A.v Explanation. Two or three days ago we mentioned the (act that a Philadel phia gas man was In tiie city and that wa. ter gas could be Introduced for $i.-'S thousand feet. We are now informed that the gas man is not a gas man at all, but an electric light man and is quite inimical to gas generally. This water gas, too, is not even a settled fact in the East, and it will probably be a great many years before it will be introduced on the Coast. The es tablishment of a bi plant like this in the city Is an Important matter, and it will be well to investigate the fact whether cities ever obtain such franchises without giving exclusive privileges. A prominent Port land man says that city is ten years behind time by being close in such matters. Some one else says Portland people want to kick themselves for having granted an exclusive franchise to a gas company ; but we are informed that East Portland, just across the river has just done it for fifty years. An other thing. One man savs with a $4 limit the price of gas would" be kept up ; another gentleman says it would not at all; but would be regulated entirely by the general price in the cities of the State. So the thing will be seen to be mixed up some. The Democrat has only the good of the city at heart and simply gives the present aspect of the matter. Ills Will. The will of the late W. R. Cannon has just been probated. Mr. Can non left property valued at about $5000. He left his property, real and personal, to his wife, Mrs. Jos. Tyler and Mrs. S. G Dor ris, in three equal shares, Mrs. Cannon, though, receiving only a life Interest in the home residence near the Democrat office. His gold watch was bequeathed to his grand ion, Albert Dorris. Mrs. Belle Tyler was made executrix of the estate. The will was made on Sept. 17, 1888. From Lyonsvillk. Mr. Ilenrv I.vnn. of Lyonsvllle, the new town which he has just established this side of the Mehama bridge on the Oregon Pacific, was In the city yesterday. He infoimed us that he had already sold twenty-one lots In Lyonsvllle, all of the purchasers of which declare their intention of building at an early date, so that the prospect of quite a thriving village there Is good. Work on the road Is being pushed, and Mr Lyons thinks Breltenbush Will h rmnU-A .1.1- it-ancu whs wiiucr.

Montetih & Sei their IMMENSE The City Charter, A special meet ing of the city council was held last even ing to consider proposed amendments to the city charter, preparatory to the pre sentation of the same to the next state leg islature. They will be reported by the committee to the next meeting of the coun cil. The amendments proposed proyide for the extension of the city limits so that they will take In Hackleman's third addi tion, running beyond Hub liryants proper ty, through the Ilackleman property to the road In front of the Nickerson farm, thence west to the present city limits. Providing for the increase of the limit of indebted ness from $iOOO to $5000 and the leving of a tax not exceeding 8 mills, now 5 mills. Providing for the punishment for the use of obscene, abusive and profane language. Providing for the restraining of cattle, mules, jacks, etc. from running at large. Giving the city power to buy land for a public park. Providing for taking up teams left standing a certain length of time, and for prevention of cruelty to animals. Providing for connection with main sewers when within three blocks, now two, so far as practicable. "Providing for power of council to revoke licenses on party being found guilty. These amendments will be seen to be in keeping with the growing condition of the city, and are all reasonable to the extent of the change proposed. IIakrisiiurg's Election. About a year ago the saloon license, at Harrisburg was raised to $1000. .It proved a local op tion measure. The saloons stopped ; but the drug stores kept running. As a result, though, during the last year it has not cost a cent to run the city. There have been no drunks and the Marshal has had nothing to do. But the sidewalks have become dilap idated and prominent citizens refuse to consent to the levying of a tax, and as a re sult there lias been a slight reaction. Mon day at the city election the Issue In th e choice of the Councilmen was low or high license. The low license ticket was elect ed as follows : Dr W F Mendenall, John Bennett, Theo. Roach, Win, Roach, Jas, Sabin and J L Fuller. The remainder of those elected were J P Schooling, Mayor j L Douglas, Marshal, and Geo lsom, Re corder, there being no Issue except as to the councilmen. As a result two saloonswlll Immediately be opened in the city and a revenue of $600 he raised. That Is the way the matter stands at Harrisburg. The Marshal will now have business, and the Recorder's Court will be opened. Those Two Chinamen. Deputy Sher iff John T. Ward, of Portland, arrived In the city last night and this morning took the two Celestials arrested by Deputy Sheriff Smith to Portland. When arrest ed the Chinamen claimed that they had gotten on at Salem ; but the conductor of the freight train said they boarded the train at the car shops in a suspicious wav. After they were taken out of the caboose I two revolvers were found that thev had ( concealed. Mr. Ward says they are the j Chinamen wanted and were mixed up in uic muruer. iney naa $100 on their per- uiis lugcuicr. Fatherless. No institution In Oregon has quite as much fun poked at It as the Narrow Guage railroad. The following Is from an Astoria paper: "They've got a little fatherless and motherless concern up the country called a railroad. It Is a nar row gauge, and trips that they undertake are attended with misfortune; when the cars don't upset or jump the track they get through with about as muck certainty and promptness as does the mail to this city, brought down on the "Black Mariah." At Salem. This comedy was rendered at the opera house last evening to a fair sized audience, which was highly amused from the opening through the whole per formance There is not much plot to the comedy, but the troupe is admirably made for the manufacture of fun. Miss Bonstelle is an excellent actress, her natural naivete captivating the crowd In every scene. Mills and Scott also do some fine work. States- Foot Prints. A traveling man stopped In town a day or two this week, and done up the windows of several of our business houses in grand style, painting them In colors. Grant's Pass Courier. Such a man was here a few months age and paint ed the town red in more ways than one Lafayette Remitter. He also left his Cheap John but flaming marks in Albany recent- )y' - Died. Mr, Bardwell, father of A. Bard well, died at the home of his son last Satur day at the adyanced age of 89 years, and was burled on Monday. Mr. Bardwell came to Linn county with his wife in 1877 from Iowa, and was'quite a remarkable old gentleman.

Trayel, he says, continues over the mountain wagon road, oa which there is now no snow. Why is it that when you hear a person on crutches, particularly a youth, coming into your front door, you instinotiyely look for a request for money. On Saturday evening Deo IS, McPherson Post assisted by the W H C will present the drama "The Confederate Spy." A strong east is said to have been made for the play . A very fine thing is the New Mikado Si phon oil can, for sale by Conn Bros. All yon haye to do is pump and the oil comes, and a amp is as easily emptied if desired. Noth like it. Minneapolis is crowins because Brad. street's records show that oyer 125 different articles are manufactured in that city, while ouiymcy cuuerent articles are manufactured lnstfaul. The citizens of Albany and vicinitv are in vited to call at F. M. Frenoh's, "The Corner Jewelry Store" and sea his stock of Christ mas presents, and examine prices, which will be found very low. The wife of Mr Bardwell, whose death is mentioned elsewhere, who rtmemitApA hArhn.. band two or three years, onoe sat on the knee of George Washington, and the incident is one tne tamiiy very justly refers to with pride. An exchange says that some merchants would like to advertise their goods if it did not cost anything. This has become an ad vertising age, and the belief is rapidly ex tending that liberal advertisers get more trade, and, hence, can sell cheaper than anoh as do not advertise. Some of the shrewdest business men advertise most when trade seems to oe gettlog dullest. Scio Election. The eleotion at Scio Monday was very exoiting. Issue High or Low license.
