects.
The drama is one well calculated to call
into play the best ability of all engaged. It
is a play that has had unrivaled success in
larger cities when played by professionals.
and was on this occasion as well sustained
in all parts as could be done by the number
of amateurs required. The east of charac
ters : David Murray, the light keeper, was
sustained by David Osborn in a manner that
brought out in all its glaring heinonsness
the revenge of years that bad been fostered
by Murray against his foster brother, Bruce
Hunter. The character of Bruce Hunter
was one of nobility and generosity, and was
personated by B. F. Irvine in a manner that
would have done credit to a professional.
Clarence Hunter, ward of Bruce Hunter,
was sustained by Walter Wiles with good
taste, and all were glad that he received his
reward by securing to himself Miss Bess
Starbright, the character of Miss S. being
performed by Miss Jessie Taylor in a man
ner that exhibited marked ability and called
forth considerable applause. Miss Eda Ja
cobs in the role of a fashionable young lady
(Miss Minnie Daze) was a success and call d
out frequent compliments. The humorous
characters were Peter Paragraph (Vineyard
Brock who seemed to have struck a happy
medium between a love-sick youth and a
hard-shell Baptist preacher. The Irish was
brought out in all its genuine merriment by
Dr. Frank Vim ent and Miss Ida Burnett,
both of whom are perfectly at home on the
Blaze, and provoked repeated rounds of
imn.il by their quick wit and ready replies,
while R. L. B rnes as Scud brought out all
the fun of the negro race in a manner and
style that almost invariably brought down
the house. Perhaps the most difficult pait
to successfully carry out was Mother Carey,
but Miss Bertha Neng.vss was equal to the
occasion and did it well. Naturally she has
an excelleut voice, and on this occasion
s' owed splendid training. The music was
specially arranged for the occasion by the
2nd Brigade Band and was of the first or
der. The tableaux by the aid of colored
lights were striking in their effect. The
audience was large and the krama appre
ciated. The receipts of the evening gross
were $51.50 and the expenses $28.12, leav
ing a balance for the Company of $23.37.
O or Band at Portland. The Corvallis
Brass Band came back from Portland after
the Band contest on . the 5th without any
prizes. This statement, in view of the fact
that they were known to have entered for
the two prizes offered, namely, the best
playing and the best uniform, may seem a
little strange to some of our people who
have a just pride in our Band, but the fact
of their disappointment was that they final
ly refused to compete, claiming manifest un
fairness on the part of the managers and
judges. It seems first that the Northwest
ern Band of Portland did not enter until the
2nd, when all entries were to be in on the
1st. Thi3 delay enabled them . to secure
several good musicians not members of their
Band to play with them on that occasion,
and also introduced into their band reed in
struments, that do not be'.ong properly to
brass bands, but that materially aid the
music when skillfully handled. These ob
jections were made by the Corvallis and
Dallas Bands, and the managers ruled in fa
vor of the Portland Baud, when the others
withdrew from the contest. Considerable
feeling was expressed by the witnesses, and
all was in favor of the Corvallis and Dallas
Band. The judges decided that Corvallis
was entitled to the premium for the finest
uniform, but as they had withdrawn from
the contest they could not, of course, secure
the prize. We are Eorry this difficulty
ar-'Se, as our b y& feel confident they would.
have been successful.
BELLFOUNTAIN
A Fatal Traoedy. A most melancholy
tragedy occured about 8 P. M . iu Portland,
on the 4th inst. Ben Cornelius, an old nnd
highly esteemed citizen of Washington
county, was shot by a Mr. Powers, who
had some ten years ago married Mr. Corne
lius' oldest daughter. It seems that from
some cause Mr. and Mrs. Powers did not
live happily together, and finally separated,
Mrs. Powers obtaining a divorce, and it was
from some trouble growing out of this sep
aration -hat occasioned the killing. Stories
conflict in regard to the shooting, but from
the best information at haud, it seems that
after the exchange of some words the son-in-law
drew his pistol and shot Cornelius
three times, and that Cornelius then drew
a revolver aud shot twice at Powers, one
shot taking effect in the neck. Mr. Cor
nelious lived about twelve hours after the
shooting, while Mr. Powers is in a critical
condition at last accounts.
