New STEAMER FOR GRAY's HAIR
BOR.-There Is buildIngin Portland at
the Willamette Iron Works a fine
steamerfor the Shoalwater Bay Trans
portation Company, to ply on Gray's
Harbor and the Chehalis river. She
is 1l0 feet long, 20 feet beam and 81
feet depth of hold. Her engines are
IL inch bore and foot stroke. The
machinery was manufactured by the
Willamette Iron Works and the hull
by Pacquet Bros. She will have full
cabin and eight stauerooms, and her
carrying capacity is about 200 tons.
J. H. Rutter is experimenting her
construction. She will be finished
about the middle of August and shortly
after her trial trip will steam to Gray's
Harbor. About year ago the steamer
Montesano was put on the bay by the
company and the trade has SO in
creased that two steamers are neces-
sary. Bsath will run in connection
with the coasting steamer General
Miles. Gray's Harbor is enjoying a
steady prosperity, unaffected by bot
tomless boOms.

Speaking on the effect the compile
tion of the Northern Pacific railroad
will have on the commerce of San
Francisco, the Bulletin says: "San
Francisco will become in larger
sense the port for the whole north
west. There are good seaports, it is
true, in Oregon and Washington Ter
ritoty, but they are not in positions
to be large distributors of merchandise.
San Francisco does not occupy, in the
matter of foreign goods, a position,
with reference to the vast region un-
der consideration, much inferior to
that of New York or any Of the At
lantic cities. San Francisco will re-
main forever the unquestioned mis-
tress Of 1000 miles of sea coast on the
Pacific, and the port, or entreport, Of
the great northwest as distinguisha-
BILE from the northeast

Weston Leader: The 20O-acre field

over 50 bushels to the acre. His bar

Messrs. Reese, Jones 4 Co. had about

Cold Spring. The yield was 80, 40 and
so bushels to the acre, on the differ

At Seattle the wharves are lined

John Paul Logan of st. Paul pub
fishes card as follows: 81 will pay
$1,000 reward to mob who will lynch
a white man for numbering a negro in
the South or for outraging a negro
woman in the South. The daily lynch
ing Of negroes is like handle to a jug,
all on one side, and Just to vary the
monotony and see a refreshing change,

enterprising southern men who will
change the programme for once and
give one of their white murderers a

The disastrous earthquake which
visited the little island of Ischia re-
Gently must be classed as one Of the
most terrible in the history of such
island In the Mediterranean sea a few
miles off the coast Of Italy, and had
on its twenty-five miles of area pop
ulation OF 1900 before the earthquake.
Over 40OO persons were killed out
right by the disaster, and 1000 injured.
The loss of life has been exceeded only
by the frightful series Of earthquakes
in the Chic Islands three yerars ago,
for many years. In the Chic earth
quake the lives'lost numbered thous-
ands, and q succession Of shocks

Rsvtsing An Ancient Maxim.

"Till the earth grows old, and the
stars grow cold, and the leaves Of the
Judgment book unfold, forever In this
world will man suffer ills untold" I"
The truth of these lines cannot be i'm
peached, yet much of human misery
and physical suffering could be- obvi-
ated IL the people would only accept
practical advice. Probably no com
plants are more frequent than indi-
gestion, lauguor and liver and kidney
complaint, especially at this season Of
the year, yet mankind will suffer or
be dosed by high priced physician
without relief, when box of Swayne's 8
Pills would effect . thorough cure.

Dick Jeffs, one of the pioneers Of
King county, tells the Seattle Post In
teltigencer that the present season is
almost identical with that Of 1857.
Then it did not rain a drop from the
lst of May to the lst of October. The
fires burned in the dried brush and
timber terribly, and the air was filled
with smoke so dense that it was i'm
possible at MONDAY to see more than
a hundred yards, and sometimes not
even so far as that. The season of 1868
was another dry and smoky one, the
smoke then being quite as dense for
weeks at a time as it is at present.

The Spokane Chronicle says: We
learn from Messrs. Livingstone Stone
and Geo. b. Williams, L. 5. Fish
Commissioners, who are here inspect
ing the waters OF Eastern Washing

they find the point below the falls

kane the most favorable and feasible
locality in this region for their pur-
pose, and will probably decide to To-

Payne and Pendleton Said 10 be About
Equally Strong as Candidates.

CINCINNATI, ONO, December 10.-The
Payne movement, of which little was heard
for fortnight or more, Is being pushed
again. Mayor Farley, of Cleveland, and
Gill Barger arrived in Cincinnati this
morning, and have had conferences during
the day and evening with several Hamil-
ton County members of the Legislature.
They do not deny that they are here in the
interest OF Payne, and they both claim that
his election is certain. A Payne man, re-
siding in Cincinnati, said to-day that
Psyne's chances before the caucus have i'm
proved in the last ten days, but he could
not yet see that his election was
certain. As matter Of fact,
continued the gentleman, the number of
votes actually pledged to Payne and Pen
dleton, respectively, is about the same.
They each have about 20 members on
whom they can rely. The number neces-
sary to nominate is AZ. Gen. Ward, Con-
gresham Converse and Congressman Seney
will each receive some complimentary
votes, and there are number of members
who have not yet expressed any prefer
ence. 1t is likely that the Ward and Seney
votes will 90 10 Payne, and the Converse
votes to Pendleton. Then those who have
expressed no preference will step to the
front and decide the contest The Demo
cratic papers in the country towns, the
the speaker added, are waking up, and the
drift of things is in favor of Payne; but at
the present momen! they are very even.
Payne is the strongest in the Senate, while
Pepdleton has the most strength in the

