NEWSPAPER PLUCK.

The pluck Of the newspaper publisher is
best eXemplifed when he is put to it to
issue his paper en- time, Notwithstanding
the destruction Of his mechanical plant.
The Seattle Post Intelligence. the other day
proved to what extent the courage Of the
publisher will carry him in order to have
his paper appear on time. All things else
may stop; the merchant take days and
weeks 10 resume business; the artisan
months to restock his shop and set up ma
chinery; but the newspaper man almost
invariably refuses 10 be DELAYED. 1t must
be calamity likethat which befell Johns
town to knock him out completely. The
PoSt-iateHiga,cer appeared ON time the
morning after the fire, though its office
was destroyed. All it managed TO save
would not fit out an ordinary amateur
printer, but the paper came out neverthe-
less, though of course reduced in size and
very limited in topographic graces. 1t
said of itself
The difficulties of getting out even so small a
sheet as this, which we print this morning viii
be understood when il is known that not a
single power printing press escaped the fames
Two little job presses worked by foot power,
with cases Of type hastily carried out 10 place
Of safety, make up the whole mechanical re-
source of the city in the matter OF printing ma.
icrisls. The little sheet which we present this
morning is the very best thing possible under
the circumstances, and small rs It is ii repre-
Sents more effort than any body uuaeQuainted
with the practical op; rations of u newspaper
office can well appreciate.
In the Seattle fire the conhagration be-
gan in the afternoon early, and the news
paper therefore had the night in which to
pull itself together and make ready some
sort of an issue on the morning of the next
day. In the case of the destruction of the
city of Sacramento, in November, 1852, the
Sacramento daily record-union., 1889-06-17

fire broke out little after II o'clock at
night, and while the printers upon the
Onion were preparing the paper for the
next morning. The flames spread with
such rapidity, and were so wide in their
sweep, that the compositors and attaches
had time to save only little material,
comparatively, for the Office was large and
well stocked. A solitary and very diminu-
tive job-press was rescued, but not in
condition to enable a paper to be printed
on it in time for the next morning. The
fire occurred Tuesday night and Thursday
morning the Union appeared in form
little larger than letter sheet, and printed
upon but two sides. But it was a very
complete newspaper for all that, and the
sheet looks as well to-day as many of the
regular issues of pretentious papers. 1t
was forced to adhere to the letter-sheet
form and the two pages-two being left
blank-but two days. After that it was a
four-page letter-sheet paper for seven days.
1t then appeared in nearly its original size
for three weeks, when, December 18th, it
resumed its old proportions. At that time
type and other printing material were not
so easily procurabIe as now; indeed the
supply was very limited 10 the State.

saw, so he says, a wonderful and beautiful
mirage on the hot, alkali plains east of
town. The Sacramento river seemed to be
running through the clouds, and steamer
and barge appeared to be floating through
the atmosphere. The mirage lasted but
few minutes at time. and once he could
see the State Capitol and portion of Sac
ramento reflected in the sky. The mirage
was not always perfect, as fleecy clouds
dotted the heavens, On warm summer
days mirage is always visiblein the locality
named, and vehicle passing at distance
of two or three miles appears to be floating
in the air; but the mirage of Saturday
seems to have outdone all previous efforts.

