FROM TUESDAY'S DAILY.
F'ikemkn's Toitrnakkst. Advices from
the state firemen's association
give assurance that the forlh
ceming annual meeting lit Vancouver
promises to be a flattering success, not
withstanding nome outside embarrass
merit. The action of llm Salem depart
ment was not hi course conducive to
harmony in the ranks, but the firemen of
Vancouver are not easily discouraged
and will spare no pains to make all wel
come who will favor them with their
presence. The Astoria firemen are
drilling regularly and will as usual pro
gent a ratiling team. The Albany boys
are preparing for the event, while teams
are exacted from bulb l,ehanon and
Eugene l!ity. There will be the usual
reduction in fates of transportation, the
O, At C. K. K. selling round trip tickets
for one and one-liflh fare. The action of
the Capital engine in reconsidering their
motion to withdraw (nun the association,
meets with tho approval of their friends
every where, and its delegates will be
present to further the interests of t he
volunteer firemen. Walla Walla, Seattle,
and Tacoma, huve euch furnished their
assistance and Vancouver will present a
hose team that w ill make it. more or less
lively for all cornetitors. It is to be re
gretted that Salem is not to be represent
ed in the various etiritests, as with the
material at present in the department,
thev could get up a team that would le,
to say the least, very hard to beat.
Many individual firemen will, however,
niake it a ioint to he present, and a
pleasant time is guaranteed to all who
may attend.
A Female Thief. On Sunday night
Sheriff Minto arrested at Pallas, upon
a warrant which had been sworn out by
Geo. F. Smith, the auctioneer, of this
city, a young woman who is sailing un
der the name of Nellie Buckley, and who
had stolen from the house of the com
plainant, while temporarily in his em
ploy, various articles of apparel, etc. She
was brought to this city and placed in
the county jail until yesterday afternoon,
when she was arraigned for examination
in Justice U'lHinald's court. The accused
was very stubborn, and refused to plead,
or to have any witnesses subponaod on
her behalf, and was impertinent to the
justice and district attorney. She was
accordingly bound over to await the ac
tion of the grand jury in $100 bonds
which were not furnished. She said she
did not want any bondsmen. Miss Huck
ley has rather a cloudy reputation as a
jietit larceny thief. She came to this
city from Portland and The Dalles, where
she says her mother lives, and after re
maining here for a few days left for Kola,
where she is said to have stolen several
articles, and for Dallas, where she stole
some monev.
Jixon Caiti hki). It will be remem
lert)d that some time since, Charles P.
Dixon, Canadian Pacific railroad agent
at Portland, left for parts unknown, lieing
a defaulter in various ameuuts. Ihxon
returned to Portland, Saturday, from Vic
toria, to see his wife, who had, during
h in absence, procured a divorce from Inm,
and otlieers having received notification
of his whereabouts, he was arrested
shortly after 12 o'clock that night by
Sheriff Jordan. When Dixon left Port
land without notice, the American Surety
company was on his bond for $5(KKt, and
had to pay $2,7 for which he was in
defat.lt.

occasion of their graduation, from their
respective parents, as rewards for their
meritorious completion of their three
years' course.

FATAL A WIDEST.
An Old 51an Sained Veeiiau. Aed
about Seventy Years, Kim Over
hv the California Express.
Wednesday evening while the
California express was thundering along
toward Salem, lietweeii the fair ground
and Parrish's orchard, Engineer Phil.
Corkin suddenly saw in front of the loco
motive, lying upon the side of a small
bridge, the body of a man. He immedi
ately turned on all the power of the air
brakes, but such was the momentum of
t he train that the speed had hardly been
slackened when the man, who had raised
his head slightly, was struck in the fore
head by the pilot and thrown into the
ditch.
The train was stopped and the unfortu
nate man placed on board, and the train
moved on to Salem. It was discovered
that the man, whose name was learned
to he Johu Veenan, wss struck over the
right eye, and that his skull was badly
fractured. He was laid upon tin; plat
form at the depot, and made as comfort
able as circumstances would permit. A
physician was summoned, who pro
nounced it as his opinion that the victim
of the accident had not long to live. He
was taken to the residonee of his daugh
ter in Last Salem, Mrs. W. S. Hoyt, liv
ing near the Fast Salem school bouse.
It seems probable that the oid nun,
who i about 70 years of age, childi-h,
and subject to epileptic fits, had .,ri
dered down the railroad track, and while
mion the small bridge mentioned, hail
fallen in a tit. His body was almost
distinguishable from the rails, su.d
no wonder that the engineer d. I

Veenan had not raised his head y..