WASHINGTON, December 10. - Among
other investigations by Congressional COM
mittees that are talked of as likely to be
made during the session, are enquiries con-
cerning the appointment OF Justice STAN
ley Mathews to the Supreme Bench, the
management Of the South Carolina politi-
cal prosecutions, and the compromise Of
the Treasury steal, known as the Ottman
case. These all affect judicial departments
of the Government, and it is urged that no
lapse of time ought to furnish sufficient
reason for permitting alleged corrupt prac-
tices affecting it to sleep undisturbed
Judge Mathews appointment it was
charged, grew OUT of the necessities OF the
Garfield campaign. and the allegation was
that heavy corporations, such as those in
which Jay Gould was interested, refused
to contribute to the Republican campai gn
fund unless they received some compensa-
ton in the shape Of judge in the court Of
last resort, who was supposed to be friend.
" to their interests. The charge is one that
was easily made and could be backed up
by good deal of corroborative evidence
grow ing out of the past relations OF parties
Implicated in it, but it is doubtful If il
could even be definitely proven even il
true. Negotiations of that character are
not usually made in such way as to leave
much conclusive testimony available. The
investigation of the other matters would
probably add something to the testimony
already Oh record, as to the loose and ex
,ravaeant manner in which Attorney Cen
eral Brewster has ran his department.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-Talking
over the reunion OF Union and Confeder-
ate soldiers here last week as Mexican
veterans, General Kelly told me Of several
curious instances of amenities occurring
between the two sides during his campaign
in the West Virginia department. Re-
ferrjng to Capt. Baylor, who recently died
at Charlestown, he referred to one OF the
latters raids at Harper's Ferry, where the
Confederates induced Federal guard to
come over to the Maryland side with
boat by waving white handkerchief.
When the guard landed they called on him
to surrender, but having more valor
than discretion, he reached for his
gun TO resist and was Immediately
billed. Baylor, who commanded the Con.
federates, was subsequently captuIed and
twice tried and convicted OF violating
tleg Of truce on the occasion referred to,and
was Orly saved from hanging by kellys
GisappIovsl Of the proceedings OF the court
martial. Whru, u short time afterward,
Kelly, together with Gen. Crook and
1haye er Melvin, were captured, the first Of
tiCer TO whom his captots reported was
Baylor, and the first thing he did WAS to
take Kelly in his arms and hug him before
proceeding to minister to his necessities.

SOCIETY'S QUEEN.
The Wife Of John G. Carlisle a Lady Quail
fed to Shine in Any Circle and a -
FitCompanion of So Able
Man.

WASHINGTON, December 10-Mrs. Car
lisIe, the wife OF the new Speaker, will on
the lst OF January take her place as the
leader in official social circles. AS long as
Senator Edmunds holds the position of
President pro. tenn. OF the Senate Mrs. Ed
munGs will really rank Mrs. Carlisle, but
even ii Senator Edmunds should continue
to be acting Vice President Mrs. Carlisle
will be the leading lady, as Mrs. Edmunds
is in mourning for daughter and conse.
quently will not go in society. At alt otti.
cial dinners this winter Mrs. Carlisle, like
Mrs. Keller last yea, will rank her hus-
band, ard if the President is present will
take the position corresponding to his.
This Cfiicial etiquette seems very strange
outsiGe of Washington, but here where SO
many guests at entertainments are oiticial
it is absolutely necessary that there should
be some rule Of precedence, or else
There Would be Bitter JeaiOusIes.
At dinner the oldest Senator in point
of service takes precedence OF all other
Senators present, even though he may be
the dullest and most pninteresting one
present. In the same way the members
who have served the longest take prece-
dence OF the younger ones.
Mrs. Carlisle is woman who can bill
any position. She is a kentuckian, having
been born in the city OF Covington, where
their home now is. Her father was prom
inent man in Kentucky and was Mayor OF
Covington for many years. Mrs. Carlisle
inherits the splendid physique OF the typ
ical Kentuckian. She is five feet nine
inches in height and straight as an arrow.
Her figure is as 1.-the as young girls.
She fs Blonde in Complexion
with blue grey eyes set rather deep under
strongly marked eyebrows. Her blonde
hair Is banged and worn slightly waved in
the prevailing fashion. 1t is difficult to
reaiiz. that Mrs. Carlisle is the mother OF
two q own sons. The eldest one was mar

A stable of Mr.. Slmuel Miliigan'S, the
butcher, locsted in the Third ward, near
his residence, was burned to the ground,
Yesterday. The flames were noticed issuing
from the loft shortly after three o'clock and
the building was soon laid in ruins. The
stable was well filed with hay and con-
tanned some grain. Mr.. Milligau estimates
his loss at about $500, with no insurance.
He was in Wheeling at the time with his
wagon and horses, else they would have
been burned, making the loss much greater.
The leg factory whistle was blown and, as
usual, considerable excitement prevailed.
Bows have been in the habit of playing
about this stable and it is supposed they
fired it wiliully or Accidentally.

simply great considering the way the
bazaar was conducted. There was 10 voting,
no lotteries, and only ten cents was charged
at the door. After the bills were footed
up vote of thanks was rendered TO every
person who contributed To the bazaar IN
any way whatever; also 70 the members Of
the society for their cooperation. This So
ciety started some months ago with seven.

amount is S2gG. Is, which is immense. The
membership is nov about forty, and the
