Hume yesterday bought Wm. Hume's Astoria caunerv prop erty, paying $30,000 therefor. Mr. Hume has a fine property and will enter into active operations next sea son. Arrangements are being made for a foot race to be run Saturday next between two and five r. m., for $100 a side between Jno. Eaton and Jas. Day. Considerable interest is mani fested in the result.

One of the funniest things in print for sometime is a "Washington dis patch to the Minneapolis Tribune saying that the editor of the Orujo nian was the man that backed E. R. Dawno for the Alaska judgeship, and that it was to him tbe famous letter of reproof was written by President Cleveland. A. M. Twombly received a telegram last evening conveying tbe sad intel ligence of tbe death of his father, K. T. Twombly, at Ft Worth, Texas on the 14th inst. Deceased was a na tive of the state of Maine, and had for several years been a resident of Ft Worth. Ho was in the 73rd year of his age. Begarding a book entitled "Interi or World," a romance tending to show that the world is hollow, the local philosopher of the Oregonlan says it may be a correct theory, but in these hard times a man is more in terested in the constantly recurring vacuum in his stomao-h." If a man can keep his stomach comfortably filled he need not care if the world is as hollow as a drum. The Chinese have been having a corrobborrj for tbe last two or three days over tbe arriv;il of some of their sisters and cousins and uncles and aunts from Seattle, Tacoma and other foreign parts. Last night Won Lung became enraged over the alleged un fairness of Wat Ho in a game of chance and skill, and carved a piece of Wat Ho's groin with a fierce look ing blade. Won Lung was arrested and put in tbe county jail. The postmaster-general has decided that the department is under no ob ligation to deliver mail thrown into its box by Wells, Fargo hereafter. They have canceled their stamp, and postmasters have been requested to refuse such matter. It appears that it has been the practice of the ex press company to transport letters as far as their lines extend, and then place them in tbe United States mail for delivery, where the points of des tination is beyond the limits of their own service. The comic operetta of "Penelope; or the Milkman's bride," will be pre sented at Liberty Hall, next Tuesday evening, the 20th inst, by some of tbe best musical talent of Astoria. The preparations for the rendition of the opera have been long and elabor ate, the music is bright and spark ling, the plot delightfully humorous and. tbe performance promises to be a source of enjoyment The box sheet will be open at Griffin fc Keed's City book store to-morrow mornrng. Reserved seats fifty cents. Some doubt being expressed as to the correctness of TnE Astokiax's statements yesterday regarding the Ohio election, the most authentic source was telegraphed to yesterday from tbis office. The following is tbe answer received: "Foraker un doubtedly elected: legislature close and in doubt" The Astoriax, like any other newspaper, is liable to be mistaken in its beliefs or in its ex pression of independent opinion, but it makes no misstatements as to facts. In tbis regard it furnishes a contrast to some of its critics. TEttSOXAL. W. T. Boss is in the city. J. W. Gearhart returned home yes terday. X. Osburn, of Skipanou, was in tbe city yesterday. J. J.

Morrison, came with the emigrant party of 1841 and settled on Clatsop plains in January of the fol lowing year, and has lived on the same farm from that lime since. When Mr. M. settled here, says the Northwestern Farmer and Dairy man, be met several old Indians who saw Lewis and Clarke at the time these explorers were in this part of the country. From the accounts of Lewis and Clarke, a largo Indian population lived on the plains and in the country adjacent, consisting of representatives of many tribes. In several localities, notably on Mr. Morrison's place, and also near tbe Seaside bouse there are found de posits of clam shells with a slight in termixture of soil, sometimes several rods in extent and two to four feet or more in depth. These deposits are sometimes found several hundred yards from tbe ocean beach. It is a matter of conjecture whether these deposits are natural accretions from clam beds that may at one time have existed there, or were carried by In dians with clams to their villages, and afterwards thrown in beans outside their wigwams. The latter supposi tion is most likely the true one, as human bones have also been recently found imbedded in the beds of shells. At the time Mr.M. went to tbe plains to settle, N. A. Ebennan. W. W. Ray mond and Hon. Tuo. Hobson, now collector of customs, being about tbe onlv white men there. Mr. Raymond who came over the Columbia river ' bar in 1810 in the ship Jmushuuv, was at Salem two years, and while there had charge ol the construction of the first saw mill at that place. The following year, 1841, grist mill attachments and apparatus were add ed to tbe mill. The burrs used were small being only sixteen inches in di ameter aud were ruu almost con stantly night and day to meet the re quirements of tbe settlers. In 1S12 Mr. Raymond went to Clatsop plains and built tbe first frame bouse built tbere, of lumber bought of the Hud son Bay company at Vancouver, and brought down the Columbia river on an outward bound vessel, and thrown overboard some distauce above tbe bar and picked np by Indians in their canoes and taken ashore. A cart made in Salem, by J. L. Parrisb was received by tbe same vcssl" bringing tbe lumber, and together