CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Parties desiring offices in The Oregon Ian building; may Inquire of Portland Trust Company of Oregon. Ko. 123 First street, or the superintendent in the build ing. Majob-Gzxehax. O. O. Howard Is the last of that brilliant galaxy of command ers -who fought the great conflict to a fin ish and demonstrated that our country was one great nation, from -which no portion, however small, could be torn. Himself a prominent actor in the bloody drama, and well acquainted -with all the leading parts, the story of "Grant at Chattanooga," as it will fall from his lips next Tuesday evening at the White Tem ple, will possess a fascinating Interest. Back Fbou the East. Mr. John Brig ham has returned from a two months visit to friends In BInghamton. X. Y. He saw there Sir. Ban Holton, a former resident of this city, who is living with his relatives, and is In good health and spir its and comfortably situated. He also met Mr. E. C. Leonard, of this city, who is wintering in New York. Mr. Brigham is delighted with Bull Run water, which he pays Is far ahead of that supplied to any Eastern city. Some one remarked in his presence that the works had cost a large sum, to which Mr. Brigham replied that the water supplied was worth all it cost, and was something for the city to boast of, and that the building of these works was the best thing ever done by the city. The only persons injured by Bull Bun water, he said, are the dealers In Alters, as no filter made can improve this water. This is evident from the appearance of the water, and is proven by a bottle of it brought from Bull Run five years ago. which stands in the office of the water committee as clear, bright and sweet as when just brought In. Book Compani Wins. A dispatch In The Oregonian from Salem yesterday stated that the state board of education had canvassed the vote of superintendents and others qualified to vote for new school text books, and that there were very few changes. The result is nearly a complete victory for the American Book Company. No books whatever of any other company were adopted. In six Instances there was no chance, and In one instance only did another company receive a higher vote than the American Bcok Company. There was no choice In this. In five of the six instances the book company had by far tho largest vote. Where there has been no choice, the books receiving the two highest votes are to bo resubmitted to the superintendents and another vote taken. There seems to be no reason to doubt that the book cempany will be suc cessful in most, if not all, the remaining cases. The official vote, canvassed Tues day, has not been announced. One More Relic Found. A brass watch Is among Uie relics dregded up from the vicinity of the "wreck of the old French brig Due de Lorges, near the foot of Burnsldo street. It was discovered and secured by the engineer of the dredge, who says the machinery in it Is all right, but the hull la badly corroded and it has stopped. This is not to be wondered at, as the watch has been at the bottom of the Willamette nearly half a century, and there were no self-winding watches when it was made. It is now learned from good authority that the Due de Lorges was not laden with liquors, but had a lot of flour on board when she sank. From the -difficulty experienced In. securingany cor- TectMnfofmation in regard to the wrecking of this ship, which occurred within the memory of many yet living here, it is evident that" but little confidence can be placed In anything written a few hundred years after the matters narrated oc curred. Aid to Germans. The German Aid So ciety held Its annual meeting Tuesday. The reports of its officers show that the affairs of the society were well managed. True to its principal object, which is the relief of poor Germans, there was spent during the past year the amount of 5947 23, principally for groceries, rent and cloth ing in aid of poor families. During the 24 years of its existence the total amount so spent was $13,909 41. The present member ship is 157, and, in view of the large Ger man population In this city, it is desirable that the membership should Increase ten fold, in order to extend the benefits to all needy Germans. The following officers were elected for the present year: Presi dent, Adolph Burkhardt; vice-president, Peter Wagner; secretary, C. Blrcher; treasurer, IL Claussenlus; trustees, C. H. Meussdorffer, Otto Kleemann, John Matthlesen; school directors, Henry Wag ner, Dr. A. J. Sporry. A Doa Too Intelligent. A gentleman who has an Insurance office on Washing ton street, and who Is the owner of a very Intelligent dog, has spent consider able time In training the animal, which has now acquired such sagacity that when he goes Into a store ind his owner calls his attention to any poi table article the dog "catches on." When, after they have gono some distance away from the fetore. the Jog's owner tells him to go back and fetch It, the dog goes back and fetches tho article pointed out to him. This trick shows oil the intelligence and training of the dog admirably, but the friends of the owner of that dog fear that it may result in the dog being arrested and his master Involved as particeps crim Inis. Brown Acquitted. Mr. R. Brown, who was employed