Word was received in this city yester
day that Henry V. Duffy of Waukon,
Iowa, was murdered at that place on
the night of April 27th by a burglar who
entered his store, where Mr. Duffy had
a. sleeping room, and whom he evident
ly attempted to prevent from accom
plishing his purpose, Mr. Duffy, who
was 33 years of age, was a brother of
Miss Alice Duffy, formerly a teacher in
tbe public schools of this city, and the
many friends of that young lady, who
remember of her more than unusual
affection for this brother, will sympathy
deeply with her in this great sorrow.
The river this morning stood at 3G.6, a
rise of exactly four feet since Saturday
morning. At 1 o'clock it had reached
the 37 mark, and reports from up-river
points indicate there is enough water on
the way down to add five feet more.
By Thursday morning a pretty accurate
idea of the ultimate height to be reached
can be given, but it is not probable it
will go above the 46-foot mark, and cer
tainly not abovo 50 feet. The latter
mark would bring it almost to railroad
track. In our opinion there is no danger
whatever of water high enough to inter
fere with railroad traffic, or to do any
material damage.
Some time ago James Brown had a
row with a cripple iu the east end of
town and gave him a Eevere beating. A
warrant was sworn out for his ariest,
but he skipped. This afternoon about
3:45, Constable Hill saw him near E. J.
Collins & Co.'s and undertook to serve
the warrant, Brown resisted and started
to get away, when Hill pulled his pistol
and took a snap bhot at him. The bul
let probably went high, but at any rate
Brown stuck his gaffs into his cayuso,
(he was on horseback at the time,) and
if he kept up the gait at which he struck
the brewery grade, he is bv this time
due at La Grande.

Yesterday was a gala day for The
Dalles. By 11 o'clock the crowd began
to gather in front of the Umatilla, where
it remained good naturedly until the
first section of the excursion train pulled
in at 12:25. As the train pulled iu the
band welcomed the visitors with some
lively music, and iu a moment, the
streams of merry people began pouring
out of the cars. Nearly all of the visi
tors had acquaintances here and the
greetings and handshakings were innu
merable. A quarter of an hour later
the second section came in with fourteen
cars, the first being twelve, and the
same scenes were enacted over again.
The crowd was hungry and about the
first thing it. did was to scatter in search
of dinner. The Umatilla house was
prepared for them, feeding over 700, and
the other hotelB and restaurants were all
kept busy, though double the number
could have been taken care of.
When tbi3 part of the program was
over, the people scatteied over the town,
enjoying the shaded streets and admir
ing the pretty lawns and door yards.
Many attended the ball game, and had
the pleasure of seeing one of the best
games of amateur ball ever put up on tho
coast. Portland has a -fine team of ex
cellent ball players, but our boys with
very little practice, played them a very
qlose game, the score being 6 to 4 in
favor of the visitors. Our boys played
almost an erroileas game in the field,
but showed weakness at the bat and on
the base running. They also had a
swifter pitcher than they ever faced be
fore and he fanned out many of them,
but good work kept the visitors' score
down. It was one of the prettiest games
ever played in tho state, and our boys
may well feel proud of their work.
There was considerable of a breeze for
an hour or two and about 4 o'clock a
light rain began falling, which caused
the crowd to seek shelter and soon the
Umatilla und Columbia hotels were
filled and the covered sidewalk on First
street furnished shelter for several hun
dred. The first section pulled out at 5
o'clock, the second twenty minutes
later, each being sent off with a hearty
cheer that was as heartily responded to,
and the visit was over.
It was an unusually ordeily crowd,
there being no disturbance of any kind
during the whole day, and The Dalles
hopes to soon again have the pleasure
of another visit. It is said The Dalles
j weather always kicks up a "bobbery"
upon such occasions, and if the rain was
due to the visit of our Portland brethren,
we owe them something, for it was of
inestimable benefit.
rectors met, accepted the resignation
and unanimously elected Professor
Landers as his successor. Since that

Tho funeral of tho late Mre. William
Rufeno took place yesterday from the
Congregational church, Rev. W. C. Cur
tis conducting the services. The Degree
of Honor, Eastern Star and Relief Corps
were all in attendance, marching from
their halls to the house, and thence to
the church. Tho body, enclosed in a
white casket, was borne into the church
and was covered with white and delicato
I pink floral tributes from sympathetic
: and sorrowing friends. Rev. Curtis
sjioke very feelingly, and there were few
dry eyea in the house when he paid a
fitting tribute to the worth of tho dead.
Preceding tho sermon the choir sung
"Come unto Mo when shadows darkly
full," and following it "There is a home
eternal." The services at the grave
were very brief, and when tho mound
was heaped, it was covered with masses
of flow'ers, the silent farewells of loving
friends. '
