The wheat-laden veneeU now on the way down tbe river may meet with less ifllcult In ruinnk over the shoals than Chose that arrived a few days ago.

The Q en era! do Charette, which is on the way down the river with a feet 8 lnchee of her hull in the water, will possibly ar rive here without much dlfllculty. Three other wheat-laden vessels are tn Port land ready to leave down, the Cape Clear being schidulec to leave today. The Pos erdon and Galena, the remaining two, are waiting for tow boats to start ocean, ward. Tho circuit court waa occupied yester day In h-rlfig tettlmony In the case of E. Barraco vs the city of Astoria. The oaau has created a good deal of Interest, and many attorneys of the city were present during the day. Barraco sues the city on an ueeiKned claim of IUHI, with Interest from November 1, l&Su. Tho suit Is for labor alli-Kcd ro have been per formed by O. Perelll & Co. on tbe con. struotlon of the city waterworks. Perelll & Co. wore subcontractors under the Pa cific Paving Co., which became Insolvent before the completion of the work. Plain tiff alleges the work performed after wards was under the Instructions of the constructing engineer of the water com mission. The city objects to the payment of the claim on the rround that li deal ings were directly with the Pacific Paving Company, v ho were paid in run, ana tne Arm of Perell tt Co. was not known In any transaction. The case will probably go to the Jury this afternoon. Following are the Jurors: T. H. Henderson, K. R. Cole, J. C. Alcaraa, Rooert uray, james Turpi", D. J. ingalis, o. Hansen, w. z. O. Btefll, J. D. Heckard, E. A. Taylor, J. W. Walker, Andrew Nyrjulwt. The farmers' congress recently held at Astoria has been productive of many good results, not the least desirable of wblcb Is a booklet issued by the passen. ger department of the O. R. 4 N. Co.
