For some time much discussion and

The action of the council last nizht in
gard to lighting our streets with arc
ghts will meet the approval of a long,
uffering public, who Lave been clamor
ing for more light ever since they have
been deprived of what was the pride of
the city the arc lights. While ap
preciating the tact that the council did
what they deemed expedient for the wel
fare of the city, it was a question in
many minds whether in the long run
it was not a mistake to remove them.
It is therefore hoped that ere long we
will bask in the brilliant light afforded
flby the electric current and cease groping

LET THERE BE LIGHT.
So Said tlie Dads at Their Meeting Last
Might, and so Sajr We All of Us.
The regular monthly meeting of the
city council was held last eveninor.
Mayor Nolan presided, with Councilmen
Stephens, Keller, Barnett, Kuck, Gun
ning, Butts and Johneton preeent.
A committee on charter for Dalles
City was appointed, consisting of Keller,
Kuck, Johns and Menefee.
The petition of H. Herbring to es
tablish a grade on the west end of Third
street was referred to the committee on
street and public property with power to
act.
The petition of Hawn and Walthers
to open a saloon was granted.
In regard to the building of a new fire
bell tower the committee on fire and
water was instructed to receive bids tor
the building of same, the cost not to
exceed $250.
Engineer George Brown reported a de
fective chimney in the fire house. On
motion the committee on fire and water
was instructed to build a new one.
At this point a discussion arose as to
the advisibility of the city opening up a
street through Mays' and Randall's
property up to Tenth street, eaid prop
erty owners agreeing to grant the city
right-of-way. On a motion being made
the council will, on next Friday after
noon, view this piece of ground.
The council last evening took a differ
ent view of the light question than they
have heretofore, and every one of the
councilmen present expressed their de
sire of having light, not small lamp
lights, but fifteen big arc lights. The
cost of these lights will be $10.50 a
month per light for a two years' con
tract. The committee having called up
on Mr. French and investigated the
matter explained that the company had
done their beet in making a rate on the
lights, the cost of putting them in being
about $900, as a new condenser would
have to be purchased.
Iu order to help defray the expenses of
the light, Councilman Stephens made a
motion that a 1 mill tax be levied,
which was carried.
ioe reports oi tno city omcers were
read and accepted and warrants ordered
drawn for the same.

KILLED AT CASCADE LOCKS.
Coals Peterson Is Struck by a Train and
Killed Willie In an Intoxi
cated' Condition.
Sunday at 7:30 o'clock s a freight I
train was passing through Cascade Locke,
the engineer noticed a man sitting on
the platform in close proximity to the
track. The whistle was blown, and ex
pecting that the man had taken warn
ing, the train passed on ; but, as the un
fortunate man was in no condition to
heed anything, the cow-catcher struck
him on the head, whirling his body in
the air and depositing it some distance
away on the platform. When picked up
he was already dead, evidently not hav
ing known what Btruck him.
It seems that the man, whose name
was Louis Feterson, was quite, well
known at tLe Locks and was considered
induatrous and hard working. He had
been employed by a man since August,
who Sunday morning paid him $11, with
which he purchased about $3 worth of
provisions, spending the remainder for
liquor, which accounts for the sad acci
dent which caused his death. Becom
ing intoxicated, he sat down on the plat
form and was sound asleep, his body
bent toward the track and his head on
his breast, when the train approached.
He was not a married man, and was
living alone at the Locks, but claimed
to have a sister in Portland.
The coroner's jury brought in the
following verdict :
Cascade Locks, Oct. 3, 1S98.
We, the jury impaneled by W. H.
Butts, coroner of Wasco county, to in
quire into the cause of the "death of
Louis Peterson on the 2nd day of October,
1898, at the Cascade Locks in Wasco
County, state of Oregon, find a9 follows:
That the deceased was a native of Den
n.ark about forty-five yearB of age, and
that death was caused by fracture of the
skull and we believe bybeing struck by
a parsing train, causing death instantly".
And we further find from the evi
dence that the said Louis Peterson came
to his death by his own carleeEnees.

AT SALEM.
The Senatorial Flelit in Full Blast Cor
bett Snre to Late Chances for a
Dark Home Good. .
Two distinct Republican caucuses were
held at Salem last night for the purpose
of nominating a senator At the Corbett
caucus thirty-eix members were present
and Corbett received thirty-one votes ;
M. C. George 4 and Joseph Simon 1.
At the anti-Corbett caucus twenty-two
members participated and four other Re
publicans were vouched for as being in
sympathy with them, though unable to
be present. They agreed to oppose
unitedly Mr. Corbett, but the members
were left free as to whom they should
vote for aside from him.
A special today from Salem says the
fight is now orr. In the senate this
morning Corbett had thirteen votes;
George, 6; A. S. Bennett, 6; Hewitt, 1;
Aiken, 2; Williams, 1; Colton, 1.
In the house Corbett received 23;
Ellis 1 ; Williams 4; Dunne 1 ; George 10;
Bennett IS; Aiken 3. The requisite
number of votes required for election be
ing forty-six, Corbett now lackB ten of
the goal, which only strengthens his
chances of defeat. Under the present
showing it looks much as if the condi
tions existing at the time of McBride's
election are to be repeated and that a
dark horse will again step in.
A later dispatch points to M. C. George
as the strongest candidate, and says no
change is expected in tomorrow's jint
assembly. The Corbett men will proba
bly break Monday-.

A Lack; Escape.
The Dalles had a narrow escape last
night from fire, which, if it had gained
headway, would no doubt have entirely
obliterated the frame buildings opposite
The Chronicle office. At 11 o'clock the
junk man, who is plying his vocation in
the city at present, was going down the
alley back of Kinersly's drug store,when
he noticed flames bursting up in the
back end of Da Bois' furniture etore.
Hurrying into the drug store he informed
Mr. Kinersly, who grabbed a fire extin
guisher, burst in the front door oi the
building and found the room full of
smoke and Eeveral pieces of furniture all
ablaze. It seems that Louis Pulskey.an
employe in the Etore, and who was
sleeping there at the 'time, bad placed
his bed too near the air-tight heater,and
that the mattress after smoking some
time had finally ignited and caught the
furniture near it. The fire bell being
rung, the hose were immediately on the
spot and the engine was ready for work,
but the flames had been extinguished by
smothering them with quilts and using a
few buckets of water. Strange to say
the occupant of the bed, who is slightly
deaf, was oblivious to his peril until his
feet were badly scorched and his hair
singed somewhat, when he awoke to
the situation. The damage to the stock
was slight, the bed, a number of quilts
and some dishes being destroyed, as well
as injur' done to a few pieces of furni
ture. 'Twas a lucky escape.
