A
EXCUBSIOX POSTPONED.
The Last Spike Will be Driven Dee.
13 th, and the Proposed Excur
sion Therefore Postponed.
. Mayor Ramsey last night received a
diepatch from Receiver Koehler, of the
Oregon & California, stating that the
proposed last spike driving had been
postponed until Tuesday, December 13th,
and that on that account the California
excursion will not arrive in Salem until
Wednesday evening sometime. Tbia
news will be welcome to the Salem cele
bration committee of arrangements,
which had been placed . in an awkward
dilemma by the intended arrival of the
excursion in Salem on Sunday, Dec. 11th.

ft reception of any kind would have been
almost wholly oat of tbe question. Bat
all embarrassment has not yet been re
moved, because it is not known at what
time the excursionist will arrive in Sa
lem. At present it looks aa if they wonld
not get here before 9 or 10 Wednesday
evening. If so, it will be a rather diffi
cult matter to arrange for any suitable
reception. But the committee will doubt
less make the best possible arrange
ments.
The last spike will be driven by Col.
C. F. Crocker at Ashland, at half past 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon, December
10th. Wires running north to Portland
and sooth to Sacramento and San Fran
cisco will be connected with a hammer,
so that when the blows are made on the
pike, which latter will also be connected
with the wires, in all towns along the
coast where the inhabitants raay desire
to make connecting arrangements, the
electric current can he transmitted so as
to ring bells and fire guns announcing the
completion of the great northern coast
railroad.
Tbe driving will consist of three blows
on the spike, st intervals of ten seconds,
each blow closing the telegraphic circuit.
As each blow is made and announced at
distant stations, tbe telegraph managers
will report the same. After the third tap
the word "done" will be transmitted from
Ashland, notifying all points that the
great work has at !at been completed.
Superintendent Vandenborgh, of the
Southern Pacific company's telegraph
lines, has sent out instructions to have all
weainer reports forwarded to him at Ann
land early in the day, so that he may be
able better to judge what arrangements it
will he necessary for him to make for suc
cessful telegraphic transmission of the
fact of the driving of the last spike.
THE CITY ELECTION.
The Fonr NewCouncilmen, Raymond,
Lafore, Skinner, and Hutton
Little Interest Shown.
Yesterday was another "wet" day.
Tbe four republican candidates, Ray
tnond, Lafore, Skinner and Hutton, were
elected.
No spscial interest was taken in the
election, except in tbe First ward, where
tbe contest between Raymond and Jef
fries waxed very warm. Cabs were en
gaged and brought out nearly the full
strength of the ward. Neither faction
was assured of success until the polls
closed, and tbe count showed that they
had good reason for considering the out
come uncertain.
The republicans had a walkover in the
other wards. As prophesied Sunday
morning, citizens tickets, backed by tbe
prohis, appeare 1 in the Third and rourth
wards, but they didn't stand the ghost of
a show. The result was as follows :
First Ward Raymond, 63; Jeffries,
57: scattering, 1.
Second Ward E. M. lafore. 135 : Leo
Willis, 65 ; scattering, 3.
Third Wsrd-W. W. Skinner, 62;

The Proposed Eonte from the Oregon
Paeifle to Salem Will Not
Be Constructed.
G.Q. Cannon, a prominent official of
the Oregon Pacific road, was in the city
yesterday, and stated to the members of
the committee appointed by the citizens'
meetingof September 2lt, 1887,totakein
charge the project of building a branch
line from the Oregon racine to oaiem,
that the proposed route could not be built.
The surveyors had examined three feasi
ble routes, and in making their estimates
for the construction of the branch, had
found that the cost by the cheapest,
(via Turner) would be $250,000. Con
struction bv wav of the other lines would
atrgregate about'$300,000. Whatever line
the surveyors rbose a bridge across the
south Santiam, involving a cost of $40.
000, would have to be constructed. This
outlay the O. P. directors have decided
that they cannot, for the present, at least,
make.
So Salem will have to do without the
O. P. However, excellent connection
ill be had with that route by means of
the line of steamboats, about to be run
under a new schedule. A boat will go
up the river to Albany, and one down to
Portland, every other day; so a steam
' boat will lie at Salem every night.

