THE MOENTNGf OEEGONIAN, FRIDAY, 'JULY 27, 1900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Amusements Tonight. METROPOLITAN THEATER (Third BtrytO "His Night Out" ALISKT'S WINTER GARDEN (Third and Morrison streets) Concert niehtly. Fugitive Burglars Arrested. F. A. Johnson, alias Davenport, and Harry Smith, who for the tirao being lias as sumed the name of Melburn, were arrests ed In Sacramento yesterday for burglaiy committed In- Portland, and Chief of Po lice McLauchlan was notified by tele graph of their arrest- They will not be brought back, however, as the District Attorney has decided that the county will not bo Justified In the expense of having them returned to Portland, a decision 'which is fortunate for them. Johnson and Smith, who are scarcely moro than boys, and who were released from the Reform School at Salem about a year ago, entered the Brown Block, on Haw thorne and Grand avenues, a few weeks ago, and abstracted therefrom a quan tity of clothing, which they sold. The police looked Into the case and soon ar rived at tho conclusion that the two boys were the thieves. learning that the pair had gone south on the Southern Pacific, they wired the police of tho cities along the line, describing Johnson and Smith, and requesting that they be held. After receiving the news of their cap ture yesterday. Chief McLauchlan con ferred with District Attorney Chamber lain, and It was decided that it would hardly be worth while to bring the boys back, as the worst they could get for their offense would bo a jail sentence. "Vitrified Brick Pavement. The vitri fied brick pavement on Stark street is about completed from Sixth to Seventh. The bricks are laid diagonally, on the 2acadaxn surface of the street, which has been dressed up, and it is thought will wear better than If laid in rows straight across the street. It takes 53,000 brick to lay a block of pavement, and, as they weigh over six pounds each, the weight of brick In a block is over 160 tons, and In the four blocks over 640 tons. The handling and transportation of such a weight of brick adds considerably to the cost, and steps are taken to have them handled as few times as possible. They are piled in crates at the kiln, and these crates aro swung on board the barges. The barges land at the foot of Stark street, where a plank roadway from the slip to the barge has been con structed, so that wagons can be driven on board. The crates are then loaded on wagons and hauled to Stark street, whero the brick are piled along the curb ready for the men who lay them. This saves loading and unloading them several times. Working on Buinket License. Tho license committee is at work on the blanket license ordinance which the Coun cil directed It to prepare. The prep aration of such an ordinance is no small ipb, and it will be hardly possible to reach every person who should be In cluded at first, but It is the desire of the committee to do this as far as Is prac ticable. Citizens generally recognize the necessity which exists for such an ordi nance, and It Is the object of the com mittee to make it so fair and equitable that no one can have any Just ground of objection to it. It is hardly probable that the ordinance can be prepared in tlmo for the action of the Council at the meet ing next "Wednesday, but It may be gotten through in time to allow of licenses under It being collected for the last month of the current quarter. Some have an idea that if tho city can get authority to as sess and collect the city taxes, the license law will soon be done away with. Bunawat Accident. Chester Harvey, of 295 East Washington street, will car ry his left arm in a sling for several weeks in consequence off a runaway ac cident near Linnton Wednesday after noon. He had stopped his horse and cart to water tho animal at a wayside trough when the Northern Pacific freight train came along, puffing and blowing In sueh a manner that the horse thought It was after him, so he started to run. Mr. Har vey was thrown out as the cart upsot, but held on to the lines and was dragged a. considerable distance before he let go. Tho horse was stopped about a mile away by a blow on the top of his head with a shovel in the hands of a stalwart section-hand. The rig was not badly In jured. At the Appraiser's Warehouse. The warehouse of tho Appraiser of Customs la filled up with a shipment of Japanese curl03 and merchandise, which the In spectors are examining as rapidly as pos sible. When they are through with this job they have a large shipment of odorif erous China medicines and "yarbs" to ex amine, which will be as beneficial to their health as a trip to the Coast, If they live through the ordeal. Six largo crates of earthenware are lying at the Appraiser's office awaiting the arrival of an owner. They come from England and are ad dressed to T. S. &. Co., but so far no one has claimed them or paid duty on, them, and no one knows who they are for or just how