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

also be heartily approved. There Is no
niemW of the cabinet from the iist
which Is for political and Industrial rea
sons entitled to representation, and It Is
hoped that the promotion may come to
Mr. Hermann. Of all the members of the
pr.wldnnt's cabinet family, the secretary
ot the Interior should be a western man,
acquainted with the conditions and Inter.
eats of this sootlon."
