Mr. and Mr. John If. Whyte re

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

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

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. ;
