The New York Novelty & Japanese company which nhowed here lant Satur day night was attached by W. C. Faulk aerof the Electric hotel on Monday for s board bill of between $8 and (9, and their paraphernalia was attached by Con etable Fields for the bill. The case was begun before Judge Fouts and is set for the .3d of October. Since the first of the year there has been no less than four deaths at or in the immediate vicinity of the Clackamas bridge on the electric line between here and Portland . The accident on Wednes day which resulted in the killing of Carl Perham was so sudden and unexpected that it shocked his fellow workmen for the moment and they were powerless to render aid. Indeed it is almost certain that death ensued the moment his hands came in contact with the wire which imparted the shock. The accident, as learned by a reporter who visited the scene immediately alter it occurred and talked with those who witnessed it, happened a little bclore five o'clock in the afternoon. The men had urcii at wor an nay on uie upper ciiorul of the bridge tightening up the rod for the purpose of getting the bridge which bad swayed to one side back in its nor mal position. In their work they had occasion frequently to pass from one side of the bridge to the other upon the lat eral braces and In doing so steadied themselves by the several electric light wires which are strung upon the bridge for the East Portland circuit . No shock had been felt at any time during the day and no thought ot danger occurred to the men when a little More 5 o'clock Carl Perham had occasion to cross the hi idge for an auger that was needed. He had nearly reached the opposite side when his fellow workmen were startled by the sound usual to crossed electric wires and hastily looking up they saw that he had fallen across the wires upon his back and that a bright blaze was leaping from each of his hands which were held fast to the two wires which he hsd hold of when he received the shock. His brother Robert was at work with him on the up per part of the bridge but was powerless to relieve him or free the body from contact with the wires. H. W. Per ham, another brother, and foreman of the work, was on the floor of the bridge, and seeing the position in which his brother was he ran beneath hint to be ready to catch him in case he should fall. After being in contact with the live wires for the space of about half a minute the bands released their grasp and the body fell and was caught by H. W. Perham, who carried it to the bank where attempts were made to resuscitate it but without avail. Coroner Ilolman was notified and immediately went to the scene of the accident where, after making a careful investigation, he de cided that an inquest was unnecessary. The body was brouiht to the undertak ing rooms of R. L. Ilolman in this city where Dr. Carll made a caretul exam ination to see if there remained any sign of life. Deciding that there was none the body was prepared for burial and sent to Portland, where he lived, on a special car on ThursJav morning. Carl Perham was one of four brothers who lived with their mother in East Portland, and he and his brothers bad been at work for some time in and about this city, where he had formed quite a pleasant acquaintance, as he was a very pleasant and genial young man of good habits and character. His death is deeply regretted by all who knew him. Schosl Notice.

Goer, who Is closely watching the hop market writes as follows con cerning the practice of consigning hops: "Tho most ridiculous thing that grow ers can do, In my opinion, Is to let deal ers huve their ln to ship, I lie grower to have the going price at soino future day, between now and the Inst of Octo ber. They ought to be able to seo that they are only furnishing the dealer and brewer just that amount of hops with which to beat down the market, and If any considerable number would do that the dealer hsd as well olfer 12 cents as twice that amount. These ho go to the brewer and they have them to use andean stay out of the maiket that much longer, while the oor deluded grower is vainly hoping to see the price get hotter, so he can have a chauce to name a good figure. The "hand to mouth" policy of the buyer Is thus helped on by the grower that is condemning it, and the price is kept down on him with the help of his own hops. Fortunately there are few of them doing It, but there are a few ; but if all were to do that, the brewer would get the hops and the grower would take what they were willing to give him. It is a good dual like going off and tolling the dealer to go to your hop house aud take the hops and give you what he thought you ought to have." Lost. Last Saturday, between the Baty place and Ely's store a pocket day book and ledger with my name in each, and two pass books from E. E.

Johnson the tall term ot school will own next Monday at which time the new school building will be occupied for the first time. The school board has a notice in the paper relative to the classification which it would be well for all patrons of the school to make a note of. It might also be well for parents who have child ren wuu wish io truer me chart or begin ning class to bear in mind the fact that in the two years past the overcrowded condition of the schools during the year has prevented the formation of a chart class after the opening of the term. It is, therefore, desireable that all who are to enter that and other classes should do so the firet day of the school year.

Shaw tested about one third of one and found that it consumed about one fourth of a pint of water.

Hehm. an exterienced brick layer who has taken the contract for luy- ing them, says that they will stand both near uiiu mruin an rigni anil mat they should be as good in 20 years as when laid.
