Horrible State OF Affairs.

ST.. LOUIS, March ia report saws
startling developements have been brought
to light at Coal Hill, one Of the mining
towns where the mines are worked by con.
vict labor, near Fort Smith, Arkansas. a
negro convict by the name of Williams
was hogged to death, and further inquiry
developed the fact that Moses Harvey. a
white man, thirty-flve years of age, had
been kicked to death by fellow convict
who had been urged on to the desperate
deed by Warden Grahord, and it was
learned he was in the habit of making
prisoners fight. The body of Mark Elder
was exhumed and bruises and gashes on
the body Indicated violent death. 1t Is
also developed that a prisoner by the
name of Hammell was tied up to post
in the mines last Summer and beaten to
death. As tho investigation continues
more horrible details are revealed and citi.
zens OF Coal Hill are excited and threaten
to hang GrafTord and tear down the prison
barracks.

Sad DEATH,

Yesterday morning Mrs. Emma Jor-
dan of Post Falls, died in this city at
the house of Mrs. Frank Aiken undor
circumstances peculiarly sad. The
deceased was only Twenty-Five years
of age and had been married but two
years. She was of a bright, attractive
disposition which made her univer-
sal fayorite among those who had met
her during her brief visits to this city.
About year ago she first became
aware that she was afflicted with tn
NOR in the stomach. She grew rapid
ly worse and few days ago decided to
submit to an operation which was
performed last Saturday morning at
Mr.. Aiken's house, five of the leading
surgeons of the city assisting. Mrs.
Jordan was very hopeful and the doc
tors were of the opinion she might be
saved. When, however, an incision
had been made they found that the
tumor extended nearly around the
body and had grown to the entrails in
such way that it was impossible to
remove more than n portion of it.
This discovery was death blow to
their hopes for it at once became evi-
dent, that even il the unfortunate
woman rallied from the shock Of the
operation, certain death would still be
hanging over her, and it was only n
question af few months before the
end would come. They did the best
they could, however, under the cir
cumstances. When the patient came
out of the sleep in which she had
been put during the operation, she
was still cheerful and hoped to recov-
er. She was kepttup on opiates till
Monday night, when all hope was CIV
ell up, and she was informed that she
must die. She heard the announce
ment without fear, but could not bear
the thought of leaving her husband
and relatives and made hard strug-
gle for life, but the end came yesterday
morning ut half past eight. The re-
mains are to be taken back to Post
Falls for burial.
The surgeons who performed the op-
Grafton state that it was II remarkable
case and one of the worst that had
ever come under their observation. If
the operation had not been performed
the woman might have lived for some
months, but her suflerings would have
increased and the end would have
been the same,

New Hotel,

Spokane is already famous for her
fine hotels, but owing to the large
number of arrivals, the present hotels
have not adequate accommodations
Realizing this fact several prominent
citizens are soon to put up another
structure, which will be known as the
"Steam Boat" hotel. The location of
the proposed building is to be on the
corner OF Division and Front streets,
clsse kby the motor line and only u
few steps from the starting point of
the steamer which is to navigate the
river. The building is to be of wood
with u fronting OF $50 feet on both
streets, and the plans which are on
exhibition ia the Office of II. Sackville
Treherne, in the Falls City block, in
dictate that it will be very handsome
addition to the city. Messrs. Dance,
Treherne and Marshall are at the head
of the venture and as soon as they
secure one other partner will begin
the construction of the building. 1t
lie thought that being close by the
hospital it will be convenient to parties
who have friends in that institution
and wish to be near them. 1t will
add two hundred rooms to the accom-
modations for guests at present pos
sessed by the city.

Held as PriSonors,

SAN Francisco, March l2.-Word was re-
ceived here to-day from the agent of Wells
Fargo Il Co., at El Paso, Texas, to the ef.
feet that United States Marshal Meade, OF
Arizona, who was arrested by Mexican au.
thorities at Janos, State OF chihuahua was
reported to have been released from custo-
day Saturday. 1t Is stated that arms of
Meade and party we're taken from them
and they were allowed to walk about the
town but not to leave it. 1t is understood
that Meade and party were not arrested be-
cause they were In pursuit of STEMS pass
train robbers but because they went into
Mexico with horses and arms without be-
ing examined by Mexican custom authori-
ties. The charge against them is smuggling.
1t is understood Coy. Corillo, of Chihua-
hua, had promised to assist in every way
possible any United States officer i'm pur-
suit of robbers If he should present the
proper papers. He will lay the whole af-
fair before the general governor at the City
ofMexico.

