Port Townsend reports a violent thun
der storm Tuesday, a very rare thing for
this time of the year. A thnnder storm
generally does its own reporting.
The weather continues showery, but
the rainfall is very light, not enough so
far to do any damage, or even to stop
threshing more than an hour or so.
On the wharfboat this morning was
a large lot of lounges and furniture,
which made it look like a parlor. It is
the most elegantly furnished wharfboat
in the Northwest.
Hard luck comes to all of us. The
Hon. Ml S. Quay of Pennsylvania has
lost his railroad pass over the Pennsyl
vania & Fort Wayne railroad, but then
he will perhaps be able to get another
prices, and, as a consequence, hundreds
of bushels will rot on the vines, as the
hot weitber has ripened them very fast.
By the breaking of a bridge with a
steam threshing outfit in Washington
county Thursday morning, the engine
and wagon were thrown into a ravine
fifteen feet deep. Rufus H. Norman
was killed instantly and a man named
Harkins was badly scalded by escaping
steam. The latter may recover. ,
Dan Murphy's United States district
attorney term of office expired Tuesday.
Should he see fit, Associate Justice
Field, of the United States supreme
court, may appoint a successor to Mr.
Murphy, said appointee to hold office
until the permanent officer selected by
the president qualifies.
Messrs. McNair and Giles, of the
Cline prospecting party that went into
the Olympics in July, have come out.
The party made five locations on mineral
claims, and Mr. Cline, instead of accom
panying the returning pilgrims, has gone
in on another stream to prospect for
mineral. Samples of the ore from the
claims located were brought put for as
say. Dr. B. E. Fernove, chief of the forestry
division at Washington, D. C, and A.
J. Johnson of Portland, forestry col
lector, were in Albany Monday, on their
way to Mount Jefferson and the head
waters of the North Santiam. They
bad just returned from a trip to Mt.
Shasta, the Josephine county caves, and
Crater lake, where they obtained many
valuable specimens. Mr. Fernow is
looking over the timber reserves of the
West, and his trip to Santiam is for
the purpose of acquainting himself with
the value of the timber and the lands
along the river, so as to report intelli
gently upon the question of restoring to
settlement a strip of the reserve along
the river and railroad.- They will re
turn in a few days and make a trip to
Mount flood, Blue mountains, and
afterward the Rockies.

The veriscope last night at the V
presented the Corbett-Fitzslmmons con
test to a fair-sized audience, in a manner
that pleased all. Outside of the subject
of the photographs, the life-like pictures
considered as a triumph of American
genius, were well worth the money it
cost to see them.
When it is taken into consideration
that 143,000 distinct photographs were
taken by the use of electrical appliances
in fifty-two minutes, that these photo
graphs were developed, and being placed
in another electrical machine, are made
to pass a given point at the rate of
2700 a minute, and that each photograph
is stopped for an instant in front of the
lens, and that too each within the one'
hundredth part of an inch of the same
spot, it may well be considered one of
the most wonderful inventions of the
age. N
The pictures are very life-like ' and
from the time the first one was thrown
on the screen until the last one had dis
appeared, the profound silence in the
big hall told the eloquent story of the
absorbing interest the scenes awakened.
We do not believe in prize fighting, but
in the pictures the "manly art" seems
robbed of its brutality. The science
displayed, the grace and quickness of
action could not fail to awakes admira
tion in anyone.
Corbett was particularly active and it
hardly seemed possible that a person
could dodge, advance and retreat as
quickly as he did.
Fitzsimmons was somewhat slower,
but his blows were tremendous.
Some doubted the pictures being ac
curate, that is, thought that the move
ments were in the pictures more rapid
than in the real battle. This is not the
case, as the pictures were put on the
screens at the same speed they were
taken into the machines, that is, three
minutes to the round.
Mr. Wheelock who explained the
pictures! between acts, is a very pleas
ant talker and interested the audience
while new films were being put-in place,
it reqniring four sets to show the four
teen rounds and the scenes at the end of
the fight. Those who failed to go missed
a treat.

hen asked by the detectives where his
brother was, the prisoner replied: 'He
has gone to Chicago.' Judge Caples was
closing the case to the jury. He had
carefully reviewed all of the evidence
and then turning pointed to the accused
and said, in a voice of thunder: 'Gen
tlemen of the jury ! Look at that man.

den of Eden, one brother's hand was

another. As his victim lay bleeding and

About ten days ago Tom McCoy and
J. B. Haverly got into a quarrel, the
merits of which we know nothing about,
and during its course some pretty bad
language was used, it .is said, by Hay
erly. At any rate, later in the evening
the parties met in a saloon and a fight
ensued, in which Haverly was beaten
over the bead witn a piece or milliard
cue. At the time it was thought no se
rioua damage was done, though Haverly
had several scalp wounds, and next
morning he asked us not to say any
thing about the matter, with which re
quest we complied.
Since then, however, it has developed
that the injuries were really of a serious
nature, and last night word reached
town that his skull was fractured and
that there was little hope of his recoyery
The Olympia Standard tells a good
story on our Judge Caples, who is now

"As a prosecutor the judge was a ter

origin was at times, given to uninten
tional perpetration of 'bulls,' during the
heat of debate, that were decidedly
'Irish' in character.
