The ".Didn't I tell you so's" kept still yesterday when the water came and the pipe-line was demonstrated to be a success. At the New York Novelty store this morning reserved seats for Emer son's minstrels next Monday night. First come, first served. The Ellensburgh Capital, Col. A. N. Hamilton's new paper, is received. It is full of sparkle, and news, vim and originality, and has success stamped on every-line of it. A cedsus of Asdoria at the present tibe would showrhat abut ted per sons out of every nide are suffering frob a biserable code 'id the head. Sneezy thig to -catch, a code is. In China, when the emperor is mar ried, ihe streets have to be put in perfect repair, as a preliminary cere mony. It is needless to say that As toria is not China, and that no em peror is on the eve of matrimony here. In the case of the nine men arrest ed at Gray's harbor on a charge of breaking and destroying fish traps, the conrt, at Tacoma, last Monday overruled the writ of habeas corpus and remanded the prisoners to the custody of the shenff of Chehalis county. The appraisement of the sealing schooners which were seized in the Behring sea have been made prepara tory to their being sold. The value of the Challenge is placed at S3,600; the W. P. Sayward at S3,89i.50; the Grace 810,401; the Allie. I. Alger, S5.40S; the Annie, 81,170.20; the Lily L 81,784; the Ada, 2,900; the Al pha, 8800; the Kate and Anna, 81, 250. The total valuation is 842,651.70. The cases of the others are not as yet decided. One of these schooners, the Grace, is bringing $75,000 worth of sealskins from Sitka, which will be sold. - Mr. E. H. Walker, for many years statistician of the New York Produce Exchange, has joined the editorial staff of Bradstreefs, the well-known commercial and financial newspaper published in New York, to which he will give his exclusive services. Mr. Walker is perhaps the best informed man in the country on the statistics of grain, flour, provisions, live stock and kindred lines. He is the author of the only complete records of this kind in the country, and the inventor of the "visible" grain supply state ment. With his aid, in addition to the original work in that direction which BradstreeVs has done and has projected, that journal must become indispensable to all interested in those subjects.

Flames were ris ing from the steamer Gleaner, lying at Wilson & Fisher's dock, and when the department got there, whioh was in a very few minutes, the house and after cabin were in a blaze. The fire appears to have caught around the bo iler and though quickly subdued, damaged the boat to the extent of about 8350, without insurance- The boat is owned by Peter and Jacob Jordan, and is worth about 83,500. About the time Twos had a stream on, the fire bell rung again and the ory was raised that there was another fire up town, which fortunately proved to be a false alarm. lecture on the Human Face.

The first se rious natural gas explosion in this city in two years occurred this morn ing in the hotel Albemarle and iiijou theater block.

The concussions shook the buildings for squares and broke ev ery plate glass wiud.ow in the block. Almost instantly the flames shot up from various parts of the block, but before they gained much headway they were controlled by the prompt work of the fire department. Eight persons were seriously hurt, some fa tallv, and at least as many slightly hurt. WILL PBKSS MATTEKS. New Yobk, Oct. 19.

No. One's engine attached at the corner of Chenamus street and No. Two's at the end of the line, just north of Squemoqua. It was a new idea and a large crowd gathered to see "what it would do," some be ing rather inclined to doubt the practical working of the lina All doubts were quickly dispelled. In four minutes both engines were throwing water, and subsequently a second line of hose was coupled on to No. Two's engine and three streams were playing. After repeat ed and satisfactory trial, Two's en gine was housed and No. One's en gine stationed at the end of the line. When both engines were pumping, the stream - from No. One's showed the presence of air. Whether that was due to the first trial, and that air was admitted, or whether the suction pipe between the line and the engine leaked was not wholly determined; what was clearly shown, however, is, that Astoria has solved the problem how to get a ready and adequate supply of water for fire. This has long been a serious question and to those who conceived the plan and put it into practical execution, is due the resultant credit So many times, during a fire has the water sup ply been inadequate, that it has long been evident that the department could not de pend upon the tide for a supply: cis terns were suggested, but they would be costly to build and keep in repair, and would require filling. This line fills from the river, is four feet fur ther out than the lowest low tide, is always ready, and is practically ever lasting. After the engines stopped yester day examination showed that there was water in the pipe its entire length. Had there been a fire anywhere in the vicinity water could have been put on the blaze immediately. The system is not perfect, but now that the experiment has been tried and found satisfactory, it is believed that subsequent experience will make it a source of great convenience to the department and insure additional safety to tho city. This is the first pipe-lino in the stato and is believed to be tho only continuous suction pipe-line on tho J coast The pipe is eight inches, thus hav ing an area of 50K inches: the suc tion pipes of the engines are four and five inches, thus theoretically demon strating that the pipe carries suffi cient water to supply both engines. . . A British Bugle Blast. New York, Oct 15. The World's Halifax special says: Great interest attaches to the approaching depart ure from this port of the schooner Houlette for the Alaska seal fisheries. The Houlette, for two years has been employed ns a Canadian fisheries cruiser, and was the vessel that ef fected the capture of a Province town schooner, the Highland Light, which was confiscated for fishing in side the limit in Prince Edward Isl and waters. Captain Grant, a Nova Scotian, who is extensively engaged in the Alaskan seal fisheries, from Victoria, JB. C., came all the way to Halifax to purchase vessels to en gage in that fishing. He says there are eighteen British Columbian ves sels sealing in Alaskan waters, and their catch aggregates half a million dollars yearly. Ho denounces in vin lent language the action of the Vuil ed States government in capturing Canadian vessels, and alleges brutal treatment of the Canadian fishermen taken prisoners, which, he says, is nothing but retaliation for Canada's strict enforcement of her treaty rights in Atlantic waters. But Captain Grant says he will teach the Yankees a lesson, if any at tempt is made to capture the Hou lette. He is arranging to obtain can non and a complete outfit of small arms and army ammunition, similar to that carried by the Houlette while in the fishery service. Her comman der, Carr, is now in Cape Breton, se lecting a picked crew from among the raw-boned. Highlanders of Cape Bre ton. Duncan McDonald, who was gunner of the Houlette, a dare-devil fellow, who served with distinction in the late southern campaign, will form one of the crew. Grant says he is going out to take seals on the open sea, and if any American cutter at tempts to interfere with him or his vessel, he will fight If England will not protect her Pacific fishermen, they will show her that they are able to take care of themselves. Captain Grant is a determined-looking man, who has already led a wild life, sail ing the South Pacific and Chinese seas. He commanded the clipper ship Louisa Hatch when she was captured and burned by the Ala bama. A Gilt for All.

Iu Brief, and to The Point. Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good nature. The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and wonderful things in existence. It is easily put out of order. Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and" nany other things which ought not to bo, have made the American people a na tion of dyspeptics. But Green's August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy. Remember: No happiness without health. But Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents. Xext Thins To It.