Bad Fall.

Yesterday morning James Monahnn
and Albert Doane were engaged in
painting the new frame building mex
to the N. r. stables, on Sprague street.
They rugged up ladder to act as a
swinging staging and raised it to D.
height OF fifteen or twenty feet above
the ground. Monahan went up to
secu4e it to the roof with graphing
irons, and was just walking along it to
get his pot cf paint when large iron
hook by which one end Of the stage
was supported broke, and Mr.. Mona
han and the ladder fell to the ground
together, followed by the heavy grap-
pling iron which alighted upon the
mans head, in flicting severe cash.
Mr.. Doane, who was standing be-
meath, was knocked down and would
have been seriously injured if il had
not happened that his head passed be-
tween the rounds OF the falling ladder.
Monahan was badly shaken up and
may have received more severe injuries
than is ut present thought.
An examination of the broken hook
disclosed flaw in the iron. 1t was
one which they had used for long
time, but few days ago it got bent
and they took it to blacksmith to
straighten it. This process probably
weakened it and caused the accident.

A PLEA FOR AN EXPLOSIVE.

To THE REvIEw-In your issue OF
Saturday an article under the head
ing of Reckless Folly" the following
occurs.
"a gentleman claiming to be
thoroughly acquainted with the COM
position and effects of the explosive
informs reporter that right here in
this city the stuff is being handled
with criminal negligence. For in
stance, he states that he has seen men
take off the paper wrapper around n
stick of powder and throw it away To
blow around the streets, although =
slight concussion would cause il TO ex
plode. The powder is made of mix
ture OF nitro-glycerine and sawdust,
and the glycerine saturates the parer
to such an extent that rocks can often
be blasted with tho wrappings."
How anyone, protesting to know
anything about dynamite, whether in
the form Of Giant, Hercules, or any
other brand OF powder, could make
such a statement, is sur
prising. 1t is strange, however,
that there are 30 many
, 1888-03-15

experts in this town who know all
about how to Use giant powder so that
it is at all times safe.
Any one asserting that the wrappers
around giant powder contain any ex-
plosive qualities does not know what
he is talking about. The only SUBJ
stance seen upon the paper is what is
known as Chinese tallow, with which
it is saturated. to render it air and
water tight as near as possible.
And again il is wonderful how terri
BILE the harmless paper becomes when
it blows around the streets, to be ex.
ploded by n slight conclusion"
In shipping dynamite it is handled
almost as carelessly as any other
freight, is hauled in wagons over
rough mountain roads, and has been
known to pass through railroad col
lisions repeatedly without exploding.
1t requires u cap of several hundred
pounds power to explode it in blasting,
and the statement that rock can be
blasted with the paper alone is sheer
nonsense.
The writer having heard it
said that the paper contained
large per cent Of explosive
matter, has tested it by affixing
a blasting cap to bunch of the paper
taken from the powder and exploding
it, and can positively state that the
paper does not explode anG could not
unless there should possibly be powder
adhering to it, The night after the
fatal explosion ON Main street, it was
amusing to hear blizzard sufferers with
Minnesota and Dakota real estate and
hay seed still conspicuously visible
upon their persons, discussing the ac-
cident, and telling how "joint" powder
should be used.
Possibly the individual who was tell
ing the REVIEW reporter all about tho
"terrible" and dangerous "wrappings"
was one of them. In conclusion will
say that believe l have had as much
experience i'm handling giant, hercules
and other brands of dynamite, both
! in mines and railroad tunnels, as the
average man, and that in every in
stance of premature explosions Of
which l have personal knowledge,
they have been caused by heating the
powder too suddenly and rapidly whilst
in CONCEALED state, unless as in some
cases the cap played part in the ex-
plosion.
The item which appeared in the
REVIEW few days ago in regard to
O'Brien exploding a small piece Of
powder by striking it with his foot was
u mistake, although authorized by
O'Brien, perhaps, to make the state
ment. Men who were present claim
that OBrien had fuse and cap at
tached to a small piece of powder and
| was holding it carelessly over the fire
when the cap exploded and the pow
der promptly followed suit as natural
| consequence.
Dynamite is the friend Of the miner.
Without it mining in its present state
| Of advancement could not be prose-
cuted. 1t is slumbering giant, az
harmless as the dirt under our feet
when properly handled, but which
responds nobly and impetuously ut
the bidding OF its master.

