Under Quarantine ' The Harrison-avenue home of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Moores is under quarantine at present, owing to the presence of scarletina in the family, one of the children being down with it. Mr. Moores, who is manager for the Sorvnson Logging Company, came down yesterday for an over Sunday visit with his home folks, and all he could get was a mere "look in" and a few long-distance communications.

Familiarizing Themselves The young ladies in the employ of the Pacific States Telephone Com pany, in this city, are busy familiariz lug themselves with the new switch board in the company s new quarters on Exchange steret, going over there in small detachments several times a week and practicing up on the big board, so that when they are trans ferred there, at an early date, they will be in admirable shape to handle the business without having to learn the new mechanism; a matter that will be of decided advantage, not only to them and to the company, but to the subscribers in this city and sec tion. At 4Vclock yesterday afternoon, a reporter for the Morning Astorian was alongside the wrecked barge, No. 'J, of the Standard Oil Company in the lower harbor and found her ca-reent-d to port to a pitch of 50 dc-grt-M, 15 or. 20 of which she had at tained in the hour previous to the visit, according to Second Mate P. Ilanlon, of Karge No. 91, who, with three, of his crew, were standing watch, alongside in two of the ship's boats, there being no footing left aboard (or anything alive. The ship wan submerged as far aft as her main mast, hi-r sicrn standing high and comparatively straight and firmly bedded in the sand spit upon which he was cast, for safety, on Thurs day night last. From the statement of that officer, it apnrar that but two of the six compartments of. the ship, arc Involv ed in the strain and leakage incident to her pounding on the sea-spit she struck on her way into this port, the aftermost tank, and the forward one, the oil leakage and sea wash later in- cuming ner lore-peak, the pump room being unscathed, as yet. Her wirdrM apparatus was removed from her ynterday morning, with the ex ception of the wires overhead, and taken ashore for despatch, later to the headquarter offices at San Fran cisco. She is fitted to carry 27.000 barrels of oil, and has leaked, practi cally, 5ihj0 barrels up to sundown last evening. The effort made to pump the ship clear of oil and water, failed, said Mr. Ilanlon, because none of the fix tures and piping were standard with the ship s httings, and but 300 barrel j were taken from her in the eight ours devoted to that work on Fri- lay night. It is believed now that the inter-tank pipes, which connect the entire system of storage compart ments on the ship were broken when he wa beating so heavily upon the outer spit, and that the oil in the iter- tank found its way to the fore- peak along with that from the adjoin- iur tank; the other four are held to be intact A well known steamer captain who came up the bay about 5:30 o'clock at evening -reported that the big i.irge was in even worse condition ban when" the reporter saw her at 4 m., and that the chance of her heeling clear over on her port beam was good almost to the point of cer- ainty before daylight; a conclusion hat tallies exactly with the fear ex- 'rcssed by her second mate yester day as he lay alongside her in the boat. barae to have obviated the extremi tici to which she has gone since then. At all events there are plenty of peo ple here who will wish all possible success, in the Interests of Astoria and her fishermen and others upon whom the results of the diwster will fall, quite Independent of the barge's owning company. Stepped on a Nail "Dan."the big fire horse that helps to haul Chemical, No, 1, while out exercising yesterday morning, had the bad luck to step on a two-inch wire nail, which penetrated his right fore foot clear to the head of the vicious thing; in consequence of which Driver Bussing has turned him out to pas ture and is treating him for the wound. "Buster" was brought in from the range, to take his place on the tongue of the busy apparatus. Bough a Half Interest t Yesterday afternoon J. J. Utzinger, of this city, closed the negotiations whereby he takes over a one-half in terest in the furniture business of the M. Nelson Furniture Company, on Bond street. Mr. Utzinger is a well known young businessman of this. city, and has had considerable exper ience in that particular line, which will be of value to him and to his associates, as well as to the large clientcllc they ierve. The new line up has the best wishes of very many people for genuine and permanent success. OUR JOINT OFFERINGS. T..

The Bachelor's Wife" and "Mr. Flip" Matinee Today at 2:30. Evening, 7:00 O'clock. For a Pleasant Hour Go to the Grand Our Motto: "ONLY THE BEST" PERSONAL MENTION Council Meeting The regular meeting of the common council will be held tomorrow night. Very little business of importance is on the table for consideration. An ordinance requiring owners of dogs to have a chain attached to them will probably be introduced, but will probably not . pass at tomorrow's meeting. An ordinance regulating sa loons covering all the provisions in the Prael and Belland ordinances, but restricting the districts, and amending section 13 so as to permit saloons to remain open until 2 o'clock on Sun day morinng. but closed after that hour will come up for final passage. The report of T. H. Curtis and Sur veyor Tee on the Adair drain will probably come up for consideration and probably resolutions passed carrying out their recommendations. Experts in the play of the tides here say that the oil exudina !n a teady stream from the submersed hulk, will be carried, for the most part, on the flood, up Young's Bay and rer, rather than up the Astoria waterfront channels. At present the waters of the lower bsv are heavilv charged with the black and greasy stuff and it is quite the dirtiest thing ever when it comes in contact with anything white, such as a boat or ship-side, or anything that will reveal it. Any further submereciicc of No. 1 will mean her practical loss, as every hour increase the hazard and places her in more awkward and peril ous position. Captain Stannard has not yet received word as to the final j disposition of the ship, either as to salvage of abandonment. The word of her rapid settling was brought t6 him here yesterday from Mr. Han Ion, and he at once went below and stood by with his mate'and men. It seems a bit strange that the Standard Oil Company, with its huge and perfect systems, should not pro vide it port where it -despatches such vast quantities of oils, with a sal vage boat and crew to meet just such emergencies as this; and perhaps, by the time it has heard from the fisher men and banners, whose nets are al ready ruined by the scores in this river and whose industry is beinn hampered and curtailed bv the oil- bath .incident to this wreck, it will taxe the steps that should have beeiv taken a long time ago. It is not known what, if anything, has been arranged for the saving of the barge or its cargo. At present cvi-rywing is at a standstill except the gradual dissolution of the whole thing, and every hour of delay makes tne cimnce of salvage more remote llre Standard steamship Maverick, Captain Daniels, which towed the Barge' No. 91 into this port on Tuesday night last, arrived back from Portland-at 11 o'clock last night and went below to be in readiness to range alongside the derelict this morning, and endeavor to pump her clear of all cargo that may be left in her, provided she has not turned over so far as to make the connections im possible. There are those who think that he should have done this stunt after he had delivered his part-cargo to the Standard tanks here on Fri day morning last, since in that case he might have taken enough from the Ho For The Seattle Exposition) During the St. Louis Exposition, Herman Wise gave away five free round-trip tickets to his customers.
