Rosenthal in this city last Sunday was largely attended. Many of her friends foloed the remains to tne cemetery near Albany, where she was buried. The sociable at the reading room in this city on last Tuesday evening was a very enjoyable affair, highly enjoyed by all present. The weather for the past week, and iu tact during the entire wiu.'er, has been, to use the universal expression of the ''oldest inhabitant" the mildest that has been ex perienced in many years. More like May or June, all but the frosty nights. Rev. J. R. N. Bell will go to Dixie, Polk county, to assist in making arrangements in reference to the building of a church there, and will necessarily be absent from here next Sunday. Hjwever-Prof. Emery will preach in the morning and Dr. Embree in the eveuing. All are cordially invited. N. B.

In Washington Teritory it is now " ladies and gentlemen of the jury." A regular term of the district court for Lewis county convened at Chehalis last Monday, wheD two ladies were ehosen on the grand jury. The Northwest A'ew claims to have in its possession an " absorption machine, " which is warranted to gather iu any impor tant news matter within a radius of 100 miles. A wonder.'ul invention, Bro. Cole. Through the courtesy of Hon. J. N. Dolph we have received a number of bills introduced by him in the U. S. Senate, which have been read twice and ordered to lie ou the table. One of the bills is for an appropriation of $40,000 to be expended under the Secretary of War, for continuing the improvement of the mouth of Yatjniua Bay. Dan Hill, who was lately incarcerated in in the county jail at Portland for complicity in the robbery of the U. S. mail in Coos county, is in a v ery bad condition, and it is feared that he will not live many months. In addition to having heart disease, he is af flicted with quick consumption, and is rap idly growing worse. He has been a resi. dent of Coos county since childhood, and with the assistance of friends at onetime established himself in business with fair prospects of success, when he formed the habit of drinking and gambling, which has placed him where he now is. The people at Grange Hall in this ccunty about eht miles south of this place have been endeavoring to get a postoffice estab lished at that place. They have enlisted our public men at Washington, D. C, in its behalf, and no doubt will ere long sue ceed in getting the postoffice established at that place. When established it will ac commodate a large population and will be iu the midst of the wealthiest portion of Benton county. It is the intention when the west side railroad is extended south to move the Orange Hall and also the post office to the station on the railroad which it is expected will be established near this locality. Burbanlt Interviewed. From a persouai interview with the man now coiitiued in the county jail for the killing of his father-in-law, Mr. T. J. Dennis, in the mounta 'n near the Alsea vallev recently, we tind that his name is Asa Burbank, that he is 33 years old, weighs 160 lbs. and is about 5 ft 6 inches high. Light complected, and hair and beard very light almost white. He for merly lived in Polk county, about 2J miles north of Independence, and equally distant from Monmouth. Ho lived there on the farm, and in aud about Indepen dence from his childhood until some time last fall, when he moved to the Alsea valley. He appears to be unwilling to talk of the crime with which he is charge.!. On being asked what he knew of the val uable mineral which was reported that Dennis had kliscovered on his place, be c ho tnutr nothing about it : that he had heard Dennis and family speak of some black sand, but what it was or where it was located he kuew nothing whatever. It U nnt our wish or intention to bias the minds of the pjople by publishiu. doiiaatinn fir hear-sav reuorts of this sad affair, nor do we wish to express an opin ion as to the guilt or iunoeeoee of the pris unon the many reort3 of the affair which has come to us. The grand urhih n,wu on 24th of March will no doubt give this aff ut a thorough inves tigation, and who should leave nothing undone to get the true facts and render their verdict accordingly. Burbank ex- presses himself pie ised, as well as could be expected under the circumstances, with the ireatment of the officials in charge. O P. R. R. Hews. Since oar last issue another gang of Chi namen have been added to the force already employed on the road. This week has been very favorable and work has progressed without interruption. runnel work is pushed ahead night and day. Teamsters freighting supplies to the work men report the road in worse cour'-'tion than it has been for years. Mr. S. W. Staples, formerly of this county, and Mr. M. C. Rudder, of Lafay ette, both bridge contractors, were inter viewing the Co. the'last of the past week. A Chinaman employed on the 0. P. R. R. met his death one day last week. It seems as though he was engaged in drying some fuse which took fire, and it was sup posed that the smoke suffocated him to such an exteut as to render him insensible, and the lire burued the shanty, some blaukets and a quantity of rice, aud when discovered he was dead. He is now a good Chinaman. Mel His Doom. John Elfule was hanged at Walla Walla 1 it Tuesday for the murder of Dan H.g gerty, at Precott. Before entering the ga'Iows, which was in a private enclosure, he took a look at the crowd on the outs'de of the grounds, and said : "Good-bye boys." He was very cool and indifferent, Reaching the scaffold, which was surround ed only by a few reporters and witnesses, he said: '! have uot much to say. I am guilty and will be hanged; but 1 did it to save myself. I did not intend to do it in a cold-blooded manner. I dou't know how I did it. When I first trie I to sho it I laid the gan down, and did uot think it right. I thought the g in was not loaded, but soinethiu? said to me : "If you do the deed you will go down there;" (pointing to thegrouud). 'Thad no incentive except that this man owed me four bits, aud Hag' gerly protected him. This was uot right. I have nothing more to say. I am ready and may God have mercy on me." As the sheriff was arranging the black cap, he said: "That's enough; don't bother me any more. I hope you will forgive me for trying to get awav. but I did it to save my life." The trap was then sprung. Death was instan taneous, aud his neck was broken. In twelve minutes his pulsj ceased to beat. The body was cut down; coffined and buried. The execution was privaie. Many of those who he ml his last words regard him as weak minded. Road Supervisors. The following is a list of the road super visors appointed for 1884. The TUne . atariidcic. The first iron full-rigged ship built in the United States arrived in Astoria recently, 210 days from Chester, Pennsylvania, and 200 days from New York, and it is calcu lated that she can carry 4250 tons of meas urement. She was built in Roach's ship yard in Chester, Pennsylvania, and is named after the wife of William Hardwin Star- buck, of New York City, who is her sole ww . t , - r. I owner. Her Keel was iaia in lyecemojr oi, and she has been built under an especial survey of the Bureau Veritas, and at the New York office they say that the Tillie L Starbuck is the strongest and best built vessel that has ever passed under inspection, and has received from the bureau its highest classification. Shejleft Chester Juue 13, liS3. but encountering stormy weather pu into New York to repair, from which port she sailed June 23. Breezes fohl and tern pests murky chased her over the southern Atlantic, and about the middle of Sep tember she arrived at Stauley, in the Falkland Islands, and repaired her spars which were slightly strained. From there on the 11th of October she resumed her voyage to Astoria and r jiin led the Horn in safety, beinj SDken on the 'aoirio side Oct. 28th, and arrived in Astoria ou Jan 10, 1884. The caro of the Starbuck is the mint valuable that ever left xKew York iu sailing vessel, aud is said to be the most val uable that ever rounded the Horn, and assuredly the most valuable ever crossed the Columbia river bar. Among the other little articles of bric-a-brac that adorn the hold may be mentioned twenty-two loco motives for the N. P. R. R. The large ferry-boat to be used between Ka'uma and the Oreg hi side of the Columbia is also to oe found somewhere in her hold, and is at preseut in 57,159 pieces. The total valne :f the Starbuck's ctrgo is somewhat be" tween 3300,000 and $1,003,000. -d toria . The Trouble at Pendleton Discharged railroad hands from the Baker City branch aud from the O. S. L., who claim to have time checks and can not get pay upon without going to headquarters at fortlaud, boarded the traia at fendleton last Friday, to the number of 130 or 140. They were laborers of all nationalities, and some took places in the passenger coacb, others tilled up empty cars further forward. and others kept upou the depot platform and along the train ready to do whatever circumstances should render necessary Conductor Robeson, seeing the situation, them if thev had money to pay their fares. They replied they had no money, but were going with the train all the same, He told them he could not take them, and that they must get off. They repeated their determination to stay with the train, wheu the situation was at once telegraphed to headquarters at Portland, aud it was siwested that the county or U. S. officials there ouht to do something. Sherirl .Martin could uot say that he had any authority iu the matter, especially as the train was tandiug upon the reservation, aud he has learned by dear experience and J ml Deady's legal sag wity that he has no juris diction within the precincts of Uncle Sjam domain. Many of the citizens seemid to treat the situ ition as one ludicrous rather than serious, and a few zealous ones collect ed and sent out large quantities o: pro visions for the men. During the eveuin warrants were made out charging the prin ciple o.iei with conspiracy to obstvoct the mail-, but the U. S. commission held that no sufficient offense was charged, and re 'used to issue the wa.rants. A tele'rain from headuuarters ordered the traiu he! there for the night, an.1, the nest morning the situation was unchanged, as all the men had b'ankets and. had been provided with provisions. Later in the day, however, about 100 of them left the train aad started on foot weitwa d along the ine of the rail road.

