SEEKING FOR FLbVWS. Defense Searching for Technicalities In the Durrant Case. San FrancUoo, Sept. 6. The laking ot testimony In the trial of Durrant is pro ceeding slowly. During; the three days In which wit nesses have been on the stand all that 'has been established Is that Blanche La mont Is dead, and that her body bore marks of violence. The prosecution is Inclined to make gpeed, and Is wasting no time In unnecessary querries. On the other hand, the defense saenis to be threading- uncertainties and searching for technicalities. In the cross-examination of witnesses the defendant's attorneys! continually throw out fishing line hoping to catch a discrepancy In the testimony. They are diligently seeking for flaws but as yet they have not found any that are material. The police detectives are still gathering testimony to strengthen the prosecution. It Is now said that the defense will rely largely on the Improbability of the prosecution proving Its case beyond any uouut. Toaay'a witnesses were Introduc ed toy the prosecution to complete the evidence that Blanche Lamont was mur dered. Policeman RIehl, who accompanied De tective Gibson to Emanuel church, on the day Blanche Lamont's body was discov ered, testified to the condition of the corpse, and to the presence of blood on the floor near her head, on the belfry stairs, and on the floor where It had dripped from the teps. He stated that the thick dust on the floor of the belfry was marked with footprints, but there was no evidence of a struggle there, the Inference being developed by the dofense that t'he murder was committed down stairs and the body carried to the tow er. The defense will try to show that one man coud not have borne this burden unaided. The prosecution will try to prove that Blanche Lamont weighed only 110 pounds, and that Durrant could have carried Iher -with but little difficulty. DREW THEIR WINCHESTERS.

GENERAL DISCUSSION OF PLANS Remarks by Mr. Hammond, Judge Gray, A. K. Cyrus, C. C. Van Etten and Others. The real estate dealers of 'Astoria, met last night at the otllce of the Astoria Land an Investment, company, and form ed an organization for mutuad benefit and protection and for the advancement of Astoria's material Interests. The meet ing was a very earnest one, and was well attended. Among those present were A. It. Cyrus, Sir. Bell, Mr. Lewis, Judge J. H. D. Gray, C. C, Van Etten, E. J. Smith, 'B. Worsley, R L. Boyle, II. O. Van Dusen, Co!. Jno. Adair, and A. B. Hammond. . The meeting was called together by Mr. A. R. Cyrus, who In a few well chosen remarks stated the objects hoped to be obtained by the proposed organization, which have been published In these col umns, and then proposed Judge Gray for temporary chairman and E. J. Smith for secretary, which motion waa unanimously carried. Nearly all present mado re marks outlining their Ideas of the man. ner of conducting tha organization and the methods to be pursued. Mr. Hammond stated that he thought the organization should be a permanent one of the real estate mm. and that the principal object to be attained was to Induce capitalists to como here and make investments. That first of all, be fcre there could be any real growth and Increase of population there must be something for people to do there must be a pay roll. To do that the lumbar In, terests must be developed, Hour mills built, dry dock and elevators constructed, and factories of all kinds established. If necessary men familiar with all of these Industries should ba selected and sent East to Interest capital. Men who by reason of their knowledge and experience could command the respect and claim the attention of men of means. In order to do this the property owners of Astoria should be catal upon to help, not only to advertise our resources and opportuni ties, but If necessary to put up sub sidles for locations for factories In order to get these different Industries In here. He suggested that committees be ap pointed to carry on the different branches of the work. Mr. Hammond said that he would attend the next meeting and do all in his power to assist In the move ment, but that he could not tako any active po8ltioB with the workers, as he would be too bucy with the construction of the railroad to give much time else where. His entire time would be de voted to the road, as he wanted to have It finished In fourteen or fifteen months, or sooner, if possible, and for this reason he could not take any active part In tho association, Mr. Bell said that among the other Im portant points to bo gained by the or ganization was that ot having the platt ing of now addltlona to the city to con form to the rest of the city, as already laid out and to avoid confusion In streets and surveys. Mr. Van F.tten, who has Just como from Chicago to take up lili abode here as president of the Astoria Land t.nd In vestment Co., said that he was most heartily In favor of the movement and that it was one of the most llmportanl matters now before the public. He sug gested that It would be a great mistake not to provide some organized means ot protecting Investors against Illegitimate property. Mr. E. J. Smith talked upon the subject of advertising and said that he thought It was of prime necessity that AstorluGs unparalleled advantages be properly set forth to the Eastern public, and that tho moft effestlvo means was through the local press as the nucleus of .ill other and special advertising. . Judge Gray mado a very Interesting address and stated that he was thor ouKhly In favor of advertising our re sources In the broadest manner poantble; that ho had spent several thousand dol lars himself In the past and that ho had found It too great a burden to carry alone union of Interests and purposes was demanded which would make tho In dividual expense light. Tho matter was most important and should be attendeu to at once. Col, John Adair addressed '.he meeting, endorsing the remarks 6f Judge Gray and urging a strong union. After remarks mado by a number of others, all of general Interest and In Mipport of a permanent organization, the following committee was apnolnted 'on permanent organization; Col. John Adair, H. O. Van Dusen, R. L. Doyle and A. R. Cyrus. Another committee, consisting of C. C. Van Etten, B. 8. Woralay, and E. J. Smith, was nppolnted to confer with the property owners and business men gener ally and get them to attend, the next meeting, it being desirous that all should lend their aid and offer suggestions, even though primarily It be an organization of real estate men, ai all are vitally In terested In the objects to be attained. The meeting adjaurned to convene again at 8 o'clock next Monday evening. THE GOVERNOR SUBPOENAED. Springfield, III., Sept. 6.

The contest will' be a lively one all through, and well worth' watching. The following letter was received yes terday by Mr. G. C. Fulton, president of the A. F. C, from Secretary Murphy, of the Multnomah Athletic Club: "The president, officers and members of the M. A. A. C. generally, dMlre to ex press their thanks for the many kindly attentions they havo received from your club, but more especially for the very kind and friendly treatment of our crick et team on September 2nd by your Cap tain Astbury, and members of your crick et team and oluib.

The Astoria Hose Team a-eturned from Vancouver yesterday Sfternoon on tho steamer Telephone. The boys arrived In Portland Thursday morning, and rpent the day and evening taking in various places of Interest In that city, leaving yeMorday morning for home. Though the team did not meat with the success It exepcted, and which It really deserved, yet one and all came awny highly pleased with tho time had and the treatment glvan them by the firemen of Vancouver, and with the satisfaction of having won more mo.iey than any ot the other outside teams. The speed race, won by the Astorlans, In 23 4-5 seconds, Is said to be th? covst record for that particular race. Besides winning the Bpced rao they captured the eecond prize In tho New York or Championship race, and had tha water pressure been as strong as when the win ning team ran the Astorlans wouU havo undoubtedly made the best time. As It. was they were compiled to wait fully seven seconds for water. The fastest time In the dry test was made by the As torlans, but they were ruled out by tho Judges on account of not screwing the nozzle on full. Second money In vhls race was divided equally between Asto ria, Vancouver and The Dalles. The members of tho home team say that the visiting firemen expressed them selves as highly gratified that -Astoria secured the tournament in 'DC, when It is thought that fully twice as many teams will be present, and that the election of George C. Sears as president of the Northwest Firemen's Association met with the greatest satisfaction. For the ensuing year the following com mittees have been appointed: Committee on topics Professor JI. 8.
