In the police court yesterday J. W. Danlap, charged with assault and battery, was fined $5. Wm. De3aret, a carpenter, at Albi no, aged 25, was run over by a train of cars, la3t Tuesday, and instantly killed. In going to Nehalem via Seaside the trail now goes by way of Nelson's, being three miles and n half shorter than the old trail. The Albiua dry-dock has been pumped out, found to be in vety sat isfactory condition, and will be put m complete working order. Co. "II"., O. N. G., had their drill in their new armory hall evening. Quarterly inspection be nest Wednesday evening. first last will The steamer Margey is unloading sand, cement and brick for Capt. Fla vel'a three-story brick building, cor ner Cass and Chen am us streets. The steamor Gen. Miles' repairs are nearly completed, and is no.v expect ed to bo ready to sail for Gray's Har bor on the 27th or 28th with passen gers and freight. Tho Cit y Front Gazette says that Al. Stream has a pension of 850 a year from Queen Victoria for gallan try in saving vessels' crews wrecked at Shoalwater bay in '31. If he hadn't, he onght to have. The Portland Mechanics' fair of '8S will begin on Thursday, October 4th. This fixes the dato for the next ses sion of the Columbia Waterway con vention a3 Tuesday, Oetober 9th, be ing the fourth annual session of that body. As the month rolls by, the number of canneries that will not run grows smaller and smaller. Those that are now mentioned are the "Washington, the Seaside, the I. X. L. and tho An glo-American, and it is by no menus positive regarding even these. Very few cans havo been made this season, owing principally to the non arrival of tin-laden vessels, four of which are now about due. One spot lot of 1,500 cases at San Francisco, SG.23 was paid: to arrive commands S5.73. There is very little, compara tively, on the river. While at'work sawing off tho piles at the foundation of thenewDeme'nt Fulton building yesterday, Jos. Mo Cann sustained a painful accident,' a stick falling and breaking his left arm. This arm was broken while coasting down West Eighth street a short time ago, and was hardly knit together when rebroken. The'efficiency of oil, when dropped on the water to calm boisterous waves, may now be regarded as established. It is astonishing how small a quantity of oil will answer the purpose. Ad miral Clone gives the amount as from two to three quarts an hour dropped from perforated bags hanging over the sides ot the ship in positions varying with tho wind. Now that nearly all the hasty de tainers ot Astoria have been heard from in Portland, it is in order for H. B. M.'s representative, Sir James Laidlaw, Y. C., to do the crawfish act All the others have retracted and taken it back and said it was a no such thing, and aro to bo given credit for so doing, wuy liesitatest tnen: uen tie Laidlaw tell us why! It is estimated that the mills on the Pacific coast produced tho following amounts of lumber during 1887: Washington territory COO.OOO.OOO feet Oregon 300.000,000 feet, California 400.000.000 feet, all other mills 70,000,- 000 feet: total. 1.370.000.000 feet. This showing is one of great development since 1880, when the census gave the cut of the coast at 693,000,000 feet, and tho showing of California was nearly twice that ot Washington ter ritory. ' The grappling crew on board tho O. K. got hold of tho cable on tho Wash ington Bideyesterday. but the steamer broke down and further operations had to be postponed till repairs are made. Serg't Griffin has npparatus aboard to test the wire as it is taken np. Should the present effort prove ineffectual, it is probable that ar rangements will bo made for tho lay ing of a new cable. In such case it should be laid farther np stream, Bway from ships' usual anchornge ground. A few days ago Bev. Ladiens died in Powell's valley. It seems that he was pastor o a small congregation there and it was thought by the mem bers of tho society that their pastor woum come to Iito again, or rather, after appearing dead for some time, would revive and take charge of his flock, and with a great blessing revo lutionize the world. But after tedious waiting the minister seemed to be as dead as ever and they were obliged to givo up all hopes, and so interred their pastor. J. K. Armsby writes to his house frqm San Francisce: "The situa tion on salmon is changing, the packers are stiffening up in prices and packs that could have been sold last week at SI-CO are now firmly held at from $1.63 to 81.70. So many canners are refusing to open at all on the Columbia even at S1.G0, saying that there is not enough money in it even at that to justify commenciug operations, that it has stiffened the backbone of the remaining packers, and prices are advancing as fast as the bsckbone asserts itself."'

