fa 4 hc gaiUj gtftoriatt. ASTORIA. OREGON: "WEDNESDAY... SEPTEMBER 2S, 1837 Blaise is ou the beautiful blue Danube. The heavy influx of foreign labor is having a depressing effect on wages in New England. About half of the men find stopping places in the man ufacturing towns. The liquor manufacturers, dealers and saloon keepers in Chicago, num bering 4,500 voters, are organizing with a view of giving their solid sup port to the party which will offer them the most for it They claim to control 20,000 votes. . m l The trreat John Bright has a son in parliament who thinks and acts foi himself. Strtmge as it may appear, he doesn't think and act as his father does. The son is an ardent home ruler, and after making a bright speech in favor of the Gladstone meas ure, his father wrote him a sharp let ter, calling his speech "nonsense." Whereupon the son replied to his father as follews: Deab Fatheb: I am in receipt of your letter, nnd after carefully reading nave come to the conclusion that it is not such a communication as one statesman should address to another; therefore, you'll excuse me if I do not answer it. The son's independence so pleased the old gentleman that he had no more remonstrances to offer. An Interrupted Court. The spacious halls and corridors of the county jail were"brilliantly illumi nated last evening, the occasion be ing a moot court. Mr. Burk, under present sentence for stealing a suit of clothes from Dick Leathers, was prosecuting atterney: O. V. Carter, whose attempted effort to leave the Columbia was frustrated by Divine Providence, was the presiding judge, and Andrew Norris, who goes to Salem for a brief respite from the cares of business life, was the counsel for the defense. The first prisoner tried was J. F. Patterson, and not withstanding the eloquence of the defense and the impassioned appeal of the prisoner, who literally and fig uratively threw himself on the court, a sentence of five years was imposed, greatly to the satisfaction of Mr. Burk. Further proceedings were in terrupted 'by jailor Curran, who said that there had been complaints from the neighbors of having their chick ens Btolen by former prisoners, and he wanted no more foolishness.

Dr. Page returned yesterday from the scene of the recent shooting on the Nasel: he examined the wounded man, who was at his place about four miles above Sunehine, and gives it as his opinion that the man will certainly die. He was struck in the back by a heavy charge of buckshot, four of the shot penetrating his left lung, and one his right: emphysema has supervened. The circumstances are substantially as related in yester day's Astoriax. The name of the wounded man is Tno. Bruntz, about 45 years of age, unmarried. His as sailant has a difficult French name: he is known in that vicinity as Henry Jones. He is in 'jail at Oysterville, pending developments in his victim's case. 8230 In Cash!

Manciet, murdered an other man at Yankee Fork, Idaho, in 1878. Dillon's mother went to Idaho and spent $3,000 or $4,000 to secure his pardon, which, she succeeded in doing July 27, 188L didn't know it was loaded. San Francisco, Sept. 27. Eight small boys between eight and twelve years old boarded a small and leaky scow at Cousin's dry dock last even ing, and soon drifted far out into the stream. A strong ebb tide carried the boat seaward and it was lost to sight in the darkness. Early this morning an Italian fisherman picked the boys up outside the Heads, all safe. a postponement. St. Louis, Sept. 27. .Owing to the steady rain this morning the CirandArmy review has been post poned till 10 o'clock to-morrow. a double tragedt. Holbrook, A. T., Sept. 27. Mana ger Gordon, of the Walter's cattle comnanv. was shot atWinslow yes terday by Louis Brown, a cowboy and employe of the same company, on ac count of an old grudge. Gordon after being shot fired two barrels of buckshot at Brown and then placed the revolver to his own head and killed himself. Brown's body was found several miles from Wiuslow; also his riderless horse. THE VOLUNTEER WON. New York, Sept. 27. The first race between the Volunteer and the Thistlevras sailed to-day. There was a light breeze all day. The Vol unteer won, beating the Thhlle by thirteen minutes, or about two miles. The race was clearly won by the superior seamanship of the Vol unteer's captain and crew. NEW YORK DEMOCRATS. Saratoga, Sept. 27. The Demo cratic convention hero is well attend ed. George Baines, of Rochester, was chosen temporary chairman: "the following resolutions Tvere effered: Resolved, That laws aud assess ments and taxation should be re-adjusted and reformed so that all prop erty shall relatively bear its share in the support of government aud re lieve farming and kindred pursuits for disproportionate burdens im posed under present laws, and that national legislation should be so mod ified and amended that agriculture shall no longer be embarrassed or im paired by unwise discrimination. The convention then took a recess un til evening. SEAMEN MAIMED AND MANGLED. Haifax, N. S., Sept. 27 The Brit ish warship lielleroplion, carrying the flag ofAdmiral Lyon, and which was ordered to Newfoundland fishing waters, has arrived here and placed in the hospital the men injured by the explosion of rockets while in Quebec. The extent of this terrible accident was hushed up in Quebec. It happened under these circum stances: Governor-general Lansdowne and suite were at the old French capital. On the evening of September 10 there was a grand entertainment in Lans downe's honor on tho flagship Beller opJion. At night the ironclad was gorgeously illuminated with electric ity, oil lamps and fire-works, and presented the grandest sight ever witnessed at historical Quebec. At 930 o'clock, as Lord Lansdowne and party were leaving for the shore some GOO men of tho crew were on deck. The yards were manned, bands play ing nnd there was a grand finale of explosions. A pile of sixty or more of the most powerful rockets lay on tho upper deck. One or them on be ing ignited, instead of going up in the air, exploded