More than half llie history hat been completed nnd the printing has been commenced. About iaoo copies have) been sutacribed for and the jpubtltlter eipvvts to ralm the number to aooa The Latest Act In the Chinese farce. When wo went lo pre latt werk Judge Dyer linj under ceiiildernllon nn application for in order rcttrnlnlng Chin Sue Quong from marry ing the Chlnrw girl Tye Tye. Subtcriuently the application for n restraining order was withdrawn nnd ah application made for the appointment of a Rinmtliui for theglrl, Thl the Judge granted, and thereupon he appointed John Kruse a said guardian. The girl proclaimed herself 18 years of age and flatly refused to go with Krute, whereupon the Judge withdrew the appointment of Krute and substituted Charley Illlborn In stead, 'litis appointment proved sttlifactory to the girl And her odvliera nnd the contented to be governed by Illlborn. J-nH 'lliurtdny Illlborn gnve his content for the girl lo mar'ry Quong and the wedding took place nt V.mplre. This would have been a good lima to drop the curtain, nnd give the twain it rest, nnd nny but heathens would have tlone so, Hut tha pros eculors and persecutors of Quong did not so will it, and lait Friday he wat taken before Uni ted Slate Commlitloncr Otten on n charge of having violated the Internal revenue laws by sell ing liquor without a license. The hearing wnt concluded Saturday night, when tho commli tloncr took the mailer under advisement until 10 o'clock Monday morning, when he held the prlsonrr to antwer In-fore the United Slate gmnd Jury nt I'orllnnd, for which place United Stairs deputy Mafthat Weliell started with him yettcrday morning. If one half the stories totd on the streets be true, this protecutlon nnd iersecutlon of Chin Sue Quong nnd Tye Tye ha been a thamelrt nffalr on the part of J. M. Siglln nnd T. O, Owen, It it aertcd lint the father and mother of the girl detlred lo tell her to n.Chlniunin hi San Francisco for n large sum of money. To avoid thlt the girl ran away from home nnd was anx lou lo marry Quong. One repoil It that Slgtln nnd Owen were to receive n fee of $500 from the father of the girl In cate they tuccctded In returning her to him. In order to bring nlwut this retultll became nee eury to dljKHe of Quong in some way, anil thl account for tha various actions bronglit ngnlntt him, Falling in nil the other court and In every other way to bring about the detlred result, ft look nt If Siglln and Owen finally concluded to take Quong before u couit of Iheir own, where they could have esery thing their own way. So far, this Utt move hat been n complete tiiccct. but whether they have tiicceeded in gobbling up Ixe Wing $J'jo for the disgraceful tervicct ren dered we nre unable to say. We hope not. The evidence on which Commissioner Owen held Quong to answer was wholly Chinese, un suttalned by any circumstances whatevrrcnlcu hied to give It reliability. Three Chinamen swore lint Quong told them China whisky nt a cvit.im house during tho Chinese New Year, while Quong nnd others swore that there was no Chi'ta hi sky a,! nil at the house at the lime Hated, and that the American whitky used wat very limited In rpiantlty. Kvidcnlly the testimony for the prosecution wat prepared tor the otxation, nnd 11 tne niior itcys Imd no hand In Itt preparation, they are misjudged by the reteeia1il )ortlon of thlt community, who give them credit for concoct ing the whole scheme. The universal srrdlct of the people is thlt thlt tut len one of the most fl igrant outrages ever ierpctrated In this or any other community ttit der tlie guise of law. It Is no wonder tint thr Chinese ha: no re spect for our laws, when they can find attorneys ready and anions to stoop to low for such a trifling consideration. llie presumption It that United Stales District Attotney Watson will move n dismissal of the case nt Portland after he peruses the evidence nnd listens lo a statement of the one by Qitong's nttorney. If he does otherwise he will do wrong, Quong took the Portland psrt of the pro gramme philosophically and Jocularly reunrked to some of his while friends, a few minutes tie fore he started, that Im wits going to Portland on n sort of pleasure trip, and that hi counsel, S. II. Ilnurd, wnt going too. To alUy nny apprehensions on the urt of his friends that he might be short of fundi, Quong pulled from his pockc; and eshiblted a handful of twenty-dollar plccrt, Departure of Leonard) the Murderer. Latt Saturday Sheriff Joseph Smith of Cow llti county, W. T.t and Detective D. fl Mon tcllh ol Albany, this state, arrived 011 the bay to take charge of At J, Leonard nnd coiiCVy him to tha penitentiary of Washington territory, where he will le confined until-the time for his trial in Cnwllti county on the charge of having mur