The Manzanita goes to the cape this morning with new lanterns to supersede those now in use, and with a load of coal oil, the edict having lately gone forth from govermental headquarters that hereafter coal oil shall be used instad of lard oil. It has been reported that there is a dangerous reef extending from two miles outside of Point Grenville to Capo Elizabeth, W. T. One mile out side this reef abreast of Quinaiult a sunken rook has been reported. Nav igators should give this vicinity a wide berth. The weather for the past five weeks holds back all kinds of business, more especially all businesses connected with the fishing industry. The boats can't make the usual lower grounds, and if there the squalls drive them back, Fortunately, though capsiz ings have been numerous, there has, so far, been very little loss of life. Of CoL Woodford, who is to arrive "here to-morrow, the Boston Messen ger says: "From all along the line of Mr. Woodford's route, come stirring reports of interest aroused and stim ulated, and good work done. Some of the no-license victories obtained in Berkshire county and other parts of the state are due in great measure to his able and convincing addresses." A schooner captain who needed some men to fill out his crew, went to Portland a few days ago and en gaged two men there, paying their fares to this city. When they got -here they refused to ship and when he threatened to have them arrested, they laughed at him and told him to go ahead. The captain will probably read up on the interstate commerce bill. On her last trip down tue river, when at Walker's Island, the Manzanita crew spied a deer swimming across the river. A boat was lowered and the deer gathered in out of the wet. He was made a pet of at once, and a collar and other adornments were rigged up and placed upon the fright ened fawn of the forest. When off Tongue Point he was released, and ..'gaining the shore in safety, he 'bounded lightly away and was soon lost to sight in .the sylvan glades. W. F. Smith and Geo. Achoy, the captain and crew of the stanch craft Bashing Wave, chartered for the sea son by the Aberdeen Packing Co., yesterday had a narrow escape from a sailor's grave in the heaving waters of the lower Columbia, their vessel tipping over at five o'clock and throw- ing the entire force into the yeasty waves near Htvaco wharf. Assist ance was close at hand, and W. F. was soon in dryor quarters. Geo. waved his hand gaily to the shoro and walked tue keel of the submerged craft as she was towed swiftly to the shingly beach. It is reported, says the Oregoniau, that parties representing the Union Pacific railway, or "sitting close to the throne," are now in the city try ing to buy the sawmill property of the Holladay estate, more familiarly known as Weidler's mill. TLe proD erty inclndes four or five blocks, which, it is Baid, the Union Pacific desires as a freight yard. These blocks would give considerable room on this side, in addition to the ground owned by the Northeip Pacific Ter minal company, and would be a good investment on general principles. As a rule, railroads do not engage in the enterprise of cutting lumber, but the Union Pccific is the largest purchaser in this market and it would not be surprising if the company would find it profitable to own a mill. The last purchase of the company in this mar ket was over a million ties, which cost them S227,000. About five years ago the Northern Pacific railway of ficials made an offer of something like S240.000 for tho property, but Joe Holladay was not able to "give a legal title. . CITY COUNCIL PBOCEEDIXGS. An adjourned meeting of the city council was held last Tuesday eveu ing, Councilman Bergman, president of the council, in the chair.

