"Who "Was to Bumb?-Through a fatal,
mchangeable, concatenation of causes, a
Ine pair of horses belonging to an Albino
teamster named McKenna were killed at
ie Intersection of Gllsan and Twentieth
Jtreets yesterday. McKenna was hauling
aarth from a cellar in course of excaya-
lon. As his wagon was being loaded, a
in climbed a large tree In the grounds
)f Mrs. C. H. Lewis to cut off a limb,
rust as McKenna was driving his team
Lcross Gllsan street on his way down
rentleth the limb, which is about six
iches In diameter, fell, and, striking a
telephone wire, caused it to fall across a
live wire heavily loaded, and the slack
jf it struck the horses, the electric cur-
it passing through them to the ground.
rhe poor beasts were rendered helpless by
Itho shock, fell down and were dead in a
short time. Just what live wire the tele
phone wire fell across has not been defin
itely decided. Some say It was an electric-
light wire, and others that it was a trolley
wire. This question, as well as the ques
tion of responsibility for the accident, will
have to b decided in the courts prob
ably. If tho man had not cut off the limb,
the accident would not have happened, or
if the telephone wire or the other wire had
not been there, or better still, if the team
had not been there at the time, the acci
dent would not have hapened, but, as It is,
lr. McKenna is out a pair of horses, which
lis a. pity.
No Monet foe Fihb Departient. The
committee on ways and means met yes
terday and took under consideration the
application of the Fire Commissioners for
snore money to help defray the expenses
of their department for the current year.
Tho city Is not a bit like tho bravo old
chap of tho olden time who had "gold In
tooth pockets and silver in purse," and
ihas no money which appears to be avail
able to turn over to the Fire Commission
ers. There Is $13,000 In the hands of the
City Treasurer, derived from delinquent
taxes, to which the Commissioners have
lor had a string attached. City Attorney
lLong is of opinion that the Council can
properly turn this money over to the Fire
Commissioners. Auditor Gambell has
3een advised by prominent lawyers, that
this money cannot properly be turned over
to the Commissioners, and, therefore, re
fuses to make the transfer. He Is of opin
ion that should ho unlawfully turn over
this money, he would bo v2ld responsible
lor tho amount, while City Attorney Long
fls of opinion that he would not. Mr. Gam
bell is certain that he will not. If he does
not, and, therefore, doesn't The differ
ence of opinion between the Auditor and
the City Attorney on this particular sub
ject appears to be utterly irreconcilable.
(Meantime, the $13,000 remains in the hands
'of the Treasurer, and it will be useful
by and by.
RBoiSTRATioir Increabinq. The regis
tration of voters was proceeding at a lively
rate yesterday, 150 names having been
added to the record. This Is something
over the average, which Is about 125 per
day since tho books were opened. The
.smallest number registered in one day was
64. That was the day there was snow
on the ground. The largest number reg
istered was 190, which was on a Monday,
washing day, and the clerks say that
every washing day the number registered
is larger than during the remaining days
of tho week. The total number regis
tered up to the evening of Saturday,
March 3, was 70S1, and it will probably
be Increased to S000 by the end of this
"week, when half the time will have ex
pired, as the books will be closed May 15.
Voters will be wise to attend to getting
registered at once, as there will probably
be a rush toward the end.
Wur Streets AnB Not Cleaned. Tho
p Board of Public Works held a meeting
yesterday and examined and passed upon
-f ho claims for the month of February xf
xhe different departments. The unclean
condition of paved streets came up for
discussion. The public find fault because
these streets are not swept regularly, as
usual. Tho cause of this is the utter Im
possibility of procuring rattan for tho ma
chine brooms. Other cities all over the
country are having the same trouble. The
rattan simply cannot be procured. The
city has sent East for wire to repair or
Jill the brooms, and this Is looked for any
day now. It will be three or four weeks
before a supply of rattan can be secured,
and if the public will only be patient till
that time they will have no more cause for
complaint.
Only One Week More. Quite a num
ber of sportsmen went out duck hunting
Sunday. There were large numbers of
ducks in places where they have been fed
continuously, but those who had stopped
feeding found very few ducks about their
preserves. A party of some 10 hunters
at Deer Island got about two ducks apiece.
At Morgan's. Thorn and Lewis bagged
over 109 ducks. They wrc in fine condi
tion, and several which fell from a great
height and struck on their breasts on the
water, literally split open down the breast
so fat and heavy they were. So far this
season. Thorn and Lewis have shot 30C1
ducks, beside a lot of snipe, geese, Chinese
pheasants, etc Next Sunday Is the last
of this sport, as the close season begins
on tho 15th.
Left No Opening. Workman were en
gaged yesterday in cutting a large hole
in the cement sidewalk on the Fourth
street side of the Chamber of Commerce,
for the purpose of taking the old boilers
out through from tab basement and put
ting in new ones. These boilers were set
in position before the sidewalk was built,
and no provision was made for ever tak
ing them out again. The hard cement
walk, with its supporting arch of brick,
form a toush substance nearly a foot thick,
which resists the action of cold chisel
and makes the work of forming the aper
ture very difficult.
For the Noon Rest. Annually the peo
ple having in charge the affairs of the
Noon Rest give an evening's entertain
ment In somo one of the churches for the
purpose of bringing tho work before the
public and giving a summary or general
report of what has bem done during the
year. The First Presbyterian Church has
kindly opened its doors to the Noon Rest
Committee this time, and Friday night,
March 9, there will be rendered an In
teresting musical and literary programme.
to which the people of Portland are cor
dially invited.
Children Needing Homes. Twelve
boys and girls, aged from 2 months to
14 years. Homes in good families are
wanted for these children. By addressing
I. F. Toboy, Superintendent Oregon Chil
dren's Home Society, desired information
may be obtained concerning these unfor
tunate little ones. This society receives
cMIfren from any part of the State of
Oregon, and boards them until suitable
homes can be found for them. The work
at large in 25 states has been the placing
of 15,000 children In 18 years.
Low Price roR Eggs. Housewives are
rejoiced to find frosh egjs 12A cents per
dozen in March, and while they continue
so cheap, cakes, custards, omelets and
other good things will be plenty. Dealers
say that the price will soon go up. as It
is unreasonably low for th's time of year
"L. wlll,c1reate a demand from the north
which will soon end the price up. It is
about time that butter was taking a tum
ble In svmpathy with the eggs.
Recompense ron Injuries. The judici
ary committee at its meeting yesterday
took up the claim for damages of Mrs .
F. Sears, sr.. whose knee was injured by
a,, onJLhe s,dewalk caused by a broken
plank. The matter has been before th
committee for nearly two years. It was
decided to recommend that she be paid $230.

