We have received from the publishers,
the Zeno Manvais Music Co., of 769
Market street, S. F., a copy of the new

ranged from tbe popular song of that

not very difficult; the theme being dis
tinctly brought out and embellished.
It is being played .everywhere by bands
and orchestras, and has, though a new
composition, already won a wide popu
larity. This march will be a welcome
addition to the musical library, as it is
not at all commonplace. Your dealer
will supply it. Forty cents a copy.

A dispatch received today from Hon.
W. R. Ellis says the senate resolution
appropriating $20,000 for tbe immediate
use at the Cascade Locks has just passed
the house.
. Having passed both houses of congress,
all that now remains is ta get the signa
ture of tbe president, which in this case,
is a mere matter of form. The whole
amount will thus be at once available,
and will be used to complete the middle
lock. Work at ths. Locks has been
temporarily stopped , on account of tbe
high water. r
The contractors have sent for a 40-foot
dipper and will start the dredger again
as soon as it arrives.

Smith states, says the Oregonian, that
on December 10, 1895, be engaged pas
sage on the steamer Dalles City, which
was then lying at a floating wharf at
Cascade Locks, and was on board of the
boat with other passengers, and that at
the time J. G. and I. N. Day were -en
gaged in blasting rocks. Smith co
plained that they well knew that the
passengers on the boat were in danger of
being struck with flying pieces of rock,
and, by their negligence and careless
ness, he says, he was hit by a piece of
flying rock, occasioned by a blast . from
giant powder, producing rupture of the
drum of the right ear, and causing
paralysis of the muscles of both eyes and
destroying the use of both . eyes, and
causing great and irreparable damage to
his head, ears and brain, and which in
juries he believes are of a permanent
character. ,
Smith further alleges that be was
taken by the defendants, after the acci
dent, to St. Vincent's hospital, and that
he has expended otherwise $50 in
medical treatment. He charges The
Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation
Company with, imprudence in permit
ting the steamer , Dalles City to be
moored in proximity and within reach
of the blasting. ......
Smith in conclusion says he was for
merly a robust man, and is now inca
pacitated from performing his accus
tomed business and labor. ,
It is thought in The Dalles that while
the D, P. & A. N. Co. is a party to the
suit it, is very doubtful if the eharges of
carelessness made .by, the defendant can
be successfully maintained.