dered Ambrose I'attou at or nc.tr Frccxrt. About ia o'clock Sunday night the officers stalled back with their prisoner, going from Em pire via Jarvli, Cornwall & Cos stage and steam, boat line to Drain's. To nsold the potslhitty of trouble with I-eon-an), his hahdt and feet were securely mimicled. I.tit Saturday leonnrd had his whiskers shaved off, and when the officers arrived he pre sented his former and ntlural appearance In the face. He and Smith svere acquainted, and there was no restraint on Leonard's urt in conversing ssltti Smith In regutd to the crime with which Ixonatd Is charged. Muntrilh and Ix-onard were also slightly ac quainted, but at the time we conversed with the detective he had not made himself known to I-coniml and I-eonnnl had not recognised him, As related by Montclth, the circumstances connected with the murder which I-eonanl I nccuscd of having committed made It. n cold-blooded one, for tho purpose of robbery, perhaps more than revenge. Patton, I-eonard's brother-in-law, had hit faults, and at times, during dissipation, may have abused his wlfo and father-in-law, us I.con ard says. At the time Patton wat murdered tie was sup posed to lutso a wntch anil some $400 In money on Ills person. When the Itody was found the watch nnd money were gone. Montelth after wards recovered the waich In PortUnd, where lonard had pawned or sold It. Soon after the murder wns committed, Leon, ard left the county, and litis gave rise to the sus picion that he was the guilty party, A little In. vestlgailon doseloped n chain of circumstances calculated lo convict him of the crime, nnd there upon Sheriff Smith offered the reward for lilt Arrest nnd detention, Patton was waylaid nnd killed by a charge from a shotgun, which took effect In his neck. The charge consisted of 19 buckshot and a pis tol ball, and the wadding used In loading tho gun was made of paper taken from the wrapping of a patent-medicine bottle, The assassin threw the corpse Into the riser and It was not found for scseral days thereafter. Pi lor to tha murder Leonard had borrowed a shotgun from tome one, and loaded it, perhaps In the piesence of the loaner, In the manner de scribedputting 19 buckshot and a pistol ball In each band and using the patcnt-medlclne paper for wadding, After the murder Se returned the gun, ona barrel empty nnd the other charged. When (he charge was drawn It exactly corres ponded with the one that had killed Patton, After Leonard left Cowllti county he went to Portland, where he changed his name to Andrew JacUon, and ull Uace of him wiu lost by the officer for several months, nfler which ho seems lo have put In appearance At Albany, where Montdth, by the opening of letter by mistake, ntcertAlned'trmt Leonard, nlfrtt Andrew Jdckton, wnt a murderer. The letter was from Leonard' niece At Olympla, and at first Montelth supposed tlrf) murder had been committed nt that place or In llml vicinity. He ojwned a correspondence with the sheriff nt Olympla, and finally succeeded In locating the murder at of near FreeHrt, 150 or more miles from Olympln, but by this. time (.eonard had skipped nnd gone to Jackson county, where ho remained for tome months be fore Montelth ngaln got track of hint. Ionnnl npeiirs to have found out that he was In danger of arrest In Jntkson county, for he left tint place for this about 11 month ago, andjutt about that time Monlcllh went theie to capture him. After l-eonard reached the bay he wns Again lost by Montelth, nnd prolxibly might hive re mained here secure from arrest all his life had he kept away from San Francisco. Montelth Is rt man nliout 30 years of age, Who lienrs n good appearance nnd seems to be well up In hls'biislues. He says he I the chief offi cer of Ihl state ami Washington territory for the Pacific const detective association, with Its headquarters nt San Francisco. When Montdth began cnmplng on Leonard's trail, he reKrled the case nt headquarters, nnd when 1ton.ird visited Sun Francisco he was' spotted bythedcteethes there, but not In lime to effect hi arrest before he got nwny on the strainer for thlt place. The chief of the association at San Francisco nt ence notified Montelth that hi man had Ijccii there nnd had left for this place, and Montelth notified K. V. Pierce, the agent of the Atsocla lion heie, who, In connection with Marshal Khodci, effected the arrest as related by us latt sveek. Sheriff Smith, who came for Ixvmard and paid the reward fur his nrrcst, is a gentleman alxjul 55 years old. A portion of the $300 reward went to the as sociation In San Francisco, n iortlon to Mon teith, nnd another' portion lo Pierce, who divided with K nodes, so no one made any very good thing out of It. Pierce nnd Khodct had to pay from their share the cxpentts Incident to Leonard's