Fuiton lexves for Kcw York citj this morning on an ex tended visit to the Atlantic slope. Purser Seely of the Fleetwood is selling round trip tickets to the Mechanic's fair at Portland, for 82.50. Some of the Queen's jettisoned cargo was sold at auction at Portland yesterday. The matter has not as yet received final adjustment. Dr. C. B. Martin and wife ar rived on the Oregon last Monday evening. Mrs. Martin will assume charge as principal of the new school in District No. one. The American ship Ix King, Bartlott master, arrived in yesterday from Victoria, 15. C, in ballast. She made the run in twenty-four hours, an extraordinary quick trip. The four scholars in Grace church parish school receiving the highest marks for the month ending Oct. 5th were Louise Tallant, Frank Rucker, Ethel Andrews and Edward Crang. The Standard is authority for the statement that the iWjrx stock is di vided as follows: Cole, four-sixths; Egan, one-sixth; Von lteinholts, one- twelfth; UVnrlctt and Mitchell, one twelfth. Mrs. Geo. 15. McEwan, who has been ailing for some limo with typhoid malaria, died at two o'clock Monday morning. The funeral will take place from hor late residence at two o'clock this aftornoon. In the justice court 3'csterday was a case where Aug. Hilstrom en tered complaint against Theo. Seet gast, for alleged assault with a dan gerous weapon. Sectgast gave bail in the sum of $300 for his appearance at the next term of circuit court. It is reported that a number of interior towns are being victimized by sharps who pass gilded nicklcs for five dollar gold pieces. They will hardly drop down here, yet it might be v. ell to take an extra look at any new shiny coin ot the kind that may be offered. Another good house greeted Moss' Operatic Minstrels at Occidental Hall last night. Th3 company would doubtless draw well a third night, but dates on the Sound must be filled. The troupe is a good one and reflects credit upon its members and enter prising manager. At the last meeting of the Port land board of trade a letter from II. F. Fronch. assistant secretary of the treasury, was read, stating that per mission had been given the collectors of customs at Astoria and Portland to issue lighterage permits. This new order docs away with the old neces sity of applying to the secretary at Washington. The Columbia cable is all neatly spliced and coiled on a scow and at the first favorable opportunity will be laid between Fort Stevens and Scar borough head, from which latter point Lieut. Green constructed a tele graph lino to Cape Hancock last sum mer. The station at the lighthou3t is in charge of Sergeant 0. D. Stew art, a vory competent observer, who assumed charge on the 1st. An exchange saj's: A paper to be first-class must receive tirst-class patronage. First-class patronage con sists in every subscriber paying his subscription in advance, patronizinj the job department instead of seiithn: the work to foreign offices, and in v.i nously giving the paper your moral support. Taking and reading it, and not paying for it, will never do'. Mor al support of itself was never known u run newspapers; moral snppor cannoL oe utilized wnen ink and pa per bills are to be paid. The men who work upon newspapers are hu man, and enjoj com beef and cab bage as well as other people. The at mosphere in this locality contains large amount ot ozone and is vcrj' bracing, the scenery very grand and picturesque, but nevertheless it seems to e one ot nature s laws that one can't pay for printing material with ozone, or feed workmen on beautiful scenery.

