Thielson and A. P. Sharp- stein of the Electric Motor company, left for Portland on the steamer Thompson last evening. To-day a company will be organized in that city to carry out the proposed enter prise and it is thought that work will be Commenced next week. The com pany will incorporate with a capital of $125,000 or $150,000, and tho principal shareholders will bo J. M. Mooro of Seattle, J. H. McGreerof Tacoma, C.E. Belding of Fairhaven, A. P. Sharp stem, John Fox and Walter Robb of this city. The survey of tho pro posed lino has been completed and everything is in readiness to com mence the work of grading. Up to tho hour of his departure Mr. Sharpstein was sanguine that on Mon day he "would return and let contracts for the construction of the electric cable railway. Just before leaving, however, word was brought him that one of the subscribers to the subsidy, who had promised $2,500, had gone back. When asked iu regard to construc tion, he stated in substance that in consequence of the refusal of a sub scriber at the last moment to sign a subsidy of $2,500, which had been promised the affairs of the road were in a very unsettled condition, and it might go, or it might be abandoned altogether. A few days will tell. A TWIG I.N RIS ETE. Painful Accident to a Boy on the Lewis and Clarke. The little 2-year-old son of O. Paul sen, a farmer residing on the Lewis and Clarke river, met Avilh a painful accident yesterday. Whilo picking salmon-berries the boy fell into tho bush and a twig fastened itself into his eyo. There was no one with him, and die little fellow heroically broke off the branch and ran to his mother. In trying to remove it a piece of tho brush half an inch in length was left in the eye. The boy was brought to this city and Dr. Estes removed it Tho eye is uninjured. WANT A BAY OF REST. Horcmcat f Barbers Aj; Shaving. liiiHl Sunday Ascheniois on foot to make the luxury of a Sunday shavo a thing of tho past. It originated with L. E. Gillot and L A. Lucas, local" tonsorial artists, and tho state legislature will be asked to assist in bringing about tho desired end by passing a law, making it an offense for barber shops to open for business on Sundays. The gentlemen have .had printed a petition to the legislature with the idea of having a law enacted, and will circulate the same in this city, Portland, East Port land and Albina, Mr. Gillet leaving on Sunday night for that purpose. The petition, which it is expected all tho barbers in tho cities named will sign, reads as follews: To the Senate and House of Representa tives vf tht State of Oregen: W, the undenigued, being engaged in tho business of barbering in the state rf Oregon, and wishing to hava ouo day of rest each wek, wott respectfully petition your honorable body to enact n law mak ing it unlawful to kaep open any barber chop or to carry on or conduct tho busi noM of barbtiting on Sunday, and as in duty bound, we, your petitioners, will eTcr Try. Now York and Astoria. They aro as liko a3 two peae, only Astoria's picture is the handsomer. Tho Hudson or North river on the oneeido and tho East river on tho other side with ji, peninsula, an exact counterpart of Astoria's peninsula, in between is the picture of 2few York aity given in Colton's Atlas of 1858. iOs'slrrjost exactly like the .picture of Astoriain Stengel's bird's eye view, the same points and curves, and every tujjg"wcmld Taako ono think in looking- at mo piclnre of New Xork ho was locking at Astoria. Even BlackwelTs island jnEast river lias its counterpart inMrs. Grant's island Young's river. Another striking fact is that Smith's point .is iher same distance from the &mao that tha Battery is in from Jbctlanfc.

Let us have a bird's eve view of ihe twin cities of a great 1 Ajaerican commerce. Salo of Bonds. Under the above heading the Ore gonian of yesterday has tho following, which while it gives no news here is suggestive of friendly, feeling, and is therefore cepied: "The sale of bonds of the Astoria and South Coast rail way to the amount of 83,000,000 has been consummated to parties in Lon don as far as such a sale can be con ewnraaied here, tho contract having beett signed by the officials of tho road cathorised to do so, and the con tract will now bo forwarded to Lon don. It is to be hoped that the busi ness awy be carried out to a success ful completion, and that all obstacles to the speedy completion ot the road to Atotin will be forever removed." All tho nice people of tho city are finding out what fine and complete baths can be had at the Astoria Baths, ob Third street, oppobite Kucker's res taurant, and every Saturday and Sun day the rooms aro continually in de nand.

