The concert given last evening by the Boston Quintette Club was one of the most refined and pleasing nffahs ever presented to an Albany audience. We don't know much about music ; but it seemed to us as if the house fairly swarmed with masses of harmony, expression , volume and compass from the time the quintette's bows first touched the fid violins in the selection from Mr. Svendsen to the finale. Oscar Ilcnlschcl twirled his lips on his flute until the air was fairly convulsed with twirl, and twitters and rhapsodies. lie was cn tluisiasticly encored. Miss Anne Carpen ter sang Bolero. Miss Carpenter is im mense weighs about 300 and captivated the audience. Shedisplays cultivation and great compass of voice ; but we know at least a couple In Oregon whose voices have more melody In public concert for the writer. John F. Rhodes violin solo was applauded and the marcli of the ghost, the consplrurcy.ctc. made the air savor of grave yard. This mid-night scene is a grand piece of violin work. Louis Itlumcnburg's violinceilo solo was heartily encored, but not responded to. His line diamond ring also captivated the audience. Miss Carocn ter was a second time encored and Babil lag? by the quintette closed the concert. Time, 1 hour, 40 minutes. Number pres ent, about 250. Two Accidents. About 5 o'clock yes terday morning Mr. William Watklns, the coal mine man, was walking along the high sidewalk at Lebanon, near the depot.it be ing very dark, when he fell off the walk against a bundle of tools he was carrying, an J broke two of his ribs, lie boarded the morning train and started for Portland ; but got off at Oregon City and had the fractures reduced. Mr. vVatkins said he would sue either the railroad or city f Lebanon or somebody for damages. A boy who was walking along near Mr.Wa1" kins at the same time fcil off the walk and injured himself considerably, perhaps sprain ing his arm. There was no light burning at the thne,though it is said it has been cus tomary to have one there. IIarrishuru Council. The Harris burg City Council met last evening. At the recent city election, three gentlemen. T F Roach, J L Fuller and Dr Dayis re ceived the same number of votes, 34, for Councilmen. As there were four receiv ing higher votes and six constituted the Council cuts were to be drawn to see which two should be decarled Councilmen. We are Informed that three trials were made, each resulting the same, Mr. Fuller and Mr. Roach, the low license men being elected, Dr. Davis, the high license candi date getting the blank each time. THE WKKUK. The Democrat's account of the wreck. ing of the steamer "Yaqulna Bay" in Its Issue of yesterday, is practically verified by further reports received to-day, all from very reliable source. As stated ilie steamer was swept back to the jetty strlk ing the rocks of the jetty about haif way from the east to the 'west end, lying about as follows, permitting an unartistic sketch cf the situation : In the morning in order to hold the steamer down water was pumped into it, so that it Is impossible to say whether there are serious holes stove In the bottom ; but it is thought there are small ones. The freight was taken 011 gang planks direct from the steamer to the top of the false work over the jetty, where it has been cov ered, and will be shipped to the Vallcv as soon as possible. The people at the Bay are much encouraged over Hie prospects of saving the steamer. The watar will be pumped out and the full extent of the dam age will then be known. An experienced ship carpenter who came overto-Uay, hav Ing come In on the "Willamette Valley," says the boat can be repaired for at least $20,000, and there is a possibility of its be. ing gotten alloat if the bottom is not too se riously injured. It transpires that the reported attack bv tramps upon Oscar Marshal near the U I' church, wts nothing more than some other boys shootiug at a cat. The reported assault was all a joke. Herald. The reported, assault was uot a joke, and it does not transpire that it was some other boys. It was four tramps and they meant business. The shooting vaa not at cats, but towards the desperadoes. It may not be pleasaut to h.ive these fellows around; but there is no use to try ami cover up the mat ter. The sovoral cases given by the Dkmo cbat have beoo well authenticated ones, and something should be dono to rid the city of these lawless fellows, who, coming out from the East, thiuk they havcextracrdinary priv ileges here. Df.creased Valuation. The total tax able property In Oregon, as given by the assessment rolls, for 1887, was $84,888,580 for i8S8,$35,So3,429. Those counties which gave decreased valuations were : Benton with a decrease of $283,499 ; Clackamas, $7,615 ; Douglas, $97,935 ; Gilliam, $58, 610 i Grant, $711,740 ; Lake, $47,597; Linn, $50,213 ; Marion, $1,980,821 ; Mor- ' row, $sS,226 ; Union, Sj.Gn : Washing ""i -pj'-iyw. Aucicisny excuse tor tms even on the plea that foreign morteaffes have been withdrawn. The truth is the decrease in most cases is due to the svstem and present practice of aisessment. Peo. pie generally seem to be trying to 6ee how mucn mey encat tne atate. No. 10.

M Atn a Circuit. Some gentlemen from Millers who wanted to go to the court house yesterday, took a wide circuit around the eastern part of the city, made a sweep from the south directly to the build ing, reaching there In safety. They had heard for certain that there was smallpox in the Third ward, and didn't want to catch it. Keep cool, gentlemen, there's no small pox here. The Democrat will tell you about It at once if it should happen. Will Resign At the meeting of the W. C. T. U. to-night Mrs. J. H. Townsend will resign her position as president, one she has filled with remarkable faithfulness since the organization of the union. Mr, Townsend and family will move to Port land in a few days, where his position in the Pacific Insurance Company demands his constant attention. Getting Very Familiar. Yesterday evening a member of the genus bovlnus entered the yard of Mr. W. C. Cassell, op posite the Democrat office, and after help ing herself to whatever could be found In the yard walked Into the kitc'ien, fertil ized the floor and went out again. SheevI dently had not heard of the recent vote on the cow question. Montetih & Sei their IMMENSE Call early before One Way The proper way to adver tise a county here is to advertise In eat crn papers simply asking parties interested to write for pamplets. Salem did this with the following result, stated by the States man: "JohnG.

Arrived. The steamer "Willamette Valley" arrived at the Bay from San Fran Cisco last evening, with twelve first-class passengers and a small freight. It crossed the bar with soundings from eighteen to twenty-three feet, tying up at the wharf at Yaqulna at 6 o'clock. Its passengers were consiueraoiy surprised to see the" Yaqulna nay lying a wrecK against tne jetty. Nothing Unearthed. The Investiga tion of the books and affairs of Col.