in decorating the Exposi tion building for the late universal ex position, was honorably acquitted In the municipal court yesterday. He was charged with stealing a lot of glasses used In Illusions by W. W. Brackett, but when the trial came off there was not a particle of evidence to Implicate him in tho crime, while the testimony of wit nesses showed that the property had never been stolen. It was so evidently a piece of spltework that Judge Smith taxed the costs-$12 CO-to Brackett. Mr. Brown was defended by Mr. E. Roy Allen, recently admitted to the bar. Tun Wrong Portland. Those who imagine that nothing is known of this city In the East are evidently mistaken. A bill from an Eastern publishing firm for $60 was recently sent out to the school board here for payment. School Clerk Allen refused to pay It, and, upon ex amination. 5s was found that the bill was owed by the school board of Portland, Conn. The publishing firm in question lias possibly heard of the reckless lavish ness, in regard to paying bills, displayed by tho school board of this city, and thought It would make no objections to a bill for $99. Gospel Meetings. A very interesting series of meetings began in the new house of worship of the First Congrega tional ohurch, corner of Park and Madl bon streets, last Monday evening, and are constantly Increasing in interest. The at tendance last evening was the largest of the week so far. Excellent music is pro vided, and tho talks by Dr. Wallace, Gen eral Howard and others are of a prac tical character. A cordial Invitation is extended to everybody to be present to night and tomorrow night. Saloon Mbn Slow. The saloon men have been coming to the front rather slowly to pay their licenses. It Is sup posed that there t 111 be 303 licenses taken out. but. although this is the last day of grace allow od. only 134 have been Issued. There will probably be a rash to eecure licenses today, but It Is likely that some The Pi.uunn.-G Perfect. The plumbing In the new city hall was tested yesterday under the personal supervision of Plumb-" ing Inspector E. J. Floyd, to ascertain if there were any leaks or defects in the pipes or traps, by means of which sewer, gas might be Introduced Into the building. The peppermint test was applied. It was the first instance of the kind in the city. All know what a powerful and penetrat ing odor essence of peppermint possesses, the least drop in or about a room being at once perceptible. All the traps In the building having been sealed, Mr. Floyd mounted to the roof, armed with 80 ounces of peppermint, and down each of the eight stacks of vent and soil pipes he poured 10 ounces of the subtle essence. After each dose followed a bucket of hot water. Then an inspection of every room In the building was made by Architect Whidden, and not a trace of the smell of peppermint was found in any of them. The plumbing was therefore pronounced perfect, to the great satisfaction of Con tractor Church, as well as Mayor Frank and the various city officials who will have offices in the building. Third-Street Business Property is better situated for investment than any other In the city, provided the location Is above the recent flood and in the direction the retail business is extending. Such property will pay well to Improve, as money can be borrowed on it at the low est rate of Interest The rents obtainable are the highest paid. Particular attention should therefore be given to very cheap property situated on the southeast cor ner of Third and Salmon streets, being lot 8, in block 24, 50x100 feet, which F. V. An drews & Co. will sell for not less than $25,000. by public auction at the court house door at 2 P. M. on Friday next, the 11th day of January, 1S93, by order of the county court, on behalf of Mr. A. McKin nie, aa executor of the -will of Ida M. Mc Klnnie, deceased. Fifteen thousand dol lars of the purchase money can remain as mortgage, and very easy terms can be ar ranged for the payment of the balance. For further Information apply to the agents at 131 Third street. Bowker Is at Lieertt. Charles A. Bowker was yesterday released on ball In the sum of ?500. A statement yesterday that Bowker was In the penitentiary was an error. His imprisonment has extended over a period of 23 months, and has all been served In the county jail. Bowker was sentenced, after his conviction, to 10 years In the penitentiary, but was not sent there, as his case was appealed to the supreme court for a new trial, and pending this decision Bowker expressed as his preference that he be permitted to remain In the county jail, and it was so ordered. It was once the rule to keep all persons convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary in the county jail, until a decision from the supreme court was reached, where appeal was made. Now they are frequently sent to the peniten tiary, and brought back If a new trial is ordered. Where bonds are allowable and can be provided, exceptions are made. Want to Be Repaid. Mr. A. S. McAl lister and Hugh Glen, of The Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation Company, are in the city. The gentlemen are en gaged In settling up the business of the company for the past year, and will go to Salem today to Interview the state board on company affairs. Owing to the high