Tho weather yesterday xvas sort of
pinto. Fog and rain had tho best of it
and those who were on the river the
worst of it.
Astoria is fast becoming what by right
it should be-the headquarters for can
nery supplies of every kind. This sea
son sees an increased progress in that
direction.
A Chehalis county jury has decided
that to shoot and kill a man is "assault
and battery." That's what their ver
dict was in tho case wherein Jack Vin
cent was convicted of the murder of his
soa-in-law, West. But the days of sur
prise concerning the verdict of a jury
have gone by.
Ed Jackson has finished his new oven
and ma .lo other improvements in his es
tablishment that warrant him in claiming
to make as good bread and cake as any
bakery in the state. All kinds of fancy
cakes are turned out and fine confection
ery is made a specialty. Pork and beans
for to-morrow's dinner may be ordered
this morning.
The tuning of the fiddle, the beating of
the pigskin, the rattling of the cymbals
and the clanging of the gong are proof
that the Mongolian New lear has begun.
The neglected wood pile, and the unusual
carlessness regarding bringing home the
family wash also indicate that our Chi
nese residents are out for a big holiday.
The fun begins to-day.
A bull that in some inscrutable way got
down on the beach and under the build
ings on the east side of Main street be
low Chenamus made sad complaint all
day yesterday. All efforts to remove him
were ineffectual so tightly was tne bovine
wedged in, and how to get him out with
out making beef of him is a problem for
Clark Loughrey to solve to-day.
The Gen. Banning sails for Gray's .har
bor with freight and passengers to-day.
This is a service that would not exist but
for the enterprise of Capt. Gray and his
asso- ciatcs, and it should need no urg
ing for Astorians to patronize something
that tends to help them. Be it little oi
much whatever can be done to make the
Banning a success, should be done.
Now that it has been demonstrated as
an actual fact that money can be raised
for public purposes in Astoria, -wouldn't
it be a good' idea before things get cold
to make a move toward building the road
to iiaisop. At me present writing Hom
ing occurs to the average mind of greater
resulting benefit to tho city than would
inure from the completion of that nec
essary thoroughfare.
Mr. Pugh, who has been burning brick
on the Walluaki, goes to Gray's harbor
to-day to look into the feasibility of
fronting tue uiacx sana deposits io uu
found in such quantities along that
coast. The matter has been thoroughly
tried and- if Mr. Fugh succeeds where so
many others have failed he has a tre
mendous fortune in his reach. It beats
the newspaper business.
Arndt &. Ferchen are in receipt of a
lrge quantity of cannery machinery of a
recent make and approved pattern. S.
Arndt has lately invented and is now
making something that will fill ''a long
felt want." It is a device for taking off
leads from lines, and anyone that has
ever lugged and used scriptural oxpres
sions "while trying to get the lead on an
old line will bless the ingenuity of the in
ventor. Impobtakt Decision. The Anthony
Cline case, which has been recently de
cided by the Supreme court, contains a
ruling'that may be of benefit to the com
mercial world.es well as the legal fra
ternity. It says:
"Part payment within six years will
sustain an action to recover the balance
of the debt, although the contract on
which the debt arose is not evidenced by
any writing."
Wrtj.isp-aao Accept. One of the
queerest applications for positions that
has ever been made ia the request of a
Yamhill citizen, made to Representative
George, to the effect that he be appointed
as "census," The congressman looked
through the list of all the offices in the
gift of a member ot congress, and could
not find any by that name, lie inquired
of all other members of congress if they
had had applications for the position of
"census." They all denied that they had
ever been applied to fill "that office. He
finally wrote to the applicant and asked
him what his application meant. The
man answered that he had been reading
that the last census embraced 15,000
women, and -he thought he would like to
be a' census.

.SI'AUIAL. TO TIIF. ASTOniAN'.J
Portiand, Jan. 2Tk Fred Douglass,
late marshal of the District of Columbia,
and the most prominent colored man in
the country, was married this evening to
Miss Helen M. Potts, .i white woman,
and a former resident of Avon, N. Y.
Tho wedding, which took place at tho
house of Dr. Grimke, of Calvary Presby
terian Church, was private, there being
but two witnesses present. Tho first
wife of Douglass who was n negress, and
a most estimable woman, died about n
year ago. The woman that he married
to-day is about 33 years of age, and was
employed as a copyist in his oflice while
he was marshal of the district. Doug
lasses now in tho seventy-fourth year of
his age and has daughters as old as his
present wife.
WelN, Farro Wins.
