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. They
are in number, three thousand, and!
are for $?1,UU0 each. They represent
a par value of 3,000,000, and will be
shortly listed on the New York stock
exchange. Mr. Holden .has finished
signing the last of the 3,000, and they
will now be placed with the Union
Trust company of New York city.
The bonds have attached to them
quarterly coupons, bearing interest at
six per cent, in gold till 1910, when
they mature.
They are most elaborately gotten
up, by the leading engraving com
pany of the country, and are engraved
in geometrical lathe and scroll work
in a manner to defy forgery.
From his arrival yesterday morn
ing to four o'clock yesterday after
noon, over 6,000 in assessments was
brought in to the office, and about
84,000 more is expected to-day.

PORTLAND NOTES.
Portlaxd, Oct. 1. Mr. C. J. 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. He was a
passenger on tue -wrecked train, Feb
ruary 5, '89. ' The plaintiff further
avers that he was taken to the Good
Samaritan-hospital at the instance of
defendant where a surgeon so un
skillfully treated his broken leg that
no nas oecome permanently lame.
Sandy Olds has been refused as
much freedom as he has had. He has
been put in a cage and at 2 o'clock was
permitted to take a solitary pace up
and down the center of the corridor.
When tired of that recreation orders
are that he must be returned to his
cage till the following day.
FINANCIER WARD.
New York Oct. 1. 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.

also officially informed that the resi
dence 1,801 1 street has been secured
for the use of the congress," and that
subsequent meetings will be held
there. They will also be invited to
make that house their headquarters,

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.
