along side tbe bank at Boss' camp in
Wotjmrt slough, a large snag which
was on the bank, but could not be seen,
struck the steamer, knocking a hole

several surveyors holding claims for

Pacific Construction company and
succeeded in making things unpleas

bered that the attorney, recently ob
tained judgement against the corpora
tion for S3.4SS iu favor of W. H. Bain,
aud seeing nothing in sight to attach
except 391,000 worth of bonds which
the company has a lien on, he took
steps to tie them up in a legal double
half-hitch. This interferes seriously
with Mr. Reid's plans, and it is under
stood that tbo latter telegraphed Mr.
Curtis Saturday to visit him in Port

MISSED THE FORDING PLACE,
J. F. Halloran Narrowly Escapes
Drowning; ai Eft Creel
vxiei: ran the Tjuitn time.
Yesterday noou. as J. F. Halloran I
and E. A. "Weed were riding on horse-
o.ick, thc attempted to ford Llk
creek, but the tide was high and they
started in at tbe wrong place. When
but a few feet from shore the water
j rapidly grew deeper, and their horses
at once went under. They had lifted
their feet up to tbe saddles, thinking
tbe animals would wade, when sud
denly the latter stepped off tbe sloping
bank and commenced swimming, for
tbe water was fifteen feet in depth.
Having their feet up and knees bent
to keep from gettingwet, as the horses
dropped into tbe deep water, both men
were thrown from their horses. Major
Weed, though encumbered with cloth
ing and having on an overcoat, had
n y trouble in swimming across to tbe
opposite shore, and supposed Mr. Hal
loran had done the same. It seems,
however, that the latter could not
swim, and when he was thrown out of
the saddle, retained bold of tbe bridle
rein, turning bis horse around in a
circle. Then he let go the rein, seized
tbe horse by tbe tail, but soon lost bis
bold and was helpless in the water.
His companion shouted to him to
lay on bis back and keep bis bead
well back until be could bo reached,
then called to some men near a boat
by tbe shore to go to tbe help of tbe
struggling man. As quickly as pos
sible, George Ebennan jumped into
the boat, cut the rope, and was none
too soon, for Mr. Halloran bad gone
down for tbe third time, and only bis
baud was above the water. He was
quickly hauled into the boat and
brought on shore, and though he bad
swallowed considerable water, was
able to walk into H. F. L-. Logan's
bouse, close by.
Thomas Strowbridge, of Portland,
was in tbe house changing bis clothes,
and seeing the men in the water hasti
ly ran to the creek, undressing him
self as he went and jumped into the
stream, but tbe boat was first Mr.
Halloran was soon relieved of his wet
clothes and wrapped up warm in bed.
After eating dinner, and trying in vain
to dry his clothes, Major Weed rode
eight miles to Seaside, then came on
the cars to Young's bay and on the
T. J. Potter to this city, having worn
bis wet clothes over six hours.
FAVOKEI) BY CIRCUMSTANCES.
The
Breaking
Aids
of a
Telegraph
Escape.
Wire
Up to a late hour last night Sheriff
Smith and his deputies had been un
able to find any trace of Thomas
Moore, the swindler, who escaped
from the custody of a deputy the
night previous. At daybreak yester
day Deputy Jobu Kenny was on
horseback scouring the hills and the
couutry back of the city. He went up
the John Day's river, along the Lewis
and Clarke, and in other directions
until he satisfied himsslf that the es
capo had not gone in any of those di
rections, and the officers are now of
opinion that after starting for the bills
the man doubled on bis trades, and
while search was being made for him
back of the city, he went aboard the
Telephone and concealed himself.
It this was tbe case circumstances
favored the escape for the telegraph
lino went down Saturday night and
was down all day yesterday aud
Sheriff Smith was unable to notify
the police in Portland. The fugitive
will not bo able to get very far as the
jail officers say he had no money.
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS,
A Riothcr ami Sister Meet in this City.
Saturday F. W. Newell, secretary
and superintendent of the City Bail
road company, made up his mind to
spend Sunday at the Seaside. When
he awoke yesterday morning, however,
and saw the overcast sky be decided
not to go, and a few hours later ho
was glad he didn't, for the trip would
have delaved his meeting a sister
whom he had not seen for twenty-five
years.
The meeting was a strange one
and came about by accident
Brother and sister had greatly
changed during the quarter of a cen
tury they had been apart and as Mr.
Newell had not received any word of
his sister's intended trip to this
section, he was not a little surprised.
The gentleman was walking along
the street when he noticed a lady, ac
companied by a youug man, ap
proaching. Ho was strongly attracted
to them, and in the boy's face saw a
resemblance that caused him to stop
the lady.
She proved to be Mrs. F. H. Wat
rous, of Chicago, Mr. NewelPs sister.
The lady had arranged aud success
fully carried out a little surprise for
her brother. Mrs. "Watrous and her
son will spend several days here.

