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. TEI Eli It A I'lIIC.
