Good words are always in place. They
are words of sincerity, charity, encours
agement, but probably also reproof and
rebuke. If they are true and ftly spoken,
they are good, and in some way or other
will have mission of usefulness.

THE CITY MAGISTRATE.
A Number of Petty Cases Tried by
Judge Rivers.

In Judge Rivers court yesterday several
"drunks and disorderlies" were tried. and
most of them were fined from S. to 81.
Two members of the fraternity who were
brought in by Officer Harding for fighting,
swore that they were only fooling, notwith-
standing the fact that one of them had a
scratch and good-sized swelling on his
cheek, and two witnesses testihed to seeing
the night. They chuckled over their good
luck, as they heard the judge say mot
guilty"
E. H. Thompson, the man who assumed
the role of chief of police the night before,
paid S. for his little innocent amusement.
Drunkenness was the only charge put
against him.
John Kelly. alias John Clark, who stole
a can of milk from the Yokohama restaur-
ant Saturday night, was sent to the city
Jail in default of a $50 nne. John tried
hard TO play the innocent dodge, and make
it appear that he happened to see some
fellows drinking milk in a new building
in the vicinity and accepted an in
he 'A' was drinking the officer came in
and the others red. Having confidence of
his ability to clear himself by his con-
sciousness of innocence, he refused to run
and was therefore the only one arrested.
The story was out of joint with his general
makeup and the story of the officer. and
Judge Rivers refused to swallow it.
John Hannibal. the man who stole
shirt from ]. MCGOWAN, was fined 500.
His financial standing is not frst-class, so
he will be compelled to work the amount
out on the chain-gang.
D. McAchren, the boy who was charged
with stealing a watch from I. Davis, was
released, as Davis could not prove the
charge.
Fred Palmer, the boy who was arrested
Sunday, wearing coat and vest stolen
from H. Rosenthsl's store a week ago, was
released, as he introduced reliable wit
ness to prove that he bought the clothes
for So from two men down at the coal
bunkers. He is out his S. on the transac-
ton.
w. Jewett and f. Warrell, the two men
Officer Powers caught in the act of break
ing large section of water-pipe belonging
to the city, were fined $40 each.

NO ENABLING LAW.
Oldham Gates Plea for Release
From Arrest.
A NEW LEGAL TECHNICALLY.
UnneighborIy Women Charge Each
Other With Stealing Chickens
Contractors Suit.

The Oldham Gates case took new turn
yesterday. and the alleged Ascending
debtor, after languishing in Jail several
hours, sought the protection ofthe superior
court through the agency of the time-hon-
ored writ of habeas corpus.
Gates, who was released from arrest on
hearing before Judge Lichtenberg last
saturday, was rearrested at the instance of
Liyesley & Co. on the charge of being an
ascending debtor about to leave the state
for the purpose of defrauding his creditors.
His release from the first arrest was eff
fected through the failure of the attorney
Tor Livesley d Co. to serve copy of the
complaint on Gates at the time of his ar
rest. The order under which his second
arrest was made is claimed TO be also IL
legal. Gates, in his application to Judge
Lichtenberg for q writ of habeas corpus,
states that no proper warrant had been is
sued for his arrest, and no order whatever
bearing the seal of the court.
The principal point on which Gates
relies is his application for second writ
of habeas corpus Is that there is no law
for the arrest of absconding debtors in
this state. He states that the laws of the
territory of Washington at the time and
prior to the adoption of the constitution of
the state of Washington did not provide
for imprisonment in cases of absconding
debtors, and by virtue of the adoption of
that constitution all laws relating to
imprisonment for debt were abolished and
repealed; that by virtue of the repeal and
abolition OF the territorial laws for i'm
prisonment for debt all provisions relating
to their enforcement were likewise repealed
and are no longer in force and effect No
laws have been passed for the enforcement
of the constitutional provision for impris-
onment of absconding debtors. and petit
toner cannot be restrained of his liberty
under the constitution of the state until
proper laws for such imprisonment are
enacted.
Judge Lichtenberg granted the writ of
habeas corpus and the case will have
hearing in his court at $50 o'clock this
morning

CHICKENS CAUSED 1T.
Sensational SANDER Suit for $1,000
Damages.

An amusing case was on trial in Judge
Humes' court all day yesterday and is
still pending. 1t is the case of Margaret
Gardner against Rose Finnegan, for S., 900
damages for SANDER. The two women are
neighbors, residing near the corner of
Cedar and Williamson streets, but they
are not very neighborly. They are both
piain-spoken individuals, without the
polish of more fashionable circles, and
hence when Rose Finnegan thought Mar
garet Gardner stole her chickens she I'M
hesitatingiy told her so in language more
forcihle than polite, and Mrs. Gardner, in
return, expressed her opinion of Mrs. Fin
negan. Neither opinion was flattering.
and according to the testimony of the two
females pulling followed.
It seems that Mrs. Finnegan charged
Mrs. Gardner with stealing her chickens
and dog. Hard names followed, and
when the young FInDegans began gather
ing blackberries near Mrs Gardeners house
the latter's husband ''hred stones at
who says: Seeing my children in danger,
| went out toward Gardner, and he ran
away, but Mrs. Gardner began throwing
sticks of wood at me, and when / got to
her she grabbed me by the hair and then
We were a-tossling and a-wrestling, and
she got loose and ran into the house and
got pail of water, which she flung over
me. Then she seized me by the hair of
the head, and while she held me down
Gardner pelted me with the pail till / was
bloody al over"
Both women were very bitter and called
each other chicken thief and other hard
names.
The case will probably occupy most of
the day in Judge Humes' court.

