The concert given last Mondav by the Doston Quintette Club wa one of the most refined and pleating affairs ever presented to an Albany audience. We don't know much about music ; but it seemed to us as i( the house fairly swarmed with masses of harmony, expression , volume and compass from the time the quintette's bows first touched the fid violins In the selection from Mr, ijvcndnen to the finale. 0.car Hcntschcl twirled his lips on his flute until the air was fairly convulsed with twirls and twitters and rhapsodies. He was cn thushuticly encored. Miis Anne Carpcn ter sang Bolero. Miss Carpenter is im mense weighs about jot and captivated the audience. She displays cultivation and great compass of voice ; but we know at least a couple in Oregon whose voices have moremelody in public concert for the writer. John F. Rhodes violin solo was applauded and the march of the gho&t, the y conaplrurcy.etc. made the air savorof grave t yard. I his mid-night scene U a grand piece of violin work. Louis Blumenburg's violincello solo was heartily encored, but not responded to. His fine diamond ring also captivated the audience. Miss Carpen ter was a second time encored and Babil lag? by the quintette closed the concert. Time, l hour, 40 minutes. Number pres. ent, about 250. Decreased Valuation. The total tax able property In Oregon, as given by the assessment rolls for 1SS7, was $S4,SSS,5So for iSSS,$S5,S93,4i9. Those counties which gave decreased valuations were : Benton with a decrease of $283,499 ; Clackamas, $7,61 s 5 Douglas $97,935 ; Gilliam, $58, 610 ; Grant, $711,740 ; Lake, $47,597 i Linn, $50,313 ; Marlon, $i,So,S:i ; Mor row, $58,326 Union, $2,633 i Washing ton, $31,490. Therein no excuse for this even on the plea that foreign mortgages have been withdrawn. The truth i the decrease In most cases Is due to the system and present practice of ai segment. " Peo ple generally seem to be trying to see how much they cheat the State. Two Accidents. About 5 o'clock Mon day morning Mr. William Watklns, the coal mine min.was walking along the high sidewalk at Lebanon, near the depot.lt be ing very dark, when he fell off the walk against a bundle of tools he was carrying, an J broke two of his ribs. He boarded the morning train and started for Portland ; but got off at Oregon City and had the fractures reduced. Mr. vYatMns said he would sue either the railroad or clU of Lebanon or somebody for damages. A boy who was walking along near Mr. Wat kins at the same time feil off the walk and i n j u red hi msel f considerably.perhaps sprain Ing his arm. There was no light burning at the tlme.though it Is said it has been cus tomary to have one there. Boys Is DAXGER-Complaint I made that a number of boys in the city between the ages of 15 and 17 are in the habit of congregating on the streets and when girls pass along, attempt to open conversation with them. When they receive no atten tion from the girls they follow them up and indulge in indecent language and con duct We are Informed that these parties are known to the officers of the city and that if they do not desist from this course warrants for their arrest will be issued. A Half Dollar. A worthy minister at The Dalles recently In getting a meal at a hotel gaye the waiter a 50 cent piece for extra attention. That evening the waiter invested it in a game of faro and it kept growing umMI it broke the house. The next iar the waiter struck the worthy man In the fallowing manner: "That four bit piece of yo-rs was a bird; I no sooner cop pered her on Vac king than she won, and I kept getting action on the coin and finally double-shot-the-turn. and bled the house to the tne of a V.,,r AX EVA5CELICAL CoLLEOK. At a Special meeting of the conference cf th Evangelical Church held in Salem Friday it was decided to establish an Evangelical College some where in the State. Bids will Le received from the different cities and towns cf the State f 3t the same. Th B rd consists of Rv J Biwersox, Spokaae ; D Jones, Al bany ; E Woodward, Corvallis ; CC Poling. Salem ; J L Horslmor, Corvallis ; F S Louck, Dy ton ; A Ode (J, Fleasantdale. , Public Scales. -The Democrat U in formed that a petition is to be presented the city of Albany by the grangers of the 'county, asking for the establishment here of some public scales for the use of buyer