studies may be commensurate with hia
zeal in pursuing them.
The Waook Road Commiksioneks.
Another session of the military wagon
road commission was held at tue capitol
yesterday, but no testimony concerning
any of the roads was odered. The com
missioners sjient their time in talking
- with parties who are conversant with the
affairs of the wagon road companies.
. Indeed, they have let no opportunity
pass of informing themselves on the sub
ject under in ventilation by them.
Messrs. McXamee and Wharton, the
commissioners, leave to-day for Port
land, where they will remain for a short
time, and then go to The Dalles, in time
to begin the investigation into the
. affairs of The Dalles military wagon
road, which commences next Tuesday.
It will probably tie several months before
there gentlemen return to Saletn.
Mauckh m MintiiiEr. Yesterday morn
ing, Frank Bouiliard, a young man living
on the initentiary road, was treated on
complaint of Toy Lung, a Chinaman,
who charged him with unlawfully, ma
liciously snd wantonly cutting and sever
ing, on last Sunday, one head of cabbage
and one dozen encumbers from their gar
den situated south of the site of the late
fc oat meal mills. The Chinamen claim
that Bouiliard and others have frequently
amused themselves by mischievously de
stroying their garden. They stood it for
a long time, but at last had Bouiliard ar
rested. Owing to the inability of the
Chinamen to prove the ownership of
the ground upon which the occurrence
took place, Bouiliard was discharged.
To Hake a Tet. Headers of the
Herald are not unfamiliar with the com
plaints of overcharges on grain shipments
on the O. & C. between Tangent and chis
city, and of the steps taken by the rail
road com m dinners to correct the same.
A car load of grain has been shipped to
this city from Tangent in order to bring
an actual case specifically before the
commission. It was shipped by the
Farmers' Warehouse Co. at a cost of $1(5,
the rate to Portland being fX). The
matter will lie presented to the commis
sion at its next meeting. It is certainly
a plain discrimination against Albany,
and an abuse which shouM l corrected.
The commission w ill doubtless regard it
so. Albany Herald.
Assai l.TKD a Boy. The Orcgonian of
yesterday contained an account of an as
sault upon a boy named J. Daly, com
mitted Monday by Geo. Herren, forinerlvj
rJ ik; ..;,. K t;..x.-;ii.. ti.1
Oregonian's correspondent says that Mr.
Herren, with little or no provocation, in
the heat of passion, struck the boy with
a whip handle, cutting a gash three
inches in length on the top of his head.
I. Martin Giesy, of Aurora, was called
I- unit upon the injured boy, who was
ing easy, at last accounts. Herren
not arrested. The fact that nothing
Ha attempted to he done with him u .J
indicate that the Oregonian corre-nd-ent's
version was somewhat colored.
Nearly Finished. Tin workmen a ho
have been engaged uMti the governor's
-looms at the state hou.se for the iast two
months have nearly finished. The scaf
folding has been removed, and au unob
structed view of the beautiful fresco
work which has been done may now be
had. The apartments will be ready for
occupancy next week. The room which
has been used by Gov. Fennoyer and
Irivate Secretary Manly while the work
was progressing will also be attached to
the executive apartments, and a most
handsome suit of rooms they will be.
The office of the clerk of the land board,
-who intended to occupy one of the rooms,
will probably be removed to the lower
floor. '

hardware store, an undertaking estab
lishment, and lots of pretty girls. There
are fire large warehouses here, exclusive
of tbe railroad warehouse, aad about
100,000 bushels of wheat are handled at
this point each year. It is also one of
the largest produce shipping points in
the valley.
The City hotel of Henry Koester has
just had a new addition of a dining
room and sleeping rooms added, and has
been thoroughly renovated and improved
throughout.
The new Presbyterian church building
is now well under way. It is being built
by Geo. Cline, of Salem, and its cost will
be $1,200-
The city hall has just been repainted,
and F street has been re-planked, at a
cost of about $500.

Chas. Overly and M. Diviny are the
section bosses of the two sections which
center at Gervais, and the O. & C. people
have been trying the experiment of work
ing white men here on the sections, in
stead of Chinamen. There are six men
nnder these two bosses, and the experi
ment is very satisfactory. Nearly all the
men have families.
