The,mys tery of the whaler Amethyst, which has not been seen since September, 1885, and about which so ma"ny tales have been told, appears to be clear ing up. The mate of the AngeVDolly, one of the sealers seized by the revenue cutter Richard Rush, is in the city. He says when he was cruising about the northern islands of the Choumagin group, the hull of a vessel was sighted high up on the beach. It was found that she was the missing Amethyst and that she was broken in two. Two "boats were swung from the davits, but every thing was deserted and the cabin was in confusion. There was noth ing to indioate the fate of the crew, but hopes are entertained that some or tuem may oe aiive. MANITOBA KATI.BOAD3. Fort Assinaboine, Manitoba, Sept 9.

This afternoon in a crowded restaurant Frank Knight, aged 35, of hitherto good reputation, met Miss Ida "Wal lace, a young "woman whose conduct has made her a subject of scandal, and without warning and in a com monplace conversation ho drew a re volver and shot Ida in the right ear. She fell unconscious and the horri fied spectators allowed Knight to walk out with his smoking revolver. He went directly to the po lice station and surrendered. He merely stated that he had shot the girl because she bad given mm a disease which he had communicated to his wife, causing her death. The deceased, Mrs. Knight, left her hus band a few months before her death and having no friends she went to the county almshouse and died of a most loathesome malady. She was very well behaved and respectable. Ada Wallace is unconscious, and the pnysicians say she will die. THE AMERICAN OOIiONY TO CELEBRATE. Our of Mexico, Sept. 9.

The city council met in special ses sion last evening, present Mayor Trul linger and five councilmen. Auditor Jewett read the call: the question made what was ebject: answer made object stated m calL Councilman Carruthers thought- there were too many police on the force. Council man Cleveland thought if the force was to be reduced, put off the last member that went on, but anything would suit him. Mayor Trnllmger inquired who went on last: was told Whalen, Linville and Olsen. Coun cilman Cleveland thought discussion premature: there hadn't been a meet-- ingot me committee togetner. ne thought it time enough next Tuesday night: he had made no report yet. Mayor Trullinger thought that econ omy suggested that a chief and five policemen were too many. Councilman oherman thought if the police force was reduced, it would be well to select and keep the best men on. Council man Gratke thought-that there was no use in talking so much: do some thing or leave it alone. The mayor thought the rule of putting off the last officer appointed just because he happened to be the last, was a very poor rule: he agreed with what coun cilman buerman said: keep the good men, put off the poor ones, or those not considered so goed: that was his judgment, too. He had no prefer ences, but simply talked for the best interests of the city. Councilman Carruthers thought that private and public business should be conducted alike: a man in his private business capacity would keep the best men in his employ, no matter when they went on. Councilman Cleveland thought so, too. Mayor Trullinger thought that the police force could and should be reduced. Councilman Fulton thought that three policemen were enough, two at night and one by day. The city now had five besides the chief. Mayor Trullinger though that three were enough. Counoilman Cleveland suggested that the counoil put them all off. He wouldn't pick out any man to stay on or bo put eff: to do that would justify objections on the eutside: he thought it batter to follow the old rule. Councilman Car ruthers said he had no delicacy that way at all: he didu't want any man kept on the police force for buncombe or charity. He thought that every oouncilman had a fixed opinion, and he was not afraid, if it came to a vote, to name the men that he thought should stay on or go. Councilman Fulton thought so, too. Councilman Cleve land said -the committee would bo able to make a report next Tuesday, ANOTIIER SUBJECT. Councilman Cleveland thought that it was a cowardly way to go to work, but the fact was that Mayor Trullin ger had advised chief of police Twombly, who is under a cloud, to resign his star for the pres ent: that was the question that the council had come together to de cide: he had not made it a personal matter: he didn't want to. The question was whether or not it was right, under the circumstances, to ask the chief fit police to resign his star; he had no personal feelings: he was very sorry for existing circum stances. Councilman Fulton thought that it must be asked, Why is this necessary? Chief Twombly is on bail to stand his trial: all these matters and charges would be investigated in couffc. He didn't see why the coun cil should take any action at all in the matter; he thought it best for the council to let it alene: let the matter go on and see how it termi nates: he thought that best. Councilman Gratke thought that on that proposition the tax payers wouldn't agree.: he thought the chief must 'realize his position exactly and thought that the chief himself should resign; if he didn't do it of himself he should be called upon to resign: that was what the taxpayers and citizens asked. Mayor Trullinger said that all pres ent must speak frankly. Councilman Gratke said that he would move that the chief of police be requested to give up his star and his keys till the matter was settled! ho would