Linnton's Cannery Near Portland Totally Destroyed by Fire. The horse tannery at Linnton, eight miles below Portland, was burned to the gronnd Saturday night, entailing a loss of $15,000 to its owner, S. Kinsman. He cairied insurance to the amount of t-5000. The Linnton horse pickling works was a two-story frame building, and covered 150x100 feet of ground. U was erected in 1S95 by a company of Tortland men, among whom were Thomas Papworth, Ben Selling, L. May ind others. Sever al hundred cayuses were butchered at the works every fall, and the meat placed in pickling barrels and shipied to Norway via New York. As a corporation the concern never made money, and a few years ago Mr. Kins man, who had been manager, bought out the other stockholders. Since then the enterprise has been" yJyins twitter, and was recently considered a prosper ous concern. Since the rieniug of the apple crop this fall, Mr. Kinsman has been canning. apples for shipment abroad. About 30 hands wen employed at the business, and these will be thrown out of employ ment that would have lasted all winter. It was the owners intention next month to begin the slaughtering f cayuses for the Norwegian market, but it is not now decided when the factory will be put in operation again, if at all. The fire will practically ruin Mr. Kins man, as a large amount of canned ap ples and pickled horse were still on hand, besides several hundred dollars worth of salt, tin, etc. The canned ap ples alone were valued at $ 2500, and these were awaiting the arrival of boxes for shipment. The pickled horse meat was also to' be shipped within a few weeks. GENERAL NEWS. James Younger, the famous outlaw, committed suicide at St Ful, Sunday morning by shooting himself.

Some domestic sizes were sold at the schedule rate of $15 a ton, but many dealers made prices to suit customers, selling as low as $12 a ton, in many ca.-es and advising them to get along with as little as possible until the prices could be reduced again. Soft coal was selling far below the schedule prices of $0.53 a ton. In many cases the dealers were selling it at $4.50 a ton, and were not makinglarge sales even at that price.
