RASPING THE REGULAR OFFICERS.
What Safety Committeeman Says
of Them.
Intfmations That the Committee is
Laying Plans for Dealing With
All the Migrants.

The Citizens Safety Committee met
last night at Pythian Castle. Owing to
the absence of two of the principal OF
ficers, who had been called to San Fran
cisco, no particular business was trans
acted.
The Secretary stated that the honorary
membership was rapidly growing and
that all the leading business men Of the
city expressed satisfaction at the diminu-
tion of the vagrant class. These were
rapidly seeking more congenial fields for
their operations, and by continued vigil
lance on the commitIee's part it was
hoped that this state of affairs would con-
tinue.
The speaker also promised that unless
there was an immediate change there
would be an, investigation in police
circles that would cause the forfeiture of
several stars. Members of the force, he
said, were in the habit of ornamenling
the backrooms OF saloons with their pres
ence more than they did their beats.
1t was stated that members of the I'm
dustrial Army" had openly made boasts
OF resistance if the Ciuzens' Safety Com
mlttee attempted to arrest any OF their
comrades but they will probably learn
III ILlS HShI Lldb thSy tIO AO liOIO y
exempt from arrest for breaking city or
dinances than any other class.
Continuing, the Secretary said that
work lay before the members OF the assO-
| clation-perhaps serious work-and when
| the time comes all must be prepared to
meet any demand made upon them. The
time would be short when many who are
now living in tancied security will find
| themselves within the grasp of the law.
Ali the undesirable element must leave
town or suffer the consequences. At
present it was best to give them all the
| latitude possible, so as to assure convic-
tions in the courts, but in the near future
mon who have not the remotest idea any
one would dare to modest them will be
brought up with sufficient evidence TO
place them at labor on the county rock
pile.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Their Rise and Progress - Excellent
Compilation of Local History.
There has been issued from the press

partment of the City of Sacramento.

The volume contains a complete his
tory OF the public schools fthe city, and is
EN- mbellished with many half-tone cuts of

earliest friends of the public schools in
Sacramento, and in whose honor the
name OF the Capital Grammar School was

INAUGURAL BALL FINANCES.


1t is Thought They VIII Come Out
Pretty Even.
The Inaugural Ball Executive Com
mlttee met yesterday to sum up the re-
celpts and expenditures of that memora-
bic affair. One or two Chairmen of sub
committees were not on hand, however,
and it was decided to pay no bills until
all demands are in hand.
a pretty careful estimate, however,
shows that there will be very small
margin either way. There may be money
enough to meet the bills, or within 500
or SO OF the required sumS
Ihe Banquet Committee despite the
wild stories published abroad of "cham-
pagne flowing like water"-reported that
only about one-half the quantity pur-
chased was used, the rest being returned
! in unbroken cases.
The committee was surprised at the
Pile OF written passes that showed up,
which were mostly signed by the Chair
man OF the Hall Committee. They rep
resented a small army of ushers, hat
room clerks and other reputed employees,
including not few ladies who were in
the glddy throng in all the splendor OF
full dress.
Several mem bers Of the Executive Com
mittee declared that these employees we're
nearly ali at the first table at supper.
some OF the newspapers that had their
bright young men at the ball to "write it
up' have stated that Ex-Governor Mark
nam, wife and daughter, were neglected
ana could not get into the supper hall,
and that they went away in disgust.
On the contrary, it was shown that
Mr.: Mark ham did not go to supper early
owing TO the sudden indisposition of
Mrs. Markham, and they remained in
the Library at their own request until tie
rush was over He declared, however,
that he was never treated SO well in his
lie, not even on the occasion of his own
inaugural ball.
Tne Executive Committee found much
TO crltlclse, however, in other ways, and
mere promises to be some overhauling at
the meeting next Wednesday.