with a horse brought down the Columbia river in a bateau, and the first one on the tbe plains, was used in hauling the material for tbe house, several miles down the beach, and a short distance inland to the building apot located on the place now belonging to John Loomis but first taken, or at least a portion of it for tbe Methodist mis sion, with the object of establishing a Mission for tbe benefit of tbe Clat sops, Cbinooks, Tillamooka, and Ne halems, either living on the plains or at times making that country their rendezvous. Mr. Raymond is still living on the plains, about one-half mile from the site of tbe mission building of which about tbe only relic now left is some ceiling boards now in use in Mr. Loomis' dwelling bouse. Solomon Smith, now deceased, set tled on the plains at an early day taking as bis wife a Clatsop Indian maiden by the name of Sylyast Gobi wa, now a very aged woman. Mr. Smith came from Boston in 1S32 overland, with the Capt N. Wyetb trading expedition, and on arrival in Oregon, first went to tbe Willamette vallev, remaining tbere several years. W. V. Raymond states that Mr. Smitb'togetber with Ewiug Young, built the first sawmill in the Willam ette valley, locating it at or near the Cbebalem creek, in the country near ly opposite Chumpoeg. Mr, Smith is said to have brought the first cattle to tbe Clatsop plains, bringing them from tbe Willamette valley, and tak ing them into the country by way of what is now known as the Grande Ronde agency or district thence on through Tillamook to the coast aud following that northward. Mrs. Smith is still living on tbe old home stead near her son, Silas B. Smith, an intelligent man now engaged in dairy ing and stock raising on the plains. Mrs. Smith, her son Silas acting as interpreter, related a number of m teresting things concerning the Clat sop country, and its settlement by the aborigines, particularly the tribe of Clatsops. The coming of tbe tribe to the plains, and whence these peo ple came is only a matter of tradition. The tradition is that Tablipas, a great and superior being, yet inferior to Ecarni, by which name the Great Spirit, or Supremest being ias ever known among them, brought tbe tribe of tbe Clatsops over to their beauti ful billowy plains, aud said to them. "Here I give you tbis country, KshlaUsup." But Tablipas did not stop merely with the gift to them of the country, bnt he went further and taught the Indians bow to bunt, to fish, to make canoes, and cross the waters, and also taught them bow to weave nets, and bow to make fire hf rubbing stioks together, and in fine, taught them how to live. Tbe term "Clatsop," the spelling "Kslrtattiup") above given being very near to tbe sound of tbe word as spelled except that the aspirate sound of tbe Greek letter corresponding to Iv more nearly represents the sound of the initial letter. The term Ksblat- sup is pronounced with a longer pause than usual between the sylla bles almost as two words. The aged Indian woman Mrs. Smith, says that the word Kshlatsup is the Indian name undefiled, and was handed down from father to son from gener ation to generation, as the name by which that part of the country was known. She says that a long time ago the main land on the south side at the mouth of the Columbia river extended out in a wide strip to or near to a sand island, and that this stretch of ground was covered with trees. An Indian burying ground ex isted on one part of it. That in, timo tbis ground washed away, destroying the resting places of the dead, to tbe great lamentations of the living. That a long time ago these plains themselves, particularly toward the northern end, extended farther out to sea than now, that of the five main high billowy ridges of land ex tending through the plains and along the sea one only remains Observations within recent years are evidence of inroads by the sea on the outside of the spit Mr. Raymond says that when he first came to the plains, a person several miles south of the mouth of the Columbia river, and looking north along the beach was unable to see Cape Hancock on account of the shore trending much further seaward than at present, and covered with trees. Tablipas the superior being who ac cording to tbe belief of the Indians, brought them hither and gave them the country, was a being who while watching over them was always sure to punish the bad, as well as to re ward tbe good Indians, that in punishing the wicked Indians they were sometimes changed into inani mate objects. According to Indian tradition or mythology, the Till amook rock with its smaller attend ant rocks at times peering above tbe waves shoreward from the main rock are cited as an iustanco of the punish ment of a wicked and presumptions Indian who with his family disregard ing tbe teachings of Tablipas, pre sumed and essayed to wade the mighty river of the deep, and were by Tab lipas changed into stone, standing through ages as monuments of their punishment, and as a warning to others not to try to abrogate them selves superior powers. Pillar rock on the lower Columbia, and Maiden rock, standing in tbe waters of the Columbia off the Chinook Point, it is said are cited by tradition, as result ing from Tablipas' manifestations of anger in tbo latter case against an Indian maiden for bathing in too public a manner, before the end of the period during which ablutions were to be performed with a certain degree of privacy an d in the former against a warrior who arrogant and presumptions, disregarding the cus toms or bis forefathers in the use of canoes in their journeyings