Round Housa ox Fire. Just before
twelve Sunday night the watchman at the
round houe discovered the roo! o the
house to be on fire, the same having caught
from an engine that was placed In there In
the evening. He gave an alarm and sent
ome one down street, a Chinaman running
through the streets yelling "quick, quick,
quick!" Night watch Jones was notified
and as well the chief engineer; but. It was
. understood that it was a building 'beyond
the round house, and the city's hose would
not reach the place anyway from the near
est water, so no alarm wa given on the bell.
People living in the vicinity took buckets,
and with a smaM hose the flames wcrs ex
tinguished after quite a hard fight, and
some damage had been dene to the roof.
Those Two Ciunamkx. Deputy Sher
iff John T. Ward, of Portland, arrived In
the city Tuesday and nest morning took
the two Celestials arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Smith to Tortlanu. When arrest,
ed the Chinamen claimed that they had
gotten on at Salem ; but the conductor of
the freight train said they boarded the
train at the car shops in a suspicious war.
After they were taken out of the caboose
two revolvers were found that they had
concealed. Mr. Ward says they are the
Chinamen wanted and were mixed up in
the murder. They had $ioo on their per
sons together.
Our Dignified Ex's. An exchange
ays the OrtgoHia is saturated with small
pox lies, but not until it had called the edi
tor of the Ex, a dirty, Irresponsible fellow.
The Salem Safema calls the Oregouiam
the buzzard, the two Pendleton papers are
using choice epithets, the Koseburg papers
choicer and the Walla Walla papers choic
est, and that Is the way it seems to go with
newspapers ju st the same as ii does with
business men, only the latter use their ton
gues instead of printers ink.
Fatherless. No Institution In Oregon
has quite as much fun poked at it as the
Narrow Guage railroad. The following Is
from an Astoria paper: "They've got a
little fatherless and motherless concern up
the country called a railroad. It Is a nar
row gauge, and trips that they undertake
are attended with misfortune; when the
cars don't upset or jump the track they get
through with about as much certainty and
Eromptness as dues the mall to this city,
rought down on the "Black Mariah."
Foot Prints. A traveling man stopped
In town a day or two this week, and done
up the windows of several of our business
houses In grand style, painting them in
Colors. Grant's Pass Conner. Such a
man was here a few months ago and paint
ed the town red in more ways than one.
Lafayette Re fitter. He also left his Cheap
jonn out naming marks in Albany recent'
Died. Mr. Bard well, father of A. Bard'
well, died at the home of his son last Satur
day at the advanced age of 8y years, and
was buried on. Monday. Mr. Bard well
came to Linn county with his wife in 1S77
from Iowa, and was quite a remarkable old
gentleman.
A R. R. Order. The Democrat Is in
formed that the management of the South
. ern Pacific at Portland have been Instruct
from headquarters not to hire any more
brakemen of inexperienced years; but to
- pet older hands as much as possible. This
Is owing to the large number of fatal ac
cidents resulting recently to young men,
almost boys, on freight trains.
Good Bye Cows. The majority in
favor of restraining the cowsfiom running
at large was emphatic enough yesterday
for our council to act with the confi
dence that they are backed by the people.
Out or Joint. Last Tuesday In going
along the street this side of the O. & C de
pot Capt N B. Humphrey stepped on a
plank, displaced by the cows, and stumbled
off the sidewalk, dislocating his left arm at
the shoulder Dr. Maston, assisted by two
of Albany's most muscular gentlemen re
duced the dislocation and Capt now carries
the arm in a sling.
Election of Officers, At the regular
meeting of Safety Lodge, No. A O U W,
held Monday evening the following officers
were elected : R B Vunk, M W ; J A
Ilyman, Foreman ; A D Barker, Over
seer ; T J Stites, Recorder E A Parker,
Financier 5 Al Savior, Receiver ; John
Chiswell. Guide ; M Cowan, I W ; W E
Tut City Charter, A special meet
Ing of the city council was held last Tucs
day to consider proposed amendments to
the city charter, -preparatory to the pre
sentatton of the same to the next state leg
Islature. Thev will be renartcd by the
committee to the next meeting of the coun
ell. The amendments proposed provide
for the extension of the city limits to that
they will take In Hacklcman's third addl
tion, running beyond Hub Bryants proper
ty, through the Hackleman property to the
ronJ In front of the Nickerson farm, thence
west to the present city limits. Providing
for the Increase of the limit of Indebted
ness from $2000 to $5000 and the Icvlng
ot a tax not exceeding a mum, now 5 mills.
Providing for the punishment for the use
