Rand Hold Ut the Bondholder for tSOO, 00 Kale will be Conteetixb-"A N li fer In the Fenee Somewhere.' Corvallis was lively last Friday. The sale of the O. P. railroad brought bloated bondholders and their attor neys, unpaid employes and their at torneys, with the public in general, to the eity of colleges. At I o'clock the Sheriff read from the court-house the order for sale, In the presence of a large crowd. At the conclusion of the reading, various par ties offered objections, through their attorneys. Mr. Wolverton read a lengths' notice of protest, 111 -ebalf of Zephin Job, who claims that be pur chased said road In January, 1892, and paid $25,000 thereon, no part of which bas been returned; that afterwards Job sold out to the Oregon Pacific Rail way Company. He warns-all parties to keep ofi the grass. Then came Mr. Weatherford, with a protest in behalf of the Giant Powder Co. and Searl 4 Dean. Also Mr. Q.eason, in behalf of the Willamette 4 Cascade Mountain Road, vainly protested. But the Sher iff heeded them not, but proceeded to sell, aud did sell the entire road to the Blair faction for $200,000. -he Indebtedness ol tbe- road is $1,- 060,000, and the employes-are probably left in the cold again. The purchasers claim they intend to extend the road and work wonders for the public good at great loss to them selves. Tbe cheated employe have started a petition asking that this sale be not confirmed and that a new receiver be appointed. The people sympathize with the unpaid workmen, Their lot in this particular case is indeed had. Chinese Smmfglerl. The prosecution, in the U. 8. Court, 1 of those Indicted for smuggling drags slowly along. The prosecution relies mainly on tbe testimony of one Blum, who, being Indicted, confesses all and gives his alleged partners away. Blum gives the details In a plain, methodical way, going back to the very beginning and telling how the conspiracy has progressed, how a quarter to half a million dollars lias been taken from tbe government, and how Ex-Collector Lotan and many ot his subordi nates got nice little fortunes out of the business, Blum's testimony is sup ported In many points, but his entire story is denied outright by the defense. Blum's reputation has been successful ly impeached and the defendants, in cluding the Chinese, have generally proven a good reputation for truth and honesty. If Blum'a testimony could be relied upon, the whole gang would go to the pen, but no man can be con vinced by Blum's unsupported tetti mony. He is undoubtedly a bad man and totally unreliable or he would never have betrayed his confederates when be waa caught. Confessed crim inals are not very good witnesses. Lo tan's administration of the Custom House was undoubtedly corrupt. Tbe Government was surely robbed. But a conviction Is another thing. Council Proceeding. Council met last Tuesday evening in regular meeting, wilh ill the members present except Councilman Dalgleish. Minutes of previous meeting were read and approved. The city officers asked for more time in which to make their report, which was granted. A contract between the city and the Electric Light Co., providing for the two arch lights recently put up, waa presented and read. By motion the time was set for two years. By con sent it was laid on tbe table until the next meeting. The following bills were presented aud warrants ordered drawn on the treasurer for the same: Electric Light 4 Water Co., three bills for $80, $40, and $10.80. respectively; 8. M.Garland, $25; Wm. Clevenger, $5; forjudges and clerks of city election, $10; J. F. Whit ing, $ Council then adjourned to meet next Tuesday evening, Dec. 26. Sunday, the marshal, arrested Frank Clevenger for violating the city ordi nance, and put him in the calaboose. His father W. H. Clevenger, came up and put up $11.25 as bonds for Frank's appearance for trial, the next day. Frank appeared at the hour set for trial and plead guilty to the charge and was fined $6 aud costs, making $11.25 In all. The Recorder, in whose hands tbe bond money had been placed, just applied that money to pay the costs and the fine. Before the trial Mr, Clevenger requested the return of bis money as he only gave bonds for Frank's appearance aud did not in tend to pay bis flue, but his demand was refused, aud suit will be brought to recover tbe money.
