C3) ASTORIA, OREGON: FRIDAY AUGUST 17,1883 -Tho Trctelvan has arrived out. ' Special council meeting to-night. J. B. Montgomery is about through aawinn lumber for the transfer at Coffin Rock. 100,000 tons is the estimated wheat yield of the Willamette valley the present harvest. E. C. Holden advertises the sale of furniture and household effects next Monday. See adv. Not since 1857 has there been such a dry spell as the present one in Oregon and Washington. The steamer Eurelui has been taken off the Alaska route and will hereafter run between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The cool mists of the last forty eight hours are sending many of the campers and Beaside visitors back to headquarters in their city homes. Portland favors spending 20, 000 in celebrating the completion of tho A. P. R. R., next month. The money is to be raised by popular con tribution. The old-fashioned mist yesterday blew in from tho south and the fog that has so long been in the deep bosom of the ocea-t buried, hung low amid tho firs. Amusement m plenty ha3 been offered the Aitoria public this sum mer. To-ni!jht the Callender min strels give an entertainment at Occi dental Hall: those desirous of going can get reserved seats at Strauss fc Co.'s New York Novelty store. N. bheridan was ready to leave Australia by last steamer, but the agile Selim, who went with him irom ban Jb rancisco as manager, put in a gentle attachment of 200, and Mr. Sheridan was "porwailed upon to stop," like the bishop's coachman in the song of Dick Turpin. On the Oregon yesterday, went an Oregon deputation of Knights Tern plar to tho San Francisco conclave which meets next Monday. On Thurs day next, which will be a legal holiday in California, the masonic fraternity will lay the corner stone of a monu merit to President Garfield. The Portland Standard thinks that a competing telegraph line from that city to San Francisco has become a necessity, and advances some excel lent arguments in suppn, of the theory. To demonstrate that an enterprise- will pay, is the surest way to tart active thought in reference to any project. The Oregon came down yesterday morning with the 1st cavalry band from Walla Walla, which accompanies the Oregon commandcry to San Fran cisco. She took on several thousand cases of salmon, and left out at half- past four. The Mate arrived m at flood tide, and putting mail and ex press on board tho Alice proceeded up stream. Unclaimed letters in the postof fices of the United States will in fu ture be held only seven days, instead of thirty, as has been the case hereto fore, before being sent to the dead letter office at Washington. This short time will cause great inconvenience to transient persons who receive mail at offices where they are not personally known. THE HAYES TRIAL. Not Guilty. The court room was even more densely crowded yesterday than tho day before by thoao who watched the j progress of the trial of Jos. Hays for the alleged murder of E. D. Raker, which has occupied the attention of the court since Wednesday morning. In continuanco of tho prosecution yesterday morning E. Thompson, H. McCormack and .T. Johnson, were placed on the witness stand and at the conclusion of their testimony court adjourned to 1 v. M. Upon reassembling, the following witnesses were called by counsel for defendant: Drs. Baker and Fulton, T. Wallace, Geo. Hill and Peter Hall, whereupon defence rested and the case wont to the jury, no rebutting testimony having been offered. F. D. Winton opened for the prosecution, and in an exposition of the case on behalf of the state claimed that the testimony showed a deliberate and successful attempt on the part of the defendant Hayes to murder; that more particularly the evidence of Chas. Radmeyer and Hattie Marks pointed to him as the man who com mitted the murder, and ihat justice demanded a verdict commensurate in severity with the magnitude of the crime committed: he was followed by F. R. Strong for be defense, who com menting on the testimony offered and the circumstances under which the crime was alleged to have occurred, claimed that the testimony adduced by the prosecution was not sufficiently strong to justify a verdict of condem nation, and that under no considera tion could a final penalty of right at tach to the punishment of the crime said to have been committed. He was followed by C. W. Fulton who went at length into the history of the affair and the circumstances which had preceded it, and in review of the testimony, and the motives ascribed to defendant argued that those motives did not exist in fact and tnat a strict interpretation of the testimony must of necessity result in acquittal; that though it was without doubt a murder had been committed, yet all that had been brought forward by tho prosecu tion had failed to substantiate tho as sertion of the defendants guilt. District Attorney McBridc closed for the state and in answer to preced ing counsel spoke of tho nocessity of impartial justice and the protection demanded by society; ho took up the testimony of the different witnesses and in comment argued that it was most direct and conclusive and fur nished abundant proof that the defen dant was guilty, and that a verdict to that effect should be rendered by the jury. At six o'clock tho judge made the usual charge to tho jury who retired to their room to consult as to their ver dict. Ybout half-past ton the jury sent word that they had agreed. The court was sent for. and presently tho several officers came in one by one. The sheriff brought in the prisoner, and at eleven o clock counsel beinir present the jury filed in. Judge Bennett asked the foreman if they had agreed upon a verdict and being an swered in the affirmative asked for the verdict which was handed him. The verdict was "Not guilty" Sea Sickness. Just how the pitching and rolling of a shin acts on the human frame so to produce the