In Second street saloon yesterday a
citizen who was on tear demanded that
everybody in the place come up and
drink with him. There were seven men
in there and six came promptly to the
bar in response to the call. The seventh
was an old bum who was half asleep. and
the man with the red paint slapped him
on the back and yelled:
"Do you intend to insult me?'
"Naww
"Then come up and drink with me-"
"Don't want any"
"But you've got to drink or fight,
which is it?'
"I-I guess I'll drink, but I've got a
headache and don't want il"
'No matter about that-get up herer'
There were six glasses of beer on the
counter waiting and as the old bum got
up he reached for the first and gulped il
down, and then slid along, down the bar
and emptied every glass in rotation with
ont hardly stopping to breathe. When
he had finished the last one he turned to
the citizen and said:
81 don't feel well, but if you insist on
it I'll take about four fingers of whisky

IL il Now Being Built to Astoria.

Washington has been advertised
through the east for many years, and of
late she has been reaping the benefit of
this. We rarely pick up paper but that
our neighbor is lauded to the skies and
Oregon scarcely mentioned. The reason
of this is very apparent. The great trans
continental line, the Northsrn Pacific,
has always displayed the best railroad
sense of any line in the northwest. 1t
thoroughly understands the fact that
every settler who makes a home near
the line of the road is q feeder to
it, and on this account it desires as many
immigrants as possible in Washington.
Through its efforts the new state has
rapidly increased In population, and her
different resources have been developed
by eastern capital. If Oregon had been
treated in the same manner, she would
have double the population she now has,
and her only hope for the future is in
having a trans-continental line built
through to the ocean.-The DGELes Times

THE JOHNSON INQUEST.
The Verdict of the Jury in the Matter.

The inquest on the body of John John
son, better known as salvation Army
Butch" was resumed yesterday morning.
The first witness called was VIM. Dunlap
who said he was in the Chicago sa-
loon Saturday night, between two and
three weeks ago, wes playing pool with
Miss Weiman and couple of friends;
noticed a man come; he came up and
asked Miss Weiman to have a drink.
Did not know who the man was. Have
heard he was John johnson since. Did
not hear him ask the girl any questions;
did not hear Peter Wieman order the
man out, but saw him go out. 1t was
after midnight when he came.
j. J. Bottger was next called and said;
81 saw Butch about two days before he
was missed. He was not drunk at that
time. l heard that he had won consid-
cradle money, but did not see him have
any. That was the last time | saw him
before heard that he was missing.
, Annie Weiman was next sworn and
said: "Fhe night before Johnson disap-
peared he was in the Chicago saloon.
He came up TO where / was standing and
asked me TO. have drink. While my
brother Peter was getting the drinks, he
asked me to 60 up stairs with him.
Brother Peter heard him ask me that
question and he Indignantly ordered him
out of the saloon, and he immediately
went without any trouble"
This concluded the testimony, and the
jury retired. After few minutes con-
ference they brought in the following
verdict:
In the matter of the inquest on the
body of John johnson, deceased:
We, the jury empaneled to inquire into
the cause of the death of John Johnson,
deceased, find that his name was John
johnson: that his nativity is unknown:
that he came to his death about the Both
of October. A. D., 1889, in Clatsop coun-
tY, state of Oregon, caused by wounds
made on the head and throat; that the
said wounds were made by a party, or
parties unknown to this jury.

TOTAL Loss OF THE FEARLESS.
All on Board Drowned OF the Umpqua
River.

