Merchants generally throughout tne city report sales good, business lively, and little difficulty in collec tions. v. The directors of school district No. One want thirty cords spruce limbs and like careful business men they want bids for the delivery of the same. The foreign clearances from Asto ria for August were a3 follews: salm on, 78,750 cases, worth 8166,631; flour, 5,155 barrels, worth 819,419; wheat, 64,754 bushels, worth $48,5S4; total, 534,634. Since the -establishment of Sher man & Ward's livery stable the healthful exercise of horseback rid ing is greatly on the increase. It is a most desirable form of exercise and one that is conducive to health and pleasure. There was a motley gathering on the Alaskan yesterday morning, her last triD from the beach. Amnne and r l around and above returning excur sionists were chairs, babies, stools, dogs, buggies, camping outfits, etc., in profusion. Wa Chong & Company, Chinese merchants of Seattle, are negotiating for the charter of a sailing vessel to load with lumber for China. Gee Hee states that lumber which can be bought there at $9 per thousand can be sold in China at from $34 to 835 per thousand. In showing a stranger or a visitor around the city it is a sort of give: " away to run up against such a sign as that aoross the roadway about it being dangerous and all that. The first question is, "Why isn't it fixed?" and it is a hard question to explain without saying too much. The newspapermen of Port Town send present a solid front to the city counoil and announce that they will hereafter not publish the city counoil proceedings unless they are paid for it If they won't give the news without being paid for it they'd better sell out to some one that will. Wm. Beid, president of the Port land & Willamette Valley railway, 0. N. . Scott, , receiver of the Narrow Gauge, and others have been out through the Nestucca country with a view of probable extension of their lines in that direction. Sheridan would be a good starting point for a road in this direction. Work at the bar is progressing in a manner far from satisfactory. The fine weather is passing and but little has thus far been accomplished. As things look now, president Cleveland will have the same ex ouse to veto the next river and harbor bill that he did the last ene: "They didn't spend the amount they had on hand." jThe City Guard brass band, of San 1iego, Gala., gets 85,000 from the municipality to go east and play in the different cities, and "boom" the town in thai way. Alex. Campbell received a dispatch yesterday from his son Charley, who plays the B flat clario net in the band, that they started yes terday on their way. 85,0001 Brass band!! Boom!!! There are three canneries on the Siuslaw this seasen: the O. Timmen's Co.: Bergman & Kyle: and Smith & Pardee. The fish are reported plen ty and are of good size; they are shorter and chunkier than the Co lumbia salmon, and differ materially in other respects. Charley Woods, of Millers Sands notoriety, is there, and is reported to have "a good thing" in the way of seining. During August the following named gave notice of their intention to become citizens of this ceuntry: From Russia: Ohas. Wilson, Alexan der Aunaly, Alex. Tagg, Fred Carl son, Ghas. A.

Why shouldn't they slaughter goods at the Crystal Palace, as they are going toleafetneclty. LATEST TELEGEAPHIO NEWS. Pabis, Aug. 31. Prince Napoleon and prince "Victor have written to ex empress Eugenie asking to be ex cused from attending the transfer of the remains of Napoleon TIT, and the prince imperial from Chiselhurst to Farnsborough, on the ground that it would be impolitic for the father and son to meet each other. A SAOO SENSATIOX. Saco, Maine, Aug. 31. The biggest sensation Saco ever experienced de veloped this morning, The Saco and Biddeford saving institution has seri ously suffered through the clerk who has absconded. His name is Frank C. McNielly; he is 19 years old. He has mysteriously disappeared, taking 83,500 in cash and United States bonds to the amount of S91.000. Though he left town Monday after noon the bank officers and family kept the matter so quiet that the news did not leak out till this morn ing. President Goodale says the loss is so much less than the surplus that the bank will be perfectly safe, even if the amount taken by the abscond ing clerk was never recovered. The bonds are registered and cannot pos sibly be used. THE GLASS IKDDSTBY. Pittsburg, Aug. 31. There is now every probability that all the branch es of the glass industry will resume work without any trouble, excepting the window glass manufacturers. The window glass manufacturers and employes have still a wide breach be tween them, and the strike which will be inaugurated to-morrow will throw Beveral thousand men out of employ ment. A TEHPE3T IN PETERSBURG. Petebsbubg, Va., Aug. 3L 'iho city to-day is in a feverish state of ex citement over the clash between races. Last week a negro was fined fifty dollars and sent to jail for striking a white woman. On Fri day Dr. Hunton, a promineut phy sician, struck a colored girl. He was arrested and the case continued until to-day. The negroes demanded that the doctor should receive the same punishment as was inflicted upon the negro. A violent card signed by prominent negroes was published in the Index ami Appeal yesterday. The signers and editors were arrested for libel. The excite ment became so intense that the mayor ordered three companies of militia to hold themselves in readi ness for any emergency. Great anxi ety is felt. A FRENCH EXECUTION. Pabis, Aug. 31. Pranzini, the mur derer of Madame Begnault aud her maid and her maid's child, was guil lotined at five o'clock this morn ing. Vast crowds waited about the place of execution during the whole night and kept up a constant howl ing and yelling. The din was hor rible. When the-chaplain who was to officiate at the execution arrived at 430 a. m., the mass of people was so great that ho was almost pre