An "ih-t " Year. It's funny to see the democratic jiajn-rs in the republican coun ties and the republican papers in the counties which give democratic majori ties claim that this is an "oil year" as though nothing depended on the election of any IkkIv but demo's in republican ountiesand vice versa. Staging. The Mercury says that the '.&(. road will be finished to Fish Kock, on the Sacramento river, fifty-six viilcs below Yreka and 10K miles from Ashland, by the Kith of June. This re duces the stage ride to eighteen hours, and will catch many rich people who don't like to be sea-sick. Baiti.ino at the Penitentiary. On Sunday there were fourteen convicts bap tized, according to the rites of the Metho dist Episcopal church. Kev. J. L. Par rish and J. II. ltoork officiated. The service was very impressive, and, it is to tie hoped, may bring good results. Postponed. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, Sedgwick I'ost, (i. A. It., and the Woman's lielief Corps, auxiliary thereto, have decided to postpone their eamiflire at Marion bquare from next Saturday till Saturday, May 2'.'. Vkky Sick. Miss Amelia Savage has In-en lying very low with inflammatory rheumatism for several days, but her inanv friends will Vie pleased to learn that her condition is slightly improved. To Issi-kit a Bkiikik. T. C.

I-air Hill's newly revised code of laws for Oregon was entirely de stroved bv the reirent tire at liaucroft'c fiuilding, at San Francisco, and will en tail upon him a loss of fx.OUU. Pay-car. The Oregon &. California railroad pavmaster passed up yesterday morning, on the regular freight train, paying otf their employees, thentby mak ing theiu all happy. Dissolved Paktxrksiiip. The firm of Hollister & Merrill, stencil and rubber stamp manufacturer!! and bicvele agents of Portland, has licen dissolved by mut ual consent. Thaxks. liavid Himjison and family desire to express their sincere thanks to ; w.T friends and neighbor w ho so Kind ly assisted them in their late sad bereave-tnentl Sudors Fall. Lute Sunday evening, Col. L. S. Scott, captain of the guard at the penitentiary, was returning to that institution, after doing an errand in this city, and, just after crossing the bridge at Mill creek, he met with a serious acci dent. I'edestrians will well remember that the walk from the bridge to the pen itentiary is not in the. best condition pos sible, and the colonel, stepping on a slipiery and loose plank, fell heavily on his hip, deadening the nerve, and ren dering him helpless. He made several cries for help, w hen a woman, passing, found him, and secure d aid. lie was taken into the residence of Warden Geo. K. Jackson, which is just across the street from where the accident happened, and medical aid summoned. The physi cian found no bones broken, hut he said the nerve of the hip was seriously affect ed by the shock, and that Col. Scott would most likely be laid up for some time. He was removed to the residence of his family, 322 High street, yesterday afternoon, where, at last accounts, he Was resting comparatively easy. W. C. T. I7. Mattkks. Kegular semi monthly meeting this Tuesday afternoon, at 1 :30 in their hall. The bible lesson will be a study of "Faith," proofs of its pisession, etc. The meetings are ojien and all interested in bible study are made especially welcome . . The ladies connected with the Salem W. C. T. U., are laying their plans for an entertain ment, to come off on Friday, May 21st. There are to lie articles ofTered for sale, lunch served, etc. A red, white, and tilue sociable is to lie held in the evening, and all our friends, without regard to party affiliations, are invited to come and nave a good time. The rooms south of the First National bank have been secur ed, and will lie made our headquarters for a dav or two at that time. W. C. T. U. ' J-tKiMTs, inc. Again the question is, ''Are we to have a new depot?" The railroad company hits a crew of carpen ters at work remodeling their depots be tween here and Portland, and they are now alsmt finishing their work at Ger vais. The building at I'.rooks will prob ably be taken next, and then they will, most likely, come to Salem. Whether a new depot will be built, or whether the old one will lie remodeled, is now the question. It would have been better if the new depot could have been placed in a better and more central location than the old one, but it is doubtful now if such will be done. At least a new building w ill relieve the old eyesore that has done duty under that nom