LOCAL -RECORD. A Strange I'ruceeiiino. This morn ing as Mr. E. T. T. Fisher, who lives at ' Miller's, was coming to this city lie saw two women sitting by the side of the rail road track near the residence of IX M. Cooper. One of them appeared to be a young lady, while the other was one of mature years. The young lady was dressed In black and heavily veiled with a dark veil. She was holding a bundle which seemed to be resting on a pillow. Such cir cumstances always arouse the curiosity of J the newspaper reporter. So the reporter of the Democrat began to put this and that link together so as to form a chain that would reach Into the secret of the mys terious circumstance. It was a small clue but Industry, perseverance and tact will tell. Later on Mr. Cooper came to town and from him we learned that the two women whom Mr. Fisher had seen, were his wife and an unknown young lady dressed in black. The young lady had been brought to Mr. Cooper's about 3 o'clock last night in a bugy by a young man who asked Mr. Cooper to let the young lady stay till morning. This being granted the young man went away. The bundle proved to be a young babe, which the young woman said was about two weeks old. She fed it from a' bottle. This young woman 'was very much disturbed mentally. This morning she asked Mr. Cooper to accom pany her to Miller's, the next station, wherche said, she wanted to take the next train for Salem. Mr. Cooper started with her on foot to Miller's, but they were soon overtaken by a wagon whose driver said he would take the ladv to Miller's. We finally worked up several c'ues to un solve the mystery, ne of which was that the party hau called at nr. iMaston 8 last night about one or two o'clock. The doctor, when first ca'lcd upon, was not disposed to be interviewed, but when being informed that the reporter had already secured most of the facts to unravel the mystery he frankly stated that the young man and woman had called at ly.s office about two o'clock and asked if there were any Cath olics in town. The doctor answered in the affirmative and told them lioff to find the Sisters' school, but they said thev had been iiiwi c miiu LUI1IU iiniUM; uu unc. i lit uuviui observing that the lady had a bundle asked what it was and was told that it was a baby, and at this point the doctor recog- nized theyounglady as one who had called at his office some weeks ago. She frankly told the doctor that the baby was the Illeg itimate child ot her sister and that she wanted to leave it with him to turn over to the Sisters this morning. The doctor re fused to do this but told her she could re-, main at his place until morning and then give it to the Sisters herself. She was un willing to remain until morning, and then inquired the way and distance to Miller's, where she said she wauld gn and take the next train to Salem where she would give the child to the Catholics. The doctor ad vised her to take the child home and let her sister raise it, but this she utterly refused to do. 8he tsld the doctor the child was born Thursday night. The docter positively declines, to give the name of the young ladv, wlio, he says. Is highly rcspcctaple and deserves the sympathy of every kind heart on account of the ureal misfortune that has befallen the family. A Caution. The way mowers, binders, wagons and agricultural implements, gen era. ly went out of Stewart & Sox's yester day was a caution. It was the biggest day's business In their history and perhaps ever in Albany. We would give the figures; but our renders might say they were stretched, and wc will allow them to use their imaginations. A Grand Smut.' We neglected to mention yesterday that one of the grandest sights of the Corvallis celebration was Mr. Al. Churchill, the driiih major of the Eu gene Band. With his monumental hat he towered far above everything, the small, one story shanties on First Street sinking into utter insignificance when Al. passed along in the parade. New Dray. Mr. J. A, McKcron has just started a dray on his awn account, having purchased a first-class truck. Mr, Mr. McFcron Is equal to two men himself, is an accommodating, reliable gcntlcinnn and deserves h good business. A Ci.i n House. An Albany gentleman suggests that Albany Is sufficiently metrop olitan to have a club house, where men can meet evenings, and perhaps an effort will be made to organize one. Signal Service. Hereafter the flags on the signal service pole at French's cor ner will be changed promptly at 1 1 o'clock A. M., and will indicate the weather from 12 o clock, high noon. t'OUNTY COIiltT I'HOCKKKIXIiH. (D. H. N Ilia, kliiiru, Juilo ; I). W. Coisr snd U. W. i'lilllti, Cuiiiiiiisviuiiers.)

Furniture dealers through Oregon cannot do better than by buying their furniture of Mr V J Dilitnn, the manufacturer or this city. Mr Dilhon is a thorough furniture man, and his good will as urst-class.. So far as we are concerned we had rcther see the Albany boys beaten at Seattle by slow work than hy a succession of "bobbles. It is a first-class team and we regret that it has had so many "might have beens." Albany probably has a many bicycles rid- ers as any city on the coast of its size.

The time of thinking has been estimated, with some interesting re sults : Uptakes about one-tenth second to see a color, onc-scventh second to see a word. It takes longer to see some letters and words than others. A word can be named in one-ninth second, whereas one third second is needed to name a color. It takes about two-fifths second to call to mind the county in which a well-known town Is situated ; one-half second to say which of two eminent men is thought to be the greater. Those used to reckoning can add two to three in less time than others ; those familiar with literature can remember more quickly than others that Shakespeare wrote "I lomlet." But it takes some subscribers to the newspaper months and years to remember that they owe any thing, and then they miss it a year or two. Condemned Generally. It Is not often that a Corvallis paper stands up for Albany In anything, but in the matter of the Portland tournament the case was too p'ain. The Times says: "The Portland firemen acted very disreputably In offer ing prizes at their tournament and after they had been fatrlv won and the judges had given their decisions, to unsurp the authority of distributing the prizes among whom thev saw fit. According to the judges and justice the Albany team won the majority of the contests, but these honorable!?,) old volunteers have seen ht to award the boys but one prize. Eclipse. To-morrow there will be partial eclipse of the sum, visible in the In diaii ocean. On Sunday, July 22nd there will be a total eclipse of the moon, visible in North 11ml South America.

This will be the second total eclipse of the moon this year, the last having occurred on January 28th at about noon, but wns obscured by clouds here. Married. At II. W.

In speak ing ot the divorce suit of Lulu M. Dimick against Milo M. Dimick, former residents of Albany, the Telegram says: The de fendant was directly and Indirectly cross examined about two and a half hours, dur ing which he controverted nearly all the allegations ot cruelty. The prosecution failed to produce any ot the letters, con taining abusive language, which Mr. Dim ick was charged with having written to his wife in 1S87.