TROUBLE AYERTED.
Got. Pennoyer's and Dr.
Lane's Difficulty Settled.
KB. AND ME3.! IEWIS RESIGN.
Statement of the Disagreement
Rupture With Superintend
ent Clew.
It has been an open secret in Salem for
a week or more that a difference .had
arisen between Governor Pennoyer and
Dr. Lane, superintendent of the asylum,
regarding the retention in the tatter's ser
vice of W. J. Irwin, his steward, and Mrs.
Irwin, an attendant, and that the dis
agreement bad resulted in the demand
by tbe governor of tbe superintendent's
resignation. It was expected that tbe
matter would be settled definitely at the
regular asylum board meeting yesterday,
and it was, but in rather a surprising
way. Mr. and Mrs. Irwin resigned and
removed the bene of contention at which
the governor and tbe doctor have been
obstinately gnawing. j
Tbe trouble arose in this way : When
Dr. Lane was appointed superintendent
of the asylum Irwin tendered his resigna
tion to him as steward, stating that be
bad been offered a position in Washing
ton territory which he had decided to ac
cept. But Dr. Lane, knowing that Ir
win was a capable and almost indispen
sable employee, assured him that if be
would remain in bis service he would
not be disturbed during good behavior,
or as long as be controlled asylum
affairs. And Irwin and his wife stayed.
Since Mr. Irwin had been a faithful em
ployee ot Dr. Josephi. Dr. Lane's nnpar-
tisan and judicious action created a small-
sized furore amoogst those political mal
contents who had worked for Joeephi's
removal, and every manner of pressure
was brought to. bear first upon Lane and
then on Pennoyer to have Irwin dis
charged. Tbe governor probably for tbe
. i . i - : J f .
ivuun mu no cuoaiuerou party interests
would be better subserved by Irwin's
removal, requested Dr. Lane to dis
miss that ' functionary ; but the
doctor refused. The governor in
sisted, but the doctor was firm
Governor Pennoyer stated to Dr. Lane
(and to others) that he was perfectly satis
fied with his management of tbe asylum.
except in this one particular, and if he
ould remove I rain be would give biro
bis personal promise that he would
neither dictate the appointment of the
steward's successor ,nor in the future inter
fere in any way with the conduct of the
asylum. But Dr. Lane considered his
Cromise to Irwin inviolate, and stuck to
is position like the plucky and honorable
individual be is. Finally the dispute
resulted in a demand by the governor for
Lane a resignation. Dr. Lane was placed
in an embairassing predicament. If he
resigned, Irwin was sure to be dismissed
immediately ; and if he remained Pen
noyer was certain to influence the ma
jority of the asylum board, which major'
ity comprises air. lennoyer and Mr,
Webb, to attempt bis removal. While
he could legally have retained his posi
tion notwithstanding any peremptory
action of the board, if he so desired, he
would have been involved in an infinity
of trouble. But happily Irwin oils the
troubled waters by banding in his resign
nation. The steward's action was not
influenced in any way. either directly or
indirectly, by Dr. Lane, and was proba
hlv instigated through a desire to solve
the difficulty in the simplest manner pos
sible and remove all embarrassment from
his employer.
Dr. Lane's administration of affairs at
the asylum has been characterized ever
since his assumption of tbe office, by
great sagacity, sound judgment and
foretliooght. The general expenses of
tbe institution have been materially re
duced, ai has been the cost per capita of
providing- for the inmates. During sev
eral months he has actually saved from
$500 to 11300 per month to tbe state, in
comparison with former years. His
administration of affairs shews the good
judgment Pennoyer exercised in nam
ing him as the superintendent. Through
out this difficulty, he has conducted
himself with great firmness and manli
nesa He is the right man in the right
place, and Pennoyer ought to know it
It is stated that Governor Pennoyer
has had a difficulty with Superintendent
Clow, of the penitentiary, similar to that
with Dr. Lane. Governor rennoyer h
selected all. or nearly ail, of Clow's sub
ordinates, and when that gentleman
exercised his undoubted prerogative and
discharged several guards for sleeping on
their nost and allowing a prisoner to
escant. and raised a row. In this case
however, an amicable understanding
seems to hare been arrived at. Orovern
or Pennoyer has the right to remove the
superintendent of the penitentiary at
Dleasure. The aylum superintendent
is appointed by the state board, to serve
four years and the statute expressly
provides that he shall

