i nini tts nsm K CAPITAL CITY NEWS. Heciial of the Daily Doings Compiled From Various Sources. Happenings Over the City anil From lho Country. News How rorlland Was Named. It Is not generally known how tbo city of Portland received her namo and the following note was related to u Jouiinal reporter la$t evening by Chas. Hellcnbrand. A man by tbe name of Frank Pettigo and bia partner took up a claim where Port land is now located. When a small settlement was started the question uroso as to what It should be called. Mr. Pettigo Insisted on naming It after his native town Portland, Me., but his partner insisted on some other name. The matter was settled by tossing1' up a coin, and Pettigo was the lucky man, therefore they named it Portland. HE WAS AN INSANE MAN. Dearborn The Drugged Man Taken to the Asylum. Howard Snccnmbs. Frank Howard, the desperate five year convict who cut his hand off to avoid work, has relented and now says that as soon ns he is able ho will go to work. His arm is pain ing him considerably now, but W. W. Saunders, in the absence of med ical attendants, carefully looks after the bandages, and sees that all goes well. Howard until this morning declared that his right hand should follow his left before he would per form labor, but calm afterthought and painful meditation have brought the convict toa realization of his pos ition and ho has decided It is better to succumb. ThOIurJcrcr Will llau. In the decisions of the supremo court yesterday evening was one opinion handed down by Justice Strahau alllrming thedecision of the circuit court. It was in the case of the state of Oregon vs. Patrick Mc Ginnis, appealed from Grant county. McGiunis is the condemned mur derer for whom Governor Pennoyer a few weeks ago granted a respite of sixty days that the case might be presented to the supremo court for rehearing. Tho decision as given by Justice Stratum gives tho man no further lease of life and he will hang at Canyon City within a few weeks. F. W. Dearborn, the man who says ho was drugged on Saturday night, has not yet recovered from the effects of tho dope administered him by "his old acquaintance." Ho passed a very miserable night. He but recently arrived in Salem from St. .Tohnsburg, Yt. He says there is not a reasonable doubt but that he was drugged and for what purpose other than robbery cannot be imagined, the "morning clip" to the contrary notwithstand ing. Mr. Dearborn was seen by a JouiiNAii reporter and gave (he facts as presented in Monday's Journal, but wished the matter kept quiet as ho was a stranger here and its pub licity he thought might injure him In securing work. f It transpires that Dearborn is an insane patient who had been releas ed as cuYed. Ho came to Oregon three mouths ago and has been in tho asylum ever since. His little son was inthe orphans home. This morning the ofllcials at the asylum, having learned of his misfortune and illness from last nights Journal, took him once more to the Asylum for continued treatment. THE GOVERNOR IGNORED. The Railroad Commissioners Don't f Oiyo up tho Ghost. Silverton does Dry. The city council of Silverton met last night and refused to renew the dram-shop license of tho one saloon thatis now ' running thcrc,tho license of which expires on "Wednesday. This will leave Silverton without a saloon. There is considerable objec tion made to the action of tho coun cil in tills mutter, as It leaves the city without her customary revenuo of faOo por year. Tho voto of tho council stood four against tho saloon to one for It. Not An Arbitrary Haling. The visitor to Oregon's state pen itentiary need feel no pangs of con science, if, after collecting little odd ly shaped pieces of metals and scraps of convict uniform as mementoes of a journey through tho institution, upon leaving this homo lor erring humanity the guard politely taps him on tho shoulder and reminds that he is about to violate the rules. At llrst glanco tho rule seems an ar bitrary one, but when it is consider ed how many people visit tho prison each day, everyone desirous perhaps of bearing off a relic, tho reason is obvious. Tho sum total of metal and goods that would bo carried away in this manner annually, were it permitted, would bo simply astounding. Yesterday evening, contrary to general expectation, the board of railroad commissioners conducted their regular monthly meeting. It will bo remembered that tho gover nor peremptorily discharged the commission a few weeks ago, but as tho commission was not a thing of his creation, the members of the board refused to bo "knocked out" by one whom they term a disinter ested party. This is the position Commissioners Slater, Waggoner and Secretary Bell And themselves occupying, and accordingly they were engaged in transacting the routine work of tho board yesterday evening. They hold that as their existence is due to an act of the legislature their decapi tation can bo performed only by the same power. Here arises a nice lit tle point The commission consider themselves as alive, while tho gover nor looks upon them as dead, with the legislature as but an interested spec tator as yet. LOCAL SUMMARY. The liidriit'uilcni'e Itoblttry. The sensational robbery that oc curred at Independence about Cliristnias time Is about to meet with solution.

Tho Capital Journal is pub lishing biographical sketches of the members of the legislature. That Is an enterprising paper In more wnyH than one,--Umpmia Horald. Veterans or tbe (1. A. It Last night at tho hall of the Grand Army of the Republic was conduct ed a "camp lire," around which were assembled the members of tho Sedgwick Post and a largo number of invited guests and fellow soldiers Tho evening was most pleasantly spent An extensive musical and literary program was enacted, fol lowed by a delicate spread prepared by tho ladies jf tho Relief Corps. The bravo battle scarred veterans and their friends will long remember the evening as onoof tho most hap pily spent in the history of tho or ganization. A Prosperous Kevlval Year. Of tho many revival meetings held throughout Marion county this win ter all are successful to an unprece dented degree. Following the Moody nicotinics in Salem, Mrs. Malloy closed her labors after hav ing wrought sixty-eight conversions. Tho' splendid tidings also come from Brooks of thirty accessions to the church and many conversions. Also at Clynier Row Osbom has brought twenty sinners to a realization of their position. Baptisms were con ducted at tho latter place Sunday afternoon. The Annual Sleetlnc To-night tho Salem Board of Trade will hold their regular annual ses sion at tho council chamber. The meeting will bo one of great interest, as several amendments to the con stitution will bo proposed, as well as tho consideration of the woolen mill project. To-morrow night it is thought tho citizens' meeting will be held, after, which the work of raising the subsidy will bo proceed ed with. It is quite certain that mere will be very little trouble ex perienced in securing the $20,000. Salem realizes what a grand thing for her a woolen mill will be and her capitalists and business men are going to raise the bonus in short order. The constitution of tho Board of Trade will perhaps, as it should, be amended by providing for the crea tion of tho scretary to whom should bo paid a salary. This is proper. Hire a secretary and better work is assured. Make It somebody's .busl ness to answer tho correspondence and tho results will be for the best. An Old Pioneer. Hon. W. S. Gilliam, of Walla Walla, W.

Gilliam, after whom Gilliam county was named. Mr. Gilliam served Polk county as sheriff and also as a legislator, and after moving to Walla Walla, he tilled the sumo honorable trusts for that county. It is un necessary to say that ho is a republi can from tho party's earliest history, and a red-hot Harrison man. He will return homo in a fow duys and lias hosts of friends in the valley who aro glad to hear of his prosperity. Two Lot Sales.
