THE AMERICAN VENICE." rnder the above title the San Francisco Chronicle of the 14th inst devotes considerable space to a description of this place and the growing industries that center here The article is well written ami conveys a fair impression of the place Front the letter, which is edsaimon beats: "Ain't them gon-' come, and one better defined, a long one, we take the ' following j dola enough, stranger? Ves, where he had hurried away. This extract: surely this American Venice is : was the fourth attempt on the life of ;lt was toward the close of a supplied with gondolas, and is a , Vrs. Petch. Cireat excitement pro-briL-ht sunnv dav last week that 1 Ivnmee in (act. fOur traveler ls and threats of lynching are first caught sight of the Columbia salmon fishing. Steaming land ward across the much dreaded t'o i lumbia river bar, outside which the Moanior had wailed many hours for the tide to rise, the full beauty! of the scene burst upon us sud denly. The river near its mouth i wider than San Francisco Bay between the Potrero and Alameda lTpon the left as we entered, the Washington Territory shore loom ed up, dark, gloomy and forbid ding, its steep rugged mountains densely covered with spruce, fir and pine forests rise precipitately' from the verge of the foaming river, and iTssIng tier upon tier for miles back from the shore, seem lo.it amid the clouds of the misty distance. To the right, the Ore gon shore, miles away, not so high, but equally as precipitous and rugged as the northern bank of the river, presents a more cheerful and inviting scene. A prominent headland or cape, capped with a forest of fir, through which a de vastating fire swept yours ago, leaving dead and naked tree trunks, which now shone white in the evening sun, resembling in the distance the tall clean masts and spars of a thousand vessels sunk beneath a sea of ferns and brush' foliage. Jjcncath this picturesque headland, apparently growing out of and resting upon the surface of the bright blue rolling water, may be-seen the oddest and queerest oi all American cities. Upon the wide expanse of water between shore and shore scattered about here and there, skipping and flying over the rolling waves, like a scattering flock of monstrous sea birds, was the salmon licet, just starting out for a night's work upon the stormy waves. All alike, of one size, each with its crew of two men, the tiim little era It, with the grand scenic back ground and surroundings, form a picture such as none but an artist could properly delineate. A half hour's rapid journey through the salmon fleet, and we found our selves landed in Astoria. Landed 1 say, but that is a misnomer, for although 1 walked for hours through the business streets and among the canneries of Astoria, I trod upon no land. The ancient Astoria, as founded by John Jac ob Astor iii 1S11, was built upon terra iria,am old citizens point with pride to a few old log cabins perched upon the precipitous sides of a distant fir-clad blufT, as the place where Astor founded the first American white settle ment upon the Pacific coast. The more I explored Astoria the more. I admired it. It is a que cr place, to say the least, and the people are just like it. They are the busiest, and fishiest lot of white men I ever saw. Of course there must be some women in the place, for there are children to be seen, diving tumbling and bobbing about the swarms of salmon boats which dance up and down on the water beneath the city. All the stores, all the warehouses, hotels, workshops, canneries, churches, and even the printing office, are npon the water. The citizens of this amphibious city proudly de noninate their home the "Ameri- jcjm Venice."' and iL assuredly de-i serves the name, all tliat is lacKing being a few roiidola. When I suggested this requisite feature for an 'American Venice," a trio ofuroud Vstorians exclaimed al-' ui piuuu .Muii.uis lMMIU"" . most simultaneously, as they j poinudl. .he fleet of slu,r,ve,l. trn-l.t l.qi-n rtmitiiinrwl 1m -l;itf t ll!it I the proposition of Alderman Gil- hooly, of New York, in a similar emergency, viz: to import two gondola!, a male and a female, and let nature take its course, is now under discussion, together with other startlimr innovations En. Atoi:i...) "Yes, sir; we have the best city in the world,"5 said our enthusias tic Venetian guide, as he. piloted us up and down three of the principal business streets. "We require no sewerage, sir; each house lias a sewer as large as it desires. "e are not troubled with mud and require no street sweep ers. Xo stray cows or hogs in vade our gardens or yards for they are far beneath the waters of the. Columbia. As for shade trees look there; what's nicer than that!'5 ami the enthusiastic Venetian pointed to rows of fir trees stand ing in little fish kegs filled with water, and tied to standards nailed to the sidewalk. "And flowers? why the womenfolks keep whole