A Different Affair.

Joe Miller went to police headquar-
ters ia terrible stew last night. BE
said that he deposited in the Astoria
bank last Monday week a sack con-
t.ining Sc, 600 n gold. When he got
reidy tn leave the city he was handed
sack similar to his, which he took
and came TO this city. Arriving here
he went to the bank to deposit it, and
upon opening the concern it was
found to contain $780,. all in silver
dollars. Arriving at police headqusr-
tiers he told his story, and dispatch
was at once sent TO Astoria, when TO
his surprise the answer came back
that his sack was at the Astoria bank
al right. Miller considers it narrow
escape.
The above appeared in last Sundays
Gerctsg. The facts Of the case are
as follows: Mr.. Miller came 10 AS
toria and had some negotiable papers
which were presented at the bank of
l. w. Case and cashed, Miller placing
the amount Sc, 800 in canvas sack
gave It to the night clerk of the hotel
where he was stopping for safe keep
ing. The same evening Capt. Whit
comb, who was going to GIay's har-
Dor on the Gen. Miles the next day.
handed the same clerk sack contain
ing $500 in silver which was slso put
in the hotel safe. The next morning
i1r. Miller was handed what was sup
posed TO be his sack. and few mo-
ments later Capt. WhItcomb was given
his Oh application. Miller stopped
off at Cathlamet, transacted some bus
mess, and in due time reached Port
land, with the still unopened sack.
On presenting il for deposit at Port
land bank, it was found to contain
but $500. The frightened Miller tel
egrsphed to Astoria to find TO his
great relief that Capt. Whitcomb had
Just returned from Gray's harbor, and
had Immediately gone to the hoteI
proprietor with sack full of gold, u
which on being counted was found &c
amount to $1,000. 1t is hard to say
who was the most surprised-Capt-
Whitcomb at Grsy's harbor or Miller
in Portland, when each opsned the
sack. Ais well that ends We'll, and
nobody is out cent; cur chief reason
for making any mention of the oc.
currence Is to make plain the fact
thai "the Astoria bank" had nothing
to do with the mistake.

The Insurance Record or Eoah's
ARK.

The champion lie OF the century, TO
the effect that Noah's Ark has been
discovered on Ararat, has given rise TO
meny humorous comments. The
New York I'imcs is not behind the
other newspapers in this respect and
gives a purported interview between
its reporter and en- officer of an east
ern marine insurance company; rs fol-
lows:
Sir. Dennis said that although his
company was one of the Oldest in the
world, 1t had the records OF very few
vessels OF $500 B. G. Upon search
ing through the inspection minutes, -
however, ne found the following re-
cord:
TIE ARK. Built by Noah: owned
by Noah a. Son; tonnage; a, 2,4l3 90;
length over all, 525 feet; breadth of
beom, 81 and g inches; depth of hold
30 feet 6 inches; buiit OF gopher
wood; bow ports. and trenailed
throughout; used as y passenger and
cattle transport; rated Al.
"CAn you inform me what the
ark was insured forl' asked the re-
porter.
II should not feel at liberty 70
make that matter public without coa-
sulting the proprietors, replied -r.
Dennis.

An ingenious method of piIe-dr
ing has been successfully adopted in
m. king the foundation of the Palais
de Justice at Brunswick. Instead Of
the ordinary pile-driver. a simple
framework is erected to hold the pile
in position. Attached to each pile by
staples are two tubes OF about two
inches in diameter. These are carried
to the pointed end of the pile, where
they terminate and turn inward to-
ward one another. Thei, upper ends
are in communication by flexible pipes
with the city water main. When the
water is turned on it rapidly excavates
hole. in which the pile sinks by its
own weight, but should any unusual
resistance be met with, weights are
fastened TO the top of the pile. By
these means and under favorable cir
cumstsnces, a twelve-inc pile can be
sunk to depth of fifteen feet in ten
minutes. Each pile requires, Oh an
average, 200 gallons of water.

