The sign board kindly made by Squire O'Donulil; is ready for the lettering, Which Mr. Ward This Grant's Pass Tr.uikdy. From a passenger on the north bound train, yesterday, the following particulars of the double tragedy which occurred about oightecn niiies below Grant's Pass, were gleaned.

On Ftioay night it seems that I'uipqua Joe, and iiis son-in-law Pieco, were drinking, and Pieco went outside the cabin in which they both lived, and shot one of Joe's canines. This act offended Joe, and he in turn shot Pieco in the groin, the shot severing the main artery. Pieco fell in the doorway, but before he expired, he managed to save the county of Josephine, and the state at large, a big bill of costs, hy getting back at his father in-law with a shot in the heart, and another in the lungs. Both men expired almost instantly. I'mpqua Joe was quite an old mun, and was a noted scout in the Indian war of 18oo-'5t, during which time he was a great friend of the whites.

In Jail. iH'puty Sheriff E. M. Cro-isan went down to North Prairie, altout ten utiles ninth of Icm, yesterday, anil arrested a votm man named Geo. VV.

Younti, upon a wan ant issued out of O'l'onald's court, (or larceny in a dwelling. Tln frime with which he in charged is being an accomplice of Hart- lett, the man who stole an overcoat from Mrs. K.ite Baker, the courtesan, a few days since. It is alleged that Young went into the house ami (tot tiie coat for Harriett. ounst waived examination before Justice, O'ltonald vesterdav after- rnxiti, ami was hound over to appear be tore the next grand jury, in the sum of ofcUMng at)le to furnish nomls, Young keeps company with Bartlett in the county jail.

Bartlett yesterday told where the overcoat was hidden, and Croisan wont and found it. Both Young and Bartlett are sorry specimens of the genus homo. Pacific Fostal Telegraph. Henry Kosener, vice-president of the Postal Tel egraph company, arrived yesterday lroui San Francisco overland. During the trip he inspected the line as far as is con Btnicted, and is greatly pleased with the manner in which the work has been done.

The line is now being built over the most difficult portion of the route to-wit Siskvou mountains, ami jrxxI progress is being made. The cable to he used in crossing the Columbia river at Kulama will arrive on the 20th. To-day Judge Hoyt, of the United Suites district court at Olympia, will decide whether the Postal Telegraph company has the right to build over the right of "wav of the Northern Pacific railroad or not. Breach oy Pkomisk. Nov.

30, 1885, Mrs. Henrietta M. Kelley, of Portland, began suit in he state circuit court against William F. Highfiold, of Oregon Citv, for 20,000 for alleged breach of promise. The defendant is an Englishman, 70 years old, and wears a wig.

lie has lived at Oregon City many years, is a watchmaker and jeweler, and is said to be worth from $100,000 to considerable of which is invested in Vic toria. He has been acquainted with the plaintiff since she was a little girl. Mrs. Kelly is between 40 and 4.3 years of aue. and is the wile of an ex-postmaster of vregon city.

fche is the mother of Ed M. Ke ly, treasurer of the New Market. Klie asks for fciO.OOO damaures. The case has been delayed by motions and counter motions, but is now on trial at Portland. School Uocse Burned.

Albany Herald. The Bbidue. The approach on the county side is rapidly pushing its way out toward a landing. About 200 or .100 feet of the approach has already been floored. On the north side of this approach will be a footway.

The pier protectors are nearing completion too. On the Polk county side, after the bridge company has completed its contract.there will yet remain a till of about a hundred feet from one to five feet deep. This will likely be done bv the road district across the river. The bridge company thinks it will have its contract completed by the last of this month, or at least before December 10th. Cyclostyle.

A Statesman reporter was shown this interesting and valuable duplicating apparatus, at work, in the office of County Clerk Chapman yesterday. It is said to be the latest and best duplicating apparatus in existence. It is of use in writing circulars, cards, blanks, and is much more rapid and convenient than the hektograph, besides giving so many more impressions. It is claimed that 2000 copies can be taken from one writing. The cyclostyle is well worthy the examination of the active merchant.

W. G. Steel, now in this city, is the agent for Oregon. Multnomah's Candidates. It will be remembered that Gov.

Moody issued a call for a special election to take place in Multnomah county on Nov. 29, to elect a representative to the legislative assembly to U. 8. Surveyor General Taylor. The republicans have nominated David Goodsell, a prominent and well-known lawver of Portland ami ti.u democrats have endorsed J.

