BAD CASE OF WANT.
Four Orphans Left to starve.

COuF OIpuaNs LOU 10 5LarVe.
A case of sad neglect and destitution
growing out of a fathers crime, was de-
veloped by the police yesterday afternoon.
A few days ago Ole Anderson, the one
armed Waterman at the Manitoba shops,
was arrested on the charge of stealing
tools from the workmen. Yesterday re-
port came to the city hall that his four
motherless children were alone and starv-
ing, and an investigation showed that
ever since the arrest of their father, the
children had been absolutely alone in the
shanty, with no care or nothing to eat.
The poor little ones were brought to the
city hall and their appearance indicated
that what their father may have been he
was at least watchful of their welfare.
There are two little girls and two boys,
the Oldest not over eight years Of age, and
they were all comfortably dressed,
When brought to the city hall they
gazed wonderingly around and, one little
mite of a girl pillowed her fazen head Oh
the wooden settee and fell fast asleep
Their mother has been dead over two
years, and they all present healthy ap
pearancs. City attorney Murray tool
them in charge and sent for Mr.. Ludder
of the board Of control. They will be
taken care of by the city until after THEN
father has had hearing, the latter being
now in jail.

TRANSPORTATION NOTES.
IMPORTANT ANNoUNCEME OFTEE
NORTHERN PACIFIC.
1t VIII withdraw From San Francisco
Eusiness-The Reasons Assigned fer the
Movement-A Variety of Railroad IN
formation of Interest.

CHICAGO, Nov. "a private disp atch
John Muir, general traffic manager of the
Northern Pacific in which he says: ''Tak-
ing effect yesterday we withdraw from
California business, and the southern lines
Withdraw from all business north of San
Francisco" No explanation OF reasons
for this action was given, but it is sup
posed 10 be the result of secret confer
ence among the passenger representatives
of roads in the Transcontinental associa-
ton at Topeka, during the
past three days, they having
failed to reach an agreement as to the di-
vision of the competitive territory at the
late Chicago meeting. Heretofore the
Northern Pacific has claimed the right TO
land passengers from the east at San
Francisco via Portland at the same rate
as other Pacific roads charged by direct
route, and other Pacific roads in turn
claimed the right to land eastern pasaen-
gers ct Portland via San Francisco at the
Same rate as charged by the Northern Pa
cifa. The new arrangement takes both
Portland and San Francisco out of compe-
tition, land leaves the trip between the two
points by the Oregon Steamship and Nay
igation line to be paid fer at local rates.
This arrangement applies to freight
traffic also. The Northern Pacific under
the new arrangement will carry all freight
for Portland and all points in the North
west, and the other Pacific coast lines will
carry to San francisco and adjacent ter
ritory. Whenever shipper chooses to
send freight to San Francisco via Port
land, or to Portland via San Francisco, the
local rates between those points must be
prepared. Freight now in transit is ex-
copied from this agreement.

the explosion was of such terrific nature
that she was thrown completely out of the

the face, hands and limbs. Meantime the
fire spread over the psrlor, where she was
