ASTORIA, OREGON: SATURDAY JULY 21, 183 Tho Columbia sailed for San Francisco 3csterday afternoon. Tho A. li. Field leaves for Tilla mook next Thursday, the Gr.n. Miles, next Saturday. The Shubrick arrived in yesterday evening. The Escort No. 2. crossed out to the north. The dry weather still continues, and all thoiiRhta of rain are re-ilving themselves into fast -fading memories of long ago. A few more reserved seats at the 2Tevr York Itovelty Store for Mon day night's entertainment of Sol Smith Russell. Eldridge, another of the escaped convicts, was caught in Portland la3t Thursday. Disbroiv, Clenu and Bradshaw are still at large. -'J. D. Higgins who left here about ttie 2Cth of June for the bene fit of his health, writes from eastern Oregon that he is much better and will start for home on the 24th. C. W. Fulton was busy moving into his new rooms yesterday. His big dog Major was full of business, carrying basketsful of books and superintending the proceedings. The Kate F. Troop began loading salmon for Liverpool yesterdaj', tak ing oil 1,000 cases from S. D. Adair & Co. The Hulbert was towed around to Flavors dock to finish for Now York. Yesterday's East Portland Ore emphasizes the necessity for tho ut most care on the part of our citizens concerning fire. The city is dry throughout, and a fire once started would threaten all with destruction. A merry party of excursionists, some forty in number took a trip on the Tom Morris to Young's Falls yes terday; the day was perfect, and ev erybody enjoyed thomselves, return ing home last evening. Eighty-five persons sat down t the complimentary dinner in Portland last Thursdaj', which was tendered John Muir previous to his leaving that city for St. Paul. It was an elaborate feed, costing ten dollars for each one there. The Wide West brought news yesterday that at half -past two in the morning a fire broke out in East Port land, and at the time she left her dock one entire block had been con sumed and tho fire was still raging. Lack of telegraphic facilities prevented the receipt of further news. Wo sin cerely hope that our experience of the 2d has not been repeated. It is estimated that 2,000 China men in British Columbia are trying to get across the lino, and that many more will be when the railroad con tracts are completed. Captain But ler, mate of the tug Jlolyokc, reports sighting a schooner a few days ago between Spoke, B. C, and Cape Flattery, with her decks covered with Chinese, supposed to be making for the American shore. To a News reporter Portland's chief of police sayeth: "I was nomi nated by a Republican mayor and voted for by Republican councilmen, and I also recognize the fact that municipal officers should be considered as such, and appointed or elected irrespective of any political feeling they may have. If tho Democrats think "Vfatkinds will manipulate the police in their interest, they mako a grand mistake. My aim will be to make an efficient chief." Two Shots From a Rifle. Clark Loughrey and C. were coming home from a P. Moffit stroll to- ward the Seaside Packing company's building last Thursday night, and when almost as far as tho Washington Packing company's buildings tho sharp whistle of a bullet was heard as it passed between tho two who were on opposite sides of tho road. Both turned around and saw a group of five or six men about 450 or 500 yards in the rear, one of whom stood with a leveled rifle, which flashed with a sec ond discharge as Loughrey and Mof fit turned to see where the first bul let had come from. They flung them selves aside and flat on the earth, none too J3oon, for a second bullet wiri-xad by burying itself m -tho earth &- few feet beyond whero Moffit stood. If the idea of the man firing the rifle was simply to scare the par ties, he certainly showed good judg ment in his aim. Nothing but tho sadden dodging of Moffit saved him from death.

