Tigers' and Capitals' engines were placed alout a block apart on the crosswalks in the middle of their respeet ive starts, and at a given signal each ran to & cistern, one on the corner of Commercial and Court streets, and the other on the corner of Commercial and Ferry. The hose carts had leen sta tioned each a block beyond the cistern, and ran towards each other, meeting at State street. The run was a pretty one. Tigers threw the first stream. Capitals, however, made the liest run, but owing to some hitch did not get water. Violating the" Dairy Law. Mike Dentler was arrested yesterday on a war rant issued from Justice Bushwiler'a court for selling milk from cows fed on brewer's waste, contrary to the statute in such cases made and provided at the last session of the legislature, which provides that milk from cows fed on brewers' waste is unhealthy and Dentler is to have a trial at half-past 1 o'clock to-day.

The supreme court yeoterday decided the case of the State vs. Marple, on ap peal Irom t amhiU county. The follow ing i- the full tet of the decision : State of Oregon vs. Richard F.. Marple. Appeal from the circuit court lor the comity of Yamhill : By the court : The appellant was indicted, tried and convicted in the above court of the crime of murder in the first degree, and the following judgment and sentence were given against him : The State of Oregon ) April !', 1S87. vs. indictment tor Kichard E. Marple. ) Murder. iow at tins uay tins cause comes on for hearing on the'motiou of the said de fendant to set aside the verdict of the jury heretofore rendered in this cause. i auu ior a ue irmi, me state appearing liy Geo. . Kelt, prosecuting attorney, and by II. Hurley, and the defendant in his own proper person and II. '. Thomp son, his attorney, and, after argument by counsel and fully considering the said motion, it is ordered that the same be overruled ; whereiqion, on motion of Geo. W. Belt prosecuting attorney, the court proceeds to pronounce and render judg ment and sentence against the said Ki'.-n-ard E. Marple, and the court asked the defendant, in the preenee of his said attorney, what he had to say why the court should not now pronounce and ren der sentence und judgment against him in accordance with the verdict of the jury heretofore rendered against him in this cause; whereupon the said defendant made a statement to the court, and im mediately thereafter it appearing to the court that the said Richard E. Maple had been duly indicted and convicted of the crime of murder in the first degree for feloniously, wilfully, puqiosely and of deliberate aud premeditated malice, kill ing one D. I. Corker, It iB, therefore, ordered and adjudged by the court that the raid Richard E. Marple is guilty of said crime of murder in the first degree, and that it is further ordered and adjudged by the court that tne Baid itichard fc. Marple be taken from this place to the jail of this county of i amniii, ana mat lie be there kent in close confinement until the -'SUh dav of June, 1HS7, and that on said 2lth dav of June, between the hours of ten o'clock a m. and two o'clock p. ni. of said dav. he be taken from said iail to the place to lie prepareu ior tne execution ot this judg ment in uus county, ana mat ne he then and there hanged bv the neck until he is dead. ii. i J5oi.se. Judge. That thereuiKHi the judge of said cir cuit court delivered to the sheriff oi said l atuhill countv a warrant under his hand and the seal of said circuit court, and attested ty the clerk of said county whicli said warrant stated the said eoi viction and judgment and appointed the second day of June, A. D. 1887, as the day upon which the said judgment is to be executed. The defendant appeals from the judg ment pronounced against him. as above stated, and gives notice that he will relv upon the following errors of law appear ing of record upon the trial of said cause : r nut, I he indictment does not charge uie ueienuani wiin any crime. .1 ; .... -., Second, There was no verdict of the jury uon w hich to base the said judg ment and sentence. Third, Said judgment and sentence was pronounced bv the court without lesral jiower or lawiul authority. Fourth, That the death-warrant does not conform to the laws relating thereto or u uie juugment