A SCHOOL BooK SENSATION.
Libelous Charges Made Against Vir-
ginia State Officers.

RlIld SLhJe OuucST9.
Richmond, Va, Dec 24.-The Norfolk
Pilot of Sunday printed a long statement
about the American Book Company and
heVirginia state board of education, in
which it charged a corrupt deal between
the book company and state board by
which the books of the company were put
on the state list. 1t is charged by infer
ence that the superintendent of public in
struction, Hon. John e. Massey, was
bribed and that Gov. O'Ferrall and Attor-
ney General Scott, the other members of
the board, were guilty at least of gross
Negligence.
Mr. Massey and Attorney General Scott
are not in the city, but Gov. OFerrall is
very indignant at the charge against him
self He says that he will proceed against
the Pilot for libel and viii appoint COM
mlttee to Investigate the charges, all of
which are maliciously false he says. so far
las they relate to himself. In concluding
his statement he saws that the publication
n the Pilot is libelous and he calls the
attention of the press to that fact.
W. J. Womaek the agent Of the Ameri-
can Book Company, who is charged in
the attack with bribing Mr. Massey. de-
clares that all the charges, so far as they
relate not only to Mr.. Massey or any
other member of the board. Jointly and
severally, are false. He says he never
offered a bride and courts the fullest in
vestigatOn.

PORTER AsHE UNDER A CLOUD
He Is Accused of Robbing Mrs. Sarah
Althea Terry.

Altnea Terry.
San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 2i-Thomas II.
Williams. Jr., ex- president of the Cali
fornia Jockey Club, has accused Porter
Ashe, the well known horseman of dehb-
erately robbing Mrs. Sarah Althea Terry
Che claimant in the celebrated sharon
will case. and who is now in an insane
asylum,) while acting as her guardian
Williams says Ashe squandered two mems
fortunes and he intends to eriminally
prosecute him. The allegations have
caused great sensation.
st. Louis, Mo, Dec PAR. Porter Ashe
who is in the city with his racing stable
to-day read the charges made against him
by T. II. Williams, concerning Ashes
guardianship of Sarah Althea Terry. He
emphatically denied the charges of theft
and mismanagement, alleging that her es-
tate amounted to nothing, and that he
was compelled to go into his own pocket
to support her properly at the insane asy-
lum. According to Mr.. Ashe, both Sarah
Althea and her husband went bankrupt
fighting Senator Sharon aud his heirs
When Judge Terry was killed his estate
was found to be vameless, so Mr.. Ashe
says, and his wife had nothing but her
personal effects and a mortgaged house
at Fresno, Cal. when she was placed un-
der his care. williams is either making
this a personal fight on me-" said Mr.
Ashe, 'or some people i'm Fresno are using
him as a tool to get possession of Mrs
Terrys private papers. She has some
documents in connection with the Sharon
suit that have never been made public
and if they are certain prominent people
on the coast will be badly smirched. They
have caused Williams action in having
me deposed as guardian Of Mrs Terry,
and when it comes to an accounting l will
show what ridiculous fools my enemies
have been making Ofathemselyes.' fe

.
A party Of Nehalem people, one OF
whom had an exciting experience at
Arch Cape, arrived at Seaside yester-
day. The party included ]. b. Pace
Ben. Higginbotham. Mr.. zimmerman
and three others, and made the trip on
foot, with the exception of the ilrst-
named, who was on horseback and TOOK
charge of the baggage. The latter IN
cluded a valise, containing money anu
other valusbles, and number OF water
proof coats, etc. When near Arch cape
Mr. Pace, who was in the rear, was IN
formed by Mr.. Clutrie that he couiu
ride through the arch, and thus lessen
the distance he had to travel. This ne
decided to do but he had not proceeded
far beneath the overhanging rocks when
his horse got into deep water and threw
the rider over his head. The amman
swan in one direction toward rock
which was surrounded by water ana
effected landing, while Pace made the
pest OF ms way toward the Deach' ne
spent some time peltlng the horse with
rocks in the hope of getting the animal
to swim back, but without avail, and
seeing their baggage, including the va
lise containing the money, being tossed
about by the waves, Pace concluded to
seek assistance. He borrowed a fishing
pole some distance from the scene and
recovered the property but found that
the horse had faced the waters and
made off down the beach. After a long
chase the animal was captured, and
when Pace reached Seaside he was in a
woful plight, being almost chilled
through and with his clothes buttonless
and badly torn.

A SMART VESSEL
Interesting Facts in the History of the
Tam O'Shanter.


The barkentine Tam OShanter is still
n the river near Parker's dock, but will
start up for Vancouver as soon as tug
rrives. Capt. Patterson has been un-
able to secure definite information as to
the depth of the water at Vancouver,
authorities here differing in their state
ments. The Tam O'Shanter draws IS
feet when loaded, and in shipping circles
the assertion is made that she cannot
load at Vancouver and get away from
that port. During the entire passage
from San Francisco, which lasted ten
days, the Tam O'Shanter encountered
exceedingly rough weather. Capt Pat
terson states he was in company with
the bark Aureola the day after he start,
ed, but thinks that if the Aureola en-
ountered as unfavorahle weather as
did his vessel, 1t will be three or four
days yet before she arrives at this port
The Tam O'Shanter Is one of the
smartest vessels that ever was built on
his coast, and has been slngularly for.
tunate in all of her trips. She is now
8 years old, but Capt. Patterson be-
lieves that today she is far superior in
every respect to many of the more mod.
9rn vessels. All Of her trips have aver
ged up well, and on one occasion, dur
ing the days the old steamer Ajay
was running on this coast, the Tan
O'Shsnter gave the steamer good race
having left San Francisco within an
hour Of the same time, and made the
dock here as soon as the Ajax.
On four occasions Capt. Patterson has
cast anchor opposite this city three
days after leaving San Francisco, and
was never detained a single day outside
the Columbia river bar m fifteen years
This not alone speaks well for the bar
but is record that any shipmaster may
well be proud of. The cargo to be taken
from Vancouver will consist entirely Of
piles.
