THE TOLT FIREBUG
Ex-Justice Parry Is Alleged to
Be the Man.
HE is ARRESTED FOR ARSON.
some of His Neighbors Claim He Fired
His saloon and the Good
Templars' Hall.

Johr s Parry, of Tolt, quite well known in
this county, was arrested last evening on
warrant sworn out by Justice Won Tobel, charg-
ing him with arson. Parry came IN from Io,t
yesterday and the warrant was served on him.
He was allowed his liberty on his own recognlz-
ance until this morning, when he will go before
Justice Won Tobel and give bonds for his hear
ing before the justice some time during the lat
ter part of the week Last evening be registered
at the Snoqualmie hotel
Parry is a young man about Is years OF age,
anu Tor the past three years mas run Saloon
and grocery store at Tolt. For time he was
justice of the peace OF Tolt precinct. On sep
TENDER IL his saloon and store were burned 10
the ground, and his neighbors, so it is claimed,
suspected him OF having set them on IRE Later
the Good Templars' hall was destroyed by fire,
and again Parry was suspected OF incendlarlsm.
A week ago several persons who reside AT
Tolt called on Prosecuting Attorney Miller
and laid before him their suspicious. They saio
they had ample cause TO suspect that Parry nao
set fire TO his store and saloon IN order 10 draw
the insurance, and they claimed that there was
sufficient evidence to convict him OF burning
the Good Templars' building. Not wishing 10
act too hastily Mr.. Miller sent his deputy, Mr..
Mcbride, TO 1olt to secretly hunt up the eVl-
oen1e against Parry. He returned, and COM
plant was drawn up. upon which Justice Won
Tobel issued the warrant, the complainant oelnS
John II. Balsha, of Tolt. sheriff Woolery went
to Tolt on business connected with his office
Saturday, and he had with him the warrant, but
he failed to find Parry, and he returned to seattle
without having made the arrest. Yesterday
Parry came TO town, and be was promptly placed
under arrest.
Parry claims that he will be able to prove
himself clear of suspicion OF incendiarism IN
connection with the recent fires. He says that
the charges are trumped up by persons who are
his rivals in business and who seek to force him
TO leave the town. He also says that the state
ments of the persons who called on Mr.. Miller
that the citizens of Tolt could not get any insur-
ance on their buildings owing to the recent FREE
quent incendiary fires is untrue. The case will,
no doubt, prove an interesting one, and prom
Ises to be hard fought.

GILMAN STRIKE OFF.
Mine Workers Decide to De-
clare Ii Off.
THE AeITAToRs DIDN'T VOTE.
Meeting OF Miners at the Camp Yester-
day Resulted In Favor of Re-
turn to Labor.

A report received from Gilman last night an
nounces that the strike in the coal mines of the
Seattle Coal and Iron Company, inaugurated on
March II. has been formally declared of
by the strikers themselves, who, after tight OF
seven months, find themselves practically with
out sinews of war, while the corporation they
have been fighting so bitterly is operating its
property steadily and getting out from 400
10 $50 tons of coal day. The news of the strike
being declared of has been received here only
through one source, viz the officials OF
the Seattle Coal and Iron Company,
O dispatch having been sent to Wesley
Wilson, general manager, by J. L Parker, the
Gilman mine superintendent. This dispatch
GILMAN, Oct. II, 1891.
Wesley wilson, Manager Seattle Coal and Iron
Company, Seattle: At a properly convened meet
strike was officially declared off, have just
heard the news t5.40 y. m.l. The meet
ing is just over This meeting was ar
and YVES postponed from then until
today to oblige the radicals. The latter, fve In
number. purposeiy kept away, but In any case
Those who voted were unanimous, with one ex-
eeption, TO declare it off. J. l. Parker,
superintendent
The backbone of the strike was broken last
May, when the Seattle Coal and Iron Com
pany followed the example of the
non union men to work in place of the strikers
The troubles that have followed are familiar TO
all who read the daily papers. 1t has always
been known that a majority OF the
miners were at least fairly we'll satisfied with
their condition, and that the strike was the re-
suit of the agitation OF a few dis
affected men. One by one men with
families. finding starvation staring them in the
face, have returned TO work, until about thirty
OF them arc now in the slope If
the report from Gilman is true, it
may be taken for granted that the men
who are anxious to work have thrown off the
yoke of the men who bad grievances aud who
have hitherto done the agitating that has main
tanned the strike.
The company has announced that it will take
back every man that gave satisfaction before the
striker provided he signs the annual contract,
but that the agitators will not be taken back
under any consideration.
The strike has cost the company a great deal
OF money. 1t has also put the county to a great
deal of expense But the large number of
miners who have been idle for seven
months, and who have in many in
stances been almost reduced to starvation,
are the heaviest losers of all. Seven months,
that might have been remunerative to them,
have drained their resources TO the lowest ebb
and they have no better means of making it
back than they ever bad.

authorizing public building at Seattle viii go
before congress with considerable prestige, as
the Senate passed such bill in the last congress
and the House comm ttee on public buildings
recommended concurrence in this action.
Taken altogether, the chances for success dur
Ing the coming session may be considered first
class; at least, such is the impression in the
supervising architects office, the headq uarters
for all such information
The friends OF Tacoma are not letting any
grass grow under their feet in the march on the
treasury. Like Seattle, many good arguments
Will be adduced to show why the government
should own its property in that city. One
claim, at least, however, made before the last
congress, must be omitted, the census having
proven that Tacoma is not the ''most populous
city in the state of Washington" But, as said,
good and sufficient reasons can be given for put
ting up a public building in that town. The
government, it Is urged, has large interests GEN.
tering there, and remarkable growth is shown
In many directions. The postal receipts, con-
sidered at the department an unfaiing index of
the commercial condition of a place, are an
nualiy jumping upwards by thousands OF dol
lars. The United States court needs ''local
hsbitation," and it also does an immense bust
ness, it is said; whether for veal or woe is not
developed.
1t is urged by Spokane people that the needs
OF government building in that city are press
ing, and the rapid growth of the city will
greatly enlarge these needs within the next few
years. Their demands, too, are a little more
moderate, as they will be content with a struc-
ture costing $780, eco. In behalf of Spokane the
claim Will be made that Eastern and Western
Washington are two distinct geographical re-
gions, and Spokane, as the metropolis and rail-
way center of the first named, is entitled to
public building. In addition, il will be urged
in favor OF this city next session, what could not
be claimed before, that courthouse as well as
postotfice is required.
Lastly, Waila Walia viii enter the lists to dis
pute for any favors to be granted to Eastern
Washington. Here, too, the claim will be made
that courthouse well as postotfice must be
provided. The demand is urgent for
public building, it is asserted, for
the convenience aud conduct of the
public business and the safety of public rec
ords and property. Combined with this the fact
will be insisted upon that IL is the most import
ant monetary ami business center OF the vast
region east of the Cascade mountains and south
of the Sauk river.
Here we have the four prominent applicants
in the state for public building, together with
the principal arguments which will be offered
in behalf of each, and it only remains to be said
that all should have their efforts crowned with
success, a. Seattle will without doubt.
