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.

Commercial Notes.
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.

Sheffield blade
