The rate on express matter to the Atlantic coast is now S15 perhnndred lbs. The British bark Archer cleared for Qaeenstown yesterday, with 43 -042 bus. wheat, worth S31.000. The Washington territory legisla ture is about to adjourn, and our northern neighbors are breathing easier. The new boat to be built by the O. R. & N. Co., to run between Portland and this citv. will hft rnllo1 n, o 7.- me Potter. The first cargo of British Colum bia salmon, pack of 1887, arrived at London on the 17th, the vessel being the Titania, which had 33,650 cases. The Madrono, which is to convoy the Manzanita to San Francisco when she gets ready to come up hero had not left San Francisco up to yes terday morning. Capt. Jordan of the Gleaner, will pay S150 reward to parties finding tha wreck of that boat this side Point Ellice, so that she can be reached and her machinery recovered. Walla Walla editors seem to be try ing to see who can say the hardest things about the unprogressive city in whiok they labor. At last ac counts Johnson of the Union was ahead in the unseemly race. The recent ice at Shoalwater bay was a disastrous visitant to the oys ter beds. The ice at low tide settled down on the beds and when it raised the ice took beds, oysters and all and scattered them far and wide. Secretary of state Geo. W. McBride writes from San Francisco that his health has so gratifyingly improved that he is able to greatly enjoy his visit He hopes now to eventually recover the entire use of his leg. Buds are budding on bushes and trees, and the hillsides are taking on a brighter green, this warm moist weather. The aforesaid buds, etc., are as previous as the candidate who is already getting in his work for next June. Wm. LanMretb, of Independence, got angry at his step-daughter last Sunday morning and cut her to death with a knife as she lay in bed. Then he pretended to try to commit suicide by drowning, but was jailed, and may be lynched. The Tacoma Ledger says "the Sound never freezes."- Honors are easy. Neither does the deep blue bay on which Astoria is situate. But the ground over in about by Tacoma froze two feet deep, and here it only froze two inches: there, i.ew: yah ! The Parker house is receiving a thorough overhauling and cleaning; new papering, painting, etc., and un der the experienced management of its proprietor and owner, H. B. Par ker, will shortly be opened for the ac commodation of the traveling public. Persons wishing to attend the hop to be given by the Select Knights on Thursday evening can secure tickets of W. A. Sherman, Herman Wise or H. A. Smith. Swing your partners while you're young. Prof. IJtzinger and his orchestra will furnish choice music. A brickyard, a bonded warehouse, a road to Clatsop, a new roadway, a flour mill, a railroad down the beach to furnish rock to the jetty and sup ply summer travel, something in the way of roads to show for road tax collected, are prominent among the local requirements of '88. Andrew Beierson, a well known resident of this city, died of pneumo nia, from which he had long been a sufferer, at three o'clock la3t Sunday morning, in the 32nd year of his age. The funeral will be to-morrow: the in terment will be at Clatsop for the present: next fall the final interment will be in California, The business men of Astoria owe at least a vote of thanks to J. W. Crow, of Knarjpa, for his unceasing energy t in keeping the line between here and 'that place in something like working condition. Late and early, in snow and flood and storm, he has waded and swam and endured privation in doing what few men would or could do. The Oreaonian reDorts that the piling below the pivot pier of the, Morrison street bridge is a complete wreck. It was broken by ice, and the rise of the river has completed the ruin and it is now a confused mass of timber floating on the surface. The piling above the bridge is badly de moralized, but still holds to the ground. There was some excitement and no little uneasiness yesterday morning over a rumor that there were two cases ot smallpox in the city. Exam ination showed conclusively that each case was measles. There is no s mall pox nearer than Portland, and with usual precaution there is not the slichtest cause for alarm. There are only two cases in Portland and both are under isolated treatment. The epidemic is decreasing in San Francisco. It is credibly reported that a fourth victim is to be added to the list of those drowned by the capsizing of the Oleaner, off Tongue Point, last Saturday. On that fatal trip was a wood-chopper, whose name could not be learned, who was working for Wm. Heudren, of Deep River, and who was missed when the survivors reached home that eventful afternoon. Not till the Seairives nn its ilpnrl will tlin sad truth be known, but it looks now as if four were lost in that dreadful catastrophe. The circuit court room is receiving a renovation that will make a big dif ference in the looks and .comfort of the temple of justice. The sawdust has been banished and with it the fleas, new paper illustrating the God dess of Liberty, has been put on, a new railing for the bar, anew plat form for tho judge, and a new ar rangement for the jury, and the hap less WltnpKSPS hna Ivion Tvioito qntl o new system of seating spectators has ueeu lmrouuceu mat is a consider able improvement on tho old way. On Friday, savs the Cowlitz river Pilot. Thos. D. Ayers shot and killed Eli Joseph, in the woods, twelve miles east of Kelso. Cowlitz rnnntv. Both parties were hunting, and Ayers, seeing what he supposed to be a deer in the brush, fired his Winchester rifles, and shot Joseph clear through both hips. The latter died in seven hours on the spot where he was shot. Immediately after the shooting Ayers Ieft the wounded man with a com panion to go after help, and sent a man living close by, since which time he has not been seen. New York has a singular philanthro pist in the person of H. M. Flagler, one of the Standard oil millionaires. His hobby is big hotel buildings. His latest venture in that line is at St. Augustine, Fla.. and will cost 2,000,000. When asked if he ex pected to make money on the invest ment he laughed