The Wrecked Bark.

at an early hour yesterday morning
two of the tugs went TO the stranded
bark CaiIpsmore. She is lying on
narrow ridge of sand some distance off
shore about two miles south of Point
Adams. She lies in twelve feet of wa
ter head on, pointing north east, with
all sails set except fore top gallant and
one other. The tugs went TO within
few cables length of her, in three and
a half fathoms of water, but the sea
was breaking badly and no attempt
was made to board her. There were
half-a-dozen people on the shore, but
no evidence that anyone had been
aboard except Messrs. Allen, Ford,
Mckenzie and McCabe, who examined
her yesterday afternoon, at which
time the vessel had made NO water.
Capt. A. w. Berry, Lloyds agent at
this port, and Capt. Prideaux of the
Chasca formed board ia accordance
with whose recommendation the ves-
sci aud cargo were sold by Z. C. Hol-
den last evening. The vessel as she
lies except the personal effects of the
crew, was Knocked down to Brown G.
McCabe for S425. The three ships
boats in which the crew made their
escape from the vessel were sold to j.
W. Welch for 500; Brown & Nc
Cabe made the only bid that was Of
fered on the cargo and got il for S25.
Its value intact is $4,000.

Marine Movements-The Columbia
Gable,

The fog hung low over the water
yesterday, and the stream in front of
the city wes alive with steam and sail
craft of every size. The Queen left
up at eight O'Clock; the Columbia left
for San Francisco about the same
time; the schooner Maid of Orleans ar
rived in from Humboldt with red
wood, and the Tam OShdnter from
San Francisco with general merchan-
disc; on the Tdn's forward deck lie
four large drums containing the cable
which is to cross the Columbia be-
tween FITS. Stevens and Candy and
connect the cape and signal service
station with the world. When fn-
ished, the station at that point viii be
the only one on the Pacifc-eoast ex-
cept San Francisco, where there are a
life station, a signal service sta
ton, and light house. The
advantages of telegraphic communi-
cation will be manifold. Daily bulle-
tins from the cape will be published in
The Historian every morning and all
movements of vessels, the condition ol
the bar, etc., viii be known here
thus avoiding the annoying delays o.
the past.
Lieutenant Allen viii immediately
proceed to have the cable stretched
across the bay, and in two weeks 1t i
expected telegraphic communication
will be complete.

were lying here Thursday night, one
Of the passengers on the former gave
a waiter two bits to take a letter to
the latter vessel, and that individual
had no sooner got on the dock than
he went plump into the water, being
unaware OF the fact that there was a
slip at Cass street. The affair caused
considerable hubbub, bnt the waiter
was 6nslly rescued. On getting out
he insisted on finishing his errand,
and delivered the much soaked mis-
sive.

Woman hOuseholders and rate PAYERS
in Scotland have had the right to vote,
since 1881, in all municipal elections.
The act Of Parliament which conferred
on them this right is identical with that
which gave the same right to the same
class OF EnglishWOmen. Only women who
are householders or rate payers in either
country can vote on any public question.
The logical Scotch mind has been aroused
to the anomaly of admitting women house
holders to the one vote and excluding
them from the other; that of Parliament
tary Franchise. National demonstrations
have been held in different parts of Scot
land to agitate the subject of memorial
to the Government praying for the extern
sion of Parliamentary Franchise to wo-
men householders and rate-payers. A
National Society for Woman Suffrage has
also been formed, and large meetings
have been held in Glasgow, Edinburgh
and in other places. The last meeting of
the National Society was held in st. An
drews square, Edinburgh. This was call
ed specially to do honor to Miss Susan B.
Anthony, the apostle Of the woman cause
in the United States, and many eminent
Scotch men and women were present
Among these were Professor Blackie, Rev.
DR. Adamson, Rev. r. B. Drummond,
Dr. Agnes M'Laren, Miss Stevenson,
Mrs. Robertson and Mr.. David and Mrs
Lewis. Miss Anthony gave an interesting
sketch of the progress of the womans
cause.
