one of the children being down with
it. Mr. Moores, who is manager for

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.

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
