An Ugly Runaway
lohn Corno s livelv exurcss team
took a flier through the city yester
day morning about B.iu 0 clock, that
looked for awhile as if something
serious was to be the outcome. The
outfit was in charge of a young man
iv the name of Arthur Emory, and
he stuck manfully to the work of sub
duing the fractious animals and bring-
iiiK them to a final stand. When tney
broke away the wagon tongue fell
from the yoke, the tuiiS having been
cast loose on the outside as a precau
tion against the very thing that hap
prned. and when the horses settled to
the run. the toniiue slipped free, fell
to the treet and broke off ifbout half
way back. Thi lift ihe driver with a
tiii job on his hands but he disposed
of it verv cleverly and wore the fivers

and Commercial streets. It is a mar
vel that no grave results ensued.

Telephone Progress
A considerable amount of the new
cable to be used in changing over
he telephone system has arrived.
Workmen are also engaged in prepar-
ng the .additional section of switch
board. The assurance is again given
that bv Mav 15. or May 30, at the
eery latest, the new system will have
been installed and in working order.
All of the reoresentatives of the
:ompany who have come to Astoria
o assist in the work agree in stating
hat the ilelav has been caused solely
by the 'fact that the number of single
ihones ordered was so unexpectedly
large, so out of all proportion to what
usually ordered in a city of this
size, that it was necessary to make
adicnl changes in the system as first
ill out. And all airree in asserting
that no city will have a finer system
than Astoria.

Mayor Signa
Mayor Smith yesterday signca u
of the warrants and ordinances oassed
upon at the meeting of the council
the preceeding night. The Belland or
dinance relating to tne ciusmg

censes may be forfeited upon a third
rnnvirtinn in the "circuit or ponce
court." and the language of tne meas-1
. ha
ure is such tnat mere may
some doubt as to its legal ettect. in
other words, does the ordinance mean
that the convictions spoken of shall
arise after the passage of the ordi
nance, or would it also include former
convictions, as. for example, the
double convictions of numerous sa

the first convictions were obtained in
February, did not include forfeitures
of license, and besides, the intention
to make it an ex post facto law is
very doubtful, to say the least. Prob
