lation to moving a hone for Mrs,

A remonstrance was read as coming
from City Surveyor Tee protesting
against the propose improvement of
Alameda avenue upon the grade pro
xwed by Paul Aho, which protest Mr.
li amplified later in the evening by a
statement declaring the grade imprac
ticable, and the scheme of improvement
imHtsible in view of the charter pro
vision, which requires the property to
be assessed therefore to lie qualified in
value to liear a 75 r cent tax. In thi
instance the proHrty subject to taxa
tion for the improvement has an as-
sed valuation of alsmt $4,500, an
amount far too low to bear the cost
of a $u.(itKI improvement. The remon
strance was ordered tiled.

city hall janitor at $50 per month was
read first and second times and referred.

This brought the council to the matter
of the election of a successor to former
Councilman J. V. Burn, and after a bit
of by-play, for and against the move
ment, it was determined to pnss-ed w ith
the election, and Mayor Suprenant called
for nominations. Councilman Bel land
nominated James W. Welch for the
honor, and Councilman Morton followed
by naming O. 1. Petersen as represen
tative from the Second. Nominations
were declared closed at this Juncture,
and the ballots were ordered taken.
The result was: Welch 3, Petersen 8,
and the mayor formally declared O. I.
Petersen duly elected councilman from
the Second ward of Astoria, as succes
sor to J. V. Burns, resigned.
The mayor, on his own motion, then
nominated Councilman Morton to be
president of the council, and this passed
without even a sign of dissent.
This brought the volume of business
to a standstill and a motion for ad
journment was acquiesced in promptly
and unanimously.

IN THE TROUBLE SH00P.
Henry Wciman, who is charged with
criminal assault by (J. Hamilton, re
ceived a hearing yesterday in Justice
(ooduian'a court.
After hearing the testimony of Ham
ilton and three witnesses, Deputy Prose
cuting Attorney Abcrcrombio elicited
enough evidence to warrant Justice
tSoodman binding him over for appear
ance in the circuit court with bonds
placed at $150.
Hamilton presented anything but
handsome appearance with his head
swathed in bandages and hardly able to
force the words Is'twcen his teeth, while
Weiuian seined unconcerned a to what
was in store for him.
In giving his testimony Hamilton said
he had taken few glasses of beer Is'
font going to the boarding-house kept
by Weimau in order to deliver a mes
sage to some acquaintance who were
in the dining-room. On arriving there
he had no sooner stcpsil into the risun
when he was ordered out; this he hesi
tated alsmt doing for an instant, and
ln-fure he had time to go,
even if he had cared to do
so, he was knocked down and
kicked iu the face; he thc.n staggered
to his feet and found hi. way upstair
to the room of an acquaintance. Here
he remained awhile, but fearing to go
down alone he ersuaded the other man
to go with him as far a the street and
at the same time drawing his knife to
defend himself.
He had no sooner reached the lower
floor when, according to bis testimony,
he was struck in the side by some mis
sile thrown by Wciman. who again or
dered him off the premises. A he was
then in an alleyway he refused to go
and was attacked by Wciman and hi
brother with an iron poker, breaking
his jaw' in three places.
On the other hand. Wciman says Ham
ilton was drunk and that be did not
throw anything and only hit him with
the Mker after Hamilton had lunged
at his neck with the knife.
