FATAL FIRE At ASTORIA
Musician Navoni Is Suffocated
While Trying to Save
His Violin.
Was the First Leader of the Tivoli
Opera.House Orchestra in San
Francisco.

ASTORIA, Or, Aug. 8. - Professor
John Morrisey Navoni, musician, was
suffocated during the progress of blaze
in an Astor-street building at an early
hour this morning. Navoni roomed in
the upper portion Of the house. and made
an attempt to reach his room to save his
violin. He was overcome by the smoke,
but during the excitement was not
missed, and it was not until the rooms
were being examined by the firemen that
his body was found.
Navoni came to this city from Portland
about four years ago and has officiated as
orchestral leader in various places. Dur
ing the last few months he had devoted
his time to teaching, and when oppor-
tunity offered played at entertainments.
Navoni was born in New York In 1886
He was the son of an Italian musician of
note. In his early life he was a violinist
in many Eastern theatrical and operatic
orchestras. He went to San Francisco
about fifteen years ago and remained there
for a number of years, being the first
orchestra leader in the Tivoh OPERA ouse.
His father was an intimate friend of John
it was after the latter that the musician
was named. He was married, but owing
to his dissipated habits in former years
he became estranged from his wife and
family. He was practically without
means, but his remains will be given
burial bv his fellow-musicians of this city,
among whom he was popular both be-
cause of his skill as a violinlst and his
UQDial nature

other hand stood a soldier and states
mana man not of destiny, but of history.
When Congressman Barham came for
ward he was cheered to the echo. He said
that he had but one political am bition,
viz: to serve his constituents faithfully
and well. His record would show for it
self how far he had been successful. he
dwelt with earnestness on the tariff and
silver questions, declaring himself the
stanch friend of silver, having in its inter-
est voted independent of party IN the
past. He stood ever ready TO advance its
cause in the future.
Another question of equal Importance
to tariff or silver, he said, was the con-
siruction of the Nicaraguan canal, the
great ocean highway which would make
the United States the commercial center
OF the world. He spoke of the Importance
of cheap transportation and OF our great
waterways, which alone could make US ab-
soiuteIy independent of the grasping rail-
way corporations. The long fight for the
present canal bill was reviewed, and the
| Congressman promised to continue his
greatest efforts in its behalf.
Representative Barham's speech was
frequently interrupted by applause or by
peals of laughter at his many witty
thrusts at our friends on the other side
of the political fence"
o. o. Webber stated that the prime OBJ
iect of the meeting was to form Guerne-
vile Republican club. One hundred names
were signed to the roll at once. Owing to
| the lateness of the hour no organization
was effected, and with rousing cheers the

WATER FOR SANTA ROSA
Inexhaustible Supply Gushing
Up From an Under
ground Flow.
Two Million Gallons Day From
New Well Sunk by
the City.

SANTA ROSA, CAL. Aug. 3.-The per-
picking problem of an adequate water
supply for this city was to great extent
solved Saturday afternoon. The new
water system, which cost the taxpayers
S165. 600 outright, with prospect of much
additional expense, had not proved to be
all that its supporters hoped for. The
eight wells would not give out sufficient
water for the city's needs. The big double
pump, with capacity of 1000, 900 gallons
day, was kept running day and night,
and the insufficient quantity thus obtained
was so charged with air from the powerful
pumps as 10 resemble San Francisco milk
before the first Dockerey raid. There was
a great deal of subdued uneasiness over
the situation, and the Council at length
determined to sink huge well to tap, If
possible, the underground flow.
Late Saturday afternoon the long
looked-for water came with rush, pure,
cold and sparkling. So rapidly did the
big we'll fill that the workmen were forced
to seek the surface or swim. The water
had reached the surface yesterday morn
ing in spite of the pump and an addi-
tional pump was placed into position.
Another is now being attached, giving The
system a capacity of 100000 gallons per
day, and thorough test of the new flow
will be made during the coming dry sea-
son. If, as the promoters believe, the
supply comes from the Sierras it will
prove inexhaustible and will be the great
est boon ever visited upon Santa Rosa.

H0LD-UP KEAR FRESNO.
Masked Men Halt Two Vineyard Empioyes
and appropriate Part of Their
Wealth.

