The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1888-08-01

AT mass meeting of citizens in
San Francisco recently a memorial
was drawn for presentation to con-
gress, setting forth that 5000 Chi
nese have been landed on writs of
habeas corpus since 1884, and that the
violation of the law has been accom-
plished through the agency of federal
courts. The memorial further charges
that there are now 1000 Chinese in
San Francisco without certificates,
who have been landed on writs OF
habeas corpus, and who are now out
on bail. In conclusion the memorial
demands the impeachment and re-
moval of Lorenzo Sawyer, judge OF
the United States circuit court of the
ninth circuit, and George M. Sabin
district Judge of the district of Ne.
vada.

CROSSING THE CONTINENT.
An Old Mans Progress in Long Walk
On Big Wager.

ST. JOSEPH Mo-, July Last night
a man 79 years of age, Charles D. Car
penter by name, arrived in st. Joseph.
He is engaged in walking from Astoria,
Oregon, to Portland, Me-, on a wager,
and is confident of winning. He was
for fifty-one years a sailor, and during
the late war served in the army and
navy. In spite of all the hardships he
has encountered he is as strong and
spry as man of 40. His usual weight
is $50 pounds, but his long walk has
reduced it to 140 pounds. He never
eats cooked meats of any kind, but
subsists entirely on raw beef, ham
and cooked vegetables. Last winter
he left New York on a steamer bound
for Astoria, Oregon, and went around
Cape Horn. In Astoria he one day
made short walk for bet and so
pleased number of sporting men by
his powers of locomotion that they
offered him $4,000 if he would walk
against another man from Astoria to
Portland, Me. He at once consented.
The other man was found in the person
Of an Irishman named Patrick Martin.
The gentlemen who got up the match
wagered $4,000 on the result, and
the two left Astoria on the 14th of
March. The distance he has travelled
so far is 2750 miles. Carpenter has
kept posted as to the whereabouts of
Martin, and finds that he is 450 miles
ahead of him. At every important
city he has to make oath before a not
airy as to the distance he has walked.
This affidavit is mailed to parties at
Astoria. Mr.. Carpenter is something
of an artist, and has made sketches
of the mountain peaks and other
scenery along the line of his march.
He is very confident of being the
winner in this novel race. and will
then write book chronicling some
of his adventures, the sale of which
together with the $4,000 he expects,
will keep him in comfort for the rest
OF his life. He is native of Vermont.

DANCE FOR CLEVELAND AND FOR
THURMAN.

Now take your partners, gentlemen.
The dance is just beginning,
Fraternal cheer, the Goddess says,
Shall have another inning.
Democracy, Columbia takes
To lead the merry german
And dance the states in unison
For Cleveland and for Thurman!
All promenade Now balance all
. Hit up the old cotillion,
Terpsichore's reveille sounds
From feet of sixty million.
For four more years of honest rule
The people will determine,
So swing your partners now and shout
For Cleveland and for Thurman.
Just move along the merry throng,
Keep rythmic step together,
For we're assured another term
OF good and hon est weather;
Well trip the light fantastic till
We shake the haunts of norman
With jubilation at the name
or Cleveland and of Thurman.
Salute to left Salute to right!
Now curtsey down the middle,
The Goddess twangs the harpsichord.
The eagle plays the fiddle.
Kentucky promenades Vermont,
Maine swings Louisiana
And all the solar system waves
The glorious Old bandanna.

and true adage, that "Haste makes waste"
and this has recently been illustrated by
those who sheared their sheep too early, as
the cold rains that succeeded, as we learn
from correspondent of the Highland Re
corder, caused number of the sheep thus
sheared to die. Humanity as we'll as wise
economy forbid the shearing Of sheep too
early. Those that may not die are made to
suffer and probably become injured and of
less profit in the future than they would
have been if not sheared so early.

A prominent temperance man from Vir-
ginia, who was present at the recent ma
tional prohibition convention at Indianap-
oils, is reported as saying that the temper
ance vote in this State at the next election,
is estimated at 5000, and that most of that
vote will be ''cast by democrats"
In this, we think, there is mistake. We
can't suppose that there are either 5000 or
500 democrats in Virginia, who would leave
their party and throw away their votes on
a prohibition or other ticket, which stands
no earthly chance of an election. They
will be pronounced fools if they do So
Lynchburq Advance.

on the surface only. For instance, the old

HUGH NJ. BROOKS,
ALIAS MAXWELL, To BE HANGED
AUGUST 10.

The British government has added
its powerful plea to that of English
and American influential friends to
save the life of young Brooks, who,
after more than three years from the
commission of his crime, will be hang
ed the coming Friday. 1t can scarcely
be that his life will be spared, as
there seems to be no reason why the
man who committed one of the most
atrocious of modern murders should
escape the doom of the murderer.
1t will be remembered that on April
IA, 1885, body packed in trunk
was found in room No. IA of the
Southern hotel, st. Louis. nvestiga-
ton showed that two young English
men, registered as Walter H. LepnoX
Maxwell and G.. Arthur Preller-the
latter travelling representative OF an
English business concern and the
former supposedly doctor-had been
at the hotel, and that one of them Oc-
cupied room No. IA, while the other
had room on the same corridor. 1t
turned out that neither had been seen
about the hotel for eight days. On
April 6, Maxwell" told one of the
servants that he was going away, and
that his friend Preller had gone out
into the country to see friends, and
would return. Maxwell paid the bill
of both men and left. Further mves-
LEGATION showed that on Easter Sun
day, April ), Maxwell had bought
chlorofOrm twice, and that on Monday
morning, April g. he purchased the
trunk in which the body was found.
"Maxwelln was eventually captured
in New Zealand by two st. Louis Off
GERS and taken back to st. Louis.
In November "MaXwelln was in
dicted, but there was some doubt as
to his identity. This was set at rest
by reporter who got from him what
was practically a confession that his
right name was Hugh NJ. Brooks, and
his home, Hyde, England. His faith
er was brought over and identified
his son, who was found guilty and
condemned to death.
The murderer's mother and sister
are now in this country. Few crimi-
mails, if any, have had more influential
friends than Brooks, who apparently
will not abate their efforts to save
him one jot, until the time for such
action shall have been past.