THAT SCHOOL TROUBLE.
One of lite
Directors Has
to Say.
Something
Speaking of the reported trouble
brewing in tbe scbool department
between Superintendent Sbively and
tbe directors, mention of which was
made in Tun Astoiuax yesterday.
Judge Taylor, wbo is a director in dis
trict 18, stated tbat so far as tbe board
in bis district was concerned tbere
bad been no tronble. "It is true,"
s:ii1 the. gentleman, "tbat wo elected

street school who had no certificates,
but the election was conditional that
they pass examination and thus qual
fy hemselves before the school term
opened. Should they fail to pass the
examination they would not be en
titled to, nor wonld they get the posi
tions.' As regards the lady from Kansas,
who was to have a position iu the
TJppertown school, the judge said he
knew nothing at all about the case
but he had heard that application
had been made to the superintendent
for a permit. As to any attempt to
coerce the superintendent by the di
rectors, the gentleman said be had
never heard of such a thing and was
sure the directors in his district were
guiltless.
THE STEAMER "MANZANITA."
Some of the Points of Excellence Concern-
ins tbe New Boiler.
The new boiler that the Manza
nita received recently has proved far
more economical as regards the con
sumption of fuel and space taken up,
than the old one.
To maintain a speed of ten knots,
thirteen to fourteen tons of coal were
consumed in a run of twenty-four
hours with the old boiler, when there
are but nine tons used for the same
speed with new ones. The boiler is
considered to be about the best one
ever turned out in San Francisco. It
is covered with a new composition
of magnesia with asbestos pressed into
blocks three feet long, six inches wide
by one and one-fourth inches thick.
It is lashed to the boiler with wire
and then covered with two thick
nesses of heavy drilling pasted on,
iron hooped and then painted with
paraphine paint It is superior to the
asbestos mortar so commonly used, in
that water will not destroy it It can
be cut off and used again and is prac
tically indestructible. It is found to
be the greasiest non-conductor of
heat known. The Manzanita's
boiler is the only one iu this section
having such a covering.
The boiler is also provided with E.
H. Tucker's patent bridge walls.
These bridge walls are in use on
nearly every steamer of any import
ance sailing out of the port of San
Francisco. It is well to state to the
uninformed that a bridge wall is a
raised portion of the furnace at the
inner end of the grate bars. Tucker's
patent consists of a hollow piece of
cast-iron rising one foot above the
grate bars and with perforations
through the top. A current of air
can be admitted through these per
forations at will, thus recharging the
combustion chambers with fresh air.
Generally there is not sufficient air
passes through a coal fire of this kind
to consume the gases in the connec
tions and tubes. Tucker's patent
remedies this fault by passing fresh
air beneath the fires and beyond them
mingling with the gases and smoke
and consuming them.
No cinders fall on the Manzanitafs
deck, as formerly, and very little
smoke escapes, the combustion being
as near complete as possible. One can
readily see tbo benefit to be derived
when the sizes of the old and new
boilers are known. The old boiler be
ing ten feet longer than tbo new and
consuming five tons of coal per day
more than the new. Tbe Manza
nita's next trip will be to Destruction
island.
MILITARY CHANGES.
General John Gibbon Started to San Fran

