PoRr TOWNSEND, July 21.-while the
steamer George w. Elder was coming into
port this morning, shortly after Z O'Clock,
she went ashore on rocky point about
four miles beyond Point Wilson light
house. A heavy fog had come up and Cap
tain Hunter lost his bearings. When he
found himself in the predicament 1t was
too late, and in backing out the strong ebb
tide forced the vessel on the rocks, broad
side on, with stern furthest on shore. In
backing, the propeller struck the rock, and
the blades were broken; so all that could
be done was to send to the city for assist
ance.
Part OF her cargo was taken out and put
on barges, and at high tide this evening
the vessel was successfully floated of her
dangerous position. She is leaking some
what, but the pumps viii be able to keep
her free from water.
The extent of the damage is not known,
but win not be over 81 ,000 The vessel
was bound here from Portland and was to
sail for ALASKA tomorrow.
At about the same time the Elder went
ashore, the bark Oakland, which was sail
ing in. bound from San Francisco for this
city, there being no fog-horn blowing, mis-
took the point and ran on sandy beach
about quarter of mile beyond Point
Wilson. No damage was done to the ves-
sci, which was pulled off this evening at
high tide.
PORTLAND. July 21.-The steamship
George w. Elder left here Saturday night
with the following passengers: F. P. Ken
dali and wife. r. s. Miller. Robert Collier
and wife, /. d. Seward, NJ. J. Connolly,
Miss Connolly, Arthur NJ. Collier, ]. d.
Rankin. About twenty others at Tacoma
had engaged passage on the steamer and
were awaiting her arrival there, en- route to
Alaska

sold or used from such mines, and makes
u the duty of the prosecuting attorney OF
the district in which cosl mines are sit
uated to sue for such tax in case payment
thereof be refused. This law was amended
at the sessions OF 1856. 1886, 1887 and 1883.
ouf the tax was clearly not annulled or re-
peaied by the amendment. The latest law
was approved February 2, 1855, since which
date the tax has not been paid. The above
facts are set forth in q letter by Stste
Treasurer Lindsey to the prosecuting at
torneys of all the districts in which the
coal mines OF the state are situated. No
fsxes have been paid since February 9.
1855, since which time 9 100 900 tons of coal
have been mined. The tax on this coal at
mills per ton would amount to $40, 400.
State Treasurer Lindsey has written to
Prosecuting Attorney Carr. OF King coun-
ty, ordering him to collect this tar and
turn it over to the treasury. Mr.. Lindsey
also wrote H J. Snively. of Yakima; w.
A Reynolds, of Chehalis. and w. H. Smell,
OF Pierce county, upon the same subject.
According to reports in the governors of
fice, the output to June 80, 1890, is as fol-
lows: Black Diamond mine. so, ,655 tons;
Newcastle. 24l .s1i: Cedar Mountain, 65. ISL

NO New Developments-Plausib Story
of the Forgery.
TACOMA. July 2l.-There are no new de-
velopments in the Des Moines townsite
forgery case. 1t was set for hearing this
evening. but the only witness examined
was Auditor w. Il. Forrest, of Kina
county, and the case was held over till 8
o'clock tomorrow. Mr.. Forrest testified
that such deed had been recorded, and that
J. s. Cook Is grantee. A great many wit
nesses have been subp@naed and much in
terest is manifested in the case. 1t is very
generally believed that Cook was led into
the matter by McCausland. A plausible
story is that the deed, by which the Des
Moines Land Company came into posses
sion of the original townsite. was obtained
by fraud and that John Moore, the legal
heir. being in San Diego. had never signed
such deed, and that if Cook would furnish
the money he (McCausIand) would go to
California and get deed for the property
signed by Moore, which he did, but perpe-
trated q forgery upon Moore's name 1t
was also understood that each was to have
third If the deal was successful Nc
Causland has been in the employ of Cook
on one of his steamboats,, and is a man
fully 90 years of age. 1t is thought that
Cook, in his eager plight for gain, was
driven in the matter, which he should have
investigated more closely.

