PobtijAND, Aug. 30. Mike Carlin, a
bricklayer, was found dead this morn

looked like murder. The coroner's jnry
gave a verdict of accidental death.
A LITTLE DAMAGE.
Cnico, Cala., Aug. 30. The north
bound Oregon express and the south
bound express collided at the depot
in this city early thip morning. The
cause of the accident was the fail
ure of the airbrakes on the north
bound train, whioh dashed by the
depot and struck the south bound
train, standing at the water tank,
with such force that the locomotives
were fairly telescoped and the cars of
the south bound train were sent up
the track nearly one hundred yards.
The tenders on both locomotives
were completely wrecked and the
front of the baggage cars were
smashed. The engineers of both
trains, Mackay on the north and
Grant on the south bound, stayed
with their engines. But one man
was hurt, N. K. Sprague, whose left
legjwas slightly sprained.
SEXATOB SHEBSTAN'S VIEWS.
Cincinnati, Aug. 30. Senator
Sherman, in an interview, says: "My
views have been that while tlie Cana
dian government had a legal right
to exclude American fishermen with
in the three mile limit of their shore
it was an act of bad policy to do so,
and that their denial to Ameri
can fishermen of commercial
rights to seek shelter and buy bait
and supplies in Canadian ports was
inconsistent with the civilized and
generous policy of modern commer
cial relations between the United
States and the dominion government.

THE COAL SUTPLT.
San Fbanoisoo, Aug. 30. A prom
inent coal dealer has predicted a coal
famine in this city in a short time,
and states that the wheat corner is
to blame, as it has tied up a large
fleet of English vessels in this harbor
for the last few months. He also
says this city mainly depends on the
coast supply of coal; 'that is, on tho
mines of Wellington and Nanaimo.
Other things being equal, this city
could depend for supply on those
two, but the recent disaster in the
latter mine withdrew 800 tons of
daily output from the market, and
the Wellington and Seattle mines, if
worked to their utmost capacity,
could not with that drawback begin
to satisfy the demand.
Didn't Stand the Raise.
Coroner Boss, who returned yester
day from Calfornia, tells of a little
incident that illustrates one of the
interesting features in the land of
the boom. While in Alameda fiust
across the creek from Oakland) he
saw a lot on Bay street, between
Michigan and Central avenues, and
thinking it would bo a good lot to
buy, went to the real estate agent
who had it advertised for sale.
"What is that lot worth?" quoth the
Astonan. "Five hundred dollars, sir,
and a very desirable piece of prop
erty." This was on Friday, the 12th.
The following Wednesday, the 17th,
J. C. returned from a visit to the
country and walked into the real
estate ngent's office. "Here's your
$500; give me a title deed." "What
lot do you wnnt?" said the real es
tate acent. "That one right there,"
said Boss. ''That lot, my friend,"
said the real estate agent, "will
cost you $1,000." "But you said
it was $500," said J. C. "Very
true." "I did," quoth the agent:
"it was $500 last Friday. But this
is Wednesdav. Shall I make yon
out the deed? It is cheap at $1,000."
"No," said Mr. Ross, "I guess I'll
look on a while."
The next Saturday, the 20th, he
was in tho real eBtate agent's office
with his father, who is a resident of
Oakland, and who had business in
Alameda, and looking on the plat at
the lot he had a -big notion of buy
ing eight days before for $500. he
said to the real estate man: "What
is that worth?" tapping the point in
dicated on the map with his finger.
"That lot, answered the r. e. m., "is
worth $1,500." "Great Scott," said
Ross. "Pact" said the r. e. m.
Just out of curiosity, before he left
on his return to Astoria he went back
to the real estate agent "la that lot
sold yet?" "Yes." "Who tof "Ex
policeman Smith." He hunted up ex
policeman Smith. "Did you buy
such and such a lot?" "Ye3.'
"What did you pay for it if it's a
fair question?" "$1,750."

In Brief, And to the Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foo
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. It is easily
pnt out of ordor.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to bo,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Greens August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American pooplo so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember: No happiness without
health. Bhd Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to tho
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottlo. Seventy-five cents.
At Ross' Opera House Next Monday.
Another large audience greeted A.
R. Wilber's Madison Square company
last night the great play "The Gal
ley Slave" was presented. It is the
finest melodrama of modern times.
The scene of the play is located in
Rome, Venice and France. The plot
is intensely interesting, and the play,
which is in five acts, is full of strong
situations and picturesque groupings.
The company is a strong one and en
titled to rank among the best travel
ing. No one should miss seeing this
great and famous play. Buffalo
Courier.
Unnecessary 3Ilsery.
Probably as much misery comes
from habitual constipation as from
any derangement of the functions of
the body, and it is difficult to cure,
for the reason that no one likes to
take the medicines usually pre
scribed. HAMBUBG FIGS were
prepared to obviate this difficulty,
and they will be found pleasant to
the taste of women and children. 25
cents. At all druggists. J. J. Mack
& Co., proprietors. S. F.
The question is coming as to
whether type-writiug signatures are
legal. Owing to the vast amount
of matter written by type-writing
machines, it is not unlikely that an
occasional signature to an important
document will be found to have
been made in this way. A legal au
thority of note gives it as his opin
ion that the intention of tho law is
to regard such signatures as simply
evidence that the maker of the
document wished it to be valid.
The law would not, therefore, bear
so much on how the maker signed it
as to whether he signed it at all.
A man's name written in his own
handwriting is evidence that it is
his signature. A typo written signa
ture is no evidence in itself that it
was written by the person whose sig
nature it purports to be. It would
seem, in view of these facts, that
tho signature would be good enough
in ordinary cases, but would require
evidence to prove that it is what it
pretends to be.
Their Business Booming.
Probably no one tiling has caused
such a general revival of trade at W. E.
Dement & Co.'sDrug Store as their giv
