The following letter received yester day, by Collector of Custom V. L.

THE FOARD NEW GOODS ONLY The steamer I.urline, while en route from Portland to this city yesterday, had the misfortune to smash both her port cylinder-heads. She was just rounding into Marker's landing at 12:30 o'clock p. m. when the steel cros head abaft the port cylinder cracked open and fell apart and the piston shot on through the cylinder carry ing away both heads and shattering them to frag ments; it dashed forward through two wooden doors and a bulkhead through two up its career at the oven door of the big range in the galley, bending and twisting the steel door until it will not half close. On it forward flight it caught the second cook Chin Lung, on the right shoulder and back, breaking three ribs, and bruising his right leg slightly. Captain Larkin immediately lowered a bout and sent it over to Stella for Ir. Barker, who was soon on board and gave all needed attention to the in jured man, who was taken to a state room and made as comfortable a pos sible under the circumstances. The ac cident caused but little excitement aboard; in fact, many of the 30 passeng ers did not know anything had hap pened until told of it after the steamer wa again umler wa. The Lurline came down on verv fair time, arriving here at 8 o'clock. She made sixteen revolu tions to the minute with one side work ing and made her usual calls en route. She left up with a good freight manifest and after a week devoted to repairs will resume her run, the steamer I'ndine, in the meantime supplying her tun. At 2 o'clock vesterdav afternoon the Columbia bar lightship, Xo. 5 strand ed for the past eight days on Peacock sands, was hauled into deep water by the steamer Melville of the Callender Xavigation Company, her own crew aid ing in the pleasing outcome by a line made fast to a mushroom anchor, stationed by the Melville yesterday noon.. As soon a the beleagured ves sel was on an even keel in Bilker's Bay the Melville towed her to the dock at Fort Canby where she was made secure. There she will await department or ders, which will arrive soon, and it is thought providing for her dry-docking ami refitting at the proper time and place. The work of saving her has been well done, and she is in comparatively excellent condition. She is leaking some but rwf enough to seriously impede her progress to Fortland, if that be tTie official i-uie. Make Your Preparations Now , to spend a pleasant as well as a profit able winter.

Captain Byrnes and Chief Engineer Wilson of the light house tender MaiiMiiita, left today for Seattle to bring lightship Xo. 67, which is completing repairs at Seattle, to tlie mouth of the Columbia river, where she will take the place of lightship Xo. W. Lightship Xo. 70 is now taking the place of Xo. (17 at Umatilla reef and will remain at her present station till Xo. 30 is ready to go luk to the mouth of the river. Xo. 30 recently broke adrift from her mooring at the mouth of the river and went aslioie, was pulled into deep water today and brought to this city. The steamer Telegraph was nnVcd at her Callender pier berth yesterday. She is undergoing certain changes in her motive power department at Portland, and will lie off the run for a week or perhaps longer. The change from coul to oil burning will make a radical sav ing to the owners, it costing X0 per day to drive her with coal, while oil a fuel will coot but $31 per day, and give her the same power and speed n heretofore. Word was received in this city yes terday afternoon that the steamer Sue 11. Klmore had arrived safely at Tilla mook City, iu the teeth of a heavy northeast gale, with a smashing sea In-hind at the bar. The Callender Xavigation Company's steamer .Ionian will be laid off the Cathlamet run for a few days to have her bottom seraed, and her hull and housing painted afresh. The Vanguard will take her run in the interim. The steamer Whittier arrived in yes terday morning from San Francisco en route to Portland. She came up the bay under a full head of fog and drove her stem into the Smiths Point sands, but worked herself off in a short while, and continued her oily way to Port land, "tanks" to a good stout engine and men who knew how to handle her. The steamer Eureka from Portland for San Francisco, with 2.WK) tons of grain arrived down yesterday morning and passed out to sea. The steamer Cascades from San Fran cisco came in yesterday forenoon and left up for Portland. Tlie steamer Despatch was another ar rival from San Francisco. She docked at the Callender pier and discharged a few tms of freight, and left up for Stella where she will drop another con signment, after which she will proceed U Portland and discharge her cargo, going thence to Vancouver to load for the Hay City. The ship Henry Villard left up for Portland yesterday morning under tow of the Harvest Oueen, the hitler ves sel carrying al-o a cargo of 2.VX) case of salmon.