Scott Taylor is city recorder and ex
officio police judge, and Pete Mickel is
marshal and nightwatchman. Joe Pur
dom, ex-sheriff of Douglas county, is de
pot airent.

business this fall and winter.
THE OREGON PACIFIC.
Contract for Sixty More Miles Let
The Work Reins: Pnslied Viqrorons
ly Scarcity of Men.
It is stated on what is considered re
liable authority that the contract for the
construction of sixty miles more of the
road eastward on the Oregon Pacific has
been let to G. W. Hunt. This includes
the gap )etween the work at the summit
and Nelson Bennett's contract for thirty
miles, and will finish the road from Al
bany to the summit of the Cascades.
Altogether there are about 1000 men at
work on the line from the crossing of
of the Santiam eastward. Parties who
come from Mehama state that the line of
the proposed road presents a busy scene.
Five parties of right-of-way men, under
the supervision of sub-contractors, are at
work just below Mehama, across the
Santiam, while the boom of the blasts
which are being fired to cut away a point
of rock obstructing the line is heard con
tinually. A camp of workmen is being
established at the summit, who will
work westward, while the work from
this end of the line will be crowded in
that direction. There are about 100
men at work on the east end of Mr,
Bennett's division, and others are being
tent forward a rapidly as they can be
engau"-!. T:. contractor is paying J4
4T i;iy man and team and $2 per
man without team. Notwithstanding
the gootl wages ottered, it is very difficult
to obtain men. There certainly can be
no excuse lor idleness when work can be
so easily obtained on the O. P. construe
tion.
rrom the way tle work is Wing
pushed, it will not be surprising if the
road is completed to Boise City within a
vear.
Ass.ult axd Battery. Yesterday
morning W. L. Yates and Alf Pettyjohn,
living on adjoining farms several miles
southeast of Salem, got into an altercation
concerning whose grain should be thresh

That ' Bbctal . Assault." Tbe Or
egonian of Tuesday contained an article,
forwarded evidently by some malicious
perverter of tbe truth, which reflected,
from all information this paper is able to
glean, unjustly on George Herren, for
merly of this city, but at present a mer
chant of Butteville. The Oregonian's
article states that -Mr. Herren brutally,
and without provocation, or at most with
but slight cause, assaulted a boy, hitting
him with the big end of a whip, knock
ing tbe boy senseless, and cutting such a
gash in the boy's head as to require the
attention of a physician, from a gen
tleman, who had the story from the resi
dents of Butteville, it is learned that the
boy, who is aged about 18 years and who
is related to some persons who are at en
mity with Mr. Herren, and a natural
hoodlum, began throwing rocks at Mr.
Herren, while that gentleman was seated
in his boggy. Mr. Herren expostulated
with the boy against such treatment, and
told him to quit, at which the young
hoodlum replied, "I won't quit, you d a
, and you can't make me quit";
and, throwing another rock, struck Mr.
Herren in the breast. Considering that
forbearance had ceased to be a virtue.
Mr. Herren jumped from his buggy, snd
ran after the bov, striking him, when
within reach, with tbe cracker of the
whip, raising a welt on his face, but not
doing him enough damage to require the
attention of a physician, letting alone
felling him senseless to the ground. This
statement is made in justice to Mr. Her
ren, who is very highly respected here,
and wherever known.
Str:cki.eb's Matinee.-At Stickler's
theatre yesterday, the faca of an old
star, and a favorite in police court circles
of the Pacific coast, appeared in its
47tb annual exhibition in that popular
place of amusement, known as the court
of the recorder of Salem, in the usual
role, of drunk and disorderly. No one
ever saw Hxlett, the pilgrim printer.
strike a town without knowing that he
intended to appear at the next opening
of the theatre where the city marshal
acts as door keeper and the city recorder
as stage manager, in that standard play
in which he has made such a reputation,
'Drunk and Dressed Up; or Four Days
on the Streets at Hard Labor." "Haz,",
as his best friends know him, never uses
any gaudy wall pa per, with tbe auto
graph of some big St. Louis or Chicago
brm, hth., on it, nor does he have an
advance agent to see that the press gives
him complimentary notices in advance;
vet he gets there all the same. He
issues no free passes to his entertain
ments, but the public usually gets in
free, while the village printers usually
have to pay from 5 to 10 cents apiece to
get "Haz" in the proper "condish" for
the play to go on. He was supported by
a stranger in this city theatre named
Myers, who however took the same
role as Hazlett with tbe same success.