The tug Fearless, Capt. Jas. Hill,
which arrived here last Monday from
Empire City with a lot of Cinnamon
from the cannery at that place, left for
Coos Bay last Tuesday morning and ran
on to North spit, at the mouth of the
Umpqua river that evening, and soon
went to pieces, not one on board escap-
ing. At 8 P. NJ, that day she was seen off
Upper Ten Mile, steaming slowly down
the coast Just outside the breakers, which
were running very high, and at O'Clock
her whistle was heard off the mouth of the
Umpqua. At quarter before seven she
gave three sharp whistles, which was the
last seen or heard of her until the next
morning, when her pilot house with the
end stove in, small boat, the stern, one
side of her hull and numerous small
pieces were discovered coming up the
river with the tide. The steamer Juno at
once steamed down to the mouth of the
and the beach was patroIled for miles to
the south, but no bodies were discovered.
Other parties who came down the coast
from the north reported that they had
seen no bodies in that direction. The
general impression of seafaring men is
that she had sprung leak, and that the
captain was attempting to get into the
river, in order to save the lives of those
on board, and either rmiscalculated his pc
sition or was blown out of his course by
the heavy wind prevailing at the time.
She had on board seven people as fol-
lows. Jas. Hill, captain, Henry Grow,
engineer. Walter Heating, fireman, an
assistant fireman, a deck hand, Chi
nese cook, and Geo. S. Marshall, the pro-
prietor of the cannery at Empire City,
who came up on her, and was returning,
News of the wreck reached here yes
terday morning.
Capt. Hill was well-known in Astoria,
and along the Columbia. He had been
master of the tug Fearless for the last
ten years. He was part owner in several
of Simpsons schooners; he told the
writer in a conversation at the Occident,
last Monday, that on his retnrn here he
was going to pat $4,000 into Astoria
real estate.
Geo. S. Marshall was also well known
here. He had just finished fairly pros
porous season at Empire City. Henry
Grow and Walter Keating were also well
known in Astoria.
The tug was not i'll the best of con-
dition; she had been rebuilt few years
ago. She was owned by A. M. Simpson,
and was valued at $4,000; uninsured.

The MuItnomah Carries The Broom

The steamer MultlOmah, was trans
ferred to the Sound some time ago, where
she has regular run. Although the
MultliOmGh WAS not the fastest steamer
on the river when she left here, she could
come very near holding her own with
any of them. On the Sound the rivalry
between the steamers is very sharp, and
when they happen alongside of each
other they invariably throw open
the throttle and raise all the steam the
law allows them to carry.
The HuItnomdh has been noted for
her fast time since taking her run on the
Sound. She had q race yesterday, az
the following dispatch will show:

There is an Indian ex-chief, now resid-
ing at Metlakahtla, British Columbia,
named Jim, who is to be the recipient of
a singular token of gratitude from his
Successor to the chieftainship of the
tribe of which both are members. Some
years ago Jim killed an Indian who had
provoked quarrel, and Jim was arrested
for murder, but in some way escaped
trial. On his return home he was forced
to abdicate in favor Of the heir apparent
This latter assumed the chieftainship,
but always felt grateful to Jim for hav-
ing, committed the crime which placed,
him, the present chief, at the head of the
tribe, and promised that should it ever
be in his power to show his gratitude in
@ substantial way he would do SO. Last
summer Jack, the present chief, cleared
$4,000 netting salmon, and out of the
money thus obtained set aside the sum
of $500 to pay for monument which is
now being made at Victoria. The monu.
ment chief Jack proposessto have snit-
ably inscribed and taken to Metlakahtla,
where it will remain until Jim departs
for the happy hunting grounds, where it
will be erected over his grave. The ex-
chief is very proud of the monument.
and hopes fe live to see il completed and
transported TO his native village, where
it viii unveiled with becoming cere-
monies.

Something curious happened in Kent's
meat msrkBtTecently, which seems un-
explainable.a The butcher, while cutting
a hog in two, had his knife strike some
hard substance, and, on examination,
found that, 1.-The knife had struck ten
cent pieces which was firmly .imbedded
in the backbone. How the coin gos into
such q place is somewhat of conun-
drum.-WdILc WGltG Union, 2f. Pshaw;
that's not hard. The hog swallowed the
dime when he was little, wee, wee pig.
Talking of swallowing things, they tell in
Yaquina, of q Wisconsin lady, now there,
who years ago, when quite a little girl,
swallowed needle; that was as much as
fifteen years ago, and last week the same
identical needle worked out of the right
arm of her youngest child, q healthy boy
baby, four months old. Now that's lots
stranger than the pig and the ten-cent
piece.
