JOHN ROACH DEAD.
- -----------
f
John Roach, the great American ship
builder, died last Monday morning at 8
o’clock. The immediate cause of hie
death was a cancer in liis mouth, simi­
lar to that which killed Gen. Gran’, but
the indirect cause, as in Grant's case,
was despondency ami disappointment.
He has not been the sauu man since his
failure, caused by Secretary Whitney’s
Action in not accepting the Dolphin,
built for the government.
The cancerous growth had eaten its way
into the side of liis jaw, involving large
arteries. Roach was in great pain all
day Sunday, mid to give him relief large
«loses of morphine were injected, and
ho was unconscious most of the time
In the few conscious moments he had be
spoke of his son Garrett, who was with
him nil the time. The young man re­
mained will his lather during the night.
He occupied a seat at tho bedside, and
helped the nurses, who applied sooth­
ing poultices and renewed injections of
morphine every time the patient awak­
ened. Only a few intimate friends of
the family were admitted to the house
during his closing hours, but nobody
other than nurses and physicians was al­
lowed to »ee Roach. Deceased leaves a
widow, three sons and one daughter, all
grown.
READY LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Judge Strahan, on Monday, declared
the Ready liquor law unconstitutional
in the appeal case from Astoria. Most
of our readers are aware that the plea
was set up by the appellants that the
law was unconstitutional because of its
virtually amending the city charter ol
Astoria. That is, the law placed re­
strictions on cities and towns holding
charters granted by the state legislature
and at the same time created a license
fortlie trade in liquor, thoreby having a
double effect. According to constitution
al requirements al! bills must contair
but one auoject matter, and that onli
stated in the title of the bill. Judgi
Strahan considered that the bill collier
ed ill this particular, and therefore ren­
dered a decision accordingly. Anothei
little coincident is refered to by the
judge in which lie says he could kill the
law on anotlior point. There is a dis­
crepancy between the records of the two
houses, which J. W. Strange, late chic,
clerk of the senate, might also attempt
to charge to the lady clerks. The senate
passed the bill placing the limit of vari­
ous liquors at not let»' than one gallon
in certain cases ; the lmwe amended ii
to read “not less than one quart.” am
sent it back to the senate, The senati
concurred in the amendment, but Mi.
Strange in liis message from the senate
to the house still makes it read “one gal­
lon.” The Judge says in his npinioi
that if this point was urged it would in
validate the law. This leaves Oregon
without a liquor regulation, hut tho leg­
islature will probably repass one in a
few days.
A puhlic meeting was held at the
court house in Grant’s Pass Wednesday
night, to discuss the propriety of chanc­
ing the name of the town. The vote
stood 72 to 14 in favor of changing.
Calvin Pratt, the civil engineer, who
was recently convicted of having swin­
dle.! the Pacific bank by means of forg­
ed c hecks, was sentenced by Judge
Murphy, of San Francisco, to fourteen
years in the state prisión at Folsom.
Judge John 8. Rogers, chief justice of
the circuit court of Cook county, fell
dead in a dry goods store in Chicago,
Monday last, while ut the cashier’s
desk. He was born in Glasgow, N. Y.,
in 1818, and was elected to the circuit
bench in 1870. He leaves a wife 'and
children.
Judge Strahan has deelated the Rea­
dy liquor law unconstitutional in the ap­
peal case from Aatoria, because the law
virtually amended the city charter of
Astoria, while the constitutional provi­
sion allows only one subject matter in
each bill, which must be stated in the
enacting clause.
Respecting tho recent secret boycott
against Phillip D. Armour by several
assemblies of tiie Knights of Labor, the
former says: “We knew that boycott
circulars were out against us, but if it
has affected us at all it has increased
our sales. There are ten now customers
gained by the publicity of such a move
where there is one lost.”
It is thought that an effort will be
made at this session of the legislature
to abolish the state immigration office
and the dairy commissioner.
It’is al­
most certain that there will be an im­
portant reduction in freight rates and a
bill passed to prevent discrimination.
The old fight between the countiy and
Portland seems likely to give place this
session to a little moie useful legisla­
tion.
The legislature of Indiana clearly in­
dicates the need of a foolkiller in that
state.
The democratic senate refused
to hold a joint session with the republi­
can bouse, and adjourned over the day
for canvassing the votes, declaring there
was no vacancy n the office ot Lieut,
iov. The republican house retaliated
.ii a like manner, of course, and the
,»respects for a lively rumpus are proin
ising.

A ustin , Tex., Jan. 12.— An informs; i
Reagan caucus was held here last night.
It is claimed there were thirty member»
present, and that ten or twelve who are
known to prefer Reagan did not attend,
Those who participated claim that Rea­
gan will receive at least forty votes on
the first ballot. His mor-* .enthusiastic
friends say he will lead on the first bal­
lot, but one of his most judicious follow­
ers conceded that Maxey would start
with a plurality. The legislature will
organize at noon to-day.
N ew Y ork , Jan. 12.—There is danger
of a great scarcity of coal in this city
because the strike of the coal handlers
against the railroad companies is grow­
ing more serious. At present the con­
dition of things is unchanged among coal
companies. There is not sufficient coal
in New York City to last two weeks.
Across the North river, however, there
is coal enough to su pply New York for a
time. If the present strike among the
coal handlers should extend to the
mines and continue, there is not coal
enough above ground to last the country
until spring.
Bt iilington , Vt., Jan. 12.—The dyna­
mite factory at 1’1 itfsbiirg, N. Y., was
totally destroyed by fire. The shock
from the explosion at 1 o’clock this
morning was felt here, twenty miles dis­
tant. Doors and windows rattled as ii
hy a heavy earthquake, and many hun-
Ireds of p rople ran into the streets.
Private ilispat lies state that the fire
caught in the engine room. The work­
ingmen left when they were unable to
extinguish the Hanies. No lives were
lost. The main factory was destroyed;
ilso the store house near by. A large
imount of dynamite was in it and escap
