His first bout was with Charles Ha- ghey, whom he knocked out In the third round. Besides this, O'Brien met all corners at Dublin during the horse show week.

 Baltimore, Oct 2S-The board of police missfoners threw bomb into the fighters camp yesterday by declining to issue permit for the bout between Joe Bernstein, t'the Ghetto champion and Sammy Myers, scheduled for Friday, November G.
 The management of the Kn1cker- booker Athletic club, where the bout was to have beAn held is in a serious quandary. as in declining to issue the permit, as heretofore. the commissions CTS take the ground that the club be ing incorporated under the laws of Maryland. and one of the clauses in its charter stipulatfng that boxing contests are to be given, no special permit seems necessary.
 Whether the police department has any hidden motive in its refusal IS the point which worries the boxing pro- motors here, and just at present neith- CT side has shown it's hand. No an nouncement has as yet been made as to whether the contest will or will not take place, but the club people have placed the matter in the hands of af- torneys.

of her fathers will she was made a sacred charge upon Frederick Van Slasson, and all her interests were placed in his hands. He had accepted the charge reluctantly, but discharged it most conscientious1y. Not only had he devoted himself to the care and en. 4hancement of her fortunes, but had given his best thought and care to her own education and development. He had grown to love her as his own daughter, all the starved affection oi his nature had turned upon her; and she had given him all the respect and love and tenderness of her bountiful girlhood. To him she was an idol made of precious dust To her he was the best and kindest and wisest of men
 He was iealously careful of her, and in his fear that she might meet an un- worthy man and become interested in him. he had kept her from society.
 All of which was most foolish, for sooth, because when Edith went west to visit friends in her twentieth year she met Freeman Dustin and straight way fell in love with him. He was so different from the type of men she knew, so different from her aristocratic uncle, that his very ruggedness and physical strength fascinated her. She never before had seen man with so fearless an eye, nor one absolutely un- conscious of conventionalities, and she adored his courage and strength. He was in the very prime of his physical manhood and seemed perfect god to her To be sure he lacked thei little reflnenaents and sraees of men of ha1

Under the caption, Astoria Eleven Is
Strong Aggregation, the Portland
Journal has these nice things to say Of
the Commercial Club football team;
From the accounts received regarding
the Astoria Vancouver football match,
which was played at the latter place on
Thanksgiving afternoon, it appears
that there was considerable more doing
than real football, according to the AS
,orla boys who witnessed the fray,
The principal kick is that Astoria was
treated unfairly by the Vancouver off,
eials aud robbed OF at least three more
touohdowns than for which they were
given credit, although the score was
81 to 0 in Astoria's favor. The game
was brilliantly played by the Astorians
as the Vancouver eleven was out-class-
ed completely and could not stop the
terrific rushes Of the visitors. vancou-
yer made first touchdown but once,
while the Astorians Skipped through
the line at will and skirted the ends
with ease. Quarterback Stockton OF
Astoria played splendid game, run
ming his team with care and great judg
ment. His selection Of plays was per-
feet and he sent his men through the
soldiers with a rush. Stockton tackled
flercely, and Whenever he threw man
the earth trembled, Graham, Barker
sutton, Mlnard, Gammal, Goddard,
Painter, Trullinger, Payne, Bayles and
Jones all played tirst-class ball and
were in every play with a rush. The
Astoria boys deserve great praise for
their good work. There is no doubt
but shat Astoria would give the Multi
nomah eleven a hard run for their
money"

Governor Chamberlain is In receipt Of
letter from Captain H. Docherty. OF
the British ship Ardencraig. that says
things about Portland crimps and sail-
or boarding house men. Captain Doch-
erty experienced difficulty in shipping
crew and what he has to say about
the source OF his troubles is anything
but complimentary. One part OF the
letter reads I'VE, the shipmasters,
have to buy the men to make our crew
at SIS per man. The law allows this
amount. Why such law? Is there
any reason why we, as employers of
seamen, should he dictated to by the
Chief ,-rimp Sullivan when we have to
ship a crew." rhe general tone of the
letter Is an exposition OF the present
abuses. and an inquiry as to why they
are lot corrected. Captain Docherty
wrote while his ship was anchored at
sand island. preparatory to Its depart
ura for Port Elizabeth.

The Seaside Lumber Company has
made no move as yet toward erecting
new mill. but there is talk of one be-
ing in contemplation. Rumor has It
that the mill will be built farther
south OF the present works, on the bank
OF the Necanicum. and that the old mill
will be converted into a box factory.
The plan is to put in first-class sash
and door factory whore the box factory
now stands. A sash and door factory
has already been built by the company
and the machinery has recently been
installed. The plant Is not large but 1t
is intended 20 do effective work.. 1t
adjoins the box factory. The pro-
posed min is TO be Of the same capacity
as the mill now In course Of construc-
tion at warrenton. The Seaside Lum-
Der Company has done much for the
popular resortand the proposed enlarg-
ment OF the plant is heralded by Sea-
siders as meaning more prosperity for
their thriving town.

additional contribution of 1858 TO the
flood relief fund of the c. A R. 1t
came from the quartermaster general
and was contributed by various depart
ments throughout the union
This brings the total of the G. A. R.
relief fund to about $780, 1t will be
distributed on October II among $50
old soldiers who were damaged by the
flood.
Each post in the flooded district was

MYSTERIOUS FIRES START.
Home of Mrs. 2. T. Riley on Lane
Street the Scene

Two very mysterious fires have oc-
CURED at the home of Mrs. u. T. Riley
a widow living at 1878 Lane street One
was Friday morning about 10 o'clock
The other was Saturday evening at 4.
The first fire was not reported to the
fire department, and TO alarm was sent
in.
Chief Wimarth believes that the Fri
day morning fire was caused by a gaso-
line stove. After using the stove at
breakfast time, Mrs. Riley thought she
turned out the blaze. She was absent
from home all the morning. When she
returned she was astOnished to find
that the front room had been thorough
ly cooked and that the fire had died
out of its own accord. Two portieres
were burned up and where they fell on
the floor there were holes burned in the
floor. But it seemed that the fire lack
ed draught. and died down. For time
it was thought that this fifire was in
cendiary. but now Chief Wilmarth be-
lieves that it Started from the gasoline
stove. which was not far from the
burned portieres.
Mrs Riley was considerably worried
by the belief that someone was trying
to burn down her house. and decided to
stay in North Topeka Saturday night
During the day. however. she and sever
al of her neighbors made a careful In
spection of the house. and everything
seemed to be all right. There was no
sign of fire. At about Z o'clock Satur-
day night, neighbors discovered that the
house was afire. and turned In an
alarm This time the fire was in a
stairway closet. which is also near the
gasoline stove. The fire was eXtinguish-
ed with considerable loss 1t is OF course
possible that the second fire started
from the first or it may have started
from the gasoline stove. which. nov
ever, had not been lighted since the frs |
fire.
Here is a peculiar things to observe;
there was a table near the portiers
which burned in the first fire. On the
table was a large glass lamp. The lamp
came through the first fire unscathed.
After the second fire it was found
smashed to pieces on the table. but there
was nothing to indicate that the oil had
been spilled. MRS. Riley says the lamp
was full of oil. What became of the
oil?
A screen on a front window was found
to have been pulled loose in such way
that it was possible to reach through
the window and unlock a door. How
ever. the door was locked. All the other
doors and windows. were locked. Besides,
it was hardly dark when the fire occurr-
ed.
It's a mysterious case, but the chances
are that neither fire was of incendiary
origin. Chief Wilmarth is sure the first
one was not but he says he isn't done
investigating the second.