OUR dispatches this morning contain
news of an important character concerning
the Cronin case. Woodruff, the man who
drove the wagon in which Cronin's mutil-
ated remains were transferred to the spot
where they were found by the police, is
reported as having confessed fully. The
confession of an accomplice is valueless
unless it is supported by corroborative
evidence. This may, be circumstantial or
direct, and it must be of character free
from suspicion of collusion with anyone
by the party confessing, to tell story that
will fit into previously known facts that
have been made public At this writing
not enough of the confession has come to
hand to justify expression of opinion that
it positively fixes the murder upon any
one. But enough is at hand to justify the
belief that the truth will now be arrived
at 1t is significant that this man Wood
ruff was a member of the Clan-na-Gael,
and prior to that of the Fenian organiza-
ton, and that he was concerned in the
Fenian raid upon Canada many years ago.
1t would seem, also, that Woodruf's state
ment fixes the identity of the man Mel
vile and establishes that he and Maronev
are one, and that he is one of the men
under arrest in New York and whose pho
tograph the landlady of the cottage where
Cronin was murdered recognized as the
portrait of the man who rented the build
ing from her. The statement of Wood
ruff certainly makes the case look darker
for Alexander Sullivan.
Later advices show that Woodruff is
very contradictory in his statement, and
that he has lied several times. But it is
also true that his revelations have led to
several important disclosures, and that
much that is now known to be true has
been developed under the statements of
this involved witness.

Captain Dalton says the slough opens
into the river, and that he had no difficulty
IN sailing up its waters for several miles in
his launch. In the nets captured were
Young salmon, shad, perch and one striped
bass. Most of the fishes were dead when
the nets were taken up. The Captain
thinks the men were perhaps not inten-
uonal law breakers, but there is great

NOTE AND COMMENT,

When TteDlis was started few weeks
since it was complimented by the RECORD
UNION on the announcement that it would
be fair, truthful and decent journal. The
first two or three numbers warranted the
conclusion that the promise of the publish
ers would be kept. We wish to recall our
commentator, however, since the bsntling
already stoops to willful Misrepresentation
and sneaking innuendo. We will enter
into no controversy with journal that
totally ignores the truth in its columns.

IT is said that America has attained all
that was desired in the Somoan agreement,
notwithstanding our concession that Ger
many may collect indemnity from Mataafa.
1t is probable that the damages conceded
are merely nominal, just enough to salve
the pride of Germany. We know that
they cannot be great, because Mataafa has
little, in the first place, and in the second
place, if they were large, it would be
equivalent to giving to Germany the right
to seize the islands and enforce payment.
We think the country can trust to the ad-
ministration of the President in this mat
ter, and to repose confidence in him that
he has not consented to any injustice be-
ing done to the islanders.

TWO BRAVE SAILORS.
Dashing Through Ring of Fire
to Save the Lives of French

Dashing Through Ring of Fire
to Save the Lives of French
men.
Philadelphia Press
In the year 1872 a French vessel,
called Melamie, was lying at anchor at
the mouth of the River AdOur, waiting
for fair weather to cross the bar which
separates the Port of BayOnne from the
Bay of Bisbay. She was loaded with
500 barrels of petroleum, which, just as
the crew were turning in for the night,
suddenly eX pl0ded. The ship was soon
surrounded by belt of floating fire.
The nearest vessel at the time was a
British brig, the Anna Belle Clark,
Sharpe. knowing there were some
French sailors in the midst of the
flames, shouted to one of his crew, John
Mcintosh:
"Come on, my lad! Let US go to their
rescue"
Without moments hesitation these
men launched the dingy, and in few
minutes were alongside the blazing YES
sci. In this short interval what re-
manned of the standing gear of the
Melaime had become one blazing mass
of flames. Nothing daunted. the Brit
ish sailors. with the certainty Of III
curing the greatest physical suffering,
if not the loss of their lives, dashed
through the floating circle of fire. and
laid hold of the rigging of the burn
ing ship. They succeeded in taking off
two men insuch helpless state from
burns and bruises that they could not
possibly have been saved had their
rescue been delayed much longer. In
the performance of this heroic act the
Englishmen were more terribly burned
than the men they rescued. 1t was
first feared that Capt. Sharpe would
lose the sight of one eye, and his face
was permanently disfigured. Mcintosh
Jared still worse: so severe were his in
juries that his discharge from the ship
was absolutely necessary. He was con-
veyed TO the BayOnne hospital, where
he lay for nearly month. at times In
the greatest suffering. TO show their
appreciation of this act of herOism the
British community raised sum of $50
for tie two heroes.
