McGregor's home, up Tongue Point way, when the ladder he was working on, broke from its fastening on the ridge of the roof and both went down the steep incline with no chance for Mr. Allen to check his fall. It was a good 30-foot drive and as he neared the eave he had swung head-downward, but managed to leave the roof feet first. He struck on his left hip and wrist and both are badly wrenched. Mrs. McGregor at once summoned the ambulance and Mr. Allen wa taken to his rooms in Uniontown and a doctor called in who soon made him comfortable. He wilt be out and around in a few days if no complications set in. Mr. Allen happened to be at their Gray s River ranch, and came home last evening to be with her husband. ALL BUT NINE OUT OF 221 WORKERS INVOLVED RE TURNED TO THEIR JOBS YES TERDAY MORNING. Yesterday morning all but nine of the 221 men involved in the (alleged) strike went back to work at the gov ernment jetty at the mouth of the Columbia river, and thus was averte a disagreeable and far-reaching con-' dition of affairs.

The first num ber of the journal, issued in magazine form, has reached The Astorian, ana is well printed and highly creditable to the young men fiehind it. The ob ject 19 the issuance of a monthly magazine devoted to the engineering matters and to the work done by the engineering alumni of the college. ;The first number contains articles ; that are apparently of real value. I There seems very little that is 1 "amateurish" about the publication, I anM its inception and first issue seem to bespeak a fine future. Artillerymen' Drill The drill of the First Company, Coast Artillery, O. R. N. in Foard & Stokes' hall last night was a decided success and the men made a far bet ter showing in their first appearance as a company than had been expect ed. There were only one or two ab sentees. The company fell in at 8 o'clock and first went through squad drill, and later Captain Abercrombie took the men in hand and put them throueh a company drill. The offi cers were highly pleased with the work done and it is thought that in a very short time the company will be in first-class shape, though it is rec oirnized that it -will take hard work and arduous drilling to accomplish all that should be attained. Captain Abercrombie announced appoint ments as follows: G. A. Darland, acting first sergeant: Guy R. Os borne, acting second sergeant; Carl Franseen, acting third sergeant; A. J. Schroeder. Quartermaster; and Priv ates Rogers, Bergman, Basil, Steven son and Steele, corporals. On Aug ust 6 will be held a competitive ex amination, when two more sergeants will be appointed, and five corporals. Robbed The Scow- After returning from a fishing trip of several days, John Enckson re turned to. his scow at Schmidt's Cold Storatre dock early yesterday morn ntr anil found that someone had broken one of the windows and stol en a suit of clothes and about three dolars" in money. The suit, which was a new one, belonged to a friend of Erickson's by the name of Andrew Anderson, who had it in Enckson s scow for safe keeping. A man by ft nam nf Tohnson who several wepk's airo was boatpuller for Erick son is accused of the 'theft, as it is claimed he was the only man that knew about the clothes. A pipe was fnutiH in the house boat that, it is said, was at once recognized by Erickson as belonging to. Johnson. It is impossible to tell just what time th- Vohherv took place, and as John inn has not been seen for several Havs. it is thotieh that he has already skipped this part of the country. , The police have been notified and are furnished with a sample of the cloth that the suit was made out ot, ana as the cloth is of an unusual pattern it will be easily recognized in case the thief sold it to anybody in this city. for a few days to ee if he would not recover. . 1 Timmons is not a drinking man and apparently has lead .an orderly life. The cause of hia mental break down could not be traced with any degree of exactness yesterday. He talked freely, but more or less inco herently, and kept asserting that he was being watched'and followed. For the preceding two nights, he averred, the police had been watching him at the Astoria hotel. A a matter W fact the police had paid no attention to him in any way and knew nothing of the mental affliction that was grow ing on him. Recently Timmons took a trip to San Francisco, going by steamer, and he alleges that while at sea the Astoria police sent wireless messages to have him arrested upon his arrival in the( California metrop olis. As is very common in mental derangements, Timmon's dementia also takes a religious turn. removed to Portland where Mr. Bos worth is anxious to have him taken as as soon as possible. Dr. Fulton now says that he has every reason to believe htat he will recover without any permanent injuries that would cripple him in any way. He was resting quite easy yestreday, suffer ing very little pain, excepting when he couched, at which time the jarring of his body would cause considerable pain. The awful crush he received may cause the congestion of his left lung, but this, it is thought, will be overcomed and will not develop into any serious results. llO HOgl a Parlori Second Floor Over Scholfield & Mattaon Co. j One Lone Ship , !

S. Bosworth, who arrived in tne city Tuesday night to care for John N, Stademan. who was injured by the Rose City Monday, returned to Port land on the evening train last night. He said that Stademan has been in his employ for something over a year as driver of his automobile, and that Stademan was on his way from San Francisco to join him at Portland. Two fine hunting dogs belonging to Mr. Botsworth were being taken to Portland by Stademan. When seen at the hospital yesterday Stademan was In a much better condition than on the day before, and his complete recovery now is only a matter of time. Dr. Fulton says he expects to see the patient able to sit up in bed in about ten days, but it will be at least three weeks before he can be New Books at Library- Following is a list of new books that have been received t the public library by Mrs. Upshur, the librar ian: 'Somewhat Good," by W.

The above are mostly juvenile stories and were purchased out of the supply fund appropriation. the work at the jetty, in obedience tm the Presidential letter directing that a half-holiday be given to all day la borers on government work throughout the country, during the summer, and on Saturdays, could not, under the terms of that letter and authority, grant this privilege (nor its alternative, time and a hair in the event the day laborers worked on that afternoon) to the locomotive engineers, as these operatives are not classed as day workers on the roll and roster at the jetties, but work from month to month on salary. The engineers resented this alleged dis crimination and refused to work on last Saturday afternoon, unless they were given time and a half for the period. This was also denied them, for want of authority, and they refus ed to go to work on Monday morn ing, and very many of the men wh were amenable to the privilege question, sided with them and also refused to take up the work. The matter was widely discussed among thoe concerned, and a com mittee was sent to this city to secure the legal aid of Messrs. Fulton Bros, the lawyers, to press the claim m be half of the engineers and their sympathizers, but in the absence of U. S. Senator Charles W. Fulton, hi brother, and partner, G. C. Fulton, declined to take the case, for very ex cellent and proper reasons, and the men returned to the jetty and re ported. Further review of the situa tion on the part of those thus con tending, resulted in the abandonment of the olea. for the time being, and the work was started again yesterday as above stated. . This is the first time in many a long day that anything like a serious trouble has arisen at the jetties, and that it has been adjusted, and work resumed, relieves a decided strain there, here, and at the quarries up the river, which must have shut down had the contest been persisted in; the boats and barges used in transporting rock must have been stopped, and the ramifications of the try-out would have wrought general disaster all over the lower Columbia generally. There is a fine body of men in the government employ at the jetty, and probably unmatched m the country for sobriety, steadiness, and capa bility, from top to bottom and throughout. The very fact that these men have relinquished their adverse attitude, even if it be temporarily, sneaks' volumnes for their judgment and tolerance and their sense of the importance and gravity of the work they are doing: and it is broadly hoped that what issues have arisen m thu matter may be subsequently and sat isfactorily adjusted, without further recourse to the threatening and im peding processes of a strike or simi lar imperative operations.