NEW SUPERINTENDENT.
Dr. Hai ry Lane, of Portland, Appoint
ed ti Snccri'd Superintendent of
the Asylmn Josephi.
Monday, at the regular monthly
meeting of the board of asyKm commis
sioners, consisting of Governor Pennoyer,
Secretary McRride and Treasurer Webb,
Dr. Harry Lane, of Portland, was ap
pointed superintendent of the insane asy
lum, to succeed Dr. S. K. .Tosephi.
Two ballots were taken. The first one
stood, Lane, 1, Dr. J. L. Hill, of Albany,
1. and Dr. James A. Richardson, oi The.
Italics, 1. On the next ballot, Lane re
ceived two votes and Richardson one.
The votes on the first billot were, Pen
noyer for Lane, Webb for Jllill and Mc
I'.ride for Richardson; and on the sec
ond .Mr. Welih. in deference to Pennoy-1
er's wishes, voted for Lane, thus elect
ing him .
This position of superintendent of the
insane asylum has been the principal
bone of contention anion'.' the Democrats
of Oregon ever since ihe installation of
the new administration. Although many
names were mentioned in connection
with the place, the friends of but five or
six prominent Democratic, physicians
made any active effort to secure the ap
pointment. Prominent among these were
Doctors Hill and Maston, of Albany, and
it was generally thought that one of these
two would secure the coveted position.
The contest was warm, and Governor
lVnnoyer, considering that no hard feel
ings would be engendered between fac
tions by the appointment of some one
who had not entered actively into the
canvass, decided to secure the appoint
ment ol Dr. Lane, notwithstanding the
fact that that gentleman last week wrote
him a letter, withdrawing his name from
the consideration of the board in connec
tion with the Hiiperintendeucy. Thus
was his nomination made. Iane will as
sume his new position on July 1st, the
late upon which Or. Joscphrs resigna
tion takes eflect.
The new superintendent is a prominent
physician of Portland, a grandson of Gen.
Jos. Lane, D2 vears of age, with a
wife and two children, lie attended the
Willamette university here a numtier of
years since, and is a graduate of the
medical department of that institution,
lie has been successful in his profession
in Portland, and is said to be well qual
ified to fill satisfactorily the duties of the
responsible position to which he has
"been elected. His terra of otlice will be
four years.
Dr. Josephi, who will retire from the
superintendency of the asylum after ser
vice of over a year, has shown himself
in everv way to tie the right man in the
right place. His experien-e before his
assumption of the position eminently fit
ted him to take upon himself the respon
sibility of managing the immense institu
tion and looking after the welfare of its
500 patients. The Oregon insane asylum
under his management has been without
doubt one of the best directed and most
ably handled state institutions west oi
the Missouri river. Dr. Josephi both as
physician and manager of an asylum is
without a superior in Oregon. It is
deeply to be regretted that political ne
cessities should have required a change
in the management of the asylum.
Dr. Josephi will return with his family
to Last Portland, whence he came. He
will either resume the practice of his
profession, or est, ;l!i h a private sanita
rium for the cure of the invalid sick and
insane. He and his estimable w ile will
be missed from this city in many ways.
Dr. J. A. Richardson, for whom Mr.
Mcllride cast his vote, was not a candi
date. Mr. Webb is said to have very
much desired Dr. Hill's apointment.
AS IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.
ProjKKtio:i for the Establishment of a
Fruit r.vuMrati:i!T Establish
ment in Sale in.
Mr. Trescott, representing C. E. Tree
cott i- Co., of Chicago, has been making
his headquarters in Salem for sometime,
looking over tin- country, with a view to
the establishment of a fruit evaporating
establishment at some point in Oregon.
He has interested parties of Salem in the
subject, slid it has been thoroughly in
vestigated, as to th quality of the pro
duct arid, the character of the Messrs.
Trescott.
There is no doubt that the evaporated
fruit is a staple. Evaporated apples are
now worth 15 cents per pound in Chicago
and 1 4 cents in San Francisco.
Tho following agreement w ill show the
shape this matter has taken :
We hereby agree to subscribe the num
ber of shares set opposite our names to a
stock company, the object of which is
to erect a fruit "evaporating establishment
with a capacity of from OHO to H(lt) bush
els of fruit iier day, and to employ from
seven! v-live to eighty-five people. The
number of shares to he sixty, w ith a par
value of $100 each.
Names. Shares. Amount.
C. Trescott & Co. .'ill $30110.
K. S. Wallace 10 1000.
Chas. P. Moores 1 KM).
Hendricks Saubert 1 100.
W. II. Cottle 1 100.
J. II. Albert 1 100.
J. M. Rosenberg &Co. 1 100.
Amos Strong 1 100.
J. M. Martin & Co. 1 100.
It will tie seen that this leaves thirteen
shares, or $1.'5(K), yet to be subscribed,
and the enterprising people will surely
see the iuqMjrtance of encouraging such
an enterprise. 1 hey will certainly come
; i the front and see that the remaining
vim is subscribed immediately, so that
the machinery may tie ready for this
year s crop.
It is understood that a suitable
building in an eligible location
can be rented for the establisl
meiit at a reasonable price, and
as the goods are staple, there would be
i,o trouble to start the business, and, if
..li-i tv of fruit can lie secured, make a
: -i.e. -ens of it on a capital of $0,0(10. 1 his
l is toe cheauest price at which Salem
cjuld secure the employment of so many
oeoole. besides furnishing a ready i
ket for all the fruit of this section, as the
caimc.itv need only be limited to the
amount of fruit that can be seeured.
Anvone wishing to pledge the subscrip
ti,,n iif anv of the remaining thirteen
shares of stock may lie accommodated at
the business office of the Statesman, and
mav also see earn pies of evaporated fruit
and letters ot reference.
FROM WEDNESDAY'S DAILY.
Firemen's Contests Tho committee
on athletic sjiortB has decided to offer
a prize of fifty dollars for a steamer