FRESNO, CAL, Aug. 3.-A. A. Green
and Harold Latter, employees at the Eisen
vineyard, were held up by two masked
robbers five miles east of this city about
IL 80 o'clock last night. Green and Latter
were in a carriage, and were returning
from visit to the city. When at a point
near Denicke's fig ranch the robbers
sprang from the bitches at either side of
the road. They were masked and, level
ing revolvers at the men IN the carriage,
commanded them to stop.
Neither Green nor Latter were armed,
and they were taken so com pletely by sur
prise that they could do nothing but obey.
They were ordered TO get out upon the
road and hold up their hands. In the
darkness Green slipped his watch into his
hat and threw his purse to the side of the
highway, without being detected, Latter
was too near one of the robbers to save
anv yalua bles. Both men were searched
by the robbers. Nothing was secured from
Green, but Latter lost S50watch and So
in cash.
The robbers then marched the two men
up the road for distance of quarter of
mile. They instructed Green and Latter
to proceed eastward. The road agents
then went back and took the horse and
carriage. in which they drove to this city.
At 9 o'cIock this morning the rig was
found on N street, the horse having been
turned loose.

Thomas Burke, Washington's delegate to
the conference of sound-money Democrats,
to be held at Indianapolis on August to
determine whether or not to place Ma
tional ticket in the field, having on Satur-
day forwarded his proxy to General Ed
ward 8. Bragg, in a subsequent letter of
this date expresses his personal views in
part as follows:
regard the defeat of the Chicago platform
and its candidates as of more Importance to
the welfare of the country than the preserva-
tion for this campaign of party interests or
party name. The position taken by Bourke
Cochran commends itself to my judgment
This course would give a rsllying point around
which Democrats after election can gather,
and at the same time would enable sound
money Democrats to cast their votes in such
way as to make them most effective. do not
believe we can at this time serve our country
and our party by firing into the air. We
should be in a position to cast our ballots so as
misrule and disorder represented by the Chi
cago and the St. Louis Populistic platforms. 1
do not believe that third ticket viii best pro-

TRUCKEE, CAL, Aug. 3.-Undaunted
by last season financial failure the stock
holders in the ice palace are already
making preparations for the coming
winter. Both the ice palace and toboggan
slide will be run as heretofore and M any
needed Improvements are to be made.
Mountaineers prognosticate an unusually
cold winter. Should these prophecies be
fulfilled success is assured. 'sTom" Whit
ney, a prominent Truckeeite and the prin-
cipal protector of the ice palace scheme,
said to-day:
Finances cut no figure. The palace
goes as it did last season." and, pointing
to the frame work of the palace, he con-
tinued: "If l am not mistaken a crystal
covering will enshroud those walls as
early as November next, and by the early
part of December ou palace will be in per-
feet shape. Those who prophesied failure
for our project will be made to see their
mistake"
Truckeeites in general are sangnine OF
the success ofEthis particular project dur
ing the coming winter. Every indication
points to an unusually cold season.

a Rousing Speech.
GUERNEVILLE, CAL, Aug. 3.-Judge
Barham, Congressman of the First Con-
gressional District, delivered his opening
speech OF the campaign in this place at
Union Hall Saturday night. He arrived
on the evening train in company with a
party of prominent Santa Rosa Republi-
cans The train was met by the Guerne-
vile brass band and the distinguished
party was escorted to the Grand Central
Hotel.
The evening meeting was most enthusi-
astic and for two hours the speakers held
the undivided attention of their audience.
The hall was packed, farmers and wood
men coming even from beyond Cazadero,
ten miles distant over the mountains.
d. E. Mckinley of Santa Rosa spoke
first. He is an orator of ability, and for
over two years be has advocated free silver
from a non-partisan standpoint. In his
speech last night he told why all patriotic
friends of the white metal should vote the
Republican ticket. He dwelt on the his
torical causes which have brought about
the present financial system throughout
Europe. He said the price OF silver, Ike
the price of every other commodity, was
regulated by law and demand, and not
until the ten great nations of Europe went
back to a bimetallic basis could the price
of silver be forced to 81 % per ounce. where
It must be in order that a silver dollar be
of equal value to one of gold.
The speaker bade his hearers beware of
Democratic promises, recalling the days
when they were told OF the blessings of
tariff REFORM" which had proved an
utter failure. He compared the two
standard bearers. One, another great un-
