Last Krenlns" omlaatlon.
Pursuant to a call, there was a citizens'
meeting in Headington's shop at 7:30
o'clock yesterday evening. The meeting
was called to order by J. C. Ross, who
stated the object of the meoting was to
nominate a candidate for mayor and a
candidate for councilman. W. B. Head
ington was elected chairman and Aug.
Danielson secretarv. The hall was full.
and from the appearance of some of the
oters it was evident that there was tun
ahead. The chairman decided that no
one but residents of the Stcond ward had
a right to vote when nominations for
mayor came up.
Nominations being declared in order,
J. "W. Hume was placed in nomination,
also v. Morgan, Jr.. likewise J as. lurK.
It was then decided that nominations
close, and that the nominees be voted for
by bpllot. By this time there was a good
manv strance faces in the room, such
faces as one will usuallv see in the fore
castle of a vessel. Geo. Wheeler and
Walter Kobb were appointed tellers, and
thev stood in a corner to receive the
vote's as they were cast. The safeguards
against reixjaters were not very strict,
and after twenty-five or thirty votes had
been cast, J. M. Ulsen concluded that a
little challenging would do no harm, so
taking his stand alongside the tellers he
peremptorily challenged the votes of sev
eral Gentlemen, who appeared much sur
prised at such action. One hardy mari
ner with an unmistakable twitch to his
trousers declared that he was an Ameri
can citizen, but being unable to state the
time of residence that ho had en joyed in
the pleasant pastimes that leisure alfords,
was prevented from exercising his prerog
ative, much to his disgust.
When evervone was tired of voting
tho ballots were counted, with the fol
lowing result: J. W. Hume, 33: D. Mor
gan. Jr.. C; Jamas Turk, 32. On motion
J. W. Hume's nomination was made
unanimous.
Nominations for councilman being in
order, the matter went on more regular
ly. Thomas Dealy and T. A Orcutt were
placed in nomination with the following
result: Dealy, 35; Orcutt, 22. Thomas
Dealy was declared the nominee for
councilman for the second ward. The
meeting then adjourned.
The Twelve O'clock Ordinance.
At the time the city council had under
discussion the drafting of an ordinance
closing all places of business, etc., at
midnight, tho probability of the measure
nassinc provoked a ereat deal of discus
sion. Mayor Jlahn vetoed the ordinance
alter its passage but the council passed
the ordinance over his veto, und since then
it has been one of the laws of the muni
cipalty. The spirit and effect of an ordi
nance like that must alwavs be taken in
to account. It is argued that Astoria is
not a little village of twenty or thirty
families that could mutually agree
to act in accordance with certain ideas,
but is a city and a growing one. People
get hungry and thirsty, and sleepy just
the same whether it be 12 o'clock at noon
or 12 o'clock at night, and it is a question
whether sumptuary ordinances can ob-
8ent here, and placed in general circula
tion, anu il is me general experience oi
cities that it helps wonderfully to have
money come from tho outside, from tran
sients, from travel, etc, lhe community
that exclusively trades among its mem
bers is not, as comparisons go, as well
supplied with the needful as one wherein
greater latitude prevails.
Of course the intent of the
ordinance is well recognized and is sound
in principle. As Paul has it: '"The letter
killeth and the spirit giveth life." So it
is in this instance. Could some way bo
devised whereby the objectionable fea
tures of the matter were removed while
retaining the inherent intent, it would
be a satisfactory solution of the problem

LOSS of Tire ALrilA.
A Total Wreck The Crew Mlsslny.
Reliable report comes to The Astobian
from Hobsonville, Tillamook county
that tho schooner Alpha, which left here
two weeks ago last Saturday, is lost with
all hands. Collins, Starr, and Gabrielsen.
She was seen by the Queen of the Pacific
tho evening of the day she left here, and
the next day (Sunday) parties at Tilla
mook saw her with sails set, trying to en
ter: she got pretty well in, but when off
Fuller's Point she broached to and went
into the breakers. She drifted for two
miles, and as well as the watchers at
Hobsonville could make out had lost all
sails and was badly stove, nothing was
seen of her. but as her boats have come
ashore at Tillamook, and tho beach is
covered with wreck and damaged goods,
the probability is that she is lost. The
Alpha was a staunch little craft and was
well known here, having plied between
the Columbia river ind the southern
coast. She was owned by Wm. Olsen, of
Tillamook.

