The newly elected officers of Pacific Lodge No. 17, 1L of P., were installed at their lodge room last bveniug. .The weather grew warmer yesterday; the wind came in occasional gusts from the south, and but little rain fell. If you have not yet secured a seat for to-night's entertainment supiuy the omission to-day; j-ou will be pleased. ' The New Year's issue of the Seattle I'ost-Ititellitjencer is a splendid exhibit of that city's progress and a credit to its en terprising compilers. I. J. Arvold was yesterday attached by Portland creditors; his assets more than cover his liabilities and he will bo but temporarily embarrassed. Beginning at half-past one this afternoon at Carl Adler's old Chenamus street store, E. C. Holden will sell at public auction a large stock of toys, notions, fancy goods, etc. See adv. About 2400 feet of 4 inch pipe is still needed to finish the Astoria Water com pany's work of laying pipe through the city streets. Jt was sent for some time ago and is expected here about February 1st. A. "W. Berry, Phil. Johnson and Archie Peaso were yesterday summoned as wit nesses in the salvage case of Henry Ol son vs the American bark C. D. Bryant, which comes off at Portland next Tues day. D. P. Thompson says the report in reference to the appointment of Capt. Luther as superintendent of the Astoria water works is wholly unauthorized. It is probable that when the works are com pleted J. "V. "Welch will have charge. Matters along the docks have been quiet since New Year's, the heavy weather interfering with outside work. The Oalcworth went down to baranchorage yesterday. The Oban Bay cleared with f7, 793 bus. wheat for Queenstown. woth $5G,993. The Idaho arrived down yesterday afternoon and goes out to-day. The de layed Oregon arrived inibout four p.

Crowell, which sailed from Astoria July 13, '83, with a cargo of salmon for Liver pool, arriving Nov. 17, '83. He reports a good voyage, and that the cargo is un loading in fine condition. To avoid the rush at the door this evening you would do well to get vour ticket for the Rescue Jubilee Troupe's performance to-day. Remem ber, it is but 50 cents to seats in all parts of the house. The after piece and char acter sketches, are, of themselves, a big bill. An Ilwaco subscriber to Tin? Astohiax writes in approval of our suggestion that Astoria's streets be numbered, etc., but wants to know "how are you going to number them, so as to make it legible?' Sure enough ! How would it do to pat a little mirror on each corner and put with ornamental soap work the name of the sheet upon its polished surface? In the circuit court yesterday in the case wherein "Wm. Beasley sued Mrs. Badollet for damages alleged to have been sustained by a defective sidewalk in front of defendant's premises, Judge Ben nett dismissed the case without having it go to the jury, his decision virtually he me that individual members oi the com munity are not responsible for that class of damages alleged to have been sus tained by the plaintiff.

Commis sioner Bozorth yesterday appeared Timo thy Sullivan, who was brought in from his place on the Nehalem by Fred David son on a charge preferred against him by D.F. Kelleher, of perjury in making final proof on his claim. The case was contin ued till to-day by consent of counsel. A Busy Establishment. At C.H.Bains mill a large amount of fine work is be ing turned out. Over 3,000 worth of new and improved machinery is now be ing put in place; he has lately built a large extension to his mill, put up a dry ing room, laid in a large stock of mate rial and guarantees satisfaction in all kinds of woodwork. Particular atten tion is paid to fine doors and .finishing. Submarine Expeeiekoe. For some time the tank in which sets the gas holder of the Astoria Gaslight Cornpanj", has not given satisfaction. Yesterday George Moon, the foreman at the works, who had previously sent for a diving suit, arrayed himself therein and niade a plunge in sixteen feet of water. The ticklish part of the business was to come up just in the right spot, and under the huge meter which holds the gas. The job was successfully accomplished, the leak located and attended to, and among other proficiencies Moon has demonstrat ed his .ability to work with ten feet of water over his head. "Wanted.