FIRE IN TACOMA.
Restaurant and Barber Shop in Hotel
Gand0lfo Injured.

Restaurant and Barber shop in Hotel
Gandolfo Injured.
TACOMA, July 21.- Fire broke out in the
basement of the Hotel Gandolfo this morn
ing, at o'clock, and completely gutted
the basement and lower floors The fire
was prevented from spreading by the
prompt arrival and effective work of the
fire department, and confined to the lower
floors. There were some seventy guests in
the hotel part. including the second, third
and fourth floors, who were hurried into
the street in all states of dishabille, but
whose only loss consisted of few extra
hours of sleep and good scare. The base
Keef1e as barber shop. and
fire originated from the boilers in the bath
room. Keeble's shop is total loss.
The rear, on Thirteenth street, was occupied
by E. q. Phillips as the Washington trunk
factory. He loses considerable from water.
Mr.. John Elder occupied the corner store
with stock of shoes. His loss was also
very heavy from smoke and water. The
hotel restaurant, owned by M. Drayeur, is
q total loss. Mr.. Drayeur also claims to
have lost $1,000. which was in the cash
drawer, and was removed by some one
during the excitement.
The losses and insurance are as follows:
j. f. Keeble, barber shop and bathroom,
s., 300; insurance. 81 600. e. e. Phillips,
Washington trunk factory, $1,000; in
surance, $500. John Elder, boots and
shoes, estimated that on his stock of SIS, COO
his loss is $4,000. with $500 insurance.
Garrettson. Woodruff. Pratt Il Co., whole
sale dry goods, sustained loss of from
$500 to 81 600 by water; fully covered.
conservative estimate will place the
loss at about $4,000.
The damage to the building. which is
owned by Ira Cogswell, will amount to
50 600

New YoRK. July 21--President Oakes, of
the Northern Pacific, today made the fol-
lowing statement:
"The Northern Pacific Company has
purchased a little more than majority OF
the capital stock of the Seattle, Lake Shore
& Eastern Company, that is, about s. ,000,-
600 out OF $5.O00.000. and has leased the
property upon the basis o. guaranty of
6s< per cent. interest on the outstanding
bonds, and a further issue of bonds neces-
sary to complete the line to the inter-
national boundary, q total of about
S., 100000.
1.-THE annual rental will be about $50, 900,
but inasmuch a. the Seattle company has
thus far earned interest the Northern
Pacific is not likely to be called upon to
make good any deficit.
THE Northern Pacific will enter upon
the above operation OF the Seattle road on
the 18th uit.
President A. 8. Dunham, of the Seattle,
Lake Shore & Eastern, was seen by PosT-
ISTELLIGEScER reporter and asked what he
knew of the transfer of the line as stated in
the above dispatch. Mr.. Dunham said:
II know nothing whatever sbout it; it is
news to me. All / know is the reports /
have heard during the last few days. /
wired to New York today for information,
but have got nothing yet. If such trans
fer has been made it may be through se-
curing majority of stock, which l would
not be advised of maybe for day or two.
II have not been notified of any meet
ings of the directors or any action looking
to transfer, and can give you no informa-
hat
formation be correct, could not say what
the effect will be upon the present officers
of the Seattle. Lake Shore & Eastern until
l receive information from New York.
II have talked with officials of the North
ern Pacific here the last few days. but if
they knew anything about such transfer
they said nothing to me. know the gem
eral report has been that the road was sold,
that is ALL
The reporter made diligent inquiry last
Friday night to learn if such transfer
had not been made that day. Counsel
James McNaught, of the Northern Pacific,
said:
81 am aware that such report has been
started from time to time, but, all other in
formation to the contrary, you will be cor
rect to say that the Northern Pacific has
not bought the Seattle, Lake Shore and
Eastern"
Judge Burke was next seen. and in reply
to the inquiries of the reporter said:
There is no doubt about it whatever:
know it. MY authority is no less than of
ficials of the Northern Pacific, and know
that while / was in New York large
amount of money was paid over by the
Northern Pacific on the bargain for the
Lake Shore road. I believe the transfer
will be made next Monday (yesrerdayln
