Prof. Holmes was one of the first to reach Mr. Elgin's, side. Alter a hurried examination he met Grant, whom he informed of his father's condition. To this son fell the sad duty of ap- pnsing the family, whom he brought in his father's cab to the scene of his death.

She arose at that hour, and replied to an inquiry by her father, who heard ' her moving about, that she wanted a drik. Nothing has been seen of her by the family since.

An alarm was turned in and the department responded promptly. but the fire had gained great headway before it arrived. It originated in an old shed in the rear of Dunn's Commission Store and the barn adioining was a mass of flames in a few minutes. A good breeze was blowing from the east, and the low wooden store buildings were soon in volved. By hard work and great vigilance, Winegar's livery sta ble was saved. Flaming: brands fell on the roofs of the buildings to the west, and these and the tower at the water ' works were on fire a number of times, but all escaped withtout damage. - Many people were , on the streets, for the excursion train had left for Portland only a little while before, and a crowd gath ered in a remarkably short time.'

The excursionists who came to Corvallis from Portlaud last Sunday, were of a different ele ment from the band of rowdies that visited us from that city last spring. 1 Here were a few hilar ious youngsters in the party, but the committee of Foresters, who had charge of. the excursion, were quite as' anxious to have these fellows disciplined as were the local officers. So when Mr. Burns, brother of that celebrity of the metropolis who answers to the euphonious appellation ; of At a special session of the coun cil August 24th, the following matters were given considera tion: Bids, were opened for the con struction of a sewer through Diocks 4 and 5; U. TV, as fol lows: Jacobsen, Babe & Co,, $870; J. R. Smith & Co, $775. The contract was awarded to the lowest bidder. Objection was made to the in troduction of ordinances licens ing billiard and pool tables, and they were laid on the table. . In the drawing of lots for the short and long terms, Council men Avery and Taylor drew the three-year ' terms . and Council men Porter and Cameron wii serve for two years. ;' . . The matter of cleaning the College ditch was referred to the sewer committee, with, power to act. ' ,4-::J";: BANNER- S A J, VE "Store and Berry's were soon emptied of their contents. The loss sus tained by these parties was due entirely to the rouh handling their goods received while m transit from counlers and shelves to the middle of the street. Mr, Dunn was insured in the Scot tish, Union and National for $1560. The building occupied by Mrs. Gould is the property of the Hayes heirs, and it was only slightly damaged. The build- just "north "was "owned by "Wm. Groves, and this together with the building, the property of Mrs. Helms, is a total loss. Each was , worth $ 400 or $500, Neither was. insured. Mrs. Mil lie Smith owns the building where Dunn conducted his com mission store. It was not in sured, but $100 should repair the damage. J. K. Berry estimates nis loss at 100, ana miss jonn- mwkmsm son's millinery goods were proba- f bly damaged in a like amount She was insured for $500. The cause of the conflagration is not known. It originated in an old shed across the alley from Winegar's stables. It is thought that some of the excursionists entered the shed to take a drink, i lighted cigar stump. Mr. Dunn 1 - oroerea some strangers away from this place early in the afternoon. Much credit is due to the fire de partment for confining the flames to such a small district. The alarm was turned in at 4:50 and the fire apparatus was put back in the engine house an hour later. .eor a time tnree streams were playing on the burning build ings, but the old fire engine soon leaked so badly that it was put out ot service.
