.There was considerable life and bustle
on the streets yesterdaj'. The fine
weather brought out everyone; along the
water front arriving and departing ves

He was busy explaining just how it
happened that so much liquor had been
wasted these hard times by the glass
slipping through his fingers and being
smashed upon the floor. ''What kind of

glass at all; it was a tumbler."'
A meeting of mechanics was held in
Portland last evening, the object being
to protest against convict labor m their
line of business at the state prison. They
hold that it is unfair to place men con
victed of crime in competition with those
who have to support themselves and their
families outside the walls of a prison.
There will be school meeting:; in tho

items of business will be the election of
Bchool directors for a period of three
years, and school clerks for a period of
one year.
Two clothes lines fell in the mud yec
terday morning; an express wagon hone
started to run away and didn't; a man
lost a dollar through tho sidewalk or
shaking dice, he isn't certain which; a
Soung fellow started down the street
ressed in his sisters clothes but was
caught onto before he had got a block;
two dog fights were started but neither
one amounted toanything, and two ships
went to sea.
Sometime ago it was announced that
there'would be a reduction in the present
telegraph rates in Oregon and Washing
ton Territory. " The reduced rates go into
effect to-morrow and will doubtless re
sult in an increase of business. From
March 1st onward the rate on ten words
from here to Portland will be twentj--five
cents for day messages; there will be no
reduction in night rates. It is probable
that the California rates will also be re
duced this spring.
'Meebili. Wins. The twenty-mile bi
cycle race at the pavilion last night be
tween Merrill of this city and Warren of
Astoria, attracted a crowd of about 1000,
and was hotly contested. Warren waB
given three minutes' start. Merrill, by
steady, hard work gradually overcame
the handicap, and when his twenty-third
mile bad been made, lacked only one lap
of beating tho Astorian. Feeling certain
that the race was in his hands (or more
strictly, in his feet), he did not exert him
self speoially, and tho two kept woll
together until the close, making a very
pretty race to look at. Merrill won
easily, his time being one hour and
eighteen minutes. Warren claims that
he was not in fit condition to ride against
Merrill last night, being sick abed the
first of the week, and says that he has
friends who will back him against Merrill
with the same start for 100 a side.
Oregonian, 2S.
Dunns axd Pat op Pilots. The final
hearing in the case of Pilot Olsen vs.
the ship C. D. Bryant, which was libeled
by the plaintiff for salvage in the U. S.
district court, has been completed and
the matter now awaits Judge Deady's de
cision. A statement of the facts in the
case is as follows; The libelant, Olsen,
found, this vessel on the middle sands on
the evening of the 4th of September.
She was hard aground. Olsen went
aboard her from the pilot boat J. C.
Cousins. That night or the next morn
ing, with the aid of tho wind and a flood
tide, the vessel got off and went out to
sea. She then came in on flood tide,
being piloted by Olsen, who, when he
.reached Astoria, received pay for his
pilotage, for which he gave a receipt.
Olsennow brings this suit for salvage.
On the other hand, Capt. Buttmau, mas
terof the Bryant, says Olsen did noth
ing to save the vessel. But the Oregon
niint. not of 1882 provides that oilots li
censed under it shall render aid to ves
sels in distress whenever possible. It
jdso.says that this proviso shall not pre
sent; a claim for salvage when such ac
tion involves extraordinary risk and
danger to themselves. Tho claimant in-jsists-that
tho pilot was bound to come to
.his assistance, and in so doing incurred
jjo-risk; therefore he only did his duty.
This is the question that remains tode
'.cide. The case was argued by Fred R.
troagfor libellant, and M. w. Fech
ktimer for th claimant. Oregonian, 28.
THE SOLVER R. 3EADE.
TSie Storj of a Stormy Vojage.
The American -lup Svmner R. Meade,
1"S.". previously report od, arrived in y-s-
tmlay afternoon, with Roneral merchnn-
dis- from New York, consigned io Allen
ir Lewis, of Portland. As he lay pir-
( tiaJly dismastod in the stream fhe'wasau
objoct of interest to hnndredn who had
heard of her stonuy voyage, and who
were glad to know that she and her tired
crew were at last 83fe in snug harbor.
From Cant. Chas. C. Park it was

