THE COMMITTEE MEETS
Right-of-Way Bond Formally
Delivered.
HAMMOND ACCEPTS THE BOND
The Direction and Bond Committees
Close Their Labors-Guarantee
Committee Organize.

Early yesterday Afternoon the commit
tee of twenty-one, the bond and direction
committees, held meetings in the chamber
Of commerce rooms.
The committee OF direction closed its
labors and made its final report.
The committee on the right Of way
bond formally issued the bond, given to
secure the outstanding right of way, and
turned 1t over to Mr.. Hammond, thus
completing Its labors. Mr.. Hammond
formally approved and accepted the bond.
The-guarantee committee then met and
organized for its work Of securing the
balance OF the right Of way, and will
commence its labors at once.
These are the simple steps taken In a
few minutes, which show how much can
be accomplished when all work In har-
nony on lines of mutual interest. The
simple statement of facts In few words
means much to Astorians. The machin-
cry has been set in motion that is to
soon make so great change in the So
cial and business situation of not only
Astoria, bu the entire state. The rail-
road map OF the coast Is to be remod-
elled and a new terminal of transconti-
mental railroads established. An epoch
in the history OF Oregon will be marked
in the pages Of history, and but few
strokes OF the pen was all that was ne
cessary to press the button. There was
not a man in the meeting but who felt
repaid for the months and years Of hard
labor spent in preparation.

Washington, July N,-Consul Waller has

which he expected to make before the
French court-martial by which he was
tried in Tamarlo, but which 1t appears he
did not have an opportunity to deliver.
Walters letter is dated in prison at Mar

or two since through the state depart
ment. The document says
81 am charged with having violated an
article of the penal code by correspond

as to the movements Of the French troops

not be sustained nor believed by any
honorable court. When your honors

of the letters to my wife, Mrs Tessie, and
the young Hova. 1 call attention of the
court to the fact that in none of these
letters are any of the movements of the
French army in Madagascar or elsewhere,
mentioned, nor referred to in any way.

HoKE SMITH IN GEORGIA.

Cordete Ca, July N.-Secretary Hoke
Smith today concluded his tour of the
state in the interest of sound money by
addressing a crowd of several thousand
gathered here from all over Southern
Georgia. Extraordinary preparations had
been made by the committee of the sound
money league. A monster barbecue and
several hundred water melons were pro-
vidod to feed the multitude.
The speaking took place in the open
cir. Congressman Livingstone came In
last night and announced his intention to
speak at the conclusion of the secretary's s
address In response to the invitation by
the Cordete free silver league, long after
the sound money league had arranged to-
days demonstration in behalf Of the s:c-
retary of the interior. There is much in
dignation at this effort of the free silver
men to intrude upon the occasion arrang-
ed for the states representative in the
cabinet, the congressman's action being
construed as effrontery.

that the Equitable Life has more insur-.

that the Equitable Life has more insur-

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

New York, July N.-The Financier says
this week: The statement of the asso-
ciated banks of this city for the week
ending July q, reflects In part a contin-
ued stagnation of sterling exchange mar
ket, and the usual midsummer lethargy.
There was little demand for money dur
ing the week and rates have remained
practically unchanged. The reserve is
increasing again and Is higher then 1t mas
been since January q.
The talk of higher money rates Is still
heard, but the uncertainty surrounding
the exchange market and the knowledge
that outside offerings of funds are prob
ably at higher rates have prevented any
advancement SO far. The demand for
money from the South and West has
not been up to expectations although
there is every reason to look for a move
ment from these points soon.
Comparisons with year ago show that
the New York banks are carrying a
much heavier volume Of loans and many
millions less in deposits, while the re-
serve Is only about half as large as re-
ported for the corresponding week In
1894.

KILLED BY A MOB.
Justice Bakers Murder Avenged by His
Friends.

Fresno, Cal, July N.-Word was receiv-
ed here this afternoon that Victor Adam,
who murdered Justice 1. l.. Baker, in
cold blood at ONeils Tuesday morning
last, met death yesterday afternoon at tine
hands of a mob of 60 citizens, friends
of the dead justice.
Adam was captured about thirty miles
above O'Nears yesterday morning, by a
brother of the murdered man, and two
other men, friends on the judge. There
were returning with their prisoner to
O'Neals and when within three miles of
their destination, they were met by sixty
men who had heard of the capture and
were determined to act as both judge and
jury. They informed the prisoner that
his time had come and that If he had any
thing to say he had better be doing 1t.
They advised him to pray first, which he
refused to do. The only statement he
made was that he was only partially re-
sponsible for the crime. The moose was
adjusted around Adams neck, and The
other end was attached to the limb of a
tree, and the victims body swung into
air.
