The Saletn Statesman says: "The
Astoria people waited a long lime for
some one to come along and ' build a
railroad for them. When she went to
work herself in earnest, things began
to move, and she will get out to the
"Willamette valley about as fast as men
and money can locate and build the
road."
The late session laws make it in
cumbent upon all road supervisors to
kill and weed out all Canada thistles
on the roads in their districts, and to
notify all parties that have it growing
on their farms. A failure to do so
subjects the supervisor to a fine of
not less than S30 nor more than S100
for each neglect

the convenience of a line of steamers
to run from Astoria to this place, has
bet-ii begun. A warehouse 40x20 feet
will ornament this dock. A side track
is now being constructed from the
ards to the new dock. Several car
loads of piling have already been
unloaded for the improvement of the

A good many are glad that Sullivan
whipped Kilrain for the reason that
Eiehard K. Fox and a crowd of Eng
lish admirers of ''anybody to beat
Sullivan" have been nagging at Sul
livan for two years and taunting him,
and saying he couldn't fight. Sullivan
flnallshows them how badly fooled
they were, and now they can gtf and
such their, sore paws and tell how the
Boston boy beat their pet.
The telegrams say 72 rouuds were
fought in the Sullivan-Kilrain figh.
This looks like a good many rounds,
but it must be remembered that the
fight was fought Loudon prize ring
rules, and not Marquis of Queens
bury rulo3 A 72 round fight would
take all day Marquis of Queensbury
rules, but could be fought in an hour
according to the Loudon prize ring
rules, which governed the contest
At Seattle one day last week, while
examining the contents of unclaimed
trunks gathered since the fire, in or
dei to find clues to their owners, the
chief of police found a large dynamite
lvinl. heavily chargea and powerful
.to do terrible execution. In
tlit !o . were also found powder, ful
minate of mercury and other explos
ives, besides tools for making infernal
machines. No clue to the owner was
discovered.
Nearh ewrv newspaper that comes
to this office has an account of a local
lire, and in many instances the narra
tive i-hows that at the alaun, and
while there was a chance to put it out,
something was wrong the hydrant, or
the ho&e, or something, and great los3
was the result The moral to us in
Astoria, is to be every ready, to have
all necessities in god condition, and
be able to put the fiie out before it
gets headway.
I am of the opinion," said a busi
ness man, ordering some printing at
The Astomax office yesterday morn
ing, "that good printing is a prettv
ood advertisement fi.ir-a,-maa. to send ;
iva. For this reason 1 want tins
work done as well as you can." The
man was right. A first-class letter,
note head, envelope, etc., speaks well
for the mau sending it, and is a good
business introduction. An inferior
piece of work in the wav of job print
ing invariably makes a bad impression
on the minds of the recipient
The cruiser Charleston is

The Astorian is slightly sorry and
somewhat surprised to see a few state
newspapers falling: into line witli trie
Oregonian aud innocently publishing
the dispatch about the Astoria rail
road that was fondly believed in Port
land to be so baneful to the prospects
of this city. Our estemed contem
poraries who rehash that stuff are aid
ing in the dissemination of falsehood
and are standing in with Portland in
her effort to maintain her grip on the
commerce of the state. Some of our
exchanges with clearer light state the
facts aud show Portland's animus, in
making the wish the- father of the

As the weeks went by since the
opening of the fishing season without
any fatal disaster it was hoped that
one season would pass without any of
the casualties that have in the past
darkened the doors of many a home.
But the first drowning from a fishing
boat occurred nearly opposite Jno. A
Devlin Sc Co's cannery last Sunday
afternoon. The unfortunate man was
named Jno. Gurich, a native of Aus
tria, aged 35 years. The boat was
tacking and as the boom came around
it knocked him overboard. Before
his boat puller could get the boat
around to linn or render him any a3
sistance, he sank. There has been
no drowniug on the bar this season.
In the justice court yesterday Al
fred Inquest was charged with assault
and battery ou Erlaud Lidmire. After
hearing the evidence the case was dis
missed and costs taxed to the prosecu
tion. Geo. Plantich, John Tumnich
and Mike Barcovich were each fiued
$50 for fishing on Sunday, and Ed
Murphy and John Reed were bound
over in the sum of two hundred dol
lars each to appear before the grand
jury also on a charge of fishing on
Sunday. The case of Jake "Wolf for
assault and battery on John McKay
will be tried at 9 o'clock this morning.
The case of Jing Onong for assault
and battery on Ah Sing will come up
at 2 p. m.