on deck, igniting the pile of sixty. The effect was tre mendous. In a moment the death dealing rockets were sweeping the deck in every direction, bnrning, lac erating and maiming the helpless men. The pieces were flying up into tho rigging and yards and carrying havoc among the poor fellows sta tioned there, and the sticks were falling among the crowds on shoro and on the French war ships Miner ta and Clorinde and other vessels anchored in the harbor. The Que bec papers next morning announced that a midshipman and two men had been injured. The fact was that nearly fourteen men had been more or less injured, thirteen of them, in cluding midshipman Doutney, so se riously that the JBellerophon had to leave Quebec, and instead of going to Newfoundland as ordered, she came to Halifax to place the men in the naval hospital. They are terribly burned and lacerated. Some have the fleshy part of their thighs and legs blown off, others have the mus cles of their nrms torn. The explo sion took place about midship, and thus gave a fore and aft sweep to the fiery serpents, during which many had time to hide behind tho guns. a humored plan. Washington, Sept. 27. Rumors are rife with regard to the probabilities next session in case Mr. Randall should decide to assume an aggres sive policy, as a set-off to the declara tions of Mills and other free traders that he is to be shorn of power, and made to take a back seat It is ar gued that with the four labor repre sentatives in the house, who will most likely vote to seat Carlisle's con testant, Mr.Thoebe, Mr. Randall and his protection Democrats may be able to effect a combination with the Republicans strong enough to unseat Carlisle, or at least to prevent his election to the speakership. This is likely to happen unless pledges are given in advance that there will be no unfairness exhibited toward the Pennsylvania member. Upon the or ganization of the next house depends not only the political prominence of Mr. Randall, but the question of pro tection against free trade, and know ing the determination of tho majority oi lJemocrats to enect a sweeping tariff reduction, the protectionists are not likely to give their adversaries any advautage. T. M. C. A. COXTESTIOX AT TIIE DALLFS. The Astoria delegates returning from the convention of the Y'onng Men's Christian association of the Pacific northwest, held at The DalJed from the 22d to the 25th inst, report a very successful and rdeasant con vention. The chairman of tho state committee called the convention to order at 10 o'clock Friday morning. The following officers were elected: President, A. G. Ansell of "Spokane Falls, W. T.; first vice president, J. T. Ross of Astoria, Or.; second vice president, W.Austin of New West minster, B. C: third vice president, Thos. P.Boyd of Salem, Or.jsecre tary, G. A. Charnock of Astoria, Or. A number of excellent papers were read by the delegates, which were well received. J. T. "Ross nf Adfnria read a paper on "The Social Work of, tue Association." Rev. G. C. Hall contributed a paper on "The Relation of the Association to the Church," which was followed in an able speech oy .Kev. j. Mcuormac. The general secretary of our local association read a paper on "Association Work in Small Towns. Papers were also read on '-The Educational Work," "Tho Board of Managers Their Dutiei," "Association Work How Carried Out," "The General Secretary," "Boys' Work," "Training Class "A Successful Gymnasium" and "Col leire Work." On Fridnv fivernntr TTn. jor Joseph Hardie addressed a public meeting on "A .Business Man s View of Association Work." The sneaker said the first thing a bnsiness man asked was "will it pay?" As a busi ness man he thoucrht it was nnvlnir when carried out on conect business principles. He advised associations always to get their money before pending it. He said he never knew an association fail to tret financial support if they did a good honest work. Twenty-one associations rpnnrfpl to tho convention, nnd fourteen nn. ciatious were represented by 58 dele gates. There are now 24 associations in the Pacific northwest. Over $1,200 were raised in con von. tiou for state work, and a travelincr secretary is to be engaged immedi ately. ,igut hundred dollars was raised on Sunday evening for the lo cal work at The Dalles. The next convention will bo held in Seattle. The clo3incr exercises of tlifionnvon. tion were very interesting. After singing "Blest be the tie that binds," with hands clasped around the church, i. .. :;j-i. .i i j xi. r i. ' iuc i-ueaiuuiii, uuuiiiruu. me louriu an nual convention of the Pacific north west associations adjourned. The value of these conventions to the work of the associations can scarcely be overestimated. New ideas of tho work are gained by association men and new courage to put them in to execution. These organizations are probably doing as much to bene fit the class for which they exist as any otheragency in the county. English Salmon Market The London Orocer, Sept. 3, says: "Stocks in London are exhausted, and the supplies needed here have to be drawn from Liverpool, where ex treme rates are demanded, say 29s per case for Columbia river fish, and 25s Cd for Frazer and outside river packs: but no activity can be said to exist.' The Liverpool correspondent of the Urocer writes as follews: "This market is very firm, and steady sales continue in spite of the high prices ruling. The catch is extremely short and large contracts fall throngh en tirely, as the eastern states take all that has been packed, and many packers only promise to deliver sur plus, which is now nil" Tho London Grocer's Qazet te says their Liverpool correspondent writes as follews: "Salmon We have to report a very firm and active market, and thus far there are no apparent signs of the advanced prices having affected consumption; both retailers and dealers are continually aud regu larly replenishing their supplies, and as they are merely buying for their immediate necessities, tho volume of trade now doing proves conclusively how bare the general market is of stock."
