ARBITRATION CAsE.-An arbitration
case has been going on in our civ for
several days past. and was settled ves.
day. Al near o. We could learn III.
facts are as follows: Some time las.
Spring, Mr.. Malarky, q produce dealer
in Portland. wrote to Mr. B. A. Chill.
berg, of the firm OF Chilberg Bro,
conductor of their branch store at New
Tacoma. asking him at what figure be-

bred to fifteen hundred bushels of no.
tatoes to Portland. to which Mr.. Chill
berg replied that If The sacks and twine
were furnished he would supply the
potatoes at fifty-five cents per bushel
In few days Mr.. Malsrky wrote for
him to get the fifteen hundred bushel.
of potstoes ready for the Dakota, or he
did not want them. Mr.. Chilbere not
considering that he could get the pota.
toes in the designated time, let what he
had already engaged be sold to other
parties and dropped the matter. Con
siderable other communication was car
ried on. but is immst .rial now. Mr..
NJ. commenced salt in Portland, soon
after. against the firm of Chilberg
Bros. to recover $4,000 for alleged
breach OF contract. This suit was with.
drawn. and the interested parties agreed
anon themselves to leave it to three
srbitrators. one TO be picked by each
OF the contestants, and the third to
be mutually agreed upon by the two
thus selected. The following gentle
men were finally decided on ~ arbitrs-
tors: r Beau. TG Wilson and Prof
Gum. After three or four days inves-
tigation. in taking evidence pro and
con. they yesterday finished up the
work and decided that not sufficient
cause existed to recover. and that the
expenses of tbs case be taxed against
the plaintiff.

SLIDING OUT.-Some steps should be
taken immediately in regard to the
gradual sliding out Of Front street. at
the foot of Seneca. We passed there
yesterday ard found it really danger
Gus. The bridge over the big gulch is
unsafe for teams to pass over, as there
are cracks wide enough for horse to
run his leg through at the south end of
it. which is much lower than it should
be. This is no ordinary matter as the
lives of oil who pass through this
popular thoroughfare are in imminent
danger each and every time they drive
over this bridge at the present time.
We hope to be able to chronicle the
progress of the necessary repairs in our
next issue.

WILKES BOOTHS LETTERS.
How They Came TO be Burned By o
Brother Actor.

John Matthews, an actor who was
| in the cast of the play at FOrd's Thea.
ire on the night Lincoln was assassi.
mated, says that since the interview
with John II. Ford was made public,
| Edwin Booth and Mrs. Junius Brutus
Booth, his mother, have been pros
| trated with sickness, and he thought
it would prove thedeath of Mrs. Booth.
Mr.. Matthews says: al received q
statement from John Wilkes Booth,
as John +. Coyle has said. My rea-
sons for not making it public will
have to remain a secret, as will also
the use | made of the documents. All
sorts of stories have been published
about those documents, but not one of
them was originated by me-" A gem
teman well known in the theatrical
profession, says Mr.. Matthews told
him that he left the theatre on the
day of the tragedy to take a walk be-
fore supper. He met Booth on the av-
enue opposite the National Theatre.
After conversing a few moments,
Booth handed him a sealed envelope,
with directions not to open it until the
following morning, when he might
read it and submit it to Mr.. Coyle for
publication.
After the assassination, Matthews,
in removing his coat from a nail i'm
the dressing-rOOm, dropped the pack
age on the floor, which called to his
that it contained the assassin's letters
and explanation. He Immediately
went to his room in the neighborhood
of the theatre, opened the envelope
and read the contents. Becoming
alarmed at the nature Of the letters.
and thinking, as he afterwards ex-
pressed it, that it was dangerous for
man to be connected in any way with
John Wilkes Booth at that time he
burned the letters at once,