Tbajtio" Men Meet. A meeting of
traffic men of the principal Pacific Coast
transportation companies was held yester
day in the office of General Traffic Man
ager Campbell, of the O. R. & N., to dis
cuss rates and divisions between water
and rail lines. Tho matter was discussed
in a general way, and the business of the
meeting will bo concluded today. There
wexo present. President Farrall, J. G.
Woodworth and J. F. Trowbridge, of the
Pacific Coast Company; Edwin Goodall,
of Goodall, Perkins & Co.; G. W. Blabane,
of the Great Northern; Allan Cameron,
of the Canadian Pacific; Mr. Campbell and
B, E. Miller, of tho O. R. & N., and S. G.
Fulton, of the Northern Pacific.
A North -End Blaze. An alarm from
box 142, at 10:40 last evening, was occa
sioned by a fire in the rear end of the
Senate saloon, corner of Fourth and Davis
streets. The flames originated in the oil
room, and were not discovered until they
had extended to the rear of a frame build
ing, 271 Davis street. The blaze attained
a good. start before the alarm was turned
in, and from a distance it looked like a
big fire. The department soon reduced It
with chemical engines after they arrived
on the ground. The saloon and adjoining
building are occupied by M. L. Smith, and
tho damage to building and furniture will
reach $500. The loss is covered by Insur
ance. "Indigent Permits." A merchant com
plains of the fakers which are so nu
merous and sell so many things. He says
out of five who were doing business In
his -vicinity a day or two since, only one
had a license. The others, notwithstand
ing that they were strong, healthy fel
lows and strangers in the city, were fur
nished with "indigent permits." Police
men are few and scantily paid these days,
and they have an idea that these street
fakers should pay license to help out the
police fund. Can It be possible that tho
license committee has -been imposed upon
by these peripatetic peddlers? If not, why
are Indigent permits Issued to sound men?
Second Oregon Rally. The Young
Men's Republican Club meeting for next
Thursday evening, at their headquarters,
207 Worcester block, bids fair to be up to
the usual high standards that have char
acterized their meeting!? in the past The
feature of the evening will be a rally of
the Second Oregon boys. General Sum
mers, who was unable to be present at
tho last meeting, will positively be present.
Speeches will also be made by a number of
the soldier boys on the issue of expansion.
The Oregon quartet, that Is rapidly becom
ing famous in the campaign, will furnish
tho music. A cordial invitation is extend
ed to all.
Police Commissioners' Meeting. At
the meeting of the Police Commissioners
last evening, John Moore, night jailer, was
appointed sergeant of the force. His du
ties will bo drlllmaster and organizer of
the various squads necessary, and his pay
will be an advance over that of patrol
man. He will be relieved of his duties
as night jailer as soon as another night
jailer Is appointed. Officer Harkleroad's
case was not acted on, and the Impression
prevails that action on, it has been in
definitely postponed.
One "Albino" Duck. A freak In tho
duck line is a bird recently shot on Co
lumbia Slough, by James Backlnstos, head
Janitor at the City Hall, who has had It
mounted and has presented it to the City
Museum. It is of the widgeon species, but
white, and is, therefore, called an Albino
for the same reason that a white negro or
Indian or blackbird or elephant Is. The
name has nothing to do with Alblna, or
Albania, as somo apparently suppose.
For Stealing Shoes. Martin lone and
John Palm, two sailors, got on a spree
Saturday, and each stole a pair of shoes
from the second-hand store of G. Muld
man, on North Third street. They plead
ed not guilty in the Municipal Court yes
terday, but Judge Hennessy thought tho
evidence too strong against them and gavo
them 30 days each in the County Jail.
Small Fire. A telephone alarm at 9:2"
A. M., yesterday, brought several fire en
gines to the German bakery, 145 Third
street, where a defective flue had set fire
to tho rear of the bulldlnp. The flames
were extinguished with a chemical before
much damago was done.

