Three Lives Lost by Steamboat Cal
amity in Oregon.
[Coppgat, 1sss, by de California associated Press
ASTORIA, January 30th.-A distressing
calamity resulting in the loss of three lives
occurred near here to-day. The steamer
Cleaner, eight t)ns burthen, the favorite
passenger and freight boat to various logging
camps located on streams in this vicinity,
oapsized near Tongue Point and sank ia
two minutes. Peter Jordon, the Captain
and owner, states that he left Astoria at
1890 A. NJ. with seventeen passengers and
three tons of freight for Deep River, w. T.
A strong wind was blowing from the south
west off Tongue Point. When he started
across the river heavy swell was running.
When about mile from the shore swell
struck the vessel. She broached to, and at
the same time the freight lifted to one side,
SENDING HER ON HER BEAMS END.
She could not right herself, and before
anything could be done she settled and
sunk. Fortunately the Cleaner had fish
ing-boat in tow. Says the Captain When
l felt her sinking l climbed out of the pilot
house window, jumped in the river and
swan TO the fishing-boat. Several pas
sengers did the same, and climbing in we
picked up all those struggling in the cold
river, except passengers Jacob Rennell,
Miss Mary Holt and Miss Hilda Wilma.
These three must have been in the little
cabin when she sunk"
Jacob Rennell, of Deep River, leaves a
wife and six children.
Miss Wilma, aged fifteen, was also of
Deep River.
Miss Holt, aged twenty-six, an estimable
lady, resided with her parents in this city.
OF the almost numberless little steamers
that have piled those waters, no such sad
accident ever occurred before. The fishing
boat in tow was providential. But for it
those saved must have all been lost, so
quickly did the Cleaner go from under
them in thirty feet of water.

The idiotic practice of fooling with
firearms was exemplifed in fashion Sun
day afternoon, which, for all the care the
author of the trouble exercised, might have
resulted in tragic consequences. 1t ap-
pears that a party of travelling showmen,
impelled by curiosity to witness the lodg-
ing place of Folsom's lions, had drawn up
their wagon to the gates of the State Prison.
after the whistle blew, and when all the
prisoners were under lock and KEY. One
of the mountehanks, being anxious to i'm
press the bystanders with the extent of a
showman's arsenal, produced q shotgun
from the body of the wagon, and with the
confidence which distinguishes those who
have an unloaded weapon in their hands,
commenced fooling with it in the orthodox
manner. The confidence, however, with
which the Snowman exhibited the points
and beauty of his avowedly unloaded arm,
was rudely dispelled when the latter was
discharged in unpleasantly close proximity
to Mr.. Teylor's person, the discharged wad
finding lodging place in his hat. Mr..
Taylor had his luck to thank more than
anything else that he was not killed on the
spot, and once more the moral is exempli-
fed that it is dangerous to tamper with

WASHINGTON, January 30th. - The
Speaker pro tenn. laid before the House to-
day letter from the Public Printer, in re-
sponse TO the resolution calling on him for
information as to the discharges made by
him. The Public Printer makes the state
ment in regard to these discharges, justify
ing and explaining them. He defends the
administration of his Office, and emphati-
cally denies the charge that the Congress-
ional work of the office is largely in arrears.
A debate followed, in which Richardson
of Tennessee defended the Printer.
Cutcheon of Michigan charged that old
soldiers had been discharged from the
Printers office in midwinter for no good
reason, and said that at the proper time he
would give the names.
Henderson of Iowa claimed that dis
charges had been made to make room for
Democratic workers.
Cutcheon offered a resolution for the ap-
pointment of special committee to in
vestigate the present administration of the
Printing Office.
Springer of Illinois offered a substitute
resolution instructing the Committee on
Printing, with the addition of two mem
bers-oue from each side of the House-to
investigate the Office during the incum-
bency of the present Public Printer and
that OF his predecessor. The substitute
was adopted.

WASHINGTON, January 30th.-The Su-

of the lower Court in the case of George T.
Hall VS.. The Western Union Telegraph
Company. Hall wired his brokers at Oil
City, Pa, to buy 10000 barrels of petro-
! leum. The message was not delivered
until after the Exchange closed. The next
| morning petroleum advanced Is cents, and
Hall claimed that by reason of the delay in
the delivery of the message promptly he
lost 81, 500. The Court held that Hall suf
fered no actual loss, as there was no trans
action in fact made, and there being neither
purchase nor sale there was no actual
difference between sums paid and sums re-
ceived in consequence of it, which could
be set down in profit and loss account
The only damage for which he is entitled

delayed message.
The case was remanded with directions
to enter judgment for that amount. JUS

QUESTION OF STATES RIGHTS.
A decision was also rendered by the
Court to-day in the case of Joseph J.
Smith VS.. the State of Alabama, which
presents another phase of the question of
States rights. Smith was locomotive
engineer, and was engaged in managing a
locomotive which regularly hauled trains
into and out of the State of Alabama. He
was arrested for failure to provide himself

affirmed. Justice Bradley disseuted.
