WYNNE CROSBY OF PORTLAND, SUCCUMBS TO BLOOD POISON AND A FALL The very sad intelligence reached C. T. Crosby, at the office of the Cal lander Navigation Company, yester day morning, from his wife, now in Portland, of the sudden death of the young wife of his brother, E. Wynne Crosby, a young Astorian who has dwelt in the metropolis since his marriage four years ago. It seems that three , or four days ago Mr. and Mrs, Crosby went into the mountains, out toward Hood, for their summer outing and on Monday last Mrs. Crosby met with a hard fall, and being enciente, it resulted severely She was instantly taken back to her Portland home and placed un der the care of her family physician, but the delicacy of her health, being augmented by blood-poison, brought the crisis dispite all .the skill and at tention that was lavished upon her, land she died at an early hour yester day morning, leaving her young hus band distracted with grief. She was but 23 years of age and a charming woman, with hosts of friends there, and here, and the cir cumstances of her sudden death are peculiarly grievous. The funeral will take place in Portland tomorrow af ternoon. The Rich Turkish Beggar. Beggars are never suppressed in Tur key. The story is told (and they say It Is true) about an American lady who by mistake gave a beggar of Constantino ple a goid piece. .The man bad left Cis post when she returned, bat one of bis colleagues told her where he ."resided." It was a fine house, and at the door was a servant, who politely informed the lady that "my master Is dressing. He will be down soon." And then the well groomed beggar, dressed for din ner, appeared and gladly returned the gold piece, exclaiming in the mean while that such mistakes were highly embarrassing. "Charities and Com mons." ". Force of Storm Waves. The average storm wave is thirty feet in height The highest storm waves ever measured were between forty-four and forty-eight feet high. The gigantic force of storm waves is shown by the fact that at Skerryvore lighthouse, off the west coast of Scot land, a mass of rock weighing five and a half tons was once hurled to a height of seventy-two feet above the sea lev el, while a mass weighing thirteen and a half tons was torn from a cliff seventy-four feet high. Pall Mall Gazette. Explained at Last. "The late Dr. Morgan Dix," said a clergyman of New York, "had a droll way of lightening grave subjects with little humorous asides.

HOURS Mayor Wis yesterday returned without his signature the ordinance providing for the improvement of Forty-sixth street and the building of a public pier and dock there. The object of the improvement wan pri marily ,to provide for a public land ing place, and ,the Mayor states his reasons for his veto, which is here- j with given in full: "To the Honorable City Council of the City of Astoria. v "Gentlemen: I herewith return without my signature an ordinance entitled an ordinance 'providing for the time and manner of improving Forty-sixth street from the , north line of the alleyway running through blocks 102 and 103, in Adair's Port of Upper Astoria, to a point 905 feet northerly thereof.' "The building of this street ' has been started in order to provide a public landing .in that part of the city; I am heartily Tn favor of the project and only desire to submit for your consideration this proposition: if this street is to be built at the present time mainly for the purpose of providing a public landing for the benefit of all the people, by building a wharf 40 feet by 75 feet with the necessary slips,-handrails and etc., when otherwise said street would probably not be improved at pres ent or at least not so great a distance out in the river, whether the public generally should not be required to pay a part of the expense necessary to pay for this public landing, rather than ask a very few property owners to stand the whole burthen. I there fore respectfully return this ordi nance so that your honorable body may give it further consideration, z "Respectfully, "HERMAN 'WISE, "Mayor." The Mayor's action is in effect a veto, though he states that he "re turns this ordinance so that your honorable body may give it further consideration. The Mayors objec tion is that the improvement is such that it v:H be a benefit to a large part of the population in that portion of the city, and that therefore it is not equitable to impose the entire burden of paying for it upon only a few. That the Mayor will be com mended for his action is highly prob able, and it seems evident that the members of the council probably 1-assed ibe ordinance without having their attention called to the phase of the matter which led the Mayor to lend his eto. It seems to be agreed on all sides that the improvement is one that is desirable. The people of that part of the city have now no public !aiding, and in case of funerals and other similar occasions when a lonsiderable body of people wish to lake a boat there, no opportunity is offered them to do so, save by using the Hume wharf, whose owners have courteously Accorded them this privi lege on many occasions. But at pres ent the Hume wharf may not be used and it is apparently asking too much to expect the public to use a private wharf as if it were a public one. But, in the manner that the brdi nance had been prepared, the whole cost of the project would have fallen upon the shoulders of less than half a dozen property owners said to be only five, of them. The cost would have been $4500 and manifestly this burden would not have been a fair one. It is said to be probable that the councrT may agree with the Mayor, since their attention is called to the apparent inequity of the present, and will arrange for a wider assessment district; Or, the council may possibly think that the present assessment on the very few is only fair, on the possible grounds that their property would be greatly enhanced in value because of its proximity to the public landing place. COMMISSIONER ARRIVES. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16. Commissioner Thos. Estil, who will take charge of the Salvation Army's work in the west and north, with headquarters in Chicago, arrived yes terday from Japan and was greeted by Colonels Chas. Miles and George French, the latter having come from Chicago to meet the new commissioner. Sevcntv-two complaint Jind been filed in justice court against fisher men up to the close of the day yes terday, but out of all these com plaints only live arrests had been made at dark last evening. The sheriff's began to aid In the service of the complaints last night and probably its efforts will materially add to the list of arrests.. While the water bailiffs were in momentary expectation of some ac tion being taken . yesterday to re straint them in their camptign against the fishermen, nothing hap pened and they continued at their work without intermission. A The complaints charge various kinds of alleged violations of the fishing laws. Each man arrested Ik compelled to put up the sum of $60 bail money, and in licit thereof he would be compelled to go to jail. There was some talk of the fishermen refusing bail, and in that event the county jail would not hold all the men for whom warrants have been or will be issued. The outcome of the matter is said to be quite proble matical, and the laws are so badly mixed up that few there are who wish to make any forecast of what (he end of the matter will be. Of course the principal matter of con tention will be the question of the right of Oregon officials making ar rests on the Washington side, and even againt the Washington shore, and the question of the two states having concurrent jurisdiction in the river is one that the higher coitrts will have to pass upon before a solu tion is reached, it seems probable.
