tinue four days.
A report has been received here from As
toria that a fisherman named John Swanson
was drowned at that place yesterday.
The weather is clear and very warm.
Ex-Judge G. B. Bellinger, who retired
few weeks ago from the Bench, was presented

an elegant gold watch, chain and locket, ap.
propriately inscribed. The testimonial was
presented by members of the Portland Bar.

affected by the token of respect shown by his
fellow-attorneys.

During the recent flood some material
changes have been produced at Hollyhock, on
the lower Columbia, short distance above
Astoria, which affects the ship channel. By
the direction of Colonel Gillespie, United

that the shifting of the land will render

d. F. Leahy, Superintendent of this
division of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, has purchased 6,000 poles, to be
erected between Ainswortn and Spokane,

Judge Deadly, who was appointed referee
by the State Circuit Court of the Third Ju-.
dicial District in the cases of the State of
Oregon vs.. Ex-Governor Grover, Secretary of
State Chadwick, State Treasurer H. Brown
and I. III. Cam, of the Board of School
Land Commissioners, has submitted his re-
port. In the case of Chadwick, he finds that
during his administration he audited and al
lowed various false and illegal claims, not au-
thorized by law, amounting in the aggregate
to the sum OF S422, 901; that with interest his
liability to the State reaches S592, O60. The
State Court will proceed at once to recover
this amount claimed to be due.

ing the State. 1t has been common boast
in that party that it cast quarter of
million more votes than the Republican at
the last Presidential election. How this
quarter of a million was made up, how
ever, the Democrats donot care to inquire.
1t was reached by fraudulent naturaliza-
tions and repeating at the North, and by
wholesale bulldozing and ballot-box stufiing
at the South. Had the Republicans been
dishonest enough to employ the same tao
tics, they could have easily invented
three or four hundred thousand more
votes, but if both parties resorted to
such rascality there would soon be
an end to republican government.
Yet it must be remembered that it is the
Democratic party, with this foul record,
that has had the effrontery to put in its
national platform this year resolution
pledging itself to the preservation of the
freedom and purity of the ballot. No
more striking instance of callousness and
depravity has ever been afforded in pol.
itics than consists in this impudent and
audacious pretense. The truth is that
fraud at elections has for many years been
one of the manstays of the Democratic
party, and that if its methods were honest
it could not enter into the present cam
paign, it would be in SO hopeless minor
ity. The Wallace Committee wishes it
had never sat, no doubt, and the Demo-
cratic journals have lost all interest in
election frauds in New York Henceforth
they will shun that subject, but none
the less will the Democratic managers en-
deavor to steal the State after the old
fashion, if the opportunity is permitted
Them 1t may well be asked what posi-
Bile hope of reform in any direction can be
associated with party which habitually
and as matter of course resorts to fraud
whenever an election is to be held, and
which at the same time that it is doing its
best to destroy the freedom and effective
ness of the ballot both North and South,
hypocritically pretends to be deeply con-
cerned for its preservation. The fatal de-
feet of the Democratic professions always
is that they find no exemplifcation in
Democratic practices.

Condition OF the shin Thrasl,cr.

PORT townsend. July 26th.-Advices
from Victoria, b. c., in reference to the
wrecked ship Thrasher, state that the damage
to the fore part of the ship had been repaired
by divers, but it was found impossible to get
at the hole in the bilge A considerable por-
ton of the cargo has been removed and the
vessel was lying in an easy position, and SO
far as had been ascertained not single butt
had been started. The pumping machinery
was too light, however, to gain on the water,
and, although when the tide receded, the
pumps made peTceptible Roadway, yet at the
flow Of the tide they lost more Roadway than
had been previously gained. The gunboat
Rocket was still alongside of the wreck.
Captain Bosworth telegraphed to the owners
to ascertain whether he should go to any
further expense in the matter. There is little

OAKLAND. July 26th.-A most shocking
tragedy occurred in this city at abou- )
o'clock this afternoon. Edward Schroeder,
Exchange Teller in the San Francisco and
London Bank, walked into the office of DR.
Alfred Lefevre, a well-known and very popu-
lar dentist on Eighth and Broadway, and de-
liberately fired two shots at his victim, the
frs of which entered the left side two il hes
below the ribs, passed entirely through the
intestines and imbedded itself in the skin on
the opposite side Of the body The ball was
found and extracted short time after the
shooting. DR.. Lefevre survived his injury
but thirty or forty minutes, when the re-
mains were conveyed to the Morgue. This
tragedy has created intense excitement in our
usually quiet and law-abiding community,
from the fact that both of the participants
were highly connected socially. The slayer
of Lefevre has held his position in the Lon
don and San Francisco Bank for long time,
and was greatly respected by all who knew
him. both socially and in business transac-
tions. DR.. Lefevre was one OF our best
known and highly respected citizens, having
practiced his profession here for many years
There are many wild stories ahoat regarding
the animus OF the shooting, the chief reason
for the horrible deed being that I.efevre had
had criminal relations with the wife OF Schre-
der, but there is at present no definite proof

NEVADA, July 10Th. = At 1O:I6 this
morning George W. Smith ex-Sheriff of this
county, met L. W. Sigourney, an old and
wealthy resident, in front of the National
Hotel Office. Smith charged Sigourney with
robbing him, and without further warning
drew his pistol and commenced shooting at
Sigourney. The first shot took effect in ST.
journeys right shoulder. Sigourney ran for
the Postofice, a few feet distant, and reached
the hallway, Smith following and firing two
more shots in quick succession. The second
shot missed his victim, but the third and last
shot took effect near the spine and passed
through the body. When the last shot was
fired Smith was SO close upon his victim that
the powder burned and tore Sigourney's
coat Bystanders interfered, and Smith
withdrew and gave himself up to
Sheriff Tompkins. Sigourney was taken to the
National Exchange Hotel and medical assist
ance was immediately rendered, but re died
twenty minutes after the shooting. Trouble
has existed between Smith and Sigourney for
many months. 1t appears that Sigourrey
which had been foreclosed, and Smith has
been disposessed of everything save small
cabin to which be had moved his family, and
in which he is now living. This morning, by
order of Sigourney, notice was served on
Smiths family to vacate the cabin or house
in which he lived. Smith claims unfair treat
ment on the part of Sigourney throughout
his many and long transactions with him.
and the attempt this morning to eject
his family from their present very
humble abode SO enraged Smith that he
sought out Sigourney and killed him. On
the other hand, many claim that Sigourney
was very lenient and strictly honorable in his
many years dealings with Smith, and after
much hesitation was obliged to take severe
legal measures to get his dues. The shooting
caused intense excitement, and is deeply re-
GREETED by every one. Both parties are very
well and favorably known, and each has
many strong personal friends. The funeral
of Mr.. Sigourney will take place here
Wednesday at 2 P. NJ, under the auspices of
Wyoming Tribe of the Order of Red Men, Of
which Order he was q member.