lowing regulations: Steam engine to run

forty-five men on tho rope ; hose compa
nies to run nine hundred feet, with three

be screwed on and if blown off no time to
be given; time to be called when water
Viasses through nozzle. It whs also de-
eided to offer a first prise of $50, and sec- j
ond prize of ,, for a wet hose race on
der the following regulations; Hose
company of twelve men to run 200 yards
to hydrant; attach and lay 3'K) feet of
hose; uncouple and screw on piie time
to lie called when water leaves pipe;

of $25 and second prize of $10 was offered
for 12 boys of 16 years of age, or under,
to run 200 yarns and carry 200 pounds of
coal. A prize of $20 was offered for the
winner of a 125 yard foot race. No doubt
all these contests w ill he interesting.
Stricken with Paralysis. Yesterday
morning, at 11 o'clock, Mrs. Susan L.
Froman, wife oi Tiios. Froman, living a
few miles from Albany, who hail come
with her husband to attend the funeral
of her brother-in-law, D. W. Jones, four
miles south of Salem, while crossing a
room at the Jones residence, was stricken
with paralysis, and rendered helpless
and speechless. Medical aid was hastily
summoned, but all to no avail, as Mrs.
Froman died in the afternoon, about four
o'clock. She recovered her speech short
ly after the attack, and was able to con
verse with her husband for about two
hours. Cp to the time she was stricken,
Mrs. F'roman appeared in her usual good
health, and no suspicion of the coming
attack was had by her friends, and, so
far as is known, by herself. The case is
a particularly sad one. About a week
since, Mrs. Jroman s daughter was bur
ied, and her niece is now lving very ill
at Seattle, and was unable to irtend her
father's funeral. Mrs. Froniau's br.iv
will be taken to Albany on the 11 o'do k
train, ibis morning.
Reward Claimed. On November
11th, 1880, Gov. Moody offered a reward
of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the
murderers, not yet apprehended, of eith
er D. I. Corker, Yamhill county, Thos.
Kenealy, Multnomah county, or Richard
Grant, Grant county, subject to the ap
proval of the legislature. Through the
efforts of Detective A. .B. Singleton, of
Portland, Marple, the murderer of Cor
ker, was brought to justice. Yesterday
Singleton through his attorneys sent a
letter to Governor Pennoyer, claiming
his reward. It appears, however, that
Marple had been arrested before Gov.
Moody offered the reward, and by the
terms of the proclamation, inasmuch as
the $500 was offered for the arrest and
conviction of murderers not yet appre
hended, Singleton is no entitled to any
remuneration from the state. Even if
he were, Gov. Pennoyer would not be
authorized to pay any reward until the
legislature directs him to do so. It
would seem that Detective Singleton
will have to wait a little while for his
$500.

FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.
Insasr. A few days since a tall, thin
faced man, with a long flowing grey
beard, roughly and poorly clad, and who
bore the marks of a son of Bohemia on
his countenance and general make-up,
applied at this office for work, claiming
to be a journalist, hut one to whom trie
world hail been unkind. He spoke with
a strong "Cockney" accent, and claimed
to be a native of Canada. He wandered
about the city for a couple of days, but
seemed to secure no work, when vester-
i day some one directed him to County
Judge Shaw. He rambled along in his
conversation with Judge Shaw, and it
became evident to the judge, as it had to
others, that the man's mind was tin
balanced. He was accordingly arrested,
i and examined, the result being a com
i mitment to the asvhnn. It transpired
that his name was James Stewart, anil
that his vears were about 52. It was also
learned that he was on his way from
Washington territory to almost any
where, and on his way here that he had
swam the Willamette river at Oregon
City. He also wanted to jump from the
court house. His malady is plainly
suicidal. The man has evidently seen
better days, and more than likely ill
health and reverses have so preyed on
his mind that the above could be the
only result.
Bouxi) Over. On Sunday a man nam
ed Stevens, living atGervais, entered the
house of Mrs. Dr. Lewis and forcibly
ejected them therefrom. Stevens then
picked up a hatchet and began destroy
ing articles of furniture, among which
was an organ. Officers were notified of
Stevens' doings, and when they reached
the scene of his work, the fellow held
them at bay with a revolver, and it was
some time before he was captured. It
appears that Stevens owns the house in
which Mrs. Lewis resides, and he had at
tempted to force her to remove. She
claimed that the time for which she had
leased the house does not expire until
June 20th. Stevens took this method of
obtaining possession. He was examined
on two ciiarges, assault with a dangerous
weapon and resisting officers, and was
bound over to await the action of the
grand jury in $1500.
CorxTY Roads. The county commis
sioners' court yesterday ordered a county

Ogle, Sampson Jones, and John Brooks
were appointed viewers, with John New-
some surveyor, ihey will meet at Gol-
hns' end of the proposed road on June
10. A new road from Mulkey's place
near Mehama to Fern ridge, was also
ordered constructed, and Joseph Cox, F.
U. Hull and Henry Carter appointed
viewers, to meet on June 22d.

Sunday and Yesterday.,
Sunday morning, the large arditorium
of the M. F'. church was crowded to over
flowing by an audience of students,
friends of the university, and others
anxious to hear the baccalaureate dis
course of Bishop 0. II. Fowler, D. D., LL.
D. The decorations were very appropri
ate and pretty. Across the upper part of
the large organ was hung in ivy "Class
of 1887," and the space around the pulpit
was filled with decoration of ivy, ever
green, and flowers. The class of 1 SS7
occupied front seats.
The bishop chose for his text, "Where
fore do ye spend money for that which is
not bread?" Isaiah, chap. lv. verse 2.
The sermon, the delivery of which occu
pied over an hour, was powerful, direct,
original, and impressive. The attention
the audience was held throughout.
One great beauty of the address was its
simplicity. Hardly a word was used
Inch a child could not understand, t he
barge to the class was particularly line.
No synopsis could begin to do justice to
the discourse, so none is attempted.
The university sermon was preached
in the evening by Rev. G. M. Erwin, A.
at 8 n. m. ihe church was again
filled, both in the main auditorium and
gallery. The sermon was able and lnter-