arrest and de tention here until the arrival .of Smith nnd Mon telth. CORRESPONDENCE. The Lecture Room, Billiards and the Sewing Circle. To the Editor of the Coast .Mail r I have heard fourth-of-July orations, political Sieeches, attended traveling theaters, shows and circuses, and luck In my childhood I once at tended rt menagerie nnd saw the elephants; 1 base heard real good, old-fashioned otthodox sermons; heard Mrs. Dunlway lecture ind MiM Lute glse a reading, but I neser heard n lecture given by one of the male sejt until last Thursday night, other than what spe-akfng I have heard In the Mirshfleld literary society, nnd I wish now for the pen of a.newsjxiier reporter, that I might iletcrihe the speaker's appearance, reorter fash ion, so thaUjhose that were not there might know the cut of his broadcloth, the st) le of his shirt collar, his jewels, and how he parted his hair; but 1 cannot do lL I was wondering nil the way up to the aoidemy building what hesvas going to say on hit chosen subject I don't wonder no. They came In by tisos, threes, and by thu half-doierr, until the room was filled "llti the good people of Marshflcld, nnd I felt surprised that a resident spe.tker should draw such n full house. Then enme the jaker. with n tialf-Liwjer, half-ministerial look, and at once began, nnd not a word was lost, by me nt least; but I will not attempt to write any of it down, for now, nfter a night's sleep, I might not get It correct. I might 111.1 Lc Kacli.id Us Ja cob, the minister sny "You liet your life," or get the cowhide IkoIs on the wife and the daisies op the man's head; o I might set the Dutchman's cat and dog to fighting or get the dlsorcc YJInea" la with marriage. So I will only say that I think It (s real nice to hnsen place, ailde from saloon or dancing hall, where old and young can go and listen to something nt enter taining as Mr. Gray's lecture. I would be ghd to go nt least once a fortnight, escn if n few of my home affairs were remiss in consequence. Marshticld, it seems, cannot support a littiur) society; our minds need food as well as our bo dies; we need topics fur conversation aside from the weather, the prospect or crops and the uc cumuLslion of dollars and cents, nnd many a good seed may he sownln the mind of the youth in the lecture room. I think nearly all will ngreej with me that Mnrsliheld needs some places of attraction for the young men, to keep them from the gaming table. Milliards might tie good for lioyi occasionally, but when ersUtrd in all the time, I nm afraid it Is bad and lus n tendency to cie.Ue u taste for gambling. Still I knosv that buys, so brimful of mischief nt some I know, might Indulge In something worse than a game of blllutrdt. Vet It Is- prusoking toyoushcn there is n lecture or something of the kind com ing off, and you would like to haso your boys tic. there, nnd feel sure they have money enough to more than pay an ndmlttance fee, and then, when you gel home, have them tell you It wns a pay lecture and they could not get in because they had ent all their change nt a few g.uiifs of billiards. Now I da not know as it is proper for me to make any suggestions as regards such things, seeing 1 am a fennle nnd not supposed to know much about business regulations, yet I cannot help thinking thoughts cannot be fet tered nnd it has occuned lo me tint when ther! 1 anything coming off that it would be n benefit to the )0uth to attend, U1.1t on tlijt day let the billiard room lie closed to boys. Iloys and girls, from ia to so years old, nre a trjlng urt of cre ation, with their self-esteem and readiness to adopt the ways of men nnd women; nnd yet all the follies and frivolities are not confined to young folks; "men nre only bojs grown tall." The Marstifictd ladles, I see, have taken step to organlte a sewing society. I wish them suc cess and hope there will not be a missing button or unrepaired rent in the next ten scars. If 1 did not base to help make the butter tint so many of )ott rat, I would llko to join In with them, so lint I could hue the pleasure uf say ing what should lie done with the proceeds of such labor; I mean helping to say.

We have good authority for the state ment Hint ttie Newport co.il company Is making arrnneements for carrying the output of the mine to San Francisco by steamers. If Holt purchases the vessel he went to see, he will re turn by rail and she svill be brought out by an other master and placed in the trade with the Areata. Freights between this place and San Francisco will br reduced to about $a 50 jer ton, so that the steamers will do the bulk of the business. It the demand for coal will justify it, a tliirdjteanier will be put on. After the line of steamers has been perflated,- no more coal will be shipped by schooners. V'ni.

