Disputed Coast Office Shakeup Over Chinese Aliens
Collector James Lotan was dismissed and Deputy Pike put in charge after a Washington dispatch. The article accuses a treasury agent of stirring trouble to oust Lotan, notes Lotan’s June actions importing Chinese merchants aboard Danube, and cites Secretarial orders to ignore fraudulent papers for returning merchants as hundreds of Chinese entered Portland under questionable certificates. The piece implies political friction with Cleveland and upcoming retirement details.

Local Imposter Ball Player Causes Stirs in Town
A stranger claimed to be a ball player and joined the town team for pay, then stayed at Athena House. He rode a loose horse at Smetherman’s livery, fled with the horse, and was captured by Marshal Stamper. He claimed to head to Weston for work, acted erratic, and was taken to Pendleton for confinement. He later grabbed a valise and wore it as a hat, prompting calm skepticism about his mind.

They returned unsigned papers and cited bank failures and money-market conditions as reasons. Local opinion split, but Athens remains unable to sell bonds and bids for a new issue are unlikely under current conditions.
