F1W)1I .SATURDAY'S DAILY.
FROM SUNDAY'S DALLY.
Hkld roa CaomrAL Ldsl. For some
time past O T. Porter, of the Albany
Bulletin, and Geo. Rogers, of the Salem
Lance, have been exchanging personal
" courtesies" through their respective pa
pers in regard to certain acts of each oth-
er. An item wnicn appeared in last
week's Lance was too much for Porter,
and on Thursday he swore out a warrant
for the arrest of Rogers charging him
with criminal libel, and sent Constable
Burkhart, of Aloany, down to Salem to
arrest Mr. Rogers. Mr. Burkhart came
and returned with him to Albany the
same night. Rogers was arraigned be
fore Justice Humphrey, and was placed
under $200 bonds to appear the next
morning, but was released on his own
recognizance. Yesterday morning Rog
ers appeared before the justice and
waived examination, He was bound
over in $200 bonds, to appear before the
next orand iurr of Linn eountv. which
meets in March. Bonds were promptly
furnished and yesterday afternoon's train
brought back to Salem the editor of tbe
Lance. The item upon which the charge
of criminal is made is as follows : "The
mule of the Albany Bulletin asked us to
inform him as to the truth of a certain
article published in the Oregon 8 if tings
in regard to us. Even if it were true, it
could not be painted as black as the little
item in regard to tbe time that you called
your son Tracy into your bed-room, that
he might witness the brave act of pulling
your wife out of bed by the hair of her
bead and otherwise abuse her, hoping
thereby to goad the poor woman to apply
for a divorce, to enable you to continue a
liaison with a giddy girl. Perhaps Mis
ery could be induced to write it up for
the Sittings. Eh f " The case will come
up at the March term of tbe circuit court,
at which time some interesting deve lope
men ts are promised.
A Lively Rujuwait. Visitors to the
scene of the Bennett House fire were yes
terday morning treated to a view of an
exciting episode. The two horses
hitched to the hack of Minto Bros, came
dashing around the corner from the Mon
roe house and ran at a breakneck pace
down State street. Douglas Minto, the
driver, was making strenuous efforts to
stop the exiited team, but control over
them could not be regained. When op
posite the Capital engine house, Mr.
Minto managed to turn the horses toward
the sidewalk opposite the engine house,
and the whole concern went dashing into
the awning and meat market at that
place. Tbe horses, hack, driver, passen
gers, and all, came to a sudden stop, and
two posts of the awning were knocked
completely out. How the driver and
young fellow who was riding with him
managed to keep their seats is a myste
ry. The two passengers, who during the
whole time had been shut up in the
hack opened the door and jumped out
hastily into a sea of mud in their anxiety
to get out of danger. Grest credit is due
to Mr. Minto for his courage and presence
of mind in stopnu.g the team as he did,
in a manner so regardless of his own
safety. Otherwise the lives of his pas
sengers might have been sacrificed.
The Mikstsels. The entertainment
of the H. A. C. minstrels at the opera
bouse last evening was well attended.
The arrangement of the stage was very
nice. The first part was well rendered,
the music was very good, and the jokes
and local hits were enjoyed by all present.
"Tit Willow," by J. II. Ross, deserves
especial mention. The song and chorus,
"Climbing up the State House Stairs,"
by Billy Dugan, brought down the bouse.
Harry Jackson, Charley Kelly, Keller
and Hastings, Coomer, Prof. Ryley,
George Uoeye, Billy Dugan and in fact
all those who took part in the entertain
ment, not by any means omitting those
who furnished the music, did well jn
their several parts. The Mischievous
Twins, tbe concluding farce, was good
enough for professionals. The original
"Jumbo' appeared, aod took the house
by storm. The entertainment was very
satisfactory in a financial way.
Bio Bones. Messrs. Palmers, of Hay
ton, Yamhill county, have recently dis
closed, or discovered, another "one of
Oregon's wonders." It was discovered
in the bed of Palmer's creek, and proves
to be the petrified bones of the mantodon,
or some other gigantic animal that exist
ed thousands of years ago, whose race is
now extinct. The bones are unusually
large, even for a mastodon, unless, as it
evidently seems, it was an exceptionally
large one. These bones were discovered
but a few days since. Mr. Palmer says
be is positive the nt of the skeleton can
be found at the same place, and when
the high water recedes, he will make a
more thorough investigation.
Caocr. This dangerous disease is gen
erally prevalent at this season of the
year. Prepare for it by getting a bottle
of "Imprwvsd Hive Syrap and Honey"
at Port's. No. 100 State street.
Rem are able. The Oregonian of Sept,
13, 1886, says : "Professor Morris gave
his thirty-second lecture in Portland last
evening, and although he raised the ad
mission fee, the hall was more crowded
than any evening before. Hie lecture
was very much appreciated. At its close
he paired off three couples phrenologi
callv. Then while blind-folded he exam
ined ten gentlemen, five republicans and
five democrats, and told their politics,
and then ten more and told tbe German
from the British descent," Don't miss
the free lecture at Salem, opera bouse, on
Monday evening, January 17th.
Beiixje Blown Dow. The water
company some time ago erected a suspen
sion bridge to tbe middle of the mill
pood, so that communication with the
wheel of the wire cable leading to the
water wheel at the agricultural works
might be bad. The high wind of Thurs
day night proved too moch for the
bridge, and blew it into tbe water.
New Liohts. Wash. Stim peon's sa
loon is now brilliantly lighted with the
new incandescent system of electric
lights. It works fine. Strong's restau
rant has also adopted the system throngh
out. and now has both the incandescent
and are system of lights. It is immense.
