Nothing was known of the fire beyond the
limits of the town until the next day, owing to
the fact that no operator was at the telegraph
Office. Several persons who desired to send of
dispatches about the fire claim to have hunted
in vain for the operator, and one man became so
indignant that he kicked in the door of the tele-
graph office, but found it vacant, and had to
send his message by mail next day. On Monday
evening the operator refused to send dispatches
away after o'clock when requested to do so.
Men and teams are already at work, and
already the foundations of three new buildings

A TOWNS GREAT LOSS.
Mount Vernon Visited by a
$4,000 Fire.
HERoIsM OF A BOATS CREW
Washington Hotel, Fifteen Stores and
Two Dwellings Destroyed-OnIy
One Building Insured.

The town of Mount Vernon, in skagit county,
was almost entirely destroyed by fire early Mon
day morning. The Washington hotel, fifteen
business houses and two residences were burned
to the ground, and only the utmost vigilance
and the fortunate presence of the steamer Henry
Bailey whose assistance aided so materially to
check the flames, saved the entire business por-
ton of the town from being reduced to ashes.
The boorishness of the telegraph operator there
prevented the report reaching this city earlier.
1t was about 1880 o'clock in the morning when
the entire population of Mount Vernon was
aroused from sluInber by the alarm of fire. and
soon the streets were alive with excited people
hurrying to the scene of danger. The fire
originated in the Washington hotel and
almost before even the inmates could realize
the situation the entire structure was
mass of flames, spreading with remarkable
rspidity. The old wooden buildings burned like
finder boxes, and the fire did its work 80
quickly that but little was saved from the
buildings. The loss aggregated about 10000,
with a comparatively small amount of insur-
ance except on the hotel.
The portion burned was the Oldest business
part of the town, and the residence of D.
Storrs, which was swept away, was the first
dwelling erected in the place. The fire oc-

Hit with a Chunk of Wood.

August Neber appeared in Justice Neagle's
court yesterday as the prosecuting witness
against Edward Ziebarth, who was charged
with assault and battery. The defendant had
taken Neber into his home in South Seattle and
helped him along, but on Friday last they
quarreled over the chopping of certain wood,
and from words they drifted to blows. Ziebarth
hit Nebsr with q big stick of wood and the
latter chased the former with an Ak. The
justice fined Ziebarth $40 and costs. The de-
fendant was not satisfied with the decision and
put up 500 cash bail and appealed the case to
the superior court. Neber 10 said to be relative
OF Neebe, the convicted Chicago anarchist now
serving fifteen year term in the Illinois state
penitentiary. The defendant had been charged
before Justice Won Tobel with assault with
deadly weapon and was discharged on account
of insufficient evidences.

and . militia man is rarely to be seen The
miners have lost their feeling of uneasiness and
expect no sftack. They are all, however,
violently opposed 70 the militia being removed.
Superintendent Parker. in conversation with q
PosT-IErELLI6EscKR correspondent yester-
day, said: Things are running smooth
ly now, aad our output is being
greatly increased. Yesterday we mined 1s4
tons and today in the neighborhood OF 30. Our
miners have got down 70 business now and are
making good money. We are well satisfied with
them, but would like fifteen more, and will give
the old miners until the end ST the week to take
advantage OF this offer. and If they do not ac-
cept will be obliged TO get new men.
Eyes, we are working some OF the old miners
They are gradually returning Many of the new
ones are DESTROYS of bringing their families
here, and the company is considering the ques-
ton of building houses for them. The comfort
of the single men is being looked out for with
good brick houses. ETC.
"Should the militia remain here?"
Decidedly so. Circumstances force me to
think that the old miners would resort to force
OF arms if the soldiers were Withdrawn. inis
calm Is only superficial. Gilman should be a
military camp for six months. OF course it
would be next to an impossibility TO keep the
national guardsmen away from their business
80 long but II q few regulars were sent here
their presence would have a beneficial effect"
Those of the strikers interviewed by Posi-
INTELLIGENcER correspondent say that Superin-
tendent Parker will not get fifteen men to return
TO work as long as the present schedule of pay
is in force. In their conversation they depre-
cate violence and insist that no trouble is to
take place They announce their intention Of
staying on the ground, however.
The miner who was quietly evicted from COM
pany property yesterday has taken up his resi-
dence in the town. Little is said by the miners
on the subject His name is Peter Weisicker,
not John Drylie, as stated yesterday.
Guard-lines and the "dead line are to be
hereafter drawn tighter. Superintendent Parker
announces his intention of keeping every one
of its property whose presence is not agreeable
to the company.
Captain Fife and Lieutenant Howell, Of c
company, today paid visit to Newcastle.