make motion to that effect. Councilman Carruthers . thought that till the charges were made against the chief in court the council couldn't do that Councilman Cleve land made a statement re garding the duties of the justice ceurt: that a man was simply held, and his guilt or innocence was not determined. Still ho thought it would look better for the chief to -give up bis star: he would like, however, to see his pay go on if he was sus pended. Councilman Fulton said he had talked with a good many men, and found that public opinion was about equally divided: it was but a short time. till court met: there was a good deal to say on both sides: private quarrels had nothing to do with city government, It would, he thought, be better to let it alone for the present Mayor Trnllingor thought that till the matter came before the court the oity council couldn't take any action regarding suspension or removal; couldn't prefer any charges against him; that after the grand jury met was time enough to take action. Councilman Fulton Baid the mayor's argument was the same as that of other sensible men that he had heard talk about it; he thought it would be better to let the matter rest; he didn't think it right to to have the chiefs case prejudiced. Councilman Gratke said he didn t want to have the chief of police discharged, but wanted to have him suspended until the court had passed on his case; if something wasn't done there was no use for the special meeting. Mayor Trullinger said if he ha'd the say so, tie would say do nothing at all about it; go home and let the matter drop; of police to give up his star for his own sake, because, in his opinion, it might relieve him of some of the prejudice that might lieve him of the prejudice .that might otherwise be against him. Council man Fulton said to get the matter in shape he would make a motion that the matter be left in abevance till after thQ.court had passed on it. Councilman Carruthers seconded the motion. The vote was yea. Council men Carruthers. Fulton "and Slier- man; nays, Councilmen Cleveland and uratKe. ine mayor said three was a majority, and suggested 4hat the council had better adjourn. It did. SOME OUTSIDE COMMENT. "What Our Neighbors Have To Say. Astoria is at lost awakening from its lethargy. Judge Bowlby, president of tho Astoria Chamber of Commerce, has appointed a committee of fifteen promi nent citizens to devise a plan for raising a bonus of $150,000 for a railroad to con nect that city with the American railroad system. This is indeed an important step, and it augurs well for the future of Astoria. If Page, Kinney, Flavel, Mor gan, Bozorth, Leinenweber, Fulton, Meg ler, Parker, Trenohard, Van Dusen, and others of the bristling, active, and stir ring citizens of Astoria will just take .hold, they'll have a railroad connection m jiny. m fact, tnere is no reason why Astorians can't build tho road them selves. The plan is simple and easy. Let them organize a corporation or take one already organized. Let them lay out survey and adopt their route so as to secure the usual privileges over the gov ernment lands. Then let them tate do nations of adjacent land from persons along the prbposed route aud get all the subscriptions they can from those inter ested in Astoria. Then let them begin construction and at once put their bonds for the requisite amount on tho market. They can raise money on them at C per cent, easily, and enough money too to build their own road. That is- tho way tho shrewd speculators' are doing in the South, and through that thosa states are just being gridironed with railroads. .oiouoy is just uuuuuK uuer investment, and holders are glad to tako 3 per cent. bonds of cities. They jump at bcherner to ioau uu ruuruuu uuuoa wiiu a small baoking of land grants and such. Six per cent is very high, and the bonds must not be at a higher rate or a suspi cion of their value will be excited. But the Astoria connection either at Forest Grove or Kalama, is one of the finest railroad enterprises on the boards. There would be no difficulty in floating the bonds of that road and consequently no difficulty in starting Astoria upon a ca reer of greatness. If a dozen good men of Astoria will join in, we will show them how they can have a railway connection at Kalama or Forest Grove in six months. The route to Kalama is peculiarly in viting since it would make Astoria the terminus of the Northern Pacific in its fight with the allied lines and would probably force the Union to go down. This would (necessitate the incoming of the southern Pacific, and Astoria would sud denly become one of the most important railroad centers on this coast. Let the men of Astoria bestir themselves. Let thorn cease to bee somebody else to build their road, as Portland is begging outsiders to build its lino hotel. Let them do tho business themselves, and wo will 'point out to six men how each can clear big money on the transaction, and have the plaudits of all true Asto- nans. romanjp. iimes-uemocrui. A proposition has been made to As toria, that if $150,000 is raised as a bonus, n railroad with eastern connection will bo built to their place inside of twelve months. The amount is so small that in a place like Astoria, it could be raised in a day, and it the proposition can be relied upon the money should be forth coming at once. "We of Pacific oounty naturally have an interest in tho outcome of our neighbor on the Columbia, and it is with some anxiety that we watch her progress. Pacific Journal. Decora tiro Art Kooiuh. lira.