A lazy, hungry liar obtained free board in Oregon City thuB: He heard that the owner of a fino farm and grist mills wished to sell. Coming ns n land buyer with untold wealth al his command, he was a welcome guest at his miller's. Tho property having been well canvassed, Mr. Sharper asked the prico. "F-f-fifteeu thou sand dollars." stammered the miller "I'll take it,'' said the stranger. He lived at tho miller's house ns an hon ored guest for about three days and then went to Portland to draw from tho bauks the first payment of $10, 000, but he never returned. Mr. Kennan's Siberian papers, illus trated by Mr. G. A. Frost, who ac companied Mr. Kenuan on hi trip through Asiatic Russia, will begin in the May Century. Their appearance has been deferred on aeconnt of tho author's desire to group in prelimi nary papers the last of which will be in tho April Century an account of the conditions nnd events in Russia directly related to the exile system. This system is now to be minutely described nnd elaborately pictuiod; and by way of preface to the first illustrated paper, Mr. Kennan will, in a brief statement, answer the ques tion as to how he came to enter nnou his arduous and somewhat perilous investigations, and why he and his companion were accorded such extra ordinary facilities bv the Russian government itself. In the April Cen tury Mr. Kennan will write of "The Bnssinn Penal Code." PERSONAL MENTION". J. W. Cook, of Clifton, is going to build n S30.000 house near Albino. W. W. Parker and Geo.

Tho lapping front prevails ia polonaises, and the skirt falls open to the waste alike in back and front. Bibbon in all widths will be tho garniture most affected both for day and evening gowns. Bustles are reduced almost to reasonable dimensions, but the long nnd full-flowing drapery of new skirts gives still an amplo effect. Wide borders nt the foot of skirts grow more and moro in favor, and crossbands for the top of vests rival the ever-prevalent V. Dressy spring toilets will be largely of silk, and moire, faille, franuaise, grosgrain or Bengaline the textures oftenest chosen. The poppy, the peony and the hibis cus run riot in the new brocades, and quite put out ot countenance less majestic blossoms. A very new fashion i3 to put a fold of sharply contrasting color on the foot of foundation skirts, so as to show an inch all round. Tho ugly fashion of showing the selvage extends now to bodices, es pecially those plain at the shoulder and pleated nt the waist lino. For tho summer there is threatenjdd a revival oi gmuu luuaiu in BiiuuKiug plaids that will quite outdo Joseph's coat in the matter ot color. Gimps, galloons and vine passe menterie of metal embroidery, of silk cords and beads ot all hues, are favor ite trimmings for gowns. House gowns of chaille havo loo3e fronts of either shirred Valenoiennes net or else ot surah the same shade, smocked as low as the waist. Box-pleated skirts ot white wool deeply bordered with galloon are put beneath the skirts of many ot the very handsomest colored woolen cos tumes. Woolen polonaises aro often orna mented with moire sash ribbon ten inches wide, cut into vests and revers, and then draped as a sash girdle in a way that is stunning. Many of tho imported ppring wool en gowns have polonaises that givo a priuccssa effect, though the shit is in two parts waist, with attached dra pory and plain skirt. b. Trouble at Port Townsend. On Saturday last, says the Tacoma Ledger ot tho 20th., tho American ship Commodore, Captain Jordan, ar rived at Port Townsend in tow of tug Pilot from Departure bay, where she has been since December 21, 1887, awaiting a cargo of coal. The ship was anchored in the bay and Cap tain Jordan went asboro to secure a few sailors to take tho vessel to Seat tle, where she loads with coal for San Francisco. Assisted by a well known shipping agent ot Port Townsend, the captain hunted all over town for the agent of tho Coast Seaman's union, but being unable to find him thoy finally secured the services of fonr men, who belong to tho union nt S3 each. All hands went aboard tho tug Jf.sfj'cA-, which was to tow the vessel to Seattle, and were just ready to.leavo tho wharf, when a gang of about fifty men, headed by Mike Wall the union agent, rushed down the ivhnrf, and under orders ot Wall, boarded the tug and forced the sail ors to come ashore, their leader de claring the men could not go for less then S7.50 each. Words were fol lowed by blows. Ono of the crew who had shipped becoming very indignant attempted to draw a revolver on Wall, the agent, bnt prompt interference , prevented any serious catastrophe. The remainder of the day the police forco was kept very busy, as fighting among tho sailors was continual. Tho Mastiel; towed the Commodore to Seattle.