water last summer, a portion of the state portage road was washed out, and the navigation company, at its own expense, rebuilt the road, and also constructed an entirely new landing at the west ap proach. They will ask the state board to recommend that their company be reim bursed for the outlay of money expended, as all the work was done for the benefit of the state road. Last op the Old Cathedral. The old Cathedral building at Third and Stark streets is in process of rapid demolition. The interior is pretty well torn out, and yesterday the stone steps at the entrance were "being removed, and at the same time a gang of workmen commenced tear ing off the ornamental -work about the tower. Messrs. WIn&low & Stewart have the contract for tearing out the carpen ter work, and also for doing the carpen ter work on the building to be erected In Its place. Messrs. Brigham & Seed have a contract to tear the old building down and to build a two-story office-building with the material. It will take about a month to tear down the present struc ture. Where Is Nat Blum? Nothing is heard nowadays in regard to further action in the great opium-smuggling cases, and no one seems to know what has become of Nat Blum. It is likely nothing more will be heard of the smuggling cases until the United States supreme court has de cided on matters arising out of them which have been referred to It. As Mr. William Dunbar is interested in some of these decisions, it Is hardly probable that he will be able to get his business in the Orient fixed up so as to allow of his re turning1 here until he has learned what the decision in his case is. Odd Fellows Installation. On Tues day evening, January 8, Horace Smith, D. D. G. P., installed the officers of El lison encampment. No. 1, I. O. O. F., as follows: E. B. Crosby, C. P.; F. Cousins, H. P.; H. M. Beckwlth, S. W.; S. Gouty, scribe; A. G. Walling, treasurer; P. W. Stewart, J. W.; George Henry. O. S.; Thomas Hodlnson, I. S.; Alex Harper, guide; O. C. Blaney, first watchman; J. Raybor, second watchman; C. Wlllets, third watchman: H. M. Wilson, fourth watchman. The encampment expects to give an entertainment In the near future. More Bank Officers. The board of di rectors of the Alnsworth National bank met yesterday and organized by electing the following officers: L. .L. Hawkins, president; W. K. Smith, vice-president; J. P. Marshall, cashier. The stockholders of the Merchants National bank held an adjourned meeting yesterday and elected the following board of directors: J. Frank Watson, C M. Wlberg, W. C. Johnson, George W. Hoyt, James Steel, H. F. Mc Elroy, Ralph W. Hoyt. For a New Fence. The council com mittee on parks has decided to recommend to the council that a row of iron posts, con nected by chains, be placed around the plaza blocks. This Improvement, while not Interfering with the view of anything which may be worth looking at on the property, will have a tendency to check the pasturing of horses there, and In some slight degree protect the plazas from being overrun by cattle, as In the past. A Delicate Operation. Yesterday fore noon Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie, assisted by Dr. H. E. Jones, performed an operation on John M. Henderson, an O. R. &. N. Co. engineer, and removed his vermiform ap pendix. Mr. Henderson was under the in fluence of chloroform for an hour while the operation was being performed. He has been suffering much of late, and the appendix was found to be badly Inflamed and matterated. More Plumbers Examined. The time of the board of examination for plumbers was fully aken up In examining five ap plicants yesterday. Some of them were not very well Informed, and were not able to readily tell what they knew, and so had to go through a lengthy and vigorous course of questioning. Results will be made known later. Roofs. Property-owners who will find It necessary to repair or reroof their buildings after this storm, will save money and future trouble and annoyance by having J. C. Bayer and the Portland Ashphaltum Company do their work, tha oldest established and most reliable metal and composition roofers In the city. Tele phone, 4SL Paid to the State. The 5148,000 in debtedness due to the state by the county was reduced during the month of No vember by the payment of $15,000 taken from the counts fund. Last month a pay ment to the state from the county fund of J50W was made. Going to Astoria. The boats going to Astoria -forTthe past three days have been crowded with capitalists and contractors, and tha hotels in that city are now said to be filled to overflowing. The cause of all this rush of representatives of capital and labor to Astoria is that the city Is to sell a lot of water) bonds and let a contract for excavating for a reservoir and pipe line today. The number of persons from this city who went down to bid on the reser voir contract is very large, and includes many who have never bid on such con tracts before. The amount of excavation to be let is about 150,000 cubic yards. Where Is Fred B. Moore? The car riers in the postoffice at Peabody, Mass., have written to the carriers in the Port land postoffice to ascertain the address of Fred B. Moore, whose mother Is very anxious about him. Moore Is supposed to have left Hood River for Portland about