went down the bay; but returned uj
about 9 o'clock and stayed for an hour

In deference to iU presence and force
there is a fleet of ten vesssls in the

THE FOARD 8 STOKES CGi
WHERE TEE NEW THINGS ARE FIRST INTRODUCED.
Brotheri from Lewit and
River in tbt Bay.
The two brothers Machado, of Lewis
and Clark river, came down from their
little ranch on the south of the Astoria
peninsula yesterday, by boat, to the
city, for a load of lumber and some few
household supplies. It took them until
nearly 5 o'clock in the afternoon to get
their lumber and other purchases aboard
the boat whhh lay at the slip just East
of Fisher Bros.
At that hour they started home with
well laden boat, the lumber being
especially heavy and piled fore and aft.
They lift the slip and hauled her out
into the tideway beyond the dock, when
an altercation between the brothers as
to the expediency of raising the sail
took place, the man desiring to sail
ome overpersuading the man who
though it safer to pull home. Tlx sail
was set and had not even had a chance
to catch and draw, when the whole con
cern was bottom up in the bay.
Both brothers are exjH-rt swimmers
rid this stood them in hand, as the
scene of their mishap is a dangerous one,
the inset tide run at that point being
ery severe.
Their plight wa known instantly and
everybody in the neighborhood was busy
at once devising ways to (lh them out.
At this juncture the Mayflower came
along headed for her slip nearby, and
the men were soon aboard and their
boat towing astern.
The Messrs. Machado came, ashore,
dried their clothing, fixed up their boat,
and proceeded to take it easy for the
night. Oars, lumber, provisions, every
thing looe about the boat, were gone so
they concluded to renew the effort this
morning, tnd with infinitely better luck
it is hoped.

Attorney Chlckering, of San Francisco,
Sayt He Received no Money.
Sun Francisco, Nov. I. Attorney W.
II. flickering said last night in refer
ence to the testimony given yesterday
by Samuel S. Mefurdy, at the insurants'
investigation in New York;
"It is true that I represent the Mutual
Life here as a legal adviser, but that I
was paid $17,300 is ridiculous and false.
I happened to be In New York at the
time referred to in the New York dis
patch. My son was dangerously ill in
a hospital at Y'onkers. That was the
reason for my being East at that time,
It is true that I met Governor Budd in
New York at that time. We discussed
insurance matters with the Mutual Life
people.

Son Lost Mother.
"Consumption ruts in our family,
and through it I lost my mother," writes
R. B. Reld, of Harmony, Me. "For tht
past five years however, on the slight
est tlgn of a cough of cold I have taken
Dr. King't Nw Discustry for Con
sumption which hat ttved me from
serious lung trouble." Ilia mother's
death wit a tad lost to Mr. Ried, but he
learned that lung trouble must not be
neglected, and how to cure it. Quickest
Our conference had reference relief and cure for coughtt and colds
to the attitude of the then California in
surance Commissioner, A. J.C lunie, to
wards the life insurance companies.
"You see, Clunie was insisting upon
both life and fire insurance companies
living up to the letter of the law. He
was a little bit ugly, in that he made
much of trivial and technical matter.
We had one dispute with him. When
the late A. B. Forbes was general man
ager for the Mutual Life here, Clunie
found that some of the men on his bond
were dead. He insisted that if Forbes'
bond as' not renewed with additional
bondsmen that Mutual life policyhold
ers in California might suffer. There was
nothing in this contention of ('lunie.
However, his request was reasonable as
to perfecting Forties' bond and it was
complied with.
