days ago. During life he was supposed
to be deaf and dumb. lilo was also
humpbaoked. Aftcr his death the viii
layers found that Iun's deiormity was
padded sack, inside Of which were
found bottles containing various kinds
Of liquors, and In his pocket was found
slO7, mostly Ia dimes aud nickles.
This old man has been walking bar
room and the mystery Of how he sup
ported himself IN solved. The town Ia
no license place and the cold water
drinkers have battered themsel YES that
here, Mt least, no drinking was done.
On the 2Ith uay OF August, 1880, the
most memorable incident during the
seige Of Limerick occurred. William

Waterford thlrty.slx guns and six NOR
tar. He made qnitc breach In the
walls, aud then threw his best Pus-
sian and Danish soldiers Into 1t. These
were met principally by women. On
this occasion the women placed rocks
IA their stockings and actually faced
the cold steel OF the soldiers. The
Prussians and Danes lost thlity officers,
500 men, and LEFT 1900 wounded. The
loss ON tho Irish side 400. William

AN UNFORTUNATE YOUNGMAN-.-
:. G. Ruble, Of the Eola hills was
examined by Drs. Cusick and Row
land, at the court house this after
noon as to his sanity, which resulted
in his being committed to the home
for the unfOrtunates. This case
seems to carry with it sad history.
The yousg man was born and raised
in Polk county, few miles west Of
this city. For the past few years he
has spent most Of his time in jose
phlne county. He was married
there a few months ago, and came
home on a visit, bringing his young
wife with him. They also went to
the coast by way Of team, and from
the exposure he was taken with a
severe cold, with which he was laid
up with fever. From this he never
rallied with his former reason. He
has suffered intense mental agony.
He imagines he is about to be hurled
into eternal punishment. When he
is in one of these mental halluciDa-
tions, his shrieks and petitions are
heart rending in the extreme. He
is only twenty-six years old, anc
has been Of steady habits.

The Oregon Pacific is Worrying The
New Steamboat AssOcia
ti0n.

Evening Telegram, Jan. 2lst, 81:
The recently y-organized Columbia
River Steamboat Association is get.
ting upon its feet in pretty good
shape, but thorn is growing in its
flank in the refusal Of the Oregon
Pacific Railroad Company to enter
the compact. One of the members
Of the organization made that known
to n Telegram reporter and in reply
tothe question Of numerical strength,
said the association controls about
fifty steamboats, and barges.
"Will the association cause an adj
vance in passenger and freight
rates." the reporter asked.
"Yes, it will, most assuredly," "
was the response.
ABOUT what figures will the ad-
vance assume" was the next query.
"Not over 20 per cent. | think
that will be about the conclusion.
In raising rates we will make more
money, and consequently interest
in ste'm.hoatiDg will be revived.
That means t1tt more and better
STEAMBOATS, will be constructed, aad
the service will be so strengthened
as to accommodate the public more
generously than ever before"
Some people think, SAID the Ie-
porter, that this steamboat associa-
tion amounts to nearly, or quite, the
same thing as a trust Are you
not Of the same opinion?
well, replied the steamboat
man, "when the matter is looked at
from the public point of view,
guess some people are about correct
in their ideas.u

his extravagance he was relieved

amount. The bank then yet In TO

stand made comfortable for women and

would be immense; believe three or
four meetings year would pay.
John r. Hutton, property man
Whenever any amateur companies play
on professional stages the scenery men
don't seem to try as hard to set the
stage well as during professional engage
ments. That's where they make a mis-
take, for the local amateur companies
naturally attract more attention to a
theater and its stage than travelling
combinations. A stage carpenter can
make big reputation by remembering
this, as many eastern people can testify.

concerts given by our brass band have
grown to be very popular. There were
5000 people at Westlake park last Sun

NOT A PIRATE.
JUDGE HUTTON'S ARGUMENT IN
THE ITATA CASE.
Weak Casa of the Government-The
Proceedings Yesterday.

Argument in the case OF the United
States against Messrs. Burt and Trum.
bull, on an alleged violation of the neu-
trality laws, was resumed before Judge
Ross in the United States district court
yesterday morning. Judge Hutton
opened the days proceedings and cited
authorities which he claimed contro-
verted the argument made by Mr.. White
on Monday.
That the points and authorities cited
by Mr.. White had made great impress
sion on the mind of the court, was shown
by the numerous questions raised upon
them which Judge Ross asked Judge
Hutton during the latter's argument
this morning.
Judge Hutton started out by express.
ing surprise that Mr.. White should have
suggested that the men at bar were
pirates. He was sure the insurgents oi
Chile, or the Itata people, were not
pirates, because pirate is one who sails
the seas to prey Unfortunately upon
the property of all mankind; he is an
enemy of the human race; the Itata
cruised only against the Balmaceda gov
ernment of Chile, and was an enemy
solely of that government.
Mr.. White had told the court that if
the Itata was not belligerent vessel she
must be a pirate vessel-couldn't be
anything else. This is not so. Interna-
tional law recognizes three statuses
which a foreign people may hold. They
may be sovereign states, belligerents or
insurgents. Belligerents are people in
armed resistance against sovereign
power, capable OF keeping the field
against the sovereign power. To recog-
nize them as belligerents gives them a
certain status, makes their acts lawful
80 long as they keep within the rules of
war as prescribed by international law.
With belligerent rights, they have a
right to stop and search neutral vessels
for contraband of war. and to seize it if
found. If not belligerent they have no
such right, and the government of the
vessel disturbed would interfere if such
were done. Belligerency is not conceded
unless the sovereign against whom the
people are contending have at first rec
ognized such people as belligerents. This
is the case unless the naval and CONNER
cial operations of the revolving people
