Holder's auction sale begins at half-past ten this morning. Everyone has a sore shoulder this morning from snowballing yesterday. Capt.

The annual meeting of the P. L. and B. association will be held at Liberty hall at 7 o'clock this evening. More rain fell at Astoria than at Cape Hancock during the month of January: Astoria, 6.75 inches; Cape Hancock, C.45. Very little was done yesterday alonp the water front except to make all soup. The Eureka arrived in in the afternoon with freight and combustibles. The German Evangelical Reformed congregation will hold divine service at the Baptist church on Sunday next at 3 p. m.

Any one wishing to secure stock in the Clatsop Bridge company can have an op portunity any time before March 1st, by calling on the secretary. Mr. F. J. Taylor, at his office in the Pythian building. After the 1st prox. the stockholders will take up whatever stock is left. The ringing of the school bells at nine o'clock yesterday morning was further enlivened by the peal of the fire alarm. A burning chimney at H. B. Pamer's res idence was the cause. Both engines met at the corner of Main and Sqnemoqua streets and went flying down to the wharf. Fortunately their services were not de manded. At Salem on the Gth the supreme court of the state in the case of the city of As toria, respondent, vs. Geo. Hill, appellant, affirmed the decision of the lower court. In the case of C. "W. Loughery, respond ent, vs. Geo. Hill, appellant, a like de cision was announced. The application for citation to F. D. Winton to answer complaint was taken under advisement. The expressed determination at yes terday afternoon's meeting to begin iu mediate work on the Clatsop road will be a good thing for the county. There are a good many sensible people in this city who believe that one of the surest ways to bring a railroad here is to make it worth coming here and the way to make it worth coming here is to build roads that will tend to unite the county and give people a chance to settle wher they can nave some show of getting what they raise to market. Libel Dismissed. In the United States district court in Portland last Thursday Judge Deady gave a decision dismissing the libel of Pilot George W. Woodof thiB city against the British ship Ullock. The ship came into the Columbia river about a year ago and Wood signalled her. Before he could reach her, however, she took a Washington territory pilot from a tug boat. Therefore, Wood brought suit to recover the wages he would have earned had he piloted the vessel Into the river. Judge Deady decided that a pilot must be within a half a mile of a vessel when signalling, and that Wood was not at the time for which he brings suit. The judge further made the ruling that a vessel entering the Columbia river may take a pilot from Oregon or Washington territory, whichever happens to come first. Hiss Spanldlng'a Lecture. Miss Helen F. Spaulding, of Portland, delivered a lecture last evening at Lib erty hall. Her subject was "The Higher Education of Woman." The opening portion was a plea for its necessity; the major part was a demonstration of its fitness and an elaborate argument for its justice. The keynote of the lecture was the statement of one incontestable fact education has become not so much a question of gender as of humanity. Whether man or woman it is better to educate; as a cold, commercial tenet of successful policy it pays to educate; edu cated women are better wives for being educated; they are more conducive to the happiness of others and more likely to be happy themselves. The lecturer assumed in the latter part of "her lecture the Socratic method of discussion, and propounded a series of questions that would be distressingly difficult for any presumptuous opponent to answer. She paid particular attention to the recent pronunciamiento of Dr.Dix of Columbia College, New York, and in her expo 3e of that gentleman's fallacious statement made new contributions to the cause which she so ably advocates. Her statistics in reference to co-educa tion were admirably prepared and forti fied her position by their direct and con elusive proof of her assertions. Her manner is at once capuvuwng, convincing and sincere, and her peroration was a model of es3avio oratory. She was list ened? to with the utmost attention, and at its close was tendered a unanimous vote of thanks by the audience. 8ak(4Bcansaud Drowu Bread.

