An Alabama dispatch says the populists
and the republicans viii form fusion for
the purposes of the next campaign. Il
that is correct. where is Col. Rube Kol0
"at?" 1t has not been a great while since
the colonel was into the papers as an op-
ponent to fusion, and advocating square,
stand-up fight on the part of the popu-
lists. The whereabouts Of Kolb, however,
is not of so much Importance as the
whereabouts of Senators Morgan and
Pugh. 1t is reported that they are stump
ing the state in the interest of Is to l free
silverism-the demand Of the populists,
with whom the republicans will fuse. The
effect of their stumping will be to Divide
the democratic party, leaving the conso;-
dated populists and republicans a splen-
did opportunity to capture the state. With
such workers as Morgan and Pugh on the
stump, the populsts have little need for
Kolb. And it may be that is the reason
his advice has apparently been ignored.
Punch recently printed a cartoon that
has furnished the text for various more
or less vitriolic comments on the part of
the press of this country. The cartoon
represents John Bull and Jonathan as
schoolboys. Master John Bull is asking
Master Jonathan. WHAT is the Monroe
doctrine?" to which Master Jonathan is
replying, "Wa-al-Guess it's that every
thing everywhere belongs to us"

The point of one of the many stories
told of Bob Ingersoll is that the famous
doubter said once that he would believe
in a state of future and eternal punish
ment when Kentucky had gone republi-
can. If he really made any SUCH promise.
he must be now existing in a state Of fear
and trembling for his hereafter.

very hard and the same condition exists
from The Dalles to Portland. A general
sleet kept up all morning between here
and Portland, which changed to snow
about noon. All trains have been an
nulled except Nos / and 2, the regular
passenger trans. The Dalles local left
Portland this morning and got as far as
Bridal Veil, where it was compelled to
stop on account of the snow. The west
bound passenger reached Portland all
right this morning. The rotary snow
plow was made ready for service, and
left Portland at l o'clock. 1t Is ex-
pected that the rotary will cut its way
through to The Dalles this evening and
that the passenger trains will be on time
today. At Grants the same amount of
snow has fallen as here. At Arlington
about two inches less. From Umatilla
east stormy weather exists, with very
cold at Baker City. The Western Union
wires are in good shape and business is
going on as usual.

Every report received from the Locks
gives the same information, that the
contractors are employing large num-
Der of men and to all appearances work
is being pushed at rapid rate. At the
same time that these reports are re-
ceived the impression accompanys them
that the locks still lack great deal of
completion and there is possibility,
and good one, that high water will
come before the canal will be open for
traffic. What the trouble is, no one
seems to know, and it may be that the
impression alluded to is wrong one.
People have become so used to discour-
agement about the completion of the
locks that they can never believe them
done till they are officially opened. 1t
is to be hoped that the original state
ments made with such confidence and
emphasis by the contractors during the
past summer will not prove to be mis-
taken in the outcome. If the locks are
not completed for the passage of boats,
the wish of the people of Eastern Oregon
will be still further delayed in its reali-
zation.

An Interesting Record.

In delving among the records at the
county court house yesterday some in
teresting bits of early history were dis
covered i'll time-worn book, in whose
pages for a long time no entries have
been made, among which were found
some marriage notices of early pioneers.
The first entry proved to have been that
of William G. Mckay and Miss Marga-
ret Campbell. The record of this mar
riage is written in clear. legible hand
and runs as follows:
TERRITORY OF OREGoN,l
County of Wasco
This is to certify that the undersigned,
a justice of the peace of said county,
1856, join in lawful wedlock William G..
Mckay and Miss M. Campbell, with
their mutual consent, in the presence of
DIR. Atkinson, DIR. Bates, R. R. Thomp-
son and many other witnesses. Oh!
what glorious time we had
@. w. SHANG, Justice of Peace.
S. r. BATES, Recorder.
Recorded at Dalles, o. T., Oct. Is,
1856.
Whether or not this was the first
marriage ceremony performed in Wasco
county we do not know, but it seems to
be the first of record. These worthy
people became among the best known
and respected of all the Northwestern
pioneers. DIR. and Mrs. Mckay lived in
Wasco county many years, and later
moved to Pendleton, where they resided
till the DOCTORS death, few years ago.
DR.. Mckay was a finely educated, genial
gentleman, who, by his winning man.
ners and noble character, attracted
notice and friendships wherever he
went. His widow is still a much re-
spected resident of Pendleton. There is
nothing in the record to show where the
ceremony was performed. and pioneer,
to whom the record was shown, said
that he thought the marriage took place
at the Cascades.
Turning over few pages, another
record of marriage ceremony was dis
covered, Which does not possess the in
terest of the preceding enc. It is given,
however, to show the conditions pre-
vailing at that time. The date of this
ceremony is several years later than the
first one mentioned, and was made after
Oregon had become state.

