The engine is com posed of four cylinder and dcvclopes 50 horsepower and it is one of the smoothest running machine ever seen in this city, in fact, running at its full capacity it does not make as much noise as an automobile. A large num ber of visitor saw and admired it yesterday, and all pronounced it a masterpiece in the gas' engine line. LAST Small Fire- Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning, the lire department was called to extinguish a fire at the Co lumbia restaurant, on Eighth street, clow I'.ond. A hurried call .was made on Chemical No. 1 which quickly responded. When the appa ratus arrived on the ground, the fire had broken through the roof, and Tiny Arrigoni tent in a telephone alarm which brought hose companies 1 and 2 in quick time. A stream was thrown on the roof but as the fire wa extinguished by the chemical en-; wa known, and liked, at every land CAPTAIN WILLIAM LARKINS DIES SUDDENLY WHILE ON DUTY IN. PILOT HOUSE ON . THE LURLINE YESTERDAY. A feeling of sadness pervaded the city, yesterday, when it became known that the Astorian had received special dispatch from Portland ttat nig that the ever popular, Captain William Larkin, of the Lurlinc, had died suddenly at Portland. The news spread rapidly along the streets and many inquiries were made at to the truth of the rumor, until it wa learn cd that the Astorian had received the newt by wire, and from an undoubted tource. Captain Larkin met hit death at hi post of duty, a post he had filled sue cetsfully for many years. When the Lurline left her dock, at Portland yesterday morning, he was at the wheel, and a dense fog covered the river. Pilot McCully and the mate were on the lookout. After whistling for the opening of the Burnside street bridge dfciw Captain Larkin called the pilot, who hastened to the captain'i side, finding him on hit knee, to which he had fallen, but with the rul ing passion strong in death he still grasped the steering lever. Other who came to his assistance placed him in a chair while Pilot McCully worked his way slowly through the fog until he finally succeeded in dock ing the boat at the Ainsworth dock. irom which point a physician was hastily summoned. It was too late. however, as the captain had passed away, almost with the stroke that ended hfs life. His body was taken to Finlay't undertaking parlor where it will remain until the funeral ar rangemcnts are made. The deceased leave a wife, who is at Nome, a aeven-year-old daughter, attending school at Beaverton, three sisters and a brother, who reside at Portland. For some time past Captain Larkin has been suffering from heart trouble and has had several attacks, one ser ious one being about one year ago, from which his recovery was slow. It is thought that the strain upon him, in guiding the boat through the open draw, in a dense fog, was too much for him with his weak heart, and he succumbed. Captain Larkin was one of the most popular steamboat men on the Columbia and Williamette rivers and gine it was soon witnarawn. l tie cause of the fire was a defective flue. A dining room on the second floor had just been painted and repapcred, and a fire was started in the heating stove, on the first floor, to burn the scraps of paper remaining. A defec tive joint in the flue, where it p.yscd through the roof, permitted ' sparks to escape, setting fire to the rafters. For a time it looked serious but the prompt arrival and action of Chemi cal 1 soon removed all danger. The lamage is estimated at about $50. Evidently Suicide- Conductor Lowe of the Portland- bound train No. 23, last evening wired Superintendent McGuire from Blind Slough that some unknown man threw himself in front of the train about four telegraph pole length this side of Mcdford bridge just east of Tongue Point. Both legs were cut off, both rms broken, and head all crushed. It is impossible to tell who the man The remains were left in charge of the John Day section foreman. Upon receipt of the news Coroner W. C. A. Pohl made arrangements for an engine and boxcar to go and get the remains. The unfortunate man was so mangled that identification was impossible. He had a hat pur chased at Danziger's and an unen vcloped letter in his pocket to "Will McClcllan, Poctor, B. C, and dated from Wyoming, May and was evi dently written by a lady. ing place, and in other parts of both states. His cheery, pleasant manner, and his kind consideration for those with whom his duties brought him in contact, made for him many lasting friends. To meet Captain Will Lar kin was to know a whole souled, strainghtforward and upright sped men of manhood. Captain Zumwaldt brought down the Lurline last night and has been placed in command of her. Born and reared in Oregon, - and having attained an age of 51 years, Captain Larkin had an extensive ac quaintance. Since a lad of 15 he has been on the river in various capaci ties. . If is said of him that he never had an enemy and was the most popu lar skjpjter, making Portland his headquarters. 1 , For the past 12 years he has been captain of the steamer Lurline, at whose' wheel he died. She belonged to Jacob Kamm and has been running regularly between Portland and As toria, leaving there at 7 o'clock in the mornings and returning at about daylight the following day. Prior to the acceptance of his posi tion on the Lurline he was master erf the old steamer Telephone, running out of Portland, which was said to be the speediest sternwheelerN in . the world. She was owned by Captain U. B. Scott, who now has the Telegraph f One t'iano Number with each $3.00. SALE toRMAN' WISE . Customer!.

Wedding at Court House The private office of County Judge Trenchard was the scene of a happy wedding yesterday . Emil Lang of Portland and Anna Wedeking .were united in marriage by Judge Tren chard. The building has not yet been furnished but the judge's private office entirely devoid of furniture was utilized for the ceremony and the happy couple no doubt failed to notice the bareness of the room. When the license was secured,' Judge Trenchard was hunted up, and, dropping the di rection of the placing of new furni ture, hurried to do his duty. It is a question whether the bride, groom or e judge blushed the most. Thus was christened Clatsop county's new court house and the best wishes of all the county officials go with the newly mated couple. ; at Suomi Hall, on February 1, 1908.