The Journal ties Debate cousfders British occupation imperative , ,-11111 liriTOC hnnianrl - aot nvnmn r r t prevent the East from relapsing "into barbarism. The Republique Francaise ironically presumes that England is strong enough to act alone, otherwise she would never have assumed the responsi bility to exclude Europe, and especially France, from participation in the settle-m-ntof Egyptian affairs. Senator Morgan has introduced a bill designed to head off any probable sena torial action concerning the forfeiture of land grants. It provides that a circuit court of the United States shall have jurisdiction on all questions arising from such declaration of forfeiture and shall have jurisdiction to determine whether any such declaration of forfeit ure has been so made as to abridge, im pair or destroy the granted rights of any state, corporation or person having rights of Ibasemeut or privileges, under the act of congress making such grants. Gen. Stone thinks the crushing defeat of' Baker Pasha will almost certainly cause an uprising of more Bedouin tribes in Egyptian territory, and possibly an uprising of Bedouins in Arabia, Syria and Palestine. It would not be surpris ing at all should it also orcate serious trouble in Tripoli, Tunis and Algiers. El Mahdi will not stop short of the con quest of Egypt if this happens. The only remedy for t je present state of affairs will be for England to send 50,000 British troops and 50,030 heathen Indians into the country. The rebellion cannot be 'onauared with four times the force now in Egypt. An Cnnsnal Snow Fall. ... ':.i. , . t . .-.. M.VEZ iUKtaUU fcr' O.L.A IJ1U111WI.11 4-tJ 1 The skies that flush in crimson splen dor above the eastern hills at dawn were yesterday overspread by a dark leaden cloud that rolled in from the northeast and from its capacious folds shook out a few scattering snowflakes. At ten o'clock snow began to fall in earnest and by noon three inches were lying on the streets and roof top?. The usual rattle of the wheels above the bent work and over tho bridged streets was muffled; in the stream the masts and Fpirs of the vessels took on curious shapes; through the city traffic and travel was almost sus pended, the busiest portion of humanity being the boys who were out in force with s'.eds and zipped down Benton street at a lively rate. Snowbal.ing was plenty and in some instances made business for the glazier. The Chinamen who have no more use for the snow than so many cats were the worst used. The sight of one on tha street was the signpl for a shower of snowballs, and the madder John got the more fun it was for the boy?. At three the snow stopped falling and a squall from the north sent showers of sleet. At the cape the wind was blowing forty knots an hour and eastward as far as St. Helens the snow was reported deep. At five o'clock the clouds rolled away and as the dusk deepened into night and the moon showed through rifts there was presented a scene of unusual beauty; crowds of merr youths and maiden i and boya under siity yoars of ago were out with overy conceivable kind of a vehiole that could be made to go on runners, the hillsides were in sp endid trim for coasters, and any one that didn't have a sleigh ride last night won't have another such chance for a long time. Chinee for Purchasers. The increasing circulation of The As tobiax necessitates the purchase of a new press. The present one in use is hardly up to the requirements of The Wesklt Astoeuv, and therefore like other good th'ng3, is to be superceded by new and improved machinery. Some time ago The Astobias, offered for sale about a ton of old type, of which it had no further use. Considerable has been sold. Anyone having any use for type can be given some with good face at "low cash prices. The press on which the naDer is worked off is the one boucrht from D. C. Ireland in September 1831. It was in good condition when purchased, and has. been run by competent and ex parienced pressmen ever since. It is in perfect working order and anyone need ing one of these useful lmtmments can get good figures by applying to the fore man at this office. Blacksmith Wauled.

Ameekxo was held at the court house yesterday afternoon to discuss the matter of building the road from hexe to Clatsop and eifecting a per manent organization. (J.

'JLhe names of tho stockholders and the number of shares each one held was rend by the secretary, being as fol fel fol eows: Geo. Fluvel, 1U shares; 0. A. McGruire, 2J share;; A.

It was resolved that the stockhold ers proceed to elect a board of direc tors, and that for that purpose each share have one vote in such election. It was resolved that the board consist of five members who should be empowered to draft and submit at the next stockholders' meeting a constitution and by-laws' for consideration. The following were elected as such a board of di rectors; Geo. Flavel, L W. Case, D. K. Warren, John Hobson and Josiah West. This was followed by a gen-, oral discussion concerning the details of structure, time, etc. In regard to the right of way everything neces sary has been guaranteed on both ends of the line, and as by a unani mous vote it was resolved as the sense of the meeting that the direct ors be instructed to begin active operations forthwith, it is probable that work will soon begin. The mat ter of a drawbridge has been consid ered better to hold in abeyance for a time. To put in a ferry across the channel is tho most expedient and for many reasons tho most satisfactory manner of covering that part of the road. The meeting adjourned at p. m. to meet at the call of the chairman. Fahj Eivek, Mass. Mr. P. F.