General John Gibbon, accompanied
by Lieutenant Lovering, A. D. C, left
Vancouver yesterday afternoon for
San Francisco to assume command of

ception of Lieutenant Lovering, will
remaiu here. The department staff
will bo maintained and the depart
ment organization retained. The sen
ior colonel will bo in command. It
is rumored tbat General Brooke who

called it to the attention of a relative, wbo
happened to be Dr. F. A. Barrett, tho well

differed from the potash preparations in that
it was purely vegetable, and becoming Into

in a subsequent letter candidly admitted its
curative properties, and says:
Wishing to test Its virtues further, I used
it in my own family, and proscribed It for
patients who required a general system
regulator. As a result I can say it is an
almost absolute euro for constipation, bi

from a disturbed condition of the stomach

I the best laxative and stomach regulator I

TWO VISITORS OF GBEAT NOTE,
A MicMiaii Lmlier Man SeeMng
Timber in This Section,
SEEKLSt: A HOOD JXi'ESTMEXT.
i
There were two notable arrivals at ;
tbo Occident hotel yesterday. Onei
T , , , .,
was J. W. Alderman, n gentleman I
whose mission it i.s lu seek investment ,
for English capital and who several
months ago negotiated for nearly all
the salmon canneries oj ths Colum
bia river to boul for sale to an En
glish syndicate, which at that time
concluded they wanted lo control the
salmon as well a the brewery busi
ness. The trade fell through, however,
and Mr. Alderman turned his atten
tion to finding a purchaser for the
Astoria and South Coast railroad
bonds. How successful he was re
mains to be seen, but bo is supposed
to be responsible for whatever negoti
ations "William Beid has under way,
and in the event of a sale, which now
seems probable, the visitor will be en
titled to considerable credit His visit
here at the present time has no signif
icance whatever as far as the railroad
is concerned. He stated that he
needed a rest, and as he had never
been to the Clatsop beach he con
cluded to put in a few days at Sea
side. Ho left yesterday afternoon,
but will return here to-day and
leave for Portland in the evening, in
company with Capt James T. Gray.
Th other visitor is Ezra Bust, who
signs from Michigan. There is noth
ing in Mr. Rust's appearance that
woidd indicate him as more than an
ordinary everyday visitor Avho came to
see Astoria. But his mission here is
one of business, purely.
Mr. Bust is a very wealthy man. He
resides in Sagiuaw, Mich., and is
largely interested in the lumber busi
ness iu that section. Whether he,
like others, believes that the Michigan
forests are petering out and that the
lumber supply of the future must
come from this and the sister state of
Washington, is not known, but Mr.
Rust comes with the intention of buy
ing several acres of forest hereabout.
Last "winter a brother of the visitor,
senior member of the great lumbering
firm of Rust, Burroughs & Tillotsou,
of Michigan, was m Astoria and when
he returned east he carried with him
title to 400,000,000 or 500,000,000
feet of lumber in the tree. Most of it
is back of Kuappa on Big creek.
While the gentleman now visiting here
does not say so, it would not create
much surprise to see the plant of one
or more extensive saw mills lauded
here within a few months. Yesterday
Mr. Rust was out in the country with
G. B. Gough, the well-known loeater.
CROP-WEATHER BULLETIN. NO. 23.

A Good Game of Ball at Smith's Point
Yesterday.
One of the best games of ball dur
ing the season was played at the
Smith Point grounds yesterday by the
Astoria and Columbia nines. The for
mer club was victorious, but had no
! walk-over as the boys in the Columbia
nine played good ball. The fielding
on both sides was excellent and the
men guarding the bases did noble
- At the end of the sixth inning
the game was a tie, both sides having
five mia& iu the seventh inning, how-
ever, bad errors on the part of the Co-

they maintained to the finish.
