Ix ax Idaho Rckawat. S. Julius May er was able to get down to his office yes terday for a few hoars, lor the first time elnce his mlsha. hlle on a business trip ic Idaho, a iie was being- driven north from Silver City In a private buggy, I the horses ran aw 15 and the driver -was unable to recover control of them. He held on to the lines while they ran five m..es, and as the were on a down grado and the buggy wae only touching the high places, and the horses seemed to be getting their second wind, he had to drop the lines from sheer fatigue. As soon as he let go, out they both, went, Mr. Mayer striking on bis head, and apparent ly on all parts of It, for the top of his 'head, was badly cut, his eyes were closed complete!', ana his face badly scratched up, and he was, as the saylnc is. "all broko up," although no bones were broken. He was brought back to the railroad and came home on the first train, arriving In sjch shape that his friends could not rec ognize him. He is all right now, barring, eome soreness and stiffness which make h"s bed the most comfortable place for him. His partner, Henri Fleckensteln. 2ias gone to Idaho to work under the head of "unfinished business." and -whether he "will walk through that country or ride a b'cyelo is not certain. The Idaho people evidently feed their horses too high, and do rot work them enough. Lmrivr Stable Gets Damages. Justice Kraomer decided a cross-suit damage case yesterday, in favor of Mrs. Phoebe John- eon, the owner of a livery stable, the original plaintiff. Mrs. Johnson sued Miss Clara E'sner for $50 damages in conse quence of an injured rig which Miss Eis ner had hired from the stable and after- "wards permitted the horses to run away i "with. Miss Eljner filed a cross-suit for 52o0 damages, alleged to have been sus- j tained through the horses running away witn ner. Mrs. Johnons counsel con tended that the team had been hired by Miss E'sner with the understanding that a man should drive, but that the youns j "woman herself had afterward taken hold of the reins and permitted the team to ecamper off up the Canyon road. Some "witnesses who were in the City Park during the runaway testified that Miss Eisner was not ho'dlng the lines at all, but that she and a young woman com panion named Clark were simply clinging to the sides of the vehicle and scream ing for help. Mrs. Johnson was awarded 510 damages, as Justice Kraemer thought the contract in regard to the man driver ehould have been carried out. Removing an Old Parsonage. Work men wore engaged yesterday In preparing the- little old house on Alder, near Fifth. which so long served as the residence of the pastor of the First Baptist Church, for removal, by tearing out the chimneys, etc The east half of the quarter-block on which the old house stands has been leased ta Honeyman, De Hart & Co., who TvlU erect an Iron house thereon that 13, a brick structure to keep Iron In. The old house will be turned around to front on Fifth street, and will bo fitted up for i a cigar-stand, chop-house, or something of the sort. The house was built by Henrv (Failing in 1S55 or thereabouts, at the northeast corner of Seventh and Taylor streets, and he resided in it for several years after his marriage. Edward Failing also resided In It for a time. When Joslah Failing presented the half-block on Alder1 street, between Fourth and Fifth, to the Baptist Church, and a church, building was erected where Honeyman, De Hart & Co. s store now stands, the little house 1 "was presented to the church for a parson age, and was moved to the place where it still stands. Thgcght He Did It "a-Pcrpose." As two elderly women from the country were 1 crossing Alder street, at Front, yester day forenoon, a bicyclist passed behind them, without oven attempting to run against them. As he struck the stone block pavement of Front street the tire on one of his wheels exploded with, a report like a gun, and the women jumped as if ithey were shot. They turned, and, seeing the man dismounting from his bicycle and leading it away, they imagined that he hod scared them on purpose, and scolded at lilm till he was out of hearing. Some of the f unny fellows about the corner sided In with the women and advised them, to nave the bicyclist arrested; but as there had been no damage done to any one but him, they concluded to forego that pleas ure. Work Besomed on Jettt. The Hale & Kern Contract Company has resumed work on the Gray's Harbor Jetty. It has four of Its large schooner-barges employed in transporting rock from tho .quarry at Fisher s Landing; and the other one, which is now unloading a cargo of lumber In San Francisco, will be back In the rock-carrying business In about 10 days. The company has 80 men at work in the quarry and 40 on the Jetty. Notwith standing that through an accident the , company w ere deprived of the use of one of its barges all last Summer, It mode a very good showing on Its contract, and If nothing happens it wll do better this season. Bids for Post Holes. Postmaster Croasman opened bids for setting letter box posts about the city. Bids were asked for three different kinds of setting, viz., In turf. In wood and in concrete. Some 10 proposals were received, the offers for turf-setting ranging from $2 47 to $3 55; for wood, from $2 55 to f4; and for cement. from $1 85 to $5. The bid of John Burke was $1 70 flat, which is the lowest by far, and doubtless he will be awarded the contract. The bids have to be sent to the department at Washington to be passed on ana approved, and the posts will be set in the course of time. If they do not take root where they are piled.

