Excavations OH Site of Poets villa
Disclose Many Rare Antiques.

Rome.-Excavations on the site of
the villa which Maecenas presented to
Horace and to which the poet was so
~passionately attached, are proceeding
rapidly and are arousing great inter-
est. Frequent illusions found in
Horace's works to his Sabine farm"
all proclaim the locality of the villa
and its surroundings, foremost I'M
ong them being the valley through
which flows the Digentia, known to
moderns as the License river.
The Tepidarium, Calidarium and
Frigidarium of the villa baths have
already been uncovered and are
adorned by splendid mosaics, some
of which belonged to the age of An
-%tonius, hui proving hat Horace's
villa had many owners after his
death. Among the sculptures un-
earthed is a fine head of the Empress
Faustina.

MAY FORFEIT
The WEIGH
FRANCHISE

When the city council convenes
this evening it is likely that che war
being waged on the Welch Electric
lines in the city will be renewed and
that that body will re-lnstruct the
city attorney to bring suit in the
circuit court having for its object the
forfeiture of the company's fran
chise.
The city attorney as instructed to
bring such an action some time ago
but in view of the fact that the COM
pany gave evidences of complying
with the requirements of the charter
1t was never instituted The COM
pany promised to lay it's track on
Front street and also track of GER
tain prescribed sized rails on Sum-
mer street 1t was the understand
ing that the company was to take
over the Southern Pacific track on
Front but instead of doing that, it is
now laying it's track on the side Of
the street where a franchise has
been granted to the Oregon Electric.
The rails being laid on Summer
street are said to fall short of the
size prescribed, and this is another
grievance which will be urged
against the company at tonight's
meeting of the council.

COUNCIL WILL
NOT PASS The
ORDINANCE

After a thorough consideration of
an ordinance having for its object
the prescribing of the distance at
which barns, poultry yards and pig
pens might be built from residence
it was decided to not frame and pre-
sent it to the council this evening,
and unless it is decided that the city
has reached the stage where barns
and poultry yards and pig pens can
be abolished entirely from the resi-
dence district, no ordinance will be
presented at any future meeting on
the subject.
The plan under the ordinance
which was under consideration was
to limit the distance at which barns,
poultry yards and pig pens might be
built from a residence. The reason
for desiring to bring it into exist
ence was the fact that where i'll feel
ings existed between neighbors in
many cases, the one would take ad-
vantage of the other by erecting a
barn or a pen near the others resi-
dence. After the subject had been
thoroughly thrashed out 1t as de-
cided that such an ordinance would
be impracticable from the point of
enforcement, and that if the problem
is to be solved at all that general
ordinance forbidding barDS. poultry
yards, and pig pens within the resi-
dence district must be enacted.

superintendent Steiner reports the
most dangerous crisis in the supply
Of water at the state insane asylum
that has ever existed in the history
of that institution. The supply of
water at the big we'll is gradually
failing, and, instead of having about
10000 gallons per Gay for drinking
and culinary purposes, they are get
ting along with about one-half of
what they require. The long, hot
dry spell is affecting the supply, and.
otter bringing the matter before the
board. this morning, Superintendent
Steiner bought 20 tanks to install
water for drinking on the wards that
cannot be supplied from the well.
The state has some money and will
dig well at once at the state prs-
en- tc supply more for the asyluln.
But that will take 60 days or more,
and no one can tell how short the
supply will be before the summer is
over. The fact is all the state insti-
tutions, except the state prison,
which has a water power pumping
plant, are short on their supply of
drinking water. They have wells and
springs that are failing, and nothing
but a gravity system, fed by some
mountain stream will ever give them
an adequate supply. This has been
known for years, relief has been de-
manded by the legislature, and the
city has failed to act. Representa-

Hot in Portland.
The Oregonian this morning says:
Losing all regard for public COM
fort and showing his utter contempt
for the weather mans promise Of
cooler weather, the sun came out in
all its glory and sent sweltering
Portland gasping for shelter outside
the city.
From 8 o'clock until 5, the official
government thermometer stood at
81. The period from last Wednesday
to yesterday, Mr. Beals says, has
been hotter than any other five days
since 1888, and was only trifle cool
or than any like period since 1875.
The hot days of 1888 came between
July II and 81, when the following
maximum temperatures were record
ed: July II, 81 degrees; July 1S. SO
degrees; July 10, SO degrees; July
21, "a degrees. The record for the
present hot spell has been: July 12,

tive Brownhill's resolutions were
smothered in the last session, when
they only recited the cold, frozen
truth, and nothing but great calam-
ity will ever arouse the mossbacks
and obstructionists from their dan
gerous and criminal somnolence on
the subject of a suitable water sup
ply for the state capital and state in
stitutions.
The increase of the pure water
supply, so that it may be extended to
the penitentiary, and also to the state
fair grounds, is the plan of the state
board, and the members held a
meeting this afternoon to devise ways
and means to carry it into execution,
and also discussed with representa-
tives Of two filtering systems the
merits and the price of each.
The water used at the asylum and
the penitentiary for domestic pur-
poses, under the present plan, is
pumped from wells, and that used
for other purposes is obtained by
means of power system from Mill
creek. Recognizing the inadequacy
of the supply of pure water the last
Legislature appropriated $4,000 70
be used in digging more wells, and
the installation of water and filter
ing system.
The plan of the board is to Zig
enough wells so that the asylum and
penitentiary will not only be sup
piled, but also the fair grounds. The
water used at the fair grounds now
comes from Mill creek, and, because
of its impurity, it is feared that it
will spread disease, and that is the
reason the board desires to supply
that institution from the same source
as the other.
A representative of the filtering
system used in Oregon City appeared
before the board, and the other rep
resentative represented a system now
used in Chicago.

JURY SAYS He
is ESTOPPED
BY HIS ACTS

The case of Alfred Sparrow
against Chief of Police Hamilton was
heard Saturday afternoon in Justice
Webster's court, and the jury re-
turned a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff.
This suit was brought to Deplevin
a horse which was in the possession
of the chief. Sparrow, it seems, had
purchased the animal, and the chief
upon being advised by the owner
that it was stolen, took it into GUS
tody. He had purchased it from an
employee of the owner, and his at
torneys contended that the owner
had allowed his employee to so han
die the horse that the purchaser had
every reason to believe that he was
the owner. and that because of this
the owner was now estopped from
bringing an action to take the ami
NAL from Sparrow. The Jury held
their contention and returned a YER
dict directing the chief Of police to
turn the horse over to Sparrow.
The law firm of Kaiser & Pogue rep
resented the plaintiff.