J. Kelly, of Easi roraanu, wno was nominated hy "Col." Gilson's labor party. Goodsell's election is a settled thing. Laboe Meeting. There was a large and deeply interested audience at the Christian church last night.

After the praise and testimony meeting and a dis-course by the pastor, two persons went forward and made the good confession. The indications are tliat others will shortly take the important step. The ordinance of Christian baptism will be administered on Sunday night. Devotional services at 7, and preaching at 7 :3) tonight. 2io preaching to-morrow night.

A Habd Shot. It appears that E. O. Norton, anti-monopolist, means business. He bought at sheriff's old-horse" sale in Salem, a few days ago, the pistol with which Joe Drake shot and killed David Swarts several years ago.

Nothing but the report that Norton is a poor shot prevents a panic among railroad magnates, steamboat owners, shareholders in gas and water companies, and delinguent subscribers of the Oregon Vidette. Portland Telegram. Will Pay Off. It is authoritatively stated that the Oregon Pacific Co. have the funds deposited with which to pay off, and will do so within a few days.

Their employees have not received pay for September and October. The delayed payment is said to be due to the fact the time keepers bad made errors in the pay roll, which had not been adjusted until lately Albany Herald. The "Hunt Tea." Thursday evening, the elegant residence of Hon. K. P.

Ear-hart, secretary of state, on Capitol and Chemeketa streets, was the scene of one of the most pleasant atfairs of the season. The invitations bade the guests to a "high tea," a new thing in evening parties for Salem. The gentlemen all arrived in full evening dress, while some of the ladies' costumes were exceedingly tine, and greatly (tightened the briliiancy of the scene in the parlors. At the door each gentleman was given an envelope containing the name oi the lady whom he was expected to take iu to tea. Tea was announced at eight o'clock, and as the guests tiled in, they were greatly charmed at the beauty of the tables, aiid the decorations.

Flowers seemed to be every where, and the air was perfumed with their fragrance. The menu was excellent, nine courses, as follows: Raw oysters; bouillon; oyster patties; lamb chops, mashed potatoes; chicken croquettes, peas; tongue, turkey, chicken salad; chocolate, vanilla wafers; ice cream, cake; fruit, coffee. The refreshments were excellently prepared, and their discussion was to the utmost satisfaction of the guests. During the entire supper, sweet music from an orchestra in an adjoining room, added to the harmony of the conversation. The guests rose from the tables at 11 :30, and were favored with an instrumental selection from Miss Frankie Jones, and a song from Miss Hallie Parrish.

It was past midnight before adieus were said. In this the Misses Earhart have ably sustained their reputation as delightful entertainers. Those present were Miss Addie Earhart, Miss Eva Earhart, Mrs. Geo. Horren, Mrs.

A. E. Strang, Miss Frankie Jones, Miss Lena Breyman, Miss May Carpenter, Miss Hailie Parrish, Miss Leona Willis, Miss Lizzie Dearborn, Mr. Geo. Herren, Mr.

Keller. Another Railroad Scheme. The ieo-ple of Newport are now trying to raise another boom over on Yaqtiina bay. They are now trying to engineer a narrow gauge railroad from Yaquina City via Newport to Cape Foul weather. Articles of incorporation of the "Seaside Railway Company" were filed in the office of the secretary of state vesterdav, bv I.

H. Bagley.J. N. Fordyce, and Will T. Webber, with the view to the consummation oi the above scheme.

The articles give the corporation power to construct and oierate telegraph and telephone lines along the route, construct terminal buildings, lay side tracks, erect station houses, and do all else necessary to the carrying out of the scheme and operation of the railroad. Capital stock $50,000, in 500 shares. The road would not be difficult to huild but what would be its ol-ject, unless it would be to lay the foundation of a seaside town a watering place, for instance at Foulweather light, and thereby allow property holders and simulators a chance to realize a "sec" from the sale of town lots? The writer has a good deal of faith in the future of Yaquina bay, but that faith" need not necessarily le scattered all the way from Seal rocks to Foulweather light. lie thinks the new railroad scheme is visionary. Still Visiting Schools.

County fcupt. Peebles returned last evening from a visiting tour to the public schools in Abiqua and Garfield precincts. During his travels the following schools were visited to wit: Hazel Green, Miss A. lirown Hazel Dell, J. ercher; North Howell Prarie, H.

H. Smith; l'arkers-ville, Ed. Shields; Dist. 104, Miss Nettie Vedder Grassy Pond, Miss F. Higley; mi.

Van Valkin-burgh; Thomas H. V. Holcomb; Hartman's, J. A. Havlock: Dist.