and rephed: "No, I am building these hotels as relaxa tion from the cares of busiuesE." Flaggy, old boy. come down here and build two or three railroads for us as a sort of continuation of the relaxa tion. They will give you just as much fun and relaxation .nml will mv you lots better than hotels in Flor ida. The Seattle Press hasn't a very pond onininn nf Pnrrpt KniiTiil nilnfa Talking of the pilot bill now before me wasuingion territory legislature, it says: "The main object of the bill is to Tironnrp. a. rdnss nflinpnap1 Tiilnta competent and responsible, who can uo ouiameu oy ino master ot any ves sel requiring their services, instead of havini? nlnfc of ran.nwjivmmi.nf.Tmra. men, whiskey bums and bar room loafers undertaking the charge of valuable vessels. If the bill is passed there will be no difficulty in obtain ing first class pilots under the new law. Pilots are needed at the en- trnnfifi in Fnna Rtrnitq na flip ronnrlo of the wrecks in that vicinity since me oui puot taw was repealed, amply prove." The bill passed yesterday. " T. S. Wilkes, of Columbia county, in a letter to the Oregoniun, says: "My grand parents arc, I believe, the oldest couple on tho Pacific coast. They live at Greenville, Washington county. Peyton Wilkes wa3 born in 1791, and so will bo 07 years old next May. He is one of the few pension ers of the war of 1812. His wife, An na Wilkes is 91 years old, and they were married in 1815 (in June, I think). They came the plains across in 1845, and settled in Washington county in 181G. They were both born in Bedford county, Virginia, came to Indiana aboutJ1820, and to Missouri in 1839. So in following the star of 'empire they kept ahead of tlie iron horse until he overtook them at the "jumping off place." They have three sons living, twenty-seven grandchil dren, forty-one greatgrandchildren, and eight great-great grandchildren living. PEItSONAIj MENTION. Ashley Bancroft is registered at the Occident.

The News of the 25th says he has sold his salmon pack at satisfactory figures. Ben Young goes to Portland this morning. He has a fine lot in upper town and proposes putting a S6,000 house on it before tho end of '83. Matthew Keith, whom a good many Astorians remember as the proprietor of Keith's oyster house in Portland, was taken to the Salem insane asylum yesterday. J. W. Hare yesterday received a tel egram from California that his littlo daughter, who had been suffering from the measles, was taken suddenly worse. He goes to California on tho Oregon to-day. During his absence Walter Mudge will have charge of tho Silsby. Under date of the 23rd, O.Norcross, of the Knights of Pythias bureau of relief, writes to Will A.

Fresh Taffy Every Xiay At Johnson Brothers' Bakery. A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS. From Tho Land Of The Blizzard. Arguing on the Annexation of Northern Idaho. MuifciE, Iud., Jan. 30. This morn ing the eastward Baltimore & Ohio express came thundering into thecity at a rate of 50 miles an hour and crashed into a freight engine stand ing jnst east of the depot The air brakes on the express were unman ageable and the train could not be checked. Both engines were ruined; alsD two palace cars. The track was torn up for several rods and the gates and station house were smashed to the ground. As if miraculously, no one was hurt except the freight en gineer, who was possibly seriously in jured. The tracks will not be passa ble for ten hours. THE BLOCKADE BROKEN. NewYobk, Jan. 30. The fury of the storms was not spent until Satur day afternoon. The railroads up to that time were completely at their mercy, but the companies began a vigorous fight against the drifts, which ended in a complete victory. Unless more snow falls to-day the blockade of New York by snow is ended. STOCK FROZEN TO DEATH. Rochester, N. Y., Jan. 30. Yester day no idea of the fury of three days' blizzard conld be ascertained on the New York Central. Between Buffalo and Syracuso nearly fifteen carloads of carloads of cattle and hogs, des tined for Boston and New York, were frozen to death near Palmyra, and several carloads at other points. THE USUAIi THING. Chicago, Jan. 30. A long freight train west bound on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad has gone through the bridge two miles of Pine, Indiana. A brakeman named Coulter is the only person killed. The train caught fire and the resultant loss is very heavy. FIRE IK NEW YORK. New York, Jan. 30. One of the largest fires in the city for months broke out in the store of Henry Rod gers & Co., 549 Broadway, early this morning, and damaged and destroyed five adjoining stores. Loss, one mill ion five hundred thousand dollars. AT FORTRESS MONROE. JBortbess Monroe. Jan. 30. The speaker nnd Mrs. Carlisle came ashore this morning from the revenue cutter and visited the fort. The speaker was received with a salute of seven teen guns. BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEE. Washington, January 30. Delegate Voorhees, ot Washington territory, this morning addressed tho senate committee on the territories in snp port of the bill to annex the Pan Handle ot Idaho to Washington ter ritory. Gov Stevenson, of Idaho, op posed tho change. On Friday the committee will hear arguments upon pending measures relating to affairs in Utah. WHAT THE HERALD THINKS. New York. Jan. 30. Everything tms to depend on the point of view m which one looks at the recent meeting of the New York Democratic state committee. The Herald says Davis has fired tho first shot from his ambuscade and brought down that great Ameri can bird, tho goose. It is 'clear ho got nothing else and feels very sick in consequence. A week ago ho was the supposed friend of Cleveland, the trusted champion of the Democrats of the state nnd a suro candidate for governor. His real purpose stands revealed. He is uo longer a friend of Cleveland's. He is distrusted by Democrats and his chances for tho nomination are far from certain. Tho great change in Hill's prospects is brought to light in the confessed at tempt made to capturo the state com mittee last Thursday. FUNERAL. Portland, Jan. 30. Tho funeral of the lato Dr. Wm. H.
