AFTER BUT 48
OF ILLNESS
MRS. E. 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

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.

"The late Dr. Morgan Dix," said a
clergyman of New York, "had a droll
way of lightening grave subjects with
little humorous asides. Once I heard
him addressing a graduating class at
a medical school. He began in th
way: '
"Physiologists tell us, gentlemea.
that the older a man grows the smallw

the old man knows nothing and bc
young one everything.'"

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.