Twenty-one couple of our young men and ladies in town came suddenly in upon David Irvin aad his wife at their residence last Friday evening, completely surprising Mr. and Mrs. Irvin as they knew nothing of the affair until the guests came dropping in up on them. After the arrival of the guests they commenced dan ;ing, which continued for several hours and resulting in a very en j yable time. Job Frlatlng Offlee for sale.

The Aicata Disabled and Dese.ed. The steamer Areata which sailed from San Francisco on th i alb, in ballast, for Coos Bay to load with coa', wheu twelve nubs off Empire City, the propeller shaft snapped mid the vessel became unminae a'de. There were thirty passengers ou board, and, as the wind was blowin-i a gale at the time great excii.e-.neut eswitnd. Atter beating about for two days, unable to get assistance from shore, tao steamer Walla Walla hove in Sighi; but, for some reasou unknown to the passengers, she sailed away without taking the disabled steamer iu tow. It is supposed that the captain of the Walla Walla asked coo high an amount for salvage. The passengers mauiesced ihe ereatsst iudiimai.ion. The captain of the Arcana then provisioned the life boat, aud accompanied by two sailors started for the shore. The deaerUou of the captain f.-oun tbe vessel produced the most deijress'cg effect on the passengers, who firmly believed thev bad been left to tneir fate. Ihe I rst officer, Marshall, in whose charge tbe vessel had been left, decided to head the steamer under canvass for San Francisco. Wheu about twenty miles off the heads he was picked up by the tug Sea Kiug and safely takt-n into port. A special to tbe Oreyonian dated Empire City. Jan. 14, states that the captain landed at Mack's Arch, seventeen miles south of Rogue river ou tbe m-iruiug of tbe 10 h, aud that he and the two sailors arrived at Empire City on the morning of the 14th. Later. It is now stated that Captain Holt was only a passenger on the steamer Areata, which he was reported to have deserted. Captain Holt had important business at tha mines on the loth, and went ashore that he might be enaoled to reach his destination in time, ihe impu tation of cowardice against the captain is denied by the passengers.
