Mr. Muldoon suggested that some steps
be taken TO promote street grading. He
for one was anxious TO have some done

cannot be done
Mr. Bagley said the grading could go on

IN A BATH OF STEAM.
Pleasure Party on the Yacht
Aquila in Danger.
TWO PERSONS BADLY scALDED.
Mr. McNaught's Boat Disabled by IN
Accident to the Boiler-The Pot
ter to tho Rescue.

The steam yacht Aquila, owned by Mr..
J. F. Mcknight, met with an accident off
Alki point last evening which disabled it
and caused two of the persons on board to
be badly scalded. She was picked up by
the Potter and towed into port.
The Aquila left the city about 8 o'clock
and steamed over to Port Orchard, having
on board Mr.. Mcknight. Miss Helen Nc
Naught, his daughter, Mr.. Frank Nc
Naught, his nephew. DIR. A. P. Mitten. Mr..
Wood, Miss Katie McGraw and Miss Lille
Kellogg, daughter of DR.. David kellogg,
William Richards, her captain, and Henry
Smith, her engineer. On her return trip
she reached Aiki point about $50, and. as
she got into rough water there, the chill
dren fastened down the curtains to keep
out the spray which was flying over the
bows. DR.. Mitten and Mr.. Mcknight
then went aft with the children.
Just as they reached the after part of the
boat something about the boller-a steam
gauge or steam-cock-ble out and great
volumes of steam poured out into the
cabin, the closed curtains preventing it
from escaping into the open air. It blew
right out astern among the party.
The passengers were completely envel-
oped in steam, and one of the children was
with difficulty restrained from jumping
overheard in panic. She was held by
Miss Mcknight, who showed GOODNESS
beyond her years. Mr.. Mcknight and DIR.
Mitten had to pull with all their strength
to raise the curtains in order to release the
great volume of scalding steam
Mr.. Smith, the engineer, was badly
scalded on the hands and face, the flesh
peeling from his hands and the skin peel
ing off his nose and cheeks. Little Miss
Kellogg also had her hands badly scaided,
but otherwise she was uninjured. The
rest of the party escaped injury or with
slight scalds. Fortunately can of linseed
oil was found on board and was used to re-
ieve the pain of the scalds.
The escape of the steam occupied only
few seconds and the boat was then disa-
bled and had to lie awaiting help. After
tossing on the waves for an hour and a
quarter, period which seemed twice as
long, the party sighted the Potter on her
way in from Tacoma. She was hailed and
promptly took the boat in tow, bringing
her into port in a few minutes. Every
kindness was shown to the party by the
officers and crew of the Potter, Mr.. Smith
finding willing nurse in his uncle and
namesake, the engineer of the Potter.
Mr.. Mcknight cannot tell exactly what
caused the accident, as he has not yet as
certained what it was that blew out. He
thinks, however, that something must
have struck against either the steam-gauge
or steam-cock and loosened it. Without
such an accident it could not have blown
out, as the boiler was only carrying about
200 pounds OF steam at the time. She is
allowed $50 pounds pressure and carried
that amount on the day of the presidents
visit. and has been tested to 400 pounds
An examination Of the boiler will be made
TODAY.

San Francisco Alta compimented the COM
pany which will be seen in Mr.. Barnes,
as follows: "In addition, the parts were
played with both power and pathos. Of
course, Mr.. Barnes, the imperturbable, au-
dacious, but withal plucky American diet

Francisco, played the part with all the
cool insouciance that the part demanded
The contemplate Count Musso Danella
was played with manly force by Mr. Sheri-
dan Block, and Miss Emma Field made a
very charming Enid Anstruther. Miss
Anna Blancke made the part of Maud

girl just as execrable as the character de-
served, and that is saying good DEAL"

in full view of the audience, are among the
special features in scenery.

THE VENDETTA.
New Faces and Strong Play 1t Cord
rays Theater.

