him and the medical men assigned
all that remained Of him by anticipa-

there was no hope, and Georgia would
not believe them. She pitched her tent

Harbor Limo Commfssion to Receive
Help From Federal Government.
Yesterday Professor T. C. MendenhalI, super
geodetic survey, left for Port Townsend. There
he will take the coast survey steamer, the Patter-
son, to Alaska, where he will continue his work.
Before going, however, he formally agreed
with Colonel w. +. Prosscr, chairman of the
harbor line commission to detail two of the
coast survey engineers, Captain Pratt and Cap
tain Gilbert to assist the commission in its sur
veys of the harbors. He will also put at the
disposal of the commission one of the coast sur
vey launches either the larry Not or the
Helen, now In Eagle harbor-and two tide
gauges, one of which is now in Alaska and the
other In San Francisco
Ex-Governor Eugene Semple, q member Of the
commission, said yesterday: ssThese engineers,
who are not only highly educated in the special
knowledge we want, but also men of long ex-
perience in such work, win be able to render US
great assistance in our labors. They will be in
the pay of the federal government, to which
they will make their usua. monthly reports; but
at the same time we shall have the benefit of
their assistance. We shall have to employ fewer
engineers, and thus We shall be saved consider
able expense. / estimate that the saving in
their salaries and by the use OF the launch viii
amount to at least 81 900 year. But of course
the most Important matter is their valuable help
in our surveys of the harbors OF the Sound.
1.-THE tide gauges, which are automatic in
their action, will be placed at two different points
before the extremely low tides OF June come in.
We shall then take observations and determine
what is not now exactly known-the tides of the
Sound"

Serious Results Of False Alarm Duo

Serious Results Of . False Alarm Duo
to steamer Race.
A false ire alarm, turned Ia yesterday at 12:45
p m, from box l6, at the corner Of Front aud
Columbia streets, brought out the fire depart
ment and resulted in the team attached to hose
wagon No. 8 running away. The wagon was up
set and VIII Cantrell, the driver, and Lieutenant
Fred Zahn were seriously injured
The team was running down Main street at
high rate of speed, while large crowd stood at
the corner Of Commercial street, watching the
race between the steamers Bailey Gatzert and
Greyhound. Just as the team was about to turn
the corner, an approaching car on Commercial
street scared them and they SHE'D OF, darting
straight across the street into the
crowd. The wagon struck the electric
light pole at the corner. breaking
OF the rails on the wagon, smashing the light
globe on the pole and throwing Driver Cantrell
out on the sidewalk. Cantrell held to the reins
and was dragged about twenty feet further
alongside the hind wheel of the wagon before
letting 80. Mart Gallagher. teamster who was
in the crowd, seized the horses by the brides
and J. D. Hertzman also grabbed one Of them.
In spite of this they dashed on for Mt least
twenty feet and upset the wagon, throwing
Zahn, who was occupying the seat with the
driver, to the pavement The crowd soon sue
ceeded In stopping the team, and Cantrell and
Zahn were taken into Guys drug store. They
were both hurt internally and Cantrelrs trou-
eerS were cut through over the leIt KNEE Wnele
his leg had caught under the wheel of the
wagon. His knee was badly bruised ana the
right leg of his trousers was ripped almost the
entire length; he was also hurt around the
hips and across the back. Zahn was not cut at
all, but complained Of injuries on the body.
Both men were placed in hack and taken TO
their rooms, where they were attended by Dr.
Askam, who pronounced their injuries serious
but not dangerous. At last accounts last night
they were both resting quietly and were not suit
fering any severe pain How the crowd all es-
capped uninjured when the team ran into 1t 10
mystery. Aside from the injury of these two
men but little damage was done.
J. Cook, fireman of engine No. 1, got his foot
caught in the coal box as the engine was crosS-
ing Front street on Columbia, and before he
could extricate it he was jerked on and had his
leg considerably bruised.
The false alarm was turned in by Julius Red
del, manager of Hyams, Pauson & Co. Mr..
Reddell said that the dense smoke arising from
the racing boats and the constant whistiing
created the impression that there was FIRE and
some one rushed into the store asking for key
to the fire alarm box; and that he Immediately
rushed out and sent in an alarm.

TACOMA. April sl.-No race on the Sound has
created so much interest and brought out such
large crowd as did the Grey bound Gstxert race
today. The Greyhound led in the start by about
length and hail. but at Browns Poin, the
Gstxert had passed her and was leading by
twenty seconds, at Robinson's point she was COO
yards ahead, and when word was telegraphed
from Seattle that the boats had finished neck
and neck. the Gatxert people claimed the race
by virtue OF the Greyhound's lead at the stsrt
The starting time OF the return race was tele-
graphed as being las p. m. Another throng
IVES at The wharf to see the flyers finish The
result was disappointing for the Gatxert
whooners-up Their boat trailed two minutes
in the Greyhounds wake, the latter arriving
at 3 -, o'clock.
The Gatzert people claim that the return race
was lost on account of improper fuel being used
Captain Hatch is anxious for another brush, snd
says, II the Greyhound is willing, the Gatzert
will race again today.
