Yesterday in the recorder's office one, inqrtage deed for S1,000 "was filed, also one release of. a 500 mortgage. This office is iu receipt of a neat and useful little pocketbook bearing the compliments of Messrs. Palmer & Bey. A fine opportunity to join a class in painting is offered by consulting Mrs. A. J. Smith, the talented artist, who is stopping at 13. S. Worsley's. The unusually warm day of Wednes day was succeeded yesterday by oue ot those cool and delightful days so characteristic of a summer in As toria. The Cedar street school house is to have a new flagstaff, from which at an altitude of 110 feet will float the stars and stripes, and be waved by the breezes of this loyal land. The trouble on Third street in re gard to a property owner objecting to the street improvement has been set tled, and the street in that vicinity will be newly planked at once. A largo number of people who found the Portland heat too oppres sive, came down yesterday on the Potter and went to the beach, some for Clatsop and the balance for North Beach. The work of the electric light com pany iu putting up new painted poles in the center of the city, on which the wires for their incandescent system will also bo strung, is progressing steadily. The committee on fire and water have contracted with Horace Moore, of McHroy and Moore, Portland, for the purchase of a 55-foot Hayes ex tension hook and ladder truck for the use of the city. Justice Cleveland yesterday issued a warrant for the arrest of D. Martini for gambling, on complaint of John Grand. He gave bail in the sum of 550 for his appearance in court this morning at 10 o'clock. Thoso who visit Clatsop Beach can find every accommodation and a pleas ant stopping place at Austin's. The hotel is new and everything is neat and clean, while to the beach is but a pleasant five minutes' walk. The Scandinavian comedy company had but a small audience last night, but the entertainment was of no ac count, and entirely unworthy ot any patronage whatever. Prof. Peterson, the magician, was the only redeeming feature. Never waste time telling people what a lot of good things you have done. In the first place, they won't believe you, and in tho second place, they are waiting for a chance to tell you what a lot of good things they have done themselves. The great popularity of the Seaside hotel this season, under the manage ment ot C. C. Cooper, is well attested by the generous patronage it enjoys. The hotel is comfortable, convenient to the beach, the grounds are ample, and tho bathing is the best on the coast. Portland and Salem are just hug ging themselves with delight at their success iu obtaining a recount It will now bo in order to have an organ ized aud persistent kick all along the line until Oregon's population iB all counted. A number of days ago, Joe Myers, well known in this city, while at work for contractor Parker over on Shoal water bay, was badly injured, so much eo that his recovory was considered hopeless. News has been received from Montesano that ho will surely recover, and is even now gaining health and strength. The Oregonian htis been investigat ing the term "dago," often applied to Italians and Portuguese, and finds that it is probably a corruption ot tho Italian word "dico" I say. Tho north ern Italians, natives of Tuscany and Piedmont, have a fashion ot using this word, as many Americans in nar rating a story, "I says, says L" And w they have been styled "dicos," which has been corrupted into "dago." In referenco to the unfortunate death ot William H Walker, noticed in our dispatches, the Oregonian says: "Mr. Walker was a man of large frame and remarkably handsome; a big-hearted, frank-natured, pleasant m&nneredman, genial and companion able, one who had the happy faculty of making friends wherever ho went. He has traveled all over the northwest, and probably no man in Oregon was moro widely known ot more highly esteemed by those with whom he was brought in contact, and a host of friends throughout the northwest -will be pained to learn of his untimely death. Ho was in the prime of man hood, .and might reasonably have looked forward to a long and useful lite, and had, by his exertions, placed himself in a position where he could look forward to a release from the, ar duous business duties he had so long and faithfully discharged."

It is expected that they will then be enabled to do some work on this end of the road in the valley of tho Necanicum, above "Will iamson's place. It is thought by some that a better road can be made by bridging the Necanicum near Eber man's place, and then keeping along tho side of tho hill to Williamson's, thus keeping out of the bottom land of the valley, which is too soft to be a good road during tho winter, spring and early summer. Some favor a bridge across the Necanicum below Beerman's, the road to then go up on the west bank of the creek. These different schemes will be discussed probably at the next meeting of the county court and the most practicable route decided upon. The inhabitants in that section are becoming so nu merous that the matter of roads is one of increasing importance. Tbe City Taxes. Auditor Jewett and his deputy, Phil Cook, have been about four weeks making out the new assessment roll for the city. Maps were made. and on these were placed the figures on "Wright's assessment roll. Tho board of equalization of the council, consisting principally of councilmen Welch jmd Parker, in connection with the auditor, went over tho maps and markod thereon the new assessment, then the auditor and his assistant made out tho roll from the maps, and it will bo ready at tho next meeting of the council. The total figures will bo not far from $4,827,200, and as that sum is nearly double the assessment of last year, tho levy to raise tho required amount will necessarily bo smaller than usuaL No one is authorized to state what tho levy is, as it has not yet been mado by the council, and though a sum has been agreed upon to recommend to tho council, that body alone has power to decide what it shall be, and therefore, perhaps, it would bo well for irresponsible parties to wait until tho levy has been mado before they announce it The roll as handed in by City Asses sor Wright, was $4,429,406, so that the board of equalization has in creased it nearly S400.000, and the lat ter roll is tho one which will go to tho council The Clackamas Hatchery. A reporter who visited the Clacka mas hatchery a few day ago found the place unusually quiet Mr. Hubbard, who is in charge, has all tho trouglis in the hatchery ready for tho reception of. eggs. Tho racks which were torn down by the high water last year have been replaced with new ones that are much moro substantial, and so built as to be easily token apart and moved away in case