Bold la The Dalle by Dlukeley it 11 ughtou The city council met last night in reg ular session, a full board being present. It was a model meeting for the dispatch of business. Aid. Kreft ,was the last to arrive, and ho was fully adorned in war paint, maintaining his belligerent atti tude during the whole of the evening. It was evident from tho first that he in tended to hold the mayor down to strict parliamentary practice, and tho mayor accepted tho gage of battle, perhaps in1 excess of the alderman's expectations, for his gavel beat almost a 1 tattoo in the rapid disposal of tho several points of business as they came up. The first intimation of cholcr on the part ot the alderman was over the read ing of the communication from tho As toria chamber of commerce, stating that whereas the United States had caused to be built a battleship to be named the Oregon in honor of our state, to bo launched about Oct. 20th, resolved that tho Astoria chamber of commerco com municato with tho boards of trade, city councils and other state organizations to co-operate with the Astoria chamber of commerco to procure necessary funds for the purchase and presentation of a suitable testimonial, and recommending that each of the above-named organiza tions send one delegate to a convention to bo held at Portland, Or., October 7th. At tho conclusion of tho reading th mayor stated that ho "did not believe tho finances of tho city would warrant any such " "I move that tho recommendations in tho communication be complied with," interrupted Mr. Kreft. Tho mayor blushed a second from surprise, hut quickly recovering, put tho question, which was lost, and thence forth his face assumed a set expression and then there were two grim faces till tho end of tho meeting. Tho unusual diversion was too much for Joles, and his customary loquacity gave place to studied quictudo and an amused ex pression. No action was taken on tho Astoria communication. Provious to this two petitions wore read, ono lrom Messrs, Bradshaw, Wm. Michell, et al., praying that tho prop erty in tho vicinity of Fourth and Fifth and Washington ho ', hotter protected from fire. Referred to tho proper com mittee The other petition was from Nelllo Waldron and Frank O. Waldron, praying that tho city execute a deed for lots 1 and 2, block 3, Trevett's addition. Referred to tho recorder to make out deed if the statements in petition were found correct. The committee on streets and public property presented n roport, recom mending that on account of the present condition of tho city treasury, the peti tion for an arc light at the corner of Third and Liberty be not granted ; also that the inclined sidewalk recently built on the bluff be not accepted bb a donation to the city, as the city has other steps adequate for tbe purpose, Roport adopted. The committee on health and sewers reported the work on the sewer exten sion completed by C. M. Fouts, who charged 13 cents a foot for 1,400 lineal feet. The committee on streets and public property roportcd as to the rock crusher, that it bad been located on the old brewery grado, workmen hired and that it was now In successful operation. Ro port accepted and placed on file. Tho bills wero then rend, on motion all those referring to the crusher be handed to the finance committee in or der to determine which of them were subject to the county bearing half of tho expense.

Kreft spoke of several matters that should re ceive the attention of the council. One of these was the matter of sidewalks on Eleventh street, a number of property owners not having complied with the in structions to build sidewalks. The re corder was instructed to order same to be built immediately. Mr. Kreft then said there was a defective sewer on the property of which Mr. Rorden was agent, and at present occupied by Mr. Lewis, on the corner of Ninth and Union. The recorder was instructed to serve proper notice looking to an abate ment of the nuisance. The city marshal was further instructed to enforce the or dinance connecting all sewers, the own ers of which had thus far refused to comply with the notice already given them. It appearing that there are several team licenses unpaid, a motion carried that the marshal at pnee enforce their collection. The petition of C. E. Bayard and others then came up, praying for the re moval of about ten feet of the west side of Court street, unlawfully fenced, and tho removal of the obstructions on tho south side of Ninth street, between Union and Court, consisting of a fence in tho street adjoining the lots of Thos. McGraw and Mr. Drews. On this prop osition an animated discussion arose be tween Aid. Eshehnan of the one part and Aid. Krelt and Butts of the other. Tho former contended that it was a nec cessary improvement, while Mr. Kreft said there was not an open street there. Put to a vote, the petition was granted by 4 to 2. Mr. Story then arose onlbohalf of Mr. Mesplie, and stated that tho lattor's horse had been impounded and sold for 10 without his knowledge. Mr. Mes- plio mado a statement, charging that the horso had never left homo and must have been driven from tho placo. In re ply tho marshal stated where ho had found it on Ninth street, that ho had advertised it ton days and notified Mr. Mesplio. Tho recorder enlightened tho council on tho charter law providing tho manner in which a suit for damages shall bo brought, and on motion of Aid. Hudson, it waB decided that should Mr. Mesplio consider himself aggrieved, ho should proceed beforo tho recorder's court, as provided by the ordinance Adjourned. PERSONAL MENTION. Messrs. K.