de plume in the outskirts of this city for so many years. The Ji vknii.e Hand. The Salem Juve nile band is now a settled fact. The in struments are here and have been as signed to the players. They are quartered with the II. A. C. band in their band room on State street. The members are as follows: Ixniis Aldrieh, e flat tenor; F.muiett Iioon, alto trombone; Fred Hyars, snare drum; Will Hyars. John Farrar, and Fred Ix'vy, cornets; Fdward Crawford, e flat bass; Ralph Emerson, e fiat alto; Joe Farrar, bass drum ; Louis Folsom, trombone ; Kay iilbert, baritone ; Tommy Golden, e flat alto; Milton My ers, e Hat alto; J-reel H imams, cymbals. The bovs will undoubtedly make good music. The Prolific Coyote. liegardiess of traps, strychnine, guns, dogs and scalp bounties, the coyote seems to keep him self very numerous. This spring he ap peurs to be more plentiful than for many years years past. Major Siegrist, while coming up the new grade opposite Butter milk canyon lart Thursday, saw three bitch coyotes all in a bunch and followed by from four to six whelps each. This sounds like the stories Nelse Jones, Tom A vers, and other old settlers bdl of the days when coyotes ran in bands and bunches. Heppner Gazette. Democratic Ci.ru Mektiso. At a special meeting of the democratic club held last night at the Cheinekete parlors, the following committeemen were ap pointed: On reception, Meyer Abra hams, ieo. Herren , Kugene Willis, F. S. Dearborn ; committee on badges, Chas. Lelt, Kd. Herren. W. (i. Westaeott was elected Grand Marshal. The H. A. C. hand was engaged for Wednesday night. Wkll Attended. The funeral services of the late A. J. Simpson, on Sunday, were well attended. The procession that followed the remains to the cemetery was a large one, although tne weather was very bad. It was a sincere sorrow that led so many to that city of the dead, to see the remains of one so true and faith ful in life laid away to their eternal rest ing place. Certificates Granted. County Supt. Peebles has granted certificates to the following persons since May 1st, licensing them to teach in the public scluxls of this county: W. T. YanScoy anil .Miss Mary McKinney, teachers of the Turner schools, Miss Maggie Cosper, assistant in the North Salem school, and Miss Aman da Hartley, of Macleay, now teaching the Kickey school on Salem prairie. The Toirnament. Fire companies throughout the state are making big prep arations for the tournament at Salem this year. LaGrande Gazette. And yet those of Salem are not as active as they should be. It is about time the preliminary work was begun. A "whole lot" of money and all that to lie raised, and something should be "did," and that at once. Articles Filed. Articles were filed in the' office of the secretary of state yester day, incorporating the Columbia Canning Co.. of Astoria, with unlimited duration and $00,000 capital stock. It proposes to do a general fish-preserving and canning business. J. F. McGovern, G. II. Stew art and C. L. Wilson are the incorpora tors. A Close Call. Sunday evening, May 2, while W. C.

FUOM WEDNESDAY'S DAILY. Pi ci t.iAR Find. The work of clearing away o'ostruv Hons on the beach prepara tory to extending the cribbing from the docks on down towards Ford's point, was inaugural 'd yesterday morning. In re moving so. ue of the large bowlders torn from the bl itT by the big blast put in by the engineers of'the 0. P. in the spring of 1SS2, to clear a way for the road-bed on which to lay the sieel rails, scales or fragments were broken from them which were found to he lull of rock oysters. Yfon tx closer examination the large rocks were found to be permeated with holes and the holes crowded with oys ters. The strange and curious fact in the matter is, these lsiwlders, only four years ago, formed a part of the mainland, many feet aliove the highest tides, ami were' torn from the bosom of the high bluff by the use of giant powder, and hurled on to the beach where, twice every twenty-four hours, they were submerged by the tides now, the question to solve is, was the embryo oyster in the rock before thrown from its "original home, or has it propagated since that time? The indications are that the oysters have taken their abode in the rocks during the four years they have been exposed to the semi-daily tides. Yaquina Post. Strawberries. Now is the glorious season when the festive strawberry doth lift up his auburn-constructed counten ance and "pose" at the rate of fifty rents a box. The first offered in the market were