A death watch has been placed over J. W. Murray in tho Portland jail, who will be hanged next Friday for the murder of Alfred Ycnkc, unless Gov. Moody com mutes his sentence to imprisonment for life. Tho Oregonian is doing good work in holding up to public detestation that rid iculous law which allows a deduction of indebtedness and makes it profitable for a man in this state to be in debt or swear that he is. Judge Dcady has decided that tho city of Portland, though empowered to "li cense and regulate laundries." has not tho power to impose a f eo of 5 per quar tor, as that sum is more than necessary to meet the cost of issuing liconces and therefore becomes a tax for raising reve nue.

Under tho most adverse circumstances the proprietor of the Portland News has made that journal a first-clas3 newspaper and in saying that its news items are of ten transferred to these columns without hesitation as to their authenticity, we pay it as high a compliment as it is pos sible for a careful newspaper to bestow upon a contemporary. The "Historic pioture," to which Mrs. A. S. Duniway has devoted so much timo during tho past year, has been completed by tho Chicago" lithographers, and ad vance copies were received on tho 1st inst.

It is 26x42 inches, neatly designed, and finely lithographed, and is certainly a magnificent picture. It is expected that all subscribers to it can be supplied with in the next ten days or two weeks. A copy, handsomely f raiued, was presented to tho state senate on Tuesday by Mr. Siglin on behalf of the Oregon woman suffrage association, and accepted with a vote of thanks. COXCERMNG CEDAR STREET. Ed. Astekian: In the general excitement and scramble to rush into print about the city charter amendments, ect.. it seems to me that matters of as much and possibly more importance are being overlooked for in stance the condition of Cedar street. "When Mr. Hennessy's street railway scheme collapsed some timo ago the work of preparing tho street above named for the track was partly done only, and since that time nothing has been done. The street is in a dangerous condition, be sides being too narrow as it now is to ac commodate the traffic with its present volume, to say nothing of the great in crease which tho opening of the spring trade will make. Would it not bo well for tho city council hy ordinance to ap propriate ajsufflcient sum to finish the work as far as .tho street is cut in the manner begun by Mr. Hennessy's en gineer. This could be done probably as cheaply by the city as it could by a "rail way company, and should bo done on the condition that the city be reimbursed by whoever builds the street railway a work which will no doubt be done as soon as necessary preliminaries can bo arranged in the way of "gettiufi a new franchise at least so I understand. Certainly something in tho way of im proving tho street ought to be done and that, too, right away, and tho above is respectfully submitted as one way by which the end can be attained and with out cost (except for a short timo) to tho city. If any one else will suggest a bet ter plan wo will "acknowledge tho corn," but something ought to be done. Very truly, Astoxia. ValcntiueH.

Pierre Bronsdon Has Secured the Franchise. The fourth act in tho play of "The As toria Street Railway; or, tho Connecting Link: A talo of Scow Bay," is now on the stage, some of tho actors being in San Francisco and some in Astoria. The curtain rose on the present comedy last summer when the Astoria street rail way company was organized, and after a brief existence sold its franchise or its rights whatever they were to F. P. Hen nessy, a pleasant spoken gentlGman from across the sea, who, with his "associates," constituted the company that purely as a matter of benevolence was going to build a street railway from upper town down the roadway and Squemoqua street and out Concomly to Trullinger's mill and from there the Lord knows where. The evi dent inability on Mr. Hennessy's part to make his promises and performances con nect in a manner satisfactory to those who took stock in him, caused tbe scheme to collapse, and nothing remains in Astoria to remind one of the existence of Mr. H. bei'ond a fragrant memory, an uptorn roadway and sundry book accounts wherein tho debits outvote the credits. Among others who took hold in good faith was Pierre Bronsdon, a man of con siderable experience and the builder of the Portland street railway. After work ing a month for nothing and paying his board, ho returned to the metropolis and a short timo ago "went belov. "What means he used to coax the coy "Mr. Hen uessy to surrender or make over the franchise is not to be profaned by publi publi cateon: a telegram received last evening says: "Have secured tho franchise in my own name. P. Broksdok.'" A company was recently formed here to put the road throng and place it in operation this season. The question of the forfeiture of the franchise comes up next Tuesday night. It is the opinion of those who by virtue of 'their positions ought to know that tho city cannot for feit the franchise. Just how tho play is going to end is hard to tell. Tho fifth act will be "on" next Tuesday night when fnrther developments may be looked for. A CARD FROM J. II. I). (JIUY. AsToniA, Feb. , lS&J. Editok Astebian: For tho information of Mr. J. G. Char ters, chief engineer of tho Astoria fire de partment, and others concerned I will state that Benton street has nover been opened farther toward the river than tho north line of Concomly street. Several years a5o I applied (o tho city council and received porraission to build a wharf in front of lots 1 and 2, block 8, and also to build tho cast half of Benton strept adjoining said .property, which street cost me 331.70. Tho parties owning the opposite properly adjoining tho west half of Benton street have never built any street. I now have and always havo had on my wharf not less than two traps, where a fire engine can get water, that I cut and prepared at my own expense, and always intend to keep an opening to tho front of the wharf sufficient for an engine to get there to take water. That half of Benton street and mv wharf was built and paid for by me. I would call the attention of tho chief engineer and others in authority (who have soveral times expressed their minds quito freely about what I should do), to the shameful condition of Main street from ono end to tho other; to tho end of Cass etreet, half tho time blockaded with wood or lumber; to the crossings at tho ends of Hamilton, Olney, "West Ninth; the crossing at the intersection of "Water and "West Sixth streets. These crossings have been paid for out of the city treasury but are prin cipally used by one or two pets and blockaded at their pleasure. Mr. Charters is quite right about the great value of a few moments' time at tbe commencement of a fire, and if our model city council would expend the ex tra ono or two thousand dollars yearly paid their superior city officials, in build ing one or two cisterns, our city would have much better protection and the fire companies can locate their engines at any stage of tide without getting the suction full of mud, then up suction and move engino and lino of hose, besides running away from tho fire and laying the hose back over the samo route, as was the case at the fire on the evening of the 3rd. very respectfully, J.

