WHOOWNS THE ROAD?
Eastern Branch Of Seattle Line
Not Turned Over.
NORTHERN PACIFIC ASKS


SPOKANE FAILS, July 26.--It now devel-
ops that the Seattle, Lake Shore q Eastern
railroad has not been turned over to the
Northern Pacific. The old operating off,
Gals still hold the fort in the face of the
Northern's requirement Of q majority OF
the stock. In the absence of Saperinten-
dent Allen at Tacoma, Mr.. f. Harrison is
acting superintendent. During the abb
sence of the latter Saturday at Medical
Lake. so well-known railway man de-
clared yesterday. Superintendent Gilbert,
of the Idaho division of the Northern Pa
cifc, went to r NJ. Smith, chief clerk at
the union depot. and asked that the road
be turned over to the Northern Pacific be-
cause of its requirement of majority of
the stock. Mr.. Gilbert based his request
upon kilograms from Northern Pacific
these was from Superintendent Dickinson.
Smith replied that he had no instructions
from officers of the Seattle, Lake Shore d
make the transfer. He informed Mr.. GU
bert that If he merely wished to pass over
the line in his special car he would allow
him to do SO, but only as matter of court
esq, and that is how Mr.. Gilbert's car was
hauled out to Davenport.
mo transfer was made" said the Re
riews informant, land no inventory was
taken of the stock. At most the Northern
Pacific hes only obtained majority Of the
stock. and transfer will not be made until
the officials OF the road and the directors
have been removed, and that cannot be
done until meeting has been held"
Yesterday Mr.. Harrison received tele-
gram from President Durham, of the Sc
attic. Lake Shore & Eastern, from Seattle,
instructing HIM to retain possession. In
accordance with this he wired all the agents
along the line to warn all persons against
interfering with the property in any way.
Thus matters stand at present. There is
undoubtedly q misunderstanding some
where, but just where it is hard to say. The
Seattle, Lake Shore 4 Eastern own half the
stock in the union depot here. When the
road is acquired by the Northern, that
company will be in position tn make it
interesting for the Union Pacific in num-
Der of different ways.

FIRE IN TACOMA.
Large Sash and Door Factory and an
Old Mill DESTROYED.

Old Mill Destroyed.
TACOMA, July 28.-There seems to be no
clue to the origin of fire which broke out
about 2:30 o'clock this morning, near the
corner of Twenty-fourth and East d streets,
and in short time completely destroyed
the old sawmill of Snyder q Stevens,
which was partially dismantled and had not
been in operation fofesome time, and the
large sash, door and Notwithstanding mill
of Mr.. G. NJ. johnson. The night watch
man at the johnson mill claims to have
been eating his lunch when he first discov-
cred the fire, which, he says. was on the
outside of the mill. The members
of the fire department stationed at
hose house No. 4 seem to have been more
watchful than the Waterman, as they had
discovered the fire and were on their way
to it before the alarm was turned in. It
had then gained such Roadway. however,
that all that the entire department could
do was to confine it to the buildings above
mentioned, and keep the fierce flames from
destroying the Touring mill of Watson,
Odds q Co., and the mills, Office and lum-
Der of the Mount Tacoma Manufacturing
Company. By the most strenuous exer-
tons the firemen even saved Mr.. Johnson's
sawmill. which stands only few feet from
the ruins of the burned factory. The
buildings were erected in 1883.
Mr.. johnson employed about ninety men
and his payroll averaged about 5000 per
month. He was burned out once before
here in Tacoma and once before he came
here. His loss by this mornings fire is es-
timated at about $780, 900, on which he had
only So 900 insurance. A large number of
doors and windows and interior finishings
for the California, Wingate and other
br ildings were destroyed, and their COM
pletion will be considerably delayed on that
account. One of the contractors told your
correspondent today that he could get his
orders filled in Portland more promptly
and for less money than here. 6ut said that
The local firms were nearly alwayse given
the preference unless the difference in bids
was quite large.

