THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Of tie Astoria anJ Ml Coast Rall
roalHaYS a Meeting.
THE JIOAI) ACCEPTED AS Jl UILT.
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.

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."
He then kissed his little boy, and
bade all a last farewelL Oreyonian,

in Astonishing Offer Somo of the
Replies.
The San Francisco papers ol recent dato
contained the following effer:
"As an erldcnco of tho ability of Joy's
Vegetable Sarsaparilla to prevent sick head
aches, wo will give to tho first twclvo ro
eponsiblc persons who will apply at our office
a bottle free if they will Krce that after
they have been cured that they will admit
tho fact over their signatures."
This offer so atartlingly asserted the effi
ciency of tho remedy that many accepted,
and the letters of tho parties, nearly all of
whom responded, are probably tho most
convincing attestations that any remedy
ever received. Tho following is a sample of
thoso received:
I havo been subject to bilious hcadiche
aud constipation for several years past; in
fact, have been compelled to take a physic
eTcry other night or clso I would havo a
hcadacho aud dull, mean feeling. I have

The committee of arrangements had

"DRIFTWOOD COTTAGE."
A House and All Its Faruiture Constructed
of Driftwood.
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.
