The Oregon sailed for San Francis co yesterday: the State is due this morning. Another large lot of deep sea fish was brought in yesterday, finding ready sale. Remember the fine piano at the Adler residence will be gold to-day at auction without reserve. The Andora with a large load of l.pOOtons of wheat left Portland at nine yesterday morning.

Worsley will offer at public auction all the elegant furniture at the resi dence of Carl Adler, a catalogue of which will be found under the head of "New To-day." In another column is a notice that will be read with interest by many of our readers in Washington territory. The restoration of theN. P. indemni ty lands is about as important a piece of news to them aa they could re ceive. The second of the series of three races between the Volunteer and Thistle takes place to-day; the Volunteer has one horse in now, and if she wins either to-day's race or the one down Sandy Hook next Sat urday "(which is very likely), the America cup will remain on this side old ocean's gray and melancholy waste. There was another row in the vicin ity of the "salvation army" headquar ters last night, eggs thrown and a gas lamp at the corner smashed with a stone. The whole business is a con demned nuisance. If the gang were let alone they would disappear, and the hoodlums who howl in the rear of the "army" are no bettor than the mob they hoot-at. Recently the editor of the Record, at Salmon City, leased a building for five years. When the carpenters were raising and overhauling the building they collected sevornl barrels of dirt which panned out $1,203 in gold 'dust, which had at different times spilled through the floor. It will take a lawsuit to determine to whom the dust belongs. The following, called a rational problem, is going the reunds: A freight train one mile in length stopped with the caboose just oppo site the depot. The conductor got or ders to move his train to the next sta tion, which was just five miles dis tant He gave the engineer the order to move, which the latter did while the conduotor walked over ahead on top of the cars and got there just as the engine arrived at the next station, where he got off. The question is, how far did he walk, or as he 'was walking the entire five miles, did he ride at all? Curiosity and an inquisitive dispo sition are good things to have and will lead the owner to fame if right ly directed, but all the same, the boys would do well tojet the electric wires alone, and not climb the poles to look at them. That has been done in other places, and the funeral that followed the investigation was large ly attended. It was only the other day that a man at Lincoln, Nebraska, came in contact with an electric light wire, and had the flesh burned off his hands. In trying to free himself, the current struck one of his eyes and literally burned it out of his head. PERSONAL MENTION. Judge Briscoe is in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

In the police court to-day all the" members of the salvation army were discharged, the prosecution having failed to make out a case, and accordingly moved for a dismissal of the cases. Word was received by the O. R. & N. officials iu this city to-day that the company's safe at Colfax, W.

Wood, a prominent at torney of Portland, has had his leg fractured at Prineville, Or., by the kick of a horse. Wood was out in a professional capacity with the gov ernment commissioners, looking after the wagon roads, for the con struction of which the government had made extensive land grants. HA.Y STATE BEPUBLICAX3. Boston, Sept 28. The main topic of discussion among the delegates to the Bepublican state convention, which began here to-day, was tha nomination for attorney generalship. It seemed from the outset to be practically settled in favor of Hon. Albert Epplebury, the choice for chairman of the con vention fell vith great unanimity upon F. Kockwell, of Pittsfield. The platform was adopted without a dis senting voice. After the adoption of the platform senator Hoar took the platform and in a brief address nominated Oliver Ames, of Easton, for governor. The convention at once nominated Ames by acclamation. For lieut-goveruor, J. Q. A. Brackett; for secretary of state, H. B. Pierce, and for Btato treasuror, Alausou W. Baird, encountered no opposition. A. J. Waterman was nominated at torney general, after which the con vention adjourned. ON GEBSIAN SOIL. Berlin, Sept. 28. It is stated that the Frenchmen who wero shot last Saturday on the frontier were shot on German soil, this being proved by the bloodstains on the crronnd.

The Germans then fired, all concerned being at the time on German soil. CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS. Tayloi:, F. J., J. Sept. 2-3. State vs. A.