On Wednesday evening Mr. John Craw
ford, of Albany, whilst repairing the Santi
am ditch about a mile from town, discover
ed about six feet below the surface of the
ground a piece of ivory forming part of a
huge tusk. Farther investigation brought
other pieces to light, and sevetal teeth and
many bones. Ultimately the whole tusk
was nnearthed, measuring upwards of seven
feet in length. The teeth were found still
imbedded in the jaw bone, and are as per
fect as when their huge owner lay down to
die. These remains, it is believed, belong
to a mastadon, one of the most formidable
of the extint animals which once inhabited
this earth.
Badly Cut. Last week while workmen
were putting up the frame for a barn for
Mr. Wm. Ryles, in the northern part of this
county, a broad -ax in the hands of one of
the workmen at the top of the barn came off
the handle, and falling to the ground struck
Mr. Kelley, an old resident of the county,
across the breast, inflicting a very serious
and painful wound, from which be is now
slowly recovering.
Music In another column appears the
advertisement of Mrs. O. R. Additon as
teacher of instrumental music. She gives
instructions on either the piano or organ,
and is an accomplished musician and experi
enced teacher. Persona desiring instruc
tion can not do better than call on her.
The one hundred and fifth anniversary of
American Independence was duly observed
and properly celebrated at this place.
At early dawn the stillness of the sur
rounding country was broken in upon by the
reverberating echoes of cannon announcing
that the day so dear to every loyal heart
had again arrived.
Crowds of people from every direction
came flocking to the grounds, until at 11 a.
m. a- sea of humanity was congregated in
the beautiful grove known as the Bellfoun
tain camp ground.
Mr. Palmer, marshal, ably assisted by
Mr. Taylor, preserved good order.
Judge Shannon, president of the day, pre
sided with becoming dignity.
The Philomath band acquitted itself with
credit, and added very much towards the
enjoyment of the occasion.
The exercises of the day began with
prayer by Rev. Wood; declaration read by
Mr. Bellknap; after which Judge Cheno
weth of Corvallis was introduced and for
an hour held the audience with rapt atten
tion. The Judge is a fine speaker, and be
gan by paying the ladies a beautiful and
timely tribute for the floral offering found
on the stand. The Judge spoke of the free
dom we enjoyed in being allowed to express
our opinions without let or hindrance, the
right to maintain and propagate new philos
ophies undisturbed even if their teachings
tended to disrupt and break down -old sys
tems and thrones; the right of universal
suffrage, free press, free schools, love of our
government, and kindred topics growing out
of the subjects enumerated above. Each
received due attention, and were ably dis-
ussed by the able and eloquent Judge. At
the close of Judge Cheuoweth's remarks, he
spoke very feelingly of the attempt made to
assassinate the President of the U. S., giv
ing to the audience the latest information he
had in relation to the wounded mans con
dition. The Judge said it is not that Gar
field is shot at and wounded, which in itself
bad enough, terrible enough, but that
this shooting is taking the nations life blood,
is a bullet aimed at the liberties of each of
us throughout the length and breadth of the
land. Many spoke in the highest terms,
and all were pleased with the Judge's effort.
Dinner occupied about an hour and then
the people again assembled and listened
attentively to a declaration by Mr. Belknap
and an oration by F. M. Johnson, Esq., of
Corvallis, both of which was favorably re
ceived. Mr. Johnson was quite eloquent at
times and evidently pleased those who heard
him. Songs for the children, base ball and
plug uglies filled in all the intervening space
of time during the day.
At evening the people went their way to
their homes, feeling that the Bellfountain
celebration was a success. Stranger.

TELEGRAMS,
FROM the oreoonian.
Washington, July 3rd. Dr. Bliss states
that examinations disclosed the fact that the
bullet entered the president's body between
the tenth and eleventh ribs on the right
-1 f lL ... ' 1 1 . . P
situ? oi toe apuiai wiuuui, anu passing tor-
ward and downward into and through the
lower enj of the right lobe of the liver, and
finally lodged in the anterior portion of the
abdomen.
This morning the physicians decided that
no effort will be made at present to extract
the ball, as its presence in the location de
termined does not necessarily interfere with
the ultimate recovery of the president.
Mr. Lincoln and Surgeon General Barnes
agree in the opinion that the ball entered the
cavity of the abdomen, after striking vital
parts, but it may have taken such a course
as not to have injured any vital organ.
Pain in the feet indicated an injury to the
spinal column. The doctors are very doubt
ful and fear the chances are against him.