105. John Scott; Dist. 78, Clarence fftmerall. All these schools were well attended and duing satisfactory work. The suierin-tendent will be found at his otlice to-day.

Me win visit the schools in South Salem. Jefferson, and Turner precincts next week. The Choir Concert. A large audience gathered at the M. E.

church last even ing to listen to the concert given by the choir, assisted by other local talent. The excellent programme was duly carried out, with the exception of Miss DeFor-est's reading, which was omitted on account of her sickness. It would be ini- Dossible to sneak too hiihlv nf the con cert, as all present agree that it was one of the very best ever given in the city. Miss Chamberlin, especially, was in fine voice, and sang with remarkable sweet ness. But we have not space to indi vidualize, as all did so well, and the evening was most enioyablv and pleas antly passed.

It was a happy idea to nnish witti that grandest of all songs, by the full choir and orchestra. "Home. sweet home." Again is the Need Apparent. Silver- toa now gets its Portland mail at the same time that mail arrives in this citv. There is as yet no route agent on the narrow gauge, Dut it is expected that one will soon lie nlaced in tlmt.

mute. If Hm Lebanon express carried a mail agent, as snoiiiti, ine man irom balem would reach Kilvertin at. half naat ton ietn This need of a mail agent on the narrow-gauge lines and on the Lebanon express oecomes more apparent every aay. Converts. lie vs.

Jones and Sails, the Methodist reviyalists, are still conduct ing their meetings at Silverton, but they will probably close on Sunday next. A very great interest has been manifested in these meetinirs throuihoiit. one hun dred and eighteen converts having been made during the series. Bhhxik Covered. The county court is taking good care of the bridges of the county, while doing many other things of benefit to the county.

The bridge on the Silverton and Mt, Angel road across the Abiqua, has recently been covered, in order to protect it from the action of the elements, by their order. Very Sick. J. P. Killinger, foreman of E.

M. Waite's printing office, is very low with Inner and tliro.it troubles. On Thursday night he was prostrated by an attack of pleurisy, and his condition is considered dangerous. Manuel Euiiici-o, an Italian, Tries to Work Ctiiiflilcnce tlanip in this Citv. A day or two since, a little, short, dark-visaged, stubby-haired, unshaven, Italian or Spanired, made his appearance in this city, registering ut the Cheniekoto hotel as hailing from Pendleton.

He had a few dollars in his pocket, and soon found a little quiet game, where his "grub stake" disappeared. He then began to feel "broke," as it were, and on Thursday, went into the First National bank, of this city, and tried to cash his personal check on the First National bank of Pendleton, for the small sum of Cashier Moir, of the First National, refused to honor the draft, but said ho would accept it "for collection." The man gave his name iis Manuel Komero, and said he was the owner, in fee simple, of a large sheep ranch hoar Pendleton, and that he had come to this city for the purpose of arranging to place "his two daughters" at school, at the Academy of the Sacred Heart. He represented that he had Blathers of money in the First National bank, of Pendleton, and that ho carelessly came away without bringing certified checks with him, us he should have done. He then drew a blank check liook from his pocket, and drew a sight draft on Pendleton for $2,500, which ho left with Cashier Moir for collection, Mr. Moir giving him a receipt therefor.

The draft was then forwarded at once to Pendleton, ind Komero started out to work the town. His first move was to visit the Academy of the Sacred Heart, where he made ali arrangements for the admission of "his daughters" into that institution, drawing a check at sixty days on the First National of this city for $400, and hiking a receipt for the amount. This was his "first dodge." He then started down town, and wont into Haines' tailoring establishment to buy a suit of clothes, saying that he had an invitation to visit a friend, whom he had met here, accidentally, air. Haines "sized him up" from apiwarances and did not rustle around very hard to- show him suits. "You must think I don't want to buy a suit, don't you?" Komero ejaculated, at the same time drawing his receipt for the $2,500 collection from his pocket.

Haines then thought that perhaps the fellow was in earnest, and placed a price of $40 on a suit to be delivered in a few-days. Komero then returned to the First National bank and drew a check for $45, payable in ten days from date the amount being $5 more than the price of the Btiit. However, Haines was too shrewd, and did not allow himself to bo caught, The fellow said that the cashier of the bank had written the amount wrong by mistake, hut Haines told him that when the suit was finished and delivered, and the check cashed, lie would return the $5. The follow then went out, but he evidently was a little surprised at his scheme failing. Ho next succeeded in borrowing $10 from Talkington Aiken, $10 from Dubois of the Chemekote hotel, and $5 from "San Jose Bill," (Wm.

