John Barleycorn last night caused the

Rev. C. A. Wllley, Arleta. The couple,
who were down to be Joined In wedlock
were Dexter Day and Miss Annie Con
roy, aged 33 and 32 years respectively.
The groom became so overjoyed late in
the afternoon that he took on a too boun
tiful supply of liquor, and thus was the
happy event marked for a continuance.
While Dexter Day's bride-to-be was
waiting at the church and a large num
ber of Invited guests, with a generous
supply of ice cream on the pastor's lawn,
the would-be groom was p.lotlng schoon
ers over down-town bars, and was unable
to reach the scene until 10 o'clock last
night. Therefore the wedding was post
poned. Day caused a Hurry in police circles,
and upon lue theory that a foul murm ur

who was to have tied ti.e knot, kindly

the sensational theories that had been
discussed were promptly dropped and
other pressing matters were taken up.
Deep gloom had settled down upon the
scene, the Ice cream had been eaten up
by the downhearted cuests, and the wind
sighed wearily through the tall firs along

his approach all hands betook themselves

l'nllure to Improve Streets Suffi
cient Reason, Says Kavanaugh.
In response to a request of the
Executive Board, City Attorney Kav
anaugh yesterday rendered an opinion
to the effect that the street ' rail way
franchises of the Portland Railway,
Klght & Power Company are subject to
forfeiture at any time in case the com
pany falls to comply with the charter
pro-visions relative to the improvement
of streets. The opinion was asked for
because the corporation has not in
several instances kept its portions of
the streets In repair to the satisfac
tion of the Executive Board, and it is
c-onsldcred that the findings of the City
Attorney will be effective in influenc
ing the company to lay pavements
along- its line more promptly and main
tain them in better condition.
Mr. Kavanaugh bases his opinion on
the charter adopted in 189S. which
contained a section subjecting street
franchises to forfeiture in case the
grantees failed to keep up their por
tions of the Improvements. The fran
chises granted to the City & Suburb
an and Portland Railway Companies
did not contain this provision, but it is
held applicable, nevertheless. It is
the opinion of the City Attorney that
the (Council, in granting the fran-
chises. could not nullify this provision
of the charter.

INJURIES ARE INTERNAL
Girl's Condition Serious, and Man Is
Not Expected to Live Team Gets
Beyond Cbntrol Coming
Down Steep Hill.
OREGON CITY. Or.. Aug. 21. (Special.)
J. Maddox and his 12-year-old daughter
were seriously, and the man probably fa
tally Injured. In a runaway accident this
afternoon on the Seventh street hill. Lit
tle hope Is entertained for the recovery of
Maddox. but his daughter's chances are
fair.
Maddox has been engaged In driving a
lumber wagon from Everhart's sawmill
to the Oregon City Mill & Lumber Com
pany, and his little girl pleaded to be al
lowed to go on tho wagon with her
father. Today Maddox consented, and
when coming down the steep grade with
three horses and a heavily loaded wagon,
late this afternoon, met with the accident
that will probably cost him his life. At
the first bench below the Bastham school
building he descended from the wagon
and placed the reins and brake rope In
his daughter's hands, telling her to hold
on for a few minutes.
He was hardly off the wagon when the
horses started, and the girl's frail
strength was not sufficient to hold them.
Maddox Jumped back on the wagon, but
the horses were by that time going at a
furious speed and turned north on Jack
son street, overturning the wagon and
dragging Maddox and his daughter under
the heavy load. The team pulled the
front end of the wagon loose and sped
onward. Mrs. Maddox, who was visiting
in that end of the city, saw and recog
nized the runaways. She ran to the spot
of the catastrophe, but before she could
reach the place her husband and child
had been cruelly ground and mashed.
The girl's thigh and elbow are frac
tured, her leg cut to the bone, and she
was bleeding Internally. Maddox was ter
ribly crushed and lacerated and Is injured
internally. Both the man and the girl
were taken to the home of E. P. Ket
chum nearby, and later to their home.
Much Barley Shipped.
DATTON. Wash.. Aug. 21. (Special.)
During the past week 27 cars of new bar
ley have been shipped from Turner and
Whetstone warehouses. The majority of
the barley was shipped by the Kerr
GlfTord Company of this city to the Kerr
Gifford Company In Portland, Or.
FOR PURE MILK SUPPLY
Cottel May Initiate Ordinance to
Provide an Inspector.
Because he believes that a great
deal of impure milk is being sold in
Portland, Councilman Cottel probably
will Introduce an ordinance providing
for the employment In the City Health
Office of a deputy whose chief duty
shall be the inspection of dairies and
dairy products. The appropriation for
the Health Department will not per
mit additions to the force at this time
and the ordinance will not be intro
duced until the end of the present year.
Dr. Cottel believes that a large per
cent of fatalities among Infants in
Portland Is due to impure milk. As
many as 300 deaths a year, he thinks,
might be traced to this source. This
condition would be largely remedied,
he believes, by an inspector working
under adequate laws.
Health Officer Pohl also favors the
appointment of a milk Inspector. In
her opinion, however, many of the
deaths that are ascribed to
milk are due to Injudicious
of the children in other ways.

