The kind people of Snleni will vividly remember tho case of Neal Murphy who was sentenced to a ten years term ill the penitentiary from Portland in 1SS2, for forging checks, ami of hi1 kind, loving wife, who, remaining true to her villain of a hiblKind, removed to this city, when ho was brought to the prison, and took up her home in the little house adjoining the old court house, on the west, on Court street, and opened a hair store. How she struggled along earning a meager living for herself and child; how every Sun day, rain or shine, she and her child made their weekly pilgrimage to the place where the husband and father lay imprisoned for crime of which "he believed him innocent; how kindly people grew interested in the case; how they secured a par don for the convict from Gov. Moody in December 18S0, and these new found friends made up a purse and started them on their way toward a new life. They went to San Fran elsco, and, failing to get employ ment there, continued on to Fresno, California, where they arrived in February, 1SS7. A few months after their arrival there, Xeal began to show the vile uessof his character, and to show attention to a young girl, to abuse his wife and demand money from her. He quit work, but his wife still loving and true appealed to friends to give him another chance, and together they rented u lodging house, and he quit payingattentions to the girl; but in a few days he began the same thing with another, a daughter of respectable people, who had stood high in Fresno social circles. This intimacy grew and continued until the time of Mur phy's llight, and it is said the girl U soon to join him. Last Marcli Mrs. Murphy took $1G0, which she had saved and kept from Murphy, hi; usually demanding all her money and spendingiton buggy rides, etc., with this girl, and paid it tea firm for the lease of another Mock, larger than the one she then occupied, and arranged to give up the house she was in on April 1st. When the time came, Mr. Bradley, owner of the Bradley block, which Mr. Murphy supposed she had leased, Mid it was verbally leased to the present occupant for a longer tune, and Mrs. Murphy found her df without a house. Mrs. Murphy then began an action against Brad ley for damages. The family then moved into a small house in the rtberus of Fresno, and Mrs. Murphy paid their expenses. Saturday, Apr. M, Xeal and Mrs. Murphy ciuar- ivled over the girl, spoken of above, aid Murphy lelt the hou&eand wont i" San Francisco. Ho went to Brad !f, who was in San Francisco, of toxd to compromise tho damago t lor 450, and Bradley gave him order on his agent for that amount! On Thursday morning, Murphy presented tho order to the ut, who suspected all was not ht, but Murphy, by misroproson 'ii'igut the original receipt for lM)0rald I iv Mrs. Murnliv. from uttoriieys, and. on nrefeontlmr I .mm leuuig ijraiuoys ngonie t In-awl his wife had become unelli-d, they no longer hesitated lnl.l him tho 150 including -Murphy's original150 making Ml.

Tho Depot Matter Progressing Finely Money Can be liaised. A JounxAi. reporter had quite a talk with Mayor Murphy this aftor noon, and learned thatthe prospects forsecurlng the location of the now depot at thecorner of 12th and Court streets were brightening. It is estimated that the ground that will be required to ac comodate the new depot, be tween Court and Chemeketa streets can be bought for a sum not to ex ceed $3000, and it is pretty gouorally thouglU by members of the Univer sity board that an absolute deed to the property at present occupied by the company would be granted with out diillculty. The sum of 8000 could be easily raised, said several. uuuness men, or more if necessary. The main "hinging point" remains the 10,000 bond which the railroad company wants, in lieu of the vaca tion of the street required to be used it being thought that the city char ter gave no authority for vacating streets. Mayor Murphy lias found a general law (sec. 41S0, Hill's Code) granting to incorporated towns the right to vacate streets, and ho thinks that section gives the council sulll cient power, and he will submit the matter to Mr. Koehlerat once. The council meets to-morrow night when the mayor, recorder and city attor ney will make a full report regard ing tne mattoj-. There seems to be no good reason, now, why the much clnmored after removal of the dopot cannot be se cured by the citizens of Salem, and tho writer of this ventures tho asser tion that the erection of a handsome depot building in plain view of the state house, court house, east school, Willamette University, and the beautiful streets lined with refresh ing shade trees, would be of inesti mable value to tho city in many ways, aside froiy its manifest con veniences. Let the depotbemoved! -- (Iranc Meeting. . The Salem Grange held an inter esting session on Saturday, which was well attended. The question, "have the sisters a right to expect political assistance from tho broth ers" was discussed with some vivaci ty, and a decided leaning shown to ward the alllrmatlvc. The temperance question was made the topic of a spirited discussion-. Tho question seemed to turn on what constitutes temperance. It was held that the strictly temperate individual is temperate in all things; such as eating, drinking, language, dress, in fact all things that go to make up our existence. While in regard to the things, the use of which is generally abused, it was held that there is no such thing as tho moderate use of a hurtful article. This, of course, to apply to the use of liquor as a beverage. Itemarks were made on the question by Mis ter Minto, Brooks, .lory and by Brothers Port, Stephens, II. S. Jory, wagner, Boork, Donalson and othcis. Tho state master being present favored the Grango with sonio well timed and interesting re marks. It was suggested- tha.t the State Agricultural College at Corvallis bo turned into an experimental farm, where tho science of fanning in all its branches,can bo taught in a prac tical form to elevate and educate tho rising generation in such a way.that they may take more kindly to ag riculture ns an occupation. . A Sound Legal Opinion. E. Balnhridge Munday county ntty.,CIay county, Tex. Ifeq., , says: "Have used Electric Bitters with mart happy results.

In numerous show windows about the city may be seen large plats of this Ww town site recently laid out by Col. Thomas C. Smith, of this city. In the upper left hand corner of the plat appear two very good cuts of the upper and lower falls of silver creek. A great many of our citizens have visueu inese tails (luring the sum mers that have passed, and they can attest the beauty and grandeur or the scenery thereabouts. The town Mte i at the uniier falls, and is laid out so that part of it is on tho plateau west of the creek, and the rest on the level ground to the east, and along the creek. Col. Smith is having the roads leading to the em bryo city repaired, and put In good shape, and an elegant hotel is to be erected soon. It is not unlikely that Silver creek will prove the fav orite resort of the coming summer. Col. Smith hassold several lots there already, and several cottages will he erected there soon. Th.it Printers' I'lcnlc " Mr. Porter of the JoritXAi. ollice, spent Sunday in Albany aiid was informed that arrangements were being made there for a grand excur sion to this city and return, on labor day, June 2, the occasion of the printers' picnic. Of course, this In the event, the picnic shall be gone ahead with. The Albany people have chartered a steamer that will accommodate :00 people, and think that fully that number will come. Every appearance now is favorablo to the picnic idea, and it is to bo hoped the boys will not let the mat ter drop, but go ahead and have a grand time. Tin: Califoruians have been blessed with a copious rain lately, which ex tended all over the state, and they rejoice over it as an escape from ruin to their crops. It is estimated as worth millions of dollars to the farmers, but in some localities the grain is injured beyond repair. Tho margin between drouth and abun dance in that state is a narrow one. i'hk (statesman doesn't call ex- Gov. St. John a "skunklet" any more, but it gives the prohibition apostle this llattering netice: "There is not a man in the penitentiary near Salem who deserves less respect from honesty and decency than this modern Benedict Arnold, John Peter St. John." A country editor has this to say: "Vanderbilt's 10,000, cook an nounces that he is opposed to a great variety of courses at a dinner, llight he is. Corn beef and cabbage is good enough for anybody." i)ii:i. ltOACII. Ill Snleni, Sunday, May lltli, Infant child of W. II. Hoaoli. Funeral this afternoon. KST11AV.