Slngrlnt? oC Miss Loeirenberg "Was a Feature Fine Choruses by the Society. Although the storm of last night Inter fered with the attendance somewhat at the Arlon Society's concert, the en thusiasm and appreciation of those pres ent was in no w.se dampened. The con cert was ono of the most meritorious given by the society, and the numerous recalls showed that the audience fully appreciated It, A large part of the interest of the even ing naturally centered In Miss Loewen berg, aB this was, In a way, her debut after, two years' hard but enthuaastlc study, most of which time had been de voted to the great Wagnerian roles. Her voice has long been recognized among those who were familiar with it as ono of the finest Portland has produced, a voice that promises her a career if she chooses to develop it to Its fullest extent. Naturally, therefore, local musicians and music-lovers were on the qui vhe to learn the result of the training she had re ceived. Her programme number was Adriano's aria. "Gerechter Gott!" from the third act of Wagner's ""Rlenzi," where Adriano en ters after the tumultuous and furious re sponse of the people to Rienzl's call to arms. Adriano opens his scene with prayer that the'earnage may be averted, which develops into an allegro of great agitation "Wo war ich?" as the sound of the great bell of the capltol tolls tho signal for slaughter. Tho rich quality of MIS3 Loewenbergs voice was heard to great advantage in the Impressive opening measures. It is a sonorous voice of good range, espe cially well suited to the mysticism of Wagner's music because of Its unusual depth and fullness of tone, and because of the Impression of unlimited reserve power that is conveyed to the hearer. It is sympathetic with a natural pathos and vibrant thrill to It, together with a pe culiar 'cello-Uke quality that is as rare as It Is beautiful. As the climax of the aria was reached. Miss Loewenbergs sing ing developed great dramatic intensity. Her Interpretation showed that her aim Is toward that large and noble style that was so characteristic of the older Wag nerian singers of Beyreuth. After a tumultuous recall. Miss Loewen berg returned and gave the simple but grand Beethoven song, "Die Ehro Gottes aus der Natur," throwing Into it much majestic beauty. Miss Loowenbergs splendid voice was heard later in the programme '.n a duet with Mr. Belcher, "Off to the Mountains," from "II Trovatore." Tho Arion male chorus sang with marked precision and good tone for its first number Mochrlngs "Wle hab ich srte bellebt," a beautifully resonant fatherland song, and for its second number, Spick ens' "Meadow Dews," a dreamy pastoral, with a tenor solo sung by Louis Dam mas ch. The Columbia Students, a string quar tet, brought back many pleasing memo ries of Rebagllatl's Spanish Students of a few years ago. Their first number was a selection from "Travlata," which was played with a dash and verve well suited to Verdi's bright music As an encore the Intermezzo from "Cavallerla Rusti cana" was given. Their second number was Zlboulka's "Dove's Dream." Will lam J. Belcher sang a difficult tenor solo from the oratorio, "The Creation," with marked expression and enunciation. His resonant voice appeared to much better advantage in this solo than In his duo with Miss Loewenberg. A very pleasing addition to this pleasing concert was the introduction of Mr. Lonsdale, a stranger to Portland, but wbo made many friends by his excellent 6lnglng. Mr. Lonsdale possesses a rich, full baritone voice, par ticularly round and melodious in his up per register. He sang two pretty Eng lish ballads, his first and best number being "Mona." a pathetic song, being in verso tho substance of the "Manxman." Miss Marie Velguth was a very artistic accompanist, while W. F. Werschkul con ducted the chorus In his usual precise style. "QUO VADIS?" AT MARQUAM First Appearance Here Warn a De cided Success. The flnst presentation In this part of the country of the dramatization of "Quo Vadis?" was eeen by an extremely select audience at the Marquam Grand last night. It was an unusual event, even to vet eran theater-goers, and tho best testi monial of the appreciation was a full house. There were few empty seats to be counted, upstairs and down. Play and players- were received with unhesitating favor. There was not a particle of doubt that Interest In the great, Inspired novel was still as great as ever. After seeing tho production last night many were the expressions of satisfaction over the re sult. Few plays of the kind have, at the out eat, proved great successes when first pro duced; yet they have gained a great hold upon the public Following Ira the line of the "Sign of the Cross," which also has for Its central theme Christianity's christ ening in sacrificial blood and torturing fire, this drama has been noted as one of the evento in the world of great plays. There is something almost indefinable In the effect of the chanting of hymns of pralso to the great Redeemer from behind the footlights. As tho innocents murmur "Thy will be done" and arc led away to their deaths, the murmurs of prayers, mingling with the tortured one's farewells, bring about a realistic effect that strange ly moves. The dramatization is well done. The play is produced nere under the super vision of Sosman & Landis, and from the embarrassing wealth of scenes and de tails in