vented from reaching the gate of the prison. Pranzini marched from the cell to the scaffold with a firm step and defiant air. When the execu tioners seized him he resisted and fought desperately, and demanded that they let him alone. The execu tioners overpowered him, threw him on the machine and in an instant had him securely bound. Immediately after, the terrible knife started. It desoended slowly at first, but then quickened and the head of the mur derer rolled into the basket The mob became very disorderly during the progress of the execution. Yesterday Jlornlns's Fire. A fire broke out in the northwest ern or rear portion of a two story frame building on the roadway to Union town at twelve minutes to three yesterday morning, which almost completely destroyed the building. There are two houses close together in a bend just beyond Trul linger's mill and close to the Cutting Canning company's premises. It was tho one farther east that was burned. It had been occupied as a saloon up to last April, since which time it was vacant It was on leased ground. It was owned by Jno. Enck son and was insured for its full value 2,500. Facts and. evidence go to ehow that tho building was set on fire: for what purpose can easily be imagined. The department, an usual,- was at the scene of the fire in an incredibly short time. Three o'clock in the morning is about the worst time a fire can be, for nearly everyone that proposes to get any sleep, is in bed and snoring. The boys were on deck, however, ns soon as the alarm tapped and got there in a very few minutes. Both engines were stationed on Trul linger's dock and did efficient service. The fire was well handled, and though in a place hard to get at, was speedily under coutroL The adjoining build ing suffered a little, and at one time it looked a little scaly for the can nery, but fortunately, tho fire was confined to where it originated. A man named Isaac Torquila had been Bleeping in the building, but didn't happen to oocupy his usual couch Monday night.

The sardine business to Americans at present is the amount of the fac tory hands' earnings, which is quite offset by the losses which the proprie tors have made. Maine is not a dollar better off this year by having these fac tories in Washington county than she would be if the value of the same properties was represented in ordi nary real estate. On the contrary, New Brunswick will, in all human probability, bo richer by thousands of dollars on this very account. I do not believe we are in a position to concede even this small amount to a country that has and is now upon this very subject treating us so unjustly. Are sardines immediately con sumed? is a question that ought not to puzzle one very deeply. Stand on a wharf here m Eastport some afternoon and you will hear a whistle sound three distinct times. In a moment the town will be in com motion. Bagged urchins not over ten years old will dart out behind tiers of boxes and roll over each other in their haste to reach a rickety wooden building near the pier below, where a newly arrived boat is dis charging her cargo of fish. If you approach closer you will find that she is not over thirty feet in length, and is a "double-ender," after the style of most Canadian boats. She is nearly decked over, and down in the little hold, which is too low to permit one to stand erect in, is a sleepy-looking man with a Bort of wooden scoop in his hand. By his side is a bushel basket Under his feet are the fish, but he moves about cautious ly in order not to destroy more of them than is necessary. As ho fills the basket, which is pulled to the wharf above by a com panion, two boys seize it and run t6 ward tho factory. There the contents are turned out and tho cleaning bo gins. Men, women and children of all shades and nations gather around and noisily hurry tho work of dissec tion. With one turn of the knife the head of one little fish has been cut off, the entrails removed and tho vic tim is ready for the next process, to prepare him for the tin box in wliich he is to be eventually canned, Then watch him as he is packed and boxed. The deck hands tumble tho case in which his remains rest without cere mony. Then the steamer reaches the great metropolis and ho is placed on board of a western-bound train, and finally brings up in some moun tain grocery store in Idaho or Wash ington territory. Some ranchman or miner there consumes the delicate morsel, and the history-of the sar dine is ended. Is ho immediately consumed? "Two-thirds of all tho sardines we send away go into tho west," ob served a local dealer. "When the Canadian possessions iu Manitoba become sufficiently populated to war rant sending fish there in large quan tities, it will, in my belief, prove a lucrative business. But such a time is far distant I have tried the scheme myself under present condi tions, nnu am Borry to say it was not a success." Cen: Boston Olobe. Fast Steamer to Astoria. Tho steamer Alaskan will be with drawn from the Ilwaco route to morrow, and the Ji. R. Thompson will take her place as the fast Astoria boat. She will leave Portland Tues day and Thursday at 7 a. si., and Sat urday at 1 r. M., and leave Astoria Wednesday and Friday at 7 a. m., and Sunday at 3 p. m. This arrange ment will hold good during the month of September, and probably during October, to accommodate late seaside travel and eastern visitors who want to take a look at the ocean during our beautiful Indian summer. As soon as the Wide West is rebuilt, she will be put on the Astoria route as a fast boat The mail boats leav ing Astoria and Portland at G a. m. daily, will be continued as usual. Oregoniati, Aug. 31. Unnecessary Misery. 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 thai no one likes to take the medicines usually pre scribed. HAMBUKG FIGS were prepared to obviate this difficulty, and they will bo found pleasant to the taste of women and children. 25 cents. At all druggists. J. J. Mack & Co., proprietors. S. F.
