The swift steamer Charles R.
Spencer came down the river yester-
day, on the first run of her promised
tri-weekly service between this port
and Portland. She came in about | 80
p, m. and made short swing to reach
the Calender dock, and did some
fancy rolling and pitching before she
tied up. She had but few passengers
aboard this trip, but she made this
run on the old Telegraph schedule
and Captain Spencer says he will
knock that off the river before he is
through with the summer traffic 1t
is said the appearance of the Spencer
on this end of the river is liable to
create a rate war between here and
the metropolis as the Bailey Gatzert

do what she can to capture the lead
in the business. The Spencer makes
this port on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays until further orders. She

would not, in the least, affect the un-
certainty of her movements out of
this port, nor aid in anyway to ex-
pedite the service she is rendering.
She goes over the Columbia bar as
often and as regularly as the condi-
tons of sea and weather permit, no
matter where she sarts from, and she
has the quicker despatch from here,

 Named.

Washington, D. O.. April 2s.--(spec- ial)-Thomas McCreary the New York horseman who was accidentally shot by Representative Heflin. is so improved that he will on Frldayleave the hospital, being pronounced entire ly out of danger by the physicians.
 It has come to light that McCreary would undoubtedly have died from the complications occasioned by both the lockjaw and pneumonia but for the bold determination of pr. Wyatt Half lin, brother of the Congressman. to administer a powerful remedy that the other physicians would not risk. pr. Hehin is said to have assumed all re- sponsibility, and the result was that the patient was saved although 1t was a desperate undertaking.
 A slight improvement is reported In the condition of Representative Wiley, but the swelling in his leg is being reduced so slowly that his doctor thinks 1t will yet be a couple of weeks possibly before he will be able to leave his room.