History In a Hotel Register.
Harper's Weekly.
Aside from its prominence as a hos
telry, at one time the most famous and
fashionable In the metropolis - and bear
ing 0n Its register ot guests tne names of
most of the distinguished men and
women, native and foreign, who ever
visited the city or lived in it, the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, New York City now
doomed to demolition will hold a place
of its own In the annals of the times as
a birthplace of history. A trustworthy
statistician has calculated that no other
single hotel in the orld has ever enter
tained so many eminent persons as have
been received at the Fifth Avenue, and
asserts that, "beginning with the Prince
of Wales (now King Edward) In 1860. a
year after the hotel was opened, a never
ending procession of the great men of
this and other countries has marched
through its corridors."
Every President of the ITnited States
since the hotel opened, beginning with
Lincoln, and including Johnson, Grant,
Hayes, Garfield. Arthur, Cleveland, Har
rison and McKinley but excepting Roose
velt, has been a guest of the Fifth Ave
nue during his term of office. On the day
of the obsequies of General Grant, In Au
gust, 1885, not only were the family, and
relatives of the great soldier domiciled in
the hotel, whence they took their places
in the funeral procession, but President
Cleveland and Vice-President Hendricks,
with the members of the cabinet; ex
Presldents Hayes and Arthur, with the
former members of their cabinets; the
Senate and House of Representatives; the
Supreme Court of the United States; the
diplomatic corps; the Governors of the
various states, each with his staff; and
scores of other celebrated men were
sheltered under its roof. The London
Times said that this was the most notable
assemblage ever gathered in the United
States.
GAMES TO DECIDE PENNANT
SIXDAY TO BE BIG DAY IX THE
TRI-CITY LEAGUE.
Kelso Against St. Johns at St. Johns,
and Double-Header at Vaughn
Street Grounds.
Next Sunday will be the big day among
the teams of the Tri-City League, for
upon the result of the games played prac
tically depends the championship of the
season. At St. Johns, Charlie Moore's
Apostles will hook up with the formidable
aggregation from Kelso. Wash., which
club has been strengthened by the ad
dition of Pitcher Erlckson. of the Spo
kane team of the Northwestern League.
Erlckson, while a member of the Spo
kane team, pitched a game for Kelso
against the L. S. Frakes team, the bid
ders for the championship, and succeeded
in shutting the Portland team out in a
well-played game. The alleged "ring
ing in" of Erickson has rankled in the
hearts of the other Tri-Clty League
teams, and when the Kelso ball tossers,
accompanied by the Spokane pitcher, face
St. Johns Sunday afternoon, they will find
that others can play at the same game,
for two, and perhaps three or four mem
bers of the Portland Pacific Coast League
team will be numbered in the St. Johns
lineup.
Manager Hal Pomeroy, of the L. S.
Frakes team, as soon as he learned that
Manager McCredie, of the Portland, team,
had left Ennon Califf, "Germany"
Schlmpff and Pokorny behind, immedi
ately signed them to play with his club
while the Beavers were away. He has
also annexed Ray . Lovett and "Big
Leaguer" Hansen, to the Frakes lineup,
and as St. Johns Is to hook up with the
Kelso outfit next Sunday, Pomeroy trans
ferred Califf, Pokorny and Schlmpff to the
standard of Charlie Moore, and Kelso
will be treated to a dose of the same
brand of medicine employed when the
Frakes visited their home town a few
weeks ago.
Erickson, the Spokane twirler,' will be in
the box for Kelso at St. Johns Sunday,
and will be pitted against the Oregon City
lad who has pitched some great baseball
for the Portland team in the Pacific Coast
League.
Pokorny, McCredle's substitute first
baseman, will hold down the Initial
cushion for St. Johns Sunday and "Ger
many" Schlmpff will play shortstop, while
Charlie Moore himself will play second
base, as Califf will be depended upon to
do the honors in the pitcher's box.
At the Vaughn-street grounds a double
header will be played between three clubs.
The first game will be between the
Bralnard cubs and the L. S. Frakes
team, and the winner or this con-test will
hook up with the Trunkmakers. Accord
ing to baseball dope the Frakes should
win both games, but baseball Is a -ery
uncertain game and a surprise may be in
order as both minor clubs have strength
ened considerably.
Ray Lovett and "Big Leaguer" Han
sen are scheduled to wear Frakes uni
forms at the Vaughn-street grounds, and
two good games can be expected.

