A great deal of complaint Is being made about town by merchants and business mn generally that they are unable to find a market for city war rans. The situation is apparently be coming very serious, and unless a way Is found to quiet the apprehensions now existing, much embarrassment Is likely to result to the city. A number of visitors yesterday af ternoon were very much Interested In the machinery at Trullinger's electric light plant. The big Hoffman and Bil lings engine Is a beautiful piece of machinery. It Is perfectly noiseless In operation, and the big wheel, which Is eighteen feet in diameter, makes sixty' eight revolutions per minute. The pis ton stroke Is fifty-two Inches. One can Judge of the power necessary to oper ate the dynamos. A well known Astoria lady the other day gave her liege lord a little lecture which Is worth repeating, and as It leaked out, no confidence Is betrayed. It was about as follows: "Don't adorn your sitting room with the motto 'God Bless Our Home' and then fret and fume and make the home as nearly an Inferno as you can. There Is nothing like consistency in these little mat ters. Either take the sign down or else do the business which It adver tises." Perhaps the gentleman replied that he did not make the sign. A veterinary surgeon not a hundred miles from Astoria, had an Irish assist ant who was something of a genius, but one day came to grief. A horse was sick and needed attention. The doctor prepared a large dose of pow ders, and calling Pat, handed him the medicine, together with a long glass tube, and Instructed him to blow the powder down the horse's throat. H. soon came back, however, In a dishev eled condition, and a very wry face. "What's the matter, Pat?" "OI went to give the horse his medicine, an' shure, he blew first." The regular monthly meeting of the water commission was held last even ing. After the reading of the minutes the treasurer reported the total amount of water rates collected for the month were 32,178.15; total of all collections, 32,327.24. Sundry bills presented and allowed amounted to 3159.30. The su perintendent was Instructed to com mence at once taking up pipe, and continue work on the old Iturnslde pipe line for one month as an experiment to ascertain whether the commission could afford to do the entire work this fall. Tbe pipe when taken up will be re-tarred and stored for future use.

The Declaration of Inde pendence was read by Robert Wherry; a declamation by Laura Wherry and a recitation by Miss Anna Cole and the school children, received much ap plause. Miss Mamie Humbling, the school teacher. was In charge of the program, and the su-ceea of ihe enter talnment was largely due to her efforts. At the raising of the ftng, all present Joined In singing America, and the school children saluted the colors. Af terwards a good dinner was enjoyed by everybody. BICTCLB ACADEMT.

THE KECATTA COMMITTEES, (Continued from First Tire.) Flavel will then be open and trains from Seaside running illrvct Into the city so that hundreds can tind accom modations at ulght at the various beaches, yet there will be many other hundreds which the present hotels and boarding houses cannot a commodate. It Is expected that every householder I having a spare Mom, and Unit every family, as wed as different restaurants, will prepare themselves fully, and si vise the bureau of the accommodations they are able to furnish. This feature In connection with the entertainment will be jne'of prime Importance. It must not be said that Astoria could not entertain Its visitor. From Montana. Idaho, Washington, 1'tah, Oregon and California, will come many people, to a targe proportion of whom aquutlc srxirts are a novelty. A train load from Montana alene is expected. The character of th. entertainment to be given this season, and which will be more In the nature of a carnival or fete than any of Its predecessor. Its Importance at this particular Juncture In the history of the city, and th. num bers to be entertained, are perhaps ap preciated by but few Astorlans Among other feature, of carnival week the committee anticipate giving a poultry show which will be participated In not only by Clatsop county, but by the celebrated fancier. Garretaon. of Forest Grove. They stay also arrange for a butter and sheep exhibit. Other features are under consideration, and It la safe to say that the entire enter tainment will exceed all expectations. The soliciting committee will moet for business at 10 o'clock this morning at the office of F. L Parker. Saturday afternoon the executive committee will hold another meeting to receive the re port of the soliciting committee. Let everybody be prepared with his half dollar this morning.

All will be glad to learn this morning that the work of building the Scow lUy depot will be commenced In th Immediate future. President Curtis, of tha Northwest Construction Company, I telegrapheed from Portland last night a c.ilt for bid for the work, which will be opened on the 13th lust. The adver tisement appears In anulher column and .peak, for ll.elf This actio,, put. plant, and there can be polhly no further excuse for th. holding back of other Improvements In th city. 8'ich! progress will be made during this sum mer and u Inter that the line can be put In operation by the fall of Im7. at th mgh the contract does not call for the completion of the work by tht time. Superintendent Lester reports that he rxpvt-ta to have the track on ,lu!

The brick founda tion pier for the Warrenton depot huve been complete.!, and work on the superstructure will begin Immediately. l.nouKh of the big dock at flavel Is finished so, that a cargo of steel rails can be unloaded there. Work on the terminal grounds at Alder creek will soon be finished so that the building and sidetracks may be erected there. Irl the city Contractor Goerlg has very nearly made connection with the trestle west of Elmore's cannery. A short strip of grading only remains to be done on Water street, which will give connection with the. line of pile, driven by Wakefield Jacobsen. Th. latter contractors are now driving pile, through the I. It. and N. Company's dock, and have another driver working wet from the O. It. and N. dock. Th. entire city water front has been com pletely changed In appearance., and In a few day more the roadway will be ready for laying the rails at least as far as the O. It. and N. wharf. Th. work I being don In a most solid and substantial manner, and Mr, A. G. Barker, of the Northwestern road, stated yesterday that never In all his experience had he seen such splendid railroad construction work. Corey Brothers could finish their ten-mile con tract now on a few days' notice. Pres ident Curtis, of th. Construction com pany, Is still In Portlsnd, and Is doubt less arranging the details with Con tractors Honeyman, DeHart & Glenn, who will commence work on their part of the line as soon as arrangements can be completed. With all this work under way, th. disbursement of thousands of dollars In Astoria for supplies, th. regatta and firemen's tournament next month, and with thousands of strangers in the city, who will learn of the advantages of the port at the mouth of the Columbia and spread Its fame abroad, despite hard times, who can doubt that the begin ning of great things for this city has been made?

He said he could not support a platform for the free and unlimited coinage of silver and Intimat ed In rather plain terms that the New Jersey delegation would bolt. McDer mott's language roused Henator White, of California, to deliver a ringing speech denouncing the gold men for their opposition" to the majority of tfie party. "Let traitors secede If they want to," said Senator White. "Th. majority of the party Is here with a fixed purpose and determined to carry It out." The motion for the appointment of a sub-committee to report a platform to the full committee at 9 o'clock tomor row morning was carried. The follow ing were appointed as the sub-committee: Senator Jones, Arkansas, chairman; Senator Cockrell Missouri; J. Z. George, Mississippi; N. F.

Henalor Vilas subsequently refused to serve on the ut-vommltte. and John K. ltuasell, of Massachusetts, was appointed jn hi place. THE DECOIUTIONU. Th last feature of th. decorations to be put up wlthlil" the convention hall was a picture of th. liemocratle president. It was due to some ques tion as to the exact propriety of us ing the picture of a living man, It tir ing urged by some that statues and portraits of living peraonngi'S should not be put up In public places. As Cleveland la the only living Democratic president, the question applied more particularly to a heroic representation of him. It was finally decided to put I up pictures of both living and dead, I but the work was not completed until a fewi hour before the convention I opened. FOU A HOLT.
