A NATIONAL convention of Free Traders
and Revenue Reformers will meet in De-
troit tomorrow, which will be attended by
no less than four different schools of
thought, which are described as follows;
lone is the free traders pure and simple
(if that is the proper phrase; another IS IS
for what Secretary Evarts used to call
'freer' traders, who favor lower duties,
with the retention of more or less protec-
tion to American home industry; another
will be the so-called anti-mOnopolists; and
last, but by no means least, the politicians,
who care nothing for the doctrinaires, but
who are anxious to make capital for them
selves to be somehow utilized in the next
Presidential election"

ings, last years crops of wheat, corn
and several tons of hay, the loss
amounting to from $2,500 to $500.
The barn was large building 80 by 60
feet, in which was his wheat, $50 BUSH
els, about 700 bushels of corn and from
6 to 10 tons of hay. The fire occurred
about the middle of the afternoon.
1t originated from spark from the
steam thresher which was being used
in threshing out the two crops above
named. 1t caught in the roof of the
barn and was put out it was thought,
but flying shingle carried by the
high wind ignited in another place
and was famed into a flame beyond
their management. 1t was danger
GUS day for the use of a steamer, where
all precautions are carefully observed,
but the engine stood only far enough
from the barn for the thresher to sit in
side, while the wind blew the sparks
from an engine not carefully screened
directly to the barn. The thresher and
corn shelter belonging to Thos. Attix
were both burned, involving loss to
him of 5000. Mr.. jefferson had an in
surance of 5000 ON his barn which is
probably vitiated, both because he had
no permit from the Kent County Insur-
ance Company and because the engine
did not stand the requisite number OF
yards, 60, from the building.
Mr.. Jefferson is one of our yeung
and most industrious farmers, and
much sympathy is felt for him in his
sudden and heavy loss. His crop o.
wheat which is now heap of ashes
| was sold and tO he delivarod t0-daU
The loss of Mr.. Attix who made an in
vestiture of all his means in this engine
and threshers last year is relatively al
heavy as that sustained by Mr.. J. anC
calls for an equal amount sympathy

A Case of Mental Alteration.

n SH@SC VI
Our law officers have had case
before them the past week of perplex-
ing nature. Complaint was made be- |
fore Esquire Budd OH Saturday that
Jennifer S. Taylor, auctioneer and serv-
ing for several terms in the capacity of
Deputy Coroner, had made threats
against the life of young lady, Miss
Emma Messick, residing in the same
part of the town, and she appealed to
the law for personal protection. He
was accordingly taken before Esquire
Budd and after a hearing and i'll default
of $500 bail was taken by Constable
Weldon to Jail. The facts brought out
in the hearing indicate streak of in
sanity as affecting his purposes in re-
gard to Miss Messick while he is en-
tirely rational ON all other subjects
He has for sometime conceived the
singular idea that she possessed range
light machine (such we presume as are
now used to pilot the Delaware river
by the use of which two miles away
she could read the secrets Of his life,
what he had done in the past and
what he would do in the future, and
what was his special torment, this light
was turned on him the most of the
time. She would thus appear to him
sometimes in his room then suspended
in the air occasionally talking to him
and telling him things that were har-
rowing to his peace of mind until he
felt like ridding himself Of the object
that haunted him day and night, and
hence the threat to take her life. We
J do not hear that there was any cause
why she more than any one else should
have been selected for such strange
: halluciatiOn as she had bare speaking
, acquaintance with him. A few hours
after, Mrs. Taylor went down'to Dover
I and secured bail from influential friends
4 and Mr.. Taylor was back again or
Sunday. On Monday morning Miss
Messick went again to the officers, bu
y under the circumstances they cOulC
only advise her to leave her home anC
y the town.
Those who know the circumstance
and some of his hallucinations that con
/, cerned Mrs. Taylor herself, wonde
II that for the safety of all, he was no
l. allowed awhile in different scenes witt
Is the prospect and probability of thei
W soon passing away. He would hav
e been in very short time, in the usua
j. legal process, transferred to tn
70 almshouse where he would hav
Ig had the proper medical care and after
a ton. The people feel that the cours
le taken, as others have been involved
to is wrong one in so soon a restoratio
ia to liberty.

y. L. TEsLER's FIRST ADDITION To
TBE CITY OF SEATTLE.

Inc great rush for lots in this addi.
ton Il unprecedented. Over fifty of
them sold IN the last four weeks. They
are one mile east from the postoffice, on
the shortest and most direct route to
Lake Washington. Mill street extends
through the addition. TIN lots are
small farms by themselves. being GOxI25
feet IN siZe. They are situated on A
high plateau, overlooking the bay, and
IN the near future will undoubtedly be
right IN the heart of TIE Queen City
of the Pacific coast. These lots are
not offered for sale TO speculators for
cash. The plan is to give every man.
ne matter what his financial circum-
nnces, chance to secure a lot or
q block of land, that as '.time rolls
rounds he will have reason to rejoice
instead of weep over his purchase. Ii
he Is a specul.tor and pays cash down
for his purchase, we bind him to clear
and fence his lot or lots within a year.
Ii he Is a poor man, desirous Of secur-
lng home and saving rent, we give
him years chance for bis life, and if
he behaves himself well, makes good
neighbor, and especially if he clears
and improves his lot nicely, We give
him better chance. We prefer selling
lots TO this class of people on easy
terms, than to receive all cash in
hand. Our object is b increase and
multiply" homes and itnproyemeu It's,
that our census returns may show a
population of 10000 In 1884, 1000 in
1855, 10000 in 1892, and 100000 in 1896,
with corresponding wealth. There are
abundant resources in the lakes and
rivers. the hills and mountains, the
plains an / valleys behind US, and the
broad Pacific before as, TO warrant this
happy state of affairs. and they will be
properly utilized to this end by our
wide-awake citizens, and don you for
get it, If you do, you may lose the
chance To secure one of the finest,
largest and cheapest lots in the city.
irice 500 each for inside lots; $3.50
for corners. with $25 off for one corner
and two inside lots adjoining. Apply to
NJ. s. Booth. first door west of the post
Office, Seattle, Wash. Ter. Dec4 50.
'P. S.-No matter how sleepy a man
is when be comes to Seattle, within IF
teen minutes. to as many days, accord
ing to his intuition, he wakes up to the
truth of the situation, is seized with
that impulse which animates the masses,
and the next arrival cannot tell him
from one of the "oia settlers" SO enthu
siastie is he over our vast resources. our
central position and the certain great
ness of our city. His first move is to
purchase real estate; and history re-
cords the fact that the sooner he wakes
up and makes his purchase, the happier
he is; as every day adds to his wealth.
Ask any man you meet in Seattle If this
is not true"
