COAST, BAR AND RIVER NEWS OF THE HOUR CRAFT ARRIVING AND DEPARTING IN AND FROM ASTORIA AND THEIR MASTERS, MEN AND MESSAGES Edward M. Cherry, acting British vice consul at this port yesterday re ceived a dispatch, under date of yes terday from a friend at Hoquiam, Wash., in regard to the British steamship Mathilda, her position, and condition, in Gray's Harbor: "Mathilda is ashore about six miles inside of harbor, on what h known as Whitcombe Spit. Tug Printer pulled on her yesterday, and the tugs Daring and Printer will pull oa her this afternoon. Vessel is broadside on, and the swell is very hard on her." Mr. Cherry expects another tele gram momentarily, telling of the haul on the ship yesterday afternoon; that she is loaded with 3,800,000 feet of lumber, for Melbourne, Australia; via Comax, B. C, and that if she was aground on Sand Island in this har bor, her position would be, relatively, what it is in Gray's Harbor. Word was received by the way of the United States Wireless station on Telegraph Hill that the steamer Mathilda, which was beached at Whitcomb' Spit1 was successfully floated about 7:30 last night. The report says that the damage to the vessel, if any, was very slight A bill of sale was filed at the As toria Custom House yesterday cover ing the sale of of a one-third interest in the gasoline launch "Violet," from Peter Ducich to Martin Stanovich and Joseph Morgan, for the sum of $167.

Elder ar rived down from the metropolis early yesterday morning and went to sea, with good business, after a short tie up at the Callender dock.

Maxim's Latest Invention Tried Out and Officially Approved, SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 4.- Hiram Percy Maxim's gun silencing device has received its final test at the hands of a board of officers at tached to the United States army. The test, was to determine whether it would afford protection to skirmish ers or sharpshooters advancing on an enemy. Ihc test is said to have been entirely satisfactory. The board went to the rifle butts and Mr, Maxim took the gun firer in his automobile to point in different directions from the butts. Shots were fired at various distances and in no case was the board able to determine with unanimity the direction of the shots. The discharge was inaudible, and at the shortest distance, 20 yards, and the officers were compelled to judge the direction from the whizz of the bullet. A case of prison-parole and its for feiture was exemplified in this city yesterday. a fashion that is pitiable in a sense, and, yet, which must lie directly upon the man who sacrificed what of honest and prosperous and happy future was his to realize (under the incubus of an ever-impendin j sentence) Under the la r of Oregon, this man who, for certain reasons, shall be nameless, was paroled from the peni tentiary where he was serving an in determinate sentence of from one to ten years for a crime which is also not published, and turned over to the good offices of Rev. W. S. Gilbert, of this city six months ago, by Rev. W. Sinclair, the parole officer at that institution. Mr, Gilbert became in jtcrested in the case and was moved to do all one of his calling, and na tural tendencies to the humane in all things, to redeem this man to honest citizenship, and who became his sponsor with this intent, under the provisions of the law. The parole regulations proscribe drinking of intoxicants, and allow but four successive breakings of the rule before the privileges is withdrawn entirely; and this was the block upon which this man stumbled, Mr. Gil bert had been compelled to report laches when it occurred, and yester day afternoon, his protege was again on the slippery road to drunkenness, and had to be rounded up. The cler gyman found him on the street, plain ly under the influence of liquor, but quite able, to navigate, and hailed him to the Western Union Telegraph office, where he dictated a telegram to Rev. Mr. Sinclair covering the par ticulars of the fourth and last trans gression. The man was aware of the limit he had reached and knew per fectly what was in store for him, but seemed to take matters passively, While Mr. Gilbert was sending the message, the prisoner asked the way. to the toilet and went to the base ment. Arriving there he made in stant use of a small window which opened upon the under-pinning of the street work, and went through it like a shot, springing from bent to bent, under streets and houses, block after a block, from Twelfth to Sev enth, where he emerged from the depths through some convenient trap in the red-light district and pro ceeded to enjoy his new-found free dom and licsure at his own sweet will. When he failed to show up in the telegraph office, Manager Lamar and Mr. Gilbert went below to hunt for him, and readily accounted for his flight. On the instant the police were notified and Mr. Gilbert went down the line to trace him up, accompanied by Unicer Wilson. I he man was found on Seventh street calmly en joying his pipe and made no resist ance to his re-capture and commit mcnt to the city prison. There he is and there ije will remain until mcs sangers from the big penal institu tion up at Salem arrive here to con vey him back and where he must serve out the ten-year limit of the sentence; for the violation of his parole carries with it the penalty of a complete sacrifice of everything gained under it and enforces the ma jor time limit of the indeterminate sentence. This man had been an excellent worker in the yards of the Clatsop Mill Company, and was well liked by his employers and the yard bosses, He had saved up $77, from his wages there, and this is now in the hands-of Mr. Gilbert, who will make due ac counting for it, and for the man's clothing and kit generally. ftcv. Mr. Gilbert, feels the disap pointment in his protege keenly, for he wanted to do something for a man he thought amenable to such service and such an opportunity for reform and ultimate pardon and res toration.

Perform Almost Impossible Feat of Escaping From Joliet CHICAGO, Sept. 4 Clarence Wise and James Kaiser, two Chicago convicts, escaped yesterday from the Joliet penitentiary. The men were working in the quarry, being part of the regular gang of 183 men. In some way they eluded the vigilance of the guards and hid themselves un til they could make their escape.

Another Chicago Man Tries To Get Rich Quick. ' CHICAGO, Sept. 4,-Opcrating a fake insurance swindle is the charge against William A. Devolt, arrested yesterday on complaint of Mrs. Na than V, Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy and her husband be came members of the "Reliance Mu tual Benefit League," three months ago of which Devolt is said to be the president, secretary, , treasurer, chief medical examiner, and board of di rectors. , , She was told in case of death the company would pay $1000 and for dis ability from injury $10 a week. ' J5ome time ago Mrs. Kennedy met with an accident and she went in search of Devolt, whose business ad dress was given in the insurance pol cy at 84 Washington Street.

When she demanded the sick benefit Devolt, it is said, told her the club of which she was a member did not have the required number and she would have to wait until it grew to 1000. She then had him arrested. Devolt, who is 64 years old, said his society had 165 members in good standing and that Mrs. Kennedy was the first to find fault with his business methods, TO STUDY AERONAUTICS.
