The lumber schooner Robert nnd
Minnie, which was recently wrecked
at Sluitlaw, had a remarkable history.
Her keel was laid at Port Madiiion,
Wash, on July 4, 1876, and she was cn-
gasxHl In various trades. Her last mas
ter, Captain Thomas O'Fartrell, had
beein in command over 14 years, since
November, 18S0. The vessel registered
94 tons, and carried 145,000 feet of lum-
Der. Mie was owned by four men,
who each controlled a fourth Interest.
They are Messre. Reed, Daniel McKier
nan, James Naylan, and Captain Thom
as O'Farretl. The Robert and Minnie
finst gained prominence during the
Chilean troubles in 1S91. She was had
ed at Sin Picgo, California, with guns
for the Chilean Unsursnltfl, and trans
ferred the arms to Ithe steamer Itata
on the high seas. The United States
government got wind of the affair,
and sent out the cruiser Charleston,
which captured the Itata and brought
her to a Unfted States port. The Ri
ert and Minnie was also captured on
May 9, 1891, but was released, no arms
being found aiboard.

nlghit when hundreds of people, both
ladles and gentlemen, gathered to
witness the splendid program the boys
had prepared for the right of way
entemtainmemlt. The presence of so
many of Astoria's representative cltl
zens showed plainly that they were
working heart and soul to accomplish
the one great thing that is necessary
for Astoria's future prosperity a rail
road. Seated in a triple row entirely
around the great hall, the people were
packed as closely together as they
could possibly be with any degree of
comfort, and near the door the stand.

ate for the occasion. After the pro
gram at the club rooms Hhe majurlty
ot the crowd adjourned to Fisher's
HaM where to the music of the full
band, dancing was participated In un
til after midnight
The committees in charge of the af
fair deserve great credit for the man
ner in which they carried the whole
affair to the decided success that it
certainly was. Messrs. Howell and Dr.
Fulton are especially worthy of praise
for their earnest efforts In diaposlng of
tickets.
The sum realized was nearly $f.50,
and iwlll go towards paying (he inci
dental expenses of the various com
mittees on right of way. The spirit
manifested In aniaingilng for the en
tertainment, both among he members
of the Football Club oind the citizens
generally is the sort of spirit that will
make Aisitorta'a efforts tto secure a J
railroad, a success.
After the balll the foamd boys went
to the Palace Restaurant and seren
aded the proprietor, Mr. Wm. Whipple,
That gonial gentleman returned the
compliment by inviting the boys in and
treating tliero to a sumptuous repast.
Otto Petlenz, a German tailor who
has lately 'been In the employ of Flynn,
the Commercial street itallor, Is miss
In.?, and so are numerous articles
about ithlalt tailoring esttaibulshment. Mr.
Flynn went to Bear Creek Saturday
morning aad left Pellenz In Charge of
the place. He returned yesterday
morning emi nrulim? his place closed
up, was naturally surprised. He found
shortly, that the key hod been left at
S. Danziger's e'tore with Instructions
to give it to the owner when ho called.
He entered the place and soon dis
covered that a number of articles, such
as wearing apparel, oloth. and tailoring
tools wore missing. A search located a
portion of the articles in a down town
pawn shop, but of some of them no
trice could be found. Peilens was seen
o.i the streets Tuesday afternoon, since
when he has made himself decidedly
scarce. The officers have been noti
fied. A dUpaltoh from 'Denver of recent
date, refers probably to the npfcttual
Ists thiait were In Astoria last winter:
"Harry WeiTte, atlas Frank Hamilton,
was arrested tadUy by city detectives
on a telegram from the chief of police
of San JVise, Cai. He is said to be
wanted for obtaining $500 under fraud
ulent representations, from a woman.
Hamilton is a clairvoyant and a spirit
ualist, and since he has been in Den
ver he claims that a certain bond of
spiritualists are trytng to drum him
out of town and that the churre ha
been made to this end. Hamilton is
but 23 years old, but is an old com
panion of Jules Wallace, the spiritual-
ratio medium who gained so much no
tortety here and elsewhere.
