ARREsrED.-Mr @ w Rogers was ar
rested last week on complaint OF G q
Stahl charging him with the crime Of
taking away female under the age Of
sixteen years from her father with
out his consent for the purpose
of marriage. Mr. Rogers waived examl-
nation and gave $500 bonds to await the
action OF the grand jury. The facts. as
We learn them, are that Mr. Rogers,
who IL employed at common labor by
u Bryant, has been paying attention TO
I.eatha, daughter Of Mr. stahl, for some
time. Some days ago he asked permis-
sion OF Mr. Stahl 10 marry his daughter,
but was refused. Taking witness he
went TO the county clerk and obtained q
license TO marry, the witness making
affidavit that Leatha was over eighteen
years OF age. But II appears she Is not.
Both parties are said 10 be respectable
people. Mr. Rogers Is said to be very
industrious, hard working young man.
The general impression is that all parties
would be gamers to drop the prosecu.
tion.
AsroRiA orr.-The orrgonlan says:
There are several points In the Willamette
valley hoping TO be the starting place OF a
railroad, the other terminus OF which shall
be At Astoria. Salem and Albany arc the
principal rivals In tnis hope, and many
Arguments In favor OF both places have
been advanced. The railroad that would
benefit Astoria the most would be q direct
line from Portland. and that this has not
been built long age IL because capitalists
who have money TO invest have seen plain
ly that such a line would be for long
time, at least, Improbable" A great ad-
vantage in connecting at Albany over
Portland or other points, would be the
superior rates from this city to other
points, az shown by the recent statement
published by the Oregonian. and better
stili Its connection with 4 road destined 10
be the beat transeon.inen;al line in eIis-
tence.
On HIS WAY TO THE PKS.-A d Web
ster, formerly Of this city, passed through
Albany on Tuesday for Salem, where,
according 10 the sentence Of Judge Pipes,
he will spend ten years in the state PEN
itentiary, AZ a punishment for the muir
der OF Robert Fales. though Webster
declared TO an Albany man, who con-
versed with him on the train, that the
grand jury and circuit Judge had agreed
TO sign a petition for his release In
year, which Is very doubtful. Webster
said he was not sorry for killing Fales,
asserting that he only acted In self-de-
fense, which seems 10 be Different view
Of the matter from that taken by the
Jury. The affair all arose from Fales
demanding tt7 for working seventeen
days In Webster's hotel, whereas the
latter claimed only 81 was due him.
