CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Putties deslrlns offices In The Orecon 3an building, may Inquire of Portland Trust Company of Orecoa. 2Zo. 123 First street, or the superintendent In the build ing TlEiNnrAHT's Last Hope Gone. The af firmation of the judgment of the lower court by the supreme Judges on Monday casts away the last straw to which clung Herman Tteinhart, the dishonest book keeper of DIttenhoefer, Haas & Co., and he must now serve his sentence of three Sears in the penitentiary, after lighting for months to avoid incarceration. The only escape open to him now is an ex ecutive pardon, but unless Governor Pen noyer included him yesterday in his usual Tuesday list, Reinhart cannot even hope for such clemency, as today the pardon ing power passes beyond the control of Pennoyer. The attorneys of Jtelnhart made a stubborn defense for their client, exhausting every form of law to save him from going to the penitentiary. The prosecution established the fact that the embezzling bookkeeper had defrauded his employers out of over $9000 by falsifications, and nearly one year ago, February 19, 2.S9I, he was sentenced to the penitentiary for three ears. Mr. Henry McGinn, ope of the counsel assisting in the prosecution, in making his argument before the su preme court, in clong, said: "The de fendant is entitled to Httle sympathy and consideration. From a salary of 5123 a month received at the time of entering the fcervice of his employers, he was by them EraJually raised, until at the time of quitting their service he was in receipt of a salary of $225 a month. Poverty can not therefore be urged by him in pallia tion of his offense. The kindness shown to him by his employers he repaid by Fteallng their money. The conclusion is Irresistible that in all he did he was governed by a cool, crafty and designing mind." Extehts With Dice. There are two men of sportive inclinations, hailing from the East, a'h.d now making a tour of the Pacific coast, who will sooner or later turn up In Portland for the purpose of capturing the few dollars that the local fc-porting fraternity still call their own. These Eastern gamesters make a ppe tialty of "crap-shootlng" and dlce-throwv jng. and have been doing a lucrative busi ness wherevar they go. A few days ago they "threw down" the leader of the sporting fraternity at Spokane for $3800, and the man is still wondering how the trick was done. Only one of the men han dles the di;c, and the way he does it Js Bald to be a caution. His partner is the money man, and bets any amount he can get that ihe other will throw a certain number every time the dice are twirled, and he almost invariably wins. The Spo kane sportsman has always prided him self on being too keen to be caught, but the Eastern operators were too much for 3iim. After making the clean-up the couple left Spokane for the Sound to take In the bloods of that section and the legislative members. They are expected to be In Portland in due time, but the fact that "craps" are under the ban here, nd the opening up of any such game is Jlkely to be followed by a fine in the mu nicipal court, may prevent the Eastern professionals giving an exhibition of their r: pertne&5, both in throwing dice and n inning a little sure money. As Appem, for Aid. Letters have been j-eceived in Portland appealing for aid for the sufferers in the late terrible calamity at Silver Lake, Lake county. There ap pears now to be much destitution, and it "will not be long before the community is in dire need unless prompt measures for relief arc taken. Forty persons were "burned to death Christmas evening out of a very small community, and the entire energies of every person in that vicinity s--Inco that time has been devoted to bury ing the dead, caring for the many who -were Injured and for the destitute. As a rule, the seople in that country are but meagerly provided with this world's goods, and. though the residents of Lakevlew and Paisley and all neighboring places 3ia e done everything in their power, their means are not sufficient. Many kind per sons from these places have gone to the tvrene of the disaster, and have remained there ever since, doing what they can. Some of these people are not able to re main longer, and are compelled to appeal for oustidc help. It is probable that no disaster of the kind has ever before in the United States so completely broken vp a small community as this Sliver Lake Hiorrer. It is not necessary to dwell upon the rituatiou. It Is winter at Silver Lake. The people are destitute, and they sorely need help. The Orogonlan will receive subscriptions at its business ofllce, ac Icnowledge them in its columns and for ward them to Silver J-ake. MiRACCijQrs Escape. Mr. Arthur IBennett. formerly of Alblna. who for the past two months has been hauling wood for the Oregon Fertilizer Company at the rematory. having finished his contract, Ktartcd for Portland with his team, lead ing one horse behind the wagon, yester day. W hen about half way across the iirst bridge south of the ciematory, with out warning, the bridge fell. Mr. Ben s eft. horses, wagon and crosscut saws went down all iu a heap. One horse was instantly killed. Its mate will probably die. but the one being led was not in jured. Mr. Bennett received some severe bruises, and was injured in his back, but to what extent cannot be ascertained at present. The timbers fell some SO feet and completely rlnloned Mr. Bennett to lho ground. It is a wonder he was not a!so killed. The brldK is the one on which a laborer was killed while it was being built. Mr. Bennett crossed on this bridge Friday night, and supposed it was all nght. Mr. Bennett and his wife came i P on the steamer I-a Camas yesterday. Bp.eakiso Into Jail. Thomas ltyan, a r"tty thief, arrested on Monday night for Mealing r. pair of shoes, was found gullty in the municipal court yesterday and sent to the county jail for six months. Ryan is one of a class of people who try to Vreak Into Jail during the winter months, thus being assured of regular meals and comfortable quarters. They are careful i-ot to be oaught violating a city ordl rar.ee, as conviction for this would moan v.ork on the rockplle. white incarceration n th county jail is not Incumbered with ar.j such disagreeable features. Grsrci. Mbstin'os. The evangelistic scrxices held m the First Congregational ch-rch. corner of Park and Madison ttrects. last week, will be resumed tonight. A t horus choir, accompanied by an orches tra, will giv? spirited music, and Rev. Dr. allace will give one of his plain, prac t al and intensely earnest talks.

