The railroad meeting was a big
thing for Astoria Saturday evening.
A few such meetings will more assure

invest, whether they wish to or not.

What was supposed to be a vessel
coining in on Sunday was the barken
tine North Bend, becalmed. She
crossed the bar at 12 o'clock, and as
there was no wind came to anchor,
and at 5 o'clock she signaled the Bren
ham which went out and gave her an
offing. She was still becalmed at
5 o'clock yesterday morning, but about
half past five a light breeze from the
north-west carried her to sea.
Frishtfirt Calamity.
About three o'clock last Saturday
afternoon the lifeless bodies of Mr.
John Burke, and his daughter Emma,
aged about seventeen years, were
found by Mr. Abbott, on Clatsop,
under the most shocking and painful
circumstances. Mr. Abbott was
driving along the road in the vicinity
of Mr. Burke's house when he came
to a fallen tree, and stopped his team,
to see some way of getting along, when
he found the bodies. The inference
is that Mr. Burke was chopping a tree,
and that his daughter was sitting near
by watching the act. When the tree
fell it hit a" dry stub which also fell
upon Miss Burke, when Mr. Burke
ran to her assistance and was himself
struck by a falling limb. Death in
both cases must have been in
stantaneous. The bodies were picked
up, assistance summoned, and a mes
senger dispatched to Astoria, who ar
rived here Saturday evening, and had
two coffins prepared and sent to the
scene of the causality. On Sunday
the bodies were broughc to the city,
by the steamer General Canby, and
the funeral service took place at the
Catholic church. The bodies were
buried in the city cemetery. Mr.
Burke was reported killed a few
months ago when he went east for his
daughter, but they both arrived safely
a few months ago. and had made a
home on the Clatsop place, where he
set high hopes upon living his allotted
time in peace with his daughter.
We expect to publish a sketch of the
life of Mr. Burke in a few days, from
the pen of one of his most intimate
friends, a companion of his early
yoars.
