It having been rumored, and with not the least foundation whatever, that the state board of equalization, now in session, would double the valu ations of the assessment of Mult nomah, county, the board has in formed the officials of that county that tjwy cohld have a hearing be fore tne board on Monday next. The board is now considering the assessments. The members may be said to be merely makinga pre liminary surrey, bat expect to be setting grade stakes as soon as all the county rolls are received.

The Albany local came in this morning with the air pipes twisted off, while the pilot, or cowcatcher, was covered with hortehair. About 7:0 o'clock last evening, juet after the train had pulled out of Uervais, Mouth bound, the engine struck a farm wagon, in which two French men were riding. The fog was io dense that the team could not he seen uat l the ponderous machine was within a few fuet of it. Hie engineer reversed and put on I rakis, )ut not in time, for the pilot struck the outtit, killing both iirgcF, cutting off one ol the l-'renchiuen's Irs, and smashing the wagon in pieces. A stop was made and the injurud man was taken to the next htatiou, where hi weundri were properly dressed. I I is name could not be learned, but it was found that both he and his companion were intoxicated, else thev had not been driving across the track when the train approached. M ATTLRS OF INTEREST.

A day or two since, near Hilgar.i, he stepped off a passen ger train, the car steps being absent, and was ttrown into a pile of rocks. He escaped with one or two broken ribs. An artesian well drill is now at work on a ranch north of Water ville. The Democrat states that it is doing good work, with every prospect ol success. It is capable of sinking a well to ttie depth of 2200 feet. Artesian water in that section will be of incalculable benefit to the development of the country. Vvotiiinntinn into the matter leads to the oelief that the wreck of the San Pedro, recently sunk near Astoria, was wholly due to the negligence of the pilot.

Last Friday Mr. Perrim met with a severe accident while haul ing a load of fruit trees for Mr. Humphrcv, near Monroe. It seems the" road is graded high in the center, and on either side the water forms a miniature lake. The horses became frightened in some wanner and plunged into the ditch and tiped the wagon over. Mr. IVrrim's leg was broken about the knee and one of the horses was drowned. Kalaniath County Star: Kla math county is ahead again. She lias a pretty Fmart aseessor named Smart, and he lately received from the state board a letter stating that the assessment roll sent from Klamath was the "most perfec and neatest paper of the kind sent from any other part of the state," and twenty-two had al ready been received, The roll sent from Multnomah county, we have often heard, displays ex cellence only slightly inferior to that of the Klamath roll, and it is therefore fair to presume that oiuitnoman'a roil stands second. Eugene Guard, 7th: Messrs. George E. Miller, Isaac Britton, C. M. Hurd and T. R. Berry ar rived here yesterday afternoon from Florence, being three days on the road. They report that the storm last week badly block aded the road. They found sixty trees across the road between the Head of Tide and Hale's, and one very heavy elide at ineioek l ilton They think that at least $1000 damages were done to the road. They were compelled to walk be tween said points. The wind at fiorence are very heavy, the small boats fairing roughly. However no otner damage was done. The grain trade ia Palouse markets is about closed for the present season, and by the ship ments that nave been made trom the various stations an accurate estimate places the total product of Whitman county at 13.500.00J bushels, with wheat as the chief factor at 10,750 000 bushels; barley, 1,250,000 oats, 800,000: flax. 500.000; rye. 200,000.

A large num ber ol Chinese vessels were de stroyed and hundreds of Chinese sailors and laboiers were drowned. A dispatch from Pekin states the rebels of Mongols have brought the insurrection to an end. .ll disturbances in the country appear to have terminated and aflairs are resuming a normal condition. Summary punishment was inflicted on the captured rebels who were convicted of hav ing taken part in the massacre of Christians. Forty-two insurgents who had a hand in the murder of Christians were beheaded at Pakou. Uladateae and the Laboring Men. London, Dec. 11. Four hundred rival delegates to the National Libaral Federation conference partook of a breakfast this morn ing, at which the principal guest was Gladstone. Gladstone ad dressed them. He said he thought the time had come for the com mencement of continuous efforts to bring about lural reforms. Speaking on the subject of work ing men, Gladstone said the labor question had a n ide range. Home rule was a part of the labor con troversy. The condition of the rural laborers was the most urgent question. Proof of this statement lay in the constant migration of these laborers. Every endeavor ought to be made to keep laborers at home. He hoped to see labor candidates for seats in parliament increase in number. Queer Way of Lovemaklng. Columbus, O., Dec. 11. George Hamilton, of Ross county, was convicted here to-day of imperson ating a United States officer, ar.d sent toprsion for eighteen months. His crime was committed as a part of his wooiug. He fell in love with Misa Ida Somers, of Chilli cothe, whom he had never formal ly met. He arrested her for al leged counterfeiting, representing himself to be a Federal officer, and as he was driving ta town in bis buggy he proposedf marriage to her. NICELY CAUGHT! A Pair of Blackmailers are Out witted. A KB TO HE TKIED. They Eave Succeeded Heretofore In Cp tiring Let ofKeaey aid Now Tasy Ire Captorcd. New Haven, Dec. 11. A sensa tional blackmail case was detected ley the police of this city last night. The intended victim was James D. Dewell, a wholesale grocer, and republican candidate for mayor in the recent election. He is one o the tichest men in the state and is a man of family and moves in the upper circle of society. The af fair has created a decided sensa tion. Within the past two weeks Mr. Dewell has received a number of letters from Mrs. Sidney Cue, a colored woman. At first she requested Mr. Dewell to aid her financially, as she was in great distress. He paid no attention to these letters, but yesterday re ceived another. This was of a different nature, and earnestly re quested Mr. Dewell to call at her house last night, as she would be alone and could see him. This letter was given to the police, and Detective Cowles, disguised as Dewell, went to the house, She met him and escorted him to a chamber. She failed to see through his disguise. Five min utes later the husband rushed in to the room and demanded fl'tOO, an J threatened, if payment was refused, to shoot Mr. Dewell. The detective gave a sign, two officers rushed in and the blackmailers wete arrested. The couple have succeeded in getting several thousand dollars out of prominent citizen by this scheme. Coe and his wife are mulattoes. Judgeship In t!ae Second District Corvallis T;iih'S : It is generaly aimitted by those who have stud ied the situation that if .!ulg.

