On Thursday night Of last week at
about 10 o'clock the report of n revolver
was heard In the store of Il. Rosenthal
at Corvallis. Some persons standing
near who heard il rushed into the store
when they found Mr., Rosenthal lying
on the floor dead, revolver In his
hahd and blood flowing from his mouth,
he having shot himself In the mouth,
the ball going upwards into the brain.
The circumstances which lead to this
tragedy were of the most peculiar. as

several yeats ago married daughter OF
Mr.. s. q. Kline. About y year ago she
died, her loss being greatly bereaved by
Mr.. Rosenthal. Since then there seems
TO have been trouble in the family,
about which different stories are told,
one being that the Kline family want
ed ROsenthal TO marry another daugh-
Ter, which Is probably the correct
one Anyway Ii culminated la

The Markets.

Wheat remains at 7sc. in Portland and
about 81 here; but as there are almost no
sales there is little else than a name in the
price, Wool Is stationery at about l41<c
for best quality. Hay begins its summer
campaign at 81 70 50 for loose, and IS for
baled. Hams are quoted at &C., sides, Sc.
and shoulders SIC. Eggs, 2Oc., butter,
lOc, Potatoes are down to 4Oc., apples
Soc, piums 75c. LsIge Oregon plums are
unknown In the East, except a. they are
shipped there. Recently a Chicago man
ssnt a large quantity from this State to
that city. They cost him soc. and the ex-
pressage 75c. a bushel yet such luxury
are they there that retail dealers pay s. q
bushel or lOc pound for them, and sell
them TO their cuStemsrs at a big profit.

They Were sharp.

The Iowa editors were sharp, They got
the good graces of the people wherever
they went by telling them that their girls
were the handsomest they had seen yet +;
until even the freckle faced girls OF Eu-
gene, the monstrous footed girls OF ASH
land, the Kentucky cave mouthed girls of
Corvallis, the cross eyed girls of Nc Mimi
vile, and the milk and water girls OF
Salem, began to think they were really
handsome. What fall there is now when
1t is learned that 1t was all put on in every
case except with Albany that they were
playing the hypocrite to get a square
meal. Albany gave them no dinner, but
they complimented our young ladies be-
cause they could not do otherwise.

Fatal Accident.

About dark on the 4th a man named
Crabb, was riding ahorss az full speed
along Broadalbin Street when he came in
contact with the tongue of a wagon coming
from an opposite direction. He retained his
position on his horse until in front of Mr. d
Mans6eld's, when he fell to the ground, and
was soon after picked up and taken into Mr.
Mansfeld's and DIR Wallace was sent for. 1t
waS thought at first that he could not live,
but on the next morning when DIR Wallace
went to attend him he had gone home.
After reaching his home he began expe-
riencing serious effects from the wound. and
soon afterwards expired The tongue struck
on his left side, near his stomache, aud injur.
I'D him internally, but it was not at first sup
posed TO be OF 80 serious a nature.

rande0BHrE stabbed snaIth.

Harrisburg was the scene of very serious
tragedy on last Saturday. On the morning Of
that day Arthur BrandenLurg loaned George
Smith a sum of money. About one o'clock
they met in the Snug saloon, when they had a
quarrel oyer the matter, aud one or two
fights. Finally in the heat of the excitement
Brandenburg drew,out his knife and attacked
Smith with it, hitting him blow over the
heart. close enough though SO that it just
reached the pericardium. but did not pierce ii'
Smith fell senseless, and was takso care of by
his parents, but it Is thought 1t will be inn
possible for him to survive the cut. At last
accounts he was just alive. BrAndenburg
made his escape and left for parts unknown.

Eire alarm,

Last Monday afternoon about 8 O'Clock
while in his Office in the Foster Brick Hon
w r Bnyeu discovered smoke issuing
from the warehouse OF Foshay q Mason,
iust back Of the block, Giving the alarm
the fire department was promptly on hand,
only to find that Aye hand grenadeS had
superseded them. When the alarm was
first given William Daniel, Clerk Of Fo'
shay e Mason, rushed into the building
with his hands full of grensdes,the flames
at the time reaching from the door TO the
roof. Breaking five of them nothing was
left but sparks, which an application of
water completely extinguished,
The cause Of the fire was the combustion
of a quantity Of PHOSPHORUS which had
been placed in water in the building; but
owing to the extreme heat Of the day the
water had evaporated, leaving tho phos-
phorous in a condition to easily ignite
As the warehouse contained large quaR'
tity of kerosene the call was very close
one to confiagration perhaps OF large di'
mensions,

Nrs. Gesner, who lives in two-story
frame house at Manuel, Rockland Co..
n. r., was sitting in her kitchen with
her babe In her lap one evening recently
when the heavy thunderstorm struck the
town. While watching the lightning
which flashed into the room through the
windows, ball Of fire suddenly appear
ed in front Of the stove close to her feet.
The ball was vivid brilliancy, and made
noise like humming top. Mrs. Gesner
did not move, although thoroughly
frightened. A moment later the bail ex-
ploded with slight report, but did no
injury either to the mother or her child
or the furniture in the room. In room
on the next floor, however, Mrs. Gesner
found that mirror stand had been shat
tered. Several persons who visited the
house the next day and made an exami-
nation Of the place were unable to find
where the ball had entered the building.
1t is supposed that it came dewn the
stove pipe.
