TROUBLE IN \ NEW STATE.
The City of Spokane and the County of
Spokane at War.

SPOKANE FALLS, WASH, June "a
serious collision occurred yesterday be-
tween the authorities OF Spokane county
and the city of Spokane Falls.
There is rivalry existing between the
Spokane Street Railway Company and the
City Park Transit Company, both wanting
TO lay tracks on Division street for an elec-
trio and cable line. The Street Railway
Company has its line in position, and the
CITY Council ordered the track to be torn
up in five days, the limit expiring
at midnight As a precautionary measure,
the company has scored an injunction
from the Supreme Court to prevent the
city authorities from interfering with the
tracks. At o'clock yesterday morning
the work Of demolition began. Acting
MavOr Davidson, Sheriff Hitchliff and
other city and county officials were present.
The Sheriff and his deputies arrested the
Mayor Superintendent of Streets and
Captain of Police Martin, They gave
bonds and returned to the scene, found Il
large force relaying the track. The
police order them 10 desist, and ar
rested all who refused, and sub
sequently took the Sheriff and his
deputies into his custody. State war
rants were then issued for the arrest of all
the members Of the City Council and the
entire police force, about siXty-five men.
This disqualified the policemen, and force
of special policemen was sworn in. Upon
the order Of Judge Kennard, of the Supe-
rior Court, 2jO deputy sheriffs were then
sworn in. The local militia regiment is at
the encampment, near Tacoma, 400 miles
away. There has been no bloodshed so far,
but bitter feeling exists, and grave fears
are entertained that a personal conflict
may occur

THE JURY SAID 1T WAS SUICIDE.
A Man Arrested for Murder Committed
Five Years Ago.

New York, June 25.-Michail Lumm
and Philip Greiner were committed to
Jail in Hudson County, n. j., yester-
day. the former for murder and the lat
ter as witness.
John Jenne was found dead five years
ago, between Union Hill and Gutten-
berg. He had been shot through the
heart. The bullet was found to be from
his own revolver. No reason was found
for suicide, although the jury rendered
such Il verdict.
Jennc was n watchman ut the ice
house of brewery. There had been
complaint that scavengerS had used the
road as dumping ground and Jenne
was instructed to stop it In the vicinity
OF the ice house.
A Scavengcr named Schneider called
on Chief of Police Schwartz, OF Union
Hill, on Monday, and Informed him that
Jennc was murdered by Lumm. Two
carts drove to the ice house on the night
of the murder, and were making pre-
parations TO unload. Jenne interfered
and quarrel cnsued between him and
Lumm. The watchman drew his re-
vOlver, and during the wrestle Lumm
secured the pistol and inflicted the fatal
wound.
A few days ago Lumm and Greincr
quarreled, and the latter went to work
for Schneider and told how Jenne met
his death. Grencr said that he did not
witness the fight, but that Lumm de-
scribed the quarrel To him.

BEYOND POLICE CONTROL.
Rapid Increase of Opium Smoking in the
Metropolis.

New YORK, June 25.-The rapidity with
which opium smoking has increased OF late
i'm New York has attracted the attention OF
the police.
Exposures are numerous, but they are III
the main Ineffective This is due to new
scheme which has been adopted by the
keepers of the opium joints. They have
invaded the cheap apartment houses, ana
they are the most difficult to capture of the
law breakers in this city.
All through the closely populated dis
triCts in New York there are apartment
houses where the flats are rented at rates
VARYING from Sl5 TO $50 month. Anybody
can hire one of these flats by paying in ad-
vance. If they are furnished the charge is
from $40 10 $l5 month more As rule
keepers of opium joints are not avaricious.
The police say that they are the only Grim
inals who are not actuated by desire Tor
gain If they can make enough to keep
alive and buy the opium that is all they
ask.
DEvery keeper of these joints in fiat houses
has u special run of customers and friends
who 90 to the fiat to smoke. If the smokers
suspect that the police are watching them
they select new apartment, tell their
friends of the change of address, and
move out over night. In this way the
vice is distributed throughout the cheaper
apartment houses OF the city, and new vic
tins are left in nearly every place. The
employment of female detectives has been
successful in measure, but the authori-
ties admit that the prevalence OF opium
smoking in New York is growing rapidly
and is already beyond police control.

TEAR UP GREAT STRETCHES OF TERRITORY IN

Lightning and Thunder Terrible and lncssSant.
Bridges Carried Away-PeOpls Take 10 the
Hills for Safety-HundredsOf Heads
o. Drowned Cattle

DUBUQUE, Ia, June 25.-An electri-
cal storm struck Dubuque yesterday
morning. Two inches of rain fell in
two hours and the wind blew forty miles
an hour in town, while on the hills the
velocity was much greater.
The lightning and thunder were ter
rible and inceSsant. Many families
sought refuge in cellars, fearing a cy-
clone.
In Rockdale Valley, south Of the city,
the flood carried away bridges and
drove people to the hills for safety. AT
Thompson's mill drowned cattle and
horses were swept through the first
story windows OF residence, and the
family sought refuge in the hills.
The bridge at Washington Mil, or
the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
Railroad, went down with a crash. On
the Illinois Central two bridges were
washed away between Dubuque and
Julien, and 700 feet Of track was washed
out near Farley. The Chicago, st. Paul
and Kansas City was washed cut for 30
miles west and north OF Dubuque.
In this city the damage was great.
Many houses in the upper part Of town
are flooded with water The damage
done in this county is estimated at over
500. 600.