At 3 p. m., yesterday afternoon, was
given in the chapel a popular recital, by
the pupils of the conservatory of music.
Notwithstanding ttie tnreatenmg weattier,
a good-sized audience was present. The
entertainment was an interesting one,
performers acquitting themselves with
credit. Miss Hallie Parrish's "Inflam-
matus" is worthy of particular mention.
BISHOP FOWLER'S LECTURE.
The lecture of Bishop Fowler at the
university chapel in the evening wa9 at
tended by a large, and truly an appre
ciative audience. ihe lecture was a
masterpiece of eloquence and a marvel
of historical fact condensed into vivid
word-pictures. The tributes to Lord
NelBon, the hero of Trafalgar, to Welling
ton, Napoleon, Grant, and, lastly, to
Lincoln, were things to be pleasantly
and profitably remembered.
THIRD DAY.
Tuesday mornins: from 9 to 12 were
held public examinations in the univer
sity in the following studies: 9 o'clock,
class book, astronomy; 10 o'clock, ele
mentary algebra, geometry; 11 o'clock,

ciency in the branches studied was mani
fested.

on.' YVeoer, oy Misses jairympie,
Moores. Brevman and Dalrymple. The
selection was rendered admirably and
was a fitting prelude for the excellent
numbers which followed. Miss Lois

Ethel Cusick. ''La Heine deFees," Smith,
was excellently rendered and highly ap
preciated. The vocal solo oi ansa name rurrisii
which followed, "Let Me Dream Again,'
was a touching selection, sung with much
feeling. Miss Mabel Adair played, with
great precision of execution, laran
telle." Heller. The "Carnival de Yen
ice," Oesten, ot Miss Kditli Hughes, was
very finely played. Miss Hughes's ren
dition of this difficult selection was al
most faultless. The eight-hand selection
"Dance of the Fairies," fowler, was very
commendably executed by Misses Reyn
olds. Abrams. Rings, and Adair. Schu
liert's "Impromptu in li rial .Major,
rendered bv Miss Helen Eden, was splen
didlv rendered, and showed the excellent
training she had received. Miss Edf
exhibits great proficiency, and it is not
too much to say that, with study, she will
become a (noshed performer.
Part second of the programme opened
with a concert solo by Prof. Coomer
"Delecla." with variations. Prof
Coomer's marvelous execution won him
a hearty encore.
Miss Jessie Oalrymple lolloued in
Chonin's "Valse Briliante," Op. :14. Miss
Dalrymple possesses line technique, and
the valse wus splendidly played. Mo
zart's "Sonale in D Major," a duet for
two pianos, was perfectly performed,
both as to execution and time, by Misses
Laura Goltra and Lulu Smith. The se
lection was a brilliant one. Miss Jessie
Hreyinan in a "Polka Brilliante," by
Spindler, for such a young pupil, dis
played astonishing nroficiency as a
jierfornier. Her rendition was almost
perfect, and her playing was much ap
preciated. Miss llallie Parrish sang in
very sweet voice "In Questo Sempliee,"
Donizetti. Miss Parrish's vocal execu
tion was very line. She was very warm
ly applauded. The "Larghetto and Al
legro l'assionato," from Op. 70, Weber,
by Miss Jones, was a remarkable per
formance. Miss Jones executes aston
ishing runs without a break, and her
rendition of this most difficult selection,
as well as any other she undertakes, w as
well nigh perfect. Her superior as an
amateur performer has never appeared
in Salem ; and indeed it is doubtful if
ever her equal has.
This selection was the last of a pro
gramme whose rendition had given to
the appreciative audience the greatest of
enjoyment. The care which their teacher
bail taken in instructing her pupils was
very evident, and Miss Jones s methods
of instruction were j ettiilcd in a most
gratifying m.mner. Miecan congratulate
herself that the performances of her
pupils reflected great credit upon herself
as a teacher.