Practical Suggestions as to How It Hay lie Constrnetei, IT WOVLD JtE EASILY PAID JTOB. The vital importance of the sea wall project should not bo forgotten. Tho session of tho legislature is ap proaching. The authority to issue 50-year sea wall bonds, bearing net over 6 per cent interest, should be vested in the city council or, better, a sea wall commission under judic ious regulators. Some few persons affect to think that the interest on tho bonds would be too heavy a burden of taxation upon tho city, and that really the owners of tho water front should boar tho cost of the sea walL But this is so apparently unjust that it merits but little consideration. The sea wall would be of but little if any extra value to tho owners of the water front as a specific proposition. They can do business just as well now rs then. Tho only advantage to them is ono common to the whole city. It will hasten the growth and prosperity of the city and will protect the chan nel of our lordly river for tho common benefit So far as thesea wall is con cerned no one who thinks a moment would insist that it would benefit ono sort of property owner in greater pro portion than another. It is only the owners of the bay who would gain a special benefit by filling up their lots with solid earth. For this, of couse, each owner would pay in proportion to his benefits. But the sea wall is for the common weaL The interest on the bonds would riot be great. Some estimate the cost of 5.000 feet of sea wall, from Lafayette street to the rocky -pom tat tne uiatsop mius, at S100.000, or S20 per front foot. Others nuse that figure some. Say it will cost 8200,000. This, at 5 per cent on the bonds, would make 510,000 per annum. A yearly wharf tax of S50 for every twenty-five feet of frontage would pay the entire interest If this provision were made in the act providing for the bonds and devoting it to that Bpecial purposo, this great desideratum would bo ac complished. But it would hardly bo fair to mako tho front owners pay nil this interest It Should bo shared by a general tax, and only thoso front owners who had wharves should bo re quired to pay it Our real estate in this city is now assessed at over S6, 000,000. If tho whole peninsula was added, it would bo 10,000,000, making a one-mill tax, a moro bagatelle. Soon, under tho benign influence of this great improvement, our assessable property would bo $30,000,000, or onc-third-ot-n-mill tax by general city tax ation, and if halt was raised by wharf inger licenses, it would bo tho infin itesimal tax of one-sixth of a mill. Is there a croaker in this city so stupid and mean that he would raise an ob jection to such an enterprise on tho score of increased taxation? Or is there a politician so infirm of purposo and so timid about his future that ho will haltonthis great road of progress? The people of Astoria demand men of purpose, judgment and resolution. That old mossback brought from over tho river must be buried. Pitoannss. A Card From KJ. Wright. ASTOIUA, Oct 10. "" .Editok Astobian-: In tho card pub lished by Judge Cleveland in this morning's AsToniAif, ho is evidently groping iu the dark for some informa tion which ho could have obtained without tho necessity of representing me as o sneak thief. But, a3 ho evi dently wished io see his name in the papers, I will help him out Mr. Cleveland says: "The facts of the matter aro as fol fel fol eows: Ed. Wright of tho Columbian, as I am informed and believe, came into tho office, passed through the railing that separates my private office from tho Justico court and in my absence copied tho names published, from the list on my desk, without authority, or permission, from any one." The. above statement is a lio from beginning to end. I have not entered tho office of A. A. Cleveland since tho day of the trial of Michell, and during my three years work on the news papers of this city, have never copied an item from tho records of either justice, police, county or circuit courts without first obtaining permission to do so. The insignificant item which Mr. Cleveland seems 'desirous of en larging into mammoth proportions, was given to me by a party convers ant with tho facts. Ko promise of secrecy was exacted, and had Mr. Cleveland came to mo liko a gentle man and asked for -the source of my information I might have told him, but clothed in the dignity of his ono horse court he woald not bend to ask mo about the matter, but rushed off into print with his tale of woe. My occupation sometimes enables mo to find news through mediums which it isneither necessary or customary to give as references, aad I do not intend to make a practice ot submitting my copy to Judge Cleveland for approval before publication.
