The Columbicma duo from San Francisco this morning; the Stale sails. Do you know of a bigger flf teen cents worth than this paper for a week? At the annual business meeting of the Congregational church, the first of the year, Eev. W. S. Hamlin, the pastor, announced his resignation, to take effect three months from date. Mr. C. C. Cady has been appointed manager of the Astoria Telephone exchange, and yesterday relieved G. W Kucker of the cares "and responsi bilities of the position, greatly to the relief of the latter who asked some time ago that he be relieved. Favorable mention is made of es parto grass, which grows well on beach land, and which is extensively used in the manufacture of paper, baskets, cordage, etc. The Oregonian says it may serve to check shifting sands. Carry the news to Hennessey. Fanny C. Ferguson, wife of J. E. Ferguson, died at her residence yes terday morning in the 29th year of her age. Deceased had long been a sufferer from consumption. She leaves a large circle of sorrowing friends and acquaintances. The fu neral will be from Grace church nt two o'clock to-morrow afternoon. From San Francisco is telegraphed weather probabilities as to this region "cloudy; local rains." "What would we do without this information? No guessing, no surmise; as soon as we soo the report wo know right away that rain and cloudiness inaj be ex pected. But it must get very monot onous to the San Francisco office to telegraph the same thing right along. Might as well telegraph the whole thing in a bunch, a month at a time. It would be a dead sure thing. Yesterday Ciark Loughrey retired from the police force of this city. He has been chief of police for four years. Throughout his official career honesty and right were his chief characteristics. He wa3 just to all He never placed his foot on the down trodden or hit a man because he had a chance. Equal treatment of all, no discrimination, no favoritism. His aotions were open to the world, but no,w that he has given place to an other and retires to private life, the consciousness of fulfilled duly goe3 with him and those who know him best can truthfully say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." What would appear flattery to an official is but a just tribute to an honest and trustworthy man retiring from an of fice in -which he only knew the dic tates of duty and always did his best.

Councilmen and Fclloic Citizens: The dignity and honor which your partiality confered upon me two years aso. are now by your suffrages and with 1113 best wishes conferred upon my suc cessor. If Emerson is correct in his philoso phy, the obligations of the receiver equal the favors of the giver, and the anxieties and different duties pertaining to a public office are commensurate with the honor pertaining to it. Therefore while L appreciate with justifiable pride the popular favor which placed me in the Mayor chair with such a corapli menta y majority, it is with a feeling of sntislueiion that 1 transfer my official responsibilities to the Mayor elect. The administration of th city affairs just completed, like all other adminis trations has been approved by some and disapproved by others of our fellow citizens, and will on the whole compare favorably with preceding administra tions. The city government for the past two years has been supported by a tax of 1Yx mills on the dollar, without the issu ing of any bonds, which has never be fore been equalled for cheapness In the history of our city and is of ttsplt a good showing. The taxes have bpen collected with a small percentage of delinquency which demonstrates the efficiency of our city attorney. The receipts from the Police court for the last two years are onlv about one third what they were in 1832, and 1883. and had the couucilmen co-operated with me, a change for the better would have been made. Notwithstanding this burden the cash balance In the treasury !.- about the same as it was at the beginning of my offichi term. During the period the city charter has been changed by act of the legislature, and although some improved it still needs amending. This could have been done had it not have been lor some of our citizens prejudices, p.nd should have been done. Our administration has not urea a harmonious one at times, bat at present good order and good fooling prevails, and the Mayor's chair to-day Is a more pleasant and desirable one than it was two years ago to-day. And now, councilmen and fellow citi zens. 1 take my official leave of you, thanking you for all the courtesies shown me and assistance rendered me in the discharge of my duties. To all who have differed with me on questions of duty and expedience, I accord the virtue of sincerity and a de sire to do what was right and in turn, I claim for mj'self, from all, the justice of the same honest and generous opinions. ,I.V. HiwiE, Mayor. Upon conclusion of the address Councilmen Cooper and Trenohard were appointed a commitee to intro duce Mayor-elect J. C. Trnlliuger, and Councilmen Sovey and Cleveland appointed a committee to introduce Councilmen elect Sherman and Car rnthers. Councilman Cleveland moved that a vote of thanks be tendered the re tiring mayor, J. W. Hume, for the dignity, courtesy and efficiency he had ma lifested while presiding over tho deliberations of the council, which was unanimously carried. Conncilman Bergman moved a vote of thanks to the retiring councilmen, C. J. Trenchard and C. H. Cooper, for the faithful conscientious and able manner in which they had dis charged their duties for the term of three years; carired, unanimously. C. J. Trenchard made a few retiring remarks to tho effect that he had al ways tried to do his duty and consult the best interests of the citv. Mayor Trnllinger and Council men Sherman and Carruthers were then introduced and took their seats, after which the mayor read the fol- ing INAUGURAL ADDRE33: Astoria, Or., Jan. 1, tssn. To the Honorable the Common Council of the City of Astoria. Gentlemen: According to tho mages of my prede cessors and the requirements of'the city charter, it is incumbent upon me, as Mayor elect of the city of Astoria, to deliver to you my Inaugural address. Owing to our good fortune of location at the mouth of the great Columbia river where we have almost the year round a prevailing sea breeze and no swamp or marsh land, therefore no miasmatic air, we are therefore blessed with health, and our old men and women, our boys and girls are full of life, health and vigor. For that reason we are not com- fielled to hunt other places or countries n summer or winter for our health, for that reason we have our full time for our various avocations of life, our children to school, our merchants to their custom ers, our fisherman to his net, our machin ist iu msiaine aim urtii, our mill man to his saw and planer, our oil man to his fish