Delegates Looked Up.
Last night's meeting of the board of
fire delegates was entirely too quiet, for
a wnue. it was so quiet that some one
thinking there was nobody up stairs
locked the gate in the yard near the foot
of the stairway. When the meeting ad
journed, the delegates found they were
locked in, and as the board fence . is
about fourteen feet high, they were ap
parently in for good. When this dis
covery was made things were not so
quiet, and from the amount of yelling
done, the impression was. created that
the marshal was being murdered, and a
crowd soon gathered. When the cause
of all the noise was discovered, the boys
insida were encouraged to "Btay there."
Marshal Lauer soon arrrived and gave
the imprisoned delegates their liberty,
and then everything was serene again. -
Council Meeting Cast Night.
The city council met last night j pur-,
suant to adjournment; present the
mayor, recorder and all the councilmen
except Boss.
It was expected that some proposition
would be made by our own and other
electric light companies for furnishing
arc lights for the city, but the proposi
tion did not materialize. Councilman
Nolan explained the situation at some
length, saying, among other things, that
he did not think there was room here
for two electric light companies, and he
preferred doing business with the pres
ent company, if it could be done. He
thought there was, or if not there ought
to be, some way of compelling the com
pany to furnish incandescent lights to
the city at the same rate they were fur
nished to private citizens, and moved
that a commute of three be appointed
to examine into the question. Council
man Thompson seconded the motion.
He agreed with Mr. Nolan, only sug
gesting that if the present company
would not furnish the lights that some
other company probably would. The
motion was carried, and the mayor ap
pointed as such committee Councilmen
Nolan, Kuck and Champlin.
A petition was filed by J. C. Baldwin
asking for a deed from the city to him
to property lying between his buildings
at the foot of Union street and the river.
Mr. Baldwin claims to have bought the
property long before the city acquired
title, thirty years or more ago. This
petition was presented once before, and
was refused by the council, it being
claimed by it that the water front be
longed to the city. It was referred to
the' judiciary committee.'
The question of impounding stock
running at large in the city limits again
came up, and after considerable die
cussion as to not interfering with stock
running in the pines or portions of the
city limits where they did not annoy
anyone, it was orderded that the ordi
nance be enforced, but that the matter
be referred to committee on streets and
public property to fix the limits in which
stock may not run at large. .
. It appearing; that there were a few
minor changes desires in the charter,
notably one fixing and defining the
western boundary which now rune down
to and includes Klindt'a place, it was on
motion ordered that a committee con
sisting of the mayor and three council-
be appointed, to suggest any corrections
needed, with power to call in three tax
payers to assist them it deemed neces
sary, and Thompson Nolan and Johns
were appointed such committee.
The matter of providing a cart and
hose for the district in the pines was
brought up, and referred to the regular
committee with power to act.
' There being ' no further business, the
council adjourned.
SUDDEN DEATH OF G- W
Expired at Bis
Store ill
t?day.
STAVER
Portland Te-
With but a gaep, without the slightest
warning that the grim messenger with
his dread summons had come tp him,
George W. StavPr, head of the widely
known agricultural implement house of
G. W. Staver & Co., reeled in his chair
yesterday morning and fell over dead.
Death was instantaneous.
Shortly after 8 o'clock Mr. Staver
reached the store at 241 Front street,
and, as was his usual custom in begin
ning the day's business, commenced the
opening and examining of blB mail. He
had greeted M. B. McFaul, the book
keeper, with a cheery "good morning,"
and seemed to be iu excellent health
and spirits. .
A half hour bad passed, Mr. Staver
being still occupied with bis correspond
ence, when some matter of business
contained in one -of the letters caused
him to turn and consult Mr. McFaul.
The latter went to his employer's desk.
and together the two were discussing
the proposition broached in the letter,
when suddenly Mr. Staver, with a quick
gasp and catching of his breath, let his
head fall backward and before the look-
keeper could seize him had sank from
the chair to the floor, resting in a sitting
posture. . ,
Mr. Staver in life was a very heavy
man, his weight ' being 210 pounds.
Cocnizant of his inability to lift the
form, of the stricken merchant alone,
McFaul ran into the store and sum
moned Mr. Staver's brother, Samuel
Staver, to bis assistance. Together the
two men raised the dying man, laying
him upon his back upon a desk. ' Mr.
McFaul then hurried to the telephone
and rang for Dr. Rockey. The physi
cian was not in,- but the call was ans
wered by Dr. Dutro, occupying offices
with Dr. Rockey, it being but a few mo
ments after Mr. Staver was stricken that
the physician was on the scene.
His services were not required, bow
ever, for Mr. Staver was beyond all
earthly id. He was dead. The cause
is supposed to have been apoplexy. Un
dertaker Hoi man was notified, and the
body removed to the home; corner
Twelfth and Clay streets.
George W. Staver v3 a man ot about
65 years, and has been a leading spirit
in Portland mercantile life since the
firm of Staver A Walker commenced
business here in the early '80s. He
leayes a wife, two daughters and a son
to mourn his sadden taking on. The
son, John tstaver, is engaged in
business in San Francisco,. Mies Nellie
Staver lives at home. The- other
daughter. Ida, is now Mrs. Molding, of.

Her Ship Came In.
' Miss Maggie Hamilton, of Spokane,
who for two years has been employed in
the Stockholm dance hall, has received
word from San Francieco stating that
her uncle who died a few weeks ago, left
her a large estate, valued at $50,000.
She has announced ber. intention to be
gin a new life, and is preparing for a
trip to Europe. She will resume her
true name of Maggie McFarland, which
she discarded when she ran away from
her home at Grand Junction, Iowa.
The news of ber good fortune came just
as Mayor Belt's order to close the dance
halls of the city was causing most of the
women employes to wonder how they
were to live through the bard winter.