and seller in the sales of pork, beef, and farm produce generally. The object is to hare a uniform weight for both parties and prevent fraud In the manipulation of local scales. - Was Held. At the piellminary ex amination of Gordon Cooper at Walla Walla for the murder of F. Davis, he was held without bail to await the action of the grand jury. It looks very much as if Gorden may die the way a brother did, only differently. Judge Lynch conducted mat ters in the case of the'brother, while Gor don will be given a regular trial. Nothing Unearthed. The investiga tion of the books and affair of Col. Lec, Superintendent of the Indian school, con tinues at Chcmawa. Nothing of a startling nature has been unearthed. An oRT em ployee has been reinstated.but farther than this there Is no report as yet. Jourtutl. And that is all it will amount to. Col Lee will stay for awhile. THE Bustle The bustle may have gone out of fastion in the East, but it cer tainly has not at Conn Bros, popular groc ery store in this city. There all is stir and bustle, waiting on the crowd of customer that want groceries provisions and crock ery ware. Call on them for holiday groc eries, dolls, crockery ware, etc. Arrived. The steamer "Willamette Valley" arrived at the Bay from San Fran clsco last Monday, with twelve first class passengers and a .small freight. It crossed the bar with soundings from eighteen to twrnty-three feet, tying up at the wharf at Yaquina at 6 o'clock. Its passengers were considerably surprised to see the"Yaquina Bay lying a wrec againsi me jeuy. No Small Pox. Harry Kay and Bert Wilson, of Brownsville, who were in the city Sunday, stated that the Thompson family were residing in that city, and did not have the small pox nor were there any signs of it there at all. An Idea. Some one baa informed a Dem oceat man that every teacher in the primary department of the College since it was or e&aizad has obtained a husband. We have nnt investigated the matter thoroughly, but htiliuve there is enough in it to have several mora primary departmecta established. A Terrible Accident. A Mr. Arnold w ho resides on South Beach was engaged 5n chopping down a tree on Saturday last Hvhen his little girl, some three or four years old, ran In the way and was struck by a falling tree and both her legsbroken, one at the thigh the other at the ankle.

F, Merrill and Misses Annie, Marv and Kate Alt house. several relatives and man v friends to mourn ne loss of a true husband and father and a faithful neighbor. Mr. Althousc wilt long be remembered for the high esteem in which he was held by everybody, the best of monuments to leave behind one. A Co.MPAiaisoN.--Mr. Denham and son and Mr. Wilcox, of Dakota, are in the city, looking over the country with a view to locating. While In the Oregon Land Co.'s ofllce Mr. Denham produced some Dakc ta red wheat and remarked that "when you can raise wheat like that, with your fine climate you ought to amount to some here." Some Oicgon wheat was produced and the Dakota wheat became very insig nificant. Besides being small.shriveled up, tired looking wheat. It Is worth three to five cents a bushel less than our wheat. A Democrat man had a hundred kernels of each weighed. The Oregon wheat weighed just 75 grains and the Dakota wheat 37 grains. Comment is not neces sary. Stood Up. Sunday evening about 10 o'clock Oscar Marshall was passing along Washington Street near the U. P. Church when a couple men stepped in front of him and told him they wanted his money. He started to run, when two more men ap pearcd on the oth-r side, Mr Marshall yelled, and the men cursed. Jas. Powell and Merrill Fish, who were standing In front of Mr Fish's then came up, a shot wai fired by one of the three young men and the would be robbers dispersed. Mr. Marshall admitted that he was somewhat frightened, as they were getting him down to close quarters when the assistance came. Somebody is going to get hurt, if this busi ness is not stopped. IIarrisblrg Council. The Harris burg City Council met last Monday. At the recent city election, three gentlemen T F Roach, J L Fuller and Dr Davis re ccived the same number of votes, 34, for Councilmcn. As there were four receiv ing higher votes and six constituted the Council cuts were to be drawn to see which two should be dccarled Councllmen.

