ball?

The charge for refreshments at the
calico ball to-night will be onlv
twenty-five cents.
Did you notice the brilliancy of
yesterday? The white snow reflected
the rays of the sun to an extent un
usual in this longitude.
Lieut Cotton's telephone line from
Ilwaco to the cape and thence to the
beach, is coming on well. The inten
tion is to extend it to Oystervilla
This is the last day of the sale of
delinquent city property for taxes
thereon, to which the attention of all
interested is, by request, directed.
Mr. Jno. Devlin is reported to have
bought the lot and building at the
corner of First and Salmon streets,
in Portland, paying $iO,-K)0 therefor.
Tickets for the calico ball can be
procured at Griffin & Heed's and C.
H. Cooper's. The grand march will
begin at nine o'clock. Those attend
ing may be assured of a pleasant ev
ening. Yesterday's Orcyonian contains no
opinion as who is to blame for the
deep snow, bnt it may undertake to
show that Mitchell's "malign influ
ence" caused it He is to blame for
everything that has happened since
the special session convened.
At a late hour last night it was re
ported that John Davis, a well known
resident of upper town had taken an
overdose of laudanum, and it was be
lieved that despite the most strenu
ous efforts of the medical attendants
it would be impossible to save his
life.
Sleigh riding and snow balling are
two things Astorians don't often en
joy, and when a chance does offer it
is "eagerly embraced. By the way,
this will bo a splendid night for
dancing. The ladies of the relief
corps have a calico ball at Liberty
halL Of course you're going.
Considerable trouble has been ex
perienced in getting water the last
few days by consumers who neglected
to box their pipes. The water com
pauy is doing the best it can to sup
ply the demand, but knows of no way
for its patrons to save their pipes in
freezing weather except by protecting
them.
The ladies of the relief corps will
give a calico ball at Liberty Hall
this evening. The floor has been
waxed and put in splendid condi
tion for dancing. Kefreshments will
bo served in the room adjoining
the halL The ladies of the corps are
sparing no effort to make the affair a
success and will be glad to see all
their friends.
Great icicles hung from the bows
of the Portland boats yesterday after
noon. They report coming down
through Willamette slough, no ice in
the Willamette, the Columbia solid
above Vancouver, ice four inches
thick floating in great quantities to
a point below Kalama, lots of snow
and cold wind all the way. They will
leave up at the usual hour this morn
ing.
According to the Port Townseud
Argus the champion crank of the
northwest is named W. D. McPar
land and lives at Tacoma where he
runs an educational tread mill.
Among'his pupils was a young lady
named Mis3 Edith Jones, and her re
fusing to go without corsets so
wrought upon McFarland's alleged
mind that ho sent the young lady
home to Port Townsend with a letter
"full of insults, complaints and snarl
in gs."
The Columbia is due from San
Francisco this merning: the State
sails. Captain Gregory and his crew,
of the Shubrick had prepared to tear
from their hearts all the clustering
associations and tender memories
that bound them in fond endearment
to that old craft, and go to San Fran
cisco on the State to bring up the
Manzanita, but a telegram yesterday
said the Madrona had not yet ar
rived there, bo they will defer their
departure till she does, which will
probably be by the time the Colum
bia sails next Monday.
Know all men and one woman by
these presents that when the snow
is coming down at the rate of three
minutes an inch, and the wind is blow
ing from the east cold enough to
freeze tho nose off a brass monkey
that to carry the morning paper
through tho drifts and tuck it into
your ear as you lie snug in bed is an
impossibility, and if the wind blows
the paper off your porch, or out of
your box, blame the weather and not
the carrier. The carrier is just as
sorry to see this weather as you are,
and has a hard enough time of it with
out being growled at.
The question of liquor licenses has
been a fruitful subject of discussion
since the passage of the bill raised
the license fee to $300. It has been
decided to make a test case at the
present term of the circuit court, and
thus settle the question one way or
the other. It has been agreed to by
District Attorney McBride and
coofisel for those objecting to the
enfbfcement of the statute, and
tho matter will be brought before
tho grand jury, an indictment found.
and the matter put through with all
possible dispatch. The result of the
case will be viewed with interest
throughout tho state.

COMMON COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
The city council met in adjourned
session last evening, Mayor Trullinger
in the chair; present Couucilmen
Bergman, Sherman, Cleveland, Sovey,
Gratke and Carruthers. The appli
cation of Alex. Campbell for a liquor
license was granted.
A communication from Bergman
& Berry concerning assessment on a
portion of their property was referred
to street committee.
The following communication from
Mayor Trullinger was read:
To the honorable, the Common Coun
cil of the City of Asteria:
GnxriiEMEN: Having had my at
tention called to the prevalence in
our city of scarlet fever and other
contagious diseases, and to the fact
that we are liable at any moment to
have small-pox in our midst, and
deeming it advisable to be always
prepared for emergencies. I would
respectfnlly recommend that your
honorable body appoint a health of
ficer, who,together with the mayor and
committeo on health and police, form
a board of health of the city of Asto
ria. I also recommend that you elect
a president of tbe council. Hoping
that you will give this matter your
early attention, I remain
Yours respectfully,
J. C. TRUM.TKGER,
Mayor.
