Captain Wll helml, 7$ days out from Rio de Janeiro, In ballast, arrived In yesterday after noon. She reports an exceptionally rough passage, especially during the latter part. She arrived off the mouth fix days ago. but on account of the extreme severity of the storm could not get near. She was at one time as far north hb Destruction Island. The storm had the effect of reducing her active crew by three members, one sustaining a broken ankle, another a broken arm and the third sustaining an Injury to his foot. The Llka made a very good pasange being practically 70 days from the South American port. She Is the first vessel to arrive In from that port In about two years and only come from there by accident. She sailed originally from Liverpool, but put into Rio de Janeiro on October 2nd, In distress, and lay there nearly a week, so her papers are from the latter port. Harry Coron Clarke' new play, "What Did TomUIng Do," which will be seen at Fiaher's Opera house Wed nesday evening, has to do with the administration of an estate, the ful filment of the conditions of a will, and the scenes are arranged to give oppor tunity for the versatility of Mr. Clarke, who, as a gay old boy with sober mo ments, la seen at his best. He has you convulsed with laughter one moment, and the next moment a tear Is glisten ing where you never expected to shed another. It Is always thus with trans cendent artists; so closely allied are the smile ard the sob. But Mr. Clarke's entertainment la not a sad one; the sun always shines brightest after a shower. In choosing the title, "What Did Tom kins Do?" he was most fortunate, aa the character of Colonel Tomkln which he assumes Is the principal one and his doings are the heart and essence of the excellent character comedy. It will be the most Important laugh-making production to be seen here this sea son. Seat ale opens Tuesday morning at Grimn & Reed's. Dinner Set in L3 Beautiful Porcelain.

Should Multnomah and the other dlssent ng counties rail to levy and pay their scalp bounty lax, no doubt the legislature at It next session, will pnss an act authorizing the payment of the scalp hourly from the general fund. In that case the amounts collected from thl and other counties that have paid their scalp bounty will l)e credited to them In credited to them In the general state tax fund. Contractor Houston ha been at Sea side nearly all of the past wk with a force of men to work on the Upper Ne canlcum bridge. The Incessant storms, however, have delayed the work so that very little progress has been made. The false work was washed out entailing a lim of several hundred dollars and much valuable time. 'The contract called for the completion of the bridge by ihc 19th under a penalty of a for feiture of $20 for every day thereafter, and If held strictly to the letter of the contract, the building of the bridge will prove to be hardly a profitable under taking. The settler beyor.d the bridge are complaining about the bridge not being put in, but the work Is simply Impossible In the face of bad weather. Judge n rower yesterday afternoon rendered a decision in the case of S. Nonnlle vs. the O. K. Ic N. Co., award ing plaintiff damage in the amount prayed for, vlx: $200. It will be remem bered the suit arose over a mule which the defendant company undertook to transfer for plaintiff from Portland to Astoria. When the mule reached Asto ria It was taken from the boat and tied to a plow on the above company' lock In such a way that It injured a K-g, and rendered it unfit for servlie. Among the vtuit'ons lnvolv-1 in the case was the extent of the liability of the common carrier and the validity of the contract. It appear in this case that the stock was shipped under the regular tariff rate and that It could only be shipped under such a contract as waa signed by the shipper In thl instance. The Judge ruled that while It may h competent for the common carrier to limit their liability for dam ages ever, against the negligence of thiir agents or employes, under a con train fairly entered Into, specifying the value of the freight and fixing the rate of freight In proportion to such value, yet a contract, In which the value are arbitrarily fixed by the common car rier, is void. Tlie case wag argued last week by Fulton Bros., for plain tiff, and W. C. Bristol, of Portland, for defendants. THE HALF CENT.