TniuEB Land Fbaud. Some time since
a company was organized, under the
title of Klatskanine Milling company, to
acquire possession of large tracts of tim

in the manufacture of lumber, etc. Two
persons, named Brad) and Mahar, were
engaged to go down and look over cer

purchase. They were gone three days,
and on coming back testified that they
had been on every forty-acre tract in

necessitate an impossible amount of

That ho had not visited all the land, but

by the company have been cancelled at

HE5RT TILLAED'S LOTE.
Romantic Career of the President of the
Northern I'sclfle Railroad.
On a bright frosty morning late in the
fall of 1853 a stout German youth hastily
made his exit from the little University
of Munich, Bavaria. He wore the con
ventional tight-fittingsuitof tho German
student. A cloth carpet-bag contained
his wealth with the exception of a few :
florins in his pocket and a stout walk-;
iug stick in his hand. Heiurich Hiigard j
was a bright youth, an npt scholar, had j
passed through the elementary school of j
Zweibrucken, the town of his nativity. I
and the several classes of the Latin !
school, and finally had spent a year at a j
French school at Pralzbourg, in Lor-;
reiue. He terminated his pursuit of I
knowledge by taking "French leave' of
the University of Munich. School life
had grown monotonous. He had entered l
upon it at sir years of age. and twelve-1
years later had concluded to seek his for-!
time. The vouth tramped to the home of :
his father, who then occupied a judicial ;
bench m the town ot zweibrucken. uitu
fair show of meekness and contrition '
the son listened to tho anticipated chu- i
sure and then coolly proposed that hi.- j
father should settle upon linn a small
fortune with which he desired to specu
late in American cities. The rosult of
this interview was that a few days later
Heinrich Hiigard left the parental roof
with sufficient funds to carry him across
the ocean to a settlement m a remote :
corner of Illinois, where an uncle had
preceded him a year before and was in-
agea in iarnimg.
Heiurich. it is said, had left behind a
hpnntiful French mniden.whoswaconaint-
ance he had made while attending cjI- j
lege at Jjorraiue, unu am aiep in em-ring
upon the world uad been induced bv an
ambition to become worthy of her hand.
On .November , lo.vJ. the young man
lauded in Castle Gjirdeu. The grandeur
of the metropolis dazed him. Instead of
going at once to Illinois he decided to
try his fortune there. A year of misfor
tunes and ill-luck, however, servc-d to
Iter his imnd considerably, nitu a
sinking heart he sought his relatives in
the township of iielleville, bt. Clair
county, Blinois, and there remained as a
farm assistant for several years.
During the long winter evenings Henry.
as ho had now become known, umused
himself bv corresponding for German
papers at his old home. At last he
secured a little nionev for his articles in
a German paper in St. Louis; This was
tho turning point in the career of the am
bitious youth. He soon increased his
knowledge of the English language b
diligent study, and soon after settled in
St. Louis, where he obtained employ
ment. Then he interested himself in
the progress of the rapidly-increasing
western cities and wrote glowing ac
counts to tho New York Tribune anoT Her
ald. In 1858 he was engaged to report
the political campaign between Lincoln
and Louglass for tho New York pres3.
He rapidly rose in journalistic circles and
then for the first time the nanio of Henry
Yillard, a nom-de-plume, became known
to the people of that city. Under this
name he won many laurels. When the
war was declared between tho north and
south in 18G1 he was engaged by the New
York Herald ns a war correspondent.
At the first attack upon Charleston he
was on Admiral Dupont's flag-ship, and
was the only correspondent in the en
gagement. His success in reporting the
battle earned for him a three-weeks'
leave of absence, and on coming north he
found himself a hero. He made the
acquaintance of William Lloyd Garrison,
and was taken to that gentleman's home
in Boston, and introduced to tho Garrison
household as a hero and strong anti-
slavery advocate. Hero the young man
saw "Miss Fanny Garrison, a beau
tiful young lady, who was at
that time about completing her edu
cation in a Boston seminary. She was
considered one of the belles of Boston
society, was patriotic, bright and, though
quite young, thoroughly understood tne
causes which led to the" breach between
tho north and south. Mr. " illard passed
many hours in conversation with the
enthusiastic maiden before ho again
started for the front. Her vivacious
manner and winning wavs had driven
from his memory the early resolutions
made before he sought his fortune on
this side of the Atlantic, and the modest
desire for a little cot in sunny France
with the dark eyed girl who had first m
Epireu mm wivu me teuuer Kviuimenu oi
love, as his wife. Never in all his travels
in Europe or any portion of the west and
south for bv this time Yillard had seen
much of the world had ho come in con
tact with a soul which had so thoroughly
charmed him. He returned to the south
fully determined to keep her foremost in
his memory. When, later on, malarial
fever contracted in the southern swamps
forced him again to return north, he
was assisted back to health by the tender
sympathies and cheering smiles of the
beautiful iioston girl. Then he declared
his love both to the daughter and parents
and a little later he led her to the altar.
Since his marriage, Mr. Villard's life has
been one of unusual success.
