A devastating cyclone Laid -waste parts of Missouri, Nebraska and Kan sas on the 30th. Many people were killed aud wounded and hundreds of houses destroyed. Great damage was done to crops. Nig, Mr. Mallory's fine New foundland purp, passed in his checks Saturday night and is now numbered with the dead dogs. Too free use of fresh salmon is what is supposed to have caused this disaster. Councilman Peter Runey was around to see us in our sanctum j'es terday. We were quite glad to see him. He has taken rooms at the Occident for the future, so when any of the boys want to go and see Peter fchey will know where to find him. The boddy of the man referred to in another article to-day was un doubtedly that of the watchman of the Republic, Rodgers. Capt. Gray thinks that the body recently burned on the weather beach which was thought to be that of Henry Lack, was the body of the second officer tf the Republic R. Davis. -&- Justice Tnrlay bound a beast over for trial yesterday. The fellow goes by the name of Sprague, and has been performing at some of the variety shows in the city.

Mrs. McCarty was up again yes terday for about the 17th time for ilrunkeness.

They will put men n guard for those who sell or give 3ier liquors, and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Two disgraceful fights occurred in Astoria on Sunday. One in the notorious Fisherman's Retreat, a place that should be declared a public nuisance, on Main street, and the other on Concomly street, in front of a saloon near Beuton street, kept by a woman. As the fishery season ad vances such scenes become more fre quent, aud the Police-court overruns iritii business. Out f the Jrxvs of Death. Last Friday night Badollet & Co.'s No. 1 came ud missimr. and no trace of the men nor boat could be , found until 3'esterday morning, when the net-tender, Mr. E. D. Marvin, and his boat-puller Lewis Larsen, ar rived at the cannery. They had a very thrilling adventure. Mr. Marvin says he began taking up his net, as it didn't run to suit him in Bakers bay, and was wholly thrown off his guard by the rapidity of the current. In the net he found several large stur geon and snags which interfered with the taking of it in, and the boat was swamped in the breakers. An acci dent happened that stopped his watch, which makes the hour at two minutes past 11 o'clock. They lost the oars, sail, anchor etc.. but managed to hold on to the net, which Mr. Marvin be lieves was the sole measure of saving themselves. The net acted as ballast, and at the same time was so buoyant that it enabled them to keep themselves above water. After pas sing through the breakers tiiey pick ed up a piece of scantling, and by hard work g'it the boat bailed out, then improvised a sail, and started in, from a point about fifteen miles off shore, abreast of Shol water ba3T. They came through the surf opposite the. Sea-view house, and Messrs. Stout and Reed, and the family rendered them .assistance, and the boat was hauled across to Ilwaco on Sunday. Mr. Marvin was warmly welcomed at the cannery. He says he h:is ran some desperate chances on the Frazer, tipper Columbia and Colorado rivers, but this is the closest call of any. He had to cut the web out of his net finally to get a line before landing in the surf, and lost all of it in landing, but saved the boat. His steering oar was made of a piece of the flooring of the boat. He speaks 111 terms of highest praise of Sir. and Mrs. Stout, their daughter and Mr. lleed for kindness and attention. Another Body Found. Another body was found on beach north of the luiht-house the on Saturday last, supposed to be from the wreck of the Great Republic. The body was found by Sergeant Lickis and a private, and was in an advanced stage of decomposition. On his per son was found two handkerchiefs, marked John T. Roberts, a key tagged bakers shop, a bunch of beads and a cross, a button hook, some fine cut to bacco, a was doll, pair of white knit stockings, a razor, pen-knife, razor strop, small hair brush aud one dol lar in coin. He had on a fisherman's shirt, dark brown pantaloons, canton flannel drawers, black silk handkerchief around his neck, barefooted. He was five feet eight inches in stature; light hair and mustache, about one hun dred and fifty pounds weight The riht side of his skull appeared to be crushed, and just over the heart a hole indicating violence. A blue felt hat lay by his side, and on a limb near the body a life preserver w:is hang ing, marked G. R. Foot prints on the sand around the body lead Sergeant Lickis to believe that the body had been found by others, but does not think it had been disturbed. Major Spurgeon gave directions to have the coroner notified. Another Body Found. The body of an unknown person was found on the weather beach, Pa cific comity, W. T., near V. D. Ty-lor's-residence May 27th, apparent a drowned fisherman, probable age 25 or 30. full six feet tall, stout built, full face, smooth shaved, except a thin brown mustache, dark thick hair, strong front teeth, no marks of vio lence on the body except a flesh wound in front of rfcht ear, new liijht oil coat on, new gum boots, blue blouse, j three shirts, dark pants, nothing found on the body except a pocket knife, waterproof match box and a light silk handkerchief, left side pants pocket torn off; probably been drowned three or four weeks. The remains after an examination were placed in a box, and decently buried above high water mark, under direction of An dew Olsen, justice of the paaci. The Blue-ribbon club was ad dressed by Hon. W. D. Hare, and others, at the meeting on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Hare took, what to us has been for a long time considered the best course, to get at the root of the evils of intemperance. Abolish all attempts to make it appear like a respectable business; repeal the license laws, and make war upon spirituous liquors alone; reducing the tixes upon malt liquors so as to place it upon the markets so cheap that the man who earns but 1 50 a week could drink to his hearts content and still have some thing left of his income for the sup port of those dependant upon him. Mr. Hare believes that no man should lm n.rrwRt'.p.d fnv iisinr vi'hrif". nfirnnra- tions. communities and irovernments legalize the sale of. He believes it to be a crime to drink, but every citizen of a state or municipality which grants the license to sell it, is equally guilty of crime with the man who drinks it. We hear Mr. Hare's address very fa vorably commented upon by those who heard it. GRACE CHURCH.

Peter Wilhelni, at the Gem reading room, is 111 receipt of dispatches an nouncing that: The Melanchton sailed from San Francisco for this port Sunday. The Oregon sailed for Astoria and Portland from San Francisco on Sun da v. The State of California and bark Rival arrived at San Francisco on Sun day. The barkentine Jane A. Falkin burg arrived from Honolulu on the 1st, and proceeded up the river yes terday. Capt. Hubbard has placed us under obligation for files of the Adver tiser, from which we learn that times areverv dull at. tin s binds. The Falkinburg was becalmed on the pass- age eight or nine days. Mr. Mark A. King returned to Oregon by her, looking very much as if the trip had done him good. Mr. Marshall also returned, considerably improved in health. - . The schooner Alpha, Capt. Starr, arrived on Sunday, from Gravs har bor, laden for Portland. The Alnha has made the round trip in about fif teen days, and Capt. Starr expresses himself very well satisfied with the venture. He says he found the har bor much better than he expected to find it, and feels confident that a lively traffic can be awakened in that direction by a little effort. He thinks that Com. Merriman should be ap plied to for buoys for that place, which are much needed. The Asto rian has often referred to the re sources and country tributary to Grays harbor. Capt. Starr endorses our conclusions, and agrees that with proper effort that country would soon become an important factor in the commerce of the Columbia river.
