A FIRE AT LEBANoS.-At II 30 O'Clock
Mondaynight afire was.discoyered in the
rear Of T C Peebler's grocery store, prob
ably starting from a fue, as Mr. Peebler
and clerk had been using a candy stove
until about IL O'Clock. Itspread rapidly
destroying the building and contents,
the store OF S p Bach, adjoining, the
postofice, the harness shop Of J G Frey,
and the Office Of DIR Ducke.t. The build
ings were all owned by DIR J Courtney.
and were valued at $1,000, being insured
for $l70O. S Z Bach placed the value Of
his stock at $4,000 to 5000 insurance,
1890; 7 G Peebler, value OF stock, $1,000,
insurance, 5000; NJ Miller, $500, in
cluding $3.50 worth Of law books; DR.
Duckett, s75, J G Frey, $72. Total,
Sl0.0J0. Insurance, s4,70O. All Of the
letters and other mail in the postofice
were destroyed. Part Of Bach's stock
was taken out. The insurance was all
carried by foreign companies. Although
the Albany company carries considerable
insurance there, il was fortunate in hav-
ing no risks in this fire. The fire com
pany is said to have done good work. the
st Charles hotel only being saved by
hard work, also the livery stable Of
Nichols, Westfail & Co.
HUSTTSG ATTnE BAY.-They have been
having great time at the Bay hunting
deer. The country across the Bay from
Yaquina is alive with them. On Tues
day Of last week seven were seen on the
beach at one time, and Friday morning
five. One day the hounds drove one Of
them into the Bay. George Walker and
one or two companions took a boat and
tried 10 capture him; but not knowing
the trick OF taking him by the tail and
drowning him, tried 10 hit him with the
oars and ride over him, which did not
work and the deer got on the bank and
escaped. Sunday the hounds drove up
what was thought TO be deer; but on
being followed proved TO be black bear.
He was treed but escaped 10 the thick
bushes, as usual with bullet that will
probably prove fatal.
A PPoPER DIScRIMrxATION. - The
Southern Pacific Company gives Albany
q special eniigTant passenger rate from
Albany to all other points on its lines. No
other town except Portland has such a
rate. There Is no apparent reason for Al
bany being made a distributing point for
immigrants In prejudice of Salem and all
other towns. The board Of railroad com
missioners has asked an explanation from
Manager Koehler, and his reasons, II any,
for not extending the rate to all. States
man. The reason is plain. Albany Is a
railroad center. The traveller can 60 from
Albany by rail in FIVE directions, while
from Salem in only two. The discrimina-
ion is only eminently due center OF the
Importance of Albany.
INITIATING WILLIAM TELL. .-Whil. al
the Santiam miies, recently, says the
Telescope, Jas v Pipe witnessed two oi
the employees amusing themselves IN a
manner that Is calculated 10 stand the
hair on the head of one unaccustomed to
such sights, though II seemed to be almost
unDoticed by those In camp who were
used to witnessing Il. A distance of thirty
yards would b. marked off, and one Of the
workmen would stand with an oyster can
stake would shoot II through with a rife.
After performing this feat he would place
the can on his head and the performance
would be repeatedr This Is what the or
binary shootist would call reckless amuse
ment.
BASE BALL.--A game of base ball viii
be played In Albany in week or mor'
between the ] l. Mitchell club of Salem
and the Albanies. II will be the occasion
of a river excursion, and the Salem bant
will be brought along.
sSunday at Knox Butte, the club Of tina
place defeated the second nine of Jefferson

Ala Marshall were the battery tor tn,
Knox Buttes and did some effective work
The Salems defeated the Farmers
Mechanics at Portland Saturday TO an
yesterday 9 to 3.