Atkinson). He lost this gambling, or some wav. and then tried to borrow more from Talkington Aiken, but they refused to loan him any more. Yesterday morning he went to the Academy of the Sacred Heart, and told some kind of a story to the Sister Superior, and wanted her to let him hava $25 on his $400 draft. This she refused to do until she saw the cashier of the bank.

She met Mr. Moir at the door of the bank, who had just started to see her he having just received the following telegram PKNOLKTON, NOV. 19, 1SS0. John Moir, cashier First National Hank, 8lem: Manuel Komero has do Inutls with Q. Check handeil notary.

Ham. P. Btuk'jkx, Caabier. Mr. Dubois, of the Chemekete, was then informed of the telegram, and it was understood that a warrant was sworn out for Romero's arrest, on a charge of gaining money under false pretences, and the warrant placed in Sheriff Minto's hands.

Romero had not been captured at last accounts, and it was suposed he started southward yesterday morning. People up the road will do well to look out for him. One thing that gave the man a lit-tie ground to work on, was his apparent familiarity with the names of prominent citizens in Pendleton, and his apparent acquaintance with the proper way of doing business with a bank. Farming Notes. "Farmers apjear," says a man just in from the rural districts, "hard at wotk finishing their fall seeding, which has been delayed considerably by lack of rain but the usual acreage will more than likely be sown.

The cold weather, however, has proven favorable for the pork business, yet exceedingly fatal to the hogs, as nearly 'every body' has been killing. The grass has hardly gotten a start yet, and pasture-age is not as good as farmers would desire." Don't Want Any Hunters. There ap-pears to be in the heart of the average farmer an inherentantipathy to the usual run of city sportsmen which is made fully apoarent by the "numerosity" of the "Notice to Tresa8sers" posted aliout their ranches. The festive gunners of this city will do well to wear their "nec-tacles" when out in the wilds of this county after the wild fowl of Oregon, and to use their optics both in the search of "notices" as well as game. singularly fatal disease has made its appearance in Silverton, although no mortality is rejiorted as yet.

Silverton once was visited by this direful scourge, and several deaths occurred. It is to be hojied that little city will not be alllicted with another such a siege. The Reason Why. The reason jeople still prefer to buy their drugs, medicines, and toilet articles, of Port's, No. 100 State street, is because they can get genuine goods at prices that defy competition.

Tbee-plantino. Jack Green has been engaged in planting maple trees about numerous private residences in the city. Yesterday he planted twenty-nine about VeiHon's property in North Salem. Friday Evknino'b Concert. Owing to a press of other matter, the Statesman did not contain, yesterday morning, as intended, a notice of Friday evening' concert as would have been desired mid therefore the reporter of this paper seizes the earliest opportunity of giving the performers in so choice an entertainment the credit which is their duo.

The entire programme was rendered in so excellent a manner that every one of the large audience wont awny well satisfied that his money was well spent. The entertainment opened with a full chorus, "Hallelujah to the Father," by the choir A selection which, though difficult, was admirably executed. The solo of Miss Green, "The Pilgrim," was sung nicely, and in a midodimis voice. The vocal quartotto, "No lOvil Shall Befall Thee," by Misses Goltra, Seribor, Moores, and Scriber, was a ported gem, and was rendered in such stylo as might be expected from singers of the reputation of these ladies. Their voices blundud beautifully.

"Cleansing Fires," was sung in Misb Lindsoy's usual graceful stylo. Mr. Hoars' basso solo, "The lxwt Chord," was performed in a powerful and energetic voice, and the low notes wore romarkablv round and full. The duo between Miss Chamberlin and Mr. Shirr was a charming selection, and the "Alice" of Miss Esther Hall, was rendered in a remarkably pleasant manner.

Miss Hull nevor sang better. It is a hard mutter to particularize about a programme which was so uniformly excel lent, and not say the same thing about each iwrformor. The remainder of the programme was rendered in as acceptable a manner as the first part, the vocal solos of both Miss Chiimherlin and Mr. Starr deserving eHjiecial praiso. The horn quartette unil orchestra were each excellent, and Messrs.

Coomer, Muck, Wall and Pixir more than sustained their reputations as accomplished miimciuna. Mr. Ryley, who took Mr. Dewe.ese's place on the programme, was never in better voice, and Miss Chamberlin showed in her piano solo that sho was even as finished a pianist as vocalist. Taken all in nil, the concert, was the most successfully rendered Bacred porformaniH) that has been given in Salom for years.

