by Telegraph 10 the Dlspstcn'l
CINCINNATI, February l3.-John
b. Mannix, a lawyer, and until recently
assignee Of the estate of Archbishop
Purcell. deceased, was arrested this
afternoon on warrants sworn out by
Peter Dryer, q creditor of the arch
bishop, in which charges are made OF
embezzling s350,0O0 Of the estate, and
perjury in making false statements IN
the Probate Court in connection with
his report. Mannix was taken before a
magistrate, who required bail in the sum
OSLO, 600, and this not being furnished,
the prisoner was lodged in the county
Jail. Some time ago an examination
into Mannix's management Of the al
fairs of the Archbishop's estate re-
vealed the fact that large sum had
been lost IN the purchase of stock which
afterwards deprecated in price. Man
nix was removed from his position by
the Probate Court at the conclusion OF
this examination.

FozrHwFsT FNrER7RIsE
ANACORTES FEBRUARY IS, 1886

The shooting of four persons by
the special constabIes, at Seattle,
last Sunday, according TO Monday 5
Daily Call, was an unprovoked at
tack by an armed body Of special
police, on an uIarmed and innocent
crowd of men, who had violated no
law. nor committed any outrage on
anybody. 1t appears that a large
number of working men assisted the
Cinnamon to get their effests TO the
wharf Of the Queen of tho Pacific,
raising money to ply their pas
sage, and inducing them 10 go by
that steamer which was to sail at
noon on that day. Passage was se-
cured for $50 OF the Celestlals, on
the Queen, who were placed aboard,
but several hundred remained, who
could not be taken by the Queen,
and were to 60 on the Elder the
Same evening. The mayor and
police determined to escort these
from the ocean wharfto Chinatown,
and on the march, encountered
large body Of men, and it was into
this crowd a volley was fired, with
the deplorable and fatal effect Of
killing four innocent men. Upon
whom the responsibility rests for
this act, said to be the only act Of
violence committed during the
whole day, has not yet transplred,
but according to the Call, the men
who fred the fatal shots are
guilty Of murder, and will be made
to suffer the penalties OF the law, if
the guilty parties can be found.

Failure to secure the daily mail
between Port Townsend, Anacortes
and Semihmoo, would be serious
blow to tho prosperity of Skagit,
Whatcom and San Juan counties.
These counties lie adjacent to the
British Columbia mainland, and are
completely separated from direct
COMMUNICATION and trade with that
province, on account of there being
no means or Observation-Disclosures
by mail, except by way of Victoria
and Port Townsend. This tedious
and roundabout service by The
present circuitous route may have
served q useful purpose when tho
country was bowling wilderness,
with OILY q few isolated setslers
scattered through It, but now, that
Tie land is nearly oil settled up on
both sides Of the boundary line, it
becomes a serious matter to tho set
tlsrs 10 be thus ,tieally cut off
from connection and trade with
their Sear neighbors across the
lise. The important cities OF
New sstminster, and Coal Har-
bor, with the trade Of the Frazer
river, and the Canadian Pacific rail-
way csntering in them, would afford
she nearest and most direct market
fer the settlers in San Juan, Skagit
end Whateom counties, and it was
hoped that the proposed daily mail
TO Ssmiahmoo would result IN di.
rect line Of steamers to Now West
minister and Burrard inlet, and af-
ford tho relief so long desired by
she settlers in tho region located
near to the boundary line. If
this important mail route, designated
- No. 43.O94 in the proposals for
bids published by the Post Office
Department, should fail to DO let, it
viii relsgate this whole region back
10 the present condition of non in
tercourse with british Columbia
for an indefinite period Of time,
and will be the most serious blow
that osn be conceived, to tho pros
perity of three Of the most imror-
tant counties in western WASH
ington. Large numbers now settled
hero will no doubt emigrete TO Oth-
er localities rather then remain
cooped up here longer, in a
locality that cannot secure mail and
steamboat connection with q great
trans-continental railway terminus,
located only thirty miles away.
Every settler residing within fifty
miles Of the boundary line should
address letters to our delegates In
Congress, and to the Second Assist
ant Post Master General. urging
the Importance of this mail route tt
the settlers il this locality.
