He had been drinking heavily and this was evi deritly the cause of his death. He was dressed and lying on his bed when discovered by the proprietor. The coroner, Mr. Gilbaugh, was noti tied and after an investigation it was decided that no Inquest was ncces sary. The decedant had lived in As toria for many years and for a long time engaged in fishing. He was native of-Finland and unmarried. Shatko had to offer in this behalf, but just how many closed for passage hence, could not be ascertained. The "O.

That's w hat happened in a saloon in the red light district Saturday night, when a dozen of the Grecians met and joined issue on something that had its orig in in too much strong drink. Various heads were broken by flying beer bottles and several received ugly slashes from knives. In justice court yesterday, Alex Lucci denied that he had cut George Nicholas and several others with a knife, but they testified that he was one of the principals in the fracas and Judge Goodman fined him $20, The fine was paid. ....FOR A....

A Bit of Biography It is learned, through a well known steamer office? in, the Columbia river service here, that Patrick Sullivan, the young fellow who made the high dive to his death from the main-topsail yard-arm of the British ship Donna Francesca on Thursday morning last (and whose true name is Frank Borg un), arrived in Portland last March from San Francisco, and at that time claimed to have people there and in Oakland, Cal. It is said he has "done time" at Sin Quentin, having been sent up from the Bay City, but for w hat offense has not been ascertained The San Francisco police recognized his picture in the Portland rogues' gallery, and they claim that Sullivan had a wife and child in San Fran cisco, whom he deserted when he came into Oregon. Entertained Finely Mr. and Mrs. G. Zeigler entertained the various members of the three singing societies that had participated in the Saengerfest at their home on Sunday, and the entertainment prov ed most delightful.

Mr. Zicgler had arranged a throne for the Queen on the vc randa, fitted out in white and blue, and adorned with greenery, Slides will also cause trouble, unless the present indications fail in thcir ostensible meaning. . CHARTER COZU! After The A. & C A despatch from Salem last night states: "Stock rates on the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad between Portland and Astoria and Astoria and Warrenton and Seaside, which the Railroad Commission has reason to believe are excessive and unreason able, in comparison to rates in effect on other railroads for equal distances, will probably be placed under invest! gation in the near future Many com plaints of excessive freight rates have been received by the Commission, and the latest came today from Sec retary George W. Warren, of the As toria National Bank, upon the stock rates. The A. & C. charges a straight rate of $1.50 per head upon stock from Portland, and an arbitrary rate of 50 cents addition from Astoria to War renton and Seaside, and the commis sion find! that, if a comparison in rate of the O. R. & N., which is $36. 16 per 34-foot load, and of the Southern Pa cific, which is $29.22 per carload, the A. & C. rate, figured upon a carload basis of ZZ head per 34-foot car, would amount to $44 per carload. The commission will take the matter up with the traffic department of the A.&C." Asks For Extension A. R. Foote, the contractor who has the work of making the improve ments on West Commercial street, from Third street to the east line of the Hinman tract, yesterday filed with bhe city auditor a request for an ex tension of time to complete the con tract. He stated that "unavoidable delays" will not permit him to finish the job in the time stipulated, though the communication does not tell what the delays are. It is 6aid that Mr. Foote, the contractor, has purchased both the Mrs. Trullinger and the Mrs. Smith ptoperties, which were both more or less affected by the grading being done, and it is his intention to raise them so that they will be on the grade. That Posmaster John Hahn will take up the gauge of con tention intimated by the council in its desire to have his property assessed for the construction of a bulkhead, at the rear of his property, is said to be highly probable. Much complaint is being made by several over the whole ob. Second street will be made vir tually useless because of the steep grade. The lots on the north side of the cut, between Commercial and Bond, will lie mostly on an angle that, it. is said by those interested, will practically spoil their properties. Conference a Surces The Columbia conference of Luth eran ministers closed one of its most successful conventions in it history Sunday evening at the First Lutheran church of this city. The conference has been in session since last Wed nesday evening setting aside a part of Friday and a part of Saturday for sightseeing. The evening session were very largely attended and Sun day morning and evening the seating capacity of the church was taxed to the utmost. Sunday evening was the climax of the convention, the' program being very interesting throughout. Addresses were delivered by Revs. H A. W. Yung of Seattle and J. C. E. Oslund, of Spokane. The former spoke on the theme, "The Master Calls You," and the latter on, "The Master Needs You." Both were mas terly, and - were correspondingly ap preciated.' The English choir, assist ed by Mr. Zeigler and Miss Esther N'yland as soloists, rendered several selections. The Swedish choir also rendered one number, and Miss Sund quist played two pieces on the violin. Most of the pastors left yesterday morning for their respective homes, some however going to Seaside for a few days. Last evening Rev. Oslund delivered one of his popular lectures at the First Lutheran Church to a large audience. Prof. Alexis gave a few humorous sketches from life thus assisting in making the evening's pro gram very interesting. : Franchise a Law Now The franchise granted to the Auto matic Telephone Company by the common council became a law on Sunday, that being the twentieth day after the signing of the instrument by the Mayor. The city charter provides that a franchise does not become a law until after the expiration of 20 days from the time it is signed by the Mayor, this interregnum being per mitted to give the people a chance to appeal to the initiative and referen dum law should they so desire. The company,, however, has not yet ac cepted the franchise, and it has only 10 more days in which to do so, and is not done within the next 10 days the franchise will by its terms lapse and become entirely void. Why the company has not accepted the fran chise has not been stated, though of course the fact that it has not done so indicates nothing one way or the other, presumably. Meantime the Sunset Company is going ahead rap idly with its plans for rehabilitating its entire system. At Tillamook, ac cording to the papers there, a plan is on foot to consolidate the two com panies, the Pacific States having made an offer to sell out even before the other company had started to work. In Astoria, however, the Sunset peo ple laughed at the mere idea of giv ing up the field, and their projected expenditure of approximately $100,000 here shows what they think of this field. As far as is known the Auto matic Company has not yet secured a list of subscribers or taken any other steps indicating immediate action on their part. HOLDS SI SEPTEMBER 10TH SET AS DATE TO HEAR RAILROAD COM PANY'S DECISION. , The charier commission held a ses sion last evening at the city halL Councilmen Logan; Kaboth, Hansen, Ltncnweber, Robinson and Attorneya Abercrombie and Smits of the com mission were present. George C Flavel and Frank Patton as represen tative taxpayers, and Superintendent McGuire and Harrison Allen, of the law firm of Carey & Kerr, representa tives of the A. & C. R. R. Co. attended the session. The bill as drafted wis read over by sections and was gener ally discussed. Superintendent Mc Guire called attention to the fact that the measure contained no provision for removal or way of preferring chargef against any of the commissioners to be selected. Mr. Allen in talking over the matter with the commission said: "The Astoria & Columbia River Rail road interest which I represent is not against any public enterprice that is feasible or economical but this bill seems to be a radical departure from any existing legislation and should re ceive careful consideration by the tax payers and council before it is ac cepted, as it calls for an expenditure of a large amount of money and there is no limit to the amount that could be assessed against certain piece of property or the size of any district and that the acts of the commission were not reviewable by the courts." : Mr. Allen further said he was not prepared to state whether his com pany would oppose it or not and ask ed for ten days' time that the matter could be fully considered by the com pany, and in accordance with above, September 10th at 8 p. m. was named for the company to announce their final decision. .''