A court of inquiry into tho cause3 which occasioned tho recent fatality on board the British bark Embleton, was held here last Monday and Tuesday be fore Mr. P. L. Cherry, British vice-consul at this port; Capts. Sterling of the Monmoutlishirc and Sember of tho 2Vr- shire. It will bo remembered that two vessels, tho Star of Erin and the Emble ton both sailed from Acapulco about the same timo bound for tho Columbia riven and that the crews of both vessels had a dreadful experience. Capt. Coulter and six men on board tho Star of Erin died of a fever contracted at Acapulco, and that vessel put into San Francisco; five of the crew of the Embleton died from the same distressing cause. Alone and almost single-handed Capt. Paynton struggled in a manful effort to minister to Iho wants of his men and bring his vessel to the port where she was bound. Surrounded by the dead and dying, on a wintry sea, himself suffering from the same complaint that laid the crew corpses at his feet he held up with su perhuman effort, and not till safe in port did he relax the strain that was as suc cessful as any effort of mortal man could be and which has rarely been equaled in tho history of heroic endurance on this coast. Having brought his vessel safely into port he at once loaded for tho port of discharge to which he now goes, but de siring to havo a complete inquiry into charges that had been brought against him, a naval court of inquiry was con vened. The official text of the report has been obtained from Mr. S. S. Smith, clerk of the court, and is as follews: "The court finds that the British bark Embleton left Peuarth with a cargo of coals for Acapulco; that during that pas sago tho health of the crew was good; we find also the cargo was discharged by the crew without the least help from tho shore on account of sickness among the crew; also that tho most of the crew contracted the Mexican coast fever whilo in port, medical attendance being had from the shore, most of the sick being convalescent when tho ship left port; that for nearly a month from leaving Acapulco the weather was mild and pleasant when no particular hardship was experienced; that for fifteen days afterward tho weather was exceedingly boisterous and bitterly cold; that during this timo tho deaths and hardships oc curred." "Tho court finds tho crew contracted the fever from the unhealthy port aggra vated by the excessive heat, use of fruit and the sleeping of tho crew on deck, this ngainst the master's orders. They having to discharge the coals, kept the men so dirty that they made no great effort afterward to keep themselves clean." "During the fine mild weather experi enced on leaving Acapulco the master should in our opinion havo taken greater precaution in getting the men into a stronger condition by strict discipline in seeing that tho crew kept themselves per sonally clean and more attention shown to their food so that they might gain strength by it as he should havo reason ably expected to have to encounter stormy weather in such a high latitude as this port." "That on encountering the cold stormy weather most of the men in their weak state, just coming out of warm weather, succumbed to tbe cold and took to their bunks, leaving but seven nblo men to handle the ship, including the master, mate and steward, that in tho opinion of tho court that tho so-called brutality was tho master using his best endeavors to get some of tho men on the sick list to come on deck and take some share of tho of the work so as to reliovo the others. That we believe this was necessary under the circumstances, tho ship being "very short handed and in a critical position. That in our opinion tho deaths are from the causes mentioned in the official log." "The cook, in our opinion, might with out great hardship have attended to du ties in a better manner, as he Was but slightly ill being ready to be up in a any or two aner getting into nospitai, and a great deal of tho neglect in atten tion during tho cold weather can be at tributed to him, the steward being fully employed assisting and doing his duty." "Tho court has pleasure in returning" the master, Paul James Paynter, his certifi cate, exonerating him from blame in the late disastrous passago from Acapulco to this port and commending him for his success in bringing the ship into port under such trying circumstances. Tho court also returns the certificate of Thos. Askew, mate, with a commenda tion of tho aid given the master." Capt. Stiblino, 2fonmoullishire. Capt. Sembeb, Perthshire. S.S.Ssirrn, Clerk. It is thought by many that Capt. Payn ton is entitled to handsomo compensa tion from the insurance companies. Though fever stricken and at death's door, left with but two men and two boys on a vessel that full handed require" twenty-two men, he fought tho fever that was burning his own life away, and with a steadfastness that deserved tho success he won, he got safely to this port. Of the assistance of those at the capo and in this city mention has heretofore been made, but simple justice to a brnvo man demands that Capt. Paynton be given commendation for the part ho played in that tremendous drama. To his courapo and steadfastness the owners are indebted for the preservation of the vessel. Buclilcus Arnira Salrc.

