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. The three owned the vessel in
equal shares, and the two partners
will continue to run her for all there
is in her.
The steamship Geo. W. 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. She was
followed a little later by the steamer
Eureka, bound for Eureka, Cal.; and
these were the only two vessels to
cross the Columbia bar yesterday.
The weather was thick and heavy all
of yesterday and the' reports from
North Head were rather barren of
facts and interest as" to ships.
The steamer Chas. R. Spencer was
doing her customary passenger stunt
yesterday, bringing down 24 people
for this city, and going up with 66
'among whom were Mr and Mrs. E.
C. Holden and their daughter, Mrs
Chas. H. Callender, Miss Dora Badol
let, and Mrs. Perry Trullinger. Cap
tain Geo. Wood, of the bar pilot ser
vice was also a passenger, en route
to Eugene, when he will attend the
annual convention of the Oregon
Shriners.

gasoline motor schooner Delia, flag
ship of the "pup" fleet of freighters,
Captain Robert Jones, commanding,
entered port yesterday evening, from
the Nestucca, with her customary load
of cheese and supplies, and docked
at the O. R. & N. piers. While pass
ing the Tillamook Rock light, the
Delia was hailed by the lightkeeper,
and informed that that station was
out of coal. Captain Jones passed the
word to the authorities at this port
as soon as he got ashore. She made
the round voyage in 48 hours, 24 of
these beine spent in the harbor at
Nestucca.

today after the barkentine Puako and

SILENT FIREARM.
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. WILL DISINTER BODIES.

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

FOR FAKE INSURANCE.
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. No one,
at that number had ever heard of De
volt or the "Reliance Mutual Benefit
eague." ,','"
After several hours hunt Mrs, Ken
edy found Devolt in a tumbledown
boarding house at . 165 Nineteenth
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,