Tie Color of Trout.

The color OF o trouts back depends
on tho color OF the bottom OF tho river,
according to tho American Angler, but
tho trout which grow rapidly differ
greatly in spots and color from those
which grow slowly and thrive badly,
and middle-agcd trout differs in color
from an aged trout. Speaking general
ly, tho young, ncalthy. fast-growing fish
will have silvcry slidos, white belly and
plenty OF well-defined spots. Tho poor
ly-fed fish viii have few or no spots, q
drap belly and muddy-ycllow sides. The
old trout will BIO much tho samo in ap-
pearance, only moro so, and will be par
ticuiarly lank and large headed. This
accounts Tor those trout which have ac-
cess 10 salt watcr boing brighter and
moro beautiful than those which do not.

g1an economist, pronounceS this scheme
an absurdity and says that in case of an
attempt to realize it England would
seize all the Dutch colonies before Ger
many could prevent it, but he admits
that Germany will even tually seizo Hol-
land and the delta of the Rhine
Those who have studied tho question
are moro inclined to the belief that tho
tate of Holland, Belgium and Luxcm-
burg will depend on tho result of tho
noxt war between Germany and France.
If Germany is victorious she will annex
thcm all and another slice of Franco.
Should tho Germans DO badly beaten
Franco would seize Holland. Belgium,
Luxembourg, Rhcrish, Prussia and
Alsace Lorraine and realize Napoleon's
dream OF making the Rhine tho frontier
between tho two countries. France had
a portion Of Rhenish Prussia before and
Marshal Noy and other famous soldiers
wcro born in that section.
Germany undoubtedly intends to
annex Holland at tho first favorable op-
portunity, but she also wants the
Baltic provinces of Russia, which are
German in race and language, and tho
German portion OF Austria. But none
OF the schemes for tho separation OF
Europe can be carried out without war
and the wiscst man in Europe can not
predict what tho result of the next
great war may be. Tho condition Of
| affairs produced by tho death of tho
King Of Holland removes one OF the
obstacles which stood in tho way Of
German ambition. and it may be safely
assumed that plans are now being pre-
| pared for decisive action when tho right
moment arrives. Little Queen Will
hclmina will hardly wear tho crown of
Holland long.

Shooting candle through o two-inch
solid plank without disturbing it in the
least is boing outdone by dynamite,
which is so quicl, in its action that a
tendor green leaf can DO compressed in

United States Torpedo Works was to
place some leaves between two hoavy,

would do in forcing the iron pieces to-

Just being exploded in tho open air that
one OF the iron pieces was driven down
upon tho other quick enough to catch an
exact and complete impression Of tho

A Strange Mohammedtn Legend and g
Stranger Buddhist Tradition.
The many curious legends concern
ing Adam would lack in completeness
were we to omit giving an account of
the Mohammedan superstitions rcgar d
ing an impression, supposed TO boz foot
print, found in the solid rock on Adams
Peak, or Mount Samantha high
mountain in Coylon. According to tho
Mohammedan legend. Adam. after tho
fall and expulsion from the garden,
was taken by an angel to tho top Of
this mountain, whore his minds eyo
saw panorama Of all tho ills that
should atflict mankind. Those har-
rowing sights wore such weight on the
man, who, Notwithstanding his sin in
the garden, was yet n good man, that
his foot left its imprint on the solid
rock; his tears forming lake, both
tho print and the lake being still visi-
bio.
The Buddhists havo their own legend
OF tho Sripada or Sacred Footprint, ac-
cording TO which Buddha, ascending to
Heaven, left the impression where last
he touched tho earth on the rocky sides
OF Samantha. The Brahmans also and
tho Chinese have their legends, and for
moro than 1000 years all have wor-
shipped in their own way around tho
gigantic imprint Tho footprint itsolf
is 81 feet By 211 foot; the site in rocky
basin; much faith and lively imagina-
ton bong necessary to aid ono in dis
covering very great likeness OF tho
outlines to that of human foot. To
perform pilgrimage to this shrine. and
to lay an Offering upon it, is to the Budd-
hist what visit to Mecca is to Ma
homctan. Tradition tells us that the
iron chains fastened in the rocks TO give
safety to the pilgrims in crossing rocky
canyons near tho Scred Footprint were
put thcro by Alexander the Great St
Louis Republic