The spectacle of 234 Chinamen, each dressed in the national costume of black pants, blue blouse, and black hat, standing on Benton street and gazing at the court-house yesterday, was occasioned by two suits in progress of trial therein, in which Chinese were plaintiffs and defendants. The services of the entire force were required; a spe cial bailiff was appointed to prevent the steaming crowd from invading the sacred precincts of the inner temple, six law yers, two interpreters, a basket of chick ens, twelve jurymen, sundry bundles of red and yellow paper, were among the ad juncts of the scone. As each witness gave his or her testimony all due formal ity was observed, and the glittering knife that decapitated the hapless fowls who squawked dismally, fell with a dull thud as the attendant demon burned the pa pers and the witness called on :J7 Chinese gods to witness the truth of his asser tions. Chickens are scarce and dear in Astoria, and it was with mingled feelings of alarm and regret that several Cau casians saw the mthless slaughter of poultry as deodands to justice. If niany more Chinese cases come up the price of chickens will materially advance. The point in dispute was a certain or uncer tain promissory note, and requires some time yet to decide.

From New York comes the news that the resignation of Villard was positively presented yesterdaj to the meeting of tho Northern Pacific stockholders. There is a gi owing feeling of sympathy for Vil lard. Many of those who lost heavily by his management still maintain their be lief in his management. From several authoritative sources, says tho World, we are enabled to state what Yillard'a condition is, financially and physically, as viewed by those who take tnomost generous view of his acts. It is said by these that Villard is a poor man; that the fortune he created in so short a time has crumbled to dust: that ho does not even own the house in which he lives, and that the 500,000 he settled on his wife has disappeared also. Villard, they sav is an honest man, and has not created a fortune out of his friends, and that his great losses, coupled with the great fall he has had in public estimation, have completely shattered him. He is actually dazed at his position, and is far from his former self. Villard, they say, a3 an ex planation of his fall, is a visionary man, and his enthusiasm ran away with his judgment. This is the favorable view of Villard, and it is unnecessary to say there is a darker construction of his character and financial career. Villard himself maintains that ho has lost his all. The Herald says: "We print an inter view with a friend of Henry Villard con cerning the relation of that gentleman to tho Northern Pacific and its kindred cor porations, and concerning Villard's health and private fortune, which will be read with great interest, and, we believe, with great sympathy. The fact that the'reporter was referred by Villard to this gentleman for an au thoritative statement gives the report an air of truthfulness, iollowing are pas sages from tho interview: "Villard is ruined in his private for tune. He has not as much money to his name to-day as you have. AH has gone to help the great enterprises he has been at the head of. There can be no question of his conscientiousness or integrity, for he has voluntarily sacrificed his private means to support the North ern Pacific. Ho has nothing left abso lutely nothing. His stocks, bonds, two residences, all are involved in the wreck Ho has saved nothing. Ho never was so rich as reported. He was not worth $10, 000,000. Five was nearer the figure." "Did the conversation with Billing3 take place, as reported?"' "Yes. Last Sunday Billings called to see Villard. Billings, you know, had quarreled with Villard, and there was some ill felling between them. "When Billiug3 called and found him sick in bed, and learned that Villard had im poverished himself in his efforts to sup port tho company, Billings expressed en tiro belief in Villard's integrity, and there was a scene of reconciliation be tween tho two. "When tho rascals in "Wall street made their combined attack on the street, Villard was straining every nerve to preserve the company's credit, and began to sacrifice his own money. To make matters worse he was away from the city, and had to do business by telegraph. A certain banking firm was in difficulty, and would have failed if he had not come to its rescue by raising money on bonds jnd property belonging to him. So he has gone on," giving his own money away, until everything he owns is pledged. But there is one source of strain upon him which I have not mentioned. Money has been trusted in to his hands to invest for other people. All financial men know what that ex- Eerience is. His friends would insist on aving him invest their savings. "When the stock went down such was Villard's sense of honor that I have known him, many a time, to put his hand into his own pocket and purchase stock to save them from depreciation. I suppose he has lost $1,000,000 in this way." "Has Villard resigned the presidency?" "His resignation is in the hands of tho directors."
