All that remains of the ill-fated ItaI-
ian bark cavour is a small piece Of her
hull, which is lying high and dry on
Sand island. All other wreckage has
been washed away, and, apart from the
small piece Of huh, perhaps Is feet in
length, there is absolutely nothing to
bear witness to the loss of the vessel.
The bark went ashore at o'clock on
Tuesday night, and parties who visited
the scene sof the wreck the following
smorning could see no sign of wreckage
with the exception here noted. The old
vessel pounded to pieces during the
early hours of the morning, and by
daylight was completely broken up.
The lumber from the Cavour is being
washed up along the lower harbor
beach and an effort is to be made to
recover 1t. The Astoria Lumber Com
pany has purchased all right to the
cargo and whatever may be left of the
ship, and has warned persons against
appropriating the property to them
selves.

Charles III. Abercrombies friends are
congratulating him upon the fact Of
his defeat wednesday, and Mr.. Aber-
crombie himself realizes that the result
of the election was all for the best. The
particular reason for the congratula-
tions lie in the fact that the years inn
mediately following graduation from a
law or other school are those in which
the destinies of a young man are
shaped, and there are many who res
pect Mr.. Abercrombie very highly,
who, for his sake, voted against him at
the election yesterday. Mr.. Abrecrom-
bic, in The examination he passed in
the law school from which he was grad
uated, reflected credit upon the city Of
his birth, and those who have closely
watched his career predict for him a
very promising future in the practice
of his chosen profession. Thinking men
throughout the city, and of them o
large proportion are friends Of the de-
feated candidate for the Office of audi.
tor and police Judge, are almost unit
in expressing the opinion that far from
sustaining a loss, Mr. Abercrombie is
a distinct gamer. His introduction to
the public will, of itself, be Of service
to him, and will serve to largely IN
crease his circle of acquaintances, the
possession of which are Of considerable
Importance to any young man at the
outset of his career.

John Ossenbroggen, familiarly known
as Sausage, John" died at his home

one of his sons went into his fathers
room this morning he was Mortified to
find that the soul had passed away.
The boy then went down town, crying,
and told the sad news to some acquain-
tances, who went to the house and
found that, though the body was still
warm, life was extinct. Death is be-
lieved to have been due to heart
trouble.

Manager George Barker, of the Com
medical Club football team, was In
Portland yesterday comforting with the
Multnomah eleven regarding the big
game scheduled for next Sunday. The
Portlanders are by no means over-con-
fident ,f victory. they realize that
Astoria has strong aggregation and
say so. The string Of victories that the
Commercials have to their credit has
won for them recognition throughout
the northwest, and the favorable men
tion the team has received has not es-
capped the Multnomah eleven. They
manifest great interest in the forth
coming contest, which they say will be
q hard-fought one. There is no cer-
tainty that Tom Ross will number
among the Multnomah players. He suf-
fered slight injury in the recent game
played between the medical and dem
tai students, and it is thought prob
able that this will prevent him from
taking part in the contest. The game
will be the largest attended one of any
played here this season, as the whole
town, seemingly, is interested. The
kickoff will be at 2:SO, and so cents
will be charged to spectators.

The price of The better grade potatoes
showed a slump during the week at
Portland on account of similar ac-
tion in the San Francisco market. This
action had been brought about by the
extra large shipments Of stocks from
Oregon. The price of onions, as on
potatoes, shows slight decline. 1t is
thought by those on the inside Of the
situation that the market will remain
at about present figures until after
the opening Of the new year-probably
january 15--when reaction will very
likely set in.