December 1, and to have been looking for a job at shipcarpenterlng here. Any one knowing anything of Mr. Moore cr his whereabouts will please Inform any car rier in the postoffice here and confer a favor on the anxious mother, who is in doubt as to the fate of her son. Roads in Good Shape. Yesterday the county commissioners met In regular ses sion and transacted routine business. To day bills will be audited. The commis sioners state that the late storm has not damaged the county roads or bridges to any extent. A few trees came down, but nothing has happened more serious. Week op Prater Services. The week of prayer services at the First Presby terian church are developing much Inter est. The large chapel is crowded every night. This evening Dr. Brown will preach. There will also be a service to morrow evening. Everybody invited. The Messiah. Armory hall, January 16. Tickets, $1. Sale commences Friday, Jan uary 11, 10 A. M.

EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Condition o Fruit Trees The Free Ferry in Good Shape. While there has been considerable dam age done to fruit trees east of the city. It is not so bad nor as widespread as re ported. Mr. A. H. McCulloch was in from Gresham yesterday, and he stated, quite positively, that fruit trees in that neigh borhood are not damaged to any great extent. Mr. McCulloch has a large or chard of prune trees, and he made a care ful examination, and, outside of a few broken limbs, they are In the best of condition. Other growers, he said, make the same report, and as far as he has been ablo to escertaln, the trees in that sec tion escaped serious injury. It sgems that the damage has been confined to locali ties on the north of Mount Tabor, and to the eastward on the Base Line, for a few miles. Chauncey Ball's fine prune orchard, on the north side of Mount Ta bor, Is badly damaged, 25 per cent of the entire orchard being destroyed. Mr. L. H. Lewis and Mr. Sullivan, who have or chards on the Base Line, report great damage to them. Mr. B. H. Bowman has 10 acres of prune trees, seven years old, 12 miles from the Stark-street ferry, and he was very anxious about them, but he received word yesterday that the trees are In perfect condition. Mr. Bowman has also 15 acres of young trees In the same locality, which are all right. He thinks there Is very little actual damage, and what has occurred will be found in ex posed places where the cold wind had full sweep. His trees on the Base Line are protected by the rise In the land south of Troutdale. His theory seems to be borne out by reports from fruitgrowers. Committees Elected. , At a meeting of the East Side Athletic and Social Club, last evening, the working committees of the organization were elected, as follows: Committee on ath letics, J. W. Altstock, chairman; J. Fay and A. J. Powell. This comm.lttee will have charge of all the athletic games In which the club may take part, and ar range for the dates. Auditing committee, H. G. Knott, chairman; D. Parellus and J. S. McCord. This committee will exam ine and audit all bills before being acted on by the board of directors. House com mittee, R. Carse, chairman; W. Adams and G. J. Smith. Members of these im portant committees were selected with regard to special fitness for the duties. Several typewritten copies of the new by laws have been secured, and the club Is fairly launched on the new term. Bis Ferry This Morning. The big boat of the Stark-street ferry will be started up this morning in place of the small John L. Stephens. The change is made, Mr. Knott stated yes terday evening, for the reason It will carry more people, and can be operated much cheaper than the Stephens. It has been reported the small boat was run be cause It was more cheaply operated than the big one. The East Side pontoon Is not ready yet, and teams will not be able to cross the ferry until it is repaired. It Is expected that It will be In shape so that vehicles can be crossed on the ferry tomorrow. A tally of the number of pas sengers carried on the Stephens was kept yesterday till 6:30. and the number was 3000. The boat made trips every six min utes. He May Recover. There are prospects that J. D. West, of Stephens' addition, who was so terribly Injured by an explosion of powder at the government works at Marshfield, Coos county, several months ago, will recover. An account of the accident appeared In The Oregonian at the time. Mr. West Is a member of Fealty lodge No. 109, I. O. O. F., and has been under the care of the lodge ever since the accident occurred, although still at Marshfield. Information was received yesterday that the outlook for his recoverj' Is regarded as favorable, although he Is still very feeble and has not fully recovered his senses. It will be remembered that Mr. West was employed In the stone works south of East Clay street. They Were Probably Amateurs. The two would-be burglars, who at tempted to hold up F. C. Werfe, at his store on East Grant and East Eighth street, Tuesday evening, were evidently amateurs In the business. Mr. Lester, of the firm, stated, yesterday, that several days ago a stranger called at the store and wanted to sell some potatoes, but the man evidently had nothing to sell and was probably there to examine the prem ises. Mr. Lester thinks they must have