Made a Circuit. Some gentlemen from Millers who wanted to iro to the court house Monday, took a wide circuit around the eastern part of the city, made a sweep from the south directly to the build ing, reaching there ii safety. They had heard for certain that there was smallpox in the Third ward, and didn't want to catch it. Keep cool, gentlemen, there's no small pox here. The Democrat will tell vou about it at once if it should happen. Dusty Mr. J. II. Burkhart returned Wednesday from San Jose, and has con cluded to make Albany his home. At San Jose it was very mild and street sprink lers were being run to keep the dust down. Here such a thing as a dust sprinkler to keep the mud down would be a fine thing. Made $1050 on It. Mr. John Long formerly of this county who bought the Reed property in Salem several months ago for $1,700, sold it yesterday to C S Riely for $2750, and Mr Rlely will aik $3500 for it. That little transaction is cer tainly a favorable item for the Capital city. Tub Chief Tone. Tho almost exclusive topio of conversation on the street ha been the disaster to lha Oregon Pacific's new steamer. People here have regretted the ac cident a much as if it were their own boat. knowing the construction the outside world was liable to place on the accident. Local Talest.

Mr. William Walk I rnin to Portland a day or two ago reported to a newspaper man there that on the property in which he is interested five shafts which are three inches in diameter, have been sunk. At one point a depth of 140 feet was attained. In the bottom of this a seam of fine lignite coal, sixteen feet wide, was lound. in the middle snatt, hallway up the mountain, six and a half feet of coal was found. As depth is attained the coal is drier and of a better quality than that found ncarcMhe surface. The intention Is to have a line built from the narrow gauge road, which is but six anil a half mile frorrl the mine. There I no bridging to be done and the country I level. If the com pany owning the narrow gauge doc not build this extension so a to secure the trade, the gentlemen owning the coal mine will do the work. On the other side of the mountain from where Mr. Watkln's mine is located, coal has been found and two half sections have been taken up. At a point eighteen miles further cast, on the Santiam, another cnal ducovcry has been made. In fact, the whole country in that section I a good field for the coal prospec tor. Perhaps Linn county will have 1 regular coal mining boom. Who know, Teacher' Institute.

The Oregon Developmen Company' new steamer, the "Yaquina Bay," arrived at the Bay lat FrlJay, 53 day 9 hour from New York, when on account of se vere weather it remained outside the bar until Sunday evening. At 4 115 It crossed the bar, in fair weather, In over twenty feet of water, tawed by the staunch tug "Resolute." Wficn about half a mile In side, being a little east of south of New port, It run on ft, sandsplt In the following manner, and under circumstances to show that no discredit can be placed on the Bay as a harbor: Mr. Lord, the pilot, who had run thi boat from New York, turned It oyer to Copt Kelley, who ha been In the employment of the Oicgon Development Co. for several years and It wa under hi pilotage when the accident happened. . The tug was steaming along sounding from twenty to twenty-four fet. Kelley think ing It was not In the proper channel steered the "Yanulna Bay" considerably to the south. It wa drawing 1 1 feet 10 Inches of water. Just a tho tug cried out twenty- four feet by the mark, the ieamcr ran on the large sandspit that jut out from the south beach and tuck fast,untll next morn ing, when at 5 o'clock, the water being at high tide, it was towed oft At tho time there was a heavy wind from the north. When off the spit and In the channel all right, the tow line broke and the wind wept the steainci toward the south jetty It struck the rock of the jetty about half way from the east to the west end, near the south beach hotel. Our Informant, a reliable gentleman who Investigated the matter, who came over on the noon train, say there wa no doubt that hole were stove In the bottom and that it wa filling with water. It had careened toward the north and is undoubtedly a wreck. . Thc4'Yaqulna Bay" wa bought In New York recently for $175,000. it was 257 feet long, 22 feet hold and was finely equipped. It contained 350 tons of coal brought from New York for the company, and So ton of merchandise shipped from San Francisco to valley merchant. The los Is a very serious one, not only to the company, though the best wa In sured, but as well to the valley at large, a vicious and jealous section of the state will at once misconstrue the cause of the acci dent and lay the blame to the bay, when a nearly a we can learn It wa simply a case of carelessness Among those of this city who had mer chandise on the steamer were the following, with the estimated value : i fc oung, $600, Insured ; W F Read. $500, Insured ; L E Btaln, $400, Insured ; M II Parker, $700; Parker I'ro.. $100; Conn Bros, $250 ; P Cohen, $130.
