It took just ten min utes to transact all of the business ot the convention. Hon J K Weatherford was chosen chair man, D V S Reid secretary and J J Du. bruille and George E Chamberlain tellers, On motion of J L Cowan ratification of the want nominations, nominations oi mar shal and treasurer was made the order of business. The ward nominations, for councilmen and members of central committee, were ratified. 1 N Hoffman was nominated for mar shal unanimously and Wm A Humphrey for treasurer in the same way. Gas. A gentleman representing a large Philadelphia gas works, is in the city talking gas works for Albany. He say water gas can be introduced for $1.25 s thousand feet and other gas much cheaper than four dollars, and that his company would not expect an extended exclusive franchise. Recently a petition circulated asking for an exclusive franchise for A Bacon for "say thirty years," was signed by 132 business men of the city. Some of these now, though, say that they had not considered the matter sufficiently. From a talk with quite a number we judge that majority want the franchise granted if it is the only way 10 get sucn a plant, oeiieving that it would auu 10 ine weattn ot tne city but would prefer to get u witnout tne elusive franchise. Whether such work can be secured without granting such ex clusive franchise Is a matter of dispute, some positive assertions being made on both sides. It is a good matter for our cit izens to consider and an important one to our city, as all new enterprises are. The Democrat's columns are always open for discussion on an important public matters Round House on Fire. Just before twelve last night the watchman at the round house discovered the roof of the house to be on fire, the same having caught from an engine that was placed in there in the evening. He gave an alarm and sent some one down street, a Chinaman running through the streets yelling "quick, quick, quick!" Nightwatch Jones was notified and as well the chief engineer; but it was understood that it was a building beyond the round house, and the city's hose would not reach the place anyway from the near est water, so no alarm was given on the bel I . People living in the vicinity took buckets, and with a small hose the flames were ex tinguished after quite a hard fight, and some damage had been done to the roof. Two Fingers Off. Yesterday while cutting hay in a cutting machine, Henry, son of Capt. Phillips, residing, across the river, caught his left hand In the knives of the machine, mangling the fingers in a fearful manner as well as cutting some on his right hand in hit efforts to get his left hand out. Dr. Ellis dressed the hands, amputating the two middle fingers of the left hand, and young Phillips is now re ported as doing well. HOME AND ABROAD. City eldctkn day.

Tho Boston Quintette Club is to exhibit in this city on Dec. 10th, enougk having agreed to take tickets to injure a big house, This will be a rare treat. Twenty-four school teachers were examin ed at Salem lost week with the following re sult : Nine firdt, ninescejnd and six third grade certificates, all passing.

IUeeryed soats on sale at Blackmail's drug store without extra charge, A Prodigy. One of the stars in the "Chip of the Old Block," to be presented here Wednesday evening, is Miss Jessie Bon6telIe, who is only seventeen years of age. She is said lobe remarkably efficient as a soubrette. A Democrat man, who formerly resided at the same place, and had a limited acquaintance with some of the Bonstelles, heard Jessie on several oc casions when she was about six years of age. She was a remarkable little elocu tionist then and we understand has since grown rapidly in talent: The Portland Newa says: "She is the most talented soubrette, with probably the exception of Patti Rosa, that has visited Portland. Al though only 17 years of age, Miss Bon stellc has already' revised and rewritten a play for her own use, which will probably J be produced in San Francisco very soon. The whole company is a strong one. Re served seats at iilackman s. Another Steamer. The Oregon Pa cific's new steamer, the Yaquina Bay, has arrived in San Francisco and will be im mediately put to work. It is needed badly, as, we are informed, there is freight re maining on the wharf at Yaquina City that has been there a month or more awaiting shipment, No Use for It. The Democrat office is In receipt of a fine map showing the lo cation of consular offices throughout thft world. Just at present democratic editor have no use for such a map. Any of our republican contemporaries who want a consulship can have the map. Drss Shoes. A fine job lot of men's shoes, 100 pairs, all different, No 7s, best in the city, at G W Simpson's. They range In price for from 81.50 to $3 50 about half of the regular price. No such bargains anywhere. Montetih & Sei their IMMENSE Call early before A Fearful Fight. Yesterday four Chinamen were killed In Portland in a Chinese pistol and knife fight. About a dozen engaged In it and forty or fifty shots were fired. It arose from a gambling mat ter and seems to have been headed by the highbinders. It was reported that "Sulli van," the Seattle gambler who has been in this city recently was one of the killed, but this is uncertain. Mr. Seals, the drummer who came up last night, says he was pres ent Immediately afterwards with about io,- 000 other people, and that the scene was an animated one. CHICKEN ItlUSTLK. Yesterday Chief Marshal Daakins, of tbe ' rlriatlo led into Judtto Davenport's Comt a man that looked as if he had fallen among tbe I Philistines or been run through a coru-iheller. His Honor looked him over head to foot and 1 in a voice that made the benches groan ho wanted to know of the terror stricken pris oner, when the cyclone etiuck him and which one of the boys he was. May it please year honor said the culprit as he biushed a blue ta;led fly from his marble brow and wiped his nose on the sleeve, of his coat, I was a hooper up for Harrison, lam known your Honor as tho silyer plated tongued orator cf the foothills ; but in an evil hour I made a wheel borrow het with one of the enemies of the tribe of Benjamin, and yesterday ycur Honor, tbe stipulations of that cussed Let was carried out. Tho one that lust your Honor was to wheel the other frein the foot of Yamhill avenue to the head of Tiger street. What has that got to do with your beiiitf brought before me, your framo bearing the ear marks of a steamboat explosion or an Al bany ealoou, now asked tbe Judo in a voice of thunder. Most noble Jul.'a replied the cvmpaijp howler, I won that bet und it was tho proudest moment of my life whea I step ed gaily into the wheelbarrow and ordered the champion of democracy to proceed with the show. The start was made your Honor amidst the plaudits of the multidtude. At every saloon on the routo wo stopped to re fresh ourselves on a kind of drink called by the simple untutored child of the forest, fire water; but known to the pale face by tbe classic name of tangle foot. I have a faint recollection your Honor of reaching the head of Tiger stroet then all was a blank till this morning when your Chief Marshal dug me out of an ash barrel in a back alley, my coat was ripped up tho back, my boots were gone, my raven locks filled with ashes and on the bosom of my pants was a placca'd, bearing in flaming letters the words "died of high proteotive train, ine Judge seemed to hesi tate for a momeut before passing sentence on this ouce proud loader of the hosts of Ben jamin and Levi. Then as a wave of pity in terlined with eontempt swept over his cold immovable face he told the wretched pris oner at the bar that he knew that the releut less hands of fate had been laid heavily upon his delicate frame ; butjustice demands that your selfconfesaed crime should be sat down on, and let me tell you pilgrim stranger that 01 all crimes io tbe eyes ot his (Jourt tbat ot a wbeelturrow bet in the most heiooas and depraved, I shall give yon sixty days on tho Island, and when your term expires quit politics, weave gimlets or start a poultice lactory, you aie ot too trusting and connding a nature for a politician. As the Marshal led the prisoner from the Court, a tear was seen to tr.nkle down tbe cheek of the Judge, and tne bald spot on bis bead shown like a bil liard ball in the gaslight. The friends of Judge Miller, of Lebanon, aro very muck elated over the report that he nai oeeu onerea tne otate portiolio in. 1 resi dent elect Harrison's cabinet. The Rev.
