THE IHLT BESTADRABT-JEFF'S LOCAL RAILROAD RUMBLMS. m. ReM Said to Haye WltbOrawn From tlie Construction Co, a sjar.KJt is Tim nooni'TLi:. It was rumored in railroad circles yesterday that the Pacific Construc tion company had passed out of the control of Win. Eeid and hereafter will be managed by J. H. Smith and Hoffman & Bates, ako that W. H. Corbeit, the Portland banker, was in- i terested in the company under its new management The report, which is credited to E. P. Thompson, who was here Wednes day, also states that the new company will at once begin work of construc tion on the main line of the Astoria & South Coast railroad, and that a con tract satisfactory to Sie Get, the Chi nese contractor in this city, wouldjbo made by Saturday. Yery little credence is placed in the report, or that portion of it rela tive to a resumption of work. Several directors of the railroad think that thftrfi la ;i Inrrro lilnrlr man in flo J wood pile, and that the withdrawal of I Mr. Beid from the Construction com pany is a little scheme of his, the na ture of which will transpire at the coming election of the South Coast directory.

WHAT SHE TOLD HER FATHER, MicMl Repeats tic Story His Dangliter Tola Him in Portlanfl. A VERY PATHETIC 11ECITAL Nothing new developed in the Johu son murder case yesterday. The de tails of the tragedy and the circum stances leading up to it were the sub ject of general discussion. In the jail Michell, the homicide, passed a very restless day. He was more talkative than on Wednesday, and to several visitors he told the story of the killing as related in yesterday's Astobian through his attorney. He described the meeting between himself and daughter in Portland in a very pathet ic manner, and related to an Asto hian representative the details of the child's confession to him. He said when he had located his daughter he sent an officer into the house first to prepare her for his com ing. On his entrance the child wrap ped her arms about his neck and cried. He kissed away tho tears and then drew from her the story of her shame. The girl, so Michell says, told him that Will Johnson had driven her from Astoria. She in formed her father that he followed her about tho house every where, and on each occasion when no one was about, would caress and fondle her in an indecent manner. In an swer to a question by her father as to whether Johnson had done any thing worse, the girl said yes and began to cry. "Then" said Michell, "I vowed to kill him and so stated to Mr. Gregory, with whom my daughter was living, but he, Mr. Winton and others, per suaded mo to do nothing rash and I consented to let the matter rest for awhile and see what was best to be done. Bnt when I learned that John son had been bragging of his conduct ttith my daughter my resolution failed me and I renewed my vow to kill the man; the rest you know." The inquest on tho body of John son will be resumed at 1050 o'clock this morning. At 2 o'clock Michell will bo arraigned for examination in Justice Cleveland's court Michell's daughter will bo an im portant witness in tho case, and is ex pected to arrive here on the steamer Thompson with Sheriff Smith this morning.

Wood and Sheriff Smith of Astoria, had an interview with Nellie Michell just prior to the leaving of tho boat for Astoria, at tho city jail this even ing. The girl said: "About two weeks before I left, when alone at Mrs. Yin cent's, Johnson camo in, picked me up, and threw me on a lounge. He tore my clothes from mo and attempted an ontrage. At this juncture Tom Collins came in and I said I would tell Collins. Johnson remarked, 'I don't give a if you do.' A few days before I left Astoria Johnson again attempted liis former act Ho threw me on the floor of tho kitchen, but just then Mrs. Sandy came into tho room. "I changed my names so that John son would not liud mc He said he would follow me until he accomplished my ruiu aud said he would also try to ruin Ida Benson, but Ida was too large for him to handle." The girl would not waver from this statement This is her previous statement to Officer Wood, when ho first located tho girl at the residence of lawyer Gregory. SIAKIXK NEWS AND NOTES.

