EVIDENCES OF CRIME.
INQUEST OVER BODY OF
MADELINE LONCTAINE WAS
HELD HERE YESTERDAY.
The jury' of six nu n impanelled to'
investigate the death of Madeline
Longtaine, the Cathlamet girl who
died at St. Mary's "Hospital' several
days ago, yesterday afternoon re
turned a verdict at follows: , .
"We, the coroner's "jury impanell
ed to inquire into ill cause of the
death of Madeline Longtaine, do find
that she came to her death on Dc
cembcr 10 from the effects of a
criminal abortion performed by par
ties unknown to this jury."
The Jury was composed of J. W.
Welch, A. R. Cyrus, M. N. Adams.
D, R. Blount, R, Carruthers and W.
A. F.igner,
Inasmuch as the jury was not
enabled to have all of the witnesses
before it, some of the presumably
most important being residents of
the State of Washington, it appar
ently was not able to reach any defi
nite conclusion as to the real perpe
trator of the operation. , The prin
cipal witnesses examined were one
or more AMoria physicians, and one
lady from Cathlamet. The prosecut
ing fttorney's office of Wahkiakum
county was not represented, and
while an attorney from that city ap
peared and wihed to hear the pro-
eroding, apparently in the interests
of some;rivate client, the jury ob
jected to his presence, and he with
drew. All of the testimony was
heard behind closed doors, and each
witness was heard separately. The
jury evidently believed it had done
its full duty in ascertaining and
pointing out in its verdict that a sta
tutory crime had been committed,
anc! the only noticeable thing about
lite verdict is that it uses the word
"parties," the plural indicating that
perhaps more than one person were
involved by the evidence. Still the
term in its plural signification may
have no special meaning.
The mother and the young: man to
whom the young girl had been en
gaged were present during the day.
The inquiry was held under the di
rection, of Coroner Cilbaugh. Last
evening the body was sent to Cath
lamet, and the funeral will take place
today. It is said that the evidence
yesterday tended to show that the
criminal operation had been per
formed so unskilfully, or by such an
unskilled hand, that this fact might
have tome bearing in indicating in
a very general way as to the iden
tity of the guilty persona or person.
It is presumed that the authorities
of Wahkiakum county will now take
the matter up.
Important Meeting
The regular meeting of the Cham
ber of Commerce will be held tomor
row night at 7:30 o'clock. As there
will be but one more regular meeting
before the election of officers which
will take place on the second Mon
day night in January, it is probable
that the subject oi nominations and
planning for next year will come up
for discussion in some form or other.
It has been tentatively suggested that
a committee on nominations and plans
might with benefit be appointed at
this meeting, especially as it may be
desirable at" this time to ascertain
the sentiment of tli members with
regard to the continuation of pub
licity and advertising work. This
promotion and publicity work now
under way is only arranged for un
til April 1st,

School Football
What prove'd to be a poor produc
tion of football was played up at the
A. F, C. grounds yesterday between
Taylor school and a portion of the
Sliivcly school team, as (he larger
part of the Shivcly team did not show
up and they had to run in boys who
did not sinderstand the signals. The
field was very muddy and wet, which
caused a good deal of fumbling on
both sides, and also an unnecessary
amount of 'discussion. The halves
were of short duration, but in the
hint part of the last half the Shively
boys began to get together but it was
too late as the Taylor school boys
had already made four touchdowns
and the game ended in the score of
20 to 0 in favor of the Taylors
New Hospital Association
Articles of incorporation of the
Lumbermen's Hospital Association
were filed in the office of the county
clerk yesterday afternoon, this being
a newly organized association for
the purpose of Insuring against bad
health and accidents, principally.
The incorporators are W. F. Mc
Gregor, Frank Patton and E. M.
Crawford, and the officers named are
W. F. McGregor, president; P. J.
Brix, vice-president; E. M. Crawford,
secretary and general manager, and
Frank Patton, treasurer. The office
of the concern will be in Astoria.
Mr. Crawford, who will be the gen
eral manager, has long been asso
ciated with the National Hospital
Association, whose principal offices
are in Portland, and he has resigned
from that concern to take active
charge of the new association. Among
the very vnumerous lumber . camps
along the lower river it has long been
a practice to Insure the employees
against accidents, and scores of men
who have met with accidenti in the
camps have found their insurance a
great blessing. The new company,
however, will take out insurance
among many others besides the men
in the camps.- It is distinctively an
Astoria concern and undoubtedly
will have a fine future. The office of
the new association will be in the
Bank building.

of Ackerman and Gordon, Twenty
second street manufacturers, accord
ing to the police. The work was
done apparently by a gang in the
early hours of Friday morning and
as only the choicest furs were taken
it is the policy theory that a woman
expert selected the booty. The stol
en furs were passed through a hole
in a brick wall made with the aid of
a crowbar and a pick. The hole was
too small to permit of the entrance
of a man's body and it was first sug
gested that a boy accomplice was
used, but the finding of a woman's
handkerchief gives color to the be
lief of feminine assistance. So great
was the quantity of furs taken that
a wagon must have been necessary
to cart them away.
SAVANT RETURNS.
With Numerous Specimens For Mu-
8eum in New York.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-Dr.
G. A. Dorsey, curator of the Guild
Museum of New York arrived here
yesterday on the Pacific Mail liner
Korea with a large collection of
valuable scientific specimens which
he has gathered in the Orient for the
museum. Dr. Dorsey began his in
vestigation in Egypt where he un
covered the tombs of the fifth dynas
ty. He spent some time in India
where he made a study of Hindoo
culture. The curator soent a large
part of his time in Australia where
he made a study of the museums of
Melbourne and Sydney. He crossed
the Island of Bougainville which he
said had never been explored by a
white man. This island which is in
the Solomon group is 60 miles wide
and it is so densely wooded that he
was five days in crossing it. The
doctor said that the natives of the
islands are entirely uncivilized, wear
ing no clothing and sleeping in the
hollow trunks of trees and holes in
the ground.
Dr. Dorsey made his largest col
lection on the coast of New Guiena
where he gathered an extensive lot
of native implements. He will pro
ceed directly to Chicago where he
will place the collection in the Field
Museum. v
