PORTLAND, Aug. ls.-Quite sensation
has been caused here by the disappearance
of Miss Anna Leaf. who, until recently.
mas been the prima donna at the Casino
theater of the defunct DeShetley Opera
Company. Miss Leaf. in private life is
Mrs. Brooke, wife of Claude III. Brooke,
comedian of the Maude Granger company.
Brooke arrived here yesterday from the
Sound. He expected TO find Miss Leaf
here, but was disappointed. He recently
received loving letter from his wife, but
the following day brought another from
her that was cold and cruel. In the second
letter she frankly told him she did not
love him, never had and never could:
that she was going away to leave him, and
that IL would be useless for him to attempt
TO follow or find her. She purchased a
ticket here and is said 10 have gone to
Spokane Falls. In her letter she admits
that Brooke has been good. kind husband

A DYNAMITER'S DEED.
House Blown Up With Giant
Powder at Boulevard.
A vENcEFuL HUSBAND ACCUSED.
Conjugal Quarrels End In . Dastardly
Deed-One Man Thrown Out Of
Bed by the Shock.

The residence of Mrs. John w. Watson,
of Boulevard, was blown up with giant
powder at II o'clock last night, while Mrs.
Watson, her children and eight boarders,
were asleep in bed.
The house stands near the south side OF
the bridge at that place. The whole south
end OF the house was blown or
J. Dean, train dispatcher for the Seattle,
Lake Shore & Eastern, who is one of the
boarders. was blown entirely out of bed and
several feet in the air. and thence to the
floor, but escaped with few bruises.
Mrs. Watson was stunned and remained
several minutes unconscious, while the
badly shaken up.
This is the second accident that has hap
pened at the house of Mrs. Watson within
six days. Both were caused by malicious
hands. and came near ending fatally.
A week ago last night the house was set
on fire at midnight, while all were asleep,
by an unseen hand. All had narrow
escape from burning and suffocation: but
the FIRE was put out in time to prevent
fatality.
Mrs. Watson came in from Boulevard
for assistance on the freight train at 2:3O
o'clock this morning. She said it was her
husband, John w. Watson, who did both
deeds, and that he had latterly threatened
to kill her.
She said she was positive it was he, be-
cause he had made such threats against
her, and that on the morning after her
house had been set on FIRE he did not deny
having kindled the blaze.
Mrs. Watson tells story of an unhappy
marriage. When seen by q PosT-IrTELLI-
GENcER reporter at an early hour this
morning. she said: my husband has tried
to live off my earnings ever since we
were married, and has done so most OF the
time When I had to begin keeping q
clearinghouse in order to live, he would
not work at all. -
81 got tired of being slave, and told him
he would have to help earn the money
and quit his harsh treatment, or ! would
not live with him.
I'VE finally agreed to divide the prop
erty and part I had made a
good sum of money, so that he
had $50 of my cash when he left. He
came back inside of two months. however.
and begged me to take him back and
promised that he would do better. / did
so, but he was as cruel as ever, and about
two weeks ago we parted a second time"
Mrs. Watson further SAID her husband
wanted to get hold of the property which
she had earned and put in her own name.
She gives this as the only reason for her
husbands cowardly deeds.
Today Mrs. Watson will swear out war
rant for her husband s arrest on the charge
of arson

TACOMA. Aug. 1s.-The second number
of the Puget Sound Real Estate Ncps, issued
this evening, contains some interesting
figures, giving the aggregate of the daily
real estate transfers in Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland during the past week. The
Nescs says:
Portland ana Tacoma real estate transfers for
last week show that It Is little livelier in Be-
attic just now. The town ct the he ID of Elliot
bay may not have any transcontinental rail-
roads yet that are exclusively her own, but she
has lively lot of real estate hustlers. who man
age to keep pretty well up in the front of the
procession. Seattle leads both Tacoma and
Portland in the race this week, her aggregate
transfers for the week being more than double
the total OF Tacoma and Portland There have
been several large sales there. Portland again
keeps up q mournful place in the rear. Last
Tuesday less than 50. 900 worth OF property was
sold In that city, each transfer averaging about
$500. Tacoma Is more than 100000 behind Sc
attic for the week, and Portland nearly s20o,0o0
Tacoma Is go, 1872 IS ahead of Portland.
The market in both Tacoma and Seattle liv-
cned up considerably during the week. The
outlook for quick and active market is very
favorable Though the greatest number of in
vestments have been in the CITY, there have
been quite number of sales in other towns
around the Sound.