dispensed by Weller Bros, yester day, there Vieing two boxes on sale. They were wild, but are probably thor oughly tamed by this time. The straw berry usually grows, but sometimes it is raised either in a garden, or from the table ; but, when raised the latter way, cream (if possible to find it) is usually used to irrigate the crop. It is thought that the yield of berries this season will be bountiful, yet not so large as that of 18S5. A little warm weather now would soon flood the market with these dain ties. A Cold-water Town. Goldendale, W. T., is a cold-water town, and the "physi cian, snake-bite, and prescription" flour ish, judging from the following from a Yakima exchange: "The Y'akhnas had a wonderful experience at Goldcndale court week. That village is strictly temperate, not a saloon in town, but then, tiie drug stores and doctors do an extensive busi ness in prescriptions, and, as near as we ran learn, every man from over this way was snake bitten in crossing the Simeoe range and had to be heroically treated on arriving in the cold water town." Pri.k Fight at Baker City. The I'aker City Sage Brush advertises a "fight to a finish" to take place next Saturday night between George Edgar and an "unknown," for gate reeipts, with tick ets at a dollar a head, and extra for re served seats. It is very hkeiy that the sheriff and and instantaneous 'fotograffer' will also be on band to take a part in the "game." The Sage Brush would probably do its citizens a good turn bv publishing the law i.ertaining to such things as prize fights. Oregon" not Alone. Evidently Or egon's legislative assembly was not alone in making errors in legislation Judge Langford, of Walla Walla, has recently decided all the acts of the last legislature of Washington territory amending the code, to be void. The first section of the organic act irovides that the title of acts must state their object. Twenty-one acts were improperly entitled two years ago, and congress had to validate acts. Memorial Day. As Memorial dav the 30th inst., falls on Sunday this year, it w ill be observed by the several jKjots of the G. A. P.., throughout the state, uion the following day, the 31st inst. Sedgwick post No. 10, of this city, are al ready making preparations for the mem orial day observances, and the open camp fire to be held in Marion square on the 22nd is for the purpose of raising funds to defray the expenses thereof. Y'oi'xc, Men's J)emocratic Cli b. You are requested to be at the opera house at 0 p. m. sharp this (Wednesday) even ing, May 12, to join in the reception of lion. Sylvester Pennoyer, who is to ar rive on the evening train. Line of march from opera house to depot, from depot north to State street, State street west to Commercial, north to Court street, thence east to opera house. W. G. Westacott, grand marshal. ' To the Pen. Sheriff Thos. A. Jordan yesterday brought Gray, the young 15-year-old boy who set fire to the Interna tional hotel of Portland last winter, to the penitentiary under a live-year sen tence. Gray was given a chance by being given into the hands of the boys and girls' aid society, but he rau'away and was recaptured at Astoria, brought back to Portland anil sentenced. IsciriKKT Blaze. An alarm of lire called out the department about 8:30 yesterday morning. It was-found that a Chinese wash-house next to the fish mar ket on State, near High, street, was on tire. Capitals attached their hose to the plug in front of their engine-house, and soon had the fire quenched. Cap's have the foxtail now, and are happy. Dam age to the building slight. Fixing rr. John G. Wright is having a fresh coat of white paint put on the front of his store building, 227 and 220 Commercial street, which will add much to its apiearanc.e. . . The Salem Iron Works are putting in an iron front in the store building at 28:1 Commercial street, in the Starkey block. A Long Timber. A very long piece of timber was lying in the southeast yard of the capitol yesterday, which attracted considerable attention and which shows well for Oregon timber. It is eighty feet in length, and is to be used in place of one of the trusses spoken of not long since as being unsafe. IIorsethiek Kt MoR. A Palouse W. T. ANOTHEU DAMAGE SUIT. Mary E. Sheridan Suos (lie City Salem for Sfi.OOO Iiniiiag-os, Received by a Fall. of From Weilnewlny'i Iially.l The claim of Mary E. Sheridan against the city for indemnity for damages re ceived by falling on a defective cross walk last summer, came to a head yes terday, by Knight & Downing, as her at torneys, filing the following complaint in the circuit court : "The plaintiff complains and alleges: That the defendant is a municipal corpor ation, duly incorporated and organized under, and by virtue of the laws of the state of Oregon. That said defendant, by virtue of the laws granting its said charter, has exclu sive iower and authority, and it is its duty, among other things, to provide for the construction, cleaning, and repair of side- and crosswalks, within the city, and, in pursuance, and by virtue of such power and authority, the said defendant undertook to, and did construct and maintain a crosswalk on the south side of Marion street and across Winter street, in this citv. That said Marion and Winter Btreets, were, at the time hereafter mentioned. and still are common thoroughfares. That said defendant w holly failed to keep and maintain said crosswalk in good repair, and negligently suffered the same to become rotten and dangerous to persons passing over it. And, that by reason of such negligence and careless ness of defendant, the plaintiff, while passing along said crosswalk, on the 8th of May, 18S5, received a fall, caused by the giving away of a portion of the crosswalk, and letting her left foot and lee through the same into the ditch thereunder. That by said fall, the plaintiffVwas greatly bruised and hurt, and received serious and permanent in juries in her left knee cap and shoulder, and is, and will be crippled for life. That the plaintiff was confined to her bed four weeks, and is still unable to use her left arm in the la bor of washing, which she followed partly for the support of her family. She further alleges : That her physi cian's bill was if 150, and that at the tiine, she had to keep at home her three daugh ters, who were then employed and re ceiving wages two of them "2 per week, and one f2.50 per week. That by reason of the premises, that plaintiff has been, and is damaged m the full sum of $5,0'0 ; wherefore, the plain tiff demands judgment against said de fendant for the sum of 5,o00and forcosts and disbursements. This matter has been before the city council several times in the form of a pe tition, etc., and not long since the matter could have been settled bv donating the sum of $20u or !f2.j') to the" plaintiff; but the council did not see fit to do that. There is but little reason to doubt the fact that Mrs. Sheridan bad this fall and that she received injuries therefrom ; but whether her injuries were worth 0,000, or anything, will be the question before the court. The case will come up before the circuit court at the next term, which meets in June. Shot at a Shkrikf. Monday morn ing deputy Sheriff Stimpson, of Umatilla county, while going to Camas to serve a warrant on some body, was assailed by three men in ambush on top of the mountain near the high bridge. The breach of his gun was shattered and his horse shot through the head. The offi cer saved his life by unloading his rifle into the ambush fifteen times. Mr. Stinipson is the officer from whom the vigilantes borrowed Keach. the horse thief, a few months ago. Adams Times. Juvenile Desperadoes. The Adams Times says that a juvenile hanging bee was held in that town recently : Several little "kids" assembled to lynch little Charley Seringler, hung him to a beam and were gyrating gleefully around their victim as he swung, black'in the face and about readv to climb the shining steps, when Mr. 1. Hanson, who lortunately had business there at that moment, frus" trated the tragedy. Men are but child ren a little older grown, and practice the games just as foolishly. Y'amiiill Again. "Yamhill against the world" is getting to be an old saw; but surely that county has scored anoth er point. In MoMinnville recently they had a "maplTj sugar party." Now just what a maple sugar party is, deponent saith not. I was probably a gathering of "disinterested" candidates, who sweet ened each other up with the taffy of these political times. It was probably very "interesting. " One hundred pounds of real "Michigander" maple sugar was in attendance with the rest of the guests. Bund Filed. John Whiteaker, collect or of internal revenue, on Monday filed a bond for $75,000 with the U. H. district court. E. S. Kearney, D.P.Thompson, Lewis Nicolai, John Catlin, Hichard Wil liams, and Sol. Hirsch are sureties. Mr. W.'s appointment was lately confirmed, and heretofore was acting under merely a temporary bund. As custodian of certain funds he will have to file another