Ashore Near the Cliff House.

The American ship Ericsson had a
narrow escape from complete wreck
age Tuesday night. The night was
dark outside the Heads and thick fog
hung over the ocean. Captain Mccoy
of the tug Acti0e was successful in
getting a line to her, but in towing
her in he lost his reckoning, and the
ship struck the shore at a point be-
tween the Cliff House and the hfe-sav,
ing station, almost in the same spot
where the Bessie EOerding was lost
last year. The ActiUe made an at,
tempt to steam out to sea, but the
ship stuck fast. For nearly two hours
she pounded on the beach. Word was
sent into town, and another tug went
to the assistance of the Acti0e. An
additional hawser was got on board
and the Ericsson was pulled off and
towed into port badly leaking. The
Ericsson is the second vessel that has
escaped from this spot, the James
Chester being the other, while the
number of those which have met their
fate there is legion.-S. r. Bulletin, Is

WHILE the most of our exchanges
in commenting on the killing of Terry
by Nagle say, 'it served him right
some of the comment is to the effect
that Nagle murdered Terry, and
should be tried for murder.
Nagle will undoubtedly be tried,
but will just as undoubtedly be ac-
quilted. Terry forfeited his life when
he made those threats against Justice
Field, and the moment he advanced to
assault the representative of the maj,
esty of the law, his existence was
deodand. 1t wasn't Field, the individ.
ual, he struck, but the embodiment and
incarnation of justice. This is point
that must not be overlooked. Field
had no quarrel with Terry, but as al
expounder and mouthpiece of the su
preme court announced a righteous
decision. For this Terry sought his
life and lost his own.

AN INFRACTTON OF Law.

The Historian notices in three
prominent state exchanges, the adver-
tisement of the Louisiana lottery.
The advertising agent has repeatedly
sent THE AsToRIAN the advertisement
which has been repeatedly declined,
for no other reason than the follow
ing:
Section 1888 Oregon statutes: "If
any person shall advertise any lottery
ticket or share in such ticket, or any
writing, token, or other device as Is
mentioned in section 1880 (659) for
sale. either by himself or another, or
shall in any way invite or entice, or
attempt to invite or entice another to
purchase or receive the same, or shall
set up or exhibit any sign, symbol, or
emblematic or other representation
OF lottery, where such ticket, share,
thereof, writing, token, or other de-
vice can be purchased or obtained,
such person, upon conviction thereof
shall be punished by imprisonment in
the county Jail not less than one
month nor more than six months, or
by fine not less than twenty dollars
nor more than two hundred dollars.
This is the law and it should be
observed.
The law doesn't prevent people
from buying the tickets: nearly a
thousand dollars a month is spent in
Astoria alone for tickets in the Loui
sana lottery, but it does forbid news
papers advertising the lottery and
our contemporaries should observe it
The AsToRIAN usually has enough
to do to mind its own business with
out minding how its esteemed con
temporaries manage their affairs, bu'
this thing is getting a little tiresome
The advt. pays big, it is the best pay
ing advertisement going, and the en-
tire state press should observe the
law, and those violating it should bt
punished, or else the law should be re-
pealed. That's business.

ENDED IN A ROW.
Three Men Shot at a Prize Fight in
Seattle.

A prize fight occurred on the 7th at
Seattle, w. T., between William Scott
and Frank Britton, which ended in d
row that will probably result fatally to
one or more men. In the fourth round
Britton claimed a foul This the
referee refused to allow and ordered the
fight to proceed. Britton refused to go
on, and the referee gave the fight to
Scott. Hot words followed, pistols
were drawn and a number of shots
were fired. The row finally was quelled
and it was found that Tom and Charley
Clancy, well-known saloon keepers,
and James Mccain, Britton's second,
had been wounded, Mccain
dangerously. The fight occurred in the

ceived wound in the thigh, and Nc
Cam was shot in the groin. A num-
Der of persons have been arrested, in
Guiding Teddy Guthrie, the referee, and
warrants are out for others.

ST. IGNACE, Mich, April 12.--The Moiles
Bros. mill plant is safe in Canada. At
ter the Mary left Detour for this port
on Wednesday the whole force connect
ed with the Canada-bound expedition
was put to work saving ice, to release
the fleeing craft and their plumber, the
Moiles' knowing that the Mary would
report their condition and an attempt
be made to capture them in American
waters. The pursuing tug Saugatuck,
with the officers and men which went
from here yesterday, returned at 3
o'clock this morning. By the time the
pursuers had overtaken the fugitives,
last night, the latter had sawed
their way through the ice into Cana
dian waters and there de6ed the pur-
suers. Seeing the helplessness of the
situation the Saugatuck turned back.
The two Observation-Disclosures
barges and the tugs are now behind an
island in safe position, and will re-
main there until the ice goes out, SO
they can proceed to their destination.

Boston Freight Depot Burned.

The freight-houses of the Boston &
Lowell Division of the Boston & Maine
Railroad were destroyed on the 9th,
only a portion of the walls re-
naming. The structures consisted
of a three and one-half story brick
building, $50 feet long by so wide,
and another of the same length, two
and one-half stories high on Lowell
Street. the two being connected by a
wooden building $50 feet long. Be-
tween the two main buildings we're five
tracks and the whole was covered by
one large roof. The fire was discovered
about o'clock among some cotton.
The buildings were filed with an al
most indescrlbable variety of general
merchandise, including large quantity
of oil, vitriol, ETC., and the frequent ex-
plosions served alike to intimidate the
fremen and cause the rapid spread of the
flames. Standing on the tracks within
the structure were from thirty to forty
freight cars, many of them loaded. and
all were destroyed. A portion Of the
larger building was used as a grain ele-
vator and here were stored from 10000
to 10000 bushels of grain, besides a
large quantity of flour. Part of the
books Of the company were destroyed.
Many were saved, while a large quanti-
ty of waybills and other papers were
saved in damaged condition. The
loss will at least aggregate $1,000 with
considerable insurance.

ment is still very intense, and the
agents are losing hope.

days later than the Danmark and is due
here tonight, will probably bring some
intelligence of the disaster.
