I'VE have a lot of it stored away up
town.
The agent accused him of misrepresent-
ing and denounced both Is thieves. The

STOVE In THE WHEEL.
A Tug Dashes Into the Steamer
Sehome's Guard.
THE BALLAST ISLAND CAMPERS.
Release OF the British steamer Prim-
rose Hill From Quarantine
Notes Along shore.

The heavy fog yesterday morning was
the cause Of serious accident to the
steamer Sehome. The steamer was on her
way in from down Sound. and when of
Salmon bay, about 2 o'clock IN the morn
ing, the lights of small steamer suddenly
appeared close under the port side of the
Sehome, and before anything could be
done to avoid the collision the bow of the
strange craft went crashing through the
guard of the larger vessel, smashing her
wheel house and disabling the port wheel
The unknown steamer. thrown of by the
force of the collision, Immediately backed
away and disappeared in the fog, her mas
ter or crew giving no ineligible answer to
the hail from the Sehome. The shock of
the collision walked up the sleeping pas
sengers on the steamer, and several came
rushing out of their state rooms in alarm,
without waiting TO dress. The excitement
was soon allayed, and the Sehome came on
into port working only one wheel Her
injuries will require some time 10 repair,
and the steamer is laid up at the Oregon
Improvement Company's wharf above the
coal bunkers. The identity of the smaller
steamer, which ran into the Sehome. is
not known. The blame rests upon her. as
she had not used her whistle, while the
Sehome was signaling constantly and pro-
ceeiing with cauti3n

AMUsEMENTs.
Cordray's New Theater.

The talk of the week has been conferred
on the representation of THE Miners
Oath" at Cordray's. Its talismanic power
10 draw large and enthusiastic audiences
every night was again demonstrated by the
crowded house of last evening. The ex-
cellent dramatic company which has con-
tributed so much to the delight and pleas
ure of Seattle people for the last five weeks
Is deserving of unstinted praise and ap-
probation. The voluntary outbursts of ar-
pause which greet the several members In
their characters is only slight indication
Of the estimation in which they are held.
The auditorium performers are excellent
In their various acts, and their efforts are
always characterized by novelty and re-
inement.
Today children's matinee will be held at
80, and tonight the last performance of

TWO ENGINES ASKED.
Suburban Residents Ask for
Protection.
DILEMMA or COMMISSIONERS.
Queen Anne Town and the Eastern End
Of yesier Ask for Chemical En-
CINE Stations.

.What is the FIRE department doing with
their new chemical engines?" asked Mr.
Frank Tgichell Yesterday I'VE Of the
eastern part of the city have been prom
ised an engine-house and an engine TO af-
ford us protection from FIRE, but We haven't
heard much of the proposed move lately.
There was talk of putting an engine-house
on Market street. but as far as can learn,
the matter has been allowed TO slide, and
meanwhile we have no protection from
fire
Last evening Commissioners Faegre and
Foster said in regard 10 the question: The
commissioners are undecided whether TO
put an engine on Market street near the
corner of Yesler avenue or put one some
where in Queen Anne town. There are
calls for engines from both localities. We
had made preparations 10 accommodate
all. and purchased four new chemicals,
but it will be remembered that on recon-
mendation of the board Of public works
the order for two of the engines was can
ceIled by the council. Had the four come
we would have lett the old one at head
quarters and would have placed the new
engines, one at broadway ana terrace
streets, one at the corner of Market street
and Yesler avenue, another in Queen Anne
town and the fourth in the vicinity of De-
pot and Lake streets. Since only two have
come. we are undecided what is the best
thing to do.
zone of the new chemicals that arrived
is now at the Broadway and Terrace street
house, thesold one is at headquarters, Sew
enth and Columbia streets, and the other
new one is still in storage. We are now
celebrating where We had better place
this one We may take the old one from
headquarters and leave only the steam en-
gines there. Then the Market street peo-
pie, as we'll as the Queen Anne quarter,
could have fire protection, but we doubt
the practicability of this movement. The
one at headquarters is. needed as well as
other portions of the city need it.
I'VE can't tell yet, but either Market
street or Queen Anne will have the new
engine now in storage"

CHASE AFTER WATER THIEVES.
Two Young Pirates Give Policemen a
Hard Pull.