physical and mental prostration of seasickness is a matter of dispute. A ihcorv recentlv started by Dr. Irwin, an English physician, attributes it to tho disturbance of the fluids in the semicircular canals of the ear. it is generally recognized that irritation of any kind in these passages produces nausea and vomiting. Dr. Chapman, on the other hand sees the main proximate cause of this disorder the presence of an undue amount of blood in the spinal nervous centres, which rendera the nerves proceeding from them active, with the result of disturbing the action of the organs especially the stomach whose move ments they regulate. Another new writer on the subject, Dr. Carpenter, inclined to ittribute seasickness to the continued action of the brain of a certain set of sensations, more particu larly that of the want of support. Nothing in more disagreeable than the feeling consequent ou the sudden giving wa of a prop on which one is leauing, and the repeti tion of this sensation every time the vessel makes its downward movement is supposed to produce the nervous derangement which manifests itself in seasickness. Dr. Ellis writes to the Lancet that he found a complete remedy in carefully attending to the motion of tho vessel, and accompany ing in his mind, even by a slight stooping or pressing downward of the body the sinking down of the vessel's deck. Another medical correspondent stales that he found relief by watching the motion of the vessel, and, as she was about to descend, making an ef fort as though to force her down. The Philadelphia Continent says that the pplication of a light belt round the lower part of the abdomen mitigates the shocks to which, in a rough sea, the nervous system is subjected. The late Dr. George Beard's remedy was bromide of sodium, taken three times day a few days before embarking, md kept up at sea till the danger is past. A San Francisco dispatch says the repairs of the Queen of the Pacific are progressing slowly. Sho is neing thor oughly overhauled, and it is now proposed to sink a large coffer dam under her stern so that the pits of her propeller may be altered without the necessity of going into the dry dock. It is expected that with this improve ment her speed will be materially in increased. The extension of Cedar street westward will be of great benefit to that -part of the city, and will make a handsome thoroughfare. Should the council concludo to purchase two lots and thus enable the streets Shively'a and McClure's Astoria to join without any jogs or crooks, would add greatly to the appearance of the "vicinity and the convenience of its occupants. General Sherman and party reach Victoria on the 20th mst. and no at once to Vancouver, arriving there on the 23d. From Victoria to Tacoma the party will have a special steamer, stopping over to visit Fort Townsend and other points of interest on the Sound. This steamer arrives at Ta coma on the morning of tho 23d whence a special train takes them to Kalama. The steamer Lurlinc con veys them thence to Vancouver, hav ing been placed at their disposal for that occasion. General Miles has made elaborate preparations for the recep tlon of his guests, which will be done with a military salute and all the honors of the post. It has not been as yet decided whether or not the party will visit Forts Stevens and Canby. Though it is about decided to abandon Fort Stevens about October 1st, yet the retiring head of the army may in pect.Fort Canby. Peter Smith was reported to be unconscious last evening, ana it is thought that he will not recover. It would certainly be money m Ins pocket to die quietly and without fur ther aid than that alreatty afforded him. At an early hour yesterday morn ing the infant sou of Mr. and Mrs. .1. O. Bozorth was seized with convul sions, and died in a few minutes. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon and was largely attended by sorrowing friends who deeply sympathize with the afflicted parents in their bereave ment. The tumble iti Oregon Trans continental stock, attracts considers ble attention. All sorts of rumors are afloat in reference to its cause; one is that Gould is trying to get in "on the ground floor;" another, that Villard is about to execute a $15,000,000 mort gage; still another that that gentle man's promises in reference to branch roads were not going to be fulfilled, The probable reason is an effort bear the stock, and get it in at reduced figure, If Mr. Villard could or would declare in reference to the building of the Astoria railroad the effect upon the market would be as agreeable a surprise to his stockhold ers, as the receipt of the news to the wheat growers of the Willamette who look to the Astoria railroad as an out let.

Fianders' wharf was last night the scene of a daring highway robbery. About midnight James Gallatley, tho first officer of the ship Iiossdhu, then lying at the foot of Washington "street, was going along Flanders' dock when he was set upon by two villainous scoundrels, who struck him with a slung shot, knocked him off the upper dock to the landing, aoout ten feet below, and following, robbed him of his watch and three or four dollars in money. In the fall, Galletley's left leg below tho knee was broken in two places. He was sens to the Marino hospital. Standard, 1G. The fact that codfish in appar- ntly large numbers have been found off the Oregon coast at various times has led to a project on the part of some ot our Astoria cannervmen to establish a cou usliery, and arrange ments are now in progress with tho intention of seeing what can be done the matter. This valuable salt water fish has been met with off the Coquille coast, and is said to be found a3 far north as Tillamook rock. If so, and the fish comes in such prodigons quantities as is alleged, there will bo nothing to prevent the establishment of a Pacific coast cod fishery, with headquarters at Astoria.
