Charging that the Federated lit Side clubs nre working for "the Inter ests" In advocating the, building of the new bridge across the Willamette at the site of the old one at Madison street, A. Van Hoomtssen bitterly de nounced the action of the various dele gates of the federated organisations at a meeting of thi Brooklyn Improvement ami Kepubllcun club Inst night. A Mi ter persons 1 debate followed between members of pro and antl Madh.m street brl.lgers. At the conclusion "f the meeting Father Gregory of thj Brooklyn club resigned as a delegate to the federated cluus. M. G. Griffin, one of the leading pro moters of the old bridge site, spoke In Its favor and was plunged into n hot word war with City Auditor Barbur urn others for taking the stand adopted by the east sldo clubs on the bridge .pies lion. While none of the speakers open ly declared any person or corp. initio guilty 'Ot graft It was Insinuated In manner plain to all that the l'ortlnn Hallway company has Its lobbyist? among the federated clubs and tint these men are fighting for the loca Hon of the bridge on Madison street at the behest of the railway .company and to the detriment of the best Interests of the east side. The speakers forgot to consider the tact that tne Don.i lasuo calls onlv for a bridge at the present site and 'that to build It at any other would require a modification of the law Tlio Brooklyn insurgents declare that the people could easily change this :f the matter were t:ut to a vote. 1 hey contend that the bridge should be built further up the river at some point where the structure would have sur flcient elevation to allow steamers to pass without the necessity of opening a draw every few minutes. They would also have all ear tracks placed below the bridge so that the railways would not Interfere with other traffic. N EXPECTS TO BE HAPPY, TOO Tuesday next Is to be the red letter day on the calendar for the little boy and his big brother. It la circus day. and that means the grand climax to the plans and meditations of the past sev eral weeks. According to the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth announce ments, there Is some Instructive and entertaining amusement in store for those who witness the unloading of the circus paraphernalia. This is said to be an education in itself. The Barnum and Bailey show Is from the standpoint of magnitude one of tho two great circuses now on tho Amer ican comment, and that means that It must be a veritable moving metropolis in the amusement line. From the past reputation of the cir cus, it is onlv reasonable to expect that it still carries with It some of the finest horses to by seen In the country, and these will all be seen to advan tage while the train Is being unloaded. And the manner in which tho work of unloading and setting up camp Is con ducted Is said to be with clock like nre- cislon. Every move Is for a purpose, and on account of the multitude of things that must be done at one time the wheels within wheels turn without Interfering with each other. Then, when this work is nearly com pleted, there will follow the monster parade, in which the spectators will be given their first opportunity to gaze on all the animals and Interesting features that go to make a circus menagerie.

CORNELL ESCAPES PAYING A FIXE An effort was made by one of tho warring spiritualist factions to have all seven defendants in the enso brought at the Instance of Bev. Green (". love against .Sophia Seip and others fined in the circuit court yesterday. it was urged that the defendants have merited punishment by falling to vacate their offices as directors of tho State Spirit ual association after they had been of ficially ousted by tho court. Judge Morrow analyzed the case as far as possible and decided that the secretary, Mrs Tou Kllen Cornell, was tho only one who Ftands in such posi tion that a fine might be Imposed. Ther It was discovered that a rtnai tuae ment that said nothlflg about fine bflf been entered against her, nnd Judgt Morrow held that he was without an thorltv to fine even her. So for th present, at least, no spiritualist money will enticn me county treasury. LETTERS ASKED FOR OX SMALL ESTATES letters on the estate of Charles Is Icy Kinney have been asked for by Jen tilo K.