In Fkame. Rev. Father De Lorme,
vicar-general of Oregon, and formerly
stationed at St. Paul in this county, who
is now sojourning in France, will probably
remain there the rest of his life. He
has written to the archbishop asking to
be released from the duties of vicar
general, and of his parish at St. Paul,
and that he be permitted to pass his re
maining days in his native land. Arch
bishop Groes answered that he would
leave it all to Father De Lorme, and now
the latter writes that he thinks that by
giving forty years of his life to missionary
work here, he has earned some, rest.
He has been granted jurisdiction over
the entire diocese of Lyon, France. He
teports his health as much improved,
and that be is entirely recovered from
the insomnia that troubled him when he
left Oregon. The vicar's many friends
and they include a large number of pro
testants, will deeply regret that they will
never be allowed to welcome him back to
Oregon.
Coknek Stone. The corner stone of
the State agricultural college will le laid
under the auspices of the grand lodge of
Masons of Oregon on Wednesday next
August 17. -The ceremonies will begin a
2:30 p.m. The usual special rates will
be given for the occasion by the O. & C.
and the O. P. railroads. The Oregon
Pacific train, connecting with the O. A
C. trains north and south at Albany, will
reach Corvallis at 2 o'clock p. m. A
special train will leave Corvallis at (i :30
p. m. August 17 fcr Albany. Preiwra
tions have been made by the people of
Kenton county tor the entertainment of a
large number of visitors. All necessary
arrangements have teen perfected to
make the corner stone ceremonies a suc
cess. Betckned. A :ew weeks ago, the
remnants of an "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
troupe visited this city, and two of Sa
lem's young gentlemen of the ebony
complexion concluded to cast their lots
with these wanderers. A few days ago,
George Drake, one of the boys eoncluding
that Salem was good enough for him, re
turned to his old haunts, with less filthy
lucre, but more wisdom than he took
away, and on Thursday his brother.
"Jim" Drake, the other of the "I wish I
were a minstrel" boys, showed up in this
city. The boys, now think Salem a pretty
good "village," and they, will probably
continue to "haunt" it in the future.
As Oi.n Timer. The following from
the Seattle Post-lntelligencer, will inter
est a great many of this paper's pioneer
readers, as Mr. Schnebly was well known

in circumference three and a half feet
from tbe ground, the body is smooth,
with no knots or blemishes. The tree
beeaa bearing fruit when quite young
and has never missed bearing a crop of

A Visit to tab Institution Improve
menu Economical Expenditure i
of Public Fund.
Yesterday morning a Stateha5 scribe,
among his other rounds in quest of "mat
ters of interest,' paid a visit to a public
institution that deserves far more atten
tion than is accorded it, by either the
pres or by private individuals of the
state.
At the last session of the legislative as
sembly, tbe sum of $1000 was appropri
ated for improvement and repairs at the
school for deaf mutes. By telling what
is to be seen there, the public can better
judge how this $1000 of "the people's
money" has been expended, and surely
will bear the writer out in the statement
that never in the history of governments
and government appropriations, was a
fund more economically handled, and
made to go so far.
The first place visited as the new "in
dustrial building." a structure twenty
eight by forty feet square, with full base
ment, twelve foot story, and attic. This
basement is to be finished up, and will
be used as a boys' workshop, and bath
room. The main fleor will have the at
tendant's room, in one part, and a room
28x23 will be set aside temporarily for
use as a chapel, and exhibition hall, ri
nally, however, when the arrangements
are all completed, this will be used as a
printing office. The attic, which is very
commodious, will be well finished, and
be used as a dormitory for the larger male
students. On this building, the superin
tendent of the institution, Kev. P. S.
Knight, informed the reporter that the
"enormous sum" of $80 had been ex
pended for carpenter hire, outside of two
mute boys and Mr. tirower, lumsell a
mute and attendant, regularly employed
there. In the main, or educational
building, the floors of the school rooms
have been well oiled, and an addition
12x14 added in tbe rear, for use as a scul
lery, or dishwashing ball.
The girls' dormitory has been raised,
and a full basement built under it.
