New York, Aug. 19. Webb, of the
New York Central, this morning said:
"For the past few days I have been
making arrangements to get a new
force of firemen in case those on this
road go out, and have succeeded so
far that any delay from that cause will
bo only temporal y. If necessary, I
will stop every particle of freight
traffic, close up every yard, and keep
them closed until I have obtained a
sufficient number of firemen to resume
freight traffic This I think I can ac
complish within forty-eight hours, ns I
havo long lists of men who will come
jit tho wages we will pny.
My road will expend $2,000,000
to win, and on my action
I am backed up by tho stokholdcrs."
It seems to be tho general opinion of
the men that Webb's action in refus
ing to arbitrate will result hi the train
men, conductors, firemen and switch
men being called out, and a prodig
ious striko declared.

POKTliAND'S SENSATION
Reporters Unable to Find. Naves
About ITIIes Leaf.
Special to The Astoriax.1
Poetland, Aug. 19. This inorning
a Telearam representative visited the
Revere house, the last place Mis An
nie Leaf (Mrs. isrookej was known to
have stopped at prior to her flight
from this city, to learn something re
garding her conduct in the house.
The interviewed landlady was unable
to furnish any more information rela
tive to the prima donna, who has for
the moment created a sensation here.
It is evident that Miss Leaf was de
termined to throw every one off the
scent, aud she was smart enough to do
so until yesterday, when it was learned
from a reliable source that she went to
Spokane. Her almost distracted hus
band admirably concealed what he
felt on the stage last night He went
through his work a3 if he were as
lighthearted as any member of the
Maude Granger company.

San Fbakcisoo, Aug. 19. A speciul
from L03 Angeles says tlio order of

California out of the department of

likely to have considerable effect on
the local vote. Tho head quarters
wcro established hero undor tho Demo
cratic administration, and despite tho
fact that a heavy Republican majority
in Los Augeles county gave the state
to Harrison, tho present administra
tion has slapped its partisans in tho
face by taking about one half a million
dollars worth of business annually out
of tho Los Angeles market Tho
Democrats will use this as an arraign
ment of Republican gratitude, and it
will count heavily in tho coming elec
tion. Republican leaders appreciate
this fully, and are beseeching the
president to revoke Secretary Proc
tor's order, but with little hope of suc
cess. Tho chamber of commerce ha3 also
taken action, and has empowered ex

Special by The UstrKD Patss.
Sata Fe, Aug. 19. The Santa
Fe Register has the following
stery: Eobert Jones, of Eichfield, ar
rived in Ephraim this morning, and
having heard that the gentleman had
captured Tascott, the murderer, at
Richfield, a Register reporter imme
diately began an interview with him.
It appoara Tascott arrived in Eichfield
on Friday evening, August Sth, and
Air. Jones met him. The man alleged
that he was jnst from Pierce, where he
had been working in the mines. Mr.
Jones, who is a detective, noticed his
hands were soft and white, hence he
thought they were not the kind that
were acenstomed to hard work. This
caused further investigation which
led Mr. Jones to think that he
had detected 'the murderer. The
next morning, while tho man was
yet at the table Mr. Jones went in, and
drawing his revolver, arrested him.
The man told Jone3 to shoot, but he
would not. As soon a3 he was arrested
an examination was made which re
silted in disclosing the fact that the
man answered the description of Wm.
U. Tascott, who killed Amos J. Snell, of
Chicago, on February 8th, 1SS8, even
to the scars on both elbows, and on
the right knee. MY. Jones is a mem
ber of the detectivo force of Cincin
nati, O., and has been on tho lookout
Tor advertised criminals ol all kinds.
If this is tho right man he will get the
reward of S(X),000 awaiting the lucky
canturer, offered by the murdered
man's wire. There is only one doubt
as to tho man's identity. His face is a
little thinner, but all tho other descrip
tions are perfect.

Tobacco RaLsiasat Cathlaniet.
J. T. Lutes, of Skamokawa, brought
to Cathlamct last week, a small halo
of tobacco ho had raised and cured on
his farm. The article i3 of prime
quality, with an excellent flavor and
very handsome in appearance. The
only objection could bo found to tho
sample, was the fact that it was a
little strong, which difficulty could bo
easily remedied, he assured us, by
longer exposure to the atmosphere
while curing.
Mr. Lutes, who is an old expe
rienced tobacco raiser, says ho pro
cured the seed from a friend of his on
Gray's harbor, who had it shipped to
him by mistake, by an eastern seed
firm. There is ono peculiarity about
tho variety. Tho lateral leaves stand
out from tho main stem several inches
before commencing to widen ont.
Tho leaf is of good size and of fine
texture. The plants mature early
which is of great importance in this
moist climate.
One thing, hi3 experience of last
year has shown him that tho bottom
land produced a plant of such vigor
ous growth, that in order to have a
finer quality of tobacco, it is necessary
to cultivate on poorer soil, which he
has done this season. He made an
estimate from the yield of his patch,
and found his experiment would go
easily 800 pounds of cured tobacco to
the acre. This is a large yield, equal
ing, if not exceeding, tho productive
ness of many of tho tobacco growing
states of tho south. Catlilamet Ga

iviOLiNU, ills., Aug. xv. jyorty years
ago Hiram Gregg, eight years old, dis
appeared from tho home of his parents
at Elmira, N. Y. Search was insti
tnted aud kept up for several months,
but without favorable results, Tho
parents moved out to the west some
time afterward, and finally settled
near this place. To-day a man of
forty-nine years appeared at the Gregg
homestead, and announced himself as
the boy who disappeared forty years
ago. According to his story he was
stolen by Gypsies who took him to
Wisconsin, He was cruelly used by
lus captors and oftentimes he had
been shamefully beaten and threatened
with death. About fifteen years ago
Hiram married, and his Gypsy foster
mother disappeared. Hiram and his
wife took up their residence at
Eichardson, Oak county, Wis., where
they lived until a mysterious communi
cation was received by Hiram, telling
him his real namo and that his mother
was living near Moline. This led to
an investigation which resulted in the
meeting of to-day. It is presumed
that the letter was written by one of
the Gypsies in a fit of remorse.

MARINE NEWS AND NOTES.
1-
The C. W. Rich took 800 empty sal
mon cases to Knappton yesterday and
returned with 228 cases of salmon.
The Potter will probably not be up
this morning until 11 o'clock, as she
cannot come across from Hwaco before
then on account of the tide being, out.
Workmen were engaged yesterday
in making some slight repairs on tho
government steamer Cascades, and it
is expected she will soon be in service
again towing material to the-jetty.
The steamship George W. Elder
arrived at Tacoina Monday afternoon,
on her way back from Alaska. She
has quite a cargo of salmon for this
city and Portland, and has encoun
tered very pleasant weather. Tho
trip this tinio has been extended clear
to Chilcat. which is the most distant
port to which sieamers go for salmon.
Tho steamer S. G. Reed, Capt.
Kindred, was very late last evening
owing to breaking her tiller rope, and
had to drop anchor m the river near
Eagle Cliff. This caused a delay ol
an hour and a half. At tho time of
the accident, the Willamette Chief
wa3 met going back and was asked to
tow the Reed to the shore, but she
could not do it, as one of her engines
was disabled, and sho was trying to
work oacK to x'ortiana ior repairs.