they came to bo in the ware house. PcsniNO First-Street Track. The City & Suburban Railway Company Is pushing the construction of its line on First street as rapidly as possible. One track is laid as far south as Lincoln street, and when it Is completed the sec ond track will at once be begun. It is expected that cars will bo running over this line and through to Fulton by Sep tember 15. Probably the track on Second street as far south as Grant will be re moved soon after the First-street line Is completed, as it is now practically un used, and there certainly will be no need of it when there are roads on First and Third. Troops en Route. Thirty-seven new recruits for tho First Cavalry, accompa nied by 13 members of the hospital corps, passed through Portland on their way to Seattle yesterday. They had been re cruited at San Francisco, and expected to join the First Cavalry at Seattle, whence they are to embark for Nagasaki, Japan, for further orders. Some of them. who had been to the Philippines, hoped to be sent to China, as the climate was more pleasant there. The squad was In charge of Lieutenant Inslow, of the Elev enth Cavalry, who had been wounded In Luzon and is now recuperating at home. Bio Track Scales. Tho Terminal Com pany has found It necessary to put In a new and larger track scale to meet the requirements of new methods In car con struction. Heretofore a scale 42 feet long, with a capacity for 50 tons, has answered exery purpose, but now, owing to the in creased length and capacity or cars, a scale 50 feet in length and with a capac ity of SO tons is required. The company has decided that in putting In a new scale, provision might as well be made for tho future, and fo will install one capable of weighing 100 tons. The excellent train service of the As toria & Columbia River Railroad between Portland, Gearhart Park and Seaside Is attracting thousands of people to the beach. Through trains leave Portland dally at 8 A M., and run through direct without transfer or vexatious delays, ar riving at Gearhart Park at 12:20 P. M. land Seaside at 12:30 P. M.; returning, leaving Seaside at 5 P. M. and Gearhart at 6:10 P. M., arriving in Portland at B:40 P. M. of the same day, thus giving passengers an outing of nearly five hours at the beach. Win. Not Invade China Harry Mil ler, of Grant's Pass, who was recently appointed Consul to Chung Kung, China, has been heard from at Nagasaki, Japan, whero he is sojourning on board the transport Logan, in company with his daughter Laura. He did not deem It ad visable to travel through China to reach his destination, under the present circum stances, and so awaits orders at Naga saki. The rest of Mr. Millers family are Summering at Tioga, Long Beach. Dr. W. E. Maxwell, has returned from tho East and can bo found at his office. jOregonlan Building.

The Board of County Commissioners at their meeting yesterday called In City Engi neer 'Chase to Join with them in consid ering the matter of putting a new deck on the steel bridge. It was decided to ask for bids for planking the bridge and also for paving It with wooden blocks, the same as the pavement on Burnslde strcet bridge, which has given good satis faction. It was also decided to widen the sidewalks on both sides of the bridge a foot and to construct a new, substantial railing. City Engineer Chase was in structed to prepare the necessary specifi cations as soon as possible, and the work will be commenced as soon as practicable. There was entire unanimity among the members of the board in regard to the method of repavlng tho bridge, all desir ing to have the work done in a substan tial manner and to be completed at an early date, before bad weather comes on. Inquirt tor a Former Portlandeii. L. W. Gerkey, deputy Sheriff at Duns muir, Siskiyou County, CaU has written County Clerk Holmes asking for information concerning an old man named Maloney, who la supposed to have settled in or near "Portland about 40 years ago. Maloney at the present time should be about 70 years old, If living. At the time he is supposed to have come to Portland he left Iowa City, la., leav ing relatives there, and the present In quiries are made In the Interests of th old man's granddaughter. Any one know ing of such a person will aid tho woman by furnishing Mr. Gerkey the Informa tion. The Wilet B. Allen Co. in San Francisco. Says tho Trade Review: "The most noticeable feature In our trade atmosphere Is the advent of Mr. Wiley B. Allen, of Portland, into San Fran cisco. He has taken warerooms at 211 Post street, facing Union Square, and will open up as soon as fixtures are In placet This Is an Important accession to local trade, for Mr. Allen Is a big dealer, having a large establishment in Portland, which he will continue to maintain, be sides the one here. His coming to San Francisco has been looked for quite a while, and now It is an accomplished fact." Fine Rebidence and quarter block for sale a bargain.

