Kelsay Por ter, tbe slayer of the Macho family, was banged in this city this morning, according to the sentence passed upon him in October. The execution took place vat 6;45 o'clock, on a scaffold that had "been erected within tbeeucl03ure surrournP ing thecpunty jail. The governor had' been petitioned toectamat the sentence, but no word waa" received from him untill last night, ' when the sheriff received a message stating he could not interfere with the due course of the law, and the sheriff at once completed his arrangement for carry ing out the order of the court. Thursday ovenlng, Porter sent for Rev. Shields, of the First Presbyterian church, who called on the condemned :narj, and gave him such spiritual ad vice as ho could. The crime for which Kelsay Porter paid the death penalty was perpetrated on the morning of January J, 1S9Q, at Porter's farm in the eastern part cf Union county, and was the killing of in old man named Maehe, his aged wife and their son, Ben Mache. There , had been trouble between Porter and the Maches about the latter crossing bis farm. On the morning of the kill ing Porter had stationed himself on a shed beside his barn, armed with a re .leating rifle. The Maches came by. Dbe old folks ridirig in a sleigh aud the boy following on horseback. Por ter opened fire on Ben, killing him in stantly, then followed the old folks up ind killed both. Porter was tried in February, 1896, and sentenced to bo hanged on April 10. His attorneys appealed to the su preme court, but the lower court was sustained, and on October loth of this year, Porter was again sencenced, the date of execution being fixed lor No vember 19.

The waters of Maryland produee one third of the total oyster supply of the world. It yields twice as many of these luscious bivalves as are grown in all for eign countries combined. During the present century it has put on the mar; ket 400,000,000 bushels of the toothsome ! rpollusks. . These have sold for the enormous sum of $250,000,000, Almost j all of this country is dependent for the abundance and cheapness of this edible on the supply of the Chesapeake, From here also come very nearly all of the oysters used for canning1. In fact, tbe output of this Industry in Maryland la equal to one-sixth of all the fisheries of the United States put together. The quantity of oyster shells landed upon the shores of Maryland during the last century has been reckoned at 12,000,000 tons. Until lately the can ning firms have had much trouble in getting rid of the shells, having to pay, in fact, for the removal of all they could givq away, Recently, hloweyecj : ihey have been able to sell them. They are now shipped to all parts of the country and are utilized variously for roads, for lime, and employed in mak ing coal gas. They have also been found to serve almost as well as stone in the manufacture of special grades of Iron for railway beds. Cultivators of oysters also employ them, having found that they afford suitable surfaces for young oysters to attach themselves to. They are likewise used to some extent as chicken, food. They are very gooii lor hens, the shells of egga being large ly made of them. The trade receives $25,000 in a single year for the empty shells,' ' I BtarflsheB are the oysters worst enemy. Other animals the young oys ters have to guard against are crabs and boring snails. They are also in danger of beinjr stifled by mud. In Pacific wa ters stringTays are their most dreaded foes. The little crab that lives in the shell of the oyster has always excited much. Interest. It is found in about ' five per cent, of the bivalves.

The most soil ous damage done by the recent floods so far reported was at Mount Vernon The dikes surrounding the town broke last night, and within an hour the whole to-n was under two feet of water. Hundreds of men worked like trojans, but their work was in vain, ns tho river continued to ri-e until it reached a mark two feet higher than that of four years ago, when the whole Skagit valley was inundated.

Price and Johnson who were near Winkle, spent the night on a large stump, the water being up to thrir knees. They nearly perished with cold. Men in a boat were within 300 yards of them, but the current was so swift and the night so dark that they dared not at tempt to rescue the men. Every sidewalk in town is out of place, and at one time in every bouse on the low land there was from four inches to two feet of water on the floors. Hundreds of head of stock were drowned and many barns and granar ies washed away. The Great Northern track below town is washed out for a distance of 300 feet, and above the railway bridge ono mile of the road is crippled. It ia estimated that tbe damage to the ton alone is $1000, and it will cost at least $10,000 to repair the dikes in this one district. The water is subsiding, but is still running in through th breaks. It will bo at least 10 clays before the water leaves the lo.wlanc's. The whole country, for a distance of 20 miles to salt water, is under water from four to seven feet deep. Drearifally ftiervaas.

MARRIAGE FOR YOUNG MEN, dually the Only Thing That WUt Make Alan Save Mqney, This Is a true story, and one that will apply to many other young men besides this particular one. It is a great pity that this is true, says the Pittsburgh Commcrical Gazette, but so it is. A prosperous business man who em ploys quite a number of clerks 6aid re cently that he had been led to the con clusion that the young man who saved and invested his earnings is au ex ception to the rule. He was surprised to find this to be true. The facts came out when he began reducing his work ing force as business fell off. The first o be dropped were those who had uo family depending upon them. Then it was that they would confess they hadn't saved a dollar, and had no means whatever upon which to live. This same man also observed that the married men nearly all had saved something, notwithstanding their salaries were no larger, and in some j cases less, than tnose drawn Dy single men. By quizzing these young, bachelors he found that riotous living was the principal cause of their poverty. Home of them gambled on the quiet, and others just naturally let it go right and left as long as there was any to go, From this he concluded that mar riage is a very good thing for a younjf man, provided he marries a sensible, practical sort of a woman. Hereafter he proposes to give married men the preference because, in so doing, he will be helping those who are willing to help themselves. The Attorney still at It. San Francisco, Not. 20.

