silver Denies Responsibility.

NEW YORK, July 5.-John S. Silver states
that he has adjusted and paid his Indebt-
edness to the Washington National bank,
and in connection with the matter says
the report that he controlled the executive
committee and board of directors of the
American Land and Trust Company, and
is therefore responsible for the failure OF
that company. is absolutely false. He is
not responsible for loans made by the
trust company to Belden & McTighe, who
had a contract for the construction of the
Decatur. Chesapeake & New Orleans rail-
road. Silver denies that he was connected
with Simmons, Classen & Pell in their
dealings with the Sixth National bank.

BIG BALLARD BLAZE.
Single Mill of Porter Bros. &
Codd Destroyed.
LOSS sI5. 900. INSURANCE So. 900.
Narrow Escape of the Big Stimson Mill
The FooIhardy Deed of En-
gineer Wilson.

The Porter Bros & Gage Single Mill Co q
mill, at Ballard, was burned to the ground yes-
teriay about noon, with loss TO the owners of
sl5,ot1. Since the compsnys frst INCORPORATION
the mill has changed hands, and was owned by
Porter Bros d Codd. No one was in the mill
when the fire started, and the IRE was not dis
covered until some little time after the flames
had gained Roadway. Immediately dozen or
more men rushed into the mill and endeavored
to extinguish the flames, which were now shoot
ing out hereely IRON the engine-room aud roof,
bat their efforts were unayailing, and the heat
soon forced them back to land.
Chief Engineer Henry Wilson. of the mill, had
500 worth of tools stored in the engine room,
and great excitement was caused By his rushing
through the flames in wild effort to save his
property. The mill was built out on piles over
Salmon bay, and when the flames closed in
around the engineer all thought that he would
be burned But he made his way 10 the other
end OF the burning structure, and leaped into
the bay and swan ashore. His nose and face
was blistered with heat. and the hair on the
back OF his head was singed but otherwise he
was not seriously hurt. The tools were lost
The Stinson mill, valued AZ $4,000, is situated
only one hundred feet south of the mill that
burned and the favorable wind is all that saved
IL, and perhaps the entire town, from burning
10 the northeast OF the burning mill is the resi-
denee OF Captain g. W. Lake, the boiler works of
p. Hopkins, several small dwellings and the
steamer Novelty, which is on the ways The
wind drove the sparks and flying einders d.
reetly on these buildings and the boat and
houses were many times on fire. Il was only
due 10 the untiring efforts OF the fremen that
the steamer and residences were saved
To reach the mill one must cross deep
guieh, and the fremen were thus delayed about
twenty-five minutes. When they did reach the
mill they were too late, for their six streams of
water had no perceptible effect OF the flames.
The mill was insured for 5000 in the Home In
surance Company, OF Seattle.
The mill turned out what is known as planned
or split shingles. and had capacity of 10000
shingles per day and gave employment to TWEEN
ty-five men. The origin of the IRE is merely
matter OF conjecture. Manager Harrison of the
mill, alleges that there had been no fire in the
buildings since Saturday noon, still be does not
think that il was OF incendiary origin. He is of
the opinion that the fire was probably caused by
spontaneous combustion among materials in the
eugine-room.

Cordray's New Theater.

"Not Guilty" will be presented tonight for the
first time al Cordray's. Written by Watts
Phillips and produced on the boards OF the old
Queens theater, in London, over thirty years
ago, this drama still survives to delight theater
goers by its pictures OF patient heroism, refined
sentiment, humorous incidents and thrilling
situations.
1t impresses the moral that 'shonesty is the
best policy strongly on all who witness ii, no
matter how skillfully the wrongdoer plays his
part Ii teaches that not all who are branded
with crime are wholly bad: that still
some good lies hidden where it only
awaits the opportunity and favorable environ
ments to develop and gradually restore lost
manhood and self-respect. Ii shows that long
continued practice OF evil creates demon from
whose life not only all goodness but all good in
tentions have fed. Ii conveys the truth that
the possessor OF virtuous principles is the best
friend in dire necessity, and that the doing of q
simple act of kindness sometimes brings back
one hundred-fold to the doer. The characters
outlined form an interesting gallery OF studies
from real life, and are well cast for production
by the Cordray company. The auditorium pro-
gTamme for the week has several interesting
speeialties

TAcoMA.s ASSESSMENT CASES.
Conflict Between the Old and New City
Charter Laws.