The report of the health officer is a
document deserving careful considera-
aion. The facts set forth in the report
provel conclusively that Spokane
Falls is as healthy us any city OF its
size in the country, and gives the lie
to the statements that have been
made by outside papers to the effect
that deaths were occurring here in
large numbers every day. The city is
not now as healthy as it will be when
all the proposed sanitary measures are
carried into effect. When the pro.
posed cleaning up is finished, sickness
OF fatal character will be SO rare that
Spokane Falls will be health resort
for all the balance of the northwest.

DECLINES THE HONOR.
KANE FALLS, March 10, 1855.

EDITOR MORNING REVIEW: Dear
Sir Referring to an article In your
Wednesday morning issue, suggesting
m name for the Office OF mayor of
Spokane Falls, wish TO say that while
gratefully recognize tie compliment
and the honor intended by the writer,
the circumstances are such that il
would he impossible for me 10 enter
into the field az II candidate. My pro-
fession requires my absence from the
city frequently, u thing incompatible
with the duties of the Office. may
say, however, that while ! cannot
leave my fellow citizens in the capicity
suggested, 1 shall hereafter, Az in the
past, consider it not only duty but
very great satisfaction to do ull
things in my power to advance the
interest and development of Spokane
Falls. Indeed, may say that in my
capicity as a railroad man, can in
the line of my profession do far more
for the City and its interests than /
could possibly do in the roll of its
chief executive office, assuming that
| would successfully run the race, II
question which is not settled in my
mind by any means, in the light OF
the fact, that my close application to
my business, has prevented my max
ing the acquaintance of the very large
number of people added to the popu-
lation OF the City during the past year
Very Respectfully Yours,

Mr.. j. L. Flynn, OF Seattle, at pres
ent in the Falls City, is authority for
the statement of the eastern extension
Of the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern
road will be commenced in the vicin-
ity of Spokane Falls within three
months. He claims, and very sensi-
bly, too, that within three years the
Falls City will have the choice of
these routes to the Sound, embracing
the Northern Canadian and Lake
Shore roads thus afiording cheap and
rapid transit TO the ocean market,
which means dollars and cents in the
pockets of the producers and manu-
facturers of Spokane county. Two
out OF the three roads named will ter
inmate at Seattle, thereby creating
close commercial relationship between
the Falls and Queen cities, which cam
not fail to prove advantageous to
both. Mr.. Flynn, who has just re-
turned from an extended advertising
tour through southern and Lower
California says that the Spokane and
Seattle boom is Just in its infancy. He
predicts that the progress OF Seattle
and Spokane Falls during the next
three years will even surpass in mag

ing to have the free delivery estab.-
lishd in this place. As the office is do
ing all the business required for the
free delivery system 1T is possible the
department. may send out an agent to
arrange for the delivery and in that
case the houses should be numbered
TO facilitate delivery. Indeed it is
doubtful if the system will be intro
duced unless the houses are numbered.
An ordinance was passed by the city
council requiring the houses TO be

timely act il property owners would
proceed at once carrying out the spir-

bering be done before the special agent

RPOatal Inspector MASON HAS re-
turned from IN investigation OF the
:. postotfice difficulty at Spokane Falls.
The reports concerning the inefiicen-
cyof the service ut that place the in
speotor found to be much exaggerated
there being four clerks employed in
the Office, all but one OF whom have
returned to work. The trouble was
the outgrowth OF IL telegram from
Washington stating that before the
funds to pny off the employees could
be sont, it would be necessary tc for
ward vouchers, thus leaving an i'm
preston that no money would he re-
ceived. 1t is not probable that tur-
ther difficulty will result.
The above item appeared in the
Portland News of Saturday and the
tone OF the statement accredited to
Mason causes those who met the indi-
yidual during his visit TO this city to
ask what manner OF man is this fel-
low Mason. We are charitable enougl,
nto believe that Mason said nothing OF
kthe kind to News reporter. If hedid
he simply stated what he knows to be
false. Mr.. Mason talked very differ
emily when he was in this city. He
knew that the clerks struck and fur
ther knew that the postmaster had
more to do than any single man WAS
able to accomplish. While here Mr..
Mason very strongly expressed his
views in regard to the very scurvy
treatment that the Office was receiv'
ing through the hands of the depart
ment II this is the kind OF under
lings that is connected with the ad-
minstratiop no wonder the affairs OF
the government are mismanagcd, and
If that is the kind OF report Mason
makes to headquarters no hope OF re-
lief can be expected this summer.