FROM WEDNESDAY'S DAILY.
A Panrm. Accidett. Monday night.
an old gentleman, whose name could not
be learned, while oa his way from the
: 37-o'clock train, fell into the bridge on.
tbe main track just north of the depot.
and was with some difficulty rescued
from his dangerous position by Messrs.
Will and Geo. Gray, who happened to be
coming the same way. It was found that
while the injuries of the old gentleman
were not serious, they were painful, and
it will probably be some time before he
entirely recovers. This accident again
calls to mind tbe shameful neglect of the
railroad company in not providing ample
approaches to the' depot. For many
yean the people of Salem bare
borne the great inconvenience of wading
muddy streets and risking their necks
and limbs by crossing bridges to get at
the almost inaccessible depot of tbe first
station of importance along tbe O. & C.
ine. Tbe city council should be strong y
rged to take the matter in hand and
compel tbe company to provide suitable
conveniences for tbe public.
Thk WauTHKa. "This is the worst
weather," said the oldest inhabitant yes
terday, "that I have aeen for nigh onto
forty year." While the oldest inhabitant
i probably oa bis base, the tact re
mains that the past three days have been
altogether the nastiest Oregon has seen
for several winters. Business has been
almost suspended, and everybody that
can stavs at borne. The river began to
rise rapidly night before last, and all day
yesterdav continued to rise at the rat of
three inches per boor. Last night it was
nine feet above low water mark, and still
booming. Mr. Herren, the O. R. A N.
agent, ventured it as bis opinion that the
water would be twenty feet above low
water mark before it begins to recede.
Extreme high water, however, is not
feared, as there ia little snow in the
mountains and the sloughs and ground
are not filled with water.
Gex. Allu Dead. General Lucius
I. Allen, senior member of tbe well
known 'commission house of Allen &
Lewis, Portland and San Francisco, died
at San Rafael, Cal., Monday. Deceased
was i0 years of age. About two years
ago be received a paralytic stroke, and
since then he has been confined most of
the time to his Ross Valley home. Last
Tuesday night he was taken ill suddenly,
and grew rapidly worse. His family
were all summoned, and were at his
bedside at tbe time of his death, which
occurred at about 5 o'clock Monday p. m.
He leaves a widow, two sons, Henry F.
and John DeWitt Allen, and two daugh
ters, Mrs. John Kittle and Mrs. James
Coffin. Deceased was a member of the
military order of the Loyal Legion. The
Ume of the funeral service has not yet
been determined upon.
A Valuable Homestead. D. B. Han
nah has filed a homestead claim on
eighty acres of land adjoining the city
limits, near the Carson mill, at Tacoma.
It is tbe east K of tbe southeast M of sec
tion 7, township 20 north, range 3 east,
and is valaed at over $200 per acre. It
appears that this land had been filed
upon before the Northern Pacific railroad
grant took effect and was Jiever proved
up on, and so reverted back to tbe gov
ernment. It has remained vacant ever
since, as an examination of the land of
fice records shows. Tbe land was sup
posed to have been owned by George
Byrd, who was thought to have selected
it under the old Valentine script, but an
examination showed such was not tbe
case.
PaoBATE Matters. In the county
court yesterday, the sale of real estate
belonging to the estate of Thomas Coak
ley, deceased, to N. F. Cook, was con
firmed. The sale in question was 160
acres of land near Champoeg, for 13250,
made on th 25th ult D. J. Pendleton
was appointed administrator of tbe estate
of Wm. Whitney, deceased, and Robert
Whitney, James Whitney, and Jacob
Miller were appointed appraisers of said
estate, which consists of real and per
sonal property valued at $7000.
SWAMP LANDS.
The Reports of the Special Swamp
Land Aeent Being Prepared
Question to Be Settled.
Special State Agents Sweek and Rich
mond, and Government Agents Elliott
and Shackleford are now engaged in
Portland making up their reports of the
tracts of land recently examined by
them. They are hurrying as fast as
possible, snd it is expected that they will
have the reports ready to be dispatched
to the interior department by Decem
ber 15th. Several hundred thousand
acres of land have been examined bv the
agent, and a large part of them have
been found to be not swamp, and will be
so reported by the agents. As soon as
the reports are made out, tbey will be
handed into the interior department, and
patents granted to the state to those land
which are warn p. i lie remainder win
revert to the government and will be
subject to homestead or preemption by
eettlers. Thone persons who are actual
settlers upon lands in the districts ex
amined, whether they are swamp or not.
will no doubt be protected by tbe govern
ment and by the state. Some of these
settlers have had difficulty, how
ever, in retaining possession of
their property against the ma
nipulations of overzealovs govern
ment agents. One man in eaatern Or
egon reclaimed a piece of bog land about
fifteeri years ago, and recently his title
was contested in The Dalles land office.
He won his case there, nut now some
officious government agent has reported
recommending the forfeiture of his land
to the government as not swamp. While
the state wilt doubtless lose many thou
sand acres of land by the reports of these
agents, no complaint can be made, as
the difficulty regarding them hitherto ex
isting between the government and the
state will be settled, and the lands
thrown open to actual settlement. Gov,
rennoyer nas oeen acuve in urging ine
importance of the settlement of this
question upon the government, and it
was largely due to his efforts that the
commissioner of the land department
was induced to send out an agent to ex
amine into and endeavor to finally settle
the question. Tbe report of these aenta
will in all probability be the means of
final action on the lands.

FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY.
WHEAT A5D HOPS.
No change can yet be reported in the
wheat market. Foreign and domestic
eastern markets are reported weak, but
the San Francisco q Dotations remain tbe
same.' The price here is 5 cents net to
the farmer. Tbe prospects for better
ment of the markeLare encouraging, and
river competition will stimulate activity.
Most of the holders of wheat will doubt
leas not sell until after the holidays, by
which time improvement in the market
ia expected. Very little is now selling.
The bop market is hi much the same
condition as wheat. English markets are
weak and there is little demand for
American hope. It is estimated that one
third of the Marion county crop of 1887 is
yet in the hands of growers and Mr. Her
ren, the commission merchant, has no
doubt that it will have to be sold at a
lower figure than was realized on early
sales.
Dxubicx TaxxKSs. Tbe maniac
brought np from Portland Tuesday night
by Sheriff - Jordan and two deputies is a
tartar. It was necessary to shackle his
legs and pinion his arms, and strap him
to a board. Even then he had to be
watched closely. When be was deliv
ered to the asylum authorities be was
strapped in a bed and has remained
there ever since. He can be placated by
no advances of tbe officers. As bis
arms and legs are tied be nses his jaws
against any one who approaches him. It
was thought by tbe Portland authorities
that he was suffering from hydrophobia,
but Dr. Irvine is of the opinion that the
fellow has a very bad attack of delirium
tremens. He is one of the most violent
subjects ever brought to the asylum, and
his treatment will be a verv difficult mat
ter. The fellow's name is Perry.

bride, as a wedding gift, a fine $600 piane
one of the finest ever brought to Ore

through Messrs. Whale A Galliher.agents.
The Everett piano well deserves the pop
ularity it is getting, as it is undoubtedly
the best piano offered for sale on this

to search for a long time for a handsomer
or more appreciable wedding gift.
Ofkea Compart Comiko. Mr. Willis
yesterday received notice that tbe Pyke

the nights of January 19th and 20th.
This is the well known company of which
Jeannie ins ton is the prima donna. It
is not known what operas they will pre
sent in Salem, but one of them will be an
entirely new one. This news wilt be
gratifying to all the theater goers of Sa

excellent operas by this company.
Heavt Storm. The past two davs
have been the stormiest and most diss
greeable of the present winter. About
midnight Saturday the sky became sud
denly overcaxt, the winds began to blow.
and had hardly ceased at a late hour laM
night. But no one has any serious fanlt
to find with the weather, as this
condition of affairs is what farmers have
been praving for, and the river will be
raised so that navigation can be resumed
at once.
Blows Off. Some time yesterday
morning, a portion of the tin roof of the
agricultural works was blown off by the
high wind. It was noticed late Tuesday
night that the roof was in a precarious
condition, and the accident was as antict
pated. i A large bole was made in the
roof by the absence of the tin, and the
rains yesterday poured inside the build

be repaired soon.