The festival of San Xln, or Chinese Xew Tear, will com mence this year on the evening of Janu ary 2i, and the members of the Celestial colony are now busily engaged in prepar ing for a proper observance of the event. In a general way, the Chinese have not much to be thankful for. "With the Japs scurrying over their country, capturing and killing thousands of their country men; with hard times staring them in the face, and an utter inability to pay what they owe. It does not promise to be a very happy new year. The time-honored cus tom of settling up al outstanding ac counts will be more honored in the breach than observance this year, as merchant or coolie cannot get blood from a turnip any more than others who are hanging on the ragged edge, hoping the future has better things in store. The observance of the annual festival, while it will be gen eral among the Chinese, will be made con spicuous only by the economy shown in its observance. Death op Jonx A. Child. Mr. John A. Child, for a number of years a resident of Portland, died yesterday at the insane asylum at Salem, at which institution he had been confined for some time. Mr. Child came to Portland from Shelbyville. Ind., about 11 years ago, and was en gaged in the drug business for most of that time. He was one of the promoters of the Franklin Building & Loan Asso ciation, and president of the organization for many years. Several years ago he re tired from active business, and his health, which had been failing for some time, became so shattered that his mental fac ulties were 'mpaired to such extent as to cause his removal to the asylum. During his residence in Portland Mr. Child made many friends, who will regret to learn of his death. Two Sisters Become Citizens. Johanna Burri. a Catholic eistar from Mount Angel, was admitted to citizenship yesterday by Judge Stearns. She is a native of Switzer land, 27 years of age, and was made a citizen on making affidavit that she came to the United States three years prior to her 21st birthday. This complies with tho statute. Witnesses testified that Sis ter Burri came to this country 10 years ago. Georgie Armheim, of Switzerland, declared her intentions of beeoming a citi zen yesterday in the county court. She is also a sister. Sent to the Astlxtji. Eston Buffington was examined by the county judge and Dr. V. H. Saylor yesterday and ordered committed to the Insane asylum.

Gasklll was recovered from the river yesterday morning by R. B. Curtis, and removed to the morgue. Gas klll lived on a scow at the foot of East Oak, and Mr. Curtis lived a short dis tance away. Monday night Curtis heard a splash in the water, and yesterday morning he went to Gaskill's home and found it empty. He immediately searched for the remains, and, after working sev eral hours, recovered the body. Gasklll was 70 years old, and has resided in Port land for some time, being very well known. He was a carpenter by trade, but has not worked at the business for some .tlme..JKeTJborc.a good, reputation.. The drowning was doubtless an accident. Ail Alleged. Animal t. E. C. Loomis, captain of the Stark-street ferry, wa6 tried before Justice Bullock yesterday on a charge of assault on E. M. Sargent, alleged to have been com- J mitted January 9, while the steamer was about the middle of the Willamette river. The arrest was made several days ago, and the trial deferred in the expectation the difficulty would be settled, but no settlement was reached. The small steam er Stephens was being operated in place of the big ferry. According to the testi mony of the prosecution, Mr. Sargent re mained outside the cabin when the steam er left the West Side landing, until re quested by the captain to go inside, which be finally did. As the steamer n eared the center of the river Mr. Sargent was at the front door of the cabin looking out. Ixxmiis came along and seeing Mr. Sar gent, remarked, "You're out again, are you." He then gave Mr. Sargent a vio lent push backward into the cabin, and he collided with others in the cabin. This action caused Mr. Sargent great indigna tion. The defense moved to dismiss the action on the ground that the justice had no jurisdiction, as the assault alleged was committed, if committed at all, in the Willamette river, and the justice court had no jurisdiction over the defendant. The motion was not allowed, and the de fense introduced testimony denying the assault. Justice Bullock took the case un der advisement to investigate his Jurisdic tion. A great many cases of assault have been before the justices' courts when the offenses were committed on the ferries, but the question of jurisdiction had never been raised before. At Station C. The affairs of the new postal station C. at Sunnysidc, have not been running very smoothly since it was started, and people have not been getting their mail as promptly as before it was established. It is great territory the carrier has to cover, and he cannot get over it in one day. At least Ihe people say he does not get around more often than once In two days. It is no fault of the single carrier, who is trying to do the work of twe. There are no improved streets east of East Twentieth, the houses are not close together, and the carrier must travel long distances to deliver the mail. Besides all