Yesterday morning the directors of tho Astoria and South Coast railroad had an official meeting, H. B. Thiel sen, chief engineer and superintend ent, reported, that he had accepted the Seaside division of tho road from the contractors, as it was nil completed and in good running order. To contractor Smith is due $31,500, for that portion of the road from Car nahan's to Bird's. There is also due him $12,500 from the Pacific Construc tion Company, for building tho line from Bird's to Seaside. Besides this there are allowances or incidentals amounting to S700, making a total of $47,000. This also includes the bridges and turnouts. This pajTnent is due contractor Smith five days after the acceptance of the road by the company, but Mr. Case, as trustee, has thirty days after that, allowed him to raiso money on the securities, so that it virtually gives flnrfv.fivn ilnve nffr fha fiPfonfnnxn I and before that timo the financial! arrangements will have been made and the claim fully met In regard to the telegraph line tho directors awhile ago signed an accept ance of a contract with the Pacific Postal Telegraph company, but the company did not accept it, and sent down another contract for signature. This latter required the railroad com pany to keep an operator at each ter minal station. The directors con cluded that before the line could be put up and in working order tho sea son would be virtually over, and tho lino of no particular uso to tho road, and therefore postponed action on tho proposition of tho telegraph company. A proposition was received from G. Wingate to donate to the company at Glenwood sufficient land for depot grounds, and to construct a neat depot Trailding and donate to the com pany, if the latter would designate it as a regular station. Tho proposition was accepted by the board, and supor intendentThielsen empowered to make all the necessary arrangements. No further action was taken, and nothing was presented from President Keid, and the board then adjourned. Respect For the Unknown. To many their only fear of death is that they may be forgotten. To per petuate their memory, that they may dwell after death in the minds of tho living, is a hope and an ambition for which many would be willing to give all they possess in this world, even life itself. To gain this end, millions have been squandered in rearing costly piles of stone and brick. Some have stooped to crimes of blackest dye for the brief memory gained by the horror of their deeds. Millions have been lavished on institutions of learning, that the thousands of future generations who delve for knowledge within their doors may hold and revere the memory of their benefactor. But the memory of the dead is often as brief as morning dew. This was brought lo mind yesterday at tho funeral of a Bussian buried from Coroner Su prenant's undertaking rooms. His friends were there to perform tho last rites and convey him to his last rest ing place, but no ono knew his name. They simply knew that ho was a Bus sian, that was all.

Remember the Austin house at the Seaside Is open tho year 'round. Did He commit suicide. It Is Claimed That Coirovc rorp&scly Fell From the Parachute Sunday. It is now learned from a reliable source that Arthur Cosgrove, who came to his death by falling from a parachute Sunday afternoon, commit ted suicide, and that his seeming care lessness in not providing himself with a belt and other safeguards against accident was nothing more or less than a carefully planned arrangement for taking his own life. It also transpires that Cosgrovo was intoxicated when ho went up. He had to be in order to mnt-o llirif fearful death droD. It is said that Cosgrove threatened to take his life a number of times, and ho ' imieu in cemiut: umui im m u,u- loon near Snohomish several months j a- .,,,-,,, -r, -. J It is said that Professor lleduioud estranged tho affections of Cosgrove's wife, who, herself, is a balloonist, and goes by the name of Bertha Anzola She made several ascensions with Bed mond from tho east approach to the Jefferson-street ferry. Cosgrovo saw that his wife's affections were centered' in Bedmond, and at one time he had reason to suspect them of sustaining improper relations. The thought preyed on his mind, and he concluded to kill himself methodically as lted- lUOnd had died by aCCidOllt. 0u tuo day of the ascension he took I a number of drinks to nerve himself , for the occasion, and a short timo be-, foro the balloon went up he took form-: al leave of his friends. He would not listen to the advice of those who told him to secure himself to the para chute with a strap, and put them off with the remark that he knew his own business. He was connected with the Pacific theatre in a menagerial capacity, and most of thoso who worked uuder him were on the ground . to see him make tho ascension. " I have known you, all for a long time," said ho as he was about to go up. " You have all been good friends to me, but I will never see you alive again."

Over on North Beach, Pacific county, "Washington, not far from Long Beach is a neat little story and a half house known as "Driftwood Cottage." The owner is a Portland man who conceived tho idea of utiliz ing somo of the driftwood which is scattered along tho beach in abund ance, and which is of all shapes and sizes, from a very small stick to an im mense saw log. Thehouso and all its furniture is made entirely of drif twod, picked up on the shore, and is very ingeniously constructed. Not only was comfort and convenience consulted, but elegance, ta3te and skill are shown in the make of the house and its contents. Bedsteads, tables, chairs, lounges, benches, stands, whatnots, shelves, doors and in fact, tho entire articles used are all made of picked up pieces, many of them put together in tho form of mosaic work, and are decidedly unique and attractive, ornamental as well as useful. A peculiarity of the occupant and his family is that they subsist almost entirely on fish and game, in the se curing of which great ingenuity is manifested. A liberal offer has been made for the house and ila novel furniture, and if accepted, the building will be careful ly taken down and sent to Chicago, there to be put together again, fitted up as it now stands, and be on exhibi tion at the World's fair.
