B. F. ALLEN 8 SON, 365-367 Commercial Street Routine business occupied the atten tion of the Chamber of Commerce at the regular meeting held last evening. The chamber was notified that the American mining congress would meet at Portland August 22-27. and that As toria was entitled to three delegates to this convention. No appointments were made last night, but any three Astorlans who desire to represent the city may obtain credentials by calling upon President James W. Welch. fare about to be repaired, were respon slble for the meeting, but many other taxpayers attended. Frank patton, George C. Flavel and James W. Welch were appointed a committee to see that the street Improvement was properly made. It was stated at the meeting that some of the permanent street Im provements recently undertaken were not satisfactory, and It is the Inten tion that there shall be no more cause for complaint on this score. The meet ing adopted a resolution expressing the Idea that the city should purchase a rock crusher and a steam roller for street work. The resolution .will be presented to the council next Monday night Chief of Police Halloclc Is In receipt of a request for Information concern ing the bogus priest who was arrest ed and Jailed here In 1895 for opening a telegram addressed to Father Dell man, The police of Munster, Ger many, have taken the man into cus tody on a charge of fraud and forgery and they are anxious to secure all the Information possible. The request comes from O. Lohan, acting German consul at Portland. The bogus priest was arrested here August 4, 189S, and was tried on September 20. Father Dell man suspected that the man. was an Impostor and had written Arch bishop Gross for information. The re ply of the archbishop came by wire, and the bogus priest who happened to be at Father Deilmans apartments when the message was delivered, took the liberty of opening the telegram. He served seven months In the county Jail for the offense. After leaving this city he got into similar trouble else where and has finally landed in jail in Germany. Chief Halloclc has a phgtd graph of the fellow and. considerable Information for the German authori ties, which will be forwarded. According to the Portland Telegram, the firemen's tournament which was to have been a feature of the Fourth of July celebration, has been post poned because of the Inability of the Astoria team to be present. The Port land races will take place July 7-8. The Astoria team wtU be at home on the Fourth. A meeting of the team will be held this evening, when arrange ments will be made for the Portland trip. The question Involved In the mat ter of the Improvement of Commercial street from Fourteenth to Seventeenth Is as to whether or not It Is advisable to ' replace the present underpinning with piling. Councilman Lebeck be lieves the work had better be new throughout while City Attorney Smith thinks posts should be set up on the sawed-off piles now in the ground.

HEILBORN SON I Astoria's Leading House-furnishers ' City Treasurer Dealey has figured It that, by a transfer of money from the city hall fund to the general fund, he will be able to put the city on a cash basis. In a communication which was presented to the council last night he asked to be authorized to transfer $6000 from the hall fund to the general fund. This would enable him to call in all outstanding warrants, and the money could be returned later when required for building purposes. The communl cation was referred to the ways and means committee, which will report at the next meeting. The Third ward is again In trouble, This time it Is in trouble of the most troublesome kind, and it Is probable all the official force of the municipality will be necessary to get It out, Coun cllman Belland made an official state ment of the difficulty last night . He related that sheep, goats and lambs had contracted the habit of congregat lng and making raids upon the prem ises of east enders when they were wrapped In the arms of Morpheus, Many beautiful flower gardens had In this manner been destroyed, and gen erally there has risen a pronounced sentiment against slieep, goats and lambs. The city attorney was appealed to. "Tell the dog-catcher on them," said Mr. Smith." Just what will be done Is a 'question, but the council must! come to the" assistance of the Third ward if it wishes to keep that end of town In peaceable condition.