bond for $15,000. Fcni kal at Ai rora. The party hav ing in charge the tody of the late Mrs. II. II. Hendricks, who died in Gilliam county on Sunday, the 0th, arrived in Aurora on last evening's train. The funeral will lie held at 10 o'clock this morning at Aurora, Kev. E. J. Thomp son of this city conducting the services. There will be a very large attendance, a number going from this city. City Taxes. The marshal rejiorts city taxes coming in quite lively, pursuant, no doubt, to the notice which has ap peared in the Daily Statesman for the past few days. About $700 were received yesterday. The taxes become delinquent June 1, and taxpayers will do well to be governed accordingly. In New Hanls. E. B. Fuller has bought of S. J. L. Whiteman the i'aena Vista ferry, and has overhauled it and put it in good repair. Mr. Fuller will see to it that the traveling public is well accommodated there. FROM TIIFBSDAY'S DAILY. Personal. Hon. Jams F, Gazlcy, of Canyonville, one of the ablest jurists of Douglas county, is in tin? city: Judge (Sazley is rapidly P'-aring his three score years and ten, has given up the law, and is now living a life of e.tsn and comfort, on his beautiful farm on the South Umpipia, where he settled when he first came to Oregon in March lS.'il. He has seen many vicissitudes in his lif and is full of interesting anecdotes relative to the early history of Oregon. He has occu pied several prominent positions during his long residence. He represented his tsjunty in the house Ihr"' 'erms, and one in Hie senate just, before and one just af ter the war. He was district attorney in 18(i2of the southern, or First district, comprising Josephine, Jackson, anil Douglas counties. He was a presidential elector in 18(i4 and east the vote of Ore gon for Abo Lincoln. He was also an elector in 1872 when U. S. Grant was elected the second time, but Meacham took the votes east that time. Judge Gazleywas in the legislative assembly with Col. T. H. Cornelius, in 1808, at all of which times he was a republican ; but, sad to relate, the judge has been led off, and is now classed among the demo cratic brotherhood. Judge Gazley owns one of the prettiest farms in Douglas county, and makes his visit to this city on business, connected with its manage ment, He brings a good report of the condition of crops, etc.,in Douglas coun ty, and reports better weather than tliis countv can boast of at present. Surprise Party. George Johnson and his wife and daughter called at Elder J. W. Webb's, last Tuesday evening, to pay a friendly visit. The only remarkable thing about that is that before the visit was fairly under way it was suddenly in terrupted by the coming in of about sev enty members of the church and friends, young and old, bearing sundry mysteri ous packages. As the rooms of the par sonage were inadequate tor so large a company, an adjournment was made to the church parlors, where singing, and music on piano, cornet, and violin, and social converse, made ttie hours pass very pleasantly. The ladies served tea, coffee, and cake, after which came more music, Misses Lulu Johnson, Jacl:son, and War inner, Mrs. Parks, Dr. Parks, Mr. Taylor, and others, leading. Mrs. Parks's niece, a cute little tot, delighted the company with a well delivered recitation. The se cret had been well kept, and the house warming and welcome to the new pastor and family was evidently a pleasant sur prise, and proved a verv agreeable way of preacher and people becoming better acquainted. .Mr. ebb is to be congrat uiated on having so sociable, hearty, and harmonious a membership to minister to. Fire in North Salem. About half past 3 yesterday morning, the jieople of this citv were rudelv awakened and startled by tne clanging of the tire-bell. Investigation revealed the fact that the fire was in North Salem, and the depart ment started out there in response. Cap ital hose team arrived at the scene of the lire in time to attach a section of hose to No. 3's engine, but too late to be of any service, as the building was virtually burned to the ground when the firemen arrived. It was a small one-story cottage owned by Mrs. Beaman, and occupied by herself and family as a residence. The fire was first discovered by one of the daughters, barely in time for the family to make their escape with their lives. This daughter has a child which had hurt its foot in some way, and about 2 a. m. the lady got up to fix a poultice for the foot to ease the pain fro:n which the child was suffering. She built a tire