to the conclusion yesterday Uiat life
was not worth living, and securing an
anvil to a rope, tied the other end
around his neck nnd proceeded towurds
the end of the dock to Jump off into the
river. The anvil wus so heavy that Just
before he reached the edge of the dock
ho diiled It, and It tore its way
thrjugh the rotten planks, dragging
Martin down with its weight.. The hole
was not large enough to allow the paa
sage of his body, but the anvil was of
such weight that it came near choking
him to death before assistance reached
him. It is said that Martin was very
much under the intlucnce of liquor at
the time, and no other cause can bo as
signed for the rash act.
AGROUND.
Ship Reaper On a Bar Above Tongue
Point.
The ship Reaper, which started up the
river yesterday afternoon drawing 21
feet of water, bound for Portland,
grounded about a mile and a half above
Tongue Point, in the river channel, near
buoy No. 2, on Taylor's seining grounds.
She was In tow of the tug Escort at
the time, the river tug being in waiting
across the bay to take her up the river
The captain telegraphed to Portland for
a lighter, and it is estimated that there
will have to be from 200 to 300 tons taken
out of her before she can proceed to
her destination. This proves that the
freshet of the past month has tilled the
Columbia channel, and as the river falls
this state of affairs will be liable to
happen on all the bars between Astoria
nnd Portland.
NET THIEVES ARRESTED.
Officer Sep.foldt urrsted two men yes
terday monrnlng, named E. W. Frank
lin, alias Tebo, and his partner, Harry
AVIlsori, for havlng ln their possession a
boat containing a nearly new net, which
they claimed that they were hiding
"just to play a Joke on a follow." The
officer noticed that the cork buoy was
cub away and that they had DO or 60
fathoms of the net in their own boat,
which looked to him as a peculiar joke
on the face of it, so he placed them un
der arrest. The boat and net proved to
have been stolen from the vicinity of
the U. P. dock and belonged to William
Hume.
The prisoners had their hearing be
fore Judge Osburn yesterday afternoon.
and were bound over in default of $300
ball to await the action of the grand
Jury.
THOSE RECORDS.
There will be no county court held
until Monday next. A deputy has been
- sent down to Seaside to have Judg? Mo
Gulre sign the records of the county
and probate courts. It may astound our
citizens and taxpayers generally to
know that the Journal of the probate
court for a year and the law journal of
the county court for eighteen months
have not been signed. Had Judge Mc
Guire been tikn away during his late
illness the business transacted during
this time might have been rendered null
and void, thus placing a great many
important matters end interests in the
most serious jeopardy. County Clerk
Trenchard has repeatedly suggested and
urged the signing of these recuids, real
izing the necessity for keeping them
straight, but he has been as often put
off with excuses for delay. Whether the
commissioners and the attorneys repre
senting the Interests involid were
aware of this neglect is not known, but J
the latter certainly now realize that
things have run tx loose, and it has at
last been determined to have them prop
erly attended to. Somebody is responsi
ble for this state of affairs, and should
be held accountable by the people. It
may be that no blame attaches to Juoge
McGuire personally, but It can be truth
fully said that under the administration
of Judge Page the records were always
regularly and promptly signed.
