Judge Hamilton has rendered d.
cision in the case of ]. E Davis ct I
vs.. the city of Eugene. The suit wa
g brought to compel the city to vacat
the streets passing through the publ
square, which is located on the col
ners of four adjoining blocks. Thes
street have been open and in use sine
y 1859. and the court held that by sucl
use for that length of time the righ

case will probably oe appealed to th'
supreme court.
Some time since four men died ii
the mountains near Astoria undel
most peculiar clrcumstancess supposed
to have been the result Of poisoning
from food they ate. Since the finding
OF their bodies, no effort has beer
made to ascertain the cause of their
death. It is asserted it would cost
Clatsop county several hundred dol.
lars to have the contents Of their
stomachs analyzed, and the county
court will not bear the expense. This
is very unsatisfactory, for the people
Of the state at large want to know
what the cause of the deaths was.
Captain Holbrook, of the quarter
masters department, U. S. army,
was in Astoria Monday and requested
the:water commission to submit an esti-
mate for supplying Fort Stevens with

It is estimated that to extend the
mains to the fort, using six and eight.
inch pipe, would cost about s30, 900.
Captain Holbrook states that 1t is the
intention OF the department to ex-
pend about 100000 now in fixing up
the Fort Stevens barracks and
grounds, and that fully as much more
will be spent in the near future.
