Immediately loosened his grasp on Ellis

some bale sacks. Ellis then walked over
to the overs.r's desk and fell on the
floor, Wood flowing from his wounds. The
wounded man was hurriedly taken to
the hospital, where it was found that he
had received knife wounds. One in the
breast pierced tho right lung, and one

only lived an hour. The men were on

DUN'S TRADE REPORT.
Now York, July 12. R. Q. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say: ,
A business flood so rapid and strong
.that conservatives fear it may do harm,
is out of season In July. But seasons
(his year lap over and cross each other.
The 'May frosts and tfrlghts, it is now
evident, kept back much business that
would havo been finished before mid
summer and delayed accumulation of one
season gets in the way of efforts to
begin another. But the volume ot busi
ness, it may bo assured, is remarkably
large for the month, even in a good year.
Exaggerated fears about the crops have
passed. The syndicate is believed both
able and determined to protect the treas
ury, and the time draws near when tiie
marketing of new crops will turn into
a national balance ft speculation does
not h'.nder. The demand for structural
iron is enormous. Failures this week
have been 263 in .ths United States against
247 last year, ond 36 in Canada against 48
last yerr.

general to direct the United States dis
trict attorneys of Oregon and California

Clatsop Sees a Eeal Train of
Regular Coaches.
IMPORTANT SUBSIDY DEEDS MADE
Large Holders on the West Side Sign
Deeds-All Eealize That the
Crisis Is Beached.
Yesterday witnessed the running of the
first train In Clatsop County carrying
first-class coaches. The train consisted
of the new cars placed on the Seaside
road Wednesday and the starting of the
train was witnessed by an enthusiastic
crowd of people at Warrenton, among
them a number of visitors from Astoria.
The people begun to realise that the
long-cherCsfhed project of a railroad to
Astoria is about to become a fact, and
much interest and enthusiasm is ex
pressed on all sides. Yesterday two of
the largest owners of west side proser.'y
signed their subsidy deeds and two others
egreed to do so at once. The situation
was explained to thein carefully by the
committee and they taw the Importance
of winding matters up on that tide with
out further delay. Now that the largest
holders have promptly come to the front
the others will no doubt follow suit right
vivtay, as these subsidy, mavters are all
that Is preventing construction. One
prominent land owner remarked that he
had stood in on the old railroad deal,
acknowledging that he had realized large
benefits from it, but said that he was
now on the lust page of his life, and did
not see what benefit he could der.ve from
the new road. But when It Was shown
that the advent of a railroad whlnh
would connect this territory with the rest
of the world, bring In a large population
and open up new markets and manufac
tures, would so enhance the residue ot
his lands that he would be relieved from
labor for the rest of his Kfe, and leave
tt-4ndependerit fortune to his children
he saw the business feature of the prop
osition and promised his aid. So others
were convinced of the necessity of meet
lng obligations and taking advantage of
the present opportunity of securing the
growth and prosperity of their com
munity.
Mr. 'Hammond went to Portland last
night to attend to Important business at
that end of the line, and it is hoped that
f4l .the time he reurns, the flrst of ithe
week, that all west side matters will
have been concluded.

A man came Into the city lost even

neighborhood of the Warm Springs, who
says that a man named John Rlchter
wtas drowned in that river on the after
noon of July 4. They were about nine
miles above Sherar's bridge, when they
procured an Indian canoe, Intending to
float down ths river, the craft passed
into 4 mpld place and capsized. Rlchter
got on the craft and fidated down the
river about two miles, but tn going over
the falls was washed off and drowned.
As soon as the boat turned over, the
other man swam to the shore, but h
could do nothing to rescue lis comrade.
As far as can be Warned Rlchter was

the water superlnitandent recommends
that the supply of waiter for the city

The Salem Statesman takes occasion to
say editorially: "The county olflclals
and other bloods moving in the higher
circles of Astoria, who insulted Rear
Admiral Walker by throwing bombs onto
the HgWthouss tender Columbine whichi
carried the distinguished visitor, make
the matter worse by explanations and
denials. They tad no business getting

sober In the future, people generally
will allow their feelings at the lndlguity