rays Theater.
Last nights performance of LA Ven-
delta" by the Cordray company was de-
cided success. Mr.. w. A. Whitecar and
Mr.. Walter Fessler, who both made their
nrst appearance, are strong additions to
the stock company, and Manager Cordray
should be congratulated on securing them.
Mr.. Whitecar, who is sole owner of this
drama, plays the lead, Count Romans.
and that OF John Jenkins, comedy part.
The part of Count Romans is a strong
emotional role, telling Of the devotion and
feaity of the count for his wife, his mar
tyrdom in prison. his final escape and
meeting with his wife, and also his tragic
death. John jenkins is an eccentric
American, who meets with all sorts of
mishaps, finally ending in his fighting q
duel. 1t is almost impossible to think
that one and the same man played both
these parts. Mr.. Whitecar made the
changes in costume dialect, makeup,
etc., with marvellous rapidity
that betokened skilled artist. The
scenic effects were most excellent. The
the massive towers of the prison at Tou-
Ion would strike terror to the hearts of
evil doors. The great revolving scene
showed first the explosion caused
by the prisoners in their attempt to escape.
and then the prisoners again in the power
of the gendarmes. The shipwreek scene
was also very realistic and finely gotten
up. Mr.. Whitecar has fine stage pres
ence and wonderfully sympathetic voice,
which he uses most artistically. In his
dying scene he was especially effective,
and his work showed that he had devoted
years to the study of such characters.
Miss Laura Alberta, who is one of the
greatest favorites Seattle has ever had, was
especially strong. Miss Alberta is an
artist that would be an ornament to any
company. In the role of Angeline, while
not lovable character by any
means, it was so artiscally rendered by
Miss Alberta that it compelled admiration
from all. Mr.. Walter Fessler, who was
seen for the first time last night, is an
actor of rare ability. His delineation of
Marchese di WHARF, the crafty villain.
while not allowing full scope to show his
fine powers, stamped him as possessor Of
great histrionic ability. He has an ex-
tremely handsome face and Inquire that
adds not little to his success as an actor
The rest of the cast was unusually accept
ably filled, Lorimer tombstone and Katie
Dalglish deserving especial mention. The
auditorium performance is the strongest
that has ever been seen there. In addi-
ton to several new attractions, the Powers
family ana Quigley brothers remain over.

The UNION OF FARMERS.


Provision to Store Whent--Route Of the
Great Northern.
]. ]. Browne, of Spokane, arrived in this
city yesterday and is at the Rainier, hav-
ing come to attend meeting of the board
OF rege nts of the state university. In an
Interview with q PosT-INTELLIGEycER re-
porter he said: 'The farmers are prepar-
ing to handle this years wheat crop by
putting up warehouses of their own at
many stations. Some of them are being
erected by the local Farmers Alliance,
while few local farmers are clubbing
together for the purpose at other places.
believe they propose in some way to
raise fund to enable the farmers to har-
vest their crop. They also talk of issuing
warehouse receipts for grain stored in the
warehouses, on which the holder can raise
money, and of selling wheat out of the
warehouses and dividing the proceeds pro
rata among these having grain stored
there. In this way they hope to be able
to overcome the monopoly of the Northern
Pacific Elevator Company.
II see that Mr.. Hannaford, the general
traffic manager of the Northern Pacific,
says that the railroad is preparing to move
the crop promptly this fall and prevent
s>NAOsAA~A OASSAooS Oy AlIOrc eli
gines. But the complaint Of the farmers
has always been that they cannot get cars
until the wants of the elevator company
have been supplied, and the reason they
give for this is that the railroad and the
elevator company are the same. 1t is Ger
tain that they are intimately connected.
CONSTRUCTION work is going on rapidly
on the Great Northern road in the Koote-
mai valley, about sixty-fve miles east of
Spokane. / believe that the road will be
built right into Spokane instead of coming
in over the Spokane & Northern, as was
reported to be the intention. The map
showing the final location within twenty
six miles OF Spokane has been filed at the
land Office, and it shows the road to
cross the Spokane & Northern and
to parallel it for some distance while
coming towards Spokane. From this fact,
the fact that some Of the grades on the
Spokane & Northern would not suit Mr..
Hills ideas and the fact that Spokane
offers the best place for crossing the Spo-
kane river, conclude that the main line
Of the Great Northern will run through
Spokane. Nor have heard that any steps
have been taken towards the purchase of
the Spokane & Northern, though it has
good depot ground at Spokane, and the
line could be changed without great ex-
pense where it has heavy grades

Successful Opening Of the Roland Reed
Engagement.

SuccessIul opening OF tho Roland Reed
Engagement.
Roland Reed opened his engagement at
the Seattle opera-house last evening in
''The Woman Hater." and scored an abso-
lutte success. The large audience entered
thoroughly into the laughable spirit of the
acting, and from the rise of the
curtain in the first act until it fell
at the finish of the play, gave
every evidence of genuine appreciation.
The play itself is pure comedy, and is the
story of Samuel Bundy, a confirmed
woman hater, who for fifteen years has
eluded the snares of the other sex, only at
length to fall a victim, and in rapid success.
