ASTOEIA. OREGON:
D. C. IREIAXI EUtor.
TUESDAY JrNE 3, 1879.
The Railroad Wu-Wa.
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.