ot tne court in said action against tiie defendant. - l , 1 .... . We have examined all of the alleged errors, and are of the opinion that the tnree nrst ones are not well taken ; the fourth one is true as a statement of fact, as the part of the record above set forth shows.though we do not think that it pre sents sucn an error as will authorize the court to grant a new trial. We are of the opinion, however, that the record should he corrected liefore anv attempt in uiaue 10 eniorce tne judgment, so as to make it conform to law , and lie consist ent with itself. The judgment annealed from will therefore le modified so as to adjudge in effect that the said Kichurd Marple be detained and imprisoned until such day as shall lie designated and nam ed in the warrant of execution of the judg ment Hignea, attested and delivered as provided by law, and the case lie re- niarided to the said circuit court, with di rections to enter such judgment and sen tence as here indicated, and such war rant of execution be thereuptm issued ; that the warrant of execution of said judgment now in the hands of the sheriff of said Yamhill countv 1 set aside and icld for naught. THE STEADY BOOM. Several Additional I'.uildiiitrs Whose Construction L Projected or llegtUi. Evidences of the material prosiieritv of this city, and steady boom which it is enjoying, multiply. Every rejjortjof the new buildings which are projected and under way would seem to exhaust the ist; but still more are catching the in fection of building, and the erection of several new structures has been U;giin. It is nafe to say that business generally in Salem is better at present than it has been for years past. Jbdeed, it is doubt- iui ii mere was ever at any time greater confidence in the future of the city, and capitalists were more willing to invest in city proerty. Eligible building lots. both for building houses and jirivate residences, are at a premium. The amount of money which will chamm n ands this summer through transfers of prtnierty and improvements, and which will remain in Salem, will run into the unureos ot thousands. To the numerous structures on which work has alreadv been beiun. fir frir which lines are being drawn, and which have already been reported, are adWi the following : Wm. England and H. W. ( !itf la hatA decided to construct adjoining the State Insurance company's building on the north, a two-story brick building, with 4 feet frontage. In the structure will be two store-rooms, and upstairs offices will le fitted up. This structure will lie neat, substantial, and commodious. Work will le commenced as soon as the plans can be drawn aud the material obtained. The cost will lie about $t,ittO. George Watt is building in East Salem a very neat cottage. The building is al most completed, hut has i.t U'en plas tered. It will le finished in it lew weeks. Cost, $10011. L. M. Baker has commenced the con struction ot a very neat residence in South Salem. Ir. CariH-nter is making extensive im provements on his residence on Church street. A bay window is being placed in the north side of the house. J. H. McCormick will fix up the store room which was lately moved from next to llellenbrand's to tiie lot udioining the skating rink and will put in a stock of groceries. Mrs. C. 11. Colwell is making consider able improvements Ukjii her residence. The material for the construction of the industrial school building of the mute school has been ordered atul work will lie commenced soon. The new w arehouse of W. J. Ilerren at the corner of Water and I'nion streets bus imn commenced and work is going actively forward. The building w ill he substantial and will contain room fot a large quantity of grain. It is intended to finish the construction in ample time to receive the new crop. The city building next to the Capital Engine house, is being repaired by con tractor South wick. It has been known some time that the foundation of the structure was not sound, but repairs have been delayed. A solid foundation will be placed under the building and iron rods w ill be run from wall to wall. The brick adjoining on the east is in nearly us bad fix as the city building. The room in the state house, adjoining the governor's rooms, are lieing beauti fully frescoed. This room