S. MORTON COHN RETURNS
Manager Marquam Promises More
Flrst-CIass Attractions for House.
S. Morton Conn, manager and part own
er of the Marquam Grand Theater, re
turned from New York City yesterday.
"I had a great trip," said Mr. Cohn
last night, "but I am very glad to get
back to Portland. New York Is a great
city and all that, but it is also too hot
for human beings to live in and be
happy. ' 1
"I have arranged to have the Call
fornlana' Opera Company open in the
Marquam Monday night, September 2,
with 'Robin Hood." They are in their
way what 'The Bostonians' used to be.
They will play six weeks, giving vari
ous light operas. Then comes the San
Francisco Opera Company again on
Monday, October 14, for 10 weeks. Tho
company will be much stronger than
it was, even during the season It re
cently closed here.
"This brings us pretty well up to the
holidays. After the San Francisco
Opera Company there will be a new
company each week with a higher class
of plays than Portland has probably
ever seen throughout an entire sea
son. We will give the regular $1.50
attractions the companies that are

New York to San Francisco here in
Portland at popular prices.
"Portland's taste in theatrical mat
ters has always been high, but not
until recently were there enough peo
ple here to support a large or expen
sive play. But that time is now gone
forever, and from now on Portland, in
the play line, will be on an equal foot
ing with any other city except perhaps
Borne of the largest Eastern places."
Notes of Mllwaukle Council.
The Mllwaukle City Hall will be com
pleted. At the last meeting of the Coun
cil it was decided to advertise for bids
for finishing the building on the Inside.
Only the Council chamber was finished
last year, as there was not money
enough to do more. The upper hall for
public functions and the lower portion
devoted to tne Fire Department and Mu
nicipal Court will now be finished. It is
estimated that the work will cost about
$1300. Councilman Grant N. Barker ten
dered his resignation as a member of
the Council, which was accepted. Elec
tion of his successor was postponed until
a special meeting could be called for
that purpose. Mr. Barker resigned for
the reason he was out of touch with tha
other members of the Council on the
Mllwaukle Club, he having signed the
recent statement against the club. J. L.
Johnson was appointed street commis
sioner and his bond was approved. It
was ordered that thistles on private and
public property should be destroyed. No
action of any sort was taken in refer
ence to the Mllwaukle Club.
