SOUS OF THE MATERIAL AKP.IVE5. Among the dispatches filed Monday night in Portland, for transmission to The Astorian, was the follewing: Pobtland, Sept. o0. The locomotire "Frank J. Taylor," No. 23, and seven flat oars, loaded with rail road iron, left for Astoria at 3:30 this afternoon. As usual, when anything of impor tance is happening, the lines were down last Monday night, and the above dispatch was not received till yesterday morning, by express. About 10:30 a steamboat towing a barge hove in sight, coming down the river, and as it approached, the loco motive on the barge, which had steam up, began to toot, and the bell began to ring. The captain landed at the O. B. & N. dock, where a large t crowd had gathered to inspect the material. The locomotive 31 tons named "Frank J. Taylor," in compliment to the vice president of the road, was the center of attraction. There are thousands of finer locomotives run ning all over rails all over every part of the United States, but this particu lar locomotive meant a good deal to Astoria. The seven flat cars had about 175 tons of rails, sufficient to lay about two miles of track. The material will be taken to Skipanon this morning. . Ahtoria aud South Coast Railway Bands. The first mortgage bonds of the Astoria and South Coast railway company have been issued, and signed by the president, William Beid, and the secretary, E. O. Holden.

Smith, general manager of the O. B. & N. Co., denies that his company has pur chased the Hudson river steamer City of Kingston, When CaDt. J. W. Troun was in New York he made an examination of the steamer as he did with others but she was not considered to be just what was wanted. It is officially an nounced that the Mountain Queen when completed will go to the Sound. C. A. Willey to-day began suit for 815.600 aeainst the Portland and Willamette Valley railway.

Financier Ward, late of Wall street, has risen to the dignity of being classed as a steam job printer in Sing Sing. The little printing office in the prison has re cently had added to the plant a half medium Gordon press, and Ward is highly pleased with this acquisition and spends much of his time in pol ishing it up. He heretofore has done all his work on a little amateur treadle press. When he had a job which was too large for the size of the press he used to work it off by printing part of it at a time. Praotical printers who have visited the institution have won dered how he did some of the work. He had a razzle'-dazzleidea of punctu ation when he first went to work for the state of New York, but he can now stick periods, commas and exclama tion points in their proper places. SYRIANS AND TURKS. Crrr of Mexico, Oct. 1. Newspa pers here demand of the government that it forbid the entrance into this country of Syrian and Turkish beg gars. A number of Chinamen arrived at Tampico this week and departed immediately for Texas. New York, Oct. 1. The Telegram says editerially: "The Syrians and Turks have entered Mexican ports and gone overland into the United States, and Chinese find no difficulty in entering the country through Can ada and Mexico. This gives Ameri cans the unpleasant sensation that the world is growing smaller when it is found that such pauper emigrants cannot be excluded." THE AMERICAN CONGRESS. Wa8Hikgton, Oct, , The depart ment of state has informed delegates to the international American con gress that they will be expected to report for organization at the depart ment of state at noon on October 2nd.

H. A. Shorey returned from Port land yesterday. Joseph Holladay has skipped io Canada to get away from Judge Stearns and the onus of the Holla day estate. C. W. Fulton, J. Q. A. Bowlby, J. C. Trullinger and wife, Chas. Heil born and daughter and E. C. Holden, returned from Portland yesterday morning. B.ick From The Sound Major T. H. Handbury, United States engineer, has returned from a trip around to the Sound on the Man zanita, which was taking supplies to the various lighthouses. He inspected the fog signals being erected at De struction island, and found them nearly completed. In a week or ten days the voice of the siren will be heard in that land warning sIuds from the dangerous coast. A visit was also made to Tatoosh island, where the supplies were nearly exhausted. The Manzanita has a great amount of work to do, and is furnished with a crew altogether too small for the work. For instance, in landing sup plies at any of the lights, all of which are in exposed and dangerous posi tions, the whole crew of six men are sent off in a boat, and they have to pack all tue supplies, coal, oil, lumber, etc., ashore from the boat, and away above high-water mark. If the boat should by any chance be wrecked or Bwamped, and the crew lost, the steamer would be left helpless. A revenue cutter is supplied with three times as many men, and they have nothing to do outside their ves sel, while the six men on the Manza nita have to lug ashore and up the beach all the supplies for all the light houses in the district, whioh is moro than they shotild be asked to do. Major Handbury left the Manzanita at Port Townsend and came up the Sound in a steam schooner, and had a rough trip, as they encountered a heavy blow. Oregonian, 1. COUNTY COURT PROOERDIVUS. F. L. Parker, county assessor, turned over county assessment roll to county court; returned for completion and footing.