will W occu pied by the governor while his own rooms are fitted up. The appropriations of the late legislature for capital improvement purjtoses will all be devoted to the finish ing of the inside of the building. An in sjiection of the improvements will repay any one for his trouble. BP.API.V IVkp Bill Hyatt, a well known character of Salem, when sober is very good-natured, but when drunk is the most quarrelsome of men. Last niifht Hyatt entered the Columbia saloon on Commercial street and liegan liotherii! a man lrom Polk countv named Svkes who was playing pool, w ith the evident intention of picking a row. Seeing that Hyatt was drunk ykes tried to get rid of htm without trouble and treated him once or twice. But Bill kejit up his at tentions, ana so ykes, remarking that "lie was porn an orphan, but lie knew how to take care of himself." shoved him up in a corner and struck him, and then retired to another room. This sobered up Hyatt somewhat. When Sykes re turned into the saloon, he grabbed him ny the throat anil began choking him Sykes thereupon struck his assuilant in the face in quick succession half a dozen times, knocking him dow n, and kickin him us he fell. Hyatt was knocked senseless. He was carried to Minto's stable where his injuries were attended to. His head is hadlv bruised up, and he mil war uie mams oi iws encounter lor some time. Sykes returned to Polk county. No arrests. high V ater. During the past two weeks the river here has maintained a uniform height of seven and one half feet. This is very unusual for this season of the year, but is explained by the fact that the large quantity of snow in the mountains is gradually melting and swelling the mountain" streams. The mill company has shut down once on a count of high water, since the fair wea ther began, but is now able t run and there is no probability that it will have to stop again, the regular spring rise of the Columbia and snake rivers is now taking place. Ttie river at Portlund is anoiit eighteen teet above low water mark and nearly on a standstill. It has been necessary to move ail articles from the lower dock in that city. Toevson Takkn Home. Mr. Andrew T , joeyson, upon wiiom an assau. t was committed last Saturday at Newport, has been taken to his home," near Suver, Polk countv. His head shows several larw bruises, which he claims were made by the brass knuckles of the assailant, and uib ngni uiign is iracitireu. tie was brought on theO. P. train on a stretcher. as he was unable to sit up. While the evidence against Woodward, his sup posed assailant, is only circumstantial. suspicion points very strongly to him as the guilty party. A pair of knuckles were found in his possession, and lie told various improbable and contradictory sto ries about seeing Toevson fall over the nuiktiead. The Ii.waco Tkaukov. A report from llwaco, considered reliable, says Boss was killed by an Indian named "Tillamook Tom" w ho had been stationed with other Indians to guard the web. The Indians were placed there by owners, and nut re cognizing Boss, King and Green when they apiieared. lired with fatal result. FA'ery thing is quiet this evening. It is thought Major W. A. Jones will shortly make a iiersonal examination and report regarding the situation and the effect of traps on channels. "Tillamook Tom" is the same Indian who killed a man named Duncan on Clatsop jilains three years ago. Kehioned. Dr. Siddall, of The Dalles, who was apjiointed by Governor Pen noyer as one of the four dental commis sioners, has handed in his resignation to the governor. This action on the part of Dr. Siddall was induced by the fact that he is not a native American, and had never taken out his first naturaliza tion jiajiers until shortly liefore lie re ceived his appointment. On this ac count several disgruntled jioliticians "kicked," and the doctor, not wishing to be criticised, resigned. The vacancy will be filled shortly. A Ct'ltiosiTV. A curiosity which has been exciting some attention on the streets of Salem for several days, is a bicycle which has its small wheel iu front. It is the projierty of Burt Lucas, of Monmouth, who manipulates it as handily as he does the regulation wheel. Hnd your friend In tbe eut the Weekly STATR4VAV RiMMr tll.A a laltlir fknim t-l n.. y.

