the winter season has barely commenced.
In Astoria the present tendency for
such entertainments seem TO run 70 ba-
Esars OF various kinds. The old fashioned
literary and concert entertainment has
been totally neglected in Astoria for a
long while. There is reason to believe
that the first church or other organiEa-
ton which gets into the field with good /
concert will reap a harvest

1t has been decided to fix the general ad-
mission at a price which win enable every
one 20 witness this novel and entertain
ing exhibition. The Irish fair wherever
exhibited has always attracted a large
attendance. Commencing with the cities
on the Atlantic coast last fall. the Irish
fair reached Chicago early In the winter
and was one Of the most popular enter
tainments Of that gay city during the
entire winter The one just closed at

on Thursday evening 10 attend the funer-
al and will probably be detained there
for some time in connection with matters
relating 10 the settlement Of his fathers
estate. 1t Is strange coincidence that
the death Of Mrs. Elmore occurred with

OF her husband, the late r. p. Elmore, It
thus happens that Mr.. Samuel Elmore
has been called east twice within a year
to bury, first his father and the second
time his mother
The British ship Garnet Hill, which will
De remembered as leaving this port last
fall, lumber laden for Taku, Japan, has
not yet reached her destination. and some
fears are expressed FOR her safety. The
Garnet Hill Is out 50 days and is consid-

made in from IS to 20 days. Five per cent
reinsurance has been offered on her sew
eral days ago. Previous TO her trip TO
the Columbia river the Garnet Hill also
mad long passage, in which the rein
surance reached 20 per cent before her
arrival The Garnet Hill may be listed
among the unluclzy ones, as her trip from
Portland TO Astoria before leaving here
occupied almost "A days. Most OF this
time she was stuck on the sands at the
mouth Of the Willamette, but for some
reason or other no reinsurance had been
offered on that occasion.
The certificates Of nomination OF the
republican candidates for councnmen
were fled with Auditor Nelson yesterday.
The report was current on the streets
yesterday that 1t was the intention Of
party leaders to withhold the certificates
until the time allowed by law for filing
them had passed. This would result IN
the present members holding over. The
candidates, 1t Is said. would not stand
this work and insisted that the certifl-
Gates be flled. The matter caused no little
comment among those interested in poll
ties, asthe situation, IL correctly reported,
was decidedly odd one The candidates
are; John WEIGH and A. Scherneckan,
Second ward; q. p. Parker, First ward;