The pistol was a five-chambered navy re
volver of 44 calibre. It makes a hole as
large as a musket ball. The three chambers
remaining in it were designed for self de
fense, or as some think for Blaine. Those
who stood near say that when Guitteau was
stricken down he made a move as if to shoot
Blaine.
July 6, 1:30 a. m. At this time the at
tendants in the sick room report no notice
able change in the condition of the presi
dent since midnight.
Washington, July 5. Surgeon General
Barnes says that the president cannot live.
Surgeon Hammond says that the crisis is
past.
Public anxiety about the president con
tinued at fever heat all day. Pleasure or
celebrating the fourth of July has been
thought of by only a few. A report of un
favorable symptoms this evening has drawn
a larger crowd around the White House
gates to-night than ever liefore. Anxiety
is in every household. It is remarkable
that scores and perhaps hundreds of people
adhere to the same unshaken faith in the
president's final recovery that Mrs. Garfield
has expressed. "Ho will get well," "I
know he will," "I just feel that he will. '
is a declaration of relief frequently uttered.
Persons who feel thus do not undertake to
account for their feelings on any rational
basis. They proclaim it simply as faith
that is strong within them, faith that God
who rules all nations will spare to this
country a president in whom such universal
confidence is felt, and who is so universally
admired, respected and revered by the peo
ple over whom lie rules.
Hundreds of persons from the north , s uth,
east and west have come to Washing n
since Saturday in order that they may be
ne-rso as to hear the hrst news. Jfiveiy
train brings new arrivals.
Mrs. Garfield continues to bear up nobly.
She is the only person besides the doctors
and nurses who is permitted free access to
the president. All physicians agree that
the turuing point will probab;y occur to
day. The bulletin issued this morning
showing further improvement is, in view of
the favorable turn affairs took yesterday
afternoon and evening, one of the most fa
vorable that has appeared. The president
this morning expressed himself as compara
tively comfortable. Pains in the lower ex
tremities have disappeared, leaving behind
much muscular soreness and tenderness to
touch.
Portland, July 6. At 8:30 this morning
the president was much better. He passed
a very comfortable night.
Washington, July 2. Charles Guitteau
came here in February last, with recom
mendations from parties in Illinois, to se
cure the United States consulship to Mar
seilles, France. He went in March to Mrs.
Lock wood's boarding house. He pretended
to know Gjn. Logan and others boarding
there. He acted strange at times. When
his bill for board was presented he could not
Eiy it. He left the house and sent Mrs.
oekwood a note stating that he was ex
pecting a $6000 position aud would soon pay
it. She showed the note to Gen. Logau,
who said he was crazy.
A gentleman who knew Guitteau at Mil
waukie says : During the winter of 1878
and 1879 he had a desk in my office in this
city and attempted to practice law here. Hs
had but little business. He is not a for
eigner by birth as reported, but I think is
of French descent. I used to resard him as
a little insane. He had some theory in re
gard to the Eroteric meaning ot the bible,
and claimed it was not generally understood
aright. Among those who knew Guitteau
is J ndg3 Mallorv, in whose court he had
practiced for some time. The judge stated
that he was a swarthy, ill-natured fellow,
who certainly was not entirely sane. In the
municipal court it was stated he was known
as the defender of vile women, and never
was known to have a raspectable client.
Adolpb Heveuden, a practicing attorney
who knew him while here, described him as
a dork and swarthy-looking individual, who
vas evidently troubled with hypochondria,
and was full of all manner of visions con
cerning every imaginable subject. While
here he was busy a portion of the tima writ
ing a book on morals. His mind evidently
went on contraries, for he was known
throughout the city as a wild, vicious character.
Chicago, July 2. Charles Guitteau has
been more or less known in Chicago for the
past ten years. He was a disreputable law
yer, aud has generally been considered halt
insane. He went to New York 7 or 8 years
ago, and upon his return in 1865 be pro
fessed to have been converted, and delivered
several lectures under the auspices of the Y.
M. C. A. He next appeared at the head of
a scrums to buy the Chicago lnter-Ucean,
and run it on the plan of the New York
Herald, but as he had no capital or backing
the matter was soon dropped by him. He
bored the newspapers trying to get his arti
cles punted. He failed as a lecturer and
then began life as a tramp of the respectable
order. He was branded by the hotel asso
ciation as a dead beat.- He was unusually
fond of notoriety, and would go to almost
any length to get his name in the papers.
He was arrested here once for embezzlement.
He got the idea in his head that he was fit
for official position, and has been trying
witb all his power to get a consulate at Mar