At this hour (2 r. m.) but little hope is enter tained for the safety of the impris oned men. Fire is still raging, but it is thought it will soon be gotten un der control. The rescuing party will again attempt to go below. All this day gangs of men have been engaged in strenuous efforts to subdue the flames in the No. 1 shaft, and at 11 a. si, it was thought they had the flames under control. Tho Merryweather steam fire engine is doing good work pumping water from the harbor down the shaft, the hand fire engine having been taken down the mine, where it is fighting the fire from the leveL It is impossible to make an attempt to get at tho imprisoned men until the fire is subdued, for by so doing it would drive the gas on to the fire and canse a second disaster. Thero is but little hope of saving the men alivo, but an effort will be made at the first possiblo moment to reach the imprisoned miners. Over one-half of tho dead, injured and im prisoned men leave wives and fami lies to mourn their untimely end. At 9 p. sr. great advances have been made in subduing the flames, and it is now thought the fire is con fined to a small portion of tho level between the main and air shafts. From present appearances the fire in the air shaft itself is entirely out. The expectation is that the firo will be extinguished by daylight -this morning. Instantly the fire is out, the work of carrying air into the workings will be proceeded with, and tho impression is that by to-morrow evening the full extent of tho disaster will be ascertained. Julius Michael, one of the injured, stated that he was sitting in the cabin at supper in No. 2 shaft. He felt a concussion, when all scrambled out. Ho became insensible, and was the only one saved of his four compan ions, whose dead bodies came up in tho cage with him. Several hardly appreciate the miraculous escape, owing to the dazed feeling which characterized all who came out from the deadly pit. Only 150 yards from the entrance to the shaft Michael represents the explosion as some thing terrific, when all became dark ness. John Lynch, badly injured about the face and hands, and hip fractured, has been in dementia all day, his talk being of work in tho pit. It i3 thought he will not recover, owing to inhaling gas. The others were not injured seriously, though all were badly shaken up. Samuel Hudson's heroic death is unaccountable. He was a miner of great experience, while those who went down with him to rescno their fellows were comparatively inexpori rienced. He died from tho effects of after damp. His brave deed is one of tho brightest things in this carnival of misery. Fears aro entertaiued that tho whole place may bo blown up, and old miners say such a result is possi blo. If so, the catastrophe would be the greatest recorded in the history of coal mining. All hope of rescuing anyone in the mines was long ago abandoned. All that men can do is being done to reach them. It was thought first of cutting a ditch to salt water, so as to attempt to put out the fire in No. 2 shaft by turning a stream of water into it, but the scheme was aban doned. It would only flood the mine, rendering it practically useless for a year, and would banish any hope that might have been entertained of sav ing tho lives of the men. The mines extend out from the shore more than a mile beneath tho waters of the harbor, and as one looks over the placid waves he cannot im agine that beneath them aro impris oned many dead, the fathers and sons of oighty families of this little city. Around the shaft tho scenes are har rowing in the extreme. As each cage came up anxious faces looked for glad tidings that nev,er came, and hope also so soon to be dispelled by the truth that there is no prospect for the dear ones who died at their post of dutv. Mr. Byder and Mr. Scott, of the Wellington mines, went down this afternoon, at the imminent risk of their lives, in an endeavor to make an investigation as to the manner of pro cedure. Mr. Chandler, of tho Wel lington mine, has been indefatigable in his efforts to assist in the work of rescue. Indeed, everybody seems pos-" sessed with a desire to labor heroic ally in the arduous and dangerous work. Grief-frantic women "tore their hair in agony of sorrow, and with babes at their bosoms continued to walk up and down, mourning their losses. Many are dementod and feel that they should go into the cage to fand their loved ones. One-half the dead and imprisoned men leave wive3 ana families to mourn their untimely end. It is believed late to-night that the fire in tho air Bhaft has been extin guished, and that a small body of flame exists between the air nnd main shaft, which will probably be con quered to-morrow, when an attempt will do maae 10 onng air in ana me work of rescue will begin. By to morrow night it is hoped the men will be reached. One woman in conversation to night lamented the loss of husband, father and brother, her all. She had given up all hope and only prayed to see her dead husband once more. This is only one of many cases. A black pall hang3 over the city. Business houses are all closed, the collieries shut up and the entire pop ulation gathered at the scene of the disaster. Broken-hearted wives, ter ror stricken children and sorrowing fathers hover in the viciuity and mourn their terrible affliction. Like Bachael of old, they refuse to bo comforted. Even the skies seem to share in tho general grief, for they have been somber- and leaden col ored all day, occasional showers of rain casting a dreariness over the al ready ghastly scene. The imprisoned miners were all old settlers. Their faces were familiar on the streets and there will be many a void in the homes of the people when the terrible tale is told that they are doad. It is almost impossible that any can have survived, though many have that hope deferred which maketh the heart sick. People do not yet begin to realize the extent of the calamity. When tho exoitemenfc has passed away the reaotion will be terrible. The nature of the explosion is of course unknown. It is generally aup-l posea to no an explosion of coal dust similar to that on tho Queen of the Pacific. The tale will never be told. Astonishing Success. It is the duty of every person who has used JBoschee's Qeiman Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consump tion, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases.
