According to J. W. Relth there Is not

a somen hut closer degree than it the
case at the present time. The tele
phone company has not yet been spoken
to In regard to the matter to whether

when the sense of the resident Is made
clear there will be no opposition from

coming front Ireland In 1876 and set
tling In New York city, whore she wa
mnrried. Later she and her husband

The British ship County of Linlith
gow Is now at the quarantine station,
having been towed there Monday
morning. The work of discharging the

not be for a few days. The smallpox

tended to and until every chance ot the
disease spreading Is eliminated the hold
will remain closed. The patient has
been given a thorough bath, It now Iso
lated and the living apartments of the

The pioneer blacksmith of the city,
George A.' 8tlnson, hat been missing
for four days and there are grave fears
entertained at to his safety. Indeed
there It little doubt but that he hat
either met with foul play or hat fallen
accldently into the river and been
drowned. The latter theory 1 gener
ally conceded to be the more practic
able ot the two. The missing man wa
last seen Friday night at the foot of
Nlntli street. At the time he was
somewhat under the Influence of liquor
and It would have been an easy mat
ter for a man In his condition to have
fallen Into the river, at aober men have
made a misstep In that dark locality.
Mr. Stlnson' relative are naturally
greatly exorcised over his continued
absence and will be grateful to anyone
who will give any Information a to
his whereabouts.
The Joyous melody . of a babbling
brook can hardly create more satis

discovered plot an unusual element in

uatlons, jokes tnd other amusing fea
ture. The bunch of pretty girl In
millinery dreams, the songs, dance and
specialties form a bill long and good
enough for a single evening. Sullivan
and Mack and dainty Marie Trumbull
stand at the head of the catt and keep
up a "rapid fire" of fun while they are
on the stage. Seat sale opens Saturday
morning tt Griffin's book store.

A Are occurred In the tierplng apart
ment of the milk depot lost night
about 1:30 o'clock that was fortunately
extinguished before serious damage
had been done. The odor of burning
clo'.h attracted a neighbor and at soon
a he cause was ascertained an alarm
wot turned In. The cause happened
to be a burning bed. No one wot In
the room at the time, but the occupants
had been not long before, and It it
supposed that the remnants of a burn
ing cigarette had started the blase.'; 3.
H. Jeffert and hit associate, William
Johnson, were not far away and hurry
ing to the scene pitched tbe biasing bed
Into the street. Aside from some ruin
ed elothms; thta was til th damage In
flicted, so It was not necessary to make
us of the Ore department. - There it a
family residing on the upper floor of
tb building and the members became
ronelderably wrought up over the af
fair, one young lady fainting away la
her excitement. . .
A ripple of excitement wo created
among the hillside residents In the
neighborhood of Grace church "yester
day by the report getting abroad that
a ctazy man was at large and wot pre
pared to do all sorts of diabolical deeds.
Sheriff Llnvllle was notified and after a
careful search captured hit man. The
patient proved to be'a young man by
the name of Geddet and he lives in the
vicinity of the Clatsop mill. , It seems
that Mr. Geddet received a paralytic
stroke about a month ago and the at
tack has left his mind In a weakened
condition. Yesterday afternoon he left
his home and started down town. His
wife protested to his going out, but
without result, and to tht distracted
woman, accompanied him. When they
reached Prael and Cook's stables the
couple separated, Mrs. Geddes hurry
ing on to notify the proper authorities.
The demented man did not give any
evidence of being violent and was cap
tued without particular difficulty. He
Is now lodged in the county jail and

' "If this old pump gun of mine doesn't
beat that f7C0 gun of Tallant'tf 111
throw it In th bay," announced Sheriff
Llnvllle yesterday afternoon, at a lit
tle party of Rod and Gun club enthus
iasts made Its way to the ran com
pany's dock. Will Tallant's gun Is a
marvel of beautiful workmanship and
ha attracted much attention ever since
he bought It. . Yesterday ft wa agreed
that Clark Lougnery and Frank Cook
should try out the Tallant gun, and the
genial sheriff, proud of his duck-slayer,
went along for the test. On the way
down Lougnery and Billy Martin de
termined that the sheriff should be
Jobbed, o Martin, who attended to the
targets, proceeded to fix thing about
right for Llnvllle. The sheriff's gun
is a crack-a-Jack, and" Lougnery select
ed It for the first shot. Martin In the
meantime reduced the site of the tar
get for Tallant's gun and placed It un
der that prepared for Llnvllle's gun, to
that the sheriffs pattern appeared al
so cn Tallant's target. The trick was
very neatly played, and twice the fake
test was made, with tbe result that
Llnvllle's gun made a very poor show
ing. The sheriff did not "tumble" at
the time, although the worried look on
his face denoted the he tuspected
that something was wrong, and he
shouldered hit gun and took hit way
homeward, a very tad man. N. D.
Bain, who wot also with the party, had
secured a cheap gun from A. G.
Spexarth, and in firing No. ( ahot it
made the best ahowlng, greatly to the
delight of Bain, whose handsome 1175
gun is In Portland.