over the deep waters of the Columbia, at tempted to ford by wading and was changed to stone. DROWXr.5) AT UPPER TOWN. Jno. Emerson was drowned at up per Astoria about half past fivo yes terday afternoon under peculiar cir cumstances. He wa,s standing with three or four other men on the dock of tbe Fishermen's Packing Co.'s premises when some one called to him that his boat was loose. The boat was only a few yards from shore and the wind was setting it in. There were other boats close by any one of which could havo been apparently used, bnt he ran to the side of the dock aud made a jump, intending to light in his boat and bring it ashore. He missed the boat and fell in the water. He rose and shouted for help, but before assistance could reach him he was drowned. He leaves a wife and two children. Two brothers live in the vicinity of his place near Al derbrook. He was about 35 years of age. Tbe body bad not been recov ered last evening. Rirthd.iv Party. When C. C. Uiziuger went as usual to the baud room of Cashing Cornet band last evening to practice, be was surprised to find no light, and everything apparently still and de serted. He was still more surprised when, at a given signal, the room was flooded with light disclosing tbe en tire band standing around a well filled table on which was a hand somely served supper. Tbe boys bad taken tbis occasion of marking their appreciation of their band leader on his 30th birthday, and the surprise was complete. A large party of la dies and gentlemen were present and a very pleasant evening was spent by tbe band and their invited guests. Fishermen's Boat Rare.

The porto is awaiting the final reply of the powers before taking decisive astion. A portion of the cabinet recommend recognition of the Bulgarian union; others are of tbe opinion that Greece and Servia will remain tranquil if the union is not recognized. The mili t ary party, -viewing the silence of the powers, assign that they are unagreed as to what course to pursue. They urge that Bulgaria be invaded; that the great Balkans be occupied; that the Bulgarian town of Widda be giv en to Servia. in order to weaken Bulgaria and conciliate Servia, and that the districts of Hermaub, Haskauli and Pomakbe seized as war indemnity. The sultan hesitates between these divergent counsels, leaning rather to a policy of concili ation. Meanwhile military prepara tions are unabated. Krupp has been urged to hasten the delivery of guns, payment of which has been guaran teed. Everything indicates an early invasion of Bulgaria. In leading.Turkish circles the opin ion is expressed that a majority of tho powers are inclined to refuse to recognize the Bulgarian union, as they consider that that course would be at least dangerous to European peace. The Marquis do Noailles, French ambassador, and Herr von Kadowitz, German ambassador, ex press astonishment that the Turkish government did not send troops to eastern Boumelia at the beginning of the trouble. Other foreign ministers are less outspoken. Great activity prevails in military circles throughout Turkey. Troops are being hastily armed and. equipped for immediate service. The sultan has determined to fight against further dismemberment of Turkey, and large bodies of troops are being rapidly concentrated on the frontier at strat egical points, within easy marching distance of Bulgaria. Grecian and Servian troops, horses and field guns are being dispatched to the front night and day. The Moslems are enthusiastic, and volunteering in large numbers. A conspiracy has been discovered at tho palace which has led to the exile of Said Pasha, ex grand vizier. Count Corti, tho Italian ambassa dor, presided at tbe Boumelian con ference to-day. The ambassadors sent their respective dragomans to in form the porte that they had agreed to condemn the violation of the Ber lin treaty by the union of Boumelia and Bulgaria, and they approved the pacific attitndo of the porte. Sir H. D. Wolff, special British en voy to Turkey and Egypt, is about to leave Constantinople with six Turkish delegates, to open an investigation at Cairo. They will aim at civil, mili tary aud financial reform. Loxdok, Oct It The hopes enter tained last night of a peaceful settle ment of the Boumelian question have been shattered this morning by re ceipt of a dispatch from Constantino ple, stating that the conference has formally declared that tho porte has disavowed tho Bulgaria-Boumelia union. Further news is awaited with considerable anxiety. It is reported that Kiug Milan of Servia, has informed the powers that he must either go to war or abdicate bis throne, and that he bas decided to go to war. He bas prepared a manifesto to his army, which it is ex peeled will be issued to-morrow. He Knew the Me.v.enser. We bear of a funny iueideut wit nessed on tho street yesterday. One of the boys of tho "immediate deliv ery system" had a letter, and hap pened to see tho person to whom it was addressed just down the street The man spied the messenger at the same time. But it so happens that before bis engagement to "run and deliver" for ijncle Snm the "messen ger had been carrying around tbe lit tle please call aud settle docu ments for a well known money lend er here, aud the fellows who borrow money know him. Well, when the man to whom the letter was to bo de livered saw the messenger he broke off down tbe street and the young ster after him. It was amusing to those who saw it and knew how to account for it Oregon Ian, 15. Hard Times. While money is close, wages and prices low, expenses should be cut down m every household.

