price OF Sugar RAISED i.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. CLAUS Spreck-
els to day raised the price of granulated
sugar to the old figure, 1-6 cents, after
having the market all his own way for
two days and unloading, as the brokers
think, about $4,000 barrels of his sur
plus stock. The activity induced by the
cut showed perceptible falling off when
the price was raised, but the market was
strong, and at one time it was predicted
that sugar might go up to AZ cents
The advance to the old figure has effectu-
ally silenced all rumors of combination
with the New York trust, and it is now
accepted that the cut was made solely ON
account of the overproductIon.

a Bait For Gudgeons.

The Portland Weekly World, of this
week. has an extensive write up of The
Dalles, including number OF fairly good
illustrations. Among the latter is what
purports to represent tho North Dalles
shoe factory (which is located, In all its
loneliness, on the other side of the river
and has no connection whatever with The
Dalles, Oregon. Another page of the same
paper is devoted to gorgeous advertise
ment of what is called Grand Dalles, the
new name given to North Dalles townsite.
1t fairly takes ones breath away to read it
and see what has been overlooked SO long,
but if intending investors take the trouble
to give the place a personal examination be-
fore putting up their coin it might be some
what to their advantage.

| lor made close and critical examina
ton of the route at all points and wa
we'll satisfied with what he saw.
The object of the visit of the Sherman
county delegation was to show to tht
committee the importance of the proposed
measure to the grain growers of theil
section. They want the portage to ex,
tend to deep water point beyond the
island at the mouth of Deschutes river
This accomplished, they will of their OWL
accord meet the road with another from
the interior of the county coming down
Spanish hollow.
Considerable time was spent at Des.
chutes river examining the country, the
proposed landing and terminus, and the
discussion of various phases of the ques-
ton until the arrival of the west bound
train, on which the committee returned
to Portland accompanied by MIR. Norton.
During the ride to this city good op.
portunity was given to note the condi-
tion of the grade of the G. R. r. e N.
route, on the Washington side, at places
it being buried from view by mountains
of sand, an obstruction that will always
have to be contended with on that side
and prove an enormous and lasting ex
pense in order to keep the road, if eyer
built, in operation.
Tie Portland chamber of commerce
holds its regular meeting this evening,
but it will be impossible for the commit
tee to make lis report at that time.
President Osborne says the committee
will make an extended report on the mat
ter, viewing the question on all sides,
and the same will probably be submitted
to the chamber at a special meeting so
soon as their work can be completed.

one of the denizens of WhltechaDel, an
old woman named Woolie, was selzed by
an unknown man, who cut her throat
and stabbed her repeatedly in the body.
Size cannot live. The police, as usual,
are unable to find the murderer. who has
disappeared. The woman was taken to
the hospital. and after time she recov
cred sufficiently to tell of the attack
made upon her. She is German, and
unlike the other women murdered and
mutl!ated in Whitechapel, shew not in
the company of the man who attacked
her, but was passing along the street
when, without warning, the assassin
spring upon her. One man has been
taken into custody On suspicion of beng
the assassin, but the evidence against
him is very weak and no importance is
attached to his arrest.

Before Justice Schultz to-day, VIM. Jor-
dan was examined for larceny of horse.

