In The Justice Court.

In the justice court yesterday the
assault and battery case of Math-
ews against McDonough was settled
and dismissed. John Francis O'Con-
nor charged with resisting state offic-
ers in the discharge of their duties,
waived examination, and was bound
over to appear before the grand jury
with bonds fixed at $1,000. Amos
Robinson was charged with assault
and battery on one Henry Albright;
found guilty and fined S25 or twelve
days in the county jail Larry Sui
liyan was arrested on two charges of
larceny by baiIee and Will have hear

OConnor was held on two separate
charges, and gave $500 OH each charge,
which he had TO put up, and which of
course, he will forfeit, for he must 90
with his vessel: the next grand jury
meets ON the 2nd OF February, 1890,
and by that time the K K0oringa will be
two-thirds of the way to Europe. At
first sight this seems little hard, but
he had ample warning; there was no
snap judgement taken on him; sheriff
Smith told him repeatedly to go slow,
aud quit making hostile demonstra-
tions, but he thought he was bigger
than the whole state of Oregon, and
now he knows better. There is no law
IN this state To compel Il man 20 remain
after he has succeeded in obtaining
the amount of bail bonds required and
if the individual sees fit to go with his
vessel, that is his lookout He should
have thought of all that before he
started to interfere with an Oregon
sheriff in the discharge of his duty.

AN ASTORIAN IN LUCK.
Geo. W. Fisher Heir to Many Millions.

Sometime ago The Historian had
an item about the death of an old
gentleman in northern Germany, the
uncle of Geo. w. Fisher, the propri-
.etor of the Vienna restaurant; and the
leaving of an immense estate, worth
many millions of dollars. At the
time Mr.. Fisher was In communica-
ton with other members of the family,
joint heirs, residing in Illinois and
Texas. These relatives have gone to the
old country, and numerous letters
and cablegrams received by him from
there confirm the original report. The
oldgentleman, who was abachelor, died
on the 18th of April, 1888, in the nine
ty-second year of his age, and leaving
an enormous property representing,
in our money, about twenty millions
Of dollars; and consisting in great part
Of mines In which the state is joint
owner, and which are now being
worked under government auspices,
and an accounting made to the court.
At the time the old gentleman died,
it was supposed that he had made a
will, but after diligent search last
ing nine months, the probate court
announced that no will could be
found The court then made an or
der that all the heirs should make
personal appearance there, for divi-
sion of the estate. Up to the time
the American heirs began to arrive
there had forty whine registered there,
as being OF kin to the deceased, but
investigation develops that few of
them can make good their claim, and
it now looks as though but four or
five would be recognized by the Ger
man courts as being legal heirs. One
of these fortunate few is our fellow
townsman, and there isn't soul in
the place that will not rejoice with
him over his good fortune. To make
it satisfactory all round, the
German court has issued an order that
all the heirs shall appear, personally
or by attorney, on or before February
LIST, 1890, and though doing an excel
lent business, Mr.. Fisher has some no.
ton OF taking a little run over to the
old country, sometime this winter,
just to see that fair division is made
of the property, and that none of the
other heirs are kept out of their share.
When he returns (that is, if he should
take a notion to go) he will have be-
tween four and five million dollars,
and can afford to take it easy for a
little while, anyhow.

merican Money in Europe.

About 10000 Americans were
among the visitors to the Paris exhibi-
ton. They must have spent, on an
average, 300 in Paris, or about S12,-
100000. The cost of the voyage to
and from Europe and of their travel
ing and purchases while there must
have been at least $500 apiece. making
S60,OO0,000, the total thus being about
S52,OOQ,OOO. II we add Mr.. G. P. Hunt
ington's contribution to Prince Hatz-
feldt and those of other exceptional
millionaires not to be classed among
the mass, it is safe to say that at least
S1OO, 100000 of American money were
spent in Europe last summer.-Phila.

Twenty five years have passed since
president Lincoln issued the first
national proclamation setting apart
the last Thursday in November, 1863,
as a day Of national thanksgiving
for general blessings exactly in ac-
cordance with the time -honored New
England idea which from that time to
the present has carried its serene and
eleyating joys to an widening
circle until to-day its observance is
universal throughout the length and
breadth of our great land. Two other
presidents had each proclaimed a gen.
eral Thanksgiving day for special oc-
currences, as, indeed, Lincoln himself
had previously done, but they were
not In the spirit of the old pilgrims
who established the festival as a day
of thanksgiving and praise to God, not
for any special blessing, but for all
his constant mercies and gifts 1t
was not therefore, until 1868 that from
"a purely New England institution
Thanksgiving day became a national
festival of rejoicing universally cele-
brated from the forests of Maine to
the surf-washed shores OF this Pacific
coast.