of obcene, abusive and profane language.
Providing for the retraining ot cattle,
mules, jacks, etc. from rnnning at large,
tjlving the city power to buy land for a
public park. Providing for taking up
teams lett standing a certain length ot lime,
and for prevention of cruelty to animals.
Providing for connection w ith main sewers
when within three blocks, now two, so far
as practicable, Providing for power of
council to revoke licenses on party being
found guilty. These amendments will be
seen to be In kceplnc with the growing
condition ot the city, ami are ail reasonable
to the extent of the change proposed.
Harrisuvru's Election. About a
year ago the saloon license, at Ilarrloburg
Vwas raised to $1000. It proved a local op
tion measure. I he saloons stopped ; but
the drug stores kept running. As a result,
though, during the last year it has not cost
a cent to run the city. There have been no
drunks and the Marshal has had nothing to
do. But the sidewalks have become dilap
idated and prominent cltlcn refuse to
consent to the levying of a tax, and as a re
sult there has been a slight reaction. Mon
day at the city election the issue in the
choice of the Councilmen was low or high
license. The low license ticket was elect
ed as follows : Dr W V Mendenall. Tohn
Bennett, Theo. Roach. Wra, Roach. las.
Sabln and J L Fuller. The remainder of
those elected were J P Schooling, Mayor ;
L Douglas, Marshal, nr-d Geo isom. Re
corder, there being no issue except as to
the councilmen. As a result two saloonswlll
immediately be opened in the city and a
revenue of $600 be rained. Thut Is the
way the matter stands at HarrUburg. The
Marshal will now have business, and the
Recorder's Court will be opened.
From Lyonsville Mr. Henry Lyons,
of .Lyonsville, the new town which he has
just established this side of the Mchama
bridge on the Oregon Pacific, was in the
city Tnesday. He Inf Jims J ui that hs had
already sold twenty -one lots in Lyonsville,
all of the purchasers of which declare their
intention of building at an early date, so
that the prospect of quite a thriving village
there Is good. Work on the rod is being
pushed, and Mr Lvons thinks Ureltenbush
will be reached this winter.
Loose Latciistrinos. Those of hos
pitable people who believe there is a social
side to one's nature. Thote of merchants
who tell the public through the papers to
call on them. Those of the minister when
the young man calls with a marriage fee ;
1 hose ot the miser only when the debtor
calls to liquidate. There are several in Al
bany. Those of any gate when an Albany
cow attacks it.
Now for the Post Office. We "are
informed that two petitions are now in cir
culation in this city for appointment as
postmaster. One asks for the appointment
of Mr. C. W. Watts to begin as soon as the
change can be made after the inauguration
of Harrison. The other petition anks for
the appointment of Mr. Frank L. Kenton
whenever a vacancy shall occur. We un
derstand Mr. Kenton a.id his friends do
not want any change until Mr, Thompson
ferves his term out.
A Fear fcl Fight. Sunday four
Chinamen were killed in Portland In a
Chinese pistol and knife fight. About a
dozen engaged in it and forty or fifty shots
were fired. It arose from a gambling mat
ter and seems to have been headed by the
highbinders. It was reported that "Sulli
van," the Seattle gambler who has been In
this city recently was one of the killed, but
this is uncertain. .Mr. Seals, the drummer
who came up last night, says he was pres
ent immediately afterwards with about to,-
000 other people, and that the scene was an
animated one.

tate for a moment before paasing scntenoe on
this oaee proud leader of tho hosts of Baa
jsmlo and Levi. Then as a wave of pity in
terlined with ooeUmpt ewept over his oold
immovable face he told the wretched pris
oner at the bar that be know that tbo relent
less bands of fate bad been laid heavily open

Workman, he was above reproach.

Whereas, It is with great regret that
we learn that the title to what Is known as
the Agricultural farm at Corvallis, on
which is erected the College building, is in
doubt ; and has (by our Supreme Court)
been decided not to be the property of the
State of Oregon,consequently all Improve
ments made or to be made thereon, at the
expense of the funds set apart for the
malntalnance of the Agricultural College
and experimental station are liable to be
lost, therefore be It
Resolved, That In tho Judgment of this
Council no more of the funds belonging to
the Agricultural College or of the appro
priations by the Hatch bin, ought to be ex
pended In improving said farm while the
title to the same Is In doubt j and we spec-
tally call the attention ot our Legislature
to this subject, and that such steps be
taken to provide the State with an Agri
cultural College that shall be free from all
such embarrassments.

as do not advertise. Some of the shrewdest