heads, our tailor to his dude custom ers, our shoemaker to fit his customers with boots and shoes,, our cannery man with his late improved machinery putting up the fine Cninook salmon in the various forms of tins, beautifully labeled, for foreign as well as home markets thl9 great product reaching In value up Fo millions of dollars, as well as our lumber interests: not exceeded in any country for quality is our fine leather, the whole product produced here at Astoria. How happy ought the people be when they have all these blessings at their door. In their midst they have a first-class newspaper, with as good common schools as there are in any country, with churches represent ing most of "the Christian denominations in their midst, as well as theaters and other places of amusement the same as in larger cities. We have the advant ages of telegraph, telephone, telegraph Ore alarm, our city lighted with coal oil, gas and electric light; wc have daily lines of fast river steamers as well as regular lines of ocean steamers of the Qnest class plying almost dtdly, as well as large wheat ships coming and going daily. I do not wish to trespass to much upon your valuable time, but could still enumerate tho hundreds of other minor matters that might be spoken of. Just think of the difference when 1 came here ten years ago; you had seven hundred Inhabitants; you scarcely had a school house worthy of the name, true you had two churches, one grocer store and three dry goods stores; you had no line of xivcr steamers advertised to ruu to Astoria; the ocean steamers piled between Portland and .San Fran cisco did not land freight here, but Hurried on to Portland and then sent what little freight you received back to you in a few days, according to their convenience; you had no telegraph; you had a live newspaper; you had no tire department, no steam fire engines; you had no regular polico force; you had a town council; there was but one saw mill here, one of the ancient kind, uow you have three fine modern saw mills and box factories; you had two salmon canneries, you now have twenty seven; you now have about 8,000 people, and j'ou are in the most prosperous con dition of any town or city on the Pacific coast, wc have dally lines of fast river steamers that are palaces, with daily mails; with lines of ocean steamers to San Francisco, Portland, Pugct bound, British Celumbia: we have magnificent dry goods, book, fancy notion, drug, tin, Hardware and grocery stores, as well a3 Gne hotels, saloons, theaters and other places of amusement; the best ship and steamer docks and warehouses on the Pacific coast; we have the banner fire department, with two fine steam fire engines, with two fire companies and one excellent hook and ladder compauy, v. ell equipped; we have a well organ ized police force, all under the manage ment of a good city governraont and charter. Now what we want most, is the im provement of the mouth of the Colum bia river, so that ships of the largest class can come into the river in all stages of water and weather, with the splendid system of tugs now under tho management of Uapt. Ueorge i lavel, and the locks at the Cascades finished, and a proper portage at The Dalles, so that our commerce can go and come free from tho trammels of corporations, then railroads will be glad to seek our place for business. Gentlemen of the council, I would recommend first, strict and rigid econo my In all the departments ot city gov ernment. When vou find it nruaent deal with the fire department with a i liberal iianu, as tu? safety or life and. property greatly depends on the boys that give their time and risk their lives, ' health and happiness for the sake of I the good of their fellow citizens. The street and police department is where nearly ail our expense comes; tins is where the council should use their greatest care and economy. There is no reason why the city should not have material and service Just as cheaply as , others get theirs. " I hope we will have the best harmony 1 and fellowship in the next two year. ; I hope each member of the council will j bear well his part with his fellow coun-. oilmen in all the business difficulties of ' our administration. I will communi-l cate to the council from lime to time a . I learn the needs of the city. i Respectfully yours, J. C. Trulmnoei:. ! .Mayor of the City of Astoria.

SCHOONER CAKIJIK B. LAEF. The Captain and Two 3Iea Drowned The Teasel a Total "Wreck. Tho Deep Sea Fishing company's schooner was wrecked off the weather beach last Sunday, the 3rd inst. She had been to tho northward and was heading down tho coast when the cross currents that have proved fatal to so many vessels in that vioinity struck her and carried her in shore, the schooner striking on Crab island, a small spit of sand visible only at low water, about ten miles north of Cape Hancock and two miles south of Loomis's. Immediately upon her striking, a heavy sea washed clear over her, and Capt. Exon and three of his crew of four men took to a small boat, one of the men refusing to leave the vessel. The boat had not got far when it struck a sand bar in shallow water and capsized in deep water toward tho shore. Capt. Exon, the mate Jamison, and the cook, a Chinaman, were drowned; the fourth man reached shore about the same time as the capsized boat. Word was at once sent to Capt. Al. Harris at tho Cape, and at midnihgfc he learned of the disaster. Ho and his crew immediately started for the scene of the wreck, arriving there at an early hour ye3terday morning. Af ter most gallant exertion on the part of Capt. Harris and his crew they stis ceeded in saving tho man who had staid in the vessel. They got back to the Cape yesterday morning about ten o'clock. A dispatch from the Capo at 1030 says tho crew of five men started ashore; tho boat capsized and the captain, mate and Chinese cook were drewned: the rest succeeded in get ting back to tho schooner which had drifted to whero they were taken off by Capt. Harris and his crew. As will be seen tho accounts vary, somewhat, but the sad fact in the main is the loss of life and the schoon er. When left, the hold was full of water, the sea breaking over, and, doubtless, by this time she has disap peared. Tho Carrie Ji. Lake was brought around from the Sound by Capt. Ex on about two months ago for the Deep Sea Fishing Co., an organiza tion incorporated last fall for the purpose of fishing off the mouth of the Columbia river and adjacent coast Sho was a small vessel of sixty-seven ton3 burthen, fully insured. It was thought at tho time that a steam vessel would bo productive of better results, as tho ooast along Shoalwater bay has many times ere this proved the graveyard of more pretentious craft. This makes the fifth wreck in that vicinity in a little over four yeare, and the first in which any loss of life resulted.