PoRTLANDER TALKS OF RoPsRT

Perel Springs, NO., August 6.-Free sill
yer conquered today in Missouri as It
did in Illinois. and the fears expressed
late last night and carly this morning
that there would be strife and turmoil
in today's convention were borne out.
The so-called gold or sound money advo-
Gates were so overwhelmed by the su-
perior organization and numerical
strength of the free silver leaders and
forces that they made very faint efDort
to stay the onslaught of the white metal
advocates.
Bland said in opening the convention
that THE Democrats of Missouri had as
sembed TO adopt resolutions for the free
coinage of silver and ITO select a state
committee which would be in sympathy
with the popular wall, and that his pro,
phecy was carried out the result of to-
days convention tells.
The report of the committee on perma-
nent organization, which practically
SHOWS under the Old committee, wac
adopted with but one or two dissenting
voices That of resolutions calling for
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver
at 16 to l, regardless of any foreign ma
ton, was carried with hurrah, and the
excitement which foOlowed was seldom
If ever seen in amy convention and, fur
thermore, men were selected to nominate
Delegates favorable to silver to the ma
tional Democratic convention of 1896.
AS whole, the friends of silver are
feeling happy tonight and congratulations
are in order.
WhEe waiting for the committee on res
oludons ito report THE time was taken up
in speech making, Ex-Congressman Hatch
and Hon. M. e. Benton addressing the
convention.
The most remarkable portion Of Ben
TOMS address was hIs reference to the
gold advocates. He said: "Every gold
advocate in the state of Missouri is either
an office holder or a mAn with large
prospects of am Office"
The resolutions were adopted with a
whoop. Additional resolutions were pre-
sented and adopted authorizing the chair
man of the convention to- appoint dele-
gates from each congressional district to
aUtend the convention dn Washington on
August IA, as recommended by Senators
Turpie, Harris and Jones; that THE state
central committee be requested to call a
state convention to be heVd in st. Louis
not later than April Is, 1896, to
select ddegaltes Ito the national Demo-
cratic convention dn 1896 Greetings were
sent Senator Blackburn. of Kentucky, in

conventions at Fort Worth, Texas, and

Mr.. Hammond Plans for the
Future City.
THE NEW ASTORIA LAID OUT
Work Progressing and Soon All
Will Be Under Way-Plan of
Tunnel Changed.
The orsgOnlan q yesteroay saws.

The Oregonian OF yesterday says:
"Mr, A. b. Hammond, the Astoria nall
road contractor, will be in this city to-
moniow TO attend to Important business
In connection with the nne. 1t Is un-
derstcod that there are two surveying
parties out NOW between Goble and AS
toria, and the real work of building the
road will commence In a very short time.
1t is not known as yet ait which end OF
the kne work viii commence. Mr.. Ham
mond has completed the preliminary de-
tails of his Flavl project, and Those
who have been leit into his secrets are
asuonished at the magnitude Of the work
OUTLINED. The entire peninsula has been
laid out into city, which win reach
from Yloung's river to the ocean,
Wlharves, grain and other kinds of ware
houses Factories, and hotels are provided
for. While no one expects that great
city will spring up there dn the immediate
future, Mr.. Hammond will be prepared
for THE development that will be worked
out on a complete plan. Engineer He
gardt, who mas for years in charge of THE
Columbia River jetty work, has ably as
sisted Mr.. Hammond In laying out this
work."
When shown the above Mr.. Hammond
stated ito an Historian representative that
the article was substantially correct In
Its details, but that THE announcement
was 0ittle premature. 1t will take years
to develope such a scheme, but THE plans
are laid out carefully and scientifically
and the city will be perfect one. 1t will
be the location OF manufactures and
warehouses;, as 1t will have Ihe space to
devote to them.
Mo doubt old Astoria viii be the resi-
dence portion, and ht is quite probable
that her banks and business houses will
continue Ito malntain the lead.
To an inquiry yesjterday Mr.. Hammond
stated that the bridge across Youngs
river would be completed by December
1, 1896. This will mean much to Astoria,
hlpu ny uIe WllIle WllnueT S6tS III " uOCOuo-
tive will mo doubt be In the city, THE fore
runner OF THAT commerce by rail which is
to up-build the city to "a pinnacle OF COM
mercial supremacy.
The engineers are pushing the work OF
laying out the line on various parts OF the
night of way and soon active construction
work will begin.
The site for depot has not yet been
definitely decided upon. The location near
the Clatsop Mill is eligible and another
has been offered in Alderbrook. Both
locations are under consideration.
The engineers have practically decided
30 make longer tunna at John Days
In order to reduce THE curves.
Mr.. Hammond went to Portland last
right whence he wilQ return in two or
three days. 1t is understood that the
object of his trip Is to start the con-
struction company under way. Before
many days busy scenes will be enacted
In and around Astoria.

power to check them. One report states

two were sacrificed. 1t is learned from
a private source in this city that there
were five children in the family. Three
of them were murdered with their pa

creases Interest in the Trial.
San Francisco August Cit Is likely
that strong protest wifi be made against
Walter L. Brown, one of the accepted
witnesses in the cnse of Theo. Durrant,
charged with the murder Of Blanche La
mont
The prosecution has received informa-
tion that Brown served as a juror In
the first trial of M. D. Howell charged
with couRterfeiting. It is said that in
THAT case, which took place In the Unit
ed States district court, Brown hung the
jury, and that his action in the case
had been a subject of inquiry by the
federal grand jury.
The police believe they have evidence
enough against Brown TO procure his re-
lection as juror in the Durrant case.
No additional Jurors were secured to-
day to try DWrant.
The report of the attempt to assault
Durrant yesterday had the effect of In
creasing the number who walt about the
entrances Of the jail and city hall 10