This is a etro ig declaration to ronie from IKiuglasJ county, where J. W. Hamilton islieing grooiucl lor the race, and whom it is believed would poll more votos than any democrat in the district. Editor in Danger. It seems to be a bad year for ed itors. The Sunday Mercury man was lately cinched by Judge Deady. and now the Oregonian Fays that Messrs. Auen and K rick- son, editors ot the Scandinavian weekly VorTidd, arrested on com plaint of Hansen, the proprietor of the Depot hotel, for alleged criminal libel, were bound over to appear before the grand jury In justice Wood yesterday, and on motion of the district attorney they were allowed to go on their own recognizance. The alleged libelous article is a first page re ligious story that appeared in print about a week ago. alt Tor the Irish Funds. London, Dec. 11. Justin Mc Carthy, as sole survivor of the trustees of the Paris fund, was served with a writ at the suit of Timothy Farrington, John Red mond, Clancy U'Conder, Kenney and Richard I.alor, all of w hom are members of the Parnellite sec tion of the Irish parliamentary party, who claim the funds sub ject to the tr.ist in favor of them selves and other members of the National League. The petitioners request the removal of McCarthy from the trusteeship and the ap pointment of, a proper truetee. Mrs. Parnell is included in the writ as a co-defend mt, as admin istratrix f her husband's estate. The Coldest Spot on Earth. It is said that "the culminating point of excessive climate in all the world is reached" at a place near Werkhojansk, Siberia, which is the coldest known spot on the earth's surface. In other words, it is the pole of the greatest known cold. For a long time it was sup posed that laqutsk, 400 miles from Werkhojansk, was the coldest place on the world, but recent observations have don-j away with that idea. The lowest readings of the thermometer, taken by Sir George Nares, was noted at Flo- burg Beech, which was ol deg , beiow zero, Fahrenheit. The soil at the place named is frozen nearly 400 feet deep. It must have been a deposit ot the glacial epocii, lor no amount ot cold could penetrate the earth to that depth. The Eqaalizlng Board. The Oregonian note and com ment says: The state board of equalization has tent circulars to all county clerks in the etate, ask ing them to come before the board, if they wish to make any explana tion in regard to their respective assessments. According to the as sessment rolls already received, the approximate value of all prop erty in the state is $144,770,080, and nearly 34 per cent of that amount is covered by indebtedness alone, t say nothing of exemp tions. Upon this point the Salem Statesman makes these com ments: "There is something radi cally wrong in the assessment of this state, when the aggregate value of town lots in the young state of Washington ia $162,779, 702. This vear about 36.8 per cent of the tne gross valne of prop erty in Multnomah county waa covered by indebtedness. Accord ing to the same assessment roll, Multnomah county has enly 1161 vote-is, which in itself is simply ridiculous. Jackson county haa 103!) voters, and Clackamas haa 123, while in Lane county there are 20S3 922 more than Multno mah county can show on her roll. After all the fuss Portland made over Porter's census, it must be humiliating to them to have so few voter. Such irregularities as that are what the board of equalization is wrestling with these stormy days . Ilelidajr Freaeata.

A 6hort time ago :;il members in St. Louis were paid 10J each, but after that a notification was sent out that no more matured memberships would lie paid unless the holder had paid at Icjst $7 in assessments, to gether with the iniation fee. Then an assessment of $30 on certifi cates maturing IVcember 1 was made. A meeting of the mem bers here wrs immediately called, and a rather lively time was the result. Supreme Organizer Hanson, from Boston, was in town, but did not attend the meeting as he saw how the land lay, and did not think he could do anything. The an nouncement was made that the Boston end of the concern had been enjoined. A committee was appointed to go to Boston and in vestigate affairs. The committee men have gone to Boston, em powered to act for the St. Louis victims, and will endeavor to dis cover the true etate of affairs. A Valuable Gift. The Willamette university is the recipient of a fine theodolite, which was given the school by Gen. W. IL Odell. The instru ment is designed for the use of the United States geodetic surveys, and cost the government $1000. It is what may be called a marine theodolite and is especially ar ranged for use of vessels. It has been used on this coast by the government engineers, but for several years it was stowed awar somewhere on this coast. General Odell tried to persuade the govern ment to give the instrument to the university, but the requests were refused, and it was sold at auction. General Odell bought it and presented it to the Willamette university, where it will be used by the higher classes in engineer ing, as soon as the rooms are com pleted. The school now owns one of the best scientific instruments on the coast and the faculty is not a little proud of it. Statesman. Incidents ana Accident.

A prune orchard of ten acres near Vancouver haa been sold for $0,5iH This goes to show that the prune industry is a safe one in which to realize good profits, and our speculators in the business near Corvallis are certain to reap surpri&ing results. J u'ius Wagner, of Birch Creek, Umatilla county, has lost several ca'ves lately in a peculiar manner. The bodies of the animals become bloated and they drop over dead. Dr. Scott, a neighbor of Mr. Wag ner, has also lost several. The disease appears to single out the early spiing calves, and to attack the finest and fattest in the band, a number of which have been found dead by Mr. Wagner. It is supposed to be blackleg.