ton, with their mutual consent, in the
presence of w. w, Monro and Henry

These records are well preserved, and
will, along with others found in tho
comfy archives. be of value to the com
ing historian.

singing will be arranged for the services
and the occasion made pleasant and
profitable.
Mr.. Tyler, of the Western Union,
says all messages can be delivered at all
points, and the wires are in good work
ing condition. The Western Union put
in new poles last summer, and have
made preparations for just such wea-
ther as we are having today.
On Saturday, Dec. 21st, Mrs. M. M.
Henry will open, at Mrs. Phillips, on
Washington street, stock of ladies'
cloaks, jackets, capes and suit patters.
These goods will be sold at prices that
will enable all to purchase stylish
English walking coats, fur trimmed and
silk lined. If you wish to make an ac-
ceptable and sensible Christmas pres
ent, call and examine these goods.

Those who have been prophesying
that we would have hard and early
winter are right as to part of the prog
nostlcation. This morning shows that
winter is upon us with a vengeance.
Snow continued falling with more or less
regularity all day yesterday and at night
fall the weather authorities ordered out
regular storm. The fakes continued
falling all night, and according to the
volunteer observers gauge this morning,
nine and one-half inches had fallen.
Snow shovels are in demand, and there
is plenty of work for idle hands to do,
through the snow.
The Masonic chapter held a regular
meeting last night, at which officers
were chosen for the ensuing term.
Every incumbent was reelected, SO that
the officers of the chapter are High
Priest, Charles Hilton; King, r. F.
Gibbons; Scribe, Andrew Larsen; Capt.
of the Host, G.. G. Blakely; Principal
Sojourner, W. S. Myers; Royal Arch
Captain, John Marden; Grand Master
Sd Veil, Emil Schanno; Grand Master
I'd Veil, Hugh Logan; Grand Master 1st
Veil, E. @. Phirman; Treasurer, G. A.
Liebe; Secretary, F. A. Abernethy !;
Sentinel, R. G. Closter. The installa-
tion of officers will be held two weeks
from last night, but it is not expected to
! be public.
Mention was made in THE CHRONICLE
few days ago OF call being extended
by the Episcopal church of this city to
Rev. Mr.. Mercer of Quincy, Illinois. At
the time the call was made it was ex-
/ pected that Mr.. Mercer would accept,
as he had already expressed willing
ness to come West. In letter received
today by Mr.. L. S. Davis from Bishop
Morris, the bishop states that Mr.. Mer-
Ger cannot come, as he has received and
accepted a call elsewhere. The news
will be disappointing to the members ol
st. Paul's parrish, as they are very de.
sirous of rector being sent them and
regular services begin again. The in
ability of MIR. Mercer to accept the cal
will cause delay in the securing of a
rector, but efforts will be made immedI.
ately towards that end.

buried the chld's body in the barn cellar.
where It was found, but he claims that
he did not kill her. He says he Went
into the cellar Thursday morning after
a pitchfork, which he knew was down
there. AS he felt confident of putting
his hand on It. he did not bother to
take a lantern with him, as would have
been necessary If he intended to do any
work there. He was on his way
to where he supposed the piteh-
fork ~ be when he stumbled ever
Something which from the feeling he
knew must be a body. He couldn't tell
at first whether it was a human body
or that of an animal. but he made an
examination and saw that 1t was the
corpse of Alice Starting. He DECIDED
to bury the body as he was fearful lest
he should be suspected of killing the
child if he reported the matter to the
police. He then got q shovel, du
hole and buried the body head down
ward Gilbert claims that at the time
the murder IS supposed to have been
committed his mind was a bia.--x and t..at

OUR QUEER HAVANA CEN
SUI.

WASHINGTON, April 15 1Ss5-Untted.
States Consul General Ramon Williams
has been granted tine customary sixty
days leave of absence from his post
at Havana after application by letter to
the State Department. but it IS sot known
here whether he will make use of the
privilege or not. Under the regulations
he could not leave his post more than
ten days at time without permission
from Washington, although, upon apoli-
cation, he is entitled to sixty days ans
nually. Mr.. Williams has always Sc
cured his annual leave, but on several
occasions has failed TO make use of 1t.
Gen Calleja, the Governors General of
Cuba with whom Mr.. Williams hads the
aIltercation which led the recently. super
cedeG Spanish Cabinet to complain to
this Government about the Consul-Gen-
eral has himself been recalled to Spain.
1t Is understood that the new Spanish
Cabinet has not supported the complains
made by its predecessor in regard to, the
Consul-General. However, Mr.. Williams
IS understood to have had enough OF his
official position in Cuba, which he mas
held ever ten years, and that he has
determined to settle IN Brooklyn, where
his family lives. 1t would, therefore,
not be surprising # he resigned at the
exDir.attOn of his leave of absence.