CURABILITY OF COXSplPTIOX.
A Modern System of Treatment Em
bodying- tb Seetel Injection Meth
od, Combined with Local and
Cons tits tional Treatment.
BI DBS. DARKIX, 14 FOURTH ST,
FOKTLAXD, OR.
Consumption is the popular name for
"Phthisis Tuberculosis." or "Phthisis
PulmonalLs." It is characterized by a
general depressed condition, derange
ment of the lympathic and glandular
systems rabnonnal condition of the blood,
fever of the intermittent type, irritative
cough, night sweats, pain in the lungs,
hemorrhage, etc. It is justly regarded as
the scourge of the human family. Sta
tistics show that among tbe enlightened
nations of tbe earth the deaths from con
sumption are about ene-fourth of the
whole number of adults, and that of the
people inhabiting the globe 3,000,000 die
each year of this disease. And observa
tion further shows that no period of life
is exempt, and that the most talented and
useful members of every community are
among the first victims of this insidious,
universal, and usually 'intractable dis
ease.
Consumption msy be hereditary or ac
quired. That the tubercular phthisis
may be transmitted from parent to off
spring is a well established clinical fact.
This hereditary predisposition to con
sumption is usually manifested by a
great susceptibility to catarrh, throat and
bronchial affections. These ailments are
too often regarded with indifference, and
consequently neglected. Yet, unimport
ant as they seem, they constitute the
links in tbe great chain that leads to con
sumption. It is, however, often the re
sult of persistent violation of physiological
i i i
laws, or ioa tbxioub const uuuonai Dis
eases that vitiate or poison the blood, the
effects of which gradually impair the va
rious organs of the body and cause the
functions of digest on and assimilation to
be very imperfectly performed. After
this condition has been existing for some
time, the blood becomes impoverished,
and the various tissus and organs of the
bodv fail to receive their proper repara-
tory material.
These disturbances mav go on for an
indefinite period before the deposition of
tubercles in the lungs takes place. Dur
ing this period by watchful care to ward
off all exciting causes, and judicious treat
ment bv the rectal method of gasous in
jection, as practiced by Drs. Darrin, this
tendency to consumption may be cured
and health completely restored. How
ever, when the disease has advanced to
the deposition or tubercles, or to the soft
ening of the same, there is a great con
flict of opinion as to tbe curability ol
phthisis (consumption). It is now main
tained by the most distinguished medical
writers that tbe curability of consumption
is a well-established fact in medical
science. As a proof ot tbe above state
ment we give the following cards from
Miss Akers and others, well known in
this city and throughout the state :
We would urge npon all sufferers to
lose no time delays are dangerous but
go at once and see the doctor, and you

with which all others sink into insignifi
cance tne great ana inestimable boon ot
health.
QUICK CONSl'MmOH.
Editor Oregpnian : I wish to add my
testimonial to the thousands already pub
lished of the skill of Drs. Damn in tbe
cure of disease. I had been ailing over
two years, and my friends thought I was
going into consumption. I took a bad
cvld which hastened the development of
the disease, I took codltver oil and all
manner of disagreeable medicines, and
was examined by several physicians and
pronounced going into quick consump
tion ; against the advice of friends I took
treatment of Drs. Darrin, it was my !at
hope. I have been saved by their treat
ment. The Drs. Darrin are the only
physicians in the city who practice the
rectal injection mode of treating consump
tion. The treatment is not disagreeable
in the least. Any one interested in this
mode of cure can see me at Chas. Mc
Donald's, cor. Fourth and Multnomah
streets. East Portland, or refer to my
people in Junction City, Oregon, which
is my home. Miss Izosa Akess.

