Heavy Suit.
Chalmers, Holmes and Ballautync
have brought suit against the Orego
uian Railway compairy, limited, for
4J,oC0. Tho plaintiffs allege that
they entered into a contract with the
railway company on the lltlt day of
May last to construct five stone piers
for a bridge in the Willamette river
near Ray's lauding, for which they
were to receive S10G,700; that they,
the plaintiffs, bought tools, imple
ments and material to carry on tho
work; that they entered into contract
with the Pacific Bridge company to
drive piles and form coffer-dams, for
which they agreed to pay 20,000;
that on the 23d of Maj after the
plaintiffs had commenced performance
of the contract, and after the'bridge
company had commenced work, the
railway company wrongfully and un
justly rescinded said contract and
ordered the plaintiffs to discontinue
win k absolutely. They therefore claim
damages in the amount stated: .20,000
for profit which would have accrued
to them if they had been allowed to
complete the contract; $4,720 for
employment of laboring men, which
was lost; S12,S40 for tools, imple
ments, provisions in other ords the
"plant," and $0,000 which they were
obliged to pay the Pacific Bridge com
pany for rescinding their contract.
The case will be tried in the L. S.
Circuit court.

The Garfield Monument
A Cleveland dispatch of late date
sa3s that the Garfield monument com
mittee fund has p.wsed the fol fel fol
eowing: To the Peoplc or the United
States:
The committee hereby requests all
national banks, private hanks, sav
ings banks, newspapers and post
masters to call attention to tho move
ment by posting notices and to re
ceive contributions and to send the
same to the second national bank of
Cleveland, which has been designated
as treasurer of the fund; also to send
names and postoifice address of con
tributors. These names will all be
recorded in books that they may be
preserved in the monument.
The fund in Astoria will be kept

tributed opportunity to do so. If you
haven't done so vet there is still time.
Considerable inquiry was made
yesterday in refeiencc to the workings
of that "Northwestern Marriage Co. ,"
of which our enterprising young friend
Hansen is agent. It's a big thing
when you come to understand it.
Suppose an unmarried lady or gentle
man takes out a -$10,000 jolicy in this
count', at say $fi0 premium, and mar
ries any time after six months or with
in twelve months from the date of the
policy, ho or she will be entitled to
receive one-fourth of the amount of
the policy, viz: $2,r00, which would
be quite a pretty sum with which to
commence housekeeping. If marriage
is postponed to the second year, the
party would receive one-half; post
poned to three years, three-fourths,
and if but we have no intention of
explaining the business. Go to Han
sen; he'll tell 3'on all about it and get
you a policy if you want one.
