A Morning Bhue , 4 At 10:50 o'clock yesterday morn ing an alarm of fire was sent out calling the . department to the resi dence of Earl A.

The depart ment responded swiftly and a bad fire was averted on the hills where fire is hard to reach, in point of time. ' " , .

Clark, long and favorably known in this city as chief salesman at the popular clothing house of Judd Brothers on Commercial street yesterday severed his connection with the Messrs. Judd, and will at once enter the service of the Colum bia Trust Company, of Portland, as its Astoria representative of that concern, of which his brother, Frank L. Clark, is president. Edward H. Strcumeyer, equally well known in this city, w'l take the place vacated by Mr. Clark. Mr. Clark has a host of friends in this city who will wish him Immediate and abundant suc cess in his new relation. Hot Drinks Coffee and Chocolate KRAUT Sour Kraut Quart j G0MGT0.1 IVDj'T G AHEAD 111 JOB MR. LEBECK IS SAID TO HAVE PALKED ON 46TH STREET PUBLIC WHARF MATTER. It begins to look as if the plan to construct a public wharf at the river front on Forty-sixth street may nev er be carried to a consummation. After the Mayor had vetoed the ordinance .and the Common Council had passed the ordinance over this executive negation, a contract was entered into with L. Lebeck, the contractor, to perform the work on the improvement. That is, bids were advertised for and Mr. Lcbcck's was accepted as being the lowest. The informal announcement "was made yesterday at the city hall that Mr. Lebeck had refused to sign up on his contract, and still refuse to do so, on the ground that he doesn't want to ,run into a "law suit." In presenting his bid, Mr. Lebeck bound himself to faithfully perform the details of the contract if award ed to him, and gave sureties to the same effect. Hence he is apparently bound to go ahead with the work, but it is understood that he will not do so, and moreover, there is no dis position thus far evinced to, try to compel him to take up the contract. It has been well known for several weeks that the moment the work was commenced one or more of the property owners in the assessment district were prepared to bring in junction proceedings. Mr. Lebeck evidently knew " of the threatened litigation. Councilman Bclland was the only man who opposed the measure in the Council chamber. In open meet ing he called for an explanation of the whole proceeding. The gist of the matter seems ' to be that the wharf is to be a public" one, In the fullest sense of the word, just as the city hall is a public utility, and yet a few private property owners who do not want the wharf,' arc called upon to pay the' whole cost. , J i" It seems to be well understood that the wharf was needed more for the1 brick plant than for anything else, which made it seem all the more strange that a few property owners should be called upon to pay for something that they did not want, and which' was in itself a pub lic utility.; It is said that the courts have uniformally held that public wharfs at the end of streets cannot be treated as a continuation of a street and charged to private prop erty owners. With Mr.1 Lebeck refusing to con tinue with the contract, the next step can only be conjectured. By Way of Amendment In the Astorian's account of the St. Aldemar Commandcry . installa tion in yesterday's issue, several er rors crept in through inadvertance and mis-information, that this paper is desirous of correcting forthwith, as follows: Captain George Wood was installed as Sword Bearer for the new commandcry, instead of Dr. W. C. Logan; and R. M. Foster as Standard Bearer, in place of Gerald Bagnall, as reported; the name of W. E. Grace, Grand Senior Warden of the Grand Comma'ndery was left out of the roster reported, by inad vertance. And it has since develop ed that the new commandery main tains the office of Armourer, which is filled by O. F. Heilborn. This, it is believed, cures the discrepancies that unintentionally appeared yester day. Deadlock Still On The dead lock between George Kaboth and Dr. Logan, both of whom wish to tun for the Common Council from the Second ward for the four-year term, has not been broken. Yesterday Dr. Logan filed his petition for the place, filing as a Democrat. Mr. Kaboth, (however, refuses to enter the race as a Demo crat, thinking that politics should cut little figure in the local election, and he will go before the Citizens' con vention tomorrow night as a " non partisan. He had registered as a non-partisan, also. Both of these gentlemen have many warm friends and it will probably be a pretty race between them. 1 ' : . ALEX TAGG Ice-Cream 25c. : a Qt.

LIEUTENANTS. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon there rolled into the A. & C. yards in this city, a Great Northern Rail way train of four private coaches, hauled by one of the huge mountain climbing engines of that service, and these cars were filled with leading officials of that line, most of them hailing from Jhe headquarter city of St. Paul. -.-,' Among Ihc group of prominent railway people were: J. M. Gruber, general manager of the Creat; North ern; E. L. Brown, general superin tendent W. W, Brougbton, general traffic manager; W. P. Kenney, as sistant general traffic manager; A. H, Hogcland, chief engineer; Alec Stewart, assistant chief engineer, with headquarters at Seattle; M. J. Costelio, assistant traffic manager; and William Harder, the company's general agent at Seattle. Mrs. Gru ber and Mrs. Brown accompanied their husbands on the trip. President Francis B. Clark, of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle, the "North Bank" system, was of the party, as was H. M. Adams, general freight and passenger agent of that line; and the train was in the capa ble hands of Superintendent John McCuire, of the A. & C. Railway. Only a momentary stop was made in this city; a fresh engine being hitched to it, and then it' sped on to Seaside, where it was immediately reversed and left up for Portland and Seattle ahead of the evening ex press out of here at 6:10 o'clock. Mayor Herman Wise was at the depot when the special .arrived and Wet the entire party with a courte ous invitation to stay over and ascer tain some pleasant facts 'about As toria, but the exigencies of the trip forbade this, though the gentlemen severally expressed their regrets at the enforced haste under which they were traveling , and which prevented their acceptance of the mayor's po lite bidding, Messrs. Kenney and Harder re mainder in this city until the coast run was made, and then joined the party for the up-tripi Mr. Kenney said that this was his first visit to Astoria, and from the looks of things he believed he wanted to come back and stay awhile, which, in all like lihood he 'would before the winter had passed. Asked if there was a possibility that the common-point rate on grain would be established for Astoria in the near future, Mr. Kenney confessed that he "had heard a conversation lately which bore upon this important problem, but just how it had eventuated, or whether it had been conclusive - of any determinate opinion he had real ly forgotten," all of which is on a par with the sum of specific infor mation given out by railway mag nates when they are out on the road. He had some very pleasant things to say about Astoria, however, and his interlocutor let him off with this, and passed to converse on general themes, upon which he was much franker and certainly more interest ing. . Clothes Absolute Free. In order to thoroughly advertise his "Monster clothing and hat sale" which begins TUESDAY morning, Herman Wise has adopted a clever plan introduced by a Chicago firm. Before the beginning of the sale, a date is written on two slips of paper, the slips "sealed inside of two en velopes and one deposited with each of the two daily papers, At the end of the sale three responsible men break the seals, the date 13 made known and all customers who hold sales slips for that date presents their sales checks at Herman Wise's Clothing Store and get the money back for all clothes bought on that date, whether the slips calls for $1 or $100 so no matter what you buy on that day costs you nothing; but whatever day of the SALE you buy clothes at .Herman Wise's store you get big Bargains and on one day you get clothes FREE. : Football Team ;The Astoria High School football team will leave for Portland tomor row to play the Portland Academy team there, and later in - the week the boys will meet the Eugene High School team.
