one of tho coaches on the way to
Alderbrookj the horse had a deep cut
" Til ftsT&dy.-and'the" rider was thrown

passing over his side and inflioting
painful but not serious injuries.
A couple of nines from the newly
organized baseball club was picked
out last Sunday and had their first
game at Alderbrook. The grounds
are not yet in good condition but are
'boon expected to be, and after a little
practice the "boys will extend a friend

that on the 21th inst, Booth's boat
No. 20 went into a fish trap at Baker's

Kemila, and his boat puller, were
both drowned. The boat puller,
whose name could not be'ascertained,

Captain Pohlman of the steamer
Oregon has Just completed his two
hundred and fiftieth round trip to
the Columbia river. During the time
he has had command of the Oregon
not an accident has occurred. The
total distance he has travelled,reckon
ing 1350 miles to the round trip, is
337.500 miles, or a little over thirteen
and a half times the distance round
the world.
Fred Strong, president of the Port
land and Coast Steamship company,
has bonght the Alliance for the use
ot his company. She is expected to
be here about June 15th and will im
mediately go into business. Astori
ans will remember the Alliance as
the Emma Hume built here by the
Astoria & Coast Transportation com
pany in 1884, and which after a series
of adventures, will now come near
fulling her original mission.
Mishaps on the river, though not
so numerous as in some former years,
are still sadly frequent Henry Mat
eon whose death outside the bar was
previously announced, leaves a wife
and three children in Union town;
nothing has yet been heard further
from August Tano, and John Heik
kila, who are now missing for over a
week. The body of Jno. Wnydie.who
was drowned at Clifton last Saturday
evening, was given interment yester
day.
A recent circular from the general
land office gives the following new
ruling in reference to making final
proefs: "Heretofore final proofs in
'homestead, pre-emption and com
muted homesteads were taken before
the judge, or, in his absence, the
clerk of any district court Hereafter
only, final homestead proofs will be
allowed to be taken before such
judge or clerk, and the notices of in
tention to make such proof must
specify whether such proof is a com
muted homestead or otherwise."
The American bark Julia Foard
was lost in Karluk bay, Alaska, April
25th. She sailed from Astoria April
12th with a careo of canning material
for the Karluk cannery. On her ar
rival anchor was dropped, and prepa
rations made to disobarge the cargo
and land about forty Chinese passen
gers, who were engaged for tho can-
nery. About noon a heavy storm
from the northeast' came up, and it
appeared that unless the vessel cnnlfl
heave off shore and tack to get off
ine dangerous rocks on shore, she was
in imminent danger of being wrecked.
The anchor chain was hove short,
and the yards backed ready to tack,
when a heavy swell sent the Foard
against the treacherous rocks, filling
the lower hold. The storm increased
in violence, but with assistance from
the Karluk village, all hands were
rescued, numbering about forty peo
ple, including the crew. The bark
Pope and the steamer Karhik were
anchored near the Foard, but did
not sustain any damage. Most ot the
cargo was saved. The same evening
the remnants of the bark on the
beach were sold for $50. The hull
was completely broken and very
utile rigging could be found. .The
passengers were uninjured and saved
all their personal effects. All of the
crew excepting the mate and steward
left Earluk on May 14th in the
schooner Francis Alice for San Fran
cisco. This disaster is a serious loss
to several Astorians who were largely
interested in the enterprise.
The London Grocer of May 5th
says : salmon must again be considered
dearer, and the conviction is gaining
ground that consumers must either
pay the full advance or go without
the fish. Nothing of a desirable
character is to be had under 28s per
case, and anything at a lower figure
is not of good value for the money.
Alaska salmon, which is to be had in
fair quantities, is euennt: at 27s to
27s Cd, but although improved in the
curing, they are not so oily as the
Frazer or Columbia river fish, and for
this reason are not generally liked.
There is also a quantity of "fall" sal
mon on offer at the same pi ices as
those just quoted, but being of a
white complexion, it is not admired,
and fastidious or overcareful dealers
would not recommend it to every pur
chaser's notice. Advices from San
Francisco are as inflated as ever, and
prognosticate a higher range of prices
as the season advances. The ship
pers there only laugh when they hear
the English dealers say that it is im
possible for them to give much more
money for what they require, and re
ply by saying that it is equally impos
sible for the packers to supply the
preserved salmon for less than they
do already: while the fishermen them
selves say that, considering that they
are daily risking their lives in the
pursuit of their calling, they cannot
and will not work for nothing, which
they would bo doing if the present
rate of wages were to be reduced; so
that altogether the position ot sal
mon must be regarded as a rather
embarrasing one.