Conuict Between the Old ana new lily
Charter Laws.
TACOMA, July 81 Special. City Attor-
ney Milligan announces that he will APP
peal the city assessment cases which were
instituted under the old charter and re-
garding which Judge Allyn has rendered
decision TO the effect that the city can
not collect any taxes whatever. Under
the old charter assessments for street i'm
provement were made according to the
abutting property. Thus a ten-acre tract
would be assessed for its full valuation,
for its entire extent, while abutting lots
would be assessed according to their 'front.'
age only. Many suits resulted, acre tract
owners refusing to pay heavy assessments.
Temporary injunctions secured by prop
erty-owners in these cases have now been
made permanent by Judge Allyn's deci-
sion. and the city has not realized a cent
in taxes collected to pay for the expensive
street grades. Judge Allyn's opinion in
the matter has not yet been filed.
1t is held to be unjust for the city to
open one or more streets through acre
tracts and each time a new street is put
through the tract to assess it for its full
valuation. Under the new charter the
assessments are made according to the
frontage on the street graded.

on arm of the Sound. An article in the
record states that the road shall have its
terminus on some bay on the Pacific coast,
which can mean no other than Gray's
harbor, and glance at the map will con-
firm this supposition. Much interest is
already being manifested by the various
towns on the north side of Gray's harbor.

descend. The building of this road, al
though mere logging road so far as con-
structed. is thought to have much signiii-
canoe. The Port Townsend Southern, or
another name for the Union Pacific. is al
ready within few miles of Shelton.
There IS every reason to believe that the
two roads above named will connect at
Shelton. or in other words the Union
Pacific is headed for Gray's harbor.

Two loggers, T. J. Martin and John Ross re-
ported yesterday that one of their comrades,
John 0glebee, who had come 10 town 70 spend

for the ride across Lake Washington TO Kirk
land From there they intended to walk
10 Tolt and so TO work again The men took
seats in the bow OF the steamer and remained
there until two miles out The lake was quite
rough from heavy wind, and becoming little
seasick oglebee left the bow aud started TO walk
along the unprotected outer guard of the
steamer 20 the stern. His companions did not
hear a sound, and in fact did not miss him until
Kirkland was reached. They called him, and
receiving no response, they hunted all over the
boat, but he was not on board. They then re-
turned 10 Seattle and reported that they be-
lieved he must have fallen overheard and
drowned.
The missing man was 5 years of age and IN
married. He has been in Washington about six
years and has followed logging continuously.
He has q brother living somewhere in Manitoba
and sister in Chicago, whose name and address

WARNING TO SMALL CRAFT.
Canadian Customs Laws and Thei
Rigid Application.

The recent seizure of a small boat from Seattle
by the Canadian customs authorities, and the
rigor with which the boatmen were examined,
suggested to Mr.. L W. Myers, the United States
consul at Victoria, while on his visit here
TO give few words of advice.
sit seems not to be generally understood"
said Mr.. Myers. ''that the Canadian law as to
registration of boats is quite irrespective OF ton
mage. One object is Identification. suggest,
therefore, that while the United States laws do
not require registration OF small boats, the pecu-
liar relations existing between the Sound ports
and colonial ports might warrant local system
of record and numbering SO that the Canadian
authorities might be readily satisfied.
"The presence of a small craft without papers
in port particularly attractive to smugglers is
sufficient 10 justify suspicion. There is no
trouble with the Canadian authorities so long
as the regulations are observed. but they are
both quick and memorable in their punishment
of breaches OF the law"
