Captain Kane Olney was seriously
injured on board the steamer No Won
der in this city about three years ago
by a broken chain flying back and
hitting him in the forehead and MAX
ing a dent in his skull. He has suf-
fered greatly from the effects of the
pressure of the skull upon the brain,
and has been subject to fits. and his
mind has been at times affected on ao-
count of the injury to his skull. 1t
was evident that unless something was
done to relieve him he would soon sue.
cumb, and short time ago he went up
to Good Samaritan hospital, in Port
land to have an operation performed.
A piece of the skull, about as large as
a dollar was cut out, and this COM
pletely relieved Captain Olney. A sill
yer plate has been placed over the hole
in the skull and the flesh stitched over
it. so that the silver plate is entirely
concealed and the forehead is very
slightly disfgured by the operation.
Captain Olney may truly be said to
have had his mind" relieved of a
great load.

Doings Of the
City Council.

The regular meeting of the city coun-
, Gil was held at the council chamber last
night. There were present, Council
men Welch lin the chair, and Berg
man, O'Hara, Lewis, McGregor, Lang
worthy and Webber.
Petitions for liquor license from AL
exander Gilbert, G. Capello & Co., were
granted.
From twelve residents of the swamp
lands near Jack creek asking for a
plank walk.
Referred to the street committee.
From all the BARRIERS in Astoria with
the exception of two. asking the coun-
Gil to pass an ordinance compelling the
closing the barber's shops on Sundays.
Councilman Lewis moved that this
petition be laid on the table. Cleanli-
ness was next to Godliness. and legisla-
ton of this character was opposed to
the state laws. If stranger came to
town on Sunday morning he had a
right to be able to get shaved before
going to church.
Councilman O'Hara was opposed to
class legislation of this character. If
all trades were included 1t would be
a different matter. He believed in all
men having one days rest, and If peo-
pie went and got shaved on Satur-
day nights, instead of playing poker,
they would have no cause to grumble.
Councilman Bergman said that this
was free country, and that If bar
ber wanted to close up his shop on
Sunday it. was his privilege to do so.
If man wanted to keep his store open
he also had right to do as he pleased.
The petition was laid on the table.
Captain Philip Johnson handed in his
resignation as harbor master of the
port The resignation was accepted,
and on motion of Councilman Welch,
Captain C. S. Gunderson was appoint
ed to the position.
The following report was received
from the committee on pubic property.
1t was referred to the city attorney:
Your committee on public property
to whom was referred the bill of Mar
tin Olson, amounting to $61S.9O, for
about three days work as auctioneer
for the chief of police, would respect
fully report, that in our opinion chap
ter 10 of the charter, gives the chief
the same power in relation to the col
lection of taxes that is given by law
to the sheriff, and that it Is the duty
of the chief to make such collections
without expense to the city. We there
fore return the bills without our ap-
proval, and recommend that the matter
be referred to the city attorney for a
written opinion.

The committee on streets and public
ways brought in the following report:
your committee on streets and pub
lie ways have requested me to recon-
mend a suitable grade for Lafayette
street, at its intersection with Bay
avenue. In accordance Herewith L
respectfully submit the following re-
concentrations, viz: That the grade at
the crossing of Lafayette street and
Bay avenue be fixed at twenty-five
feet above the base of grades. In con-
nection with this matter 1 deem 1t
proper to call your attention to the
fact that the official maps of the har-
Dor line show the bulkhead line to be
very nearly co-incident with the south
boundary of Bay avenue, and that the
survey for the final location of the AS

the crossing in question. Whether or
not these facts are entitled to any con-
sideration in the matter of the estab-
lishment of the grade is for your hon.
orable body to determine.

ARRIVAL OF THE PICKING.
She Was Delayed in Sailing by the
Yokohama Agents.

The o. g. o. S. S. City of Peking,
r. II. Searle, commander, was sig
nailed as twelve miles off at 5:45
o'clock this morning. AS the steam
err was over three days overdue
much anxiety was felt as to the
cause of her delay. A BULLETIN re-
porter, through the kindness of DR..
Trousseau, went out in the doctors
launch and met the steamer off the
harbor. DIR. Trousseau went on
board and examined the passengers
and within a"few minutes his head
peeped over the rail reporting, calls
well, come aboard"
An arrangement had previously
been made with the agents that
should the captain decide to come
into port, he should lower the flag
on the foremost to half-mast. AS
soon as the fact was reported to
Captain Searle he lowered the ensign
and the City of Peking headed in
the harbor, crossing the bar at 7:15
o'clock, at low tide, safely. The
steamer was drawing % feet G
inches. At $40 o'clock the
steamer locked at the Pacific Mail
wharf. She made the passage from
Yokohama in twelve days, being de-
layed in sailing by the agents.
The Picking had one saloon pas
songer, 30 Chinese and 6 Japanese
and European steerage passengers
for Honolulu, and the following
cabin passengers in transit:

THAT STRANGER GUARD.
Thompson's All Right-But What
About the Home Guards?

E. P. Thompson, the new Gus
toms guard, has letter in the Star
yesterday evening denying "a foul
accusation that he was dishonorably
discharged from the q. S. S. Bos-
ton" AS the BULLETIN never stated
that he was dishonorably discharg-
ed, why, Thompson is like the
Adams boat crew when the Bos-
tons are around - simply out Of
sight. 1t was one of the gun carriers
in the late revolution who called the
reporters attention to the fact of a
stranger being given preference for
a Government job, SO the insinua-
ton that royalist wants the job is
exploded. Give the gun carriers of
the country the first chance, and not
strangers who can get out Of the
country any time they like. At all
events the BULLETIN is established
for the benefit of all, and the men
who are snubbed after having been
used have one place they can get a
/ hearing.
