An iwi iileut that might have ended in dUaotiY and the lo of life, occurred lut Thiiriulay morning when the gov ernment Lighthoue tender Columbine collided with Umatilla lightship So. 73, off Cape Flattery, utaving in the port id of the, llghthip midway between the niainnuiht and the atern, and Inflict quite aevere damage. The Columbine' liow wa lient Inward for fully a foot. Luckily neither ahip utalned any danuige Udow the water line, T,he Cotiimbine arrived In hi't night from her trip along the coat to supply the different light tat!on and reported the accident , At the time the collision occurred 1 heavy ea wa running. The lighthouse tender which wa bringing Hupplie to the lijiht, had approached rather cloxe. when a heavier ea than uual carried her forward with uch uddvnnea ahe atruck the lij;litiihlp head on, before a move could be made to turn aide and avoid the mahup. The Columbine wa Immediately backed away, and the Injtiriea of both hip examined. The l!ghthlp, though the aide wa mahed in considerably, utained no Injury below the water line, though the will likely be compelled to enter port to undergo repair. The damage to the Columbine will neceaaitate her being ent into dry-dock where the damage can be tended to. Captain Richardson, of the Columbine could not be found last night and no statement wae obtained a to when the blame lay for tbe accident. Mem ber of the crew, would aay nothing in thi connection. An Inquiry and Inspec tion will no doubt be made by govern ment official Into the circumstances of the affair. About a year ago the Manwnit was in a collMon and the lighthouse tender Heather but a short time ago suffered some minor damag from an accident of a similar nature, and it almost seems that some sort of a hoodoo hang over lighthouse tender in this district. In Police Court A gentleman of color, wa dame Barbour, who smilingly faced Judxe Anderon yesterday in pohe court to answ er a charge of being drunk. It was all due to the unlucky number 13. which landed Jame behind the bar o he erted. "You see, jedge, I'se only had $13, and this was onlucky, eo I goes down to one of thee hear crap games, expect in' to win enough to make it lucky. Ma luck wasn't there tho and to stedy me nerves IVe takes a few jolts, and when I wakes up, I was in jil, and ma money gone." Two days were administered to James for reflec tion, on the evils of trying to change his luck. Ewald Zimmerman, on a vagrancy chargo pleaded not guilty and his case wa continued over until tomorrow. He bus retained Howard Brownell to de fend him. Tom Wilson, a vagrant, was fined tftO and will probably leave town. DECK AND DOCK NEWS. Tho steamer Roanoke arrived In Inst night from Son Francisco with 128 pas sengers, Including the following for As toria : Mrs. G. C. Flint, Charles Murphy, Ous Krinkkoncr, S. Tapio. Kadio Tapio, Oeorge Remjohn, 0. Drown, J. Tapis, Mr. V. B. George and Mrs. M. u MarsgjiJl. The captain reports a fair trip up with good weath until jester day. The Roanoke has no trouble with tho longshoremen here and proceeded up the river to Portland at 2 o'clock this morning. There Is a positive cessation of marine movement on the Columbia river and on its bar. Thore is not a word of news from Portland, and only two bottoms crossed the big barrier yesterday. It does not mean anything especial; it just happcni so for the day. The steamer F. A. Kilburn arrived in from San Francisco, yesterday morning with a big list of Portland passengers, and she went on to the metropolis with out any delay here. The oil tank steamer Asuncion came down from Portland yesterday morning early and went directly to sea and San Francisco. . ' By a simple Invention of which the purport 1 to make a railroad spike when it I driven Into tie "stay driven," C. A. Pbelp, an Idaho man, hope to build up an important manufacturing Industry, and to lengthen the life of the ordinary railroad tie from four year, a it i now, to ten yean. Not only would be thus cheapen the cost of main tenance of a railway, but by allowing the use of cheaper grades of wood for tic, he would lessen the cost of con struct wn. Mr, phelpi waa recently in Astoria where he endeavored to Interest a number of people in hi- invention, v.lth a view toward establishing a plant here for the spike' manufacture, but met with a small degree of success. Fiom here he vent to Seattle where he wa successful in hi quest for a loca tion. Tbe Seattle P. I. in this connec tion says: Machine to manufacture thi spike will, it is expected, be ready in about six weeks. They are being built In Seattle. Negotiation! are ia progress for a site for a factory at Kirkland. and the factory, it is stated, will be there, if the iteel mill proposed by James A. Moore is erected. For the Eastern trade tbe spike will be manufactured by a railroad supply firm on a roythy. Tbe spike itself and the results of teU mode at the University of Wash ington, are thus given by J. R. Morrison, deputy in County Surveyor A. L. Valen tine's