It would bo economy, and at the same time add ma terially to the appearance and general attractiveness of the city. He 'deplores the policy of cutting down the hill and declare that Astoria will yield one of her chief claims to beauty if she does not save her hills and establish quick transit communications between the high and low level of the city, ns hha been done in hundreds of other citie like Seattle, San Francisco, Lo Angele, all whose lofty sites are among the price- los proiiertie of those place. He remark the steady progress of the city and is pleased with it and hope to see an access when he shall come again as he is certain to do. Mr. Schenck left last evening on the Portland express for his Hood River farm and will go from there to his professional desk at Omaha. TRY IT JO IiNSON BROS. GOOD GOODS. Clash of Authority. Night before lnt when the apparatus from No. 1 engine house wan In attendance upon the chim ney fire at tin corner of Dunne and Ninth trec, one of Ed. Llewelyn' hore got hi foot In a hole in the stivet planking and in hi effort to extricate it. pulled o hard he tore off the shoe and part of the quick of the foot, bulling the animnl o that it was necessary to turn him out for a day or two to rest tip. Ed put the animal in a vacant lot just back of the engine house yesterday morning and the big fellow fed around and enjoyed hi outing to the full. At the noon hour Llewelyn went home to dinner, and on hi return found the horse gone. Thinking he had broken out he Miivted to trail him, and met a lioy who Informed him that Poundmaatcr O'Neil. the new appointee, had collared the horse as a stray, or vagrant, or ome- lilug like that, and waa marching him off to the city pound. The popular driver was t long In overtaking him and the horse, and then the clash of authority arose. Ed demanded the horse in the name of the Are deportment of the city of Astoria and the poundmaster iid it was in custody of the police do partmcnt, and under arrest; but that wouldn't go down with the fireman, who declared that the police had nothing to do with fire 'horses; they were immune I from the ravage of that department and he must hae the horse at once, in cose a Are broke out while they were talking about it. This seemed to con vince the "linpressa'rio" of the dog- pound, and he relinquished the horse to 11. who led him back to the lot in triumph. He i still lame, but he ia In his own municipal pasture, all right, and he wjll stay there, police or no police. Broke Her Neck. A line young gray nmre, shipped from Portland to this city via the steamer Hasealo, and which reached here yesterday morning, broke her neck and Jed instantly on the dock, ; shortly after landing here, and while they were attempting to harness her. She reared and lost her balanee.and falling backward, caught her head on nn in-turn, md Bnapped the neck-bones like pipe-stems. She was the property of M. 0. Mace, of Seaside, who came down on the noon train with the intention of driving her to that city. , Probably a Canard. There has been a good deal said during the past few days about the untoward actions of An drew Honnula. the Astorian who was lately discharged from the insane asylum at Salem, and who had returned to this city, and again disappeared, and whose whereabouts were a mystery to his family and friends. Yesterday there was a yarn going about that he had been sen at the Arnold "merry-go-round," on Monday evening lat. and that he was hatless, coat less, and armed with a re volver; that when he was approached he fled over the Fourth-street hill and disappeared in the brush on its sum mit. This story li not believed at the sheriffs office, as the man is practically known to have been in Portland on Sun day evening, and in quiet, healthy, con dition. At all events no search will be proseonted until there is something more definite reported in relation to the affair. Licensed to Wed. A marriago license has been issued to Mr, George H. Koefed, of Ilwaco. and Miss Grace Russell of this city, by County Clerk J. C. Clinton. The charter commission met la.4 night In the city hall with 13 member present. A number of Important matter osme up for discussion, and adoption. The amend ment relative to municipal ownership of certain public utilities wa adopted unanimously. An amendment making the office of city physician elective instead of ap pointive waa withdrawn. An amendment specifying when an office in the city shall be deemed vacant, wa adopted, and also one providing for appointment by the council of men to fill any vacancy in an office caused by failure of the one elected to qualify. An amendment changing the present charter so that the mayor shall have the right to cast the deciding vote in case of a tie in the council, waa withdrawn. Probably the most important amend ment which has arisen thus far i the one introduced by City Attorney Smith giving the council the right to make an awment of not to exceed 2 per cent. A at present 1 per cent i the amount (K-rniitted that body with an additional I per cent for pecial taxation. The amendment as interpreted by Mr. Smith would give the city ample fund for meeting its obligation in a financial way, without resorting to the present in iquitous aystem of fines and forfletures. The amendment waa opposed by Judge Taylor on the ground that the people were heavily enough taxed as it was, and any additional taxation would work a hardship on the citizen. He waa not speaking for an open town, which waa declared necessary by a number if the present tax wa kept, but thought that the city could get along on the present tax, and raise the shortage by other means than from gambling, etc. The discussion wa quite warm at times, and proved interesting. A vote on the amendment showed 12 for and 1 against. Judge Taylor voting no, but insisting that hi negative was not by any means to be interpreted that he wa in favor of an open town. Three amendment were introduced relating to the government and proper regulation of saloons, gambling ,etc. They were laid over until the next meet ing. One introduced by Judge Taylor, limited the number of saloons in a block to one, except in the case of where more than one saloon already exists in the same block. Regarding the fixing of the. boundaries of the city two amendments to the clwrter were proposed. The principal difference is that one takes in the site of the Tongue Point Lumber Company's property, and the other doe not. It is understood that the mill owners object to being included in the city limits. Doth amendments were laid over until the next meeting. Slashing Finished. All the 11 acres on the site of the new reservoir have been skished of the brush on them, and the contract i now finished. Next in order will probably lie the calling for bids by the water commission for excavating the site. This will in ell likelihood not take place until the commission has de cided on whether a consulting engineer shall approve the plans and specifications for the work.

Ball, a man em ployed on the section crew, on the rail road here. The arrest wasi made in com pliance with a. request from the Sheriff of Claekaniad county, who wired his de scription and stated that he was wanted on a charge of seduction. A deputy sheriff will probably arrive today to take Ball to Oregon City. The prisoner de nies tha charge and says he was never inside Clackamas county. Paid the Costs. Constable John Sayre, of Justice Goodman's court, returned from Portland wita R F. Beatty in custody, who was charged with assault with a deadly weapon by J. M. Adams. Beatty was placed under examination, onu wltii tbo concurrence of t!, com plaining witness, was allowed to pay the costs, and waa released.
