Something Pending The newt reached this city yester day, of the arrival at Portland of President Hawgood, of the Portland, Oregon & Seacoast Railway Com pany, from Lot Angeles. It has been known at this office for several days that Mr. Hawgood wat coming north and that there wat something in the wind in relation to that enterprise that is to open up the Nehalem coun try, but particulars were denied. Mr. Hawgod will likely be in thit city to day, when tome cheerful newt it expected. From The Capital City Webster Holmes, one of the lead ing attorneys of the Capital City, wat a business visitor in Astoria yester day, returning to Salem, on the even ing express. He took an hour off yesterday afternoon to make a de tailed examination of the Clatsop's beautiful court house, which he pro nounces the finest thing in the State and says the circuit court is one of the ideal chambers of the kind on the Pacific slope, there being nothing to approach it in dignity of appointment thit tide of Salt Lake City, where he avers, it hat a rival. Deniea H la Dead Upon what wat deemed excellent authority,, the Morning Attormn, a few days ago announced the death at Clatskanie, of Fatsey Coe, formerly well known in thit city at an attache of the Hotel Parker. Yesterday, friends of Mr. Coe received word from him, direct, that he was not dead nor thinking of dying, but quite well and cherishing the pleasant thought of making a visit to thit city at an early day. The Attorian regrets that it, and its informant, were misled upon so gruesome a subject, and is as glad as anyone to know that, for once, its news was not reliable.

KINNEY T Dead at Fablola Sanitarium In Oakland, Cal. WIFE AND BROTHER WITH HIM Dlatinguithed Citizen of Oregon Honored Member of the Great Craft of Medicine and Surgery Orlef Manifett on All Bidet. Dr, August 0. Kinney, of thit city, is no more! The tad intelligence of hit death reached thit city last evening at 7 o'clock, and came by wire from Dr. Alfred Kinney, who with hit sister, Mrt. Eliza Puyton, of Rcdlands, Cali fornia; his brother, Marshall J. Kin ney,. of Portland; and the devoted wife, Mrs. Jane W.Kinney, wat at the bedside of the doctor, in the Fabiola Sanitarium, at Oakland, California, when the dread summons came. Ever since the 10th of the present month, when it was known that Dr. August Kinney had undergone a ser ious operation at that famous institu tion, for kidney trouble of long stand ing, there has been a notable current of anxiety hanging over thit com munity, where the deceased physician was profoundly revered, as one of its leading and most public spirited citi zens, and the news, though not en tirely unexpected, wat received with deep torrow, on all tidet. Accom panied by the kinsmen named, the re mains will be brought north, leaving San Francisco today, and the funeral and interment will be held at Salem, where the family owns a plat in the Odd Fellows' cemetery, and where a number of the elder generations of the family were laid in final rest; the following members of the family go ing from here tomorrow to attend: Mrt. Jane Smith and Mrs. Joseph E. Walker, of San Francisco, the latter now a guest at the home of Mrt. Smith, and both tistert of the lament ed dead. Hon. John H. Smith, and A. M. Smith, of this city, nephews of Dr. Kinney, being now at the Capitol City on business, and who were ap prised of the tad circumstances last evening on their arrival in Portland, having left here on the 6:10 express. It is a difficult matter to state the real estimate in which Dr. August Kinney wat held in this community, where for the better part of two gen eration! he hat figured as the friend, the student, the healer, the guide, the man of affairs, the leader, and cham pion of all things that were for the good of humanity. His gentleness, his culture; his active mind always charged with some high purpose; his unfailing kindliness, and strong, prac tical, loyal devotion to the city and state, made him at once a conspic uous and honored type of the very best citizenship known, here, and all over the State of Oregon. His death is taken as a personal loss throughout this city and county and this concep tion of the fact is justified by the breadth of expression incidental to the receipt of the news of last night. Burdened for years with a malady of his own that defied his own deep knowledge of medicine and physics, as well as that of his brethren in the great craft .this man, brave and as piring, gave up his troubled years to the noble quest of a mastery of still another merciless disease, tuberculo sis, and this search he pursued, in and out of season, with a devotion rarely equalled and yet crowned with a measure of success that has made him famous in two hemispheres, as his latest acquisitions will demon strate when they shall be published to the world. Astoria mourns him sincerely, and with a grateful sense of the good, the honor, he conferred upon her always. The doctor was born in Muscatine, Iowa, in July, 1845, and was therefore in his 63rd year. He was a son of Robert C. and Eliza L B. Kinney, and with his parents, crossed the plains in 1847, to Oregon, the family settling in the Chehalem Valley, in Yamhill County. There he grew to boyhood, attending school at Forest Grove and at McMinnville, always with the ambition to enter the career of medicine and surgery, which laudable hope was fulfilled when he was admitted to Willamette Univer sity and there passed the prescribed course with brilliant success. Later he went to Bellevue Hospital, in New York City, to perfect himself in his chosen calling, devoting two years more to study and during which time he was appointed to the position of physician on the house staff at the "You can't look foolish in a Wise Suit" V X" ' tZ SSw iSQ4muii if tfu - B i lata 1 1 ujy i- jAf"t,jfe,-1,fii ' r r i 'if vr - c;. ; .

Returning to the Pacific Coast he entered upon the practice of his pro fession at Portland, later coming to Astoria, where he made his home through all the rest of the years al lotted to him; and where, in 1866, he married Miss Jane Welch, who still survives him and mourns his . loss most grievously. No children were born of the union. DrT August Kinney has always been notable for his deep interest in the great enterprises that contributed to the expansion of the State. He wat one of the men who strove val iently for the building of the jetties at the mouth of the Columbia river; he was in the forefront of the huge work of the locks at the Cascades; his influence was large, and unflagging in the inauguration of the Astoria & Columbia River Railway, and in many another far-reaching enterprise, his hand and heart was engaged for the good of the whole people. In this city, there is scarcely a public move ment of moment that does the indelible impress of hi interest and practical help. to this universality of thoug tivity that he owes, and owni grateful memory of all Oregon, Dr. Kinney and his wife have spent the winter in Europe where the doc tor visited all the universities where they were experimenting in his spec ialty of tuberculosis. He was return ing hom by the way of California and when he was too ill to proceed he went to the Fabiola Sanitarium. nesses until a late hour, Manager Hanlin, of the Astoria opera house, announces that in all big events here after, he will hold the curtain back until the hour of 9 o'clock; and this will be the case next Saturday night on the occasion of the presentation of "The Burgomaster."

Harry Jackson's latest success, as presented by the Holden Bros. & Ed wards Company is considered the best melodrama now playing at popu lar prices, and bids fair to do a big business at the Astoria Theatre, Sun day, March 29th. Both press and public throughout the country agree that it contains more heart interest, stirring climaxes, and better scenic effects than any drama produced this season. It is easy to understand this when one takes into consideration that Mr. Harry Jackson, the author, chose for his subject! the best char acters and strongest situations con tained in Charles Dickens' great story. David Copperfield. And by adding to these some novel ideas of his own has manufactured a play far above the average. Among the many nov elties introduced may be mentioned the great shipwreck scene, the hand-to-hand fight in the storm, the old ship turned upside down on' the beach where dwells the famous old Peggotty family, and the village churchyard in winter, in which scene is introduced the greatest dramatic situation ever achieved by two women characters, viz.: Rosa Dartle and Emily. The play abounds in beauti ful situations and stirring climaxes, and the patrons of the Astoria wiS no doubt enjoy the Dickens play.