At the regular meeting of the city council last evening the following an nual report was received from W. J. Barry, chiof engineer Astoria Fire Department: To -run Mayok anu City CorsciL: G entlemen : I herewith submit to you my annual report as chief en gineer of Astoria Fire Dept. for the year ending Sept. HO, 1883: During the year there has been 3-t fire alarms to which the Dept. re sponded and numerous brush firc3 on the hills back of the city. The total los? by fire has been a3 near as I can ascertain, including the box !ac- toryat Upper town, $250,000, on which there was an insurance of $73,- 000. In combating tires during the past year, especially those in the resi dence part of the city, the depart ment has labored under great disid vantage on account of the litck of cis terns on the back streets, of being un der the necessity ot laying 1,:UU or 2.000 feet of hose up the steep hill side, making unnecessary work for the men and straining the apparatus; this could be obviated by the con struction of a few large cisterns, cen trally located in the higher parts of the city. Another cause of delay in responding to alarms is the uncer tainty of the location of the fire, to remedy which 1 would suggest the immediate arrangement of an electric alarm with. at least six lnrm boxes, and one gong, the gng to be at the engine house of Rescue Engine Co., No. 2, as that is the most central lo cation. The hose carts at present in use are not of sufficient carrying capacity and I would most earnestly recommend the purchase of a large carriage, as the necessity of it is apparent at near ly every fire. The alarm bell has not given satisfaction in its present loca tion, as it is not elevated sulficicntly be heard distinctly. The cistern covers in this city are and have been very much neglected, they arc not located in the center of o street crossings, and are allowed become filled with dirt so that it is almost impossible to raise them, others are covered over bv the planking of the street, and there are not enough them to insure dispatch in getting ater. I would also recommend for the preservation ot the lire engines the immediate introduction of somo method of supplying them with fresh water, as at present they are obliged stand with salt water in their boil ers causing them great injury and de laying them in making steam. I would call jour attention to the fact that the ordinance regarding riving over lines of hose is frequent ly violated, and recommend that it be strictly enforced. The engine houses and fire appa ratus belonjiiug to the city are in pod condition, there would be an im provement made in the house of R. E, Co. .No. 2., by cutting a door where the window on the east side of the main door now is, it would give room to tike out the hose cart without moving the engine which at present has to be done. The apparatus and membership of the department are as follows: ASTORIA ENOIN'E CO. NO. ONE. One 2d class Amoskcag engine; hose cart and 1850 ft. carbolized hose 1 tender to engine; one heater, 2 rub ber play pipes. 1 brass pipe, 10 span ners, 7 torches no good, one couplin expander, 5 set new couplings and 5 feet 3 ch hose. Membership 75. RESCUE ENGINE CO. NO. TWO. One 3d class Silsby engine, 1 lies cart, 1.750 ft. White Anchor hoso.g tender to engine, five duty pipes, connection, 3 spanners, 1 set taps and dies, 1 set hanging tubes, 1 set sm ikc flues, one set grate bars, 1 circulatio chamber for heater and 50 ft. i inci rubber hose. Membership 75. ALERT HOOK it LAD1IER CO. One truck, four laddors none of them long enough to reach the roof of any of the medium high buildings in the citv. three roof ladders, two hooks, eight axes, thirty buckets, two crowbars, two Babcock fire extinguish ers. and a lot of chemicals for the Babcocks. This compmy have proved them selves to be vmuantand active mem members of the department and de serve better treatment than they havo received at the hands of the city; at any and every alarm they are anion the first at the scene of the fire doing all in their power with tho limited means at their disposal to assist in the protection of life and property; their so called truck is not and never has been suitablefor the service required of it. They should at once be pro vided with a new truck and extension ladders and more Babcock fire extin guishers. While awaiting the arrival of the new truck for this company your honorablo body should procure new axles for the present-one, as thoso now in use are liable to break down at any time and it is too much to expect of tho boys that when she does "bust," they will carry the ladders on their shoulders. There is also belonging to the city ono hand engine in good repair. ' The steam tug Pioneer has been fitted with reducers and m cate of need can supply two or more powerful steamers for firo duty.

Oil on the Waters. The report of B. C. Sparrow, super intendent of the second life saving district, under whose directions ex periments have recently been made the use of oil for calming rough seas, has been presented to Superin tendent Kimball, of the life saving service. The experiments were maue with a view to determing to what ex tent oil could be used as an auxiliary agent by the life saving servico, and the conclusion deduced from them , the superintendent says, is thai: Oil exerts no influence 'upon a sea that breaks on the shore. The result when in roiling indnlatiou from the ocean throws thousands of tons of wa ter upon the shore cannot be pre- entcd by thin Aim oil. A majority of printed statements, together with all verbal statemtnts made by mari ners who have used it, furnish con clusive evidence that in deep water, oil has a calming mlluence upon a rough sdh; but there is nothing in either source of information which an swers tho question whether or not there is a force exerted by wind a point beyond which oil cannot coun teract its influence in causing the sea to break. waiter . iUoss, the genial man ager of the Boston Operatic Minstrels, tells of a clever game practiced by two MinnesoLi youths who wanted to go west bn lacked tho needful.