Miss Twitchell, formerly of this city, and
the daughter of a former business partner
OF ex-Gov. Moody. is visiting Mrs. Moody
tn Salem. She came mp to The Dalles
Saturday, and took great interest in noting
the many improvements, as this city was
the place of her birth.
Rev. A. L. Lindsey, the well known
Presbyterian clergyman, formerly of Port
land, was yesterday seriously injured by
being thrown from buggy, near the home
of his sons ca Lewis rlyer. He was speed
lily brought to Portland, and at last ac-
counts was still unconscious and owing to
his advanced age he may not recover.
Father Quay, the Catholic priest of Sno.
homish. Wash, was tarred and feathered
by large mob Friday morning between IL
and l o'clock. Citizens effected an entrance
to the priests residence, dragged him from
his bed, and applied a complete covering of
tar and feathers. He was accused OF per-
suading children, of both sexes, after stu
pefying them with liquor, into committing
most revolving acts.
The death of Mrs. Philip Brogan, occur
ring last week at her residence on Little
Trout creek, was an extremely sad one, says
the Pnneville Ne,0s The unfortunate
woman died in confinement and leaves
husband and six children to mourn their ir-
reparable loss. Mrs. Brogan was lady of
excellent character, and was possessed of an
amiable and lovable disposition. The hus-
band aud motherless children have the SYM
pathy of their numerous friends in their
terrible affiiction.
The anniversary of the fiftieth birthday
of Mr.. August Buchler, which was prop
erly celebrated by Swiss residents and
friends last Saturday, was a worthy rccug-
milton OF an estImable citizen. As an
American no one IS more loyal than he, as
phllanthropist his name heads nearly
every list, and as enterprising business
man he is always known IN everything
that has for It's object the advancement OF
the best interests of The Dalles. We
heartily wish to see him celebrate many
decades of his eventful life, and would de-
sire The Dalles to have more such citizens
as Mr.. August Buchler.

The Alpine Anniversary,


Last Saturday evening Swiss residents of
The Dalles to the Eumber cf about twenty
met on the corner Of Union and Second
streets. and headed by the Third Regiment
band, marched through some of the princ;-
pal streets of the city. Each of the Swiss
in the procession wore the national cOlors
on the LETT arm, which is very neat and
beautiful, being white cross on red
band. The day being the tiftleth annIYer.
sary Of the birth of our fellow citizen, Mr..
August Buchler, and he being one OF the
leading Swiss residents in the city, they
stopped in front of the Columbia brewery
and the band serenaded him. After he
came out in response to the music he was
presented with an elegant set of harness,
Mr.. Ad. Keller, of the Orc Elmo, making
the presentation speech. The band and
persons IN the procession were then invited
in the house, and sat down to the most
bountiful IF ctiou eyer served in this city.
This was the work Of Mrs. Buchler, and
did honor to her ability rs . housewife ana
cook. Toasts were drank to the 600th an
niversary of the establishment OF the Swiss
republic, to MIR. Buchier, and to the host
ess, Mrs. Buchler. Ii ese were responded to
in good style. and every one present seemed
to thorougi.,. appreciate The Importance of
the occasion.
There being not over twenty, Swiss in the
city, the exercises were held in the parlors
of Mr. Buchler, the celebration comprising
two events-the birth Of the Alpine repub.
lie and also the rounding out of halt-
century of MIR. Buchler's life.
At half-past o'clock the Gesang Verein,
the German singing society-of which Mr..
Buchler is a member-came in body and
serenaded him with some national songs.
After partaking of repast they sang sew
eral tunes, and gaYe and responded to
toasts. The floors were then cleared and
dancing INDUCED in until an early hour.
As an occasion to be remembered the
completion of the sixth century of the in
dependence of the cantons in the Alps
mountains, is an event that loyers of free
government in every portion of the world
should view with great favor. It is becom-
ing to the American that he should view
with pride the success of the hardy mount
aineers IN the center of Europe for long
centuries in the maintenance of free insti-
tutions. Switzerland as a republic existed
two hundred years before America was dis
covered by Columbus, and in Geneva human
thought made great advances before Luther
made his determined stand at Worms or
Wickliffe enunciated his doctrines in
England.

Buncoed at the Seaside.

Long Beach, Oregon's favorite summer
resort, seems to be overrun with tin-horn
gamblers, thlmble.riggers and others of the
kind. So far they have not piled a very
lucrative trade, gudgeons being scarce. but
there is an occasional rise to the tempting
bait thrown out, and one of the latest VIC
tins is named Granier, said to hail from
The Dalles. He wanted to buy lot and
the handy confidence man sold him one he
did not own and was buncoed out of $50.
Granier found the real owner OF the prop
erty and hunting up the confidence sharp
made him return the money and compelled
him to leave the beach.

TroutIes of the FACTIONS.