MME. SCALCHI COMING.
I Greatest Living: Contralto Will Sing
at the Maranam.
Mme. Sofia ScalchI, who is perhaps not
only the greatest living contralto, but also
the greatest of whom history has made
any record. Is coming to the Marquam
next Monday evening. Mme. ScalchI was
jtho associate of Adellna Pattl for many
years, ana enjoys tne distinction of being
the only artist who ever succeeded In
dividing honors with her, and it was no
unusual occurrence for the great contral
to to arouse more enthusiasm than Pattl
herself. This will not be Mme. Scalchi's
first visit to Portland, and all musje
lovers still remember with pleasure her
great success at the Marquam Grand two
years ago. She Is supported by a company
of great artists, among whom are Mme.
Bernlce De Paf quail. Slgnor Franceschettl
and others of renown. The programme
will consist of operatic festival gems and
several scenes from "II Trovatore," In full
costumes and with special scenery. The
sale of seats will begin Friday morning.
"The Xomlnee" nt the Murciuam.
Nat Goodwin's famous play, "The Nom
inee," will be produced at the Marquam
Friday and Saturday of this week. The
Seattle Post-Intelligencer sajs of this per
formance: " The Nominee,' made famous by Nat
Goodwin, was presented In an admirable
manner by Walter Walker and a company
of capable players at the Seattle Theater
last night. The good impression which
Mr. Walker made here in 'A Bachelor's
Honeymoon was heightened by his clever
comedy work of last night, and he showed
himself a worthy successor to the man
who created the title role of 'The Nomi
nee.' "Mr. Walker's support is excellent. Miss
Annie Mortimer, who acted the part of
the proverbial sharp-tongued mother-in-law
to a gay man of the world, kept the
audience in a continual roar of laughter
by her acrid remarks. Clayton Legge
who, in the role of private secretary to
'The Nominee,' naturally was depended
upon for much of the comedy, is a good
actor. Percy Sharp, In the part of an
amateur politician and an unsuccessful
wooer, was an unqualified success. The
work of the remainder of the company
was In keeping with that of the leading
actors."
The sale of seats will begin Wednesday
morning.

"Work on Cannery Building: Illness
of Two Pioneers.
Work on tho foundation of the big can
nery building on East Yamhill street, be
tween East Eighth and East Ninth, was
resumed yesterday morning, the purpose
being to get it in shape for the building as
soon as possible. Seven brick piers have
been built In the ravine for the floor of
tho basement, and the dirt from the high
ground is being filled In around them.
These piers rest on solid concrete foot
ings and are three feet in diameter. There
will be ample dirt from the high ground
In the rear to fill up the low place entire
ly, and there will be some to spare. A
well is being sunk In' the bottom of tho
ravine. The water has been pouring Into
It so fast that a small pump was put to
work pumping out the water, the steam
being brought by a pipe from the boilers
of the old cannery on East Seventh street.
It is expected that a considerable supply
of water may be obtained from this welL
Tho rain Interferes and delays the ex
cavating very materially, but the man
agers think they have started early enough
to get the plant all ready for operation
this year.

Wells, Mrs. Sargent, Mrs. Randall and
others participated. Mrs. Older repeated
the declaration of the purposes and ob
jects of the Woman's Relief Corps of the
G. A, R. This fitted the new organiza
tion so well that It was moved and car
ried that the declaration be adopted by
the auxiliary with such changes In words
as were necessary to make It fit the new
organization. On motion, the roll of char
ter membership was opened and 30 names

"MADAME SANS GENE."
Cordra' Crowded Asaln to Sco
Sardon's Great Piny of Napoleon.
"Mmo. Sans Gene" has made the biggest
hit thus far by the Frawley company.
Cordray's Theater was crowded again last
night, and the applause was the most en
thusiastic heard In any theater In Port
land in a long time. There wcro curtain
calls after nearly every act, and May
Van Buren and Mr. Frawley were espe
cially honored at the close of the first act.
This comedy drama, dealing with the
domestic life of Napoleon, and the rise of
Catharine Hubscher from a washerwoman
to tho Duchess of Danzic and the wife of
the Marshal of France, Is the last play
from the pen of the great Sardou that
has proved genuinely successful In Amer
ica. "Splritlsme" and "A Woman's Si
lence" were decided failures, and "Gis
monda" was only a comparatively slight
success.
"Mme. Sans Gene" will be kept on until
Thursday evening, when "An Unconven
tional Honeymoon" will be presented.
