THE SHooTERs.-Friday and Sat
urday next will be the dates for
the tournament for the shooters of
this part of Oregon. The business
men have been called on to offer
prizes and otherwise contribute to
make the tournament success
The boys will probably call on the
bankers and others, who have not
been solicited, to aid in entertaining
the clubs from abroad who come to
take part in the contest. They
think some lnducement should be
offered to have as many clubs come
as possible, and thus have a large
crowd in Salem on those days.

CHATTAEooGA, August 1.-THE title
to over 1900 acres of land held by the
North Chattanooga Land Company is
called in question by parties in Arkan-
sas, who claim 1t through one John Car
not. The land in question lies along
the Tennessee River, west of the Gin
cinnati Southern Railrosd, and Is esti,
mated to be worth $500, 900. The claim
ants allege that the property was
transferred by power Of attorney from
a married woman, which is not lawful,
and although the present hcllers have
had forty years of adverse possession,
that it will not operate against their
title, because their mother was under
age when she married, and she is now
dsad, but none of the children are yet
u years Of age. The claim sets forth
that the adverse possession by the pres
ent holders cannot operate against minor
Children, and that the seven years nec-
essary to protect their title have net
elapsed since the heirs have attained
their majority.

A SAD ENDING.


A Happy Excursion Party, ON its Way
Homeward. 0vertaken by Storm and
Fourteen Persons Killed by the Collapse
OF the Awning OF the Barge Upon which
Nearly Six Hundred People were Con-
gregated.
HUNTINGTON. L. L., Aug. 13-The
employees of Theodore Hayser. dry
goods merchant. gave an excursion to
Warpe's grove, Cold Spring harbor, by
the excursion steamer Crystal Spring
and the barge Republic. The party,
which numbered nearly 600 souls, had a
very pleasant days enjoyment and at 8
o'clock they embarked on the vessels
for the journey home.
just as they were leaving the dock
cyclone swept over the harbor and
struck the barge. The awning of the
upper deck was wrenched from its fas-
Jennings, lifted high in the air and fell
with a terrific crash and destructive
force upon the crowded deck.
a scene of wild confusion and panic
cnsued which beggars description. The
screams of the women and children, of
which the excursion was mainly COM
posed; the hoarse shouts of the mez
and the groans of the wounded and dy-
ing could be plainly heard above .tlr
rum bling of the thunder
Inky, black clouds had made it al
most as dark as night, and at every
lightning flash those on board the
steamer saw a great mass of persons
struggling to extricate themselves from
beneath the wreck and ruin of the
awning.
The boats were hastily tied up to the
dock again and those on the steamer,
aided by the villagers who had hurried
to the scene, began the work of rescu-
ing those on board the barge. The
debris was soon cleared away and the
bodies of the dead and injured were
taken from the barge and put on board
the steamer, where the wounded re-
cieyed. every attention.
Fourteen persons were found to have
perished by the storm which had sprung
up with such frightful suddenness,
changing a scene of gayety to one of
lafnentation and mourning.
The coroner Immediately summoned
jury, and after an examination per-
Tnitted the removal of the bodies. The
jury in its verdict strongly censured
the owner of the excursion barge for
carelessness, as the vessel was found
to be as rotten as punk and totally un-
seaworthy.
The bodies of the dead were sent to
their late homes in Brooklyn last night
Among the killed are the following:
Robert Shuler, pilot of the steamer
Mrs. Laigerfnck, aged 10 years, Of

THREE CONTINGENCIES,

Under which, or Either OF Them, President
Harrison will Refuse to Allow His Name
to be Presented to the Republican Ma
tiOnaI Convention for denomination.
CHICAGO. Aug. 16.-A special to the
Herald from Cape May, N. J., says:
President Harrison will, before the
meeting of the republican national
convention of 1892, declare over his own
signature in the most emphatic maner
that he is not a candidate for the NOM
ination to be made by that convention.
The president decided upon this course
within the last two weeks. This is
supposed to be the cause of his
calling hither Clarlson of the
national committee and Stephen B.
Ellxins, to tell them that they might
inform those republicans who are TAX
ing sides either for or against the re-
nomination of the president that they
are doing so unnecessarily. The deci-
sion of the president not to permit his
name to go before the convention was
made with some reservations. These
reservations depend upon three condi-
tions: First, if the present bitter
opposition within the republican
party to Mr.. Harrison's renomi-
nation shall continue till next
spring he will withdraw; sec
ond, if Mr.. Blaine shall be well and
strong enough to take the nomination
and the party's demand for him contin-
ues as strong and sincere as it appears
at the present time, Mr.. Harrison will
withdraw; third, if Mr.. Blaine having
sufficient health and strength, shall be
willing to take the nomination. Mr..
Harrison will withdraw.
The information that the president
has reached this decision is from a
source not to be questioned as to its
veracity. Mr.. Blaine knows that the
president occupies his position Mr..
Clarkson. Mr.. Ell1ins, Mr.. Quay and
Mr. Platt know il. Mr.. Quay has been
advised not to force his Blaine boom in
Pennsylvania and he has called halt

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Acting Sec
retary Nettleton has written letter to

he says: SIN referring to your letter
20 the department of state IN which
you request an official statement, that
only sugars below No. 16, Dutch STAN
dard, are free under the proclamation
of the president relating to reciprocal
trade between this country and Spain,
you are informed that the act of Octo-
Der 1, 1890, gave the president the
power and made it his duty, under GER
tain prescribed conditions. to suspend
by proclamation those provisions of the
act which relate to the free introduc-
ton of sugar and other articles. AS
sugars above No. 16, Dutch standard,
are not included within the free pro-
visions of the act, but are dutiable un-
der paragraph 237, they are not re-
ferred to in the proclamation of the
president"
