Chinese cigars were common property
last night. ,
Firecrackers last night drowned the
noise of the rain drops.
A Chinaman suspected of being the as
sailant of the man who is now dying in
Chinatown has been arrested on suspicion
by the police.
The funeral of Mr. Henry Powell will
be held at 1 o'clock this afternoon from
the family residence and the Presby

Jim Christy Is making himself known In
the east by sawing off slabs of old piles
that were driven forty years ago and are
still sound. These he Is sending to Boston
and New York.
Another Chinatown squabble yesterday,
for which "sam-sue" was responsible,
was the means of two shoemakers ob
taining handsomely broken heads. The
matter caused no excitement among the
Celestials, however, as the multitude of
new year's night duties put such a com
mon occurrence into the Bhade.
The C. L. S. C. meets, at 7:30 this even
' lng at the study of Rev. R. B. Dllworth.
The folllowlng papers will be presented:
'The life and writings of Xenophon,"

papers will be followed by full discussions

An A. D. T. messenger boy In Seattle,
named Harry Evans, aged about 14 years,
knows more about wires and electricity
now than he did a day or so back. Com
ing through the alley way between the
Post-Intelllgencer office and the Scheuerr
man block on Tuesday he came in con
tact with what looked like a loose piece
of wire dangling, from the roof. The re
sult was a boy knocked down, burned
about the neck and very badly scared.
The wire was a telegraph or telephone
wire which had been broken by snow
thrown from roofs and had fallen across
one of the Union Electric Company's live
wires, becoming thereby quite live itself.
The boy escaped without serious injury,
but his experience may be of value to any
person who feels inclined to trifle with
apparently harmless wires . lying loose
around the Btreet.
Along the Wharves
There was very little moving along the
water front yesterday as the bar was too
rough ' for anything to get out. The
"Columbia came In and the Oregon left for
San Francisco. The wind was reported as
blowing at 50 miles an hour 3 a. m.,
moderated to 48 miles at noon and by 4
o'clock had gone down to 30 miles an
hour. There are several ships outside
but the tugboats will not attempt to bring
them in till the weather settles. .
The steamer Homer cams down yester
day loaded to her mark and will pass out
today If the bar is smooth enough.
The British ship Alnsdale was towed to
the Sand Island anchorage yesterday but
could not doss out on account of the
rough sea on the bar.
The Star of Bengal will go to sea this
. morning If it is possible to get outside
the heads. .. '
The Birkdale has broken her windlass
and the underwriters have been notified
In order "that- she may be Inspected be
fore repairs are made.
The Ilwaco came in early yesteday with
a good load of freight and passengers.
Two clipper ships with freight for Seat
le are looked for to arrive soon. They
' are State of Maine, which left New York
July 27, with 1,461 tons for that city, and
the Conemaugh, " which left the same
port for this city with 1.TT9 tons of
' icht Th parzoear are mostly hard
ware, rails, Iron pipe and canned goods.
The steamer Ellis met with an accident
on Pueet Sound Tuesday near beattie.
Bhe is supplied with a boiler like the one
hioh fared so fatal on the Montlcello,
and when off Five-Mile point, near Seat
tie, a part of it blew out. The fireman
had lust eone aft to tell the engineer that
something was the matter, so luckily was
not hurt, both escaping the steam. Bhe

The Corpse SWung
From a Pole.
In the cold, gray mist of the early
morning yesterday, George Stevens start'
ed down town to feed his horses. Day
was Just breaking and everything was
chill and Cheerless. When he reached
the corner of Court and Genevieve streets
his heart Jumped to his mouth, and the
blood froze in his veins. There, swinging
slowly' to and fro with the storm, clearly
silhouetted against the gray sky, was the
figure of a man hanging thirty feet in
the air, from the end of the derrick used
to erect the new electric light poles. One
look told him the awful tale, and he made
a bee line for the stables, where, haggard
and breathless, ho related what, he had
seen to Frank Damant. Frank ran to
the end of the street, satisfied himself,
and calling up Coroner Pohl, told him
that a man had been lynched. With his
usual alacrity, the coroner jumped out
of bed, dressed himself, and ordering
Damant to get an express wagon ready,
wheeled out a pauper's casket and start
ed for the scene. By this time quite a
large crowd had gathered and when he
reached the spot he ordered the people
to give way and allow him to cut down
the corpse. The wagon with the colfln
came rattling up the street, followed by
half a hundred people who had heard of
the lynching, and with a morbid curiosity
wanted to see the remains cut down.
A 4 p. m. editor had been aroused
from his dreaming, and with a face
blanched to ashen whiteness came
puffing up tho street determined
to get out an extra while the ed
itor of The Astorlan slumbered. The
coroner had by this time climbed up th
electric light pole and made out the fol
lowing placard tacked to the back of the
Inanimate thing. , '
This man died a short and sudden
death for wanting to know from the wa
ter commissioners WHY he had to pay
his water rent when he didn't get any
water."
During the morning the spot was vIb-
lted by hundreds of people .who had heard
the terrible story. Among the crowd who
hurried to the place early was Secretary
Holly Van Dusen, who had been told that
one of his fellow commissioners bad been
lynched, and a report gained early cre
dence that. Frank Spittle had been held
up by thugs, robbed of a parchment deed
and strung to the derrick. It was. noon
before Captain McKevltt, assisted by a
small boy from one of the schools, cut
down the cause of the commotion, which
turned out to be one of the suits worn
at the masquerade, stuffed with straw.
Among the most Interested witnesses of
the affair were a lot of passengers on
the ocean steamer who went away with
the Idea that Astoria was a tough plac;
where "a man for breakfast" was a com
mon occurrence.
