A grand moonlight excursion will be

a wet place near Ninth street, his horse
mired to tho belly, and in the effort to

A communication was received from
Miss Mary F. Denton today announcing
that she would not bo able to keep her

time in the near futare and due notice
of the time will be given.
The steamer Albany was taken back
to Portland this afternoon, as the Paul
Mohr company have abandoned all
notion of being able to use her at the
present stage of water. The company
will probably have their rails and ties
brought here by the Regulator company
and will have them landed near the
North Dalles planing mill, where others
were landed a few days ago.
The water commissioners met last
night to hear the report of the commit
tee appointed to confer with P. L.
Kretzsr, relative to the cost of boring
for artcBian water aboye the reservoir.
Mr. Kretzsr was present and informed
tiie board that his price would be $3.25
a foot for any depth. No contract was
entered into, but a co.nmittee will meet
on the grounds at 10 o'clock tomorrow
and determine on the site for the well in
the event of the board's conclusion to
have the boring done. The commission
era will meet again Monday uight and,
in all piobability, make a final deter
mination of the matter.
The sale of the retail business of
Charles Stnbling to Chas. Michelbach
and Jas. Fait, after having almost been
completed, has fallen through. Mr.
Stubling's wholeeale business has grown
to such proportions that it alone was
sufficient to occupy his whole attention,
and hence he concluded to dispose of the
retail and move the wholesale stock to
another building. But now that the
sale has been declared off for good, both
branches of the business will be con
ducted as heretofore at the old etand,
where, it need not bo said, customers
are always assured of good treatment,
a hearty welcome, and the best of every
thing in Ills line the market affords.
The little minstrels, who gave such a
very excelUnt and successful perform

Mies Hazel Waud, assures the expectant
public that the program lias all been re
cast and an entirely now set of comic
songs, sido-Bplittiiig jokes and fin de sieclc
gags added to tho original captivating
repertoire. Tho last performance of
theso little folks was amazingly success,
fill, financially and otherwise, and there
cannot bo a doubt in the world that
tonight'B performance will be equally
satisfactory. Seyeral who attended tho
performance of two weeks ago assure
tho writer that they often paid ten
times tho price of admission to sou a far
worse fhow. All tho profits of tonight's
entertainment will be given to some
cliarltabln or educational object, not yet
determined on. The price of admission
is 10 and 15 cents Doors opeii at 7 :110;

Obituary.
Mrs. Nettie Askew, who was buried
here yesterday, was the daughter of
Coroner W. H. Butts. She wbb born in
Portland thirty-two years ago and mar
lied in tills city twelve years ago to
William Askew. Two fine boyB of 0 and
8 years blessed the union and, with the
husband and father, survive her. When
only a girl tho mother of Mrs. Aikew
died, leaving six children, of which Net
tie was the eldest, while the youngest
was almost a etiild in arms. How well
Nettie performed the part of a mother
to Jier threa little sisters and two
brothers is only known to themselves
and to the widowed father, who shared
with tier the cares and anxieties inci
dent to watching the expanding child
hood of his motherless little onee. And
even after she had married and gone to
live on the Sound her every letter to her
brothers and sisters was full of mother
ly anxiety and advice.
Mrs. Askew had been in bad health
for irany mouths. The immediate
eause of deatli was lung trouble, con
tracted from a cold caught at a time
when her weakened system was not
able to lesist its evil effecte.
She was laid to rest yesterday beside
her mother and in the presence of a
large and sorrowing number of friends
ar.d kindred, who had known and loved
her as it is the lot of few to be known
and loved;
