IT Is WITHOUT A RAILROAD.
Astoria is the Largest City in This Countr,
Without Railroad.

Without Railroad.
1t has frequently been stated. says the
Portland Oregonidn, that this is the largest
city in the United States without railroad
connection. and taking into consideration
the fact that it is located upon one of the
best harbors in the country, this is the
greatest phenomenon of the age.
There can be but one reason for this. and
that lies in the fact that the great magnates
of this country are in total ignorance of the
resources and advantages enjoyed by Astoria,
and when they are once enlightened, they
will not be slow to avail themselves of SO
favorable an opportunity of developing
country that cannot but enrich them.

the accounts. Greatly to the comptrollef's

Gen. Fremont being a debtor to the United
States, the government had actually owed
him for ovs forty years 2 1000. Il Was
proven beyond . doubt that through .

had been charged with $40, 100 for. which Q

Regret thoO Death of Senator Beck.
Mr.. Gibbs, ex-governor of the Bank Of
England and president Of the Bimstallic
league, has cabled the following to Senator
Jones in the name Of the Bimetallic league:
The friends of silver deeply regret the
death of Senator Beck, whose services in
the cause Of monetary reform are most
warmly appreciated on this side Of the
Atlantic. The bimetallist party in the
United Kingdom. now including over 100
members Of the house Of commons, attach
the greatest value to the debate about to
commence in your illustrious chamber.
We fully recognize. not only that the sup
port afforded silver by your legisla-
ton during the past twelve years has
helped to protect the industrial world from
an acute monetary crisis, but also that the
debates in congress have served more than
all else to educate our people to the recoe-
milton Of the important issues involved.
We believe also that the increased coinage
of silver contemplated by congress will
restore wholly or considerably your coin
age rates, and thus make an international
settlement OF this compiler question COM
parat,vely easy. We anticipate, further,
with much confidence, that the advance In
the price Of silver which must follow your
action will both stimulate the export trades
Of your country, and, while tending to the
!. prosperity Of your agricultural classes, will
also assist the manufacturing industries Of
the United Kingdom and the whole body
OF our wage esrnere.

DEED OF A CRAZY MOTHER.

She Strangles Her Child and Then Gives
Herself Fatal Wounds.
Mrs. 7. A. Bresler, who lives with her
husband five miles from fresno, CAL, sent
her two girls, aged II and 9 years, to bed.
and shortly thereafter entered the room
and Selling the older girl by the throat,
proceeded to strangle her to death. The
younger child ran from the room, pursued
by the mother, who was still clinging to
the other child. TIE mother followed 900
yards and dropped the older child, who
was then dead, and after pursuing the
other some distance gave up the chase and
returned home. The little girl soon or
rived at o neighbours and gave the alarm.
Meanwhile the husband came home and,
finding nc one in the house, gave several
calls and was finally answered by his wife.
Going to the back of the house he found
her in a pool of blood. He carried her into
the house aud found the front part Of her
head was literally cut to pieces. She was
perfectly conscious and said she inflicted
the wounds ON herself, but gave no reason
for doing 30. The woman was insane.

Measures Pending.

The many prominent measures pending
in both houses Of congress, and upon
which the friends of all are fighting for
hight of way, has caused some bad blood
between party leaders, which will perhaps
last for q few weeks, providing their meas.
ures get through. Chairmen Of commit.
tees are ANXIOUS to get the large bills
they have under consideration first before
the house or senate, as the case
may be. Then all members with
private bills want them considered, but
have to stand aside now until the
national measures are u of the way.
In the house the silver bill, river and
harbor bill and tariff bill had the first OF a
hard struggle for the supremacy, and the
tariff bill one. In the senate the admis-
SION of Idaho and Wyoming and the silver
bills are crowding each other for place.
while other bills Of less importance are
being pushed. The death of Senator Beck
disarranged the senate program, and it is
more than likely that several bills will now
have a tussel for supremacy. The tariff
bill is now or in the house. No program
has been prepared for the house except
that the river and harbor men will make a
fight to take up their bill as soon as the
tariff bill is out Of the way, and there 10 a
general understanding that this will
be done, unless something transpires in
the matter Of silver that renders transac.
ton desirable,

THE CROPS.

Bed Condition Of Wheat In Michigan.
The state department has issued the
regular monthly crop report for May. Il
shows that the area seeded to wheat last
fall, 10 per cent. in the southern, 10 per
ceat. in the central, and 1 per cent. in the
northern counties, will be plowed up be-
cause of winter killing. The condition Of
wheat was but little improved, during
April, and is II per cent. below that Of
one year ago. The poorest wheat 10 in
the twelve central counties lying east Of
Kent aud Aleean. On the whole, wheat is
in q bad condition, and correspondents
report that q still larger area will DO
plowed up.
illinois, Wheat Crop In bad shape.
Reports received by the state department
of agriculture from most Of the important
wheat growing counties in the state show
that the area of winter wheat destroyed
will reach SO per cent. Of that seeded last
fall, and the condition Of that left standing
for harvest is not encouraging for more
than IS per cent. of the average yield.
Taking the state over the condition Of the
crop is nearly S. per cent. short OF the av.
erage on May 1.

The Introduction of evidence in the case
Of John Sage, charged with the murder
of Harry Cunningham, has commenced at
Marion, Ind. The sensation of the day
was the testimony OF Eliza Sage, the
divorced wife of the accused. who is now
undergoing life imprisonment for the
crime for which Sage is on trial. Mrs.
Sage's recital was highly dramatic and
pathetic. She testified that she first
met the prisoner in August 1881;
that soon after he commenced paying
regular and devoted attention to her
and offered to marry her if her 2.year-old
boy could be disposed of. She agreed to
bind the child out or to have some one
adopt it, but to this Sage objected, saying
that any one who took it would tire Of it
and send it back. Sage continued to i'm.
perfume her to make way with the child,
and finally. on Sunday, June IS, 1882, she
took the child in her arms. carried it y mile
across the field, threw it into a creek, GOV.
cred her face with her hands and ran away.
She and Sage were married the following
evening and were arrested on the following
Thursday. The witness was sharply cross
examined, but without impairihg the face
of her testimony through the trying ordeal.
