Last night's session of the city

during the present year, and consid-
erable busiuc&a was crowded into a
short space oC time. Difficulty was
experienced in obtaining a quorum
and it was necessary to send an officer
after a tardy member. The mayor,
Councilmen Bergman, Welch and

and then came a wait for another i
member. Councilman Wickman was J
the ouiv available one. Mr. Fox lmv-
, mg gone to Portland and Mr. El
bon being at home ill. An hour's wait
inade the members impatient. First
City Attorney Curtis and then Council
man Welch btarted after the absent
member, but were unsuccessful, and it
was not until Officer Beasley armed
with a search warrant, went out that
i Mr. Wickman was found. Then he
did not want to remain, but finally
consented and the council at 9 o'clock
proceeded with business.
Liquor licenses were granted to
Wright, & Harris and John" 'Stephens. '
Ordinances were introduced and
read the first time as follews:
Prohibiting officers of the cit, and
also officers of the lire department,

port the same to the city council for
approval. If the report is .accepted
then the chairman of the committee
shall purchase the supplies, provided
that no supplies shall be purchased
except by an order signed by the au
ditor and approved by the" mayor.
When any of the steam fire engines
shall need repairs, the committee on
fire and water shall have exclusive
power to order all necessary repairs to
be made not exceeding the sum of

cewer. No action was taken.
A message from the ma'or was

against it for 1,500 more than is now
in the fund. There will also be a short
age in tho police fund of several hun
dred dollars by the end of lhi3 month.
Your attention is again called to the
condition of the city's finances and to
the fact that you are violating the city
charter and tho law of the land by cre
ating further indebtedness. The limit
ha3 been reached.
Magxus Ceosbt, Mayor.
Tho veto message of the mayor
caused some discussion and the veto
so far as the claim of Bowers & Co.
was sustained, but the ordinance in ref
erence to the purchase of the fire
extinguishers and heaters was passed
over the veto.
In reference to the claim of City
Engineer H B. Thielsen for $248.25.
the committee on Btreets and public
ways reported as follews:
"We your committee would rec
omnieud that this bill be paid
but no more bills will be audited by

ask for a new bill itemized and accord
ing to contract. H. B. Pabkeb,

The following resolution was in
troduced by Councilman "Welch and

tii k S2i va az, bus hisa ba j:.
Last evening, about 0:30, Jaaiei F.
Kearney, inspector of custom.?, was
standing on Third street, just abo e
the entranco to the TJ. P. doc.t, when
be obsprveil lo men coming around
me.?ege or mo wharf on the side
towards the street, who appeared to
walk m a suspicious manner. Think
ing they would turn towards the city
as they reached the street, the officer
walked to the Foster house, but as
the men reached the street they
turned the other way, and he followed
after them.
As ho approached they quickened
their steps, and he did the same.
Wheu seeing that he was about to
overtake them, one of the men dropped
frPm under h.is coat a large package
i uvu uau iuu um uruumisi! ni
Foard & Stokes, and then tho officer
ran up to them, capturing one of the
men, but tho other ran off. On search
ing the captured man and finding
nothing on him, the officer let him go,
and went back to look for the package,
which he soon found. It proved to
be thirty caus of opium, each contain
ing about half a pound, put up in
several small packages of four cans
each.
"Who the men arc IIig officer does
not know, but he thinks they are bail
ors on the steamer CityofTopeka,
which is lying at tho TJ. P. dock, dis
charging coal at tho coal-bunkers at
the upper end of the wharf. He will
look for them to day, and thinks he
will be able to identify them without
any trouble. The steamer lias come
from Nanaimo, B. C, where the opium
was evidently smuggled on board
without tho knowledge of the officers
of the vessel. Very likely there Is
more of it on board, and it so, it will
probably be fonnd to-day.

Bailroad men and capitalists are
numerous hero now. Last evening
"Wm. Beid, presiden of the Astoria &
South Coast railroad, J. B. McNaught,
the London engineer, E. P. Thomp
son, of Salem, F. E. Drake and H. M.
Johnson of Chicago, came down on
the steamer and registered at the
Occident hotel.
This morning Mr. Keid and the
engineer go down to Tanzy Point on
tho Gen. Canby, and thence to War
renton, where they will bo joined by
the other three gentlemen and sev
eral of the board of directors from
this city, who are going down this
morning on tho Electric.
Last evening the engineer was
taken up on the lugh hills south of
the city where he had a fine view of
the city and harbor, and expressed
himself as highly pleased with the
prospects of the river and harbor, for
he sees clearly the immense natural
advantages, and the great need of a
railroad to connect with the shipping
interest which would then make this,
their frort of discharge and reload for
foreign ports.
The oilier end of the road which
has been visited by Dr. McNaught, he
is well pleased with, and finds the nat

and important, and seem lo justify.

There will be plenty of rumors, but
nothing definilo can "bo known until
the engineer has seen the whole line,
and made his report to the Byudicato
who sent him here, and who will base
their action on his report. An inter
view was held with Mr. Beid and Mr.
McNaught iu the parlor of the hotel
by a number of the directors and
stockholders of the road, and the lat

C ALTJXINUX METAL PLATING.
j A Chicago Syndicate to TJse the IHrah
j IaventloH.
Articles of incorporation have been
filed afSpringfield,IlLf by a syndicate
of Chicago citizens who intend to revo
lutionize the present expensive nrt of
metal plating. Neither silver, nickel
nor tin plate can stand against th
metal aluminum when used as n plat
ing for coarser metals, awhich. the
Hirscli Alnminum Plating Company,
as the Chicago company is called, pro
pose to do.
Among thev incorporators of the
new company are Franklin Babcock,
Edward G. Fish and David K "Wil
son, all of Chicago? The capital
stock is $500,000, but there is much
more money behind the scheme.
It is stated by the corporators that
the use of brass, tin, silver and nickel
in the arts will be superseded by that
of alnminum, a better and more dur
able metal, and. under the Hirsch
process, it caa be produced cheaper
than any of the other metals. It will
not corrode like any other metals, and
the device which the company con
trols makes it possible to coat any
metal with aluminum, and in any
thickness, cheaper than tin plating.
Aluminum has been worth about $1
a pound. The new method produces
it for 16 cents a pound.
AN ECZEMA 17 "YEARS.
Cured in 8 Weeks. One of tbe
Greatest Cures Ever JPcrf ermed
by the Cu Jicura Remedies.
At the ae of three months a rash (which
jifterwards proved to be eczema or salt
rheum) made its appearance on my face.
Physician after physician was called. Is'one
of them did me any good at all. but made
me worse. The disease continued unabated :
t spread to my aims and legs, till I was laid
up entirely, ami irom
continually Mttiutr on
the floor on a pillow, my
limbs contracted to that
I lost all control of them
and was utterly helpless
My mother would have
to lift me out and into
bed. I could get around
tbe house on my bauds
and feet, but I could not
get my clothes on at all,
and had to wear a sort
of dressing gown. My
hair hai alt matted down
or falcn off, and my
head, face and ears wen)
one sc.tb. The disease continued in this
unnner until I was seventeen years old,
ai.d o e day in January, 1S79. I read an ac
count in the 'tribune, of your Coticura
Hkkkdiks. It described my case so exact
ly that 1 thought, as a last resort, to give
them atrial. When I first applied them I
was all raw and bleeding, from scratching
myxelf.but I went asleep almost immediate
Iv. something I had not done for years, the
effect was so soothing. In about two weeks
