Last Sunday Thos. Logan and wife
received the sad news of the death of
their son James, at San Francisco
that morning. He was a member of
the San Francisco fire department,
and several months ago received set-J
vere injuries while at a hre, from the
effects of which he died. Deceased
was about 23 years, of age, and was
well known in Astoria, where he had
spent his boyhood. His afflicted par
ents have the sympathy of the com
munity in their bereavement
Sunday afternoon, as Wm. Douglas,
keeper of the Tongue Point buoy sta
tion, was driving a buggy along the
roadway jnst inside of the city limits,
the horse shied at something, the
wheel of the buggy striking a China
man on the leg. The Chinaman then
grasped one of the shafts of -the buggy
and 'refused to let go although re
guested to do so by Mr. Douglas. At
that moment . the "horse kicked the
Ohinamanrand" he let go at once. Mr.
Douglas thinking the Chinaman seri
ously hurt, brought him to a doctor,
where he was examined and found to
have only sustained a slight bruise.
W. J. Barry, captain of the victori
ous Astoria hose team, is in receipt of
a challenge from the Vancouver, B,
C, fire department, to have the As
toria bojs run against them anywhere
on Canadiau soil for 4,000 a side.
His reply was not unfavorable to the
project. If the Vancouver team will
pay the Astoria team's expenses to
Seattle or Victoria the Astoria boys
will go and run them for 4,000 a
side. If the Vancouverites will come
here the Astoria team will pay their
expenses and run them here for
$4,000 a side. If the Vancouver team
should come aud beat the Astoria
team in the contest the town would
go broke. The Vancouverites would
make the biggest killing they ever
made and would have to briug stout
sacks to carry away the money won.

Ed. Wright Still on His Travels.
A Jonrney From Chicago to Boston.
Boston, Sept. 21st, 1889.
One of the greatest perplexities that
the amateur traveler encounters is
the choosing of a route to the east
from a dozen or so that are offered
from a large city like Chicago; each
route has its peculiar advantages, and
the agents are not at all backward
about extolling them. I left Chicago
on the Baltimore and Ohio limited ex
press, which makes the run of about
1,060 miles to New York in 26 hour,
including stops; the 92 miles between
Philadelphia and Jersey City is cov
ered in exactly 100 minutes, including
lour steps: so tnat tne actual running
time is about a mile a minute. 'Tis
but a few minutes ride from Chicago
to the Indiana line, and all through
this state, as in Illinois, are vast fields
of corn, the monotony of which is re
lieved by an occasional patch of su
gar cane, which will supply the far
mer with "sorghum" for his corn
cakes.
The land here has a green, healthy
look and is exceedingly fertile, and if
I couldn't have a farm in Oregon, I
believe this section would be my sec
ond choice.
Night shuts down on us before we
leave Indiana, and we awake the next
morning in a region of coal, iron, oil
and gas. The very air seems impreg
nated with combustibles; wells of nat
ural gas are blazing up in front of
hundreds of farm houses, and the
spectacle at night is said to be grand
in the extreme.
For years this has been the homo
of numberless moonshiners who, sin
cere in their ignoranoe, do not realize
that it is wrong to manufacture pure
whisky without paying the tax. They
cultivate a little patch of corn way up
on the mountain side, and it is easier
to get this corn to market in the
shape of whisky than any other way.
"Talk about the elixir of life," said a
Chicago drummer, who boarded the
train at a little station in the heart of
the mountains, "but here is an elixir
that Brown-Sequard can never equal
with his new faugled cocktail," and
after a fellow drummer had allowed
about half of the contents of a flat
bottle to gurgle down his throat, he
said, "That's so, b'gosh." .
On entering Maryland the train is
rolling over historic ground. From
Winchester, in the Shenandoah valley,
to Middleton, is where Sheridan made
his famous rido along the valley turn
pike on the eventful morning of Octo
ber 19th, 1861, and several hard bat
tles were fought in this immediate
vicinity. At Harper's ferry the old
engine house in wbioh John Brown
fortified himself is still standing,
in good order, despite the on
slaughts of the relic hunters. It
is only a few yards from the depot,
and is the greatest attraction any
where on the line.
There" is a great deal of truth in the
words "John Brown's body lies moul
dering in the grave, but his soul goes
marching on," and as long as the earth
endures, all lovers of freedom will
gratefully remember the martyred
Brown, who brooded o'er the woes of
the race until he thought it his duty
to lay down bis life in an endeavor to
help them. The Potomac forces itB
way through a narrow gorge at this
place, and the water is so swift that
locks have been built to enable boats
to ascend the stream.
On leaving Harpers Ferry we are
almost immediately in, the suburbs of
Washington, to be sure the distance
is considerable, but little towns and
additions have sprung up all along
the line, and suburban trains are
whizzing past us every few minutes.
