The New ROUTE. Mcesrs. Shattuck
and Taylor have just returned from an
inspection of the route for the proposed
line Of railroad from the Seattle coal
mine to intersect the s. & w. W. II. r.
near Renton, and they report favoraby
upon the project. They considered the
plan not only teasabIe, but one that will
result in eminent advantage to the COM
pany. The route is good and the grade
will be easy, the. chief obstacle in the
way being the heavy timber. The sur
veying party are now on the route, and
will soon have the lines surveyed. We
are informed that as soon as this branch
line is completed, the company will aban-
don the old route ria Lakes Washington
and Union and use the new road in thc
transportation of their freight.
BURGLARY.-The Jewelry store of Mr..
C1as. Nclher was robbed, last Monday

through pain of glass, which he broke
out. He was seen in the act of breaking
the glass by Mr. Osborne. who was pass

plaintiff, D. p. Jenkins for defendant, in
which was involved, among other ques-
tions, that of the proper manner of exc
cutting leases Of real estate under the laws
of this Territory, and as the decision is
of more than ordinary interest 10 our
readers, we give sufficient Of the case to
show the ruling of the court. In July,
1873, Samuel Tingley entered into a con-
tract and made lease of lis farm, being
part of the Swinomish flats, to Owen
Roland, for three years, to commence on
the first day Of last October. by the

The State Of Pennnsylvania in the
year Of its greatest triumph presents,
in striking contrast 70 its prominent
position and abundant wealth, a
criminal record almost unsurpassed
in the history of dark deeds on this
continent.
There are to-day no less than 25
men, all members of that terrible or
ganization-the "Mollie Maguires"-
confined in the prisons of the lining
counties awaiting trial for murder
To the rare tact adm ability of Detective
McParlan, of the Pinkerton force. act
ing under the support and counten-
ancc of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway and the Lehigh and VIII
kesbarre Coal Companies, is princi-
pally due the credit of ferreting out
the ringleaders among the ruffians,
and Of exposing deeds of horror suf-
ticicnt to pale the bravest cheek. Not
withstanding the solemn denuncia-
ton of the church and the vigi-
lance of the people, this society, more
horrible in its bloody schemes than
the darkest days of the Inquisition
has for the last fifteen years kept up
a veritable reign of terror. For a
man to accept the position Of mining
boss was almost certain death. and
within the brief space of three years
more than so murders have beer
committed in Schuylkill, Carbon, and
Luzerne counties by the tools of the
cowardly villains.
Determined efforts are now being
made to root out the entire gang, anf
the best legal talent has been engaged
to conduct the prosecutions. For tn.
honor of the Commonwealth and thu
country it is to be earnestly hoped ne
stone will be left nnturned to bring
them all to speedy and certain jus

Last night two men from Mt. Pleas.
ant, that city of churches, and the
Athens of the state, were in the city
taking in the sights, and occasionally
sampling the beer and wine. They
had a good time together, drank from
the same bottle, eat from the same
dish and retired to bed together at
the stock yards. This morning the
moneyed man of the concern awoke to
consciousness and to the fact that his
hair was pulling, that his partner was
gone and that he had been robbed.
Sometime during the night his peck

Iowa, and that its circulation is very
extensive in Wapcllo and adjoining
