A BRACE OF BRUTEs.

Suffering Wives and Mothers Tell Piti!ul
Tales to the Police.
What with the groans of a man who
writhed on a cot with bullet-hole through
his body, the yells and curses of drunken
men in the cells, and the walls of women
who came to complain of their treatment
at the hands of brutal husbands, the CITY
Prison was last night perfect pandemo-
mum. One poor woman, who looked as
though life and spirit had been nearly
beaten cut of her poor, emaeiated BODY,
complained that her husband, Antoine
Vallas, after making her life miserable for
years by his brutalities, now threatened TO
take even what was left of that. She
swore out warrant, charging him with
threats against life, and, with her daughter,
remained at the Jail while an officer went
TO bring in the monster.
Before the warrant was ready to be
served another woman called on a similar
mission, and poured into the ears of
Judge Buckley, who happened to be pres
ent, sad story of the insults and bodily
injuries that had been inflicted upon her
by the man who, but a few years ago,
took her from comfortable home and
promised TO love, cherish and protect her.
She has, by renting rooms, managed to
support herself and children comfortably
and has several times set her husband up
in business. He was burned out of the
saloon business on Third street some time
ago, and most OF the time since then has
been on a spree. When in LIQUOR he
abuses his industrious wife and children,
and last night the former showed severe
wound on her forehead, where the brute
had injured her. She swore out warrant
for his arrest, saying that she had put off
doing SO as long as she could, to avoid the
disgrace, but she saw no hope of relief
from her torments and fears and bodily
sntferings, unless by resorting to the aid of
the law.

Particulars of the Disaster Which Befell
the Steamer Ancon.
PoRT TOWNSEND (W. 7. }, September 4th.
News has been received that the steamer
Ancon is total wreck. The steamer left
Port Townsend Monday. August u, 1889,
on her regular trip to Alaska, with about
one hundred cabin passengers and thirty
steerage passengers who with the officers
and crew, made an aggregate of about two
hundred persons on board. She was under
command of Captain David Wallace, with
Captain H. II. Lloyd as pilot and Robert J..
Hackley as Chief Engineer. The vessel
proceeded on her course, stopping ct Vic
torla, B. G. From there she proceeded on
her trip Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock,
without stopping until Thursday noon,
when she arrived at Tongas Narrows.
Wednesday, August 2Sth, the Ancon left
the wharf at Loring at A. NJ, and in going
out of the harbor she ran upon a reef of
rocks on the starboard side scarcely forty
rods from the starting place The tide,
which rises there some twenty feet, was
out, and by A. NJ. the vessel was far out of
water, so as to make 1t evident that she
was hopelessly wrecked.
About 6:30 A. NJ. the passengers began
quietly to leave the vessel in small boat
and were soon transferred to shore. with
dent. 1t was raining most of the morning
and they We're seeking shelter in various
little cabins, private houses and stores.
The officers of the Alaska Packing Com
pany near at hand were soon brought 10
consider the prospect and the probability of
a weeks detention before eny means of
rescue could be found or any intelligence
of the disaster be conveyed to ports to the
southwark.
BY O'Clock the steamer was high upon
the rocks on the starboard side and not
more than six or eight feet of water in
depth on the port side, then settling across
a point of rocks. The vessel soon broke in
the middle, and the water flooded into the
gaping open side of the vessel.
About 10 o'cl OK the crew, having
brought provisions ashore, soon prepared
breakfast for all, which was spread in the
boarding houses of the packing company.
There was at no time any panic. Most
of the passengers we're asleep at the time
the steamer ran on the reef but soon were
awakened and notified of the disaster. The
ladies behaved most admirably during the
trying circumstances and all cheerfully ac-
cepted the situation, with exclamations of
thankfulne-s to God for safe deliverance
from the perils of the morning so happily
escaped.
The passengers and crew of the Ancon
were brought to this port by the steamer
Elder day.
The steamship Ancon was owned by the
Pacific Steamship Company. She was
built in 1873, at San Francisco. Her gross
tonnage was $40; length, 267 breadth,
40; depth III. The steamer, it is generally
supposed, was insured. Her value is placed
at 100000. Her cargo consisted of $1,000
cases OF salmon, which was saved and re-
moved to the shore at Wrangle

The dual operation of digestion and as

A Scheme to Dam the Rio Grande River
for Irrigation Purposes.
WASHINGTON, September 4th-J. C. Pill
ing Acting Director of the Geological Sur
vey, has made report to the Secretary of
the Interior, of progress made during the
month of July in the survey for irrigation
and reclamation of arid lands in the West.
Under the topographic division the total
area surveyed was s, $50 square miles, oper-
ations being continued in California, Col
orado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico and
Nevada. In the hydraulic division, one
field party in California commenced a
thorough survey of Clear Lake, with view
to ascertain its capabilities as a reservoir
site and the best means of storing water
and applying it to the lands below its
JGtet. Donner Lake, near Truckee,
in the western Nevada section, is being
surveyed. 1t is thought that a large body
of water can be stored there, at very mod
crate cost. Work in the Rio Grande section
was confined to a careful survey of verv
large reservoir site which seems practicable,
by the construction of a dam in the Rio
Grande river, near FL PaSo This project,
the report says, is one of profound interest,
and perhaps will involve international
questions. Care should be taken to avoid
any action which would complicate such
questions, should they arise

PORTLAND, September 4th.-A fire broke
out this afternoon, but was confined in the
building in which it originated. The build
ing destroyed was a two story frame, cover
ing $50 by 100 feet. 1t was owned by Lash
mutt IL Williams, and was occupied by
carriage repository owned by Mayer Van B.
de Lashmutt. The loss on the building is
$1,000, with no insurance. The carriage re-
pository carries stock worth $50 600. The
loss on the stock is $4,000, with no insur-
ance. The Narrow Gauge Saloon, in the
same building, owned by Thomas Weyer,
was damaged to the extent of $500. In the
Ciegler and his family Zeigler was Sleep
ing off drunk and had narrow escape,
being carried out by the firemen Zeigler's
loss is $500; insurance, $500. The fire is
supposed to have been the work of an in
cendiary, as bloody row occurred in Zeig-
ler's apartments this morning between two
men over woman. One of the men was
badly hurt. The supposition is that the
building was fired out of revenge. At the
time of the fire a strong north wind was
blowing, and only the superb work of the
tre department prevented an extensive con-
hagration.

the foot of bluff at Twenty-ninth and
Diamond streets, insensible, and with bis
skull fractured. He was taken to the hos
pital. 1t is supposed that he attempted to
commit suicide. Some time ago Willie
Simpson, nephew of Swan, who is his
guardian, while playing with a parlor
rifle became careless and fired a shot,
wounding a Miss Morgan. To day Swan
learned that Miss Morgan had com
menced suit against him for twenty thou
saEd dollars for personal injuries inflicted
by young Simpson. 1t is thought that
this preyed upon Swans mind and that he
walked to the edge of the bluff and threw
himself to the bottom.
