MURPHY TEMPERANCE CLUB.
Followers Of the Evangelist Discuss tn
Evils of Drin Ing.

The Murphy Gospel Temperance Club held an
enthusiastic meeting last evening in the old
Congregational church, on Second, between
Seneca and University streets, at which stirring
addresses were delivered by Rev. Daniel Bagley,
Judge James Epler, Rev. o. V. w. Chandler,
Judge ID. l.. Bugbee and Others
Mr.. Chandler, in his remarks, drew a compar-
1son between gripman dropping the cable and
q person losing his "grip'' through liquor, and
concluded by saying that as the cable was
picked up after feeling for it SO could the lost
come back by reaching to God.
Judge d. L. Bugbee suggested that 1t would
be good idea to put on the brakes in connec-
ton with the grip.
Judge James Epler testified to the benefit he
had received from the Murphy meetings, and
MI. Elliott stated that Frances Murphy would
return to Seattle and hold a big meeting, the
proceeds to go to the Murphy Gospel Temper
ance Club, to which Mr.. Bagley replied: 81 sup
pose that means club benefit" thereby pro-
yoking a smile.
A meeting will be held Sunday afternoon at
2:30 O'Clock in the same place.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Petition for the Planking of Howell


Petition Tor the Thanking OF Howell
Street.
The board of public works met yesterday af-
ternoon and transacted considerable business.
petition was received from Trusten p. Dyer
and others asking that Howell street be planked.
Commissioner Alexander said the company
was required by the franchise to plank between
the rails and q certain distance each side. He
thought the company would consent to plank
the full width between the rails If the city
would release them from the necessity OF plank
ing or the outside. The petition was referred
to the street comm issioner for an estimate.
The bid of the Excelsior Hose Company was
accepted
A communication was received from the IRE
commissioners enclosing the report OF their
committee advising rejection of the Green d
Pruntz swivel nozzles, and asking the board to
select another
Major Rinehart said the chief seemed to pre-
fer the Chicago extinguishing nozzle; he
thought as the council had been hurrying the
matter up, the board would be justified in or
dering the nozzle subject to the approval of the
council. The secretary was directed to notify
the city council.

TIRED OF MARRIED WOES.
Two Husbands Seek Release From u
faithful Wives.

Two Husbands Seek Release From I'm
faithful Wives.
Two divorce suits were fled yesterday in the
superior court and in both cases the complain
ing parties were husbands. One had been
abandoned by his alleged unfaithful wife, and
the wife of tho other had committed adultery,
treated him cruelty and had also left his bed
and board.
George w. Rose married Mary Rose in July,
1889, at Santa Barbara, CAL He claims that on
June l6, $780, the woman deserted him and that
she has remained away ever since. There were
no issues of the marriage and neither party is
possessed of property.
Lena Tieso is the vito from whom August
fieso desires the law To separate him. They
sxore eternal fidelity to each other In May, 1885,
GPort Arthur, Ont. The husband alleges that
Mrs Lena had improper relations with one Ul-
brick Rantia and others, and that, moreover,
abe has abandoned him. He claims that by
great industry he has become possessed of two
lots In Nesqually city and he prays the court to
30 decree that his unfaithiul wife may have no
share in the proceeds OF these lots.

DESIRE A CLEAR TITLE.
Parties Want to Remove Doubts About
Property Ownership.


The case of W. Krats aud Sarah /. Kratz, his
wife, vs.. Ellen Kellogg Hill ct al, is an equit-
sbe action wherein the plaintiffs seek to quiet
their title to lots l. ., s. II and II in block &c. of
D. I. Denny's third addition to North Seattle
They claim an interest in said property as de-
visecs under the the last will and testament of
Ellen K. Hill, deceased adverse to the plaintiffs
The plaintiffs claim title through J. d. Lowman
from his grantee, Henry l. Yesler, by deeds
dated December &c, 1883, who purchased it at a
sale under order of the court. The
defendants in the case are minors
and they set up the contention that
the sale under the foreclosure did not legally
convey their right, title aud interest in the
property. The plaintiffs claim that the conten-
ton of the defendants hinders their proper en-
,oymcnt OF the property, lessons its value and
hinders its sale. The petitioners ask the court
TO appoint a guardian ad litem: that the de-
PENDANTS be compelled TO set forth the exact
nature of the interests they claim, and that q
decree may be given by which it may be settled !;
that the defendants have no interest whatever
In the property above mentioned

William Donohue. who was charged with an as.
muit with deadly weapon upon the person of
John Boyle, the notorious \. Ii. Mclean was
brought as witness by the state When the
defense had its inning q number OF witnesses
were called who gave Mclean a scoring that
would have abashed any man on earth but him
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Mcbride in his
closing argument was quite pathetic concerning
the roasting" that poor Mclean received at the
hands OF certain witnesses, but the jury was not
at oil swayed by the eloquence In McLean's be-
hall, FOR without leaving their seats they pro.
nounced tho verde. which made Donohue a
free man.
The shooting took place several months ago in
the bsr.room of the Biion saloon on CONNER
cill, near Washington street. Donohue was In
the resort and had been playing cards with
Johnny Boyle and others. Donohue became
possessed OF the idea that an unfair advantage
was being taken OF him. He got into a row with
several members of the gang. was badly beaten
up himself and finally shot Boyle in the leg
He was arrested, tried and acquitted as above

that Mrs. Stern and son leave for Seattle imme-

Norwegian Engagements.

Leap-year reigns forever in this heather
land exclaimed an English tourist, stopping
in Norway village. One evening he had
been taking lesson In Norsh from young
lady, good -natured Norwegian being pres
ent who had Just walked sixteen miles across
the mountains. When the lady rose to 60 to
her lodgings in an adjoining house, the
Englishman offered to escort her through the
darkness.
She declined the honor, and in 80 abrupt
a manner as to surprise him. When she had
gone the Englishman asked the Norwegian
if he spoke English.
Not much-only few words" he an
swered. TELL me what means that ring the
lady wears. She is going to below you
call it ?" asked the Norwegian in scarlet per-
pexity, "Going to be married? Yis, Yis =
But" continued the Englishman, what l
am ignorant of is the difference in your rings
between married, unmarried, going TO be
married and never going to be married"
ooh, you will never tell that" said
the Norwegian, laughing loudly. "We can
not mark the men. Among us it is the man
who wears the ring"
ooh. see That is new lightp said
the Engishman, taking the mans large hand.
on whose fourth finger was plain solid gold
ring" "That is your wedding ring, then ?"
"Nai, mai" he replied, laughing and blushing.
THAT means have got to be married. %
"And then what becomes of it?"
I'VE put it on the right hand instead of the
left" said the Norwegian, holding out his
hand to bid the Euglishman Goth nat"
Then, as he was closing the door behind
him, he said in confidential tones "Yis, that
young lady who was talking to you is
going to marry me next month";
