ClatsOp Mill Proposition Not
Yet Dead.
COMMITTEE SURE OF SUCCESS
Property Owners in That Commune
ity Need Only Stand Together
Few Should Not Do 1t All.

The Portland Evening Telegram Of the
20th quotes an article from the Astoria
News in which it is stated that Astoria
will have a railroad but no depot An
AAtorian representative called upon Judge
Bow.by, who has in charge the matter OF
securing the depot site near the Clatsop
Mill, and that gentleman stated nest en-
phatcally that the question was not
dead-on the contrary, ne says that the
prospects are quite favorable at the pres.
ent time that a compromise VIII be reach
ed The only principal owners of 'front.'
age with whom arrangements have not
been made are the Kinneys, who are
awaiting the result Of certain propositions
pending for exchanges with fair prospects
Of success.
The citizens in that community are be-
ginning to realize that It Is not fair to
impose the entire burden OF furnishing
the site upon a few water front owners,
particularly as many Of them own little
other city property. The entire communi-
ty is interested in the question, and Il is
folly to say ais some have, that contg-
uous property, even TO that back on the
hills, would not be benefited by securing
the depot on the proposed Site Free To-
cations have been offered at both Smith
Point and Tongue Point, and elhou.d the
depot be located at either of these ex-
tremitles of the city. all property alike
In the central portion Of the city would
be damaged and certainly the inside prop
erty would be worth more II the Clatsop
Mill site Is secured. To that extent the
committee as well as nlaIiy business men
and merchants have expressed their opin-
Ion that other property owners, particu-
larly those in that immediate community,
should come forward and assist those
frontage owners who cannot see their way
clear to make free donations as some
Others have done. That this viii event
ually be, done, and that harmony, good
VIII and patriotism will prevail cannot
be doubted for a moment.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-Two expert
counterfeiters who, for two years past,
have been engraving and printing $500
and 500 United States gold certificates
and flooding Canada with notes of
smaller denominations, have been dis
covered by secret service detectives
and four of the gang of five
are now locked in Jersey City.
The fifth member, the hacker, was
arrested but escaped. Brockway,
the most expert forger and counter
feiter in this country, is probably the
principal. The man who supplied the
funds for the plant was aDr. o. E.
Bradford, who heretofore has managed
to escape suspicion. Libbie Smith, a
cousin of Bradford; Sidney Smith, the
engraver of the party, who is said to
be Libbie's husband, and William
S. Wagner are the others. The plates
and paper captured by the de-
tectives show this to be the most skill
ful gang that has operated in this
country for years. Besides valuable
plates for both United States and Can
adam notes, 5000, 900 in Canadian cur
rency, with the reverse side all printed,
was discovered. A sufficient amount
of fiber paper to print $500, 900 more of
Canadian money was also located.

While DR.. Talmage was absent on a

to his wife's bedside. He at once can.
celed all his engagements and fastened

hope for the patients recovery.
Deceased was the second wife of DIR.
Talmage. His first wife was drowned
while boating in 1862, leaving him a

SPRING VALLEY, Ill, Aug. THE
situation is very quiet in the city. The
negroes are making no efforts to come
back. The reports out that armed
negroes were coming from Peoria and
Chicago to avenge Sundays affair
caused no unusual excitement here.

apprehend any danger in that direc-

sorrow over the event of Sunday and
invite fair and impartial investiga-

they could, but they are severe

Object to TaIesman Brown.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IA strong
protest will probably be made by both
sides against Walter Brown, one of the
accepted jurors in the case of Theo'
dore Durrant, owing to his jury
record. In the first trial of Nj.
d. Howell, charged with counter
feiting. it is said that Brown hung
the jury, and that his action in that
case has been the subject of inquiry by
the federal grand jury. No additional
jurors were secured yesterday to try
Durrant. The report of an attempt to
assault Durrant had the effect of in
creasing the number who wanted en-
trance to the Jail.
