DEATU OF JUDGE J. W. MOFFIT.
J. W. Moffitt. who has been an in
mate ot St. Mary's hospital for about
a year, died yesterday morning at 8
ooloofc, agedb3 jears. The funeral
will be from the hospital at ISO this
afternoen: the interment at Ulateon,
Joab W. MofHtt was one of the
pioneers of Clatsop county, ooming
here from Indiana with his wife
about the year 1848. He settled on
what is known as the MofHtt dona
tion land claim, located between tho
south and east fork of the Walluski
at the head of steamboat navigation,
where he made bis home for some
thirty years. His children wero six
in number, four daughters and two
son1. Two of the daughters are
dend, namely: the wife of Jas. A.
Cook, and Captain P. E. Ferchen's
first wife. '1 wo are living in Califor
nia, one Deing the wife of Ira AIc
Kean. who is a brother of S. T. Mc
Kean, of this city, the other, Mrs.
Electra ,. Beyiuetou and Da
vid were the names ot the two sons.
The latter is dead, and the former is
believed to be living in Washington
territory.
Mrs. Captain Wes. Whitcomb is a
granddaughter and there are many
others, relatives, whose names do not
occur to the writer.
He was an active and influential
Mason, and it is believed 13 the last
of the ten charter members of Tem
ple Lodge No. 7, A. F. and A. M., of
this city, which was organized Nov.
24, 1853. The following names ap
penras charter members:
Freeman Farnswortb, Henry Mar
tin, H. B. Somers. H. S. Aiken. J. B.
Marlin, W. 8. Spratt, Thos. Good
win, John Hunt, J. W. Moffit, R. M.
Moore. He was elected and served
as treasurer of the Lodge till 1S55
and was master of the Lodge for
three terms, 1856, '64, '66. He was a
zealous member of his lodge, and the
weather was never too severe or the
roads too difficult to prevent his un
failing attendance on Lodge night.
He was influential as a citizen, and
held the office of county judge for
two terms from 1854 to '68. He was
also a member ot the legislature. As
a politician he. was the acknowledged
leader of Clatsop county Dpmooraoy.
He possessed considerable ability as
a public speaker, and was unusually
entertaining In conversation. His
wit, and humor, apt and ready quota
tions of prose and poetry, always held
a crowd of interested listeners. Old
timers who read these lines will recall
the-names ot those who used to gath
er at Capt Kippen's, in the Monitor,
or in Megler's old Astoria Honse to
listen to his entertaining speech.
In religion he was inclined to the
liberal view ot the Universalist belief
and was fond of quoting lines from
Burn's that were in sympathy with
hiB views.
His wife died about ten years ago,
and for several years past 'his mind
has been weak so that he has been
unfit for business, and the recolleo
tion of his former activity and useful
ness was fast fading away.
To-day many ot his friends and for
mer associates will follow him to his
last resting place.

CHINESE HIGHBINDERSIIUST-GO.
As might be expeoted the Chinese
fight of Sunday,afternoon"has stirred
up considerable feeling, says the Ore
gonian, not alone among the white
nannla Knf nmnnrr ihn Hoffnr nlnQ nf
Chinamen themselves. Thero are '
Chinese merchants in the oity who
ore just as anxious, to ferret out tbe
perpetrators of these, foul murders,
and forever break up all highbinder
societies, as are the best citizens of
Portland. The Chinamen well know
tho consequences they would be
called upon to meet had even .one
white person fallen a victim to their
reckless fusilade of Sunday .after
noon; anS they also well know What
is in store fot them if "such an 'event
is allowed to Acoocigain.. 1-
The-Chinese business men and
merchants will .unite and give' the'1
authorities every assistance in their 1
power to .accomplish tbe' work of
breaking up' all highbinder societies.
The name of every highbinder society.
-with' its location, were given chief
Parri8h'and"the warof extermination
will soon oommence." The"-Chinamen
are all agreed that aotive steps should
be taken at once. Notices will be
posted on every door1 of 'these high-'
binder headquarters ordering them to
disband, within five "days. These
notices will be printed in the Chinese
language, and, in addition to the seal
of the Joss house -jcompany, will
bave the endorsement ot mavor
Deliasbmutt and chief of police
i'arnsu. 'inns omoiaiiy endorsed, -these
notices will carry .the weight ot
coming from the highest authorities.
If this order, is not obeyed within tho
specified five days, it every sign is' not
taken' do wn-from their headquarters
and every other evidence ot the ex
istence ot these societies destroyed,
the law will, take its course. The po
lice will' commence to" arrest every
highbinder in-the -city. The names
will be furnished by this protective
organizationof.Ohinese business men
and there will thus be no chance for
any to escape detection.
The black list will be made out at
once, and every liighbinder will be
placed behind the prison bars. This
course of action baa received the
sanction ot tho. leading Chinese mer
chants ond-there will be no difficul
ties encountered, in carrying it into
execution. ---.-"
