skipper Tells Of what Custom Hcn,e
Officers Did.
The Jolly skipper of the Koolau
schooner Lady is back IN port
again. He has no further use for
the Custom House officers. The
reason why will be found in the
following story, told by the cap
tain himself:
"We left port on Wednes-
day week, taking a cargo of
general merchandise for our usual
Koolau ports. AS luck would
have it, we got no wind and next
III rning were not very far away,
ave were surprised to see the
tug boat approaching up. In Il
little while sh" came alongside
and Inspector Short said, we are
going to board you l answered
that that was al right.
"rhen the inspect r asked me
where / was going aud | answer
ed that ! was going to Koolau if |
could get the necessary wind.
Then the four Custom House
officers who came aboard began to
search the ship and TO overhaul
the cargo. l thought that they
had done enough by coming
aboard but VIII n they actually
asked me- to lend them one of my
men to help rip up my cargo, |
almost fell on the deck. Well,
they didn't get the man and they
didn't fin anything on the vessel.
at seems that they had tip
that dope was dropped from one
Of the foreign STEAMERS that came
into p rt earlv in tue week; that
this was anchored aud that an ISL
and schooner was going to pick it
up"

A DELIBERATE SUICIDE.
One of the Regulator Passengers Jumped
Overheard and Was Drowned.

One of the Regulator Passengers Jumped
Overheard and Was Drowned.
About noon Wednesday, when the
Regulator was passing Warrendale on
its trip up from Portland, one of the
passengers walked to the rear of the
boat, laid his hat on the deck, climbed
over the railing and DOWN the ladder
to the waters edge and plunged into
the river. The assistant engineer
was oiling the journals of the wheel at
the time, but was unable to prevent
the suicides rash act, lot knowing his
intent until it was too late.
After striking the water the man
swan for some distance, but sank
about 80 yards from the Oregon shore.
The man was stranger, no one on
board knowing him, and he had
been non-conversant with the passen-
gers. After the purser had taken up
his ticket, which was from Portland to
The Dalles, he had lain down in the
front ca bin, where he remained until
about noon. just before he jumped
overboatd he was noticed to walk
through the dining room and ladies
cabin, then out the door. Some of the
passengers noticed that he had rather
wild expression, indicating insanity,
though no intimation was given of his
suicidal intent.
The man was apparently 40 or 45
years of age, was feet or inches in
height, had gray eyes, dark hair,
streaked with gray, wore a mustache,
and two or three weeks growth of
beard on his face. He wore dark
suit and dark shirt, and had the ap-
pearance of being laborer. The
boat crew was unable to recover the
body, it having sunk in quite deep
water before he could be reached
by the men who had started out in
a small boat to his rescue.

secured possession of large piece of

Hon. j. 81. DAVIS Addresses an Enthusias-
tic Audience at the Baldwin.
The union campaign in The Dalles
was opened last night, Hon. j. II.
Davis (Cyclonel was the speaker of the
evening, and fair sized audience
Assem- bled to lis'en to the noted orator
from the Lone Star state. He was in
troduced Dy Hon. J. L. Story, nominee
for Encouragement, and was received
with round of applauses.
Mr.. Davis at once entered into a
discussion of the money question, and
made numerous good points in ex-
planning the effect scarcity of money
has upon trade and business. That
there was not sufficient money in this
country to conduct the business, Mr..
Davis proved beyond doubt, and sug-
gested as remedy that the mints of
the nation be thrown open to the un-
limited coinage of both silver and
gold. He offered fOrcible argument
in auswerto the charge that it would
be reputation to pay the public debt
in anything but gold, dwelling upon
the fact that the contract (the bond)
called for coin, and that the creditor
had no right to demand what metal
should constitute the coin in which he
should be paid. Mr.. Davis speech
was intersperced with sufficient life to
keep his hearers in good humor, and
was one that will have telling effect
in the campaign.