Flfteentli Day of tlie Seemlier Term, Thursday, Ocl 2, '90. .V UMEIl O VS CA SES DECIJiEl). The cases against Doc. and Bute Whitfield on a count of larceny, were dismissed in the Circnit court yester day, and tho defendants discharged from custody. Doc. Whitfield was tried on one charge a few days ago and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, the evidence being insufficient to warrant a conviction. As the evi dence was virtually the same in both cases the District Attorney decided that it was not worth while to go to trial. Dan O'Brien and James Doyle, arrested for complicity with the Whit fields, are yet to be tried. In the case of the stato against Eddie Moore, ono of the two enter prising youths who worked the change racket on Mrs. Gowau, a Third street store keeper, a plea of former acquit tal was entered, the defendant having been put upon trial a few days ago upon a faulty indictment The plea was sustained by a jury and Moore discharged from custody. His broth er who was arrested at tho same time escaped from the county jail a few weeks ago and has not since been captured. In the cases of William Scott aud Thomas Kearney, accused of having robbed an old man named Nelson, and in which case tho jury disagreed, the bail of tho accused was reduced to $150 each. Constable Fred Oberg appeared be fore tho court on a writ of habeas corpus, having been convicted of ar resting a sailor on board n foreign ship for debt Tho court held tho law in regard to the matter was un constitutional, and the constable was discharged. Ah Hing, another opium-smoker, was before the court, but as tho evi dence against him was slim, an order of dismissal was entered and the Pa gan's bail money refunded. The remainderof tho session was given over to divorce business, the first case called up being that of P. J. Meany against Mary Meany. The case was not ready for trial, but on motion of defendant's attorney the plaintiff was ordered to pay 8100 into court for tho expenses of the wife pending the trial of the suit Theuin turn camo Mrs. Katie Lin ville, Mrs. Lucy Boso and Mrs. Mar garita Sandy. All the ladies wanted divorces, aud, except in the Saudjj case, tne nusoanu cud not seem to ob ject, for they did not put in any ap pearance. Mrs. Linvillo told a story of cruelty on the part of her husband, whom she said had, during a series of years, called her names aud abused and beat her. She was given a di vorce. Mrs. Bose's ground for a divorce was that ono morning her hubby got up mad, packed his "grip-sack," came down stairs, called her a series of vile names and bid her farewell, and since then she had not seen him. A divorce was granted. Mrs. Sandy had, like Mrs. Linville, a tale of cruelty to telL It was an or dinary story of failure to provide, abuse, etc., and tho court granted the womau's prayer, giving her a divorce, the custody of the children and $25 a month alimony. 'Llfflits and Shadow. Speaking of the play "Lights and Shadows," which will be produced at Boss' opera houso next Monday even ing, tho New York World says: "Tho play, 'Lights and Shadows,' which has been running during tho past week at tho Windsor, has proved a pronounced financial success. Its strong, realistic and local scenes, and its intense dramatic story, proved suf ficient to pack the theatre nightly. There cannot bo a doubt but that in a commercial sense this is tho most suc cessful play that Charles S. Gaylor has written. Tho pieco is rendered .with n 'go' that is remarkable. Tho sensa tional incidents that followed ono up on another worked the audience up to a pitch that culminated in tho scene of the safe vault, which brought down the house again nnd again. Tho cast is excellent The piece shows material improvement over its form as seen last season." The sale of seats will open at tho N. Y. Novelty Store to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. TTHY BID HE GO?

Thirty-Fire Oat or Erery Fifty Tacom Jlcn Are DoiT'Legged. "Are you bow-legged? Nearly everybody else in Tacoma is." Such was tho remark of ono gentle man to another a3 they listened to tho music on the Tacoma hotel porch last evening. The person addressed had his lower limbs encased in extra wide trousers, and, therefore, the crooked ness or straightness of those articles could not be gleaned by a superficial glance. Acting upon this remark of the ap parently observing gentleman, who was a visitor on his way to Alaska, a Record reporter started out to in vestigate the subject for himself. While walking up Ninth street this morning ho kept his eyes open, and what he saw indeed surprised him. Hardly a man or a youth trod up the hill from Pacific avenue to Bailroad street who was not afflicted with a bow in either or both legs. The victims were in all stages of the terrible afflic tion, and the eyes of an observer could easily detect he who had bnt recently started to curve underneath and also he who had "bpen there" for years. Out of fifty men, youths and boys who struggled up that hill, just thirty five were boy legged, some much so and some just a little so. In every group o! three or four the majority carried with them bent lower limbs. Ono man almost tread one foot upon nnother a3 he walked, while another, a handsome young fellow with a beauti ful blonde mustache, stepped out in a curious way, apparently conscious of the fact that his limbs were beginning to turn, and evidently seeking to hide the factfrom the general public. Thecausobtso much crookedness in the city of destiny is a natural ono and a surely insurmountable one the hills. To climb them and Tacomans can not do without climbing them in some degree is a strain on tho nether limbs, aud gradually they givp way, and in some cases bring "humiliation to tho owners. There are plenty of handsomo men in Tacoma to-day who would give anything to have their legs straightened, and as much can be said of plenty ot the young ladies or Taco ma. Tacoma liccord.
