of two witnesses that he had purchased
some plaster of paris, some being found
under the building, and others that drill

tains and ship north, but owing to lack Of
funds received and the embarrassment of
Malone & Co, he had been unable to do
anything. lie said he never wore light
vest In Lebanon and never bought any
plaster of paris, which he had no use for,
Costello, of Malone x Co, arrived In Leb-
anon Tuesday and Wednesday they made
arranements and shipped the outfit In n car
for Portland. Bannon declared that he had
nothing to do with the attempted robbery
and knew nothing about Il. Two valises
belonging to him were opened In Court
but contained nothing suspicious, though
an old and much used Bible was among
the things, tits probable Bannon win

Hrs CoURsE.-The following from the
Portland Welcome win show the course the
defendants In the .S5flisgs case are to pur.
sue "Mr. MEG uire informs us that he Is
prepared to prove that the plaintiff Is, or
rather was, at the time of making the
charge, what his paper called him-a 'mac-
que lie says he has the dead medicine
on the plaintiff, who Is merely figure
head pushed to the front by some prom
iuent citizens Of Albany who have been
journalistically stung in the past, and II II
were not that he Is busy in East Portland
regarding new pump for the water works
there, he would not have had the trial post
poned." According 10 the above Mr. Nc
Guire admits that the SifffRgs was his pa.
per, whereas while In Albany he claimed
that he only owned stock In t. We have
never heard thing against the prosecut-
ing wi.nesss character in Albany, and II Is
doubted ifanything can be produced.
SrooD UP.-Monday night while passing
along Washington Street south OF the U.
p. Church Mr. A w Thompson was APP
preached by gentleman, who politely
told him to throw up his hands, and then
remarked II guess, you'd better hand over
your loose change" Mr. Thompson re-
marked that he guessed he wouldn't, reach.
ed for his hip pocket, some one came In
sight up the street and the man took 10 his
heels. We understand that the Assistan:
Cashier of the First National Bank was
requested to hand over his money near the
same place few days ago but refused to
comply. AS none Of these fellows seem to
go AZ their standing up in very savage
manner, II Is anticipated that there will be
no serious results. A little cold lead Just
as an example might do some good though,
and the number of revolyers being sold Is
an indication that there may be a first-class
tramp funeral some day.
A CURIOSITY SHoP.--The aquarium car
which exhibited in the city Tuesday has
gone South The collection of curiosities
was fine one, consisting of three alliga.
tors, many birds, monkeys, etc. The two
dead mermaids are OF course manufactured,
though the fish part is fastened on In a
way to deceive. The boa constructor Is
fourteen feet long and the skeleton of the
sea horse was simply terrorizing. The
vampires are fine specimens and the CALI
ope surpasses any of the Albany boys who
try to initiate Il, In fact was the best ever
in Albany. The proprietors had a nice
stentorian way of describing things and
made their visitors at home. A unique
exhibition all together.
A Coop JoKE.-Among the ballots found
in the box of West Albany precinct was a
nOtelsigned by Ubbe Peters. Mr Peters had
paid 1t off. stuck it in his pocketan6 marched
directly for the polls aud voted. putting the
note in instead Of ticket for Cleveland as he
had intended. In connection with the busi-
ness Mr VIM Vance had waged $3.50 that
MIR Peters voted for Harrison, and having
been declared the loser paid the bet. The
finding Of the note places the wager in Pc
culiar position.
CAPS THE CLIMAx.-In speaking Of some
second growth crab apples we jokingly re-
marked that the next thing in order would
be some second growth pumpkins. Rev.
S. 6. Irvine has handed us not second
growth, but third growth squash vine, in
blossom, with a small squash on IT, This
rather puts in the back GROUND all pre-
vious records.
THE REAsoN.-Our contemporary says

predecessors and ripe enough to eat. They
are called the Lady's Blush apple but oi
course they do not blush quite as much as
during the heated season.