The proierty consisted of 213.87 acres of land in tiie southern part of the county, and was knocked dow n to IVUand for the amount of his judgment, costs, etc. f:i,(ki2.50. The second was a parcel of land near Cham poeg. attached on a claim of Milton V. Smith against June Weston. The jirop erty was hid in by Smith for the amount of his judgment 1533.10. The third was the house of Sam'l L. McGhee, which was sold to satisfy a judgment of $754.38 obtained by Joint M. McGhee. The projierty was bid in by John McGhee for the amount of his judgment and costs. Waiting fob Pies. The force of men which has lieen jiutting in the iron pijie for the water works has run out of sup plies, und will have to wait until new pipe cun lie brought from San Francisco, which will probably Is' this week. Work will then he commenced on the mains at the junction of Commercial and Ferry streets, and the old 0-inch wooden mains running up the latter street will be replaced with 8-inch iron ones. This pipe leads up this street and crosses the corner of the university campus to the state house. In a very few months the entire svstem of mains in the city will be iron. The steam pumis are exacted from San Francisco in thirty days, anil will be placed in position immediately. A 1. aiic :k Nt'MiiKR. l'ioii the back of the programmes for the public recital of Miss Chamlierlin and pupils, on next Wednesday evening, are being printed the names of those fifty-seven ladies, all pupils of Miss Chanihcrlin, who make up the ladies' chorus. The pieces which they are to sing are exceptionally fine and the manner iti which they are ren dered is charming. The box-sheet for the recital will lie ojened at Pattou's tomorrow,- Monduy. The souvenir pro grammes which" are being prepared for the occasion ure very pretty, und will serve as a fitting memento of' the enter tainment. The admission is uniformly ;: cents. Wti.i, l'.xi hasok Port-ties. Posti-aster Odell luwt night received ins: rr. t ions from Chief Clark Wm. T. Henry ui the railway mail service, to exchange mail pouches with Turner and Albuny, on the Eugene express, beginning June 1st. This will be good newB to many who have been kicking about the inconven ience of the mails. The Statesman will now reach Corvallis and all points on the O. P. the same day it is published, in stead of lying over at Albany until the next day. It was through" 1'ostmuster Odell's efforts that this extra service was obtained. The next step will tie the route agent on this train. Maki-I.e's Skstksck. Marple, the Yamhill county murderer, will he re sentenced by .ludge Boise during the regular term of court in September. No doubt strong efforts w ill be made to se cure a commutation of Marple's sentence, on the ground that the evidence against him was merely circumstantial, and not as conclusive us it ought to lie. But those disinterested jiarties who heard the whole of the testimony during the trial declare that nothing could be more certain circumstantially than that Mar ple is guilty. It is hardly possible that he can escujie hanging. Indian Wab Vktekans. Bennett camp No. 8, Indian war veterans, held a meet ing at the court house yeBterday after noon, Judge Shaw presiding; T. B.

Keclus siivb the islanders of New Guinea are married not according to their own inclinations, but those of their par ents. They are most frequently affianced at a very tender age, but are afterward forbidden to associate w ith each other; indeed, this is carried so far that the girl may not even look at her future husband. Both must avoid all contact with the memliers, masculine and feminine, of the familv into w Inch they are about to enter. The wedding ceremonies are characterized by a reserve and a modesty very remarkable in a savage people of the trojiics. Adorned with tiie most lieautiful ornaments, the bride is con ducted at night., in a torchlight iroces sion, through the village. One woman carries her on her hack, while another binds her arms as though she were a captive, und leads her by the roje to the house of her betrothed. This is a symliol of slavery, a souvenir of the an cient servitude which the aristocratic class has preserved. There is nothing of this in the iinwessions of the tsxir. On reaching tiieir destination, the bride groom is presented to the bride's relatives, who lead him into her cIiiuuIkt. She. awaits him with her back turned, indicating that she does not dar to meet his conipiering gaze. The young man approaches within two feet of her, turns on his heel, and then they ure back to back, in the midst of a numerous assembly, the men on one Bide, the women on the other. After the entertainment the bride is led into her own room, still not daring to meet the terrible glance of her husband, and keep ing her hack turned to the door ; seeing this, the husband also turns his back on her. The whole night is spent in this inanner; they sit there motionless, hav ing some one to brush away the flies, and without sjieuking a word. ' If they grow sleejiy, some one of the assistants, who take turns in doing the service, nudges them with his ellsjw. If they keep wide uwuke they are assured of a long life and green old age. In the morning they sep urute, still without looking at each other, in order to reiresh themselves after the fatigues of the previous night. This per formance is continued for four nights, and on the fifth morning, with the first ravs of the sun, the young jieojile may look each other full in the face. That suffices ; the marriage is considered accomplished, and the newly wedded jiair receive the customary congratulations. AH the Year Bound.