NEW TOfiK AM) INDIANA.
To Supply The Democratic Nominees.
Cleveland and Thnrnian Said To Be The
Chosen Candidates,
All Hope of Gen. Sheridan's Recovery
Abandoned.
Philadelphia, May 28. The
Times to-day says the Democratic
ticket to be placed in nomination at
the St Louis convention will be for
president Grover Cleveland, for vice
president, Allen G. Thurman of Ohio.
Thurman has agreed to auow jus
name to be presented and the nomi
nation will be tendered him with his
fnll knowledge and approbriation and
that of the leaders of the party throng
out the country. Congressman Sam
Randall said yesterday, "Ex-senator
Thurman will undoubtedly" be Hern
iated for vice-president, He is agreed
upon by everybody is willing to ac
cept the nomination .and is the best
and strongest man that can be placed
on the ticket."
The mention of Thurman name it is
believed "will result in there being but
two ballots taken in the national con
vention, first for the president and
second for vice-president
The south has no candidate but will
support New York's choice which will
be Thurman.
Pennsylvania and Ohio will join
hands with New York and that will
be enough to nominate. "With Thur
man on the ticket the Democrats will
feel perfectly safe about Indiana and
will expect to keep the Republicans
busy with preventing him from run
ning away with Ohio.
BIO RAINFALL.
Chicago, May 28. An almost un
precendented water fall was reported
yesterday throughout the west at
Quincy, Ills., 26 inches or rain fell
in less than four hours greatly dis
couraging the people in the flooded
districts. Great damage is done by
hail, wind and lightning extending
from Indiana to Nebraska. The
streams are over their banks and a
waterspout which broke in the north
western part of Dames county Ne
braska, submerged five miles ot track
on the Tremont, Elk Horn & Msssou
ri Valley railroad and washed away
numerous bridges. Tho damage
along White and Lone Tree rivers is
very great. White river rose sixteen
inches in forty minutes and farmers
had to abandon their homes, many of
which were washed away. No loss of
life is reported.
DISPUTED IAND.
AniKaDE.v, Va., May 28. Engineers
of the Tennessee Steel awl Irou Co.,
while surveying in Wise county on
tho 23th, were attacked by a body of
men in ambnsh and two of tho party
were killed. A company of guards
which had been employed to protect
the engineers were driven off and
routed. Great trouble is expected
and settlers of the neighborhood have
given warning to the engineers to
leave at once. The cause or the
trouble is a dispute over the posses
sion of land which tooth the settlers
and the company claim.
A Sl) ACCIDENT.
Beiilin, May 23. While workmen
were engaged in alterations iu the
Royal theater the scaffold collapsed,
killing one and seriously injuring six,
and slightly wonnding sevon" work
men. The empress visited the scene
of the accident ond contributed to
ward the relief of the sufferers.
STILL DISCUSSING FULLER.
WAnsiNQTON, Mny 28. Tile senate
committee on judiciary this mernint:
considered the nominatiou of M. V.
Fuller for chief justice of the United
states supreme court, but did not
reach any conclusion. It was decided
to held a special meeting on the case
next Tuesday, at which it is expected
tho matter will be discussed.
PROBABLE INDICATIONS.
Portland, May 28. An investiga
tion to-day into railroad matters
seems to indicate beyond a doubt
that the O. R. & N. Co. intend to build
a road this summer to Spokane Falls
and the Coour d'Alene mines.
ALL hope abandoned.
Washington, May 28. The
from Gen. Sheridan is to the
latest
effect
thai he is still alive but all hope is
abandoned. Oxygen is administered
constantly and only in that way can
life be sustained.