of high water. The water used in hatching tho eggs will tins year be taken from the Clackamas river instead of Clear creek, the source heretofore employed. The engine pump3 the water into a large wooden tank, and this feeds all the troughs through which the water is kept constantly running during tho process ot hatching. It is thought that tho water from the Claokamas river will produce better results than that from Clear creek, owing to the fact that the temperature is the same as it is where salmon are allowed to spawn in the river. At present there is practically noth ing being done. Mr. Hubbard keens things in shape and draws salary. TJ. S. Fish commissioner Livingstone Stone and his lawn tennis outfit havo gone to Washington. Only a few salmon havo thus far been put in, and it is thought that tho ruu will bo lighter than usual. The river is very low. Mr. Hubbard is of tho opinion that quite a number of fish went up stream before the racks were put in. The state fish commissioners are of the same opinion, and in consequence would not be surprised with a small run. bhould, however, all fishing bo stopped below the hatchery, thero will be enough salmon caught to supply the hatchery with eggs, and possibly also enough to stock the branch hatchery at Warrendale. Tho blame is to bo attached to the red tape usually necessary to observe in dealing with tho government While the fish commissioners were adjusting an arrangement with Uncle Sam for tho rebuilding of the racks the salmon were quietly going up stream. It will bo a month or six weeks yet before the work of the hatchery commences in real earnest A Chening Gum Suppressed. Several months ago a chewing gum factory at'Cleveland, O., conceived tho idea of making a new brand of gum, wrapping it in imitation bo green, backs and calling it "Greenback Chew ing Gum." It was put on the market and made a hit, large lots being sold. A government detective, who chews gum, bought a stick of the brand, and ho at once saw in tho imitation $5 bill a violation of tho statutes of the United States. Ho notified the trpas- ury department at Washington of his discovery, and this telegram was sent out to all the district secret service of ef ficers: "Greenback chewing gum has a wrapper that is a violation of section 5,430. Suppress it" Large seizures of the articlo were made and the salo stopped. PRACTICAL TESTS. An Astonishing Offer Some of the Replies. The San Francisco papers of recent data sontalned too following effer: "At an ovldencc of tho ability of Joy's Vegetable SareapcrUla to prevent sick head aches, -we will give to tho first twelvo re sponslblopersonswhowillapplyatoBroffica a bottle free If they will crree that alter they have been cured that they will admit tho fact over their signatures." This offer so startllngly asserted tho ca dency of tho remedy that many accepted, and tho letters of the parties, nearly all of whom, responded, are probably the most convincing attestations that any remedy ever received. Tho following is a samplo of thoso received: J havo been Eublecilo bilious headache and constipation for several years past; In fact, havo boon compelled to tako a physio every other night or else I would havo a bcaaacho and doll, mean feeling.

Horrible Fate of a Chicago Hod-Carrier Wfco Fell Into a Tit or SIsck-LIrae. Patrick Kane, a hod-carrier, fell into a pit of slack-lime ho wa3 prepar ing at tho yard ot Bobert Borland, piasrerer, ooi west ;ne street, and died from the effects at his home, 61 Hastings street, yesterday morning, says tho Chicago Herald of August 6th. Kane was a stalwart Irishman, 31 years old, and possessed a record of unbroken good health, but on tho day the accident occurred ho complained of a sick headache. At the close of the day's work his employer asked him to prepare some lime for the next day's work. Kane at first denlinol rm the nlea that he was ill. hnfc wra finally persuaded to resume work. None of the laborers were about the yard when Kane began working the lime, and his employer went back to tho office to calculate estimates on some jobs in hand. About 7 o dockKano. wiin Wt iwnrv and tired, leaned heavily on tho mixer wim wnicune was stirring up tho lime. The plank on which he stood had been thrown carelessly across the corner of tho box. His weight turned it over, and before he could regain hisbalauce or utter a cry for help he fell full length into tho boiling, bubbling hme. He sank down, no part of his body es caping contact with the burning liquid, except his left arm and tho upper part of his face. Kane was a strong man, and though half blinded by the specks of lime that splashed up from the box, and suffering horribly from the mouth ful of fiery liquid that he had swal lowed in his fatal plunge, he crawled out, staggered a few paces, and then fell prostrate on the sand heap, where he was found a few minutes later by his employer. From Ins shoulders downward tho lime had eaten into his clothes and was slowly making its way through tho flesh of tllQ nnfnn;finna i?it The soles of his boots had dropped off I anu nis trousers trom tuo lence down hung in shreds from his slowly con suming limbs. Tho skin on the upper part of his right arm, which was bared to the shoulder, had been burned away and the muscles and tendons had suc cumbed to the destroyer. Tho nails on the lingers had dropped off almost immediately after coming in contact with tho lime and Uiq hand was tightly chuched as if to conquer the madden ing pain. The liquid crept slowlv but relentlessly through his shirt, eating its destructive way and frightfully bcorching his chest and back. The man was a mass of burning flesh and lime, and when Borland, liis employer, found him on the sandheap tho fatal lime had effectually done its deadly work. Borland rushed for the hose pipe and attempted to check tho pro gress of destruction by deluging Kano with cold water. Then, despairing ot the man's life, he carried him to his buggy with the lime-eaten clothes still clinging to his burned body and drove the injured man home. For a week Kane hovered between life and death. None of the sufferers seen by Dante during his journey through tho Iuferno could ever havo endured tho awful agony experienced by the dying hod-carrier, as tho lime fairly scorched its way through his lnngs. Tho scars on his body and limbs were hideous enongh. but all chances of recovery were de stroyed by tho awful fire raging within. Kano bore his sufferings with the fortitude of a stoic. No word of complaint ever crossed his lirss, and he showed no sign of the great agony he felt except to lay liis uninjured hand on his bosom and murmur, "My heart is burning away!" Tho fiery fluid re leased him vesterdav nftnr a wppk's suffering, and Kano passed away un conscious ot tuo approacn or ueatn.