Alfred Anderson Hanged in Port-land- srFiCiA,TO inr. Astokian.) POSTLA.XD, July 20, 18S3. Alfred Anderson was hanged in tho jail yard in this city at two o'clock this afternoon in the presence of a arge crowd of officials, press repre- Kentatives, etc., to whom had been rantod black bordered tickets of ad mission. Gen. Kapus of the state militia, had ordered out three compa nies, the Emmet guard, Washington guard and Governor's guard, who were all on hand end added to the iinpresivenei ; the sc-fie. A large throng of all ages including a KHnuK-rof women, Filled every inok where it was deemed possible to got a view if the doomed man. Sheriff Sears preserved the utmost order and throughout the whole time the greatest silence pre vailed among tho privileged number admitted to witnusa the last scene. At five minutes to one he was led out of the prison by the ofiicors specially detailed b' that purpose, accompanied by two clergymen one of whom walked on each side. Arriving at the scaf fold which he viewed with an appar ently unconcerned air, the death sentence was read to him, whereupon he began a haraugue of nearly an hour's duration. It consisted of an almost verbatim repetition of what ho said on the fourteenth of last month when resentenced. He again repealed that hedied an innocent man, though it was noticed that at no time during his speech, did he say that he did not kill his brother, nor did he once mention his brother's name during his remarks. He said that the jury which convicted him of murder were themselves guilty of murder but that he forgave them, and said he believed he would go to heaven. After his speech he knelt in prayer, llev. M. C. Lar3en praying with him in Scadina vian, and Rev. Dr. Marrin in English. He then bade good-bye to all, stepped to the place assigned him, and, picking tip the rope, examin ed the noose with the critic.il eye of a sailor, drawing it tli rough his hands several times and looking at each strand in the most cureful manner, finally directing the hangman as to the exact way m winch the noose should bo adjusted. The black cap was then drawn over his face, tho word given, the trap dropped, -and he swung lifeless in the air. After hang ing thirteen minutes the attendant physicians declared life extinct. The murder for which Anderson paid the extreme penalty of the law was committed on tho lUh of October, 18S2, on an island in the Willamette. Anderson induced his brother to go with him on a hunting excursion, and, according to the testimony adduced at the trial murdered the brother "and concealed the body. The crime seemed to grow out of jealousy con cerning the affections of a girl they had both known in Chicago.from which place they had come some months prior to the trouble, and after the murder had been committed, Ander son with the woman went to Seattle and from there to San Francisco where they were arrested. She proved that she had no complicity in the crime aim was released, lie was tried and found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged April loth. I lis coun sel obtained a stay of proceedings, but on a mandate from the supreme court, Judge Stoit again sentenced him on June 14th to be hanged on tkc 20th of July. When asked what he had to siy he made a long speech asserting his innocence, and declaring his life had been sworn away. Tho evidence upon which he was convicted was par tially circumstantial. Since the ver dict he manifested the most stoical indifference andto the last moment made constant denial of his guilt. No Eastern Messages Received. Parties who handed eastern tele grams to Mr. Hamilton yesterday wero informed that they could not be taken. Telegrams for California and eastern points cannot be sent on ac count of a general strike of telegraph operators throuchout the United States. Mr. Hamilton says that tele jrrams for nil points in Oregon and Washington Territory, and along tho line of the N. P. R. It., will be re ceived and transmitted with all pos sible expedition. There was only one operator at work in the Portland office yesterday, and the present" probability is that the company will have to come to terms. Young men or middln aged ones, suffering from nervous debility and kindred weaknesses should send three stamps for Part VII of World's Dispensary Dime Series of books.

Wo knew him the moment we raised our eyes i and saw him standing there. In fact, we had been expecting him; he nearly alwa3 comes when we are in such a strait and needing him. He always wears the same stylo of clothes coat of one kind and pants of another, he hasn't any vest, his shoes are worn nnd run down at the heels, and his hat is battered and dusty. There are spots of ink about his shirt which hangs over his waist band, and his new paper collar is the only froth, white thing about him, and it look-i as tiwujjh he had jmt put it on with soiled finger.-?. He n ple, weak eyed and jermatiirely gray-haired; he looks as though he had never known regular hours, either for sleep ing or eating, and he must have come thousands of miles, and been coming ever since he was a boy. His starting point was so far away aud so long ago, that almost forgotten when or where it was; but we have an idea that it must have been when his mother buttoned his little blue shirt band around his white, boyish throat, put on his little straw hat and sent him barefooted to ask for a place to work in the printing ollice. How proud ho was when ho went homo that first night and showed his new brass rule, and tells mother he has learned all the boxes aud has a free tickot to tho circus next week, and the editor gave him a big piece of wedding cake, a part of which he ha3 brought home for the baby, and if he sets up a column one day next week he can go fishing on Saturday. Yes, somewhere along there was a commencement of his long journey, and here he is now, perhaps two thirds on the way. He asks us: "What's the show for a sit?" Wo give him a case and by and by he feels faint and asks us if we can't lend him a quarter he hain't had any breakfast yer. Wc know his weakness, and as we need his work, we go down with him aud order some breakfast at the nearest restaurant. When he co'mes back he i3 happier and better able to work. lu the evening, when he goes to distributing his case, he recounts the history of his late places of employment. He knows the circulation aud amount of business of every paper in the State, aud just why the Dispatch suspended and why the Advance sold out to the Courier. Ho is well ac quainted with the unknown editor of the Thunderer, and has friends on the editorial force of the country. By and by he whistles low an air from an Italian opera and in reply to a question answers with a Latin quota tion. He stays with m a week and we all grow to like him more and more eveiy day; he has read eyerything from Shakspeare and Ruskin to Mark Twain and Bill Arp; he knows more about our laws, national and state, th-.n the best lawyer in the city; is well acquainted with tho life of every eminent person of the age, aud is a perfect encyclopedia of current events; but we can't afford to keep him any longer, so we pay him ofT, and he again starts on his long road that leads not home, for he has none, not to the .society of intelligent people like himself, for outside of the print ing ollice he is unknown; may bo back to night work on some city daily, or if too worn and old for that, a rapid descent from one country office to an other, with whisky and laudauum for companions, to an unmarked grave by some lonely wayside. l'alestiite(Tex.)