Great credit is due to Dr. Hall for having worked so indefatigably for the success of the entertainment. He spared neither pains nor expoiiHe. FiiiitT with a Deer The Appeal's Mehuma correspondent writes us follows "Alliert Woodsides had a tussle with a fine five-point buck not long since. Mr.

Woodsides shot ami crippled the animal and his dog caught it but was not able to handle it. Mr. W. hurried to the scene hut as soon as the deer saw him it made a niBh at him. Mr.

W. fired but his aim was not good, and failed to bring the deer down. Before he could shoot again, the buck struck him on the breast fulling him to the ground. He caught the animal by the horns and drew his trusty knife anil proceeded to carve his buckship. While engaged, Mr.

trusty hound flow to his master's rescue, and grabbed the deer by the ear tearing that member completely off, but the deer shook the dog off and again turned his attention to Mr. W. Had not help arrived, the hunter would have been killed. When Woodsides' companions arrived, they found him unconscious lying in a little branch with a savage buck standing over him. A well-directed shot killed the deer, the wounded man was revived, but says he don't want another tussle with a buck." The McGiiienyh.

A Btitki City paper bus the following; The family consists of Mr. and' Mrs. McGilmny, Mrs. Frank MeGilxmv, wife of the, eldest son, and twelve children, seven boys mid five girls, and every one of them a musician, from the parents down to the little three-year-old 1ah. The programme lust evening included solos, ducts, quartets, and mil orchestra, cadi commanding un applause as generous as it was hearty.

If the merit of the entertainment lie measured by tho demonstrations of favor exhibited by the large audience, we would lie safe in asserting it was the best that has been pri'sented here for a long time, and the audience the liest pleased us-Kemblugc of iwople that ever filled the house. Tramps and Vaoh. The wet, cold weather is driving tramps into tho city for shelter and now the town is nearly full of them. Last night four applied to the officers for "free lodgings" in the calaboose. The live now confined there ure entirely too high for vags.

They refused to work yesterday when they found that the road 8U)erviBor wanted them to aid in nutting in the crosswalk on Commercial street, saying that they were "not working in the mud these days." They were then returned to the city whore the entire five succeeded, after much exertion in sawing a half cord of wood, and eating three hot meals at a fifteen-cent restaurant. Going East. Rev. F. J.

Strayer, of the Evangelical church, with his family, contemplates starting for the East, leaving Portland on next Tuesday. There is a little party of six or more made up. If there others that want to go east soon, Mr. Strayr would bo glad to have them in the party for various reasons. First, there would he an advantage in rates, and to have, a party together, in different ways contributes pleasure and convenience.

For further information address Rev. F. J. Htrayer, 111 Clay street, Portland, also at Salem until Tuesday, November 215(1. Smart Alecks.

A newspaper man has a great deal of affection for a thieving scoundrel who will order a paper and take it for two or three years, then send it back, marked "refusod." Such tricks of smart Alecks, a few of whom may be found even in this Webfoot land, are about on a par with chicken-stealing. If the miserable scrubs who do such work as this were worth any thing, outside of their worthless hides, some of them would be made to see the folly of their smart Aleckism. Died at the Pen. Harry Lawrence, who was sentenced from Multnomah county to serve twenty years for robbery, died on Friday at the penitentiury, of a combination of diseases. He has been sick for a long time.

His body was taken to Mc.Minnvi'le for burial hy his friends. nate. Now for the Thanksgiving turkey dinner whereby to raise funds for running expenses. Inventory Filed. Yesterday, F.

It is at once neat and it ura tile, anil will be a great convenience to Treasurer Giesv, as it divides tiie otlice into two apartments, giving him more "elbow room." A neat desk will be placed on one corner for the accommoda tion of those cashing warrants, etc. This firm is also engaged upon a similar railing to be placed around the balconv sur rounding the prison 6tockade. Upwards of 4000 feet of iron pipe will be used in the manufacture of this railing, and when hnished, it will be the longest one of the kind in Oregon.

From a prominent citizen of St. Helen, Columbia coun ty, who was in Salem yesterday, a re porter of this paper learned that Hon. Geo. W. McBride, secretary of state elect, was considerably improved physically, ana be would likely be in falem in a few- days.

Mr. McBride intended coming to this city on luesday last, but was evi dently detained away. Almost a Cask. On Wednesday even ing, an umbrella was found to be missing from in front of E. C.