WALLAcx, Idaho, July 26.-The pride OF
the Coeur d'Aienes lies in ashes. Fire
started in the Central hotel at s O'Clock
Sunday night. Ten minutes after the
water rupply gave out. In less than two
hours the entire business part OF the town.
consisting of eight or ten blocks. was wiped
out of existence. the loss in buildings and
property running nearly up to hall mill
ION.
An Italian named Antonio Demero was
burned to death while lying in druken
stupor in his brothers New State saloon.
His charred remains were found in small
poole of water behind the buildings.
The scene of devastation is awful. The
demon made clean sweep of the little
triangular fat between the bills on which
the town was situated.
SPOKANE FALLS, July 28.-Last nights
FIRE at Wallace. Idaho. in the Cmur
d'Alene mining district, almost anni-
Inflated the town. The ruin is complete.
Not q business house vas left standing.
The total loss is $4l2. 900. On this there is
only SIS, 600 insurance.
The FIRE started at o'clock In the Cen
trail hotel. and in two hours everything was
gone. The supply of water in the reser-
voir gave out after ten minutes work by
the firemen, and the town was left at the
mercy of the flames. Everything was
burned. many men losing even their coats.
Antonio De Morco was burned to death
in his brether's saloon.
Help is already pouring in from sur
rounding towns. Spokane Falls has sent
two carloads of provisions, Wardner 81 900,
MuIlan $500 and others smaller sums s.
G. Reed, owner of the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mines, sent q check for $500.
The work OF rebuilding has already be-
gun. Seventeen merchants came to Spok-
ane Falls tonight to order goods.
At one time today it looked as though
there would be lynching. A crowd of
roughs secured barrel of whisky and
drank about half of it. When citizen re-
monstrated with them they drew revolvers
and threatened to kill him. Angry citi-
zens rushed in and were about to seize the
roughs and hang the ring leaders, but
wiser counsel prevailed.
The burnt district covers about eight
blocks, the fire even reaching the sur
rounding hills and consuming part of the
residence portion of the town. Fire is still
raging in the timber on the surrounding
hills.
A vigilance committee has been organ
lied for the protection of property and
punishment of lawlessness, but has had no
occasion yet to act.
A large number of people passed last
night In the open air, but shelter has since
been provided. Brick buildings will take
the place Of those destroyed by the fire.

THE DOUBLE WORLDS FAIR.
Lake Front Exhibit-lt VIII Be Kept
Open Evenings.

Lake Front Exhibit-lt WIN Be Kept
Open Evenings.
CHICAGO, July 28.-In response TO a call
by the legislature for detailed statement
as to how they intend to divide the Worlds
fair between the two sites, the directors
have prepared very lengthy statement
They said that notwithstanding the dual
site. it must not be forgotten that the fair
will be an entirety. 1t is the intention of the
board. so far as it may be able to do SO,
to locate the agricultural and stock
exhibits In the same enclosure with the
machinery. state and such other exhibi-
tons as will render that portion of the ex-
position at least equal in general interest
and attractiveness rs the other portions of
the fair.
Concerning exhibits upon the lake front
the board contemplates placing there the
art building. which is designed to
be large structure, beautiful
in architectural design and finish.
Among the displays in it, besides art, will
be electrical plants. Turkish. Indian and
Egyptian villages, and like exhibits. OF
course, the report says it is quite impos-
sible for the board to do more than
generalize at the present time. One of the
reasons advanced for the use of the lake
front is the fact that the greater portion of
the business men, clerks and industrial
classes will find their time more
severely tasked in the care of visitors
from all over the world than at any other
period. Their opportunities for visiting
that part of the fairlying more remote from
the center of the city will not be all that
could be desired. and it is impracticable to
keep open in the evening buildings much
removed from the center. The lake front
can thus be all utilized in the evening.

Whitman County Woman Pours Oil Over

WALLA WALLA, July 2S.-Concerning the
death of Mrs. John Lane, whose body was
found in burning cabin near Whitman
station, later particulars go to show that
she deliberately set fire to her clothing and
was burned to a crisp without any attempt
to escape or alarm when the hot flames
reached her quivering flesh. At one time,
several years ago, during severe illness,
the deceased had threatened to take her
life. but it was said in rather joking man.
ner and no attention was given to the
threats. Near the door of the burned cabin
was found square moiasses can which had
contained oil, and which witnesses testified
they had never noticed on the premises be-
fore. There is no doubt but she drenched
herself with the kerosene and set fire to it.

Up the British Empire.
New YORK, July 2S.-James Mooney,
the dynamiter was drowned in the surf
at Far Rockaway on Sunday. Mooney
attained his greatest public notoriety a few
years ago by attempting to blow up the
British steamship Queen while she was
at wharf in North river. Mooney was
sent to q lunatic asylum. He was recently
released on certificates OF physicians. Since
then he has been engaged as book can
vasser. He was in needy circumstances

with suicidal intent or accidental.

cerned in the Clerkenwell and other
dynamite explosions which terrorized Lon
don some years ago. He was a man of
fine education. and at one time was secre-
tary of the Irish National Land League.