THE EXTENSION ORDINANCE.
Judge Jacobs Denies That it Was Sub
mitted to Him.

Commenting upon the report of the pro-
ceedings of the house of delegates, in the
course of which Mr.. Shipley said he under
stood that Corporation Counsel Jacobs had
passed upon the ordinance for an election
as to extending the city limits, that gen.
tleman gives the correct version of the
matter.
II feel sure Mr. shipley believed what
he said" was Judge Jacobs comment,
but he has been misinformed. A petition
was presented to the city council some
time ago, which had on it large number
of names said to be full two-hfths of the
voters in Seattle and two-ffths of the
voters In the territory sought to be an
nexed. The first was general descrip-
ton, and the second most specific de-
scription. 1t turns out that the specific
description was not correct at the time the
ordinance was passed. Between the time
of filing the petition and the passage of
the ordinance it is alleged that the town of
Ballard extended its boundaries from
Times street northward the width of six
or seven blocks. No one knew of this
change at the time the ordinance was
passed.
THE petitioners, for reasons satisfactory
to themselves, employed Mr.. Wheeler, an
able and accurate attorney, to draw up the
ordinance. l am informed that Judge
Rochester assisted him in drawing up the
ordinance. Judge Rochester, as all know
is not only an abe, but an accurate and
careful attorney. When one section of
this ordinance was drawn, it was shown to
me by Mr.. Wheeler. I told him it would
not answer the purpose in the shape it was
then in. He took it away and that was
the last saw of it. 1t was drawn, pre-
scented to the common council and passed
by them without asking me anything
about il.
"Mr. Shipley is alleged to have said that
I was present in one body Of the city
council when this ordinance was under
con sideration. This may possibly be so,
but my memory is to the contrary. If /
was present paid no attention to it, and
did not consider it my duty to do so.''

THE EMMA JUCH SEASON.


The Emma Juch Great E glish Opera
Company, numbering over $50 people, give
a brief season of grand English opera at
the Seattle opera-house, commencing Mon
day, February 8. The Juch company are
at present playing in San Francisco at the
Baldwin theater, and the entire press of
that city are unit in prom ouncing this
organization superior in every way to any
similar body that has yet visited the Coast.
Emma Juch, the prima donna who heads
this organization, has long been conceded
the peer of all American singers She is to
the English opera what Patti is to Italian.
being the possessor of vocal organs of
great strength and exquisite sweetness.
She has the true dramatic FIRE and beau
tlful stage appearance.
Her company is made up with the idea
OF giving such support as an artist of her
accomplishments demands. embracing
such noted singers as Georgine Won Janus
chowsky, Carlotta Maconda, Marie Free
vert, sopranos; Louise Meislinger, Dora
Escott, Bernice Holmes, contraltos; PAYNE
Clark, Charles Hedmont, William
Stephens, George Gould, tenors; Otto

baritones; Franz Vetta, E. N. knight and
s. II: Dudley. This splendid company
Will have the assistance of an orchestra
of thirty and a chorus of eighty voices. all
being under the supervision of Add
Neuandorf, the famous New York leader
The repertoire selected is one of great
strength, embracing two of Richard Wag-
ncr's greatest works, .'Lohengrin" and
..Tannhauser," and the masterpieces of
Bizet and Verdi. Wagner's "Lohengrin'
will be the opening opera, followed by
"Rigoletti, ""Carmen" and ''Tannkauser. ~
Another notable feature regarding the
forthcoming engagement will be the fact
that it will give the music-loving public of
this city their first opportunity of hearing
a Wagnerian opera. The mounting and
costuming of these great music dramas
viii eclipse in grandeur anything hereto
fore seen in this city, it requiring i've
special cars to handle the paraphernalia
used in the above production.
The Juch company will come direct to
this city from Portland in their own spe-
cial train of nine cars. The scale of prices
will range from so cents to 50 80, accord
ing to location, which is remarkably rea-
sonable when the immensely of this organ
ization is taken into consideration. The
advance sale of seats will open next Mon
day morning at the down town ticket
Office of the opera-house, lis James street.

Besieged by Inquiries,

A gentleman in this city who is inter-
ested in the coming excursion to Anacor-
ties has received letter from the Spokane
Falls Rcriew, which gives an idea of the
interest the Anacortes excursion is attrac-
ing. The letter says: 1--WE have made
especially prominent notice of the post
ponement of the Anacortes excursion, one
object being. to relieve the pressure on the
n. P. city ticket Office people, who tele-
phoned us that their Office was besieged
by people wanting information regarding
excursion tickets, terms, etc."
This interest in the excursion has also
been manifested in Portland, Olympia,
Tacoma, Seattle. and in fact in all the cities
on the Sound.
