About the Same as q Joint Lease,

New YORK. Feb. 2l.-The Northern
Pacific board of directors, at their
regular meeting to-day, approved
what is called the "arbitration con-
tract" which is the agreement be-
tween the Union Pacific and the
Northern Pacific companies to place
the control of all the competitive
lines in eastern Washington territory
and Oregon in the hands Of five man
ayers, to be appointed by the parties
to the agreement.
This will secure the advantages to
both companies that would have re-
suited from a joint lease Of the o. K.
& n. Co.'S lines, and, at the same
time, avoids the responsibility of
guaranteeing dividends on that stock.
The only condition connected with
the contract is the control OF the o.
K. & N. Co.'S lines, and this will prob
ably be obtained through the sale Of
the o. Z. & n. stock, now held by the
Oregon & Transcontinental company,
to the syndicate.
AS the Oregon and Transcontinent-
al owns the majority of the o. r. & n.
stock and as from out of the six men,
bers of the o. r. & n. executive COM
mittee four represent the Oregon Pa
cifc and the other two the Union Pa
cific, and rs they are all in favor of
this contract no difficulty is expected.
A meeting Of the Oregon & Trans
continental committee will be held
next week to consider the means to
carry ont the plan.

On the city Of Carlisle, arrived
from Liverpool yesterdays is remark
able instance of recovery under most
adverse circumstances. When out
about two months, a block fell from
aloft one day, striking en-. apprentice
boy aged abo1t fifteen, on the head,
fracturing II his skull, and caving it
i'll for distance of four inches, por-
tions of the brain running out: the
boy got such rude assistance as the
ship afforded, the first mate stitched
the edges of the scalp together over
the wound, and the boy lay in his
bunk during a spell of bad weather
almost forgotten. On shore, with the
best OF care under the circumstances,
he would be considered to have poor
show for his life, but in his dim and
dirty bunk in the forecastle, for four
days smelling so badly that mo one
approached him, he pulled through
somehow, and yesterday afternoon
was caperinG about the deck as lively
as any of 'em.

There was a circus in the legisla-
ture last Thursday. In a Republican
caucus three members OF the railway
commission had been selected, two
Republicans and one Democrat.
When it came to a vote the Demo
cratic members objected to the Dem
ocrat that the Republican caucus had
selected. In the meantime Gov. Pen
noyer had appointed two others to
serve for the ensuing ninety days.
His excellency holds that, in the new
law, there is clause which reads
this act shall take effect and be in
force from and after its approval by
the governor" and since he did not
approve the bill, the law will not go
into effect for ninety days, and the
legislature had no right to elect COM
missioners, and until this law goes
into effect, the old law is in force. He
SAYS that at the end Of ninety days be
will appoint two Democrats and one
prohi5itiouist,. and that the Republi-
cans will be>iln the coup so far as the
railroad commissioners are concerned.
As a matter OF fact the state derives
no more benefit from the costly com
mission than horse would from q
big bass drum. 81.

dred applicants for positions in the

nary sight. 1t seems that the moment
the explosion took place an immense
shoal Of herring was passing over the
place, and thousands of them were
thrown high in the air by the force Of
the explosion. For several minutes
afterward the water was of a silver
color from the immense number Of
fsh which hoated on the water to the
depth of foot or more, stunned or
killed by the shock. The water was
lashed to a foam by their constant
jumping from the water. and as they
fell back they made a noise resembling
a hail storm. The dredRer which was
about 200 feet from the explosion was
literally covered with scales blown
from the fish. Those who witnessed
the sight say the like was never seen
before.

How Men Die.

If we know all tho methods OF ap.
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
Of the body suffices to enabla it to op-
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent. that there is little
or no help. In other cases little
aid to tho weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years Of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of a Cough,
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or
Luugs, give that old and wellknown
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, q
carful trial. 1t will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "bene-
actor Of any home"

Thursday. A hole was bored in the

in, and the premises set on fire, bat,

covered the flames, and extinguished
them before much damage was done.
1t is supposed that some we'll known,

hanging around there lately, aud to
whom Austin refused whisky, are the
perpetrators Of the dastardly deed.