MEETING AT WESTPORT.
Westport, Oregon, May 27, 1888.
Daily Asterian: A large and en
thusiastic meeting of the citizens of
Westport and vicinity assembled here
to-night The speeches of Messrs
I'UHon, iianaga and Watson were
cheered to the echo. Protectionists
are springing up in every direction
and great interest is felt in the suc
cess qf the Republican party in June.
CANDIDATES AT JEWELL.
Jewell, May 25. 1888.
Daily Asterian: According to
announcement George Noland and J.
H. Smith filled their appointment at
this place. The people turned out
en masse, meu women and children.
They made pointed, logical and even
elegant speeches. They handled the
tariff question well. If thoy do as
well in other places as they did here,
which I have no doubt they will, they
certainly will be elected by a hand
some majority. If the ladies had a
voto ine ooys wouiu get a rousing
majority nere.

Their Business Booming.
Probably no one thine has caused such
a general revival of trade at Jno. C. De-
meni's urug store as ineir giving away
to their customers of so manv f tpp. t rini
bottles nf Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Couglis, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by getting
a trial bottle free, large size Si. Every
bottle warranted.

city is done at Crow's gallery.
SEATTLE SELECTED.
Tho Next Firemen's Tournament To Be
Held at Seattle.
When the directors of the North
western firemen's association held
their meeting at Portland last -Sep-
lemDer tne question of "where shall
the tournament of '88 be held?" came
up for discussion. As Astoria. Al
bany, Salem and Vancouver have had
tne tournament, this city having
been twice honored, It was' obvious
that some other place ought to have
a show. Portland parties made rep
resentation .that it the tournament
were located at Portland this year
that 83,000 would be hung up for
prizes. After some consideration the
directors decided that at Portland it
would be. a
. When they went Jo Portland on
lUBKimnsi,, 10 aeciae upon aate or
tournament, number and amount of
prizes, etc. the directors found that
so far Portland's promised subscrip
tion amounted to 168.70. This
made some ot the directors a
little surprised, andit was finally de
cided that-the finance committee be
given ten days time to get 82,000 to
gether, that being 81,000 les3 than
was promised.
liut ten days elapsed and .Portland
failed to be able to get 82,000 to
gether for an entertainment that
would net her 825,000.
Yesterday P. W. Weeks, of this city,
received a telegram from Gard. Kel
logg, of Seattle, president of the
board of directors, saying that Se
attle had set aside 82,000 for the
tournament.
It seems that so soon as Seattle
found out that unless Portland put up
r.i of what she promised the tourna
ment would golelsewhere, that city in
ten minutes raised the necessary 82,
000, and will get the tournament, for
as soon as lightning could get the
answer back Weeks sent word that
the tournament would be at Seattle.
The present proposition is to hold
the convention July 2nd and 3rd.
and the tournament the 4th, 5th and
Gth. This is not yet definitely set
tled, as to date but it is definitely
settled that Portland has lost the
opportunity, by reason of failure or
inability to scrape a couple ot thous
and dollars together, and that the
seventh annual tournament ot
the Northwestern firemen's associa
tion will be held at Seattle.
An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af
flicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word, Malaria was com
paratively unknown, to-day it isjas
common ns any woi;d in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are" intended "to cover what
onr grandfathers called Billiousness,
nnd all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition ot the
Liver which-in performing its. func
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
h.ln thrnnch tlm nnlinnrv nlmnnpl ia
compelled to pass it ofji through the
system, causing nervous trouoies,
Malaria, Billious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate

Port Townsend, W. T., May 26.
The trouble between the Sailors'
union nnd tho shipping men horo is
about at a culminating point. The
ship Sumatra is lying in the bay
lumber laden, bound for a coasting
voyage. Mr. Rothschild, agent Tor
the Ship Owners' association, had ob
tained a few men, paying 810 per
month, when the union men refused
to Jet them go on board, and forcibly
took one man off the vessol to-night.
As the same man was about to board
the vessel, having expressed his de
sire to go, he was forcibly taken from
the citizens who accompanied him,
and rushed to the union office and
locked up. The citizens nre aroused,
and propose to make an examplo ot
those engaged jp. the lawless act. The
town is almost in a state of riot, and
trouble may occur.
The town is completely in the
hands of the union mob, and the city
and county officers appear to be en
tirely helpless.

A great amount of political engineer