in the stove, and went to bed, leaving the fire burning. It is supposed that a spark from the stove set fire to the carpets. The ho.ise and furniture were valued at $(i0t) or $700, and were entirely consumed. Mrs. Beaman had the house insured in the German-American by Leo. Willis' agency for $200. Returned from the East. K. Koeh ler, president of the O. & C. railroad, passed through this city yesterday, on his private car, accompanied by Superin tendent Brandt. They made a visit to the penitentiary while here, going over the penitentiary switch. Pres. Koehier has just returned from the east via San Francisco. It is said that his trip cast was in connection with the rumored change of ownership of the road, and it is thought that the Central Pacilic com pany will secure control of the road in the very near future. Just what fact there is in the rumor, is not definitely known; but there is thought to tie con siderable reason tor thinking there is some ground for believing it true. What the effect of such a ch.i'ie would be on ibis country is huiw '-i'dhle, but it would certainly insure Uic y com pie tion of the roail. M. E. Ciu rcii. There will be a good substantial supper for twenty-five cents, and ice cream for twenty-five cents. An excellent programme is ready. Among other things Miss Lucy Packenhain will give her inimitable recitation, "Too Ijiite for the Train," at the M. E. church socia ble to-morrow night. School Matters. Prof. K. B. McKl roy has been perambulating around in the interest of the coming State Teachers' Association, which will be held "some where," about the hth, 0th, 10th, and 1 1th of July. He reports good progress, anil will probably locate it soon. State Camp Meeting. The annual state camp meeting of the Christian church will be held at the camp ground at Turner, beginning Thursday before the third Sunday in June, that being the 17th proximo, at 2 o'clock p. in., and continu ing over two Sundays. Coming Saturday. It is understood that T. R. Cornelius, Geo. W. McBi ide, and Henry J. Marston, republican can didates for governor, secretary of state, and state treasurer, with probably other candidates, will meet the people of Salem ; . at Jteed's oiiera house on next Saturday: IIo w ,, yirH a. Giesy, Mm evening. , Monroe, Miss Ixma Lewis, and others. Returned. O. Krausse of the firm of hirin Salem, attended the funeral of the in i i i . late Mrs. II. H. Hendricks, at Aurora, Krausse & Klein, who has been on a visit ve(ik;niav among relatives in Illinois, returned home," " by last evening's train. His sister, Miss Hon. L. 1$. Cox, late representative Alvina Krausse, who was here last sum- from I'matillacoimty, but at present prao mer and who returned cast with Mr. ticing law in Portland, is doing this ci&f Klein, accompanied him. on business. Another Attempt. Yesterday after noon, A. Stinit, the "hiyu" real estate rustler, of Dallas, Kugene, and several other places, was a passenger on th down train fioni Eugene. He was taken oil' here, iimf v out over to Dallas on tha stage. He looked sick, and a reKirtr learned that Stinit had been "atfit again." Ho bad taken a dose of cold "pizen." Ho wanted to bio him hecceward into the boundlessness of the unknown, "That undiscovered country," etc. It hap pened, however, to Stinit's luck again, that there w ere two disciples of vKsri lapius on the train, who proceeded forth with to pump him out, and by the timffl he had arrived here, Stinit was back to a. contemplation of a future yet, before him of untold troubles, etc., in 'this world l wickedness and woe. Kor attempting; the suicide racket, Stinit, undoubtedly "yanks the bum ;" but as a stiicidist, his is not a success. He has made numer ous vain attempts at sundry times, and on divers occasions to break loose from the "tiesthat bind," by the careless, in ward application of sundry sure death drug store stuffs, and it is supposed thai, he w ill keep it up until he does, by gj dent, make the riffle. The insane v lum is full already of suck cranks Stinit, but there is yet room for one more, and he will probably go thet soon, if he don't go to the other place. Addition to the Indian-school Lamw. A Washington dispatch says: "Her mann has introduced a bill authorizing the secretary of the interior to purchase for the use of the Indian training school near Salem, Oregon, a tract of land con taining eighty-five acres adjoining the school, to be paid for by labor performed oy xnaian pupils attending the school." A reporter of this paper found Col.
