Mr Spreckles reeeutly put tbe Break water, a fine passenger, in service between this place aud San Fran cisco, and in addition to its freight and passenger business it is carrying from 400 to 500 tons of coal to San B’ rancisco every week.

Carrying passengers and mail. Wm. Dayton a logger, while work ing in Stimmerman camp about Al legany received injuries yesterday that resulted in his death about a half an hour after the accident. The unfortunate man, in company with two others, was standing on a log near the landing when another log came flying down the chute toward them. They saw their dan ger and started to run. Dayton, in some manner, missed his foot ing aDd fell between the log on which he had been standing and the other and was carried the full length of the stationary log, having his legs and arms broken and being otherwise badly mangled. A messenger was at once dispatch ed for medical aid, but the man died before assistance could be ren dered him. T. J. Lewis, the under taker, was at Allegany, when the news of tbe accident reached that place, he having gone there with the body of David McClay, and having some knowledge of medi cine he immediately started for the scene of the accident with the in. tention of rendering first aid to the- injuerd man, but the messenger of death was before him and the only help he could give was to prepare the body for the funeral. The remains were brought to town this morning and will be bur ied nnder the auspices of the local Aerie of Eagles, of which order the deceased was a member of ouly one month’s standing. The funeral will be held in the M. E. church at 2 p. m. tomorrow, and the remains in. terred in the I. O. O. F. cemetery. Rev. Chas. T. McPherson will con duct the services. William Dayton was well known here, having resided on the bay and ia Tenmile, where he owned a claim, for the past four or five years. He was a native of Wisconsin and about 45 years of age.— Post.

A weather bureau with an automatic apparatus for pre dicting early frost might be estab lished on the top of one of the mountains. The authorities of Mt. Vernon, New York, have found a way to put a stop to the use of soft coal by the locomotives running on the railroads through that place. They proposed to arrest the engineers, if it had to be done with the aid of tbe militia. The result is coke is burned while a train is running through that city and the smoke nuisance is abated.

The reason is this: If the Republican plurality should happen to be exceptionally large it will be regarded as indicating a national Republican success. If the plurality is less than normal it may indicate a national victory for the Democrats. n o t ic e . Goods called for aud delivered in Coquille City. I keep in stock Cigars and Tobac co.
