Thousand Dollars Damages

eta M. Bones, the well known WOman's
Christian Temperance seceder, has
brought suit against thirty women Of

kOta.
Mrs. Bones came TO st. Paul two weeks
ago, from her home I'm Webster, :. d., aud

AN OPIUM SEIZURE
Thirty-eight Pounds of the Drug
Captured

Supsb'oo
SEATTLE, June i9-When the train
from the north pulled into the station at
the foot of Columbia street, this noon, In
spector j. C. Baird alighted with two
prisoners in the persons OF John Clark and
Charles Burke-at least that is what they
call themselyes-who were caught with
two valses full of opium.
Today is the fourth day that Baird has
been on the train that runs between Sc
attic and Sedro, and one OF the stations
about thirty miles this side,
twice daily. Shortly after boarding the
train TO Sedro this morning he noticed
two valises that looked suspicious and
lifting them found them well loaded.
At first, Clark, who had them in charge,
denied any ownership, but finally ac-
knowledged that one was his and one his
partners, and wound up by asking the
Inspector to name his price and let them
go their way.
just at this time the train reached
Medina and Burke jumped of and start
ed on run. Leaving Clark in care OF
one OF the passengers, Baird gave chase,
and on Burkes refusal 10 stop, began
firing. He took five shots at the fleeing
man, which brought the latter to stand +
still. Bair brought the men through to
Seattle and took them before Judge
Emery, who bound them over TO trial In
the circuit court.
When the valises were opened one was
found TO contain thirty-iive five-tael cans
OF dope" and the other thirty-seven
cans, thirty six pounds In all, worth about
800. The men denied ownership OF the
vallses when examined, but the evidence
against them was conclusive.
Burke had S4S. s. In cash, gold watch
and diamond ring on his person, and
Clark had s5l.75 in cash, a diamond stud
and gold watch. Clark is a forbidding
looking fellow OF about as years, but
Burke Is young man and apparently
new at the business.

TELEaRAPHERs IN SESSION
A Hitch in an Erort to Amalgamate
the Orders

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-the grand division
of the Order Of Railway Telegraphers has
decided to purchase outright the organ OF
the order Of Railway Telegraphers. 1t
is not statedothat the railway telegraph
ers and brotherhood struck a snag In
their negotiations looking TO amalgama
tion. The hitch, 1t Is said, was caused by
a clause In the law OF the railway people,
which provided that an operator must
have done railroad telegraphing three
years before he can become a member.
The brotherhood people are sticking out
for the one year qualification. They say
the three-year limit would bar out fully
30 per cent. OF the commercial operators.
Another conference between the two as
sociations will be held today.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: A. ID. Thurst)n, Of
Vinton, Iowa, grand chief telegrapher;
5. o. Fox, Of Vinton, grand secretary and
treasurer; q. ID. Ramsey, Of East st.
Louis, assistant grand chief telegrapher;
Senior Lecanda, Of Mexico, grand senior

his wounds. The father was arrested.

A DECIDED CHANGE
Only One Train to and from ssdro
Daily

Commencing next Monday the present
efficient train service will undergo a de-
clded and radical change. Only one train
will be run TO and from Sedro daily as
follows:
The train will leave Blaine at 6 a. m.
and arrive at Fairhayen at 7:25, and will
remain here until 80 y. m, when IL will
leave for Wolley, arriving there at $3.50.
Returning the train will leave Woley at
4;3O y. m. arrive In Fairhaven at 600 and
at Blaine at 500.
The reason for this change Is the lack
OF patronage on the passenger trains, the
travelling public seeming TO have prefer
ence for travelling via steamer. All the
surplus rolling stock on the Falrhaven
and Southern has been sent TO the Seattle
and Montana, where II will be used for
construction purpOses

REPUBLICAN STATE PoL1rrcs.


The Republican State convention
met at Ocean city Thursday, Au-
gust 27th, and went through the
formality Of making nominations
for State officers. Leading repub-
lican politicians were present and
canvassed the situation.
OF the st. Mary's delegation,
John Cajay and John N. Graves
were in attendance.
The convention assembled at IL
o'clock, and the proceedings were
all harmonious. Ex-Congressman
Lewis e. McComas presided.
All the candidates were nominal
ed by acclamation, as follows
For Goyernor-William ]. Van
mort.
For Comptroller of the Treasury
Capt. John Mcdonald, of Mont
gomery county.
Attorney General-Geo. NJ. Sharp,
of Baltimore city.
Clerk Court of Appeals-Enoch
b. Abel, of st. Mary's.
The platform endorses President
Harrison's administration and de-
nounces "the Democracy of Mary
land;" favors new assessment law,
taxation of mortgages, a primary
election law and opposes any leasing
of the oyster grounds. 1t makes
no reference to the force bill.
OF course, there is not the ghost
of a chance for the election of the
above ticket. 1t will be beaten by
an old time majority. But some
body had to be nominated and the
fight must be made.

Local Dottfng..


Lsvunsevs Lsea1.
More rain and as mortzls cannot possibly
be satisfied, complaints relative 70 the
moisture mentioned are numerous. Cool
and warm weather alternating seems 20 be
another cause for uneasiness OF mind. and
consequent comical manouyers are wit
messed.
The absence Of your correspondent for
several days we trust win plead a. an
excuse Cor the absence Of local news.
Early Tuesday morning 25th ultimo, we
took passage from MilIer's wharf, Smiths
creek. per Steamer Arrowsmith, for Wash
ington and points In Virginia. The day
was an exceedingly snclement one which
forced rs 70 keep within doors the better
part Of same Disappointment seem to
be particularly picked out for us, and We
eniesyor TO meet them with all the resigna-
ton possible.
The steamer made every landing with
the exception of Daileys As we passed
by it small pale faced man in squeeky
voice said that he had letter which he
wished TO put on aboard, and the captain
very feelingly replied that he would call
for ID on the next up trip, which seemed
perfectly satisfactory.
Thompson's wharf. on the Nomini river
is owned exclusively by negroes. Acasual
glance at same and its surroundings con-
yinces us that even pygmy government
would fare badly under their exclusive
control.
The Columbia Fishing Club are stopping
at Mundy's Point for several weeks. They
have a small cannon with which they
salute every steamer on leaving. Their
band is composed of tin horns, drums, and
fractional pieces of instruments which,
perhaps, were formerly used by musicians
who have passed in their checks for more
coDgenial shore.
The accommodations of Arrowsmith are
not to be complained of by reasonable
persons. The officers are very affable and
polite to passengers, and so far as our
knowledge extends, we think that persons
who desire TO travel from Miller's to
Alexandria and Washington, could not
have more pleasant time than on board
Of same We returned as far as Piney
Point per steamer Tygert. The politeness
of the officers cannot be excelled, and the
table is replete with the substantials of life.
Some difficulty was experienced in the
way OF procuring a suitable boat to take
us to Smiths creek. After spending q
few hours at the Point, Capt. James Morgan
succeeded in getting the John L. Sullivan,
large sail boat and Messrs. f. Tompkins
of Va, s. L. Rawleigh and Geo. B. p.
Taylor, of st. Mary's, E. w. McIntire, Of
Alexandria, Va, and III. r. Turnipseed,
wife and child. of Montgomery, Ala, were
soon enjoying the refreshing breeze, and
within the space of two hours We were
safely landed at our respective destinations.
The pleasant sail will long be remembered
by
AzzANA.