On motion ot Councilman Cleve
land tbe communication be received
and complied with: carried.
Councilman Sovey asked if the of
fice was in existence: it was stated
that it was. Councilman Cleveland
asked what salary was attached to
the effice: Mayor Trullinger said that
was for the council to determine, that
there was no regular salary, but the
office when filled was paid at the dis
cretion of the council. Councilman
Bergman nominated A. A. Cleveland
for president ot the council. The vote
was unanimous, Councilman Cleve
land voting no. Councilman Cleve
land thought the mayor should nom
inate the health officer. Mayor Trul
linger placed in nomination Dr. "W.
1). Baker for the position of health
officer. Couucilman Sovey moved
that further deliberation of tho mat
ter be laid over till next meeting: car
ried. Mayor Trullinger directed the at
tention of the council to the matter
of harbor dues and suggested that an
ordinance be passed relative thereto.
Councilman Cleveland moved that
the matter be referred to the commit
tee on wharves and water frontage
and the city attorney, to be attended
to at next meeting: carried.
An ordinance making an appropria
tion from the general and police
funds to pay the expenses of the city
of Astoria for the year ending Dec.
31st, 18S6. was read third time aud
passed. (The ordinance appropriates
S100 for board of prisoners; $5,000
for incidental expenses; S2,300 for
street lights; $2,500 for iuterest on
city bonds; $125 for stationer'; $100
for printing and blanks; $3,620 for
the support of the Astoria tire de
partment; $10,000 for salaries of city
officers; total, $21,315.)
An ordinance granting a liquor
license to C. Evcrson brought up the
matter of the new license law regard
ing the $300 license. "With a few pre
liminary remarks, Councilman Cleve
land moved that any gentleman pres
ent who wished to address the council
regarding tho matter be accorded the
courtesy of a hearing. JMayor Trulling
er suggested that District Attorney
McBride be present at the time these
remarks were made. While the chief
of police was looking for the district
attorney, City Attorney Noland read
an ordinance which he had prepared,
which in effect was that a city retail
liquor license was not to be issued
for a less period than one year, and
was to cost the sum of $300. Coun
cilman Sovey thought that this
whole bnsiness of petitions and or
dinances granting liquor licenses
seemed to him to be but a desire to
bring saloon keepers before the coun
cil in the attitude of humble petition
ers. A little more discussion brought
from mayor Trullinger the suggestion
that the debate was somewhat pre
mature, as the city attorney w.i3 only
reading it in its initial form.
At this juncture District Attorney
McBride appeared and a little dis
cussion ensued. Mr. C. W. Fulton
thought that Mr. McBride might with
great propriet open the cse and
Mr. McBride coming forward prof
fered his assistance in any way that
he could. Councilman Clevelaud then
moved that the mayor state what Mr.
McBride was asked to do, which was
to refrain from prosecuting the coun
cil in case they temporarily continued
the $200 license. Mr. McBride didn't
think it was proper for him to make
any pledges, but that he would like
the matter to be settled at once;
that a test case could be made, and
the matter brought before the grand
jury and an indictment be prepared
and a decision reached in the ensu
ing trial, both sides agreeing to the
decision in tho proposed case. Coun
cilman Sovey asked if a councilman
was personally liable for indictment
in this or similar cises if he acted
honestly and to the best of bis judg
ment The district attorney said every
man was presumed to know the law,
but that there might be a moral ex
cuse in certain circumstances. E a
man did according to his best judg
ment his opinion was that they were
not indictable. Other questions were
asked and unanswered. Couucilmau
Cleveland asked for advice in general,
to which Mr. McBrido suggested that
the best advice he could give the
council was to obey the plain letter of
the law. On motion of Councilman
Cleveland a vote of thanks was ten
dered Mr. McBride in favoring tho
council with his remarks.
C. W. Fulton came forward; ho
thought it was hardly fair to Mr. Mc
Bride to ask him questions of such a
nature; he was confident that all Mr.
McBride wanted was a test case as
representing tho state. It had been
about determined that a test case be
made, and "which ever way the case
was decided in the circuit court an
appeal would be taken to the supreme
court." The matter might be got
through the supreme court inside of
a month. Representing the possible
f.if n i- r ii. ..i :i. 1,
ueieuuuuia m iuu yiupuacu. ami, uu
suggested that the council might tem
porarily admit applicants for license
to deposit $200 with the city treas
urer, and defer the issuance of any
license till the question received final
disposition in the courts. Council
man Carruthers thought that they
might deposit the $300 and then if it
was decided that that was tho legal
amouut the money would be there.