office, who is interested in the company which will handle the inven tion. "The Phelps spike consist! of two pieces, the large member being tbe same a the standard spike, except that the upper part is a trifle narrower from front to back. About three and a half itches down from the head the spike assume iU full standard size by a curve of easy radius. Tbe second mem ber, or feather, is about four and a half inches long, tapering from the head to thin edge. "The spike is first driven into the tie against the rail in the usual man ner, and the feather then driven close against the back of the Sfike; when the point of the feather reaches the curved off-set in the spike its course U deflected. The tests at the university showed: t Holding power in red fir, average rate of growth fourteen years per inch: Maximum load sustained Standard 5i inch spike 2223 lbs. Phelpi 5 inch spike 3289 lbs. Holding power in Alaska spruce, average rate of growth nine years per inch: Standard 61 inch spike, lbs 2223 Phelps 5J inch spike, lbs : .3280 "The result from the Alaska spruce test will be a surprise to many, and especially to some Aaska railway build cis, who condemned this timber as be ing too soft, and have, at great expense, shipped fir ties from Seattle to Alaska, "The efficiency of any device for hold ing the rail to the ties is, however, not proved by any tests for resisting a direct pull. "The loosening of the spike U caused not so much by the rail flange acting as a lever, as by the failure of the fiber of the wood, due to the jar from moving loads on the rail, destroying the friction and allowing the spike to work loose. This point seems to be fully covered by the tapering form of the 'feather,' which is not at first driven to refusal, but allowed to project an inch or more above the surface of the tie. An occasional light tap of the sledge on the feather would effectually prevent any loosening from this cause." Monument Arrives. Yesterday the steamer Kilburn brought in a fine monu ment for the grave of the late Rev. Hyltuid in Ocean View Cemetery. The steamer Telegraph came down on time yesterday with 51 people for As toria, and left up at 2:30 p. m. .

Yesterday morning the 13 employes of the Astoria Iron Works went out on a strike. The cause of the strike had nothing whatever to do with wages nor hours, but was based solely on the issue of the employment of a non-union me chanic. It neems that some time ago a Finn J went to work in the shops as a machin ist, who was neither a good mechanic nor a union man. His presence was not resented by the members of Astoria Union. No. 20, I. A. of M., but he was urged to get a card, either from the place he claimed to have worked at his trade back east, or to join the union here. He could do neither the one nor the other. He bad tried for a card back there, he said, but it bad been denied him on the ground that be was not a iron worker under the requirements of the union; and the union here rejected him on the same identical score. - - The situation was anything but pleas aut for him at works here, as he was not qualified in any way to mingle with the men on a union or a workmanlike basis. He approached one of the opera tives the other day, by the name of W. R. Gk?nnon, aaid said he believed he would quit, and take up some other line of employment, until he could square himself as a master workman; and Glennon told him it would be the best thing he could do. He went to the office and demanded his time, and on being questioned as to his reasons for quitting, said that he haol been told to quit, and when asked who had told him thi he referred to Mr. Glennon. Glennon was called to the office and paid off at once, and the Finn retained on the rolls. This forms the sole basis for the ac tion of the men, who have nothing else in the world against the company, and are all tried and competent men who have been with the concern for more or less long periods. There was no effort to dictate in the premises, and the men struck simply because a union man and an excellent workman was dis SIKCW r AKSRKA. charged over a non-union and incom petent man, who could not talk enough English to make himself rightly under stood at the office. It U said that the boss of the shop has to sharpen every drill the Finn uses, to utterly incompe tent ii he in the trade. Just what the strike will eventuate in remains to be seen. Tbe men are perfectly willing to take up their work in the event Mr. Glennon is restored to bis bench and the Finn discharged. The company disclaims the operation of the union rules at the works and relies entirely upon the efficiency of the skill of the men seeking work there. . READY FOR VISITORS. Tillamook People Are Preparing to En tertain Large Crowds. Mr. B. Sculley of this city is in re ceipt of the following letter from Ralph Accley. secretary of the Tillamook County Street Fair and Carnival Com mittee, relative to the accommodations or those wishing to attend the fair from Astoria: Mr. B.