the successor to "Ben Hur," there are given all the essential beauties and powerful climaxes of the novel In six acts-, two scenes being in the first act and a closing tableau. The stago story opens in Petronlus palace; from thence to Aulus' garden. Nero's palace, Petronlus' villa, the burning of Rome and the prison sceno and the arena of the Coliseum. Without doubt the greatest act Is the Mamortine prison 6cene. In this Is clearly drawn that fearlessness with which the Christians In Rome faced the inevitable. Here, hounded Into cells by Nero's order, Vinlcius finally resigns himself to his hard fate Spurning all offers to escape and leave behind Lygla, he goes to brave the bitter end for his newly-formed trust In one God. His capitulation to the new, mysterious, sustaining love of a Creator and a Redeemer shakes the feelings of his friends among the Augustlans. Effective speeches, prayers and Bible rcsponseo and a sweet-voiced chorus singing "Holy, Holy, Holy," hushed last nlghfe audience as a theater audience Is rarely hushed. In the bands of poorer performers it Is hard to see how the noble things In "Quo Vadis?" should fall to appeal to any aud ience. The piece was bandied without un necessary delay. The Charles Rlggs' Company Is large, and competent to give a most satisfac tory rendition. Vinlcius is played by C. H. Robertson. a young actor of pleasing presence; Pe tronlus by Lewis Sutherland, who has also tho grace of good looks and easy stage presence. In the climax of act II and the prison scene these two were seen to best advantage. The lead of the women Is Rose Stitlman, as Poppae, the jealous, vin dictive Empress. Nero was portrayeCfwIth excellent facial effect by "V. L. Love. Lygla. the fair Christian was effectively charaoterlzed by Ellzabtth Stewart. John Lindsay, as Chllo Chilonides, the wily Greek, was well up In the part. Daniel Reed gave sufficient force to Tigellinus prefect of the guard. The remainder o: the long cost is all right. "Quo Vadis?" will be given at a pop ular matinee today, and for the last time tonight, which promises to be an overflow night. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Carsbop Corner-Stone to Be Laid To dayOther Matters.

Mr. Tongue Replies. At the recent smoker of Camp Sum mers, Spanish War Veterans, of Albina, resolutions were passed thanking Con gressman Tongue for his speech In tho House of Representatives, in which he re ferred in eloquent terms to the Second Oregon Regiment. Mr. Tongue received a copy of the resolutions, and yesterday Cap tain W. C. North, of the camp, received the following reply: "I am Just in receipt of yours of the 19th Inst., conveying to me a copy of the resolutions passed by General Summers Camp, No. L Spanish-American War Vet erans, in reference to my speech upon the record of the Second Oregon. I am ex tremely gratified that this meets the ap proval of that magnificent regiment. It was hastily prepared with very slight ma terial, and a very Imperfect knowledge of their history and achievements. I hope at some time or other the boys will have tho benefit of a more accurate history of their heroic career. In the meantime I assure you that your kind appreciation or my humble efforts has much more than compensated me for the labor Involved In Its preparation. Assuring the camp of my most cordial wishes for the success, happi ness and prosperity of each member, I have the honor to remain," etc Beautiful Bnrlnl Ceremony. At the family residence, 207 East Thirty third street, Sunnyside, Mrs. Minnie Holt, wife ot Berryman Holt, and daughter of Edgar Allen, died after a lingering Illness of consumption, May L Every effort was put forth to restore her. She was sent to New Mexico In the hope that the change in climate would prove beneficial, but there wis no permanent good, and she came home. She was patient to the end. The funeral services were conducted at tho house by Rev. G.A. Blair, pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. It was at the grave that the preparations were particularly unique and beautiful. The grave had been lined with cotton all the way down, and there roses profusely had been placed. Surrounding the grave evergreen had been strewn. Interspersed with flowers, and completely concealing the ground, so that the casket was placed in a bed of roses and of white. The grave was not filled until all had departed. Saclc Has Been Found. There has been considerable Inquiry for some time as to the location of the politi cal "sack," and who had it in his pos session. It has been kept very quiet, but It leaked out yesterday that C J. Ward, of Union avenue, has been made the cus todian of the mythical sack. It Is known that he received it the first of the week, for his friends positively assert that they were present when It was delivered Into his possession. They were also prtsnt when its contents were examined. It con tained perforated nickels. 10-cent and 1 cent pieces, and numerous other coins, such as might be found in a collection for the education of the heathens, but for political purposes thl3 "sack" may be counted a failure. Since it was known that the "sack" was in the possession ot Mr. Ward, he has been besieged with political workers asking for jobs of vari ous sorts, until be declares that he Is worried to death, and wants It understood that he will not be the sackholder anj longer.