John L. Sullivan "Wins the Great Tight
In Seventy-two Hard Fought Hounds.
Budget of Newsy Notes from Portland
New Orleans, July 83:40 r. m.
The first authentic news of the fight
has just been received. Sullivan is
still the champion, having whipped
Kilrain in 72 rounds.
FULL DETAILS OF THE FIGHT.
Eichburg, Miss., July 8. -The first
train arrived here at 550. After
worrying around half the night at
New Orleans, and speculating on the
chances for a fight, the people at
the hotels, clubs and on the
streets moved by common im
pulse to the depot. Down at the de
pot at 1130 there was an indescrib
able crush. It seemed as though
everybody in the city was going to the
fight Every body wanted to get
aboard at the same time. Their
clothes were torn, hats crushed, and
nervous people shocked, but the crowd
finally got through and the trains
were quickly filled.
In the throng were many of the
most prominent, people of the" city, of
business, financial; social and political
character. During the crush pick
pockets tried to get in their work and
one sporting man from the north was
relieved of his watch and chain.
The greatest difficulty was exper
ienced by the management in keeping
the people without tickets off the
train, and a force of detectives was
provided in each car. Some venture
some persons who had no money
risked their lives on the roofs of the
Just before the train was finally
made up Attorney-General Eogers
came aboard with Adjutant-General
Faires and Colonel Clem "Walker, of
the Governor's staff, and stated that
the fight must positively not take
place on Louisiana soil.
At first no answer was made, but
the officials were finally told that the
men would not fight in this state.
It was expected that troops would
appear at the depot, but of two com-
j panies in the city one could muster
but torty men and the other only
about a baker's dozen.
In reply to the governor for train
accommodations for troops the rail
road people replied that they could
not be accommodated since all rolling
stock had been chartered. The gov
ernor was however offered transpor
tation with his men on the regular
train. At 11 30 the first train of
twelve coaches pulled out of the New
Oi leans depot and the conductor and
engineer were given instructions to go
straight through to the battle ground
without stop. Aboard the train in
formation was furnished officially
that both Sullivan oud Kilrain had
reached the battle ground at 030.
There was scarcely any betting on
the train, the passengers simply talked
over the merits of the two men and
slept
On the train were the chief of police
of New Orleans, commissioner of pub
lic buildings, and in fact most of the
prominent officials of the city. At
torney and adjutant-general and
stafFleft at Slidell and stood at the
train way station until morning, wail
ing for the return train. The fight
takes place at Eichburg, ninety-two
miles from Meridian aud one hundred
and three miles from New Orleans.
So perfect are the arrangements
that there are absolutely no fears of
military interference.
Eichburg is virtually owned by Mr.
Bich, and the place covers an area of
1,000 acres, extending over three
counties in Mississippi. The battle
ground is on sawdust and seats 1,500
people.
At the Mississippi line there was a
party of twenty-five armed men and
the train was flagged, but no attention
was paid to the signal. The special
dashed by at the speed of 25 miles per
hour. Just before daybreak and just
before the train got into Mississippi, a
ring was pitched and everything put
in readiness for the fight to take
place at 8 o'clock.
New Orleans, July 8. The fight
took place at 12 m., near Eichburg.
There are no wires to the place and
the result cannot be learned until the
return of the train, which is looked for
at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
New Orleans, July 8. Owing to
brutal discourtesy to everybody, in
cluding newspaper men and "Western
Union Telegraph Co., the managers
of the fight will get a sound roasting.
Newspapers here and associated press
have been compelled to buy tickets
for half of of their necessary working
force. The New York managers have
given notice that owing to the sense
less action of the managers of the
fight they have decided not to give
any special facilities for telegraphing
from the scene of the fight with the
result that the report of the tight will
have to be filed in this city.
"Washington, July 8. A message
has been received from Cincinnati
which is working direct with the
prize ring, saying that Sullivan won i
in a 72-ronnd fight, which euded at
1:10 p. M.
St. Louis, July 8. A special from
New Orleans reported that Sullivan
won in the 72nd round. The report
is not confirmed.
Cincinnati, July 8. From a reli
able source news reached here that
Sullivan won in the seventy-second
round. A special train left Eichburg
for New Orleans at 1 30. No stops
will be made, and reports of the fight
will be filed when the traiu reaches
New Orleans.
Boston, July 8. As much interest
is being taken here in the bulletins
from the prize fight as on a general
election. Crowds surround the bul
letin board, and hats went into the air
when a rumor was bulletined that
Sullivan had won.
HELD FOB MURDER.
Portland, July 8. Mrs. Lizzie
J Walters, recently from Columbus, Ks.,
is confined in the Multnomah county
jail, charged with murder. The de
tails of the case are not known here,
but it is supposed to be in
fanticide. Some days ago sher
iff Kelly, of this county received,
orders from a Kansas sheriff to ar
rest a woman who was on her way
here, by wav of the Short Line, to
meet her husband. The officers drove
out to Fair Yiew, and boarded the
train, found the woman and placed her
under arrest.
THE "T. J. rOTTEE."
The T. J. Potter, it is expected, will
leave from Tacoma to-morrow morn
ing about 5 o'clock, and will reach
Astoria about four the next morning.
After reaching Cape Flattery she will
proceed under escort of the steamer
TdaJio, so that there is no possible
danger of any one being lost in case
of an accident. The train which left
for the Sound at 11:45 to-day, carried
Mr. Thos, Smith, chief engineer of the
S. Q. Reed, who will fill that position
on the Potter. Mr Smith was the
first chief engineer the Alaskan had
when she landed here from the east.
With him he took as his corps first
assistant Prince Jackson, second as
sistant James Driscoll, third assistant
Philip Kerron, oiler Claude Thorpe,
firemen "W. G. Long, A K. Ken worth v,
Philip "Winghard, Geo. McNally;
wood passer Pat Bridgeman. Claude
Thorpe has for some time been acting
chief engineer.
