Martin Olsevi Is indignant at the failure of the city council to allow him his acustomed fees for selling city property. Had not Judge McBrldo overruled the demurrer of the city and thus settled the justice of his claim, Martin says he would not care so much, but considering that the city can only -keep, him out of his just dues for a time, and that to do so will result only in working a great hardship on him, the bill might as well be paid at once. "Judge McBrlde says when the city owes a man money, he should be paid," says Martin, "and the force of the judge's remarks Is never 'felt so well as when the case is brought right home to ourselves."

The Verdict Was Not Guilty. Standing room only was the rule In the circuit court room today, when Justice Cleveland, who had Becured the use of the court room to accommodate the expected Attendance, called the court to order. The unusual Interest in a justice court case arose from the fact that the first scene in the great moral drama was about to be enacted. Juries, drawn as far as possible from the respectable element of the commun ity, were to be selected to decide a question as to the guilt or innocence of the women arrested last week on charges of keeping bawdy houses, and as the result will show these juries have decided that the accused were In nocent. The first case called was that of Fanny iMajrston. She, with the others, was defended by Mr. Wlnton, while the state was represented by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Curtis, After the evidence on both sides had been heard, the case was argued on points of law involved. Mr. Winton asked the court to instruct the jury on the meaning of the term bawdy house as defined by the statutes, and hold ing that general reputation could not be admitted as' evidence. Counsel further held that the state would have to show by direct evidence that the accused kept such a place. After Mr, Curtis and Mr. Wlnton had Indulged in repartee to the silent amusement of the spectators, His Honor charged the Jury and sent them to their delibera tions. These gentlemen Messrs, Hume, P. W. Weeks, O. F. Morton, M. Wise, F. F. Blynn, and George Kaboth after an absence of a minute or two, filed back Into the court room and handed In a verdict of not guilty. The next Jury impanelled consisted of N. Bergman, W. F. Schlebe, C. Wright, George Chutter and Theodore Bracker. They were to decide the innocence or guilt of Belle Thorn. The evidence and argument were in substance similar to those of the preceding case, and the result a verdict of not gullty-was as quickly arrived at. Mrs. Baker was next up for trial, and Messrs. O. F. Morton, A. V. Al len, J. Urquhart and Theodore Bracker accqulted her after an absence from the room of about two minutes. Mr. Curtis thereupon announced that it was a hopeless case, and that as Juries had deeddedthat there were no bawdy houses in Astoria he would move to dismiss all the other coses. His Honor made the requisite order and the curtain dropped on the first scene. (Kinney), A. Booth Packing Company, George & Barker, J. O.

The cannery men claim that the rate of four and one half cents per pound is about same as $1.15 per fish, and that it will cause an Increase In their ex pense of packing, of about 11 cents per dozen 1-pound tins or 45 cents per case. The cannerymen insist that paying for the fish by the pound to the fair est for all, because they pay for ex actly what they get, while, when buy ing at so much per fish, some fisher men take advantage of the opportunity to dispose of their large fish on the out side leaving the small fish to be paid for at a price which could only be af forded for average fish, big and little.

So far, prices offered for this season's fish show no material advance over last years prices, when the beet fish was bought for 51.35 per dozen. This season sales are reported at the same price, with one or two Instances of an vance to $1.37 1-2 The Alaska Packers' Association have set their pack at 600,000 cases for this season as against 400,000 for last season. This it Is thought will have a ten dency to keep down the price of other fish. Cannerymen on the river generally feel somewhat blue over the outlook, with the advance in price demanded, and declare they cannot see any profit In sight for them. There will probably not be any trap fishing to speak of this month, as the weather has been so bad that It has been Impossible to repair them for this season's work.

The injuries received by the steamer Lurllne in the collision with the Pot ter on Saturday lost, were very slight. The officers of the latter say that the Potter took a sheer and for the time became unmanageable. The Potter's stern was broken and the Injury was repaired Sunday. The only injury the Lurllne sustained was in having a por tion of the guard torn off.

There were many cigars given away, which would have been sold had the stores been open.

FROM MRS. H. W. BEECHER. "40 Orange Street, Brooklyn, N, Y., Feb. 11, 1890. "I have used Allcock's plasters for some years for myself and family, and as far as able, for the many sufferers who come to us for assistance, and have found them a genuine relief for most of the aches and pains which flesh Is heir to. I have used Allcock's Plasters for all kinds of lameness and acute pain. and. by frequent experi ments, llnd that they can control many cases not noticed in your circulars.

HENRY WARD BEECHElt. ing to learn the result of yesterday af ternoon's meeting. He was informed that the men were unanimously in fa vor of holding to their demand for $1.15 per fish. "We can dispose, at that price, of all the fish we can catch," said the fisherman, "and we are con fident that all of the canneries will quickly come to our terms. At the present time we have five of the can- ners on our side, namely, Mr. J. V. Cook, who will pay us 6 cents per pound; Mr. Weatherford, who agrees to pay $1.15 per fish; and F. M. Warren, D. Morgan, and the Pillar Rock can nery owner, who agree to do likewise, Yes," the fisherman concluded, "this year we'll get our price." Mr. M. J. Kinney, on being spoken to regarding the intentions of the down river canneries, stated that as far as he knew 4 1-2 cents per pound would be the price paid. "It is all the same," he said; "what a majority of the can ners do.