Councilman Sovey thought that that
would involve a suit against tho city,
but in other circumstances the city
would be the one obliged to institute
legal proceedings. Mayor Trullinger
suggested that the ordinances be
passed as usual to second reading
aud stopped there till the matter was
settled, $200 being deposited in each
case. Councilman Carruthers asked
if it wasn't settled in six months or a
year and but $200 was collected, how
would the other $100 be collected.
Councilman Sovey asked if the dis
cussion of the ordinance was in order.
He moved that the liquor ordinance
be read by title, which was done.
Councilman Sovey moved that the
ordinance be laid on the table; carried
unanimously. He then moved that
the city treasurer and auditor and
clerk be instructed to accept $200
from any applicant for a liquor li
cense pending the settlement ot the
question. After further discussion
it was decided that the $200 be ac
cepted and a bond in each case re
quired for an additional $100 to be
paid in the event that the case was
decided in favor of the state. After
that was settled the question of ille
gality of procedure came up and the
city attorney requested to dratt an
ordinance to embody the above dis
position of the matter, which was
done and the ordinance passed.
An ordinance making appropriation
from the Main street, Benton street
and Washington street funds to the
general fund, was read first and sec
ond times and passed under suspen
sion of the rales.
An ordinance granting a retail li
quor license to Alex. Campbell was
read first and second times and laid
over for future action. The same ac
tion was taken regarding two other li
censes. Upon motion of Councilman Sovey
the vote upon the disposition of the
ordinance granting Alex. Campbell a
liquor license was reconsidered.
Councilman Sovey then moved that
the ordinance pass; the ordinance
was then read for the third time and
passed by the following vete: Aye,
Bergman, Sherman, Cleveland, Sovey,
Gratke and Carruthers, nays, none.
The ordinance was declared passed.
The same action was taken regarding
the ordinances granting liquor li
censes to R. L. Jeffrey and C. Even
son, which were both read third time
and passed.
On motion the chief of police was
authorized by resolution to have the
windows of the jail repaired.
The following claims were ordered
paid: B. R. Marion, S182.55; J. G.
Hustler, $130.40; R. L. Jeffrey, $21.15;
C. J. Treuchard, $51.45; S. Danziger,
$13; Jas. Gardiner, S10; sundry per
sons, S44.G0.
Councilman Carruthers wanted to
know about tho contract for lighting
the city. Councilman Sovey sug
gested that the matter be deferred
till the next regular meeting. Coun
cilman Cleveland wanted to know if
the city of Independence had paid
the $75 due on the old hand engine.
The auditor and clerk was instructed
'to stir them up" about the balance
now owing for a considerable time.
Pending tho preparation of an ordi
nance by the city attorney, the may
or aud council admonished the chief
of police regarding the overseeing of
the dog catcher, poundmaster and
other municipal officers.
An ordinance providing for the-execution
of a bond by any one desir
ing to obtain aliquor license was read
first and second times and passed un
der suspension of the rules. On mo
tion council adjourned.

CAUGHT AT LAST.
A Bis; Seizure of Opium.
PobT Towksxnd, Jan. 18. The cut
ter Wolcott is just in from Alaska
with 3,100 pounds of seized opium,
that had been cached from the Ida
ho. This is the biggest haul yet.
After the seizure of the opium on
the Idaho here, some time since, Col
lector Beecher received information
that opium was stored in Kaasan bay,
Alaska, awaiting shipment to Port
land or SanFrancisco. The collector
at once telegraphed to Washington,
asking that the revenue cutter Oliver
Wolcott be sent to Alaska in search
of the same. Orders to that effect
were received by Capt. Moore, and
on the 10th inst. the cutter left here
on her cruise, accompanied by Col
lector Beecher.
She called at Departure bay and
took on coal and Pilot Hicks. On
Wednesday she anchored in Metla
katah bay for eight hours, on account
of a heavy gale. On Thursday at
30:15 she arrived at Kaasan bay and
anchored, and the collector, accom
panied by Lieut Rhodes and eight
men from the steamer, went ashore at
the cannery. This cannery is said to
be owned or leased by Capt. Carroll,
of the Idaho, and was found in charge
of two men, the foreman having gone
to Wrangel to meet the Idaho. Four
teen barrels landed by the Idaho on
the last trip, and said to contain furs,
were opened and found to be filled
with prepared opium. The cutter
was at once signaled, and after con
siderable difficulty iorced her way
through the ice to the wharf.
The opium was taken onboard and
the cutter came at once to this place,
arriving this morning. She had to
force her way through ice to get out,
the men at time3 having to get on
floes and tow her.
The amount of opium seized
amounts to 3,012 pounds, valued at
over $45,000.
No doubt exists that this smug
gling has been carried on for many
years. A sloop was brought here and
taken to Alaska some time since,
which it is believed was to be used in
connection with opium smuggling.
