He wa in the hospital about ten days and died of old age and general de bility. The deceased was a native of New York but came to the Pacific Coast at an early age. He was one of the oldest fishermen on the, Co lumbia river where he fished until a few years ago when he became too old to do much work. Since that time he has been living in a scow and picking up what little money he need ed to live on, by mending nets for other fishermen. The arrangements for his funeral have, as yet not been completed. On Cleveland's; Death Mr. John Adair, who is widely known throughout Clatsop county as one of its oldest residents and as one of its leading Democratic citizens, said last night that he could not help but feel the death of former President Cleveland keenly ,as do others here who voted for him and admired his career in the President chair. "Al- 'hough away out here on the Pacific . . . ... Coast, we, too, feel the loss of Mr. Cleveland and sympathize with the members of the family who survive him." said Mr. Adair. "I was glad to Secondary Company Formed Articles of incorporation of the Oregon Coast Railway Company were filed in the office of the county clerk yesterday afternoon. This com pany is formed for the apparent pur pose of standing in the relationship of a sort of holding company to the recently formed Astoria, Seaside &1 Tillamook Electric Railway Com pany. The incorporators of the new company are W. E. Buffum, H. G. Van Duscn and E. Z. Ferguson, who were also incorporators of the orig inal company. The capital stock of the secondary company is $10,000, divided into 1000 shares of $10 each. The purposes of the new organiza tion, as stated in the articles, are ap parently virtually identical with those of the original company. Burglar Escapes Officer Houghton while making his round last night about midnight got sight of a burglar in Rolston's shoe store, but the man who ever he was saw the officer first and made his escape through a back window where he gained entrance, Mr. Houghton says that last night as usual he tried the door of the slioe store to satisfy himself that it wa locked, and as he placed his hand on the knob of the door he noticed a light inside but didn't Uiink much of it at the time, supposing that some one of the firm was doing a little overtime work, when at the same time a man passed before his view making a bolt for the back part of the store, where he made good his escape. This quick move ment on the man's part aroused the suspicion of the officer and he imme diately went around to the back part of the store to investigate. After a little difficulty owing to the dark he found one of the back windows brok en where the burglar got in. Luckily the officer arrived on the scene in the nick of time, before the robber had a chance to steal anything. An investigation is being made and the man may yet be caught.

UNION GAS ENGINE COMPANY, F. P. Kendall, .....I c... ASTORIA ASKS FOR SQUARE DEAL BUSINESS MEN AND OTHERS 2ESENT THE ACTIONS OF THE RAILWAY COMPANIES- The announcement made yesterday by the management of the O. R. & N, Railway Company, as told by The Astorian, that the steamer T. J. Pot ter will run direct from Portland to M eglcr's, without touching at this port at all, has naturally caused the sharpest kind of comment from local business men. It looks as if the O. R. & N. forgot for the moment that As toria is on the map. The city of Astoria has a popula tion that approximates 15,000. The passenger traffic between this city and Portland daily is a considerable one. For the steamer Potter to touch here daily on her runs would mean that she would hardly have to go five miles out of her way, and would thereby hardly lose an hour's time at the outside. How the O. R. & N. management can afford to do this is- not very clear to men at this end of the line. That the Potter could work up a consid erable passenger traffice between Portland and Astoria is a plain proposition, especially since the ves sel is now scheduled to leave Port land at 8 o'clock each morning. In former days no one could tell with any degree of cerainty just when the sailing would be made, and as a re sult passcngersfor this city naturally did not accustome themselves to look for the O. R. & N. sailings. But with a definite hour for daily departures, there seems to be no reason why the passenger traffic should not be a material source of income to the Potter. It may be stated in defense of the railway company, that it is virtually impossible for the Potter to make her daily runs if she were to touch here; but there seems to be no reason why she cannot easily cross the river in an hour's time. To cross the river would require only a detour of a few miles when the tide is low, and when the. tide is high she can cut straight ill.iu. iv line ii nidjr lc uaiuiai iui the company to evince a desire to keep its passengers on the other side ; of the river entirely, to the end that , none of them may be diverted from the O. R. & N. trains, nevertheless J that may prove a short sighted pol-i icy. The Hassalo makes the run I daily now, and with the Potter touch-1 ing here, there would be a vastly improved service. The business management of the water lines of the O. R. & N. seem to' have overlooked the fact that their beach business may last only for a few months, while Astoria is here at the mouth of the Columbia river for 12 months out of the year. Agents of the O. R. & N. lines have frequently complained of the loss of business that they suffer from the other ves sels that are running independently and oftentimes the complaint has been coupled with the intimation that Astoria should "stand by" the O. R. & N. wate rlines. And now after all this the O. R. & N. tops the whole matter off by castiTig this final riiat ter in Astoria's face literally ignoring the city's existance.. Perhaps Astoria has not learned to properly resent such "slaps"; and in a few days there is another "slapi" coming, this time by the A. & C, whose new schedule goes into effect in a few days. It used to be that one could go to Portland on a business errand and remain there until the re turning train left at 7 o'clock in the evening. That gave the visitor six or seven hours in Portland. Later the return time was placed an hour earl ier, namely, at 6 o'clock. Then still another little slice was cut off, for the new schedule announced puts the re turn time at 5:30 o'clock. And while in the old days it only took three hours and a. half to make the run home from Portland to Astoria, from 7 o'clock to 10:30, now the passenger is to leave there at 5:30 and get in Astoria at 9:20, ten minutes less than four hours to travel a hundred miles. The Astoria trains now do all the little way station work on the North ern Pacific from Goble to Portland, that the other trains used to prop erly aid in doing. And leaving Port land at 5:30 o'clock, the hurried visi tor naturally is pleased to find that there is a diner on the train as a part of the new arrangement. His dollar for the diner dinner will naturally put him in excellent humor for the haste of his departure-and for the slower trip that he is compelled to make back to Astoria. . 1 The " pew Astoria and Columbia trains for the summer will run through to Seaside, and Astoria is glad that Seaside will reap the bene fits of the through trains, but at the same time it looks as .if this city should be considered just a little by the management of the A. & C.

A third man, Joe Terva, is also want ed but could not be found yesterday. Kortti and Salajarvi were locked up in the county jail and will be arraign ed today. Kortti says that was his real name in the old country, but that he goes by the name of Andrew John son in this country. It is said to be somewhat doubtful that Walquist will want to prosectuethe case, but a strong eiort will be made to have him do so, as the authorities are tired of the dis position shown by certain of the foreign born residents who make every effort to hush such matters up outside of the courts. . Walquist was severely cut up. It it understood that both of the men in the county jail admit that they were present dur ing the affray, but claim that it was Terva who did the stabbing.