Pleasing Change of Bill at the Met ropolitan. "His Night Out" was the' change of bill presented last night at the Metropolitan Theater by the Australian. Comedy Com pany. This busy company surely gives the public its money's worth, for, be sides playing a really funny comedy in three acts, there are two songs well sung, two recitations dramatically rendered and a side-splitting travesty on "Sapho." The story of the play deals with the doings of a married man during the ab sence of his wife from home. In a fit of marital aberration, he forms the acquaint ance of companions that afterwards make his life miserable. In somewhat the same style as "In Paradise," recently played here, does the plot progress, amusing and absurd complications following in such rapid succession as to be almost bewil dering. The. character of Sam Selwyn, the married man, was well played by W. J. Townshend. Miss George Elliot as Mrs. Selwyn, while not having so many opportunities to display her histrionic abilities as in "Sapho," was sufficiently dignified and exacting to make a clover presentation. A novelty In make-up and dialect that was ridiculously funny was brought out by Herbert Jones in the char acter of Bosco Blithers, the old professor of penmanship. His consistency in main taining his talk as If he were suffering from a severe cold in the head 'was some thing quite new. Alec Cochrane, as Fred Bellamy, the friend of Selwyn, sustained his good reputation established last week. Percy Ward as Dlbbs, the boy in buttons, helped out In the fun-making very mate rially. Joseph Fynney as Captain Kats klll, of the Kilkenny Guards, and Madge Corcoran as Grace Selwyn, his sweet heart, did well in their respective roles. Annie Glrard and Rose Stan dish, while having minor parts last night, were ac ceptable. As added attractions, Joseph Fynney sang in. a robust voice two rattling good bass solos. Miss Corcoran recited clever ly "Her Letter," by Bret Hart. Miss Elliot recited in French dialect an amus ing little skit entitled "Three From Three Leave Nothing." A side-splitting traves ty on "Sapho" closed the entertainment. W. J. Townshend was Sapho, Herbert Jones Jean and Percy Ward Flaraont, The trio caused no end of fun In their bur lesque. Three more performances, with a Satur day matinee, will bo given of "His Night Out." HAWTHORNE PARK. This beautiful sylvan spot Is now under the management of Mr. Charles L.

The fire which destroyed the immense Swamp Root medicine plant of Dr. Kil mer & Co., July L was the most disas trous which has ever occurred in Bing hamton. However, the Kilmers resumed business next morning, though not at the old stand, which is a heap of smoldered ashes. While the firemen were yet pour ing water on the burning Chenango-street establishment, the Kilmers were arrang ing to do business somewhere else. That this great Industry might not be crippled for a moment, 'through the cour tesy of other prominent firms and citi zens, tho large factory and adjoining buildings on South street were vacated for the benefit of the Swamp Root peo- fle, and possession was taken Immedlate y. and here, by Monday. July S, this new, temporary factory was turning out Swamp Boot, the great Kidney Remedy, In quantities of about 60,000 bottles per day, and In two or three weeks' time the full capacity of more than four times that amount will be produced. The Immense demand for Swamp Root will thus in no way be Interfered with. On the old site, with adjoining property which has Just been purchased, will be erected immediately an absolutely lire proof six-story structure, plans for which have been nearly completed.

