sEATTLE's FIRST AND SUCCESSFUL EFFORT
To PROTECT HERSELF.
July II, 1873, number of indomita-
bic, philosophical citizens of Seattle
organized the Seattle x Walla Walla
railroad company. an ayowed object
of which was to build and operate a
line Of railroad between the tswns Of
Seattle and Walla Walla. OF course,
this was too big an undertaking for
the people Of one town OF 2000 inhabit-
ants to carry through, requiring, as it
would. the investment OF about ST.
000, 600, and involving the building of
a road 800 miles long. through a couR-
try not inhabited by over 5000 people.
IL served excellent purposes, however.
II diverted the peoples minds during
a time OF adversely, and il gave them
something to work upon. The orig
inal intention was never carried out,
but the efforts of the people finally
eliminated IN short piece of narrow
gauge road, that has since proved the
nucleus, around which other railroads
and other enterprises have thickly
gathered, accomplishing indirectly the
objects sought Is years ago. Had it
not been for that little company Sc
attic would to-day be a third-class
town OF not over 1000 people.

Japanese Earthquake.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 1s.-The steam
er City of Sydney, from Hong Kong and
Yokohama. which arrived this evening,
was expected to bring details of the earth
quake at KumamotO, the first news of
which was cabled from Yokohama July so.
One cablegram gave the loss of life at 5000,
while another stated that almost the entire
$4,000, was destroyed. Full details had not
been received when the City of Sydney left
Yokohama, but the newspapers of that city
of Aug. 2 indicate no such loss as given by
the cablegrams. Several late kilograms to
Yokohama gave the loss at twenty to thirty
killed. A Japan newspaper. Jill ShimpO,
says, however, that by a great earthquake
been rent. houses demolished and people
killed and wounded in the city, independent
of the surrounding villages. Another shock
has been felt, and the inhabitants are fear
full of further disaster. The people have
been seized with superstition on account of
the hills being broken open.

Carried OFF by Toy Balloons, She Is Brought
Down by a S~harp-Shooter.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-Little two-year-old
Sophie Schwab ~involuntarily became a
balloonist, to-day, and was waited high up
over the broad bosom of Lake Michigan.
A rifeman's skill saved the child's
life. The exciting incident took place at
Sheffield Park, and was witnessed
by $500 picnickers. An Italian peddler of
toy balloons attempted to serve two pur-
chasers at once, and in doing so let go
his string of bright-colored globes.
The cord got twisted about Sophie's left
arm and also in her hair. and the buoy
ant rubber bubbles started heavenward
taking the youthful a%eronaut along. So
phia's mother shrieked and tainted. The
b~ystanders stood borror-stricken, scarcely
breathing as the balloons swept close to q
large oak tree and the infant grasped
a handful of twigs and checked
her flight. A muscular young German
was ascending the tree in an instant. and
then crept out on the branch nearest the
child. At this moment Sophia's puny
strength gave out, and the balloons, sud-
denly released. went again upward at least
one hundred feet, drifting then out over
the lake. Gust Koch. a sharpshoOter, who
was attending the picnic. with his repeating
rifles hurriedly jumped into a skiff. with
two companions. and pulled out into range
Koch succeeded in piercing several of the
balloons. each successful shot helping the
bunch to descend. Before it finally reached
the water the boat was at the spot and
little Sophie did not even get her feet wet.

Suicide of q Thief with a History.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 1S.-A. Musser, at one
time a ~well-knOwn and respected citizen of
Brunswick, Mo-. to-day made a novel at
tempt at suicide. that will doubtless prove
successful. MusSer was arrested yesterday
afternoon at the Union Depot. charged with
the theft of numerous satchels. In three OF
the satchels were valuable papers. which
he hid in different parts of the city. To-
day, guarded by W officers, he was taken
ont to find the papers, and while passing a
cable road, he threw himself in front of a
passing train before the officers could re-
strain him, and sustained injuries that will
prove fatal. Musser was noted in Missouri
for a duel fought during war times with
Robert Hancock, a rival newspaper editor
at Brunswick. Mo. The formers revolver
missed fire, but he stood calmly in his DO
sitiOn while his antagonist shot at him
three times. Then. grasping the zane of
one of the seconds, he thrashed Hancock 80
severely thatthe O~n-lOOkers were obliged to
interfere. Until a few years ago Mr.. Mnsser
was a well-knOwn contributor to a news
paper syndicate.

appropriation items before Congress.
Everybody was indignant. A court of
inquiry was held. Lieutenant Arnold was
among the officers examined and dismissed
from the force. The court was admittedly
a farce. 1t was repeatedly. gagged In the
theaters. Arnold was made the principal
scape-goat. His suit against Major Walker
is still pending. For four years the Lieu
tenant has persistently worked for vindi-
cation. An affidavit of q prominent police
official of that period which. 1T is repre-
scented. would have smirched several of Mr..
Cleveland's app0intees. If it bad seen the
light. was to have been shown TO President
Harrison. but it is believed to have gone no
further than Private Secretary HalfOrd's
desk. He advised that nothing should be
done, as the official most concerned was
soon to be dismissed.
Senator Ingalls, wGs quoted soon after as
believing that the whole police scandal was
started in order to divert public attention
from the carvings on of the Massachusetts,
avenue extension syndicate, and so to shield
President Cleveland and other high-up DEM
ocrats from the lime light of investigation.
Within a few days Lieutenant Arnold has
been made q city official by Commissioner
Douglass and Hine, against the known OPP
position of Major Raymond, their engineer
associate.
To-day the District Commissioners talked
out about one another. Major Raymond
wanted to be put on record as protesting
against the appointment. His idea was
that Arnold. at least, had made false official
statements. He had signed q paper exoner-
ating Major Walker from all blame in the
police scandal. Commissioner Douglass re-
piled that the Lieutenant had done It under
a Misrepresentation that no order was given
to watch members of Congress with a view
to influencing legislation, though he might
have known of an intimstion to do 1t. Com
missioner Hine replied to Major Raymond's
protest by saying that if he had had a
chance to make objection and had found
himself hopelessly in the minority he would
keep still about it.
This exhibition of feeling has led many
to the belief that q volcano has been
smoldering for four years and is just now
ready to break out.