Two policemen in quest of water front
thieves had hard chase and long row on
the bay, yesterday, after two of the
fraternity. The chase ended in Bob
Logan, a wharfrat, and Frank Shannon, a
member of the Guilty gang of boy thieves,
being captured and locked up in Jail.
About 3 O'Clock Shannon rowed boat
under Schwabacher's wharf and was met
by Logan. who. to all intents and pur-
poses, was hshing calmly from near the
warehouse. As soon as the boat was near
enough Logan drew his line up and before
the men standing around were aware of
the movement, picked up case of canned
goods and lowered it to Shannon. Then
he dropped in the boat himself, seized the
oars and pulled rapidly out for West
Seattle. u distance of nearly three miles.
Policemen Johnston and Hogle were no.
titled, and speedily got boat from Bud
longs boathouse and put after the thieves,
who were now bending to the oars with a
Will. After two-mile chase the officers
came up with the young pirates, and the
two boats were turned towards Seattle.
The case of canned goods was gone. 1t
had been thrown overheard by the thieves
when they saw escape was impossible.
Logan is short, but a well-built fellow,
and he resisted arrest viciously The Off
GERS threatened TO feed him to the catfish
at the bottom of the bay, and then he quiz
eted down. At the dock he again fought,
and during the scuffle the boy, who had
remained quiet up to this time, took adj
vantage of an opening and struck out for
liberty as fast as his legs could carry him.
He lodged in between cars, around the Sc
attic, Lake Shore d Eastern depot, fol-
lowed by crowd of about hfty men and
boys. He was finally caught by Officer
Jackson who, perspiring freely, asked:
What did you run for? You might
have known you could not get away"
Il didn't want to get away" replied
Shannon. I'm all right. ! Jest wanted
get youse policemen warmed up little,
and make you do little rustling. Youse
fellers have soft job and makes your
money too easy"
Both shannon and Logan have served
terms on the chain-gang for larceny.

BOARD OF WORKS.
Inauguration of System In City
Accounts.

The board Of public works gave notice
yesterday that it viii, hereafter, not pass
any bills which were not accompanied by
requisition issued by the board.
The board entered into lease for the
use of a lot near Jackson and King
whereon TO store water pipe.
Rev. Mr.. McConnachie's petition for a
sidewalk was assented TO.
Ii was announced that only two bids had
been received for stations for the chemical
engines. Mr.. Hebron and Chef Kellogg
will inspect them today.
Petition for grading Dakota street was
reported back by city engineer, with the
comment that only about half the prop
erty-owners had signed it. 1t was referred
TO Mr.. Sanders to strengthen his petition,
as Mr.. Gardner expressed the opinion that
the desire for grading was general.
A discussion took place as TO several ap-
plications for sewers. Ii was always de-
sirable to assent to them even where the
distance was short, as the board desires to
gradually adopt a system. This makes
some trouble in the Lake Union district,
as the intention is to drain down to pro-
posed tunnel running diagonally from the
lake 10 the bay. Some of the sections now
laid seem to run contrary to common
sense, because the tunnel is not there vet,
but when il is built cost of reconstruction
will be saved.
Major Rinehart said that whether the
city adopted Benezette Williams plan or
not some system must be adopted, and he
moved that Mr.. Hebron be committee
OF one TO formulate system which could
be made known to applicants and petitions
be drawn accordingly. The petition of NJ.
NJ. Jones was referred back TO him.
Street Commissioner Alexander was in
structed 10 repair South Eighth street from
Grant TO Weller, as it was impossible just
now. The secretary was instructed to
notify the council that it had acted as it
was case of emergency.
As 70 the petition OF property-owners
on Madison from Division street east, the
street commissioner reported that plank
ing was urgently needed. but the work al
ready in hand would take some time. On
Mr.. Heilbron's motion the petition was
granted, and the work will be done as soon
as possible.
City Engineer Gardner reported cost of
tunneiling Rainier street for the lumber
tramway would be $s232s.
Superintendent of Sewers Schmidt said
he understood that his men were 10 be
paid in scrip; t,he board had authorized
him TO engage men st s. day in cash.
Major Rinehart presented plans for the
attachment to the freboat of the auxiliary
salt water system, and the secretary was
directed to secure bids.