Editor Oregonian: I have been
treated by Drs. Darrin the past three
montln for consumption by the new rectal
injection mode of cure, and have been
greatly benefitted, in fact, nearly cured.
I am still under their treatmentwhich I
find rather pleasant than otherwise. Re

tbe cure of consumption and deafness.

10 to 5. Evening from 7 to 8. Sundays
10 to 12. Tbey treat all chronic and

DR. DARJtUf NO. 3 ARRIVED.
Dr. Darrin, brother of Drs. Darrin of
this city, arrived oa the last steamer and
has concluded to locate in Portland per
manently and join forces with tbe doc
tors here. His extensive experience will
add much to the usefulness of the doctors
in this city. Tbie will enable one of these
eminent physicians to be at the Revere
house in Albany on Dec. 12th, 13th and
Hth only, for the healing of the afflicted.
Their office in Portland will be running
as usual.
Read what the Chronicle says of Dr.
Darrin on his departure frwrn that city :
"DRS. DARKOr LEAVE SAW FSAKCISCO TO
OPEX AX OFTICI IX PORTLAND.
"Their peculiar magnetic powers will
no doubt be there, as here, a wondrous
gift of healing to many afflicted. Over
30,000 people have been under their
treatment during their four years' prac
tice here, and with most satisfactory re
sults. We commend them to our Port
land friends."
THE SWELLING WATERS.
The River 18 Feet Above Low Water
Mark Items Gleaned From the
River Drift.
During the past two days the river has
been rising with remarkable rapidity.
At noon yesterday the water was four
teen feet above low water mark, having
gained eight feet in the preceding twenty
four hours. The lower part of the 0. R.
St N. wharf was submerged at the same
hour, snd in the evening Agent Ed. Her
ren was driven from his office by the ad
vancing tide. He took all the transport
able articles with him, and lie now car
ries his office in his vest pocket. The
Orient, which came up from Portland
Tuesday evening, returned to that city
yesterday, ana win do tip again to-day.
As is probable that after to-day the locks
will be impassable she will remain here
nntil it is noetiible to return to the me
tropolis. The Bonansa will soon join the
Orient in the "handling of general freight
on the river.
The Santiam river on Tuesday was six
feet above low water mark, but in the
evening the water had gone down two
feet. The Santiam is a variable stream,
and will doubtless soon be at ber normal
condition. Pudding river has felt the
influence of the rains, and was one quar
ter of a mile wide at the bridge on the
Silverton road yesterday. The Silverton
stage had to come in by another route.
Mill creek has become a "raging tor
rent," but so far has not overflown her
banks to anv great extent. It is believed
that the Willamette will rise considerably
over 20 feet above low water mark a
greater altitude than any attained last
winter. Last night the 18-foot mark was
reached.
Tbe Salem Flouring Mills shut down
at two o'clock yesterday morning, and
will not be able to resume oiierations un
til the floods subside. The saw mill also
stopped ber machinery at noon yester
day to enable her force to get on board
the steamer Topsy and go op the slough
to secure a quantity of logs. The mill
will probably start up again this morning.
Billy Wright has about 125 cords of
wood on Brown's island, which he was
engsged yesterday in endeavoring to
save. He sail I yesterdav that he thought
he could onlv "boom" about fifty cords
of it, and keep it from floating away ; the
remainder will be lost.
The N. S. Ben ley yesterday started
from Grant's warehouse for Albany with
one-half of a 400-ton lot of wheat con
signed to San Francisco. She will trans
port the remainder to-day or to-morrow.
It is not known when her sister boats
will join the Rentley, but it is presumed
immediately.
John Minto, Sr., yesterdav morning
ferried over from Minto's island 125 head
of sheep, which by this time would prob
ably have been swimming tbout the is
land, or drowned.
A good opjiortunitv will Vie offered to
day for inspection f the bridge, and how
it withstands the huh water.
Some bwly said yesterdav that th's is
good weather for ducks, the small boy,
and drift galore.
