CONCERNING TUE "CORWIN."
The revenue cutter Corwin, which
has been iu the river for the past
week, yesterday received telegraphic
orders from Washington to return to
San Francisco, in answer to a tele
gram for instructions sent from here
to Washington by Capt. Ilealy last
Friday afternoon.
A few remarks are iu order. The
Corwin was ordered north from San
Francisco on a cruise about two
weeks ago. There is very little for
her to do in San Francisco nothing
in fact and to retain her with three
others who have a little to keep them
moving, an order was obtained some
time ago placing the Corwin at the
service of the San Francisco post of
fice department, rather thin, but yet
it served every purpose.
The Corwin was built on the Co
lumbia, intended for this service, by
right belongs here and work could
be found for her. On his arrival
here Capt. Ilealy reported to Collect
or Hobson -and further on to Collect
or Shurtleff at Portland. There ap
pearing no effort to regain or retain
the presence of the cutter, she goes
back.
The necessity of such a branch of
govermental service is now even
greater on the lower Columbia and
adjacent coast than it was at the time
the Corwin was built for use in these
waters. For obvious reasons the ves
sel should be ordered here with head
quarters at Astoria. It is tho belief
of The Astoriax that prompt repre
sentation of this matter to the gov
ernment through the proper chan
nels will place the vessel here where
she should be. There is no favor
about the thing. It is a matter of
business, an act of delayed necessity
and public attention is directed to
the existing state of facts.

THE SALT: OF THE "SHUBRICK."
Per advertisement in The Abtori
an, tho lighthouse tender Shubrick
was offered at public auction at Main
street wharf at noon yesterday. A
large crowd had gathered and at a
few minutes past noon E. C. Holden,
the auctioneer, read the conditions
of the sale, substantially that tho
right waa reserved to reject any or
all bid3; that the bidder to whom she
was knocked down was to deposit
twenty per cent, of the purchase mon
ey that day; that the gorernment offi
cials at Washington were to deter
mine whether the vessel was to be
turned over to the highest bidder or
not; that iu case she was the purchas
er would be placed in possession; if
not, the deposit would be returned
to him, and that the vessel was sold
just as she lay.
The sale waa started by Martin
Foard with a bid of 81,000 and went
by 250s and 100s to 4,300, bid by C.
Dourbrow, of San Francisco. An
other party who had participated in
the "bidding waa at this juncture sup
posed to have bid 4,400 and at this
price the vessel was cried for a short
space of time, when it being about to
be knocked down to him he dis
claimed the bid and refused to have
it appear as his.
Some discussion ensued, when the
auctioneer started the sale again:
this lime the bids started at 2,500
and went by slow degrees to 3,200
at which figure the vessel was sold to
C. Dourbrow. That gentleman stat
ed that if the sale was confirmed she
would be taken to San Francisco,
and that he had bought her for him
self. An official report of the sale was
telegraphed to Washington yester
day afternoon, and an answer will
probably be received to-morrow re
garding the acceptance or rejection
of the bid.
The general expression is that the
vessel "went very cheap." It is be
lieved that should the sale be con
firmed the vessel will be immediately
annexed to the steamship line of
Goodall, Perkins & Co., in the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Co.
THE NEW MAJOR GENERAL.

PRESENT PRICE OF SALMON.
Astoria, March 10, '8G.
Editor Asteriak:
I have been hunting the man that
is to get such high figures for his
paok and he can't be found; he does
not exist
Tho principal houses east write
here that they will not buy till the
end of the season. There is old
salmon of last year in the warehouses
on the Columbia river unsold; salm
on also in New York, and then talk
about bare markets!
Why, the California Grocer is
owned or manipulated by thaf specu
lator who is trying to unload his has
ty purchases.
It is about time these publishers
were giving the public something
like fair statements of markets, and
supply and demand instead of these
one-sided stories gotten up by specu
lators. Street corner talk on the salmon
market is about this:
That not one of the sales named in
the recent article in the California
Grocer was for a Higher price than
L07K Per dozen, and the rest from
that down to 1.00.
There are other packs than those
therein named which have been sold
at one dollar, and some reported as
low as 97J cents. What can be the
object of such newspaper reports, ex
cept that a certain house undertook
sometime ago to control the market
and bought the greater part of the
salmon that has been sold. It now
finds itself with contracts to purchase
nearly 200,000 cases at one dollar, and
one dollar and seven cents per dozen,
and has becomo frightened and
wants to unload. So captures the
California Grocer and blows these
great fish stories right in the face of
truth and common sense. People
out of work east, thousands starving
in the old countries, bread very cheap
and then talk of salmon being high
at the beginning of a season that pur
poses to pnt up the largest pack ever
known.

TRAGIC DEATH OF A BRUTE.
A brutal creature named Stephen
J. Klimpt ended his miserable life on
Thursday, March 11th, by blowing
his head to pieces with liis shot gun.
He lived six miles below this city on
Chenowith creek, and has been noto
rious for his cruelty to his hard work
ing wife and children of which ho
had five: a boy 15, a girl 12, and
three younger. The family lived in a
cabin with no fire place and no beds
for the older children. He had made
the oldest boy and girl sleep in the
barn all winter, and the girl had her
face frost bitten in one of the bitter
cold nights, and when the inquest
was taken by Coroner Phillips the
boys still slept in the barn. Klimpt
often beat his wife unmercifully, and
she, it is well known, had to cut wood
and load, and haul it to town to get
supplies, while he .vas hunting about
or drunk if he could get liquor. Five
days after the birth of one of her
children he made her get up and
drive a load of wood into town to sell,
and at another time she started to
carry a bag of flour on her shoulder
from town to the cabin, a distance of
six miles, but was helped by some
neighbor going home. His last act
of cruelty was to strike his wife on
the head, on Sunday, with au oak
grub 3 feet long and as big a3 a man's
wrist, which was used as a fire poker.
A complaint was entered and he was
put under 40 bonds on Monday for
appearance for trial on Tuesday, the
9th, but he felt sure that his conduct
would be opened to the public and
coward-like he blowed the top of his
skull off; having written a letter to
finnntv .Tndrrp TjipIir nncl nnp tn
Sheriff Crossen that when they re-'
ceived them he should be dead. Not
apearing at the time of trial, Deputy
Sheriff Geo. Herbert went after him.
His neighbors, Thomas and Marquis,
had found him iu the edge of an old
field, where he had stuck a handker
chief onto a post with his knife, and
his hat onto another post, and had
laid down and placed the muzzle of
his gun to his mouth and discharged
it with the ramrod which he held in
his hand. A piece of his skull as big
as his hand was blown 60 feet. Cor
oner Phillips summoned a jury com
posed of Z. E. Byers, Lawrence No
lan, P. Buffner, C. Neighbnrger, Geo.
Herbert and L. Snipes, who returned
a verdict of suicide. The neighbors
will now be disposed to help the poor
woman and her familv. Waseo Co.