Win. Wolf and T. McF. Patton have also
adopted the incandescent system.
Elxoaxt. Strong has now in his em
ploy one of the finest bakers on the
Pacific Coast, who understands his busi
ness in every particular. His display of
cake now on hand is elegant, and they
are sold cheaper than yoa can make
them yourself.
Waa Rkkxwcd. War between Ireland
and Italy has been renewed. The States
man, tha other day" told a simple little
tale, wherein the Irish duke and Italian
count were living together in beautiful
harmony, running a turn market and pea
nut stand. But peace no longer reigns,
and grim-visaged war has put in appear
ance. It appears that the count entered
into partnership some time ago with the
duke, and put his peanut roaster into the
business. Now he seeks to withdraw
from the firm, but he of the fish market
won't have it. Attorneys have been en
gaged on each aide, but so far no damage
has been done, except that some very bad
language in Irish-Italian and mongrel
English has been indulged in. The end
is not yet.
Two Appoixtmests. Gov. Tennoyer
has decided to appoint Hon. Robert
Clow, of Polk county, superintendent of
the penitentiary, and M. J. McKinnon,
of Multnomah county, first warden. Mr.
Clow was a joint senator from Polk and
Benton counties for the legislatures of
1880 and 1882, and is well known on the
west side of the river. He has a reputa
tion for integrity and capacity. There
were a. number of applicants for tbe
place, among whom was Wm. II. Wat-
kinds, of Portland, who had strong recom
mendations. Mr. Collins, the present
superintendent, haa made a very efficient
officer, and be will retire with the con'
sciousness that he has done his duty
well.
Tendered His Resignation. With
the retirement of Gov. Moody, R. P.
Ear hart, late secretary of state, tendered
his resignation as adjutant general of the
state to Gov. Pennoyer. Mr. Earhart's
successor has not yet been named. The
law makes it incumbent on the secretary
of state to keep the military records, yet
he could not properly be considered the
bead of military correspondence without
an appointment as adjutant general, and
Gov. Moody, therefore, commissioned
him as such officer. There is a great
deal of hard work connected with the du
ties of this office, but no pay ; and tbe
militia of the state feel under very great
obligations to Mr. Earhart, whose efforts
have so often and continuously been di
rected towards its improvement and ad
vancement. Poets axd Poetbt ok America. The
writer had the pleasure of listening to
Rev. J. R. N. Bell's lecture on the "Po
ets and Poetry of America," a few years
since, and can Bay it was one of the most
interesting lectures he ever heard. Tbis
lecture wss writen in answer to oae of
Dr. J. M. F. Browne, of Portland, on the
"Poets and Poetry of Greece," which was
delivered to a Salem audience, several
years since. Dr. Bell has a wide reputa
tion as a pleasant and able lecturer, and
it is to be hotted he may have a crowded
house on Tuesday night next. Hie
lecture will be delivered at the Congre
gational church for the benefit of the
literary and social society. An admis
sion price of ten cents will be taken at the
door to defray the expenses of the lecture.
A Temporary Abjumormbvt. When
the Capitals' steamer burst its air cham
ber the other morning, the probability
was that the engine would be rendered
useless until a new chamber could be
brought from the east. Johnny Dugan,
yesterday, put on a keavy iron chamber
in place of tbe burs ted one, and in the
afternoon the steamer was tested, and
proved to be almost as good as ever. The
steamer will now be serviceable until
complete repairs are made. It must have
taken an immense pressure to burst the
old chamber. At the first test of the
steamer, 350 pounds of steam to the
square inch were raised, and the steamer
didn't try, either.
Tin Bexkett House Fire. Workmen
have started to clearing away the debris
from the scene of the Bennett house fire.
Chinamen and small boys were engaged
yesterday in hunting for more of the lost
money, and a little was found. A new
sidewalk will be built around the lot, and
in the spring it will be decided whether
to build anew or not. Messrs. Gray A
Sons have had a standing offer for five
years to the owners of the rest of the Chi
nese buildings on State street, to tear
down the Bennett house and remove it,
Crovided the same thing would be done
ythe latter. Chinatown may now be
gotten rid of.
To Have a Bridok. The citizens of
Oregon City have taken tbe initiatory
steps toward having a bridge across the
Willamette at that place. On Friday, a
vote of "bridge" or "no bridge" was
taken, and the result was 196 for ami 12
against. The city will advance $1,000,
the county $4000, and a syndicate of
land owners across the river the rest of
the money necessary to build a suspen
sion bridge about 70 feet above the
water and between 400 and 500 feet long.
It is extremely probable that the bridge
will be built.
Set roa Hearino. The case of the
State of Oregon vs. Nelson Dilley and
Henry Johns, convicted and sentenced to
fifteen and five years, respectively, in the
penitentiary, at tbe last term of the cir
cuit court for this county, has been ap
pealed to the supreme court, and will be
argued on next Thursday. These are the
two young men who entered the Chinese
camp, near Gervais, last fall, and stole a
small sum of money and shot a China
man. They are now in tbe penitentiary,
and the chances are that they will stay
there.
HuNTixa Clothino. Justice Payne's
office, on State street, was yesterday tbe
scene of an interesting spectacle. From
saorningtill night there was a constant
stream of visitors who were searching
for clothing, which was taken from the
Bennett House the morning of the fire.
Many articles were recovered, and many
more were missing. These latter were
probably stolen, as none of the articles
of apparel were lost in tbe fire. Many
pieces were unidentified.
The BEAunnn. Snow. For the first