As I had no particular desire to
hasten Mr, Harrison's return from
Deer Park, I did not stop at the
office seeker's Mecca. Washington is
a nico cleancity, and a man drawing
a good salary like Harrison does,
ought to be satisfied to live there.
Baltimore, the home of the oyster, is
I the next halting place. Here the
train is ferried across the bay on a
boat a trifle smaller than the Kalama
ferry. Baltimore has been a prosper
ous city, but is said to be on the de
cline. Towns, and villages are sand
wiched "in pretty thick between here
and Philadelphia, but the limited"
sails right through the most of them
without even slacking speed.
The city of Brotherly love has seen
its best days. I spent two days there
and was much 'surprised at the de
cadence of the historic city. The
Bigns "for sale and "for rent" adorn
hundreds of fine buildings on nearly
every street in the city. Much wealth
has been withdrawn from the business
of the city and invested elsewhere, so
that the result has been disastrous.
New York is too big a place to be
handled in a sketch of this kind so I
will pass right throrjgb to- the Iiong
Island sound. The steamer Puritan,
said to be the biggest steamboat afloat,
she is a daisyy flttednp.like a palace,
420 state rooms with electric light,
hot and cold water in eaoh one of
them, brass and string band- carried
all through the season.
After a refreshing night's sleep on
the steamer I awake next morning at
"Stonington on Long Island shore,"
and there took the train -for Boston.
There is much -to interest one in
this quaint old city with its crooked
narrow streets, which begin nowhere
and end nowhere. Just across the
street from where I Write is the grave
of Paul Revere and a dozen other
patriots of the revolution, near these
are the graves of the father and moth
er of Ben Franklin. The-Old South
meeting house is still in good repair.
r The breastworks thrown up by the
patriots at Bunker hill can still be
distinguished, aud scores of other
historic and interesting features of
the place afford pleasure to the
stranger. The first -familiar face I
saw in Boston was that of Arthur
Sewell who was in Astoria last Decem
ber as mate on the .American ship
Benj. Sewejl; he i now captain of
the ship and will sail for Calcutta in a
few days. From here I go to Con
necticut, thence to New York.

Eighteen Yearn Ago.
Olympia. Sept 29. While at Sea
land, in Pacific county, a few days
ago, a gnm skeleton was found in
some burning brush by J. W. Surpre
nant, which cleared up a mystery of
eighteen years' standing, and showed
clearly that a tragedy had been en
acted, the details of which are known
only to the murderer, if he is still on
the face of the earth. Mr. Surprenant
is the superintendent of construction
of the Hwaco Railway and Navigation
company. He found the skull and
part of the remaining bones of the
body near where the railroad wharf
running out into Shoalwater bay ad
joins the shore, and close to the old
trail which led from Oysterville to
Fisher's house, at the head of the pay.
Eighteen years ago Charles Green,
sheriff of Pacific county, mysteriously
disappeared, and it was supposed by
many that he had absconded with
funds of the county. His bondsmen
were compelled to make the amount
good, and as the years rolled by the
affair was forgotten. The sheriff in
those days was compelled by law to
collect taxes. He had been away from
Oysterville in the southeastern section
of the county for some weeks engaged
in that duty and started from Fisher's
homeward with about $600 in his pos
session. It is said that he told Fiher
who is yet living at the head of teh
bay, that he felt as if he was being
followed. He has never been seen
alive in the county since he left Fish
er's for his home and iu the search
that was made for him nf ter his dis
appearance he was traoked on the
lonely trail as for as the vicinity of
where Sealand is now situated, and
there all trace of him was lost Green,
I am told, was a native of Finland
and came to Oysterville, the county
seat, Borne years before his election as
sheriff, from Alaska, making the peril
ous trip in an open canoe. He
had been engaged in fishing in that far
off country. g was an intelligent
well informed man of undoubted cour
age and honesty and during his stay
in Oysterville married a half breed by
whom he had a son, now living at Bay
Center, who has grown to manhood
and is running a "plunger" on Shoal
water bay. Mr. Surprenant on exam
ining the skull found that it contained
a gold pivot tooth which Green had in
his jaw while living a round bullet
hole through the skuljl told the
story of the manner of his
death .The skull which was picked
up and laid in front of the con
struction mess house was examined by
several of the old settlers, who remem
bered the mysterious affair, whilo the
son of the murdered man himself was
shown the scant and ghastly remains
of his father, whom he had known on
ly in his boyhood days. "There were
many hard characters in Pacific coun
ty in the days of the war and a few
years after it," said an old friend of
the missing sheriff, "and I never be
lieved he ran away, I always sup
posed he was murdered." There was no
such place as Sealand then and but a
narrow trail led from Oysterville down
to the head of the bay and over toward
the Columbia river. "Will the county
have to refund the money to his bonds
men if it is proven that Green was
murdered?" seemed to be a specula
tion among some of the citizens of
Oysterville who saw the bones. Corr.
