The English police last week found
in Birmingham a secret workshop for
the manufacture of explosives, and Il
large number of arrests followed.
Startling developments of dynamite
plot We're unearthed, and the English
public are much excited thereby. The
English claim that the persons con-
nected with the plots for blowing the
country sky-high are Irish-Ameri-
cans, and are furnished with funds
collected openly in America for the
purpose of carrying on such work.
Just what the outcome of all this
racket will be is one of them things
no fellow can find out.

Five hundred dollars is the amount
fixed as the liquor license in Portland
with $4,000 bonds. The saloon keepers
don't like it, that is, the low down
keepers of dives and tough places, and
they propose to fight the city on the
rates fixed. The better class of sa-
looms are not averse to the new rates
established.

Texas furnishes the latest hotel hor-
ror, poorly built brick structure hav-

burying thirteen persons in the ruins,
who were burned up after the walls
fell, by the ruins taking fire from over
turned stoves. The town has gone
into mourning.

The concern which sails under the
name of Register in this city is again
spelling for fight, and pitches into
this paper because in an advertise
ment we have used the words "estab-
lished 1851" "olficial paper OF city and
county." AS the boy who runs the
concern seems to be ignorant of some
facts he shall be enlightened. Years
age when his brother owned this pa
per he bought the old Vancouver Reg
ister's subscription list, at the time it
suspended, and with it of course as
usual in such cases its name and good
will, which though intangible prop
erty, now belongs to this paper through
that purchase, and makes it the legal
successor of the old Register, possessed
of its date of establishment, and name
also if we should choose to use it.
When we bought this paper we paid
Mr.. Daniels the coin and took his bill OF
sale, and when he started another pa
per here, he not only violated his
honor as a printer but took from US
what we had paid him for i'm coin, and
to-day he has no more right to the
name Register than the thief has to
the watch he takes from mans
pocket. But as the boy mas learned
neither the printers trade, the GUS
toms of the craft, nor the courtesy due
from one business man to another, he
can perhaps be allowed to put in his
plea of ignorance, and we let il pass at
that. The title of official paper We
claim because that concern did not
make legal bid for the county print
ing, and any contract made on that
bid is null and void a. no considera-
ton is named therein, therefore the
contract by right belongs to this pa
per- This paper is without dispute
the official paper of the city.
In another item the boy attempts to
be funny at Mr.. ID. +. Schuele's ex-
pense, because we published the de-
cision in the case of the Crystal Spring
Water Co. vs.. the Vancouver Water
Co. in the exact language of the L. :.
District Court as recorded in the judg-
ment docket. Mr.. Bloomfield fur
nished the language of the record, and
he is alone to blame for it if there is
anything funny in the case. II he
don't want TO shoulder the response
bility for whatever may he ludicrou-
in this matter perhaps the boy may be
permitted to shift the responsibility
therefor upon Judge Hoyt or Deputy
Clerk Mcdonnell. All the funny bus
mess We can see in connection with
the matter is the fact that the plain
utf's lost their case without even com
ing To n trial on its merits. Thai
should be charged up to their attor'
pegs, aud not to outsiders.

The secretary of the interior has re-
Gently decided that an application to
amend homestead entry is a matter
of right only when necessary to cor
rect a mistake, clerical or otherwise,
which would result in depriving set
tier of his actual home or valuable i'm
provements, and if allowed in any
tive discretion, to enable him to take
the full quantity allowed by law, and
to avoid conflict with other asserted
claims. The new lands SO to be in
cluded must be vacant and free from
adverse rights, legal or equitable, so
that no injustice to any other person
shall result therefrom.

Enlarged, etc.
Mr.. George Marsh, OF the firm of Marsh 81
Jordan, corn packers at Brunswick, is fitting
up the capacious building on Custom House
wharf, the lower part of which is at present
occupied by A. L. johnson as a lobster shop.
with view to packing mackerel the canning
season. Mr.. Marsh for the present will reno
vate the upper rooms for can making, but will
have the entire building equipped by spring
for quite large business. Steam retorts, etc.,
will DO put in. The maxi ing of cans will be
entered upon quite early in the winter. From
April LIST to July LIST Mr.. Marsh proposes to
pack Holsters.
Messrs. Geo. e. DeeriDg & Co. have decided
upon adding to their facilities for packing.
The steam ovens and other arrangements for
processing will be remoy ed from the lower to
the second floor, leaving the former free for
cutting up fish, etc, In addition they will
have the entire upper part of the building at
the head of Commercial wharf, over Rich's
eating house, situated opposite th cir present
establishment. These additional accommoda-
tions will be used for labelling and boxing, and
also for storage OF goods. The two buildings
are to be connected by bridge.
Messrs. Burnham & Morrill, have got we'll

IN their winters work the present large force
will be further increased. The Portland Pack
ing Company are packing mutton to the ut

settled, become more stable.
G. e. Deering & Co.. have packed large
quantities of CLAIMS the past month at their
Scarboro shop.

The entertainment of the Y. NJ. G. A. at
their rooms last evening was largely attended
and thoroughly enjoyed. The exercises opened
with an organ voluntary by Mr.. Walter S.
Smith, followed by an anthem by the choir.
Remarks of great interest were made by the
general secretary and president of the associa-
ton. The other exercises included duet on
the flute and violin by Masters Balm and How
ard, which was meritorious performance,
and was admirably accompanied by Miss d.
W. Lincoln. The readings by Miss Laughton
were heartily encored and gave complete sat
isfaction. She favorably impressed all by the
versatility of her talent. There was singing
by the Chestnut Street Church choir. A fine
selection of solos, duets and trios was rendered
BY quartette from the same choir.
A class in stenography will be organized at
the association rooms next Tuesday evening.

The shooting Case.

The three Martins, George F., John B. and
Patrick, their father, were brought before the
Municipal Court yesterday forenoon. The
two young. men waived examination, and were
bound over to the January term of the Supe-
rior Court,-George f. in the sum OF 81 500.
for assault with a deadly Weapon, and John
B. in the sum of $1,000, for aiding and abet-
ting. Patrick pleaded aolo contendere to the
charge of threatening to shoot, and his case
was ordered to be continued to next Tuesday
forenoon.
Mr.. Deering states that the story of the
Martins abeut the mortgage is false. He says
says he gave a receipt for every cent of money
ever paid by the Martins on the mortgage to
him of tLeir house on Briggs street. Further
than that he says he repeatedly offered to dis
count literally If they would take up the mort
gage. In 1879, when Mr.. Deering foreclosed
on the mortgage, the Martins owed him almost
$4,000 Mr.. behring's statement places the
Martins in different light from that which
would be inferred from the charges Of John
Martin

burglars Fooled.

An uptown resident on his way home few
nights ago.saw two men skulking along the
fence between his house and that of his near
est neighbor. AS he approached he was con-
WINGED from their remarks that they proposed
to rob either one house or the other. He
hurried into his house loaded his revolver
with blank cartridges, meanwhile keeping his
eye on the fellows. They went through the
yard and entered the stable, which had been
left open by the coachman They had just be-
gun to ransack the stable when the owner ap-
peared upon the scene with cooked revolver
in his hand, and began firing. The men turned
and ran rapidly down Cassidy's Hill and dis
annaared