been green hands In such work. Yester day morning a mask and a light overcoat were found In W. W. Terry's yard on East Eighth street, where they had been thrown by one of the burglars, as he ran that way In his effort to make his escape. Postal Station C. Station-master Patterson, of Sunnyslde's new postal delivery station C, Is strug gling energetically with the difficulties in cident to inaugurating the new work in that section. The storm made the initial work specially difficult for the carrier, but he managed to get around at least once a day with the mail. People without numbers on their houses are supplying the deficiency as fast as possible. The work of locating everybody in the district is necessarily slow, but In a short time everything In connection with the new sta tion will be working smoothly and har moniously. Telephones and Alarms Reitoretl. Assistant Chief Donaldson was greatly relieved yesterday evening when the tele phone and electric alarm system were fully restored. It has been a very trying season for the assistant chief. Both the telephone and electric alarm systems were paralyzed by the storm, and he was com pelled to be exceedingly watchful, and. in. fact, the whole EastLSldfciTiranch of the department had to-be- oa-the alert. For a considerable portion of the nights the chemical engine was ket moving Jn the central portion and oratlywatch for fires It was fortunate ncreg occurred. Hossalo-Street Oiwreh Meeting-. The annual meeting Jf the Hassalo street Congregationar ctturch was held Tuesday evening inlthe church parlors. The pastor, Rev. C. ,H. jJGurtis. presided, with Walter Coot as clerk. The treas urer reported the sopetyp free from debt, and a balance In the treasury. The fol lowing new officers Were elected: Dea cons, Messrs. McKercher, Plympton, Boynton, Morrow; trustees, Messrs. Tane, Whally, McCoy; clerk;' Walter Cook; treasurer, Joseph Scott: ttsrelcome commit tee, Edward F. Sherman, chairman. Miscellaneous" Notes. Mr. M. Altstock, who received a severe stroke of paralysis several weeks ago, is able to be on the street, although he is still feeble from the attack. At a meeting of Fidellty lodge No. 4, A. O. U. W., last night, resolutions in memory of the late, Philip Friedlander were unanimously adopted, and ordered spread on the minutek. The charter was ordered draped for one month out of re spect for the departed- "brother of the lodge. ! MURDER IN MARQUAM. 1 J. IV. Brown, of That District, Re ported Killed. OREGON CITY, Jan. 9. Late this after noon. Coroner Holman Tecelved a telegram from Justice J. E. Jack, of Marquam, saying that J. M. Brown, of that district, had been murdered, and asking the coro ner to come there immediately. The coro ner, accompanied by Sheriff Maddock and Deputy Prosecutor Campbell, left on this evening's train for Woodbtirn, and from there will drive to Marquam tomorrow morning. None of the particulars of the murder are obtainable here. The records show that James M. Brown owns 80,. acres of land about a mile southeast ward from Wllnolt springs, and it is sup posed he is the Brown who is murdered. He was a quiet. Inoffensive man, about 50 years of age, a Union pensioner, and is believed to have no family. The argument of the motion for a new trial In he Hess-Llebe case was opened immediately after noon today by H. M. Cake, who urged, as his principal points, the Insufficiency of the evidence to sup port the verdict; excessive damages due to prejudice and passion on the part of the jury, and errors of law during the trial. His argument occupied nearly three hours. Mr. McGinn opposed the motion, and Judge McArthur closed for the de fense about 6:30 o'clock, when Judge Mc Bride took the matter under advisement. Theodore Rubens, of Woodburn, set his satchel down outside the depot and stepped inside for a few seconds this even ing, and in those few seconds the satchel disappeared. Two men, suspected of hav ing taken it, were arrested and locked in th3 city jail. The satchel contained val uable papers and some wearing apparel. CORDRAY'S THEATRE. Tonight at this coszy place of amuse ment, the famous play, "The Clemenceau Case." will receive its initial production by The Charles Riggs Company. It is stated that Mr. Riggs, through the me dium of his talented company, will pre sent the original version of this famous play. He claims that before American adaptors distorted it to suit the perverted taste of a certain class of theater-goers, it contained more comedy and was not in any way objectionable. That his ver sion is successful was attested by the large audiences that assembled In Cor dray's family theaterat Seattle last week to see.it, Tho pres'sepmments were very fine and at length. Miss Rose Stillman is credited as be ing very artistic In her rendition of the difficult role of Iza, and In the famous model scene was highly complimented on her beauty and modest and delicate con ception of the part. The piece will run throughout the balance of the week, ex cept at the regular Saturday matinee, when "That Precious Baby," the comedy the company has been playing this week so successfully, will be substituted. m REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Ten deeds, aggregating $23S3, were filed for record yesterday with the county recorder, as follows: H.
