Safely Arrived.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Sherar are visiting
relatives and old home friends in Nichol
ville, NVY. His consignment of wool
has now arrived in New York. Mr.
Sherar shipped from The Dalles 275 tons

where it arrived safely Jan. 31st. 1893,
in care of Denny, Rice & Co. It is to be
transferred to New York and takes three

to Boston.
This is the first year Mr. Sherar ever
seut his wool to Boston by the water
route. The distance is 1-1,800 miles;
time, three months ; rate paid per ton,
25.
jt j8 He has formerly sent his wool to Boston

DOINGS OF THE COURT.
Divorce Granted Queen Patten
Prom
Eldon Patten.
At the circuit court this afternoon,
after excusing the waiting jurors until
nine o'clock tomorrow, the court pro
ceeded to the consideration of the suit of
Queen Patten for a divorce from her
husband Eldon Patten. The reason al
leged was cruel and inhuman treatment.
The testimony reported by referee Wer
rick disclosed many cruel acts on the
part of the ' defendant, running over a
period of about two years. He had
threatened to cut his wife's throat and
to burn the house over her head when
she would be asleep, and had attempted
on one occasion to kill Br, using the
usual weapon of the negroes, a razor.
Patten was aleo shown to be a drunken;
worthless sort of man who -would not
work so long as he could force his wife
to provide food for him, and had spent
a large portion of hia time in Portland,
spending his evenings with the dusky
demi-monde, who frequent the White
chapel district. After hearing the testi
mony, J udge Bradshaw made an order
granting a decree of absolute divorce,
and the care of her children. Patten is
the same man who was arrested a few
weeks since for assaulting his wife with
a razor and for which he spent a term in
the county jail. .He disappeared when
released, and has not since been heard
from. :

An Opening Has Been Made at

DRIFTING MAJESTICALLY DOWN
Kennedy's Boat Injured The D. P. &
A. N. ' Co.'s Loss Blocked Also '
at the Cascades.
The ice commenced breaking below
the dalles of the riyer today and drifted
down, forming - a Veritable- river glacier
in miniature. The main bodv of the
ice at this point has drifted down about
one hundred yards and the old trail
across the river looks funny in conse
quence, being disconnected from the one
on terra firma.
The Inland ' Star, which was put on
the river last summer by Mr. Kennedy,
is damaged considerably. The accumu
lating ice has torn off her rudder and
carried it down stream, and it is thought
it is cracked from stem to stern, but the
latter fact cannot be definitely ascer
tained until the ice, which has forced it
over on its side and blocked the space
up, has gone. .
The damage sustained by the D. P &
A. Nav. Co. is not great, the only effect of
the mass of ice being to incline some of
the springing piles, which can be reme
died -when the river is open. It is not
thought the ice will interfere with the
Regulator, but if the danger arises, the
boat can be pulled up. further on the
bank out of danger. . . -
The river is also blocked below the
cascades.
CARD PARTY.
A Very Enjoyable Evening By the
Devotees of Whist.
A number of the members of Union
Whist Club being absent last evening,
on account of the commencement of the
Lenten season,' the host and hostess,
Senator and Mrs. Hilton, took ad van
tage of the . opportunity to show their jj
young friends just how much the mem-
bers of the "married whist club," as iti
is termed, enjoy their weekly meetings,'
andjfrota the, number of -resolutions'
made by the young people -present to
abandon their present state of 'single
blessedness" and be "jiners," it is evi
dent they were greatly pleased with the
evening's pleasure. The time passed
very quickly in playing twnty-five
games, and Mra. . Briggs seemed more
than pleased when presented with the
daintest gold bonbonniere spoon as first
prize; but Mrs. Glenn was perfectly
willing to be a booby., if all boobies
carry away the most beautiful souvenir
spoon to be had. Mr. Herrin, the pho
tographer, arrived on the scene some
minutes -' later and everybody smiled
while, with the aid of the flash-light,
they were, 'tooked." . Among those who
enjoyed the evening were Senator and
Mrs Hilton, Judge and Mrs Blakeley,
Mr and Mrs Hobson, Mr and Mra Lord,

TIRED OP LIFE.
Hush Southerland Kills Himself After
Returning; From a Ball.
' News waa received in this city today
of the sensational death by his own
hand of Hugh Southerland, Goldendale.
The fatality occurred about .midnight of
Tuesday, during intermission of a ball
at the Goldendale hall. He had been
drinking during the evening, but it is
not supposed that the sole cause of hia
action was due to inebriety. He seemed
to be enjoying himself in the nsual man
ner, but at 12 . o'clock -went home, and
there, within earshot of his wife,' 'fired
the shot that ended his life. The pistol
used waa a 32-caliber. .