The captain gives a graphic account
of the fury of the waves beating so vio-lentlj-
as to break down tne starboard
idri of the forward house, completely
gutting it of every berth and partition,
sweeping off the lockers and the top of
the forecastle, wrecking the cook's quar
ters and making general havoc. The
gale blew with unabated violence for
forty-eight hours, hen they repaired
damages as best they could and kept well
to the southeast, 'i'wo days after the
spoke the Britiaii bark Hoang Ho, which
kmdly furnished thorn a boat. The usual
weather prevailed on their way round
the Horn and up to Lat. 40 J N., when
they had heavy weather with occasional
fogs up to the Columbia river, which was
made on the 173d day ont from New
York.
On the LI'd inst., about nine in the
evening, while standing off shore, under
easy sail, a strong breeze from the south
west, a dcne fog prevailing, the captain
heard the whistle of a steamer to wind
ward. He kopt tho fog horn blowiug.and
in a few minutes saw the steamer's light
and showed torch light, but the steamer
was too near to change her course suffi
ciently to clear the shin, which she
struck forward, carrying away the bow
sprit, knight head, cutwater and all the
rigging attached. 'I he night was in
tensely dark. ind being in ignorance of
how much damage he had sustained,Cap-
taiu l-arK nailed the steamer and asked
for a boat, stating that his boats had
been lost in a previous gale. The master
of tho steamer answered that ho
would, in a minute, but did not do so, but
lay by all night. The next morning the
steamer came within hail and was asked
to tow the ship to Astoria as she was in
a dangerous condition. This was re
fused, but the muster said he would tele
graph to Astoria from Victoria for a tug
to be sent to the ship's assistance. The
captain found on examination that there
was no leak anywhere, but on account of
the dense fog'was unable to make the
land until the 2Cth. when the fog cleared
away, and at daylight made land. At
nine a. m. saw the tug Pioneer, which
placed a pilot on board.

Mr. D. H. Caswell is now taking a cen
sus of school district No. 1 for the pur
pose of ascertaining tho number of per
sons therein who are entitled to state
school money. An impression seems to
prevail among some that this will require
them to pay a school tax and to send
their children to school, and they are not
disposed to answer questions very free'.y.
This is a mistake. An apportionment of
school money is made once each year, or
oftener if deemed advisable, by the stale
board of education, among the several
counties in the state, in proportion to
the number of persons therein between
the aces of four and twenty years. This
canvas is being mado to get tho number
of parsons so entitled, and I trust all will
assist Mr. Caswell to make it full and
correct. J. O. BOZORTH,

