The ship Varuna is lying at the
0. E. & N. dock anxiously waiting
for 350 tons lighterage to complete

ing several days, in order to get ready

continue to enjoy the monopoly, it
onght to have boats and barges suf

patch. CapL Dan Graham has sold lot? 1

cash in hand. Captain Graham says
he has saved his railroad assessment

has received on this sale. This is a
practical demonstration of the fact
that ono should spend money to make

The council committee oh streets
and public ways have materially im
proved the approaches and descents
at the corners of the north side of
the custom house square by nutting
in steps less steep and inclined planks
to render the ascent or descent more
gradual, and also by putting a new
light at the northeast corner. Of
coarse it will never be right until the
streets are all 'brought up to the
grade, but this is a great improve
ment and will perhaps prevent the
occurrence of some serious accident.

Mr. M. C. Crosby, one of the direct
ors, and Mr, Henry B. Thielson, chief
engineer, of the Astoria and South
Coast Railway Co., went down to
Ulatsop plains last Tuesday morning
and returned yesterday. This special
mission was to interview all tne par
ties owning property through which
the survey line of tho road .has been
located, who had not ns yet granted
the right of way. They report having
me; witn gratifying success. Witn
but few exceptions, reasonable and
satisfactory terms were agreed upon
with all the parties interviewed, and
there seemed to be no disDosition on
the part of any one, wilfully and pur
posely, to binder the construction of
the road. This is as it should be.
If any one will be immediately bene
fited by the enterprise, it will be the
property owners between Trullinger's
farm and Seaside.
Henry Sample, n colored waiter.
employed at the Occident hotel, was
arrested last evening and lodged in
the city jail for cutting a couple of
Chinamen, employed at the same
place. It appears that Sample com
plained of the dilatoriness of the
cook in filling his orders, whereupon
tne cook lost uis temper and angry
words were passed between the two,
culminating in an attack by the Chi
naman on the waiter with a large
knife. A general scrimmage ensued,
in which two other Chinamen
rushed to the -help -of their chiof.
Overpowered by numbers. Sample
seized a cleaver, with which he
struck his antagonist on the head
and one of his other assailants'onthe
arm, he himself having a narrow es
cape from a murderous cut from a
knife, which fortunately only pro
duced a skin deen wound in his neck.
The combatants were then parted and
fortunately none seriously hurt.

THE XAQUINA BAT.
Corvallis, Dec. 13. A Gazette spe
cial from nu Oregon Pacific official
dated Yaqnina, 950 o'clock this morn
ing, says: "The condition of the
steamship Yaquina Bay has not ma
terially changed since yesterday.
Heavy seas are breaking over the
ship nt every tide, gradually washing
off the upper works. The ship's hull,
engines, rudder and wheel appear to
be standing the strain splendidly.
Diving apparatus will be used as
soon as cessation of heavy seas per
mit engineers to locate the spot where
the water obtains access to the en
gine room and fire room; then efforts
will be made to effect temporary re
pairs to enable the ship to bo pumped
out and floated off. Of course,
all depends upon the weather,
and so far, since Sunday night
there has been comparatively
no cessation of strong winds and very
heavy seas. Very powerful pumping
apparatus is at hand and both the
liesolute and Favorite jltq in con
stant readiness and attendance.
A FATAL AFFBAT.
Sah Beknabdino. CaL. Dec 13.
Soon' after the NationaLBank opened
tnis morning two strangers from Ari
zona entered, and one presented a
check and asked ' that it be cashed.
H. Morse, cashier, told him he would
nave to be identified. AYotOs-foK
volverandHhot Morse ' through thS.? j5.iP;3&J'M
body. Morse returned fire, pntting
two bullets into his assailant. Six or
seven shots were fired, when the
strangers ran, bnt were arrested and
lodged in jaiL It 'is thought that
Morse and his assailant will both die.
One shot struck O. W. Filkins. of
Biverside, who was in the bank, but
his watch saved his life, It is be
lieved the men entered the bank with
the design of robbery. Cashier
Morse died half an hour after the
shooting. The man who did tho
shooting gives tho name of John
Oakes, bnt refuses to talk. It is naid '
that the third man, who has nol .jet
been arrested, was seen trying t be
side door of the bank while' shooting
was going on. Oakes was shot iu the
arm, ear and back, but it is believed
that none of his wounds are serious.
Later investigation .shows that
Oakes has lived hero a month, work
ing for a railroad company. Nino
shots were fired before Morse fell.
Oakes has lotters showing that he
has recently been in the insane asy
lum iu Nevada. The man who went
to the bank with him was n deputy
Bhoriff from Arizona. There is in
tense excitement here over the affair,
as Morse was very popular. He leaves
a wife and three children, nu aged
mother and brother. There was some
talk of lynching, but the law will
probably take its course, as
the
doctors havo pronounced Oakes
sano at the time of the shootiug.
