and are TO the effect that the woman,
aged %, unmarried, took poison in
:he same room to which she had
been accompanied by the citizen A
physician, said to be DIR. Ayres, adj
ministered antidotes. He admitted
that he had been called at about l

girl suffering from strychnine pois-
oning; that she had died under his
care, and that he had promised, on
his professional honor. not to say
anytL ing about the matter until cal

case is surrounded with a mystery,
which none of the parties intereste
seem willing to throw light upon.

o.Iy evening, is exciting the atten-
ton of the police authorities. Chief

A Spiritual Fraud.

During the past week spin, seance
has been advertised to be given hy the
great Professor Slade at Turn Hall.
Between 90 and 90 people, says the
Standard, attracted by the great and
almost impossible feats that were to
be accomplished by this great and
only medium, assembled to witness
the performance. But, alas, for tn e
gullibility of human nature; the whole
thing turned out to Ge fraud Of the
meanest kind, perpetrated 10y an oily
tongued blk, who bears the name of
Harry Morton or Morte. He ap-
peared on the stage To make an excuse
for the non-appearance Of the great
Slade on the steamer. In the mean time
his confederate skipped with the coin.
A howl of Indignation was raised by
the crowd present, the ladies' in
particular, being most anxious to get
their tender fingers on the fraud.
Policeman Branch put in an appear
ance and arrested Morton, and to-
gether with the duped men and
women proceeded en- masse 10 police
headquarters. Things were very
lively there for about an hour, The
fair sex generally kicking as lively as
could be wished for. Merton WAS
given an opportunityto go with an
officer to hunt mp his missing treasurer
and refund. HIS couiidaut finally
came to the rescue aud dissorged the
il-gotten money. The fraud ought
to 60 to Astoria and give one per
formance before the committee of
safety. He would probably get what
he deserves down there.

Destructive Fires.

From Joseph kellogg, Of the steam
er Toledo, it is learned that the most
destructive fires are now raging in the
woods from Kalama, both up and
down the Columbia, and up the
Cowemen and Cowlitz rivers. Nr.
Bodine, on the Cowemen, has lost a
large amount OF logs, and his camp is
totally destroyed. Capt. Smith, who
has mill about fifteen miles mp the
CoWlitz, has lost about POO, 600 feet
of cedar lumber, and the FIRE is so
fierce in the woods that no one dares
to 90 to see what the damage Is. r.
A. Habersham. four miles above
Rainier, on the Oregon side, has al
ready lost about 5000 cords Of wood,
with more in danger. He is fortu-
nate enough to have an Insurance of
81. 30 per cord on his wood. c. {.
Doublebower, Just below, has lost GOO
cords, and has no insurance. George
Weidler, who has an extensive log
ging camp near Oak Point, will be a
very heavy loser, it being reported
that already his loss is $780, ,O90. He
has lately built about six miles of rail
road and made other extensive i'm
proyements, ali OF which it is thought
will be total loss. The fire RACES 50
that no one can make an investigation,
but everything in the woods now viii
burn till a hard rain puts it ont.
Never has such destructive fire been
known either in Oregon or Washing
ton, but as yet no loss Of life is re-
ported. Loggers will not go in the
woods for timber. and prominent
mill man thinks that all mills that
have not large supply Of logs viii
soon have to close down. -Orsgoniaa.