MARGARET SULL1TAS. The Leading Woman Journalist of America. Mrs. Margaret Sullivan, the wife of Alexander Sullivan. late president of the Irish land league, is undoubtedly tho ablest woman journalist America has produced, considering journalism in the light of tho varied and universal work of the daily newspaper. Mrs. Mary Clem mer, as a correspondent to a weekly paper, and confining herself usually to the political world, hardly entered into compc-tion with the work exacted of n woman who does her daily work in the editorial rooms of a daily newspaper. Mrs. Sullivan is now tho leading writer on the staff of the Chicago Herald, a Eaper growing rapidly in power and in uence. Of her entrance into jour nalism a correspondent writes: It was during the fall of 1870, 1 think, that she came one mornjng to the office of the Etcniny Post, when I was in charge during the absence of its editor in Eu rope. She brought a letter merely iutro ding her as Miss Margaret Buchanan. "1 would like a regular position on the Post," she said. "There are none,"' I answered. "News papers properly conducted never have va cancies. The staff is the result of evolu tion." "I want to get in the line of evolution." she suggested. "What can you do?' I asked. "Any thing, that needs to be done, I think." she answered, with a curious com bination of perfect modesty and utter self-confidence. "Havo you ever been on a newspaper?" "No, never; though I Iipvo written a little for newspapers." I was amused by her nonchalant ambi tion, which seemed audacity, and when she announced that sho was recently from school in Detroit, I said. "Well, there's a desk and pens yonder; write what you Lplease," and turned to my work. She was 2L or 22 years old, was neatly and plainly dressed and had a shock of wavy yellow hair hanging about her shoulders. In twenty minutes sho brought to mo an article .headed, "Tho Michigan Schism,' treating of a serious breach in tho Re publican party on account of a bolt against the regular Republican candidate. It was written with tho off-hand vigor of an experienced editor and put very con cisely the salient points of tho case not before published. It appeared as an edi torial that samo evening. Next day sho appaared earlv, smilingly said: "Good morning," hung up her bon net and shawl on a convenient nail and resumed her desk without a word. In half an hour she brought mean articlo entitled "The Latest Tariff Dodge," treating tho subject from a free-trade point of view. It was a strong and timo ly article on pig-iron, and was followed by others on kindred topics. Sho proved not only proficient in French Belles-lettres and acquainted with German, but she was well up in Latin, Greek and mathematics, and was a thoughtful stu dent of those financial and commercial questions which women seldom touch Sho could write a belter article on the silver question, or tho internal revenue, or our trado with Brazil than on any of tho questions that ordinarily engross the attention of women, though she was thoroughly feminine both in appearance and character. She stayed on the paper three years, her salary growing from 12 a week to 45. She manifested an adap tability, a quickness of perception and keenness of wit, a wide raugo of informa tion, the ability to tell with spirit what sho knew on a given point, and, above all, u timeliness and readiness that mado her a valuable workman. Mrs. Sullivan was for some years dra matic and musical critic on tho Chicago Times in its great days, and held at one timo tho important place of night editor. No other woman journalist has ever held so responsible a position on the daily press. Eastern PajKr. Professional Exhibitor; of the Elephant. Standing near tho desk of the Fifth Avenue hotel a day or two since, I saw a neatly dressed, gentlemanly man step up to the clerk and say: "I want to see tho town and am a stranger stopping here with you." The clerk without re plying, turned and whistled for a bell boy. "CallM ,' said the clerk. In a moment a large, good looking man, as well dressed as any gentleman on the street, appeared. Tho clerk introduced him to tho gentleman who wanted to see the sights of the great city, "Whatever this man does is all right' said tho clerk to him. "He is our man and ho knows the ropes.' The two stepped aside, talk ing in n subdued tone for a moment, and they parted to meet again later. The next morning I saw the two men in tho bar room drinking seltzer water. They both looked as though they had made a night of it. All the great hotels keep good looking, well informed men to show a stranger around.

The English bark Montgomery Castle, arrived in yesterday forty-five days from Autofogosto. Sho was lately trans formed into n bark by the removal of the yards from her mizzenmast, and in form and general appearance differs little from the hundred English vessels that yearly lie hero to load wheat and flour for the far offEnglish shore. But tho Mont gomery Castle is of more than passing in terest to Astorians, for sho is tho first iron ship that ever entered the Columbia rivor. It was in the year 1870, and at tho time she was a wonder. People canio from Clatsop plains and other parts of the county, and when she went to Port land they'thronged from all parts to see the ship built of iron that had come into the Columbia river. The exact date of her entry is not attainable. E. A. Noyes, the O. It. &N. Co.'s agent, says that he crossed the bar on July Stb, 1870, and she was lying here then at what was known as tho old Pacific dock. Capt. Phil. John son piloted her to Portland, where she lay some time, sailing from here, wheat laden, in December of that year. She lies in the stream aliovc the city and is an object of interest.