LONDON, Aug. 10-The situation of the
Irish party does net seem to improve
with Dillon and O'BIien cut of prison.
O'Brlen maintains comparative seclusion,
and Dillon, who was willing at first to
be aggressive against Parnell, has, it Is
said, almost concluded not to take a
share in the struggle between the two
factions. The reported scandal in the
family of an Irish member of parliament
opposed to ParneIl will probably not
come before the public. The first wife
is said 10 have accepted the offered COM
promise, and will MAINTAIN the reticence
On the subject which she has maintained

SAN DIEGO Calf, Aug. IA Yuma
correspondent says: Areport was brought
in by Cocopah Indians that an earth
qG,ke on the 30th ultimo resulted in
changing the course OF the Colorado
river. 1t left its old bed and is now
flowing through a crevasse forty feet
wide and 1000 feet long. The report,
however, is not generally believed. An
other result of the recent earthquakes was
the renewed activity of volcanoes in the
Cocopah region. The earthquakes also
caused great tidal wave at the head
of the Gulf of California.

Shoot Alexander Brown.
Tom Homles and Alexander Brown, two
young colored men. engaged in a quarrel
last night on Congress street, near the mar

to shoot Alexander. Some colored women
who were looking at the row yelled police, y
and Officer Bossell responded.
Alexander ran down Barnard street
and into Broughton street lane,
with the policeman following closely
at his heels. The women continued
to call for police, and a negro boy who
happened to have a police whistle blew
it vigorously. This brought big crowd of
people and several policemen into Brough~
ton street, but nobody seemed to know what
the trouble was, as the negro and his
pursuer had disappeared in the lane.
Policeman Bossell captured Holmes near

COLoRED WOMEN IN A SCRAP.

A Monday Picnic at Montgomery
Winds Up in a Lively Manner.
There was big colored picnic at Mont
gomery yesterday, and it wound up in the
afternoon with a grand scrap between ten
Of the female picnickers.
Polly Lord and Laura Grant got into a
dispute abouta colored "gemmen" and left
| the dancing platform, with eight others, to
| settle the matter in field. Both are buxom
women, but Polly proved the better fighter
| of the two, and Laura knew it. The former
started TO take off her basque to go to work
In Sullivan style, and, while she was dis
robing Laura, who is a rather high kicker,
| pushed her in the face with her right foot
and sent her sprawling on her back on the
| grass, and then jumped on her and began
pounding her in lively manner.
Folly manager to throw her opponent
| over and was treating her to dose of her
own medicine, when the friends Of the
under party interfered and pulled Polly off.
The other side then stepped into the breach,
and general gouging match resulted.
AS soon as Laura got upon her feet she
pulled small penknife from her pocket
and damned it into Polly's arm and back
The wounded moman set up a yell, the
picnickers all rushed to the scene, and ex-
| citement reigned supreme for a few min
utes.
The committee, headed by James Middle
ton, arrived with the crowd and placed the
amazons under arrest. A telephone mes
sage was sent to police headquarters to
have officers meet the o'clock train to
take charge of the prisoners. Officers Clay
ton and Eivers were sent to the City aud
| Suburban depot and met the committee
with the ten women and escorted them to
the barracks. They gave their names as
| Susan Mcqueen, Lavinia Wilson, Lizzie
Berrien. Abbie West, Lizzie White, Marion
| Maxwell, Lucy Peletre and Mary Sisco.
| Together with Laura Grant and Polly Lord
they were locked up on a charge of riot.
Lizzie Berrien told the story Of the row.
She was very particular about stating that
herself and the balance of the party were
ladies" She said that the affair was
started by Laura Grant, who called Miss
| Polly Lord and her LADY" friends White
| Bluff toughs. She also wanted it under
stood that she was innocent Of all connec-
ton with the affair and felt very much dis
| graced at being arrested.
Polly's wounds are of slight nature and
caused her but little Inconvenience. The
ten ladies' will appear before Mayor Nc
| Donough this morning and will doubtless
be turned over to the city court, as the row
| occurred outside of the city limits.
