The news of his tragic action has proven a shock to all bis friends and acquaintances. Letters written to his friends in this city but a short time since gave no indication that he was contemplating anything out of the ordinary. It is believed by those who knew him best that he was tem porarily insane at the time he committed the deed. - ' . ;-' A Long Train. The train which arrived from Port land at 2 :30 Saturday morning was com posed of fourteen cars, about half of which were Pullmans.

Probably the most severe test that the Regulator could be subjected to occurred Saturday in towing up the river . from Crates Point the D. S. Baker, the Hunt ress and the wharf boat. It required considerable ingenuity to so adjust the triple burden as to make the trip suc cessfully, but it was done by placing the wharf boat in the center, the Baker and the Huntress being on either side. Ropes were used to tie them all snugly together, and one from each side to the rear of the Regulator for about two thirds of its length. The whole resist ance came upon the prow of the boat, and as in addition to the immense weight of the tow, the wharf . boat was pushing flatwise across one end, ' about 45 feet wide, and up stream, the strength of the Regulator may be said to be pro digious. The trip of three, miles was made in 45 minutes, and its successful termination reflects great credit on the seamanship of Capt. Sherman who, at tempted a job that anyone else would have divided into three. ' The sight of the four large boats plow ing their way through the waves as one was most unusual, and was grand. It was the largest burden ever borne by the upper Columbia. . PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. A. H. Kennedy- returned to Ar lington last night. - ' Mrs. Lang and Miss Bess Lang went to Portland this morning.

L--... - 1 -"I Our City Dafls Wrestling wiui tiie Sewer r'M-Otner.Onestiosis. u Kreft Becomes Warmed Up Over a - Proposition Submitted by Joles The City Assessment - The regular monthly meeting of the city council occurred Saturday night; present Mayor Mays and Aldermen Joles, Kreft, Haight and Wood ; . absent Lauer and Williams. .. - . After reading of minutes, permission was given to Hon. J. M. Huntington, who was in waiting, to address the coun cil with a petition. It was for a new franchise for the Electric Light Com pany, being precisely like that passed February 6tb, 1892, which had legally expired, by default of that company filing articles of incorporation. Mr. Huntington said that it is the intention of the company to' soon expend $8,000 for new machinery and appliances and they wish to incorporate and have the , benefit of a franchise, unquestioned by any legal technicality. It was granted, upon motion. ' ' A report was read from the commit tee (John Marden, Smith French and S. B. Adams) to whom was referred the matter of making an equitable assess ment for the Langhlin street sewer. The committee . said that they could assess only those who had lots in block .9. vThe . report was accepted, but. the committee not discharged.- A long dis cussion ensued. The mayor stated that it was his earnest desire to perfect a sew erage system in The Dalles ; that it was demanded by necessity, and he would not relinquish bis efforts so long as he was ' president of the council. : The Laughlin street' sewer, by the report of the committee, was as barren of result as when it was first brought up. "There is a! right way to do it," said the mayor, "and we should begin rightly at the very commencement and proceed in a legal way." The discussion led . to a motion that ."a street sewer system be adopted by the city," and a second one prevailed that the street and public property committee employ a surveyor, who shall ascertain what lots on Laugh lin arid Washington shall be tributary. Pending decided action, the defective wooden sewer in block 9 should be kept in as good repair as possible. The sewer problem is one of the knotty ones now under discussion by the council. - A com plaint was then recited by Aid. Haight about - the - cistern at Skibbe's corner, it appearing that it is in an unsafe condition and,, as Aid. Joles facetiously observed "fenced in and looks like a pig pen." Referred to committee on streets and alleys. . The reports of the recorder, marshal, street commissioner and treasurer were then read. The committee appointed to draw up a health ordinance asked for further time. Aid. Joles next drew from the recesses of his coat a paper on which was the figures : "Recorder $75, marshal $75, night watchman $60, engineer $75, street commissioner $2.50 per day, fire warden $10 per month." Before reading them he said, as a preamble, that there was con siderable grumbling from taxpayers about excessive city taxes, and he pro posed to retrench by having the recorder draw up an ordinance, with the salaries per month as above' stated, saving some thing like $1,400 per year. This proved o be the hit of the evening.' The street commissioner was thrown off his guard to the extent of forgetting the dignity of the 'presiding officer " and ejaculated: "I'll expect to get coffee five pounds for a dollar then." Aid. Kreft, who . may be said to be the impulsive member of th council, quickly arose and denounced the scheme with considerable warmth. He recited that the present recorder more than earns the salary he was now getting by his faithful devotion to' duty and estimable work. "Besides,"" said Mr. Kreft, "it is frequently that be gives the council legal advice, which would otherwise necessitate the expend iture of a good many dollars." As to the street commissioner, Mr. Kreft said that the present incumbent was willing to take off his coat and do a good day's work with the crowbar and shovel him self. It ia evident that Mr. Kreft is ob servant and he was . assuredly "worked up." . The motion prevailed to draw up the ordinance. Street commissioner ordered to put in a cross walk on .Eleventh . street to Liberty. - The judiciary committee was ordered to secure legal advice, to find out if they can employ a city assessor and collect taxes, as usual, instead of waiting until a county levy is made by the new law. The moving of the fire-bell tower was referred to the fire and water committee. BILLS ALLOWED.

The churches, without exception, pre sented, a beautiful appearance in their Easter decorations. . CONGREGATIONAL. - At the Congregational church the dec orations were simple . and very dainty and . confined mostly to potted plants. The back of the organ was especially noted, being covered with the red and green leaves of the Oregon Jgrape (ilex -leaved mahoma). On a .stand to the right of the rostrum was a pyramid of golden erytbroniums (rock lilies), the whole presenting a very pleasing effect. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. C. Curtis. Easter com munion service was held after the morn ing sermon. .' The music by the choir was an important feature in the day's services. bt. Paul's episcopal. , St. Paul's chapel was tastefully deco rated with palms and potted plants. Suspended in the chancel window was a large cross of calla lilies.' The altar and chancel rail were daintily arranged, and the baptismal font was entwined with ivy," while surmounting this was a calla fully five feet-in height with several blooms, that attained its growth during Lent. The organ was also . decorated with evergreens and daffodils. The new altar cloth, pure) white trimmed with gold, used for the first time, was the gift of Mrs. Lpchhead, and is very beau tiful." The services .- during the day, which were conducted by the rector ,Rev. E. D. Sutcliffe. were from the beautiful and . impressive 'Episcopal ritual. The music by a special choir was excellent and equalled the professional choirs of the city churches. . ' . METHODIST EPISCOPAL. ' The altar of the M. E church was fairly a . bed of flowers, in the center of which was a large evergreen cross. . A large number of house plants, as well as an abundance of wild flowers, were used in the decorations, which were most artistically arranged. The black board, designed by Mr. J. Parrot, occu pied a prominent place. ' The pupils of the Sunday school gave an interesting entertainment in the morning, added to which the solo by Mrs. L. Bradsbaw and the selections on the vacallion by Mrs. Grace Condon, who thoroughly understands the instrument and is an artist" in that line, formed a pleasing exercise.' At the close of the service the pupils of the school were presented with beautifully decorated Easter eggs. ' In the evening Rev. Whisler delivered an excellent Easter discourse to a - large audience. . catholic. . The Easter services in the Catholic church yesterday were very impressive.