the district east of East Twentieth, he must come west to East Fourteenth street, and cover territory which properly be longs to Station A. Stationmaster Patter son stated yesterday he is doing the best he can, but that the carrier is overloaded. The superintendent of the carrier service has been investigating, and a change will be made for the better. Either another carried will be put in the Sunny side dis trict, or the territory reduced. It was not expected that everything would work smoothly for some time. People will have to learn to have their mail directed to their house numbers, and, if they have no numbers, will have to provide them. Engineer Scott Injure.. C. S. Scott, chief engineer at the pump ing station of the East Side city water works, met with a serious accident yes terday. WhHe wheeling a truck-load e-f wood down an incline from the rear of the engine-house to the engine-rooms, Mr. Scott's feet slipped from under hlra, and the heavy load of wood and truck fell on top of him. injuring him seriously. Dr. Dave Rafferty was called and attended his injuries. He will be kept from his duties for some time. Mr. Snawisc, formerly en gineer for the city, will attend to Mr. Scott's duties pending his recovery. A ev CousrreKTitlonnI ciiurcli. The new Congregational church, which has been under construction for several months on East Thirty-fourth street. Sun Hysidc, is nearing completion. Although not entirely finished, the congregation has moved into the structure, and is now using It for public worship. It is a well arranged and commodious building, ami. when completed throughout, will liave cost about $6000. It has two apartments an auditorium and a Sunday-school room. The auditorium will seat comfort ably 203 people, and the Sunday-school will accommodate about the same num ber. By arrangement of folding doors, the two apartments may be thrown into oae room, large enough to accommodate 690 people. Rev. Mr. Staub, the pastor, has worked energetically in building up the church at Sunnyslde, and is greatly grat ified to see the new church edifice so near completion. The dedication of the new structure will take place in about a month. Miscellaneous Xotcx. Miss Edith Kemp, who has been attend ing the Stephens school, is suffering from a serious attack of brain fever. She was a bright pupil, and her mates and teachers hope to see her soon restored to health. INCIDENTS OF THE FIRE More Detail of the Trasredy. Silver Lake The following incidents attending the horrible holocaust at Silver Lake are given by the Lakeview Examiner: It is known that three men. who had made their escape, went into the burning building to save some relative and were never seen again. Clay Martin came out with T. J. Labrie's child in his arms, but ; seeing that his wife was not there, he started back. Several people tried to keep him out. but he pushed in, with the child still in his arms, saying: "I am going1 to save 'Becky,' " his wife. He and the child were not seen again. Wood Hurst, familiarly known as "Senator" Hurst, who had recently been married, could not find his wife outside, and, not withstanding the many entreaties to stay out, he went back to save her. He was lost. Frank Ross did the same. His mother was inside and he wanted to save her. Without a doubt each one of these men blocked the narrow passage and pre vented others from getting out. Mrs. Dr. Owsley and her sister, Mrs. Snelling, when last seen were kneeling side by side, pray ing fervently as if they knew it was their last moment on earth. Others were seen to be running aimlessly about, seemingly dazed, and might have escaped had the; not lost their presence of mind. During the heat of the fire the front doors of the store were broken in and Cope West and others tried, with a large piece of wood, to punch holes up through the floor, thinking some might escape that way, but without success. Xot a breath of air stirred, and the flames and smoke curled up through the roof in one large column, high into the air, which could be seen for miles around. Xone of the buildings close at hand was burned, and the ashes of the single building mark the spot of the most terrible scene ever witnessed on this side of the globe, according to the population. It will long be remembered as one of the worst happenings in the annals of his tory, and will never be forgotten by those who escaped the terrible death. It is strange how so many conflicting reports were scattered over the country. We have seen many that were similar to the following, from the Adin Argus, all of which are far from the truth: "As au thentic reports of the casualty reach us, the more heartrending it appears. The rush of the people ou the hall floor caused it go down in the center, leav ing it V-!shaped and rendering it impos sible to get the people out of the pit thus formed, except by pulling them, with a rope, up through a hole in the roof. This task was done by a brave young man (a tough case he was called before), who stood on the roof and pulled up burning women and children until the roof finally fell in. and he was carried to eternlty wlth the other 41 victims. The catastrophe is a most horrible picture to think of." THE CITY SCHOOLS. Report of Superintendent Pratt for the 31untli Ending- January 1-1.