bucketsful of them all the year round. Another advantage wo have in living over the water this way. our people don't dare to get drunk and roam about the streets, of a dark night. If they do, they are liable to walk off the street in to a water lot, or if they step off the sidewalk into the gutter, they go down to sleep among the play ful salmon. And as for lawsuits about corner lots, we don't have them."' A closer examination of the site of this city upon the wa ter discovered that whatever little available land there was belonjrmc to Astoria was devoted to grave yard and sawmill purposes, while here and there a land-loriug citi zen had scooped out room enough upon the side of the bluff to build a house on. It is sat range looking place, hut is not unattract ive b' any means. j. .1: '" Astoria is the great salmon headquarters for the world. All the scattered canneries along the the shores of the Columbia are gradually concentrating here. All the fish canned on the river are shipped from this port. Its busi ness is very good at present. It keeps up a bright and newsy daily aud weekly newspaper, Tin: As toriax (Here the writer grows very complimentary to ourself and then resumes his subject). The letter is a readable one throughout, and though matters are "stretched" a little, vet in the main, the account is :i correct one. The Fetch Murder. The coroner's inquest reveals the following facts 'in regard to the murder of Mrs. Petch: She was on the way home from North Yamhill, in company with her stepson, aged about thirty-four. "When near their home in the mountains the fatal shot was fired from the roadside. The shot look effect in the side of her head, breaking the neck and severing the jugglar vein. .Mrs. Petch fell out of the wagon aud the frin-ht- ened horses ran some distance be fore they could be stopped. Before, her son could get back to the body two more shots were fired, neither taking effect. A careiul search revealed that the murderer nau lonnea an amouscaap uenma :i log about twenty-five yards from the road, and had taken pains to break down intervening twigs and branches in order to set a clear; ; j shot.

John .Moran, steward of the steamship "Walla Walla, met his death about 11 o'clock last night by falling from the gang plank to the float below, at the foot of Ainsworth" dock. The fall was witnessed by William Schinner, quartermaster of the vessel, who was on watch at the time, lie says he saw two men come down the wharf and stop at the foot of the gang plank, where they con versed for some time in low tones. Finally one of them started away and the other came up the gang plank. Schirmer did not recog nize who it was until the side of the vessel was reached, when he saw it was Moran. He was about to speak when loran reeled lo one side, and before Schinner could reach him had fallen npon the float. The quartermaster called the first officer, and taking a lantern started to spring down upon the float. As he did so his foot slip ped and he also fell, but fortunate ly fell into the water, just touch ing the edge of the float, and es caping with a few bruises. Others came to his help by the time he had clambered upon the float, and the body was lifted upon the wharf. Meanwhile Dr. G. M. "Wells had been sent for, and also the coroner. Moran breathed only a few times after his fall. When Dr. Wells came, he found the man had .suffered a fracture of the skull over the left eye, killing him almost instantly. Coroner Cooke removed the body to his office and held an inquest, the jury render ing a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Moran has a family of a wife and three daugh ters in .San Francisco. He was about fiit years old. and has been steward of the Walla Walla since last .Inly. He is no relative of P. Moran, steward of one of the As toria boats. Oregoman, 20ti. 'Man alive,' exclaimed a Tync keel-man to a mate, "that bleth erin idiot, Dob Jackson, got me aafully rilled yesterday. He cam' aboard an' set to wark to caal me every blowed thing that was nasty till aa nearly burst.5 "What's the use o' mindin whaat that lyul saj'S."" responded the other; "thoo should just treat him wi5 silence.'5 j"?o aa did," promptly rejoined the insulted one; ,aa just up an felled him vV the boat lmikP A cablegram from Alexandria says that "the American admiral performed a graceful act yester day, lie steamed around tho British fleet and his men cheered each ship in succession.' The ad miral is indeed a brave man. Any one who will go right out on the water in an American man-of-war does not know what fear means. "'es," said the landlord at the beach, "I'll clear the piazza of those men without asking them to leave it,"' and he went out and gazed at the sea through an opcra- glass and remarked: "I do believe Miss Dashington is in trouble. I think her bathing dress has got away from her." Rush for the beach. Fabre's Ice cream Is the best.
