That little railroad talk at the Court-house Saturday night stirred the people up in Astoria. We be lieve every man in the city will now take hold earnestly, and assist the movement. If we only awaken to a realizing sense of the situa tion, now is the time to grasp the opportunity to make Astoria what it -should be. There is to be an other meeting at the Court-house next Saturday evening. Don't you forget it. The Greatest Man Livlm Kings, Princes, and Potentates dwindle into pigmys by the side of the greatest man of the present acre Gen. U. S. Grant. To think that that little insignificant colony of 1776 could produce such a states man inside of a hundred years is somewhat miraculous. "What re teptious! what royal honors! have been bestowed upon him! Think of it, reader; all around the world he has been met by the noblest and the least. Even in Canton on the 6th of last month, 100,000 people witnessed the display and the pro cession in honor of the once hum ble Oregonian. Preparations are being made lor a reception on a grand scale at Yokohama. The ironclad steamship Fooso, the finest in the Japanese navy, has been dispatched to Nagasaki to await his arrival. Some few profess to object to these dem onstrations upon political grounds; but it is a relief to know that the right-thinking portions of America rejoice to see these honors, feeling that they are justly bestowed upon a man fully deserving of them all. Death of James I). Fay, "Was It Suicide or Homicide T The startling news reached this city Saturday evening, says the Ore gonian of yesterday, that Mr. James D. Fay, a gentleman whose name has been so prominently identified with the politics of Oregon for the past ten years, had committed suicide at Em pire city, in Coos county, on Friday. Many were inclined to doubt the truth of this report, until a dispatch was received here, which confirmed the sad intelligence. A coroner's jury inquired into the matter and returned a verdict of suicide. The facts devel oped by the testimony given before the jury were that Mr. Fay went to the Star saloon, and was sitting by the stove, reading a newspaper when E. V. Sprague and A. W. Sprague, his brother, keepers of the saloon, went out and left him sitting there. They shortly afterwards heard the re port of a xistol and ran back to the saloon, where they found Mr. Fay still seated in the chair, with head bent forward, with the blood flowing freely from his head and his pistol lying on his lap. James D. FaT is well known to the people of thisstate, he having in years past figured prominently in politics. He has resided m various portions of the state during the past twenty years. Mr. Fay was reared by Mr. JefTers of tliis county, now deceased, formerly of Portland. From the following dispatch to the Oregonian from San Francisco, it would seem that Fay's friends there doubt the truth of the report that he coinmited suicide, and are inclined to credit a theory that he was murdered: .Sax Fkancisco, May 31. Regarding the recent supposed suicide of James I). Pu at hmpiiv citv, 0i., the friends of deceased in f his city are loih to believe that he dii'd by his own hand. They state that Mr. Fay has made some hitter enemies in Oregon by his participation in ceriai.i litigation, and that some few -u-arsaohe was waylaid and nearly i-lMiil in- Uvo brothers named Jsh. one of whom lie shot and dangerously wound- d. Since then threats have repeatedly heen made against his life. A telegram has been sent requesting that the pistol be retained as evidence. The surround ings are so peculiar that it is proposed to institute a thorough examination. Advices have been received sta ting that numerous fresh fissures have opened on Mount JEtna. The flood of lava is now very extensive and streaming towards the river Alcun tara, devastating the village of Abio. A long continuance of the eruption is probable. The entire business, steamers docks, etc., of the Oregon Steam Navigation company will be turned over to the new purchasers July 1st. The sale has been made, and is a bona fide one. This will make a through line, under one manage ment, from China to New York, via San Francisco, Astoria, and Ocrden. Court .ProcecdinffH. POLICE COUItT II. 11. PARKER J. Astoria, June 2. 1879.