The Honorable Act ' of a demnod Criminal Oon- Eravetl the Dangers of Flood Field to Surrender Himself to Officers of the You need not send an officer for me. I will conic when I uni wanted." Vincent Sutton, postmaster at Ore- town, Tillamook county, was wanted for embezzlement by the United States authorities. A plain tale, truly, and only one which smacks of the vulgar commonplace, but mark the difference. This Sutton is a man of simple mind, and to him it seemed no harm would be done if he eked out tho pittance of his otliee of postmaster by adding the sums paid in lor purchase of money orders, matter of some $355 when all was countcdu lie would make it good in his own time, and in truth he thought it no wrong. But the nited States does not J do business that way, and in due time there came an indictment found by tho Oregon gramd jurj Sutton heard. He realized that he had done wrong. He was ready to meet his punishment. Nay, he was ready to go to meet it ait the peril of his life. Nothing prevented if he chose to leave the state. None could find him in, the fastnesses of his own trackless mountains, but it came home to him what he had not realized when he. took the monej-, that he hod done wrong, and he alone must bear the burden. Now, this was not a matter of walking downtown to give yourself up to the police or the marshal. It was not even matter of boarding a comfortable railroad coach, to be hauled into Port land. Orctown is a lonely camp buried deep in the Oregon wilds, a round 40 miles and more from a railroad station. ith raging rivers to be crossed be tween, and no road on which a horse) may travel in this teeming winter sea son, -when, the whole countryside" ia soaked' and sodden like a, full spongV dcep.witii ,waciifuattnfatbo.md seas of holding mud. Forty-three miles on foot,"8wimming' and swirling, wild unbridled rivers, staggering- along through clinging1 mud, unable to lie down and sleep in his drenched clothes lest he perish of the cold, deprived of fire and light, because the matches he carried were soaked ; snatched a hungry bite by the way at the little store of food he hod in his pockets, all Rodden and smeared with mud this was the task that Vincent Sutton set himself because justice must be done, and be must bear (lis part, though his life be forfeited in the doing. So it came that the simple-minded man of primitive mold sat dowm and wrote a letter to Marshal Gray, in Port land, that he would come himself to the nearest railway station on the rail road, Sheridan, and there surrender to An officer of the law no need to send a man to bring him in from his distant home. Lot the officer come to Sheridan by a certain day, and he would be there. He kept his word, albeit more than once It nearly cost him his life. Sutton haa a wife. He kissed her good-by and stuffed his pockets with the food which she, poof woman, had put up for him with loving care, enough to last him two days, it might be, on the way to bhendan. The Three rivers, triple thunderer iu sooth, was booming with sullen, hungry roar, turbid with swirlings mud, carrying on its angry breast sweeping logs and jagged roots, torn from their sockets by tbe search ing flood. Five times it had to be crossed by Sutton on his way, swim ming or wading, or chancing hi a life on a treacherous log. Once he was nearly smothered in a bottomless pit of mud aa dangerous as the quiet, remorseless suck of a quicksand that never gives up its dead. It was bitter cold, and he must keep afoot or perish. But there Is iron in this roan's blood. He had pledged his word, and he got there, Now, when this simple tale was told to Judge Bellinger, sitting in Portland as the representative of the federal law, he, being a man, was troubled in mind. for here was one who had set his life at the value of a pin fee, that the law might have its way, and yet justice must be done and punishment meted as is set down In the books. Neverthe less there are degrees, and Judge Bellin ger resolved that this was a ease where It would not strain the quality of jus tice were it softened with mercy. Therefore he imposed the lowest pen alty, which is imprisonment for six months and a fine equal to the sum, which Sutton appropriated. San Fran,-, Cisco Examiner. LOUIS OAKES, Successors to J.

Some years ago a Paris jeweler told story of one diamond which had passed over his counter no less than 11 times. It was a beautiful stone of nearly four v carats, of perfect color and luster, but - easily identified by means of a small "feather" in the tip of the lowest part. He bought it from an East India dealer t and had it set in a ring, lit was told to a . countess in 18C9, just before the out-' break of the Franco-Prussian war. Tho countess died in a few weeks, und tho ring was worn by her husband. He wot killed in the siege of Paris, aud a. foul days after his death tho ring wa brought in the ring and sold it to the roon soldier. He was arrested, and the ' ring was sent to the family of the dead -1 count. Before the siege ended tlioy brought in the ding and sold it to tbe I dealer in order to procure money lo" buy food. Directly after the siege passed into the hands of an English. tourist who visited the' city, to get a look at the ruin wrought by the com munists, and a year later back came the' atone from the Indian buyer of the firm who, on being written to and desired tell how he got it, stated that it been the property of an English ton hunter who was killed by a tiger. his friends sold the rinff to get mea. send the body home. The atone w set,, and soon found a purciiaaer prominent member of the demi-m who not long afterward was murdered in her room. Among the art icles taken by the murderer was the ring, and the firm began to wonder how soon it would turn up. They bad not long to wait, for all their people had by this time learned about the stone, and were on the look out for it. After six months it was found in the showcase of a jeweler in London, who had bought it from a firm in Amsterdam. It was bought by tlia Paris agent, and sent back to be started afresh on its travels. . It was purchased again by a woman of the tonrwho, six weeks later, was drawn out of the St-I with the gem on her fingei-and,' by ttrangc coincidence, it wasoffered to the firm thatsold it by the pbHee agents, the court having jurisdiction having ordered it to be sold, And so it went from hand to hand, attended with mis fortune at every change and usually bringing; death to the possessor.