Several important changes in the de

system in Portland aro reported to take
place soon. It was stated some days ago
that orders had been received vacating
on tho 1st of March the offices of general
passenger agent of tho O. R. & N. Co.,
rilled by E. P. Rogers, and merging it
with the general freight department un
der A. L. Stokes, with I. M. Chesbrough,
formerly chief clerk in the passenger de
partment, as chief clerk. All the force
with Mr. Stokes, heretofore in the traffic
department, will, it is said, go out to
morrow. E. P. Rogers, it is stated, will
take tha position of general passenger
aud freight agent of the Oregon and
California.
The tug Blalxly arrived at Port Town
send Sunday, witn Captain Bergman, his
wife, and crew of the wrecked burk Liz
zie .lfari. The vessel went ashoie on
a ledge on Vancouver's island, and ve y
quickly broke in two. One man, wno
was on the forward part, was carried
overboard by the falling spars, and swam
safely to .shore. The balance of the ship's
company were on the after house, which
wvu carried out by every receding wave.
After some hours it became wedged be
tween two rocks. The forward part
meantime had drifted inside the ledgo
and struck near them, fortunately, en
abling them to reach it and from that a
largo rock inside, from which they
junipsd and waded ashore, watching their
opportunity between waves. One seaman
was drowned in attempting to save his
clothes.
Work on the Oregon Pacific railroad,
betweon Corvallis laid Yaqnina bay, is
being renewed with much energy. The
conclusion is forced that now money, and
plenty of it, is behind the project. New
men have also taken charge. The con
pny has purchased the steamer Yaquina
and tug Favorite, and have a large
quantity of iron en ronte to the bay. All
this requires ready money. Where it is
coming from does not plainly appear.
Recent information points to the Chi
cago and Northwestern road as auditing
the accounts and sending out the new
men. The road being built is not a
valuably property in itself, but with im
portant connections may be mado so.
The bar at the mouth of the bay is said
to allow the passage of vessels drawing
twelve feet, aud a narrow ledge of rocks
is all that prevents a much greater depth
of water. The quiet manner in which
the work is being prosecuted indicates
rather more than the work itself.
The general superintendent of the
Western Union Telegraph Company for
the Pacific coast makes announcement
that an important reduction in through
and local rates will go into effect to
morrow. After that date the maximum
tariff between all points in the United
States, now 1.50, will be $L This will
be day and night rate, the latter beine
abolished, because it is found that while
the day business is very light night busi
ness is exceedingly hoavy. To equalize
the two the reduction has been deter
mined upon. The reduction in local
rates, however, concerns tho night as
woll as the day rate. The cut in tins in
stance is equal to about 33K per cent of
the now prevailing rates. The minimum
rate will continue to be 25 cents, as here
tofore, but the 30 and 40 cent rates are to
be reduced to 25 cent rates: the 75 cent
rate to CO cents, while the 50 cent rate
will continue unchanged. Night rates
are proportionately reduced. It will be
seen that these rates havo been made to
conform to the new maximum rata of 1,
which governs eastern business, but, un
like it, they are subject to reduction for
night messages. Rates between Califor
nia and Oregon and Washington terri
tory are excepted from these reductions,
for the reason that the company's lines
would be incapable of accommodating
tho increased business which would arise
from a lower tariff. A new line to Ore
gon is being constructed, and when that
is finished, which it is expected to be in
thirty or forty days, the reduction will
proably go into effect there also.
A serious accident occurred on the O.
R. & N. road about three miles west of
Blalock's yesterday morning says the
Standard of the 23th, but fortunately no
one was hurt. A boulder that would
weigh one hundred tons had rolled down
on the track, and in such a place as not
to be seen by the engineer until within a
few yards of it. Tho train being the
walla walla pnd Portland mail, came
dashing along in the night not appre
hending danger, and when rounding the
curve where the boulder lay, the head
light exposed the immovable barricade
only too late. The engine was promptly
rever&cu, uuu wnne tne engineer, unanes
Evans, still held his hand on the lever,
and the fireman, Robert Riley, was in tho
act of getting a scoop full of coal, the
engine struck with full force and was
totally wrecked. Hardly one portion
was left on another. Evans was found
on the ground with tho cab over him, but
was not injured much. Riley suffered
many bruises about tho head, body and
legs, and was thrown some distance. The
baggage and next car, which contained
passengers, were badlv wrecked, but no
one was injured. The passenger coaches
were full of people asleep, who were
j awakened by being thrown in all direc4
lions iu iue uira. vjreuit is duo JIT.
Evans, the engineer, for remaining at his
I ost wnen escape iroin death was mira
culous. The train wa3 finally brought
around the obstruction, and arrived in
this c'.ty at 10:30 last night. Mr. Riley
was taken to St. Vincent's hospital.
Concerning Mail Senrlce.
Editob Astoria?.:
Your weekly issue of the 22nd inst
prominently brings to the surface a long
endured and distressing grievance, which
undoubtedly calls for speedy redress, be
ing of superlative importance to the resi
dents of Astoria, as well as those now
densely studded in the several settlements
along tho banks of the route, the latter
of whom are at a much greater disadvan
tage than those of your rapidly rising
and enterprising city. Inasmuch there
being so much time uselessly lost to us,
owing to the great uncertainty as to the
precise hour the mail "arill arrive. It is
no unusual circumstance to have to hang
around wharves one, two or more hours,
and that in all sorts of of ten disagreeable
weather, many of us having come con
siderable distances. The only parties
who seem to profit by such disastrous
arrangements are the rye gents, whose
places are always tempting to enter in a
storm, and which are for the most part
the only inevitable. Twenty-five years
ago when there was only one inhabitant
for the ten or more that now is, we
could calculate with certainty to fif
teen minut3 of th3 mail arriving.
These were the days whon tha genial
Capt. Hoyt with his "Multnomah"
plowed the ever picturesque, proud flow
ing Columbia; but alas, the scene has
changed, and s 3 wnl it continue, ad infini
tum. Notwithstanding the business
trafic since then has greatly increased,
it ought to be home in mind that the pop
ulation has kept in proportion, and that
it is emphatically nocessa y for the busi
ness welfare of the community which is
visibly increasing, that a more satisfac
tory method of mail transit be without
further delay instituted, the circumstan
ce3 of the case equally demanding.
Moreover, taking all things into consid
eration, $G,900 is altogether inadequate
to furnish us with a mail transit worthy
ui mo uauic, auu wuiuu tue uusuibss in
terests of the country so woefullv stand
ia immediate need of. Yours ets
CATHLAMtrr.
Concerning the compensation, it may
be briefly stated that if tli6 O. R. & N.
Co., or anybody else will carry it for that
price, it is directly in the interest of tho
government to have it done at those
figures, or lower if possible. The schedule
time must be shortened ho that mnll will
arrive earlier and consequently prompter.
Of course, the better the service the more
it will cost. Capt. Scott's now boat may
help to solve the problem.
