Harrv Maraeuer. better known as "Hoodlum" Harry, yesterday thorough ly demonstrated What a low, worthless cur he has become. It has been said of him that rather than face one like a man, he would sneak up like a thief and cut-throat in the dark, and bandit ta like, thrust his victim in the back. Of course, such a method of warfare is altogether cowardly, and one other than a contemptible brute would resort to tt. But Hoodlum Harry has that sort of stuff in ihim, and it cropped out In good sized chunks yesterday when he silently stole up behind Ed. Lewelyn and attempted to shove an ugly-looking knife into his back. Lewelyn, who is a teamster for H. B. Parker, was In the little office adjoining the stable on Parker's dock, busily engaged in shaving himself, when glancing into the mirror he saw Hoodlum Harry with a big knife in his hand, sneaking up behind him. He turned Instantly. Just In time to dodge the murderous sneak, who said, as he made a wicked lunge at the teamster: "I've got you at last, you and I'll cut your heart out." But iLewelym was not ready to be deprived of his heart, so he wato'hed ' his dhance, and leading out with, a couple of sledge-hammer blows, sent he cowardly bum rolling onto the wharf. In a quiet but forcible way he Jammed Mr. Hoodlum's face into a pulp, and it is though, broke his nose. The would-be heart slasher sim ply lay on the wharf and with his dirty hands over an ugly mug, tried to avoid punishment. There was not a large audience present; only a few who had been attracted by the scuffle. After Lewelyn had punished the man what he considered a sufficiency, he walked away and left him lying on the dock squealing like a stuck hog. He disap peared after a while, and it will take several weeks for his ugly phiz to heal up. The cause of the attack on Lewelyn dates back a few months ago when he had Maneuer arrested for stealing a float line from him. Judge Osburn save Hoodlum 90 days but after a week or so, let him out with an understand ing that he stay away from the burnt district and lead a reputable life. A circular Issued by Commissioner of Navigation Chamberlain regarding tht collection of the tax on tonnage ol vessels has been received at the custom house. The new law providing for re ductions from gross tonnage repeals the former limitation of 5 per cent far crew space, and establishes substan tlally 'the saime system of measurement In vogue with other maritime powers.

Griffin will probably have a contract to let, reparirlng his house. It Is considerably damaged, and so is J. N.'s foot, as a result of a vigorous and wicked kick. No one has ever accused Mr. Griffin of being a kicker, but tow that the s'tory Is out, the hard kicker of the football olub will be com pelled to 'take a back seat. For some reason Mr. Griffin had a falling out with his dog, and wishing to get even with him, and avenge some alleged wrong, he bided his time, until tha other day he and the dog met unex-i pectedly at the corner of the h.nise. One was as surprised as the other, but James recovered first, and smothering a hard wrd, let go with bis right foot and made a terrific kick at his four- footed friend. Cut the dog didn't re main to receive the blow. He disap peared so quickly that fr an Instant Col. Griffin was In doubt as to whether th dog had been there or not. but he realized that he bad not kicked Into space. 'His foot took off a comer of the house near where the dog had been standing, and Mr. Griffin has sijvee been unable to attend to duties down town as a consequence.

Last evening the Ancient Order of Croakers held a meeting in Gray's old warehouse on the waterfront and dis cussed the latest news regarding the railroad situation. Dr. Kilnney, during flhe day, had received Information that Stanton was coming back to Astoria, and instantly the members of the or ganization threw up both hands, and declared the Jig up. It was for the pur pose of discussing ways and means of raising another subsidy and making a new start that the meeting was call ed. Space prevents mention of other than the Chairman's address, which was as follows ; "Friends and feller-citizens," he said In thunder tones, "we have met here this evenln' to take some action on this yer railroad that Is promised us, ef we will do our sheer tor"ds glttin' It. Out oity fer ye'rs has set with folded hands, while less favored places has gone to the front a whoopm.' The time haf come now when we air palled upon to come to the front ourselves. And we have got to do it or bust. Bust, I say, feller-cltlzens, fer we air mighty nigh busted right now. The railroad, feller cltlzens, stands fer progress, and wr need progress. Ef we had that railroad today we would be a different kind m people. We would have more'n we hev now, and wouldn't hev to work so hard fur It. Ef we had that railroad run ntn' right past our doors and farm houses and workshops, we wouldn't have to go fifty or seventy-five miles er even a hundred In all kinds of weather to hold up a train, but wt could do ti right here at home, and thi wilderness "would blossom like th rose." He had more ito say, but he touched the keynote in that last sentence, and Salmomopolis pledged herself then anc" there for all she Was worth, with vo ciferous unanimity. A. O. TJ. W. NOTICE.