Two new and fatal diseases hase lately ap peared among cattle w hich defy the skill of the medical fraternity. Certain cattle of Texas are affected by a disease termed the mad itch, which causes death in a very short time, and in a roost fearful manner. Montana sheep liasedestloped a trouble hich spreads rapidly and causes quick death. There nre seseral diseases now known which are hsinsr low cattle in all parts of the country, and the appearance of any new complaint is not bound to inspire the greatest confidence :a the quality cf our meat food. 'Die health laws are naturally not so strict in this country as they nre in European countries. Un til our cattle are surrounded with more safe guards there is no limit to the extent to w hich disease and epidemic may infect them. The health of the public demanits that attention be given to this subject at the earliest date possible. Three more saw mills are to be built at Cray's harbor the coming summer.

Nineteen Litres Lent by s Terrll E- nlnelnn In PnnaItrenia Umiomtown, Pa., Feb. 90. A little mlfrfng Tillage four miles north of here was this mom' Ing the scene of the most terrific explosion etc known In this tlcinlty, The CollmssMlle coal and Irori tornpany .here jfl)rme(ppJoyrteryf,t'c about roo men. Coal It obtained by mean 6T a shaft, which reaches the mines at a distance of 400 feet from the surface. This morning lire' part of the force who worked al nfght left the' mlnest, a little nfter3 o'clock, end 70 others toe their placer, rrfiklng the usual morning shift. About 6:30, while the men ssrere digging, wllhttrt warning, there occtfrrcd an explosion that c6n- rulted the mine irt trety apartment, and thresf the men iplo the utmost consternation. Tlfe scene of the explosion is fully Bob feet from iWj bottom of the shaft, and 1200 from the sorficrf opening. Yet the report was heard on the VHU side for n considerable distance, and caused such a jar tint the top of the derrick, ico feet high, was knocked off. Twro mule were standing at the bottom of the shaft, 800 feet from the ex plosion, and the rush of air blew one of tlrtiif through a wooden cage, shattering It to piece- An awful scene ensued among the terror-strick en miners. All their lamps were blown out rfrtd they were left In darkness and confusion. Tbty had not time to recover from the shock until they found themselves unable to breathe, a Jlie explosion of fire-damp left no oxygen. The men hovered near the bottom, but even" here did not long find relief. Of all the men who were in the headfrig, where the explosion occurred, Dick Iftls' ley alone escaped. When the explosion came and all the bents were blown out. ttalsley was Just changing his clothes. He wound a part of the clothes tightly around his face and mouth, to keep the foul air from choking him and gave the rest of the garments to his com panions, with instruction! to taVe the same pre caution. He then started for the mairf entrance, . bidding bis companions to follow. They ran over the bodies of men, and over shattered wagons. They could see nothing, but could hear the groans of dying men. Presently Bals ley's companions protested they were not going in the right direction, and turned back. Balslcy pushed nn, until he finally saw the light and was taken out. His escape is regarded by experi enced miners one of the most marvelous on record. He says some of the men kept their heads under water as long as they could, and would Ins e to change from the svater to the af terdamp, until finally they gave up the unequal struggle. when the news of the explosion tlasned around, the families of the men gathered about the shaft and were crazy with suspense. Bals lcy 's story gase them little ground for hope that any could be got out alive. So dangerous Tras the alteruamp that it was lully two hour Deiore any soiuntcers could enter tfie mine. Abctit 8 o'clock the first body vras brongln out. The face bore no marks of violence, and the man esidently died of suffocation. The work of res cuing the men now went on rapidly by willing soiuntcers, and at noon nineteen bodies had been earned out. The company's book wast then examined and the roll called, arid It was announced that all the men were accounted for. The work proceeded quietly, and amid the sobs and subdued weeping of stricken families the bodies w ere taken to homes near by and laid out. The report comes from New York that a liter ary gentleman of that chy is engaged on a book which is tolerably certain to create a greater stir when it appears than Colombier's "Sarah Bar num." The author claims to have proof that Queen Victoria secredy married John Brown shortly after the death of the royal consoVt. He claims that Disraeli discovered the fact, and through threatening to disclose it secured his ad vancement. Tlie cotlecled evidence in support of this remarkable theory is ail to appear in this book. . CENTRAL HOTEL! Comer of Front and A streets, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, JOIIX J.