Under that jortion of the building for
merly used as a laundry and bath room,
the basement is enclosed only on three
sides, and will be used for a woodshed.
The basement under the main part of the
building is finished with a cement floor,
and in one part of it will be placed the
laundry and baths, while the other part
will be fitted up as the girls' work shop,
and "rainy day" room in which to pass
idle hours. The rooms formerly ued
for laundry purpose, will be refitted and
made into sleeping apartments. All the
walls in the building have been newly
kalsomined, and the building generally
repaired. The improvements are very
marked, and are greatly to the credit of
the institution. However, no other
man than Supt. Knight could have done
it all with so little cash. He filed his
report of the expenditure with the secre
tary of state yesterday. 1 he school will
open some time about the first of Septem
ber. Ketcrxed. Last night the rockiest
looking crowd appeared on the streets of
Salem that one often meets; and a stran
ger would have, immediately on getting
his eye on one of them.- gone straight
home and held his hand on his pocket
book all the way. They were red-shirt-ed,
pistoled, bowie-knifed, and every
thing else to the roots of their molars.
However, after pushing the dirt and
whiskers one side, one very familiar with
them would have recognized them, with
difficulty, as Ed N. Edes, John Dinsmore,
Itouglas Minto, and Deputy Sheriff
Thede J. Potter, just returned from a
hunting trip to the vicinity of Mt. Jeffer
son. They visited Sulphur springs,
Jefferson and Marion lakes and all points
of interest there, and nirt of the party
ascended Mt. Jefferson. They met with
a mishap, by losing a horse oh a
grade, which carried, in addition to a
sack of flour, a lot of red calcium, with
which they intended to illuminate Mt.
Jefferson, and this caused them to
return sooner than they intended.
Their horse fell off into and was drowned
in the Breiten Bucher river. They killed
seven deer and caught any quantity
of fish. They ran on to Judge
Waldo and party, who were camjed
in the snow in Bingham's basin, and
spent two days with them. Waldo's
party had also lost a horse in altotit the
same manner as this party. I hey re
port lots of snow, and that they had to
hunt for deer along the tops of the
mountains, along the rocks, where the
snow was blown away. They passed the
Oregon Pacific s surveyors at Breiten
Bucher river, and two pack trains of the
surveyors had gone across the summit,
where the rest will follow soon.
The gralers are at work on the Linn
county side, but have not gotten over
into Marion county yet. The boys all
look well, and rejiort having had a bang
up good time.
A Cjiin'esk Case. A Celestial gentle
man named Lee Yute was yesterday ar
rested by IJnn Smith, nonstable, upon a
complaint sworn out by another citizen
of the flowery kingdom named 1 1 in Foo,
upon a charge of stealing $10.35 from the
said 1 1 in Foo. The warrant was issued
by J. M. Payne, J. P. Hin Foo claims
that he is a contractor living at Portland,
and that he was paying off one of his
men, and having put the money down
on a table, Lee Yute grabbed it anil ran
away. This was claimed to have taken
place in a house on the south side of
Mate street, between la lierty and High.
Je i ute was up not long since uion tbe
same charge, in which it was claimed
that he used a knife to frighten the Chi
namen while he committed tbe robbery
He was dismissed upon that charge, hew-
nowever. After considerable wrangling
among the attorneys, the case wast post
poned until 9 o'clock this morn
ing, and defendant was admitted
to bonds in the sum of t0, furnished
by a couple of Chineee wasbhonsemen.
Geo. W. Belt, prosecuting attorney,
assisted by P. H. rrArcv, appears for Ute
state, and 8. F. Chadwkk, W. M. Kaiser,
and New, Hayden are defending Lee
Yute. It is likely Hin Foo is a black
mailer, and that the prosecution is ma
licious, but some think that Lee Yute in
a "bad man" among the Chinese, and
terrorizes them and takes their money.
It is hard to teU the motives and dim-
sitioos of these heathen exotics of pa
ganism.

BACKED OFF A BfilDGE.