Convention Today--Steve Whites Effort
to Be Endorsed for Senator.
SAN JOSE. Aug. 18.-The streets were
filed with marching delegations all this al
ternoon and the evening. and when the
last train arrived tonight the city seemed
to be OVERLOOKING. The sidewalks were
blocked in front of the hotels and head
quarters, and everybody was talking about
various phases Of the convention which
will open tomorrow. Congressman Thomas
J. Clunie arrived at 4 o'clock and was re-
ceived by . committee and escorted to the
California theater. where q public recep-
ton was given him by the citizens
Of San Jose as a mark of appreciation of
his efforts in securing new public build
ing for the city. Besides the regular dele
egates to the convention various political
clubs have been arriving all day and
marching from the railroad stations to
their headquarters, accompanied by bands
OF music. Among the largest organiza-
tions were the Manhattan Club, of San
Francisco. and the Tammany Club, of
Los Angeles, which arrived at 8 o'clock
this evening.
Practically all the delegates are on the
ground tonight, and the supporters OF diff
ferent gubernatorial candidates are still
making an active canvass, but the princi-
pal interest is taken in the result of the
efforts Of Stephen White to secure the in
dorsement of the convention for United
Staes senator.

Hobberv on BOARD steamers.

TACOMA, Aug. 1s.-An English tourist,
who declined to give his name. asked the
aid of the police today to help him recover
his pocket-book. of which he was relieved
last night on board the City of Kingston.
1t contained some valuable papers and q
few dollars in money. Instances OF petty
thievery and robbery by confidence men
on board the Sound steamers have been
VIGOROUSLY numerous of late. The men,
bers of the gang have become bold in their
operations and it is reported that some Of
them openly boast that Sound travellers
have been relieved of at least $12. 900 during
the past month. The gentlemen robbers
live high upon the fruits of their knavery,
and complacently ask, What are you go
ing to do about it?" Until something is
done about it passengers will do well to de-
post their vaIuables with the purser for
safe keeping and refrain from card-playing.

FIRE IN SLAUGHTER.
Wooden Business Buildings
Burn Like finder.
CORPSE IN THE RUINS.
1t Looked as Though the Town Was
Doomed-Help Sent From Seattle
Loss About $4,000.

SLAUGHTER. Aug. 19.-One of the finest
blocks in the town is in ruins. and for
time it looked as if the whole town would
be destroyed by fire.
The fire broke out at 2 80 this morning in
E.. Martins shoe store on Main street, be-
tween Cedar and the county road and
spread with such rapidity that Martin had
not time to escape and was burned to
death. In an instant the streets were crowd
ed with people. shouting and running hither
and thither in wild excitement. There
were only two old-fashioned pumps to
fight the fire with, and they were power
less to cope with the devouring element.
The flames spread like wiIdfire to Nathan
McNatt's liquor store. and the air re-
sounded with reports of exploding barrels.
Thence they spread to c. N. Stones
jewelry store and then to Mrs. Belts Bell
hotel. In an instant the latter building
was ablaze from cellar to roof. Then DR..
Rice's office took fire and was in a minute
in ruins. Finally the Martin building was
seized by the flames and was soon mass
of flames.
Long before the fire had reached its
height, Operator Bigelow, of the Western
Union. had telegraphed to Seattle for aid.
Chief Kellogg loaded an engine and hose
cart on flatcar and had them
attached to train and rush
ed to the scene. The train
fairly bounded over the track and reached
Slaughter, distance of eighteen miles, in
twenty-five minutes. at five minutes to
O'Clock.
AS soon as the train pulled up at the sta
ton a crowd of people gathered around the
engine, shouting:
YOU'RE too late. The ERE is out"
Chief Kellogg, however, unioaded the
engine and hose, determined to prevent
the fire from being famed into fresh fury
by morning breeze. 1t was fortunate
that he did SO for the fire burst forth anew
on the opposite side of Main street.
A bucket brigade was promptly
organized and by energetic work succeeded
in subduing the flames before they had
gained fresh strength.
The loss will amount to about $4,000
with very little insurance. The town feels
the loss of its finest block severely.
Martins remains have not yet been re-
covorod oe The rr1ins ora still foo bof tr ta
approached.

Carbonate Mine Will Not Be C1osed-A
False Report.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 1s.-Regarding the
story published in morning paper yester-
day to the effect that Superintendent Da-
vies, of the Carbonate coal mines, located
on the Carbon river, in Washington, the
property of the Southern Pacific Company,
had been ordered by the state fish COM
missioners to discontinue washing coal in
the Carbon river, the reason given being
that the water from the coal was killing
the fish in the river, there is hardly a
word of truth in the entire story" said
Charles +. Croker. Goal has been
washed in the river for three years, and it
is well-known fact that there has never
been fish in any considerable number in
the river. Mr.. Davies has had some con-
ferences with the fish commission, but the
story that the mines will be closed down is
untrue.n