Portland, Jan. '. In the tise of
Wells, Fargo & Co., vs. the O. IJ. & N.
Co., in which tho former ask that iho
latter should ha adjudged in contempt of
court, Judge Deady decided to-day in
favor of Wells, Fargo & Co., in the sever
al suits brought by that company. Judge
Deady has invariably held that no privi
lege can be granted by a railroad com
pany to one expnw comy.my which is
not granted to any othor express eon.
pany. Notwithstanding thos? decisions the
O. K. & N. Co.'s pursers have acted as
agents for the Northern Pacific Exprasa
Co., and have refuspd to act as agents for
Wells, Fargo & Co., and it was upon this
that the suit was brought. The question
of damages was referred to W. 1J. Gilbert
for adjudication.
Snow fell here early this morning to
the depth of seven inches. All tho street
car lines were delayed until lato this
afternoon and are now running at irregu
lar intervals. All tho principal streets
are lined with cutters and vohicles of all
descriptions on runners.
V Xeir Idea.
The work of improving the Columbia
river bar is something that interests every
Astorian, and though the tardiness of
congress in making the needed appropri
ations for the work wreaks hardship upon
our prosperity, ultimate success in this
matter is an. article of faith with us all.
About sixteen mouths ago tho govern
ment engineers that wore sent out hero
for that purpose to report concerning it
recommended the construction of a jetty
about two miles long, extending in a
northwesterly direction from Point
Adams. This report was adopted, and in
furtherance of the scheme a bill is now
before congress making an appropriation
of 500,OJO for that purpose. The success
attending the recent effort to prevent
the washing away of the ground upon
which Fort Stevens stands has confirmed
many in the belief that a continuation of
that system would furnish the necessary
means of clearing a deep and p3rmanent
channel at a cost far less than that in
volved in the plan endorsed by the gov
ernment engineers. Some few years ago
the washing away of the spit created
fears that Fort Stevens would have to
be abandoned. Late improvements have
dissipated probabilities of danger in that
respect This improvement is duo in a
great measure to an admirable system of
driving piles recently patented by the
inventors, Suprenant '& Ferguson, of this
city.
The system, which was at the time of
their receiving the letters patent, fully
described in The Astouiax, consists in
hydraulic appliances. It is the belief of
the inventors that by driving a
double row of piles northward from
Fort Stevens to Sand Island, that island
would bo made to disappear, the south
channel would ba closed, and a deep and
permanent channel created north of the
location of Sand Island as laid down in
the charts of 1881. They are now prepar
ing plans in relation to the idea, and will
present them to the chambor of commerce
at its next meeting for consideration.

Srlfctlnt; Jurymen.
';Iu getting our jurymen, we lawyers
frequently make terriblo mistakes terri
ble mistakes," said a well-kuown legal
defender of criminals as ho sat in the
court-room and watched tho selecting of
t.vclve good men to try a prisoner. "We
study tho faces of jurymen all our lives, '
ho continued, "and still we blunder when
eer called on to fill a jury box."
"What are tho general rules that law
yers go by in selecting jurymen?" asked
the person to whom tho attorney had
spoken.
"There aro no safe general rules," was
the reply. "Lawyers try to establish such
rules, but always find them misleading.
All lawyers concede, however, that an
American mechanic or small man of
business makes the best juryman to get
at the real merits of a case and return a
true verdict. Some lawyers hold that a
German will convict a prisoner on insuffi
cient testimony because of his high re
gard for law, and that an Irishman will
show sympathy and help a poor devil out
of difficulty by finding him not guilty
whenever it is possible. Some say
that old men aro more likely
to find a prisoner guilty than young men
are. A low-down juryman, who never
had a chance to exercise any authority to
speak of in his own or other people's
affairs, will vote to convict every pris
oner who comes in his way, simply to
revenge himself on the human raco that
has kept him under so long. Then there
is the weak-willed juror, the addle
headed juror and the sleepy-lazy juror,
who are merely nonentities, 'and will find
e verdict pretty much at random. The
bulldog juror and tho passionate juror
are the fellows who will either have a ver
kict all their own way or will have no
verdict at all. But the thing that counts
and what I liko to see in the jury-box
above all other things, is blood."
"Blood?"
"That's it. A born gentleman is the
best juror in the world. A good figure,
a fine eye and clean-cut features are un
answerable arguments to convince the
coarser eleven that thoir favored asso
ciate understands the caso they are to
decide more thoroughly than they can
hope to do. Blood will tell ns quickly in
tho jury box as any other place."