The engine had onlya tender attach

pushing back to Lakeland. We reach

which we should meet there, came in,
and were waiting as If nothing had

fifteen miles out on the road to meet

Or. carvers Wonderful Shooting


There was Il COOL attendance, dos
pitc the intense heat that prevailed.
i'm Boston Park yesterday, brought to~
sethcr 10y the announcement that the
wonderful California markSnan, Or.
Carver, would give an exhibition Of
his skill with the rifle. After Il few
preparatory shots the "doctorp began
his performance with his. famous
Cooking glass shot" " a display of ac-
curacy that created Il great deal OF as
tOnishment and applause. Taking
position near the grand stand and
turning his back to the fence, cnclOs,-
ing the track, about fifty feet away,
ne placed hisrihe OH his shoulder, and,
first adjusting Il small looking glass,
about two inches and half i'm diam
eter, on the breech of his piece, took
careful aim, and lodged a bullet in the
center of post of the fence, about q
foot from the ground. He then de-
liberately fired a second time, apd the
bullet entered the very aperture made
by the first ball, leaving Il Sight mark
on the side of the hole To- indicate that
there was no jugglerv in the feat. 1t
was certainly one of the most remark
ably accurate exhibitions Of steadinesS
of hand and quick ever witnessed by
the spectators there assembled, and
was the subject of many expressions
of astOnishment. The DOCTORS next
performance was the discharge Of ten
shots at the post, distance the same,
he holding his rifle at a chip rest,n
and removing IL each time 60 reload.
All but one of the bullets fOnnd n rest
ing place in the wood within a radius
of Il ciEcle of about five inches in iii.

ceedingly difficult feat-aud ne finally
succeeded i'm hitting it, An cxhibi-
ton of glass-ball shooting was then
given, the marksman breaking % out
of 100 thrown into the air. His Ell
teTtainment was varied by high glass
ball shooting, in which hc was uui-
fOTmly successful. AmongOthcr lcatS
he threw up a glass ball himself he
fore il could reach the ground. Balls
were then thrown at him which le
shattered, and brass bell ball was
tossed up, the doctor often hitting tho
same as indicated by the ring the OH
ject gave ere it fell To the ground. Nn
enthusiastic gentleman offered his hat
for mark, and fnr the purpose Oihav-
ing it ventilated the '"dOctoT' Dbliging-
ly sent u bullet through the crown,
the hat being in the sir at the time.
a repitition of Saturdays coin shoot
ing was next given, the pieces being
shot all of the field. The doctor then
announced his intention, If possible,
of eclipsing his record ~ to time madD

He accomplished his Undertaking,
breaking out i2i balls thrown up,
100 in im,, 1is, beating the time sat

nade-l3} seconds. He then repeated
! several of the shots he performed at
his first exhibition, including the fir
ing at a ball three times while in tho
air shattering 1t only the third shot.
The entertainment was brought TO an
end by IL shotgun performance, al
most equally mcritorious with tho
rifle shOting.

a Wonderful Pair Of Twins.

There is pair of twins now on eX-
hibtiOn at the aquarium, New York,
which is attracting much attention
from physicians and others. The two
children are girls, and were born on
December d, 1877, at san BCnOlt, a
town about forty miles north of Mon
treal, Canada. From their heads TO
the first lumbar vertabrP, the chill
dren are possessed of perfectly formed
and entirely distinct members, but be-
low that point the bodies become one.
There IL not the slightest defoTmity
about any of theirOTgans. They have
two distinct sets Of internal organs
and arms, but only one abdomen and
two legs. Each child controls one set
of organs, but only one leg. Piercing
one leg with pin will produce signs
of pain in the face Of one child. white
the other will be perfectly nee from
any sensation. They DO not act in
uniso1. While one laughs and plays
the other sleeps or cries from hunger
and when both are awake they have
the 9reatest desire to- play with each
others hands The features are very
regular, and the face of each child is
very pretty for a hahy only seven
months old. The limbs are as large a.
those of an ordinary child. Where
the two bodies grow into one, the bulk
is not increased, but gradually de-
creases into the usual size. They
were exhibited to q number az physi-
clans recently, who pronounced the
pair 10 he one Of the greatest freaks of
nature they had ever seen. They
thought tAe two bodies were merged
iat0 one most naturally, and believed
the children would live to the average
age,