Shaw, better known as "Josh Billings," died here to-day at the Hotel del Monte, from a stroke of apoplexy. De ceased was born in Lanesborough, Mass., and was aged 67 years. He recently paid a visit to the Pacific coast for his health. In the course of his stay at various places he de livered a number of lectures. The body has been embalmed, and will be sent east. About 9:45 this morning Dr. Heintz was summoned to the Hotel del Monte to attend "Josh Billings," who was sitting in a chair in the vesti bule, apparently enjoying the be3t of health. When the physician arrived he complained of a severe pain in the chest, and remarked: "My doctors east ordered rest of brain," and added, throwing back bis long hair, "but you can see I do not have to work my brain for a simple lecture; it came spontaneously." While he was talking he suddenly threw his hands over his head, and fell back wards unconscious. He was carried to his room, and at the end of three minutes life was extinct. His wife, who accompanied him on his trip to the Pacific coast, was with him dur ing the last moments. The face has retained a perfectly natural expression and bears no indication of pain. He was to have lectured here Friday for tho benefit of the Good Templars. At the hotel he had made himself a general favorite by his good-natured ways. DEATH OF CAPT. JOHN WOLF. Shortly before 12 o'clock last night Capt John Wolf, tho veteran steam boatman, died at his residence on tho corner of North Eighth andB streets. Ho had been ill for about six weeks with a complication of heart disease and indigestion, but seemed to be improving a week ago. Three days ago he became weaker, and while it was feared he could never recover, his death was not expected so soon. The end was very peaceful and ap parently without pain. Capt Wolf reached his 64th year on the 21st of last April. He had been in steamboat service on the Willam ette and Columbia for tbirty-threo years, most of tho time between Port land and the Cascades. He was the oldest officer in tho O. S. N. and O. R. & N. company's river service, and no master was more careful or po- sessed more skill. Until the railroad superseded tho steamboat, tho entire traveling public knew the quiet, steady captain, and a great many oiu resiuents wnen tneir eyes eaten tho heading of this item will feel a sort of personal loss in tho death of this good and honest man. He leaves a wife and three daughters, one of them married to Mr. John Klosterman, the other two single: Financially, the family is left in comfortable circum stances. Oreyoman,15. m m A Woman's Wit. Many of the first settlers of Illinois were rude in speech and rough in manner. Money was "scarce with them, and service was paid for in produce. Governor B illustrated these incidents of frontier life by the following anecdote : One day there came to his office a young man accompanied by a young woman. "Be you the squire?" asked tho manly vouth. "Yes; sir." "Can you tie tbe knot for us right away?" "Yes, sir." "How much do you charge?" "One dollar is the legal fee, sir." "Will you take your fee in bees wax?" . "Yes, if you can't pay tbe cash." "Well, go ahead and tie the knot, and I'll fetch in the wax." "No," said the 'squire, thinking there was a good chance for a little fun; "bring in the beeswax first, and then I'll marry you." Reluctantly tho youth went out to where was hitched the horse upon which, Darby and Jean fashion, they had ridden, and brought the wax in s sack. On being weighed its value was found to be only sixty cents. "Wal," said tho anxious groom, "tio the knot and I'll fetch more wax next week." "No, sir, I don't trust; that is against the rules of this office." "Slowly the disappointed youth turned to go out, saying, "Come, Sal, let's go." "I say, mister," answered Sal, with a woman's wit, "can't you marry us as far as the wax will co?" "Yes, I can and will," replied tho 'squire, laughing; and he did. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
