The funeral of Walter Conger, for merly of thla city, where he was local weather observer, was held at Port land yesterday. He died at Chehalls, Washington, on W'ednesday.

An Investiga tion by tho coroner, however, showed that death was due to apoplexy, which waa brought on by excess of drink. The Oermnn ship Wllkommen cleared from Portlsnd yeaterdiy afternoon for St. Vincent for ordera. She la being dispatched by Epplnger ft Co., and carrlc 178.0S7 bushels of wheat.

The body was lying In a etui I low pool of watr. and It It tha general supposition that thw unfortu nate man had fallen from the bridge during the nlcht and was rendered un conscious. Hit body la thought to have rolled Into the pool, which waa of suf ficient depth to cover It. and death by drowning wat the result. The coroner returned a verdict of accidental death. Mr Leabo wat well known through out th state and waa one of the lead ing stockmen of that tectlon, Conalrurtlng Quartermaster Downs.

The Hrltlsh thlp Cromartyshire. Cap- tiilr, John Held, from Aatorla for Queenstou n v.lth a cargo of wheat and barley, put Into San Francisco Wednes day for repairs and to have her car go re-ttored. On December 15th the Cr.minrlvshlre encountered a gale, with confusing seat. About 8 p. m. a gale struck the ship, throwing her over on her beam' end. Her starboard tide was completely under the water and gradually settling over. Captain Held hs compelled to Jettison about 3000 hags of barley to right the ship. The starboard bulwark and the stanchions between the fore and main rigging were carried away. The storm continued from the lath to the morning of the 10th. The Cromartyshire- Bailed form this port on December 8th with a car go or wh'at and barley for Cork for orders. She was dispatched by Kerr, Glfford ft Co. The Irrltlsh steamship Chlng Wo left Portland early yesterday morning and although drawing nearly twenty-three feet, by virtue of the present high wa ter and the present high tldet. suc ceeded In getting down aa fur as the fital hogbick opposite Tongue Point when at extreme high water the went on hard and fast. This happened yes terday afternoon about 4 o'clock and while she was Just ahead of the river steamer Hereul?a. Thla Is only anoth er Instance that showt the utter folly of trying to load the larger ships and steamshlpa at Portland when It could be dono chaper and quicker at Asto ria. At It waa the Chlng Wo waa lightering' about 500 tons of her cargo down here ao as to be able to get down the river and even then failed to do no without delay. Fortunately ah- Is favored by a slightly higher tide today and may be able to get off this afternoon. . . The reports from Eastern markets state that while trade In salmon Is very quiet the market W firm and still higher price are looked for when the spring business materialises. Stocks on the const are extremely light. Some goods are entirely cleaned up. and It looks as though. In the spring or early summer. It would be difficult to obtain some grades. Although there waa a fairly large pack this year. It la still over one million case short of the year before, and. coming In. the mar ket! ahould feel the effect early In the summer. Clama are very firm and prices are higher, with stocks In pack ers' hands practically all cleaned up. Prices for the 1901 pack are expected to be considerably higher than they were last year, owing to a great many outside packers who came Into mar ket, having cut prlcea. making heavy hwses for themselvea, rendering them unable to pack for the coming year. Thla will strengthen the market and prove a good thing both for packer and Jobber. XMAS SERVICES AT KNAPPA. The Christmas celebrations here were unusually Interesting. Monday evenlnar the Presbyterian held their exercise and festival, which waa at' tended by a large audience. On Tues day evening the M.

MUTILATED THE ORDINANCE. Way! and Means Committee Report That They Could Not Be Their Way Clear to Grant Buch Sweeping Concession. The ways and means committee of the Common Council and City Attor ney Rrnlth filed their report with Audi tor Nelson yesterday afternoon on tha granting of a blanket franchise for street railway, lighting and heatlns privileges. Thla report waa accompan ied bv an opinion from Attorneys Tay lor, Bowlby and J. H. Smith, which wm asked for by the commute. The re port w tha committee wu In substance a follows: The proposed ordinance cover threa purposes, via: Bireet railway, elec tric lighting and steam heating, tnd In their opinion franchise should be granted covering each of ths sepa-. lately iq order to beat protect the clty'f Interests, They recommend thai a franchise for trit railway purposes should b9 (rrantfd only for particularly designat ed etmta and th ordinance granting sfiW should pffrvlde that the fran chise Shrill tie .forfeited as to the street! or portloft of streets upon which the grantees of (ft franchise have not constructed and are not operating atreet rnllwayt at the expiration of five year from the date of the approval of tha ordinance. In consideration of thla the railway company shoull construct and keep In repair that portion of the streets covered by tracks and to a dis tance of one foot outride of both taila and the portion of the atructure un derneath. Also that the city receive a revenue of $30 annually from each car operated. I'efore granting electric lighting , framings city should consider the I ad Inability of constructing Its own plant, nnd no franchise should be (granted unless the recipient thereof be I required to Install a modern plant and to furnish lights at greatly reduced ratet. And last, mat each franchise be granted only upon auch conditions and with such limitations at will adequate ly protect the Interetta of the city. The greater portion of the report waa In clow conformity to the opinion of the attorneys and while It does not favor the granting of unlimited privil ege without some adequate return to the city. It favors the granting of the franchise nith limitation, such aa are considered necessary to protect tha In terests of the municipality. The mayor did not get to aee the re port yesterday and has, therefore, not as yet decided to hold a special meet ing of the council. On account of the nature of the report tlwre may be no meeting till the next regular session of the council. THk HALF CENT.