REACHED THE COAL LINE
But No Prospects of Finding the Entomb-
ed Miners.

DUNBAR, Pa, June 25.-A writer on the
Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph says; The
coal line has been reached.
At 10 o'clock this morning 10 feet of coal
had been mined. Drills are going, and In
spector Evans has ordered longer one.
1t is expected that the men will be
through in few hours. There are about
60 feet of coal to go through, and the rate
of speed is from six TO ten feet an hour.
The visit of Secretary Robert Watchorn,
of the Miners Union, has most effectually
quashed the kicking of the outsiders who
have been so free in their criticisms OF the
manner in which the work was being done.
Col. Kerfoot, the District Master Work
man, has rescinded the order calling for a
close down Of the region and convention
at Scottdale to-day. No one will hear any
more kicking from the men who have
STOOD on THE OUTSIDE,
with their hands in their pockets, while
their comrades were inside doing all that
could be done by men.
At noon there had been no definite change.
Mr.. Hazard, at that hour, told me that he
thought the men would not get through the
coal before early TO morrow morning.
The survey shows that by the line they
are following they have GO feet TO travel.
lney can 20 NJ lne TdLc Ol lOur 10 SlA iStl
an hour Every foot advanced is with the
greatest care and caution. Too many lives
are at stake to make false move.
THE LATEST FROM THE SCENE.
Still digging away are the miners tC
reach their imprisoned comrades. They
are 80 feet beneath the hill, and nearly one
mile from the mouth of the pit They are
still working in the hardest kind of 'gob, y
and are steadily approaching the point SO
long aimed for. The fall in which the men
are working is of the hardest kind As
Secretary Watchorn expressed it could moi
be more solid if some ponderous machinery
had been used to pound and crush it TO
gether When the men will be reached is
still question on which everyone is at sea
1t may be tomorrow, and it may be Satur
nay. No one knows what is ahead of the
party. They have not met with one for
tunate chance Everything has beeI
against them Nothing but the strongest
nerves and the brawniest arms could have
put them where they now are. But they
are right where they expected to be, anc
will continue until they reach the end.

State V. j. $. Farr, from Cabell county,
opinion by Snyder; judgment OF Circuit

This decision is Of a great deal Of inter
est to saloon keepers throughout the State.
The case arose out of Farr selling liquor 10

of the fact as TO the party being under age,
and was sustained by the rulings Of the

RECORDS SMASHED.
SALVATOR WINS THE GREAT FOUR-YEAR-O OLD
RACE AT SHEEPSHEAD.
A Mile and Quartar Rounded Up in 205-All
Previous Records Broken-Twenty Thousand
People Yell Like Mad as the Horses
Sweep Under the Wire.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Fully twenty
thousand people witnessed races at
Sheepshead Bay to-day. The principal
race was match of $1,000 each with
-, 600 added by the Club between Sal
yator and Tenny.

won; time, l:l0.
Second race-Five furlongS. Pic
nicker won; time, l:09.
Third race-Onc mile and furlOng
CaStaway won; time, 1854 l-5.
Fourth race-Match race between
Salvador and Tenny, one mile and a
quarter Salvador ridden by Murphy,
Tcnny by Garrison.
They made a fine start. Around the
first turn they sweep in cloud of dust,
with Salvador in the lead Murphy is
seen to urge Salvador as they enter the
back-Stretch. Garrison lets out link,
and closes in on Salvador.
The pace is getting hotter. Faster
and faster the swift racers travel, and
the far turn is reached with the pair
still running so close and steady that Il
blanket would have covered them. Now
the battle royal is begun.
On the far turn Murphy let's out a
| link on Salvador and the gallant chest
nut opens up gap, and his partisanS
shout that all is over, but Garrison
begins TO ride hard, but as
they sweep into the stretch Salvador
has three lengths the best of it. Garri
son is riding one of the grandeSt finishes
ever seen on race track. He fairly
seemed TO lift his mount To the wire.
Twenty thousand people are yelling like
mad rs the horses sweep under the wire.
Salvador has won, by the shortest of
short heads, and had the race been
twenty yards farther, Garrison'S magni-
fcent riding would have landed Tenny
4 winner.
A wild glad shout went up as the
time was put up. The record was bro
ken all to smash. The record of 200 I
was beaten one and one-half seconds,
and the judges hoiSted 2:0j as the time.