The bar pilot-schooner Joseph Pulit- r.er will, it is expected, have down for Fort Stevens dock today, where the fin iliinir touches will be put on her and r - she will go out on her station in the next 48 hours. The schooner Sacramento was wrecked on Sunday last on the ojien coast four miles north of Coos Bay. She wm lumber laden, from Marslitleld for San Fraij isco, and carj and, vessel eke totally lost Captain J. M. Ayers, manager for the Oregon Rafting Company, of Stella, and here in charge of the stranded sea raft in Younga Bay, informed a reporter of the Aatorian yefHerday aft)rtnoon that the contract between his company and the concern operating the dredger that waa to have undermined and float ed the huge bunch of piles, has been cancelled upon orders from San Fran cisco. It is barely possible the raft may cut herself out of her present bed of sand, her tremendous weight accel erating the action of the tides in this behalf." Her bow w'kter Tor 79 feet aft has deepened remarkably in the last few days. If this does not transpire, another big haul upon her will be set up on the high tides due here on the 28th, 29th and 30th of the present month, and in default of her freedom then, she will be allowed to rest where she is until spring, all proper precau tion Wing taken to safeguard her and the shipping entering and leaving port. C. K. Mitchell, receiving clerk on the Callender disks posted a big white and black sign at the dock entrance yes terday momlg, Waring the legend "The steamer Telegraph wil not run between Portland and Astoria for one week." About 1:30 p. m., a man walked up to the sign, read it carefully, and then strolled up to Mitchell's window and blandly asked him "how soon the Tele graph would get in? " Mitchell had a sitasm ou the sHt and the poor strang er is still wondering why tlie Telegraph didn't come down yesterday. The British steamship Coulsdon is due here from Portland, today, enroute for the Orient. HAPPY RESULTS Hart Made Many Astoria Residents Enthusiastic.

Roeler, I'nited State engineer in charge of the district, and Captain Albert Ro, aitant lighthoue inspector, arrived In Astoria on the A. & C. train lust evening, and this morn ing will leave for Fort Canby, to make an inspection of the lightship Xo. .V, and erfect arrangement for her re moval to the drydock for repair. Both Major langtltt and Captain Ro stated that they could not dleu in telligently, the condition of the light ship, until they hal made a survey of the veel. They stated however, that the veel would I" taken to Portland for repairs that might be found ncoes- sury. They considered it doubtful if the ve-sel could be floated until the high tide on the 2th of the prvsent month. The plan i then to drag her through Baker' Kay, and bring her to deep water at the head of Sand island. While diftiing the lower river pro ject freely, Major Roessler refused to make a definite statement regurding the condition of the bar. "All we know, i what we know of ficially," he susd, "and that ha Wn said before. "When the department lat took sounding, some time la-t .lune there wa ti' feet on the bar, at mean low tide. How the condition ha changed since, I of cour-e know noth ing. "But do you not think, Major, Unit the bar him V hae shoaled, a the result of the removal of the dredge Chinook,' ttu a-ked.

The big dredge will not I operated during the winter mouths. But when the weather is favorable she will again resume work it may be next summer and it may, not." Major Ris-ssler's attention was called to the fact that along the lower river it wa the coiiis'iinim of opinion that a north jetty wa needed in order to effect a sufficient deepening of the bar, and that resolutions along that line had been passed by the Astoria Chamber of Com merce. H replied that there was no change in the status of the north jetty project, as far as the department was concerned- that it was the Intention to construct the north jetty as soon as the south one was completed, but that funds must first be availalle." Captain Rosa stated that light house tender MunzaniU, which was sunk off Pugct Island, in a collision with the dredge Columbia, would be raised, but at the expense of the Tort of Port land commission. "According to the testimony of the captain of the McCraken, the master of the Manzanita was In no way to blame. I understand that they propose to resort to law, but never the less they will un doubtedly pay for the raising of the ship."