A Very Serious Accident That Bap.
pened Sear tbe Depot Yes
terday. Yesterday, at about 11 :15 o'clock a.
the vicinity of Ftate and Comaercitl
streets was thrown into a slight florrj
of excitement by the rapid driving of aa
express wagon, with a boy therein calling
loudly for a physician. It. II. Price, the
cabman, hearing the boy's shouts, asked
what was the matter, and fwas informed
that their had been a bad accident in the
vicinity of tbe depot, and that a physi
cian was wanted at once. Mr. Price
said : "I'll get a doctor," and driving to
Good's drug store, picked up Dr. J. X.
Smith, who was standing there, and
drove at the tcp of his horse's speed to
the bridge acroM Mill creek, just north
of the depot, where an apalling sight met
his gaze.
Lying on the gravel, just below the
bridge was a farm wagon, two horses
and four persons. Inquiry revealed the
following facts in regard to the case:
The parties were Mrs. 1. Etter, wife of
the person who recently purchased the
Belding farm, about two miles north of
of Turner, her mother, Mrs. Camp
bell, and her sister and husband, Mr.
and Mrs. A. J. Pyburn, the latter two but
recently arrived from Nebraska. Leav
ing their home in the morning in the
farm wagon, Mrs. Etter driving and her
mother sitting on the front seat with her,
and Mr. and Mrs. Pyburn in tbe rear
seat, all went smoothly until as they
were driving onto the bridge this side of
the depot on 12th street, that crosses
Mill creek, the yard locomotive was
heard, and some person called to them to
"stop!" This they did, and the locomo
tive stopped and started back toward the
depot. The hissing of escaping steam
and the puffing frightened one of the
horses, which began to back, and which
in time scared the other, and that was
about all the parties remembered, except
a general jumble of breaking railing, fall
ing wagon and team , followed by a suc
cession of pains on the part of each.
The team, in its mad fright, backed
againEt the railing of the bridge, which,
being a frail affair, of course gave no re
eistence to the backing wagon, but gave
way, letting the wagon and team fall to
the ground beneath the bridge, a distance
of twelve feet or more. The wagon fell
on Mrs. Pyburn, while Mrs. Campbell,"
who is of very large stature, and rather
lortIy, received the weight of one of the
horses across her hips. Mr. Tyburn wa
apparently thrown several feet, and
struck on his back, while Mrs. Etter es
caped most luckily by falling clear o(
wagon and horses.
Mrs. Etter at once made an effort to ex
tricate her mother from under the horse,
but failed, ami at last the assistance of a
number of men who hastened to the scene
was required. Assistance which began
to arrive then managed to get the injured
persons out of their serious difficulties,
and they were carried to Mr. Price's and
Mr. Basey's cabs and driven to the Mon
roe house, not however, nntil Mrs Py
burn was found to be suffering from a
congestive chill, or fainting spell. Ar
rived at the Monroe house, Irs. Carpen
ter and Rowland were called to assist Ir.
Smith, and all that was possible to be
done for them was at once done.
The injured jtersons were all examined,
and the injuries of Mr. Pyburn, which
were probably worst, were found to con
sist of a very badly strained and bruised
back and spine; Mrs. Campbell badly
hurt about the hips, and perhaps inter
nally ; Mrs. Pyburn badly shaken np and
bruised, and Mrs. Etter, bruised arms
and a sprained ankle. No bones were
broken, but how the entire party man
aged to escae almost instant death, is
one of the wonders not to be easily ac
counted for.
The honea w ere badly bruised, but not
seriously hurt. The wagon only suffered
slight damage.
The ladies, after lieing given good
medical attention, and made as easy as
(Nissilile, concluded to go home, so R. II.
Price's cab w as fitted up with pillows,
and the ladies made as comfortable as
possible, and were driven there. Mr.
Pyburn was resting easier, but is very
sore and perhaps injured worse than at
first 8upjosed. It was found impossible
to move him, so he still remains a guest
at the Monroe house.
later. .
Mr. Price returned at 10:40 p. m. last
night, and reported the condition of the
women as very bad. They were all
vomiting, sick at their stomachs, and it
was thought their condition was really
dangerous, and Mrs. Campbell will
probably die. At this hour Mr. Pyburn
is also reorted worse.
Mr. Price was accompanied by Dode
Savage, and they learned that Mr. '
Pyburn and family were in very poor
financial condition, and Mr. Savage is
raising a purse for their benefit, and is
meeting with good success. They are
very deserving of sympathy and aid.
Absolutely Puro.