Miss Kate Barclav has filed a petition to the county court to be allowed the sum of S10W as damages, and for the use of her property at the west end of the suspension bridge. The north cable of the bridge is 10 inches in upon Miss Barclay's lot. and the longi tudinal bars, or anchor, of the cable, ex tend nearly 10 feet further. She claims this to be a perpetual menace to the en joyment of her freehold. The matter will come before the county court tomor row.

MARQUAM GRAND Mr. Thomas Keene, in "Merchant of Venice." Tonight. CORDRAY'S Pyke Opera Co., in "Tar and Tartar." Tonight. Mr. Thomas Keene and his company of players presented "Richard III." at the Marquam Grand last night to an audience that comfortably filled the parquet and crowded the dress-circle and gallery. Mr. Keene's impersonation of the treacherous and ambitious Duke of Gloster, as pic tured in Shakespeare's historical chron icles, is his masterpiece. As he has con quered the character that has proved a stumbling block to so many eminent tragedians, so he captured the audience who witnessed his performance last night. The gallery gods are always admirers of King Richard, and the manner in which they demonstrated their approval of Mr. Keene's creation could leave no doubt in the minds of the listener that he has filled their ideal, and gallery gods are excellent critics. Mr. Keene appears to have fully recovered from his throat troubles, for his voice last night was clear and his enunciation distinct, and every word he uttered could be) heard distinctly in every portion of the ouse. Unquestionably Mr. Keene is the great est Gloster on the American stage today. He comes nearer to the popular conception of that of Mr-rryde. of English' his tory, than any inpdern-sehool exponent of histrionic art, for his impersonation of the character is portrayed with the power of genius that does not hesitate at bodily and facial contortion. Mr. Keene's Rich ard is, indeed, himself tortuous in plot ting, false in protestation, subtle In soph istry, tenacious of purpose, and memor able for the accomplishment of his wicked designs. The sublime hyprocrlsy and unconquerable ambition of that murder ous tyrant in his wooing of the widowed princess while she still lingers by the bier of her dead husband, is so faithfully por trayed by Mr. Keene that he must be a marble-hearted spectator who looks on understanding '.vlthout experiencing a revulsion of feeling that causes him to turn, with horror, from that misshapen figure. Mr. Keene's Richard is original in that he does not attempt to imbue the character with any touch of that nobility which is often thought to be inseparable from a prince through whose veins courses royal blood. The Richards of Barrett and McCullough were thus im bued, and the defect was to discernible as to meet with popular disfavor. Booth, in his younger days, was a fine Gloster, but he disliked the character, and rarely appeared in it. Mr. Keene's conception of the character Is his own. From the moment the curtain is drawn aside to dis close the solitary figure of the misshapen Third A Clean Stock, Complete. Every Article in The House Econom leal Pur chasers Delineator and Butterjck's SnaJi prince, more frightful still as he writhes In hatred and gives voice to his revenge ful plots, until the closing battle scene, when, despairing of victory, he cries, "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse," he loses his personality entirely. It requires wonderful physical strength and endurance to portray the character of Richard as Bhakespeare created it, and the conscientious work of Mr. Keene last night showed that he is the same vigor ous actor and consummate actor as of old. The pleasure of last night's perform ance was very much enhanced by the ex cellent support of Mr. Keene's company. Miss Downs" portrayal of Lady Anne was really very fine, and Miss Beaman ap peared to advantage as Elizabeth. Miss Lawrence was a shapely prince, and her reading of the few lines set down for the part indicated power. In the first act Mr. Eagleson. as Henry VI, made a good Impression and was frequently applauded. His portrayal of the broken-hearted king, particularly in the death scene in the tower, was of exceptional merit. The Richmond of Mr. Henning was clever. The York of a child actress billed as Miss Black was a wonderfully pretty piece of acting, particularly the mimicking of the deformed Gloster's shambling walk. "Merchant of Venice" is the bill for to night. What is really good tea? "Blue Cross" Ceylon tea. Why is it advertised? Be cause the people ought to know about it.
