He reported that the rebels when he left five days ago, had Bur rounded Rlncon, a small port near Sallna Cruz, and that the federals ex pected to lose the town. Other vessels say that the rebels have already sur rounded it and the Eensenadans were crazed, wlti 'car, expecting an attack any time. . Another Town Falls. ;' Nogales, Miy 11.

Petition Sign Somewhat Freely Pre. sented to the Council. Another indication of the powers or rather attractions of a petition was presented to the council last evening when remonstrances against bltullth ic paving on Washington avenue were presented. When the matter first came up the petition asking for bltu llthio was large and far above the ma jority.' Last night a large petition, presumably a majority again, remon strated against it and as one council man expressed it," the council is be tween the sea and high water. , TUi petition was referred and will be re ported on soon. . Steps looking toward changing the creek in South La Grande were order ed taken; a flume taken out to allow the projection of Cove avenue last year must be returned to its place and the street superintendent and Mayor Richardson today took steps to do bo; bills from the Warren Construction company for work done on Fourth, Main and Sixth were held over until the next meeting..

The 11th of enrb month Is rnmlnj V be synonomous with cussing in the city water department. -Thirty-one citizens of La Grande neglected to pay their, rents again this month and there was the usual gritting and knashing of teeth this morning. With the list of 31 delinquents an employe of the water department started out at ' an early hour to disconnect and-'at about the same hour citizens congregated at the city office. The excuses set forth are varied and humorous often, but usually resolve themselves down, to "forgetfulnesB." Water Superintend ent Hoyt was out on the Second street pipe line and lost most of the blame, City Recorder Humphreys and Deputy McCall getting the full brunt. The dollar fine was usually paid, howerer, In the end and at noon most were back In the good graces of the city. Invoking the delinquent law with out partlliaty has brought the water office up to. a business basts.