Balloting for the queen of the Portland Street Fair and Carnival progressed at a lively rate yesterday, and when the nominations are closed July 30 there Is sure to be a very large list of names from which to select. The boxes attracted a great deal of attention in the stores where they were displayed, and many were the slips of paper which were tucked Into them by friends and admirers of tho young women who will be asked to be come contestants in tjio big race, which will open just as soon as the nominations are canvassed and the letters of accept ance are received. C. A Whale, who is to furnish tho hapdsome solid mahogany cabinet grand piano to be presented to the queen, said yesterday that he presented the piano not to the queen but to the carnival com mittee, to be used by them as they saw fit. Ion Lewis, and D. C. Lewis, architects associated In designing the arch which Is to span the Intersection of Sixth and Washington streets, the Woman's build ing" and the grain palace, have tho plans well under way, and those who have been so fortunate as to see them- say that the edifices will surprise every one by their magnificence. All the buildings for the fair will be of handsome design, and taken together will transform the street into a vertlble fairy-land. In the carnival headquarters In the Im perial Hotel building yesterday was dis played the handsome mounted elk which Is to be awarded as a prize to the visit ing lodge of Elks having the handsomest uniforms. The animal Is one of the nob lest specimens of the monarch of the for est ever seen, and hardly a man passes the headquarters who does "not pauso to admire It. These are busy days at the headquar ters. President Rowe and Mr. Cordray are always at their desks, and there Is not a minute during the day when they are not called upon by some one, most of the visitors being men who have some new and original attraction for the fair. The exhibit department Is nearly rushed to death, as merchants continue to de mand more space. Every one who will make an exhibit will go to considerable expense, and tho result will be an array of the most tasteful and artistic booths ever seen In Portland. Letters from all parts of the state re ceived at headquarters indicate that thou sands of people are going to take advant age of the choap rates offered by all the railroads, and throng to Portland during the fair. The business mon have caught, the enthusiasm, born of the carnival spir it, and are laying In heavy stock of goods against tho unprecedented demand they know there will be while the carnival Is in progress. Decoration of many of the large stores will soon be In progress, and the displays will be on a scale which will require time to complete. Electric lights will be lavishly employed, while parti colored bunting, flags and streamers will be seen everywhere. The street on which the fair is to be held will by no means be the only one that will be clad In gala attire. Preparations for the brilliant river par ade and reception of the king at the mouth of tho Willamette are already ac tively in progress, and all arrangements will be complete when the flagship of the receiving fleet slips her moorings and starts down the river on her voyage of welcome. Bands will play from the decks of all the stately steamers"," flags will float from their staffs, and the cabins will be bright with brilliantly costumed men and women, who do not propose to be out done by the finery of hla royal highness and his courtiers. Second only in magni ficence to the naval parade, will be the street pageant, which escorts' the king to the gates of the fair. As he unlocks the portals and opens, the public will fol low, and they will Jlnd everything com plete to the minutest detail, as the com mittee has determined to Jiave very exhi bit and every attraction ready for com pany the minute the gates are opened. An enthusiastic meeting of the Elks was held In their hall, In the Marquam building, last night. Two traveling men from Louisville, Ky., told of the brilliant succes of the fair there, and prophesied that the one to be given in Portland would fully equal It. A marching uni form for Elks' day at the carnival was decided upon. It will consist of wjiite caps bound with purple ribbon, light neg ligee shirts with purple ties, black sack coats, ahd white duck trousers. It was learned yesterday that a man is out soliciting for what he alleges is the official programme. No one has as yet received any authority to solicit adver tisements for the official programme, as this concession has not yet been awarded. The committee haying the matter In charge is composed of Alexander Sweek, I. W. Balrd, Louis Allehof and Phil Har ris. CEDAR PARK FOR PICNICS Grounds open to the public every day In the week.
