THE WATER FRONT.

The steamer Sehome colided with the steamer
Fairhaven at Sehome Thursday, breaking hole
into the latter steamers galley, scattering her
dishes and kitchen utensils promiscuously over
the schemes deck and soaring several China
men who were engaged about the cook room so
badly that they almost leaped overheard
The Sehome was backing out on her Seattle
trip and the Fairhaven was coming in 1t was
quite foggy and it is probable the captain of the
Falrbayen did not realize that he was so close
to the dock, as it is claimed by those who were
on the Sehome that he did not whistle-even for
landing, though his boat was within a few
hundred feet of the wharf
When the captain of the Sehome saw the
danger, lie gave the signal to pull ahead, but it
was too late, for just she was brought to a
standstill the Fairhaveu struck the Sehome's
stern, which crashed into her little aft of
amidships, breaking quite hole in her house
fortunately, however the boats struck oblidue-
ly and glanced, so that comparatively little dam
age was done to either Had they struck square,
~ with the force with which the Fairhayen was
moving, the results would undoubtedly have
been very serious to both, ii indeed, one or the
other had not been sunk. The Cinnamon were
not aware OF the approaching danger and they
certainly must have been terribly frightened to
lind the hui of another steamer intruding upon
their narrow quarters. One of the employees of
the boat said their antics could not be edualed
by Indians engaged in the ghost dance

DITTON GOT HIS GUN.
He Went to His Room to Get
His Weapon.
AND THEN THE SHOT WAS HEARD
Important Testimony for the State i'm
the Railroad Avenue Shooting
Case-ReIuctant Witness.

The doctors having come to the conclu-
sion that Frank Gilmore, who was shot by
William Ditton January 10, will recover,
Ditton was taken from the county Jail yes
terday and arraigned before Justice Won
Tobel on a charge of assault with intent
to kill. The hearing resulted in Ditton
being held in $1,000 bonds to appear for
trial in the superior court. He could not
furnish bail, and went to prison.
The testimony of Peter Thrall, l5-year-
old boy, who lives with Ditton over the
Caynga saloon, block away from the
Adelaide saloon where the shooting oc-
Cured, was interesting. He said:
Me and Ditton live together, and about
O'Clock in the morning of January Is I
heard voice as if u crowd were fighting
in the Cayuga saloon, down stairs. In a
little while Ditton came into the room
and asked:
g. Where's the gun?
81 did not want him to have trouble,
and so told him didn't know. Then he
said:
Il know where it is.
.He went behind the bureau and got a
shotgun. | gave cartridge, it was
singlc-barrelled gun, and he put the cart
ridge III and went away. About a minute
afterward heard a shot"
The testimony OF Harry Slack, barkeeper
at the Cayuga saloon, was to the effect
that Elmore and the crowd with him were
highway robbers. He testified:
About half past O'Clock in the morn
ing Frank Gilmore, John Connors, Frank
Choler and man named Finnigan came
into the saloon and Connors walked up to
the bar, put revolver before my face and
said:
You put up the drinks
II gave them all drinks and they STAYED
there for half an hour making me pour
out the whisky. About this time Dftton
came in the door. There was a little talk
and then the men started i'll to beat him.
Ditton ran away and the men went out of
the saloon"
From other witnesses it was shown that
the four toughs went directly to the AIDE
laide saloon, and Elmore was fighting
with an empty wine bottle when Ditton
arrived with the shotgun. The barrel of
the gun was poked through the door and
Elmore was shot in the side. He sank to
the floor with groan and said. I" I'm
shoti -
Dltton was not put on the stand
John Motif, barkeeper of the Adelaide
saloon, who had hand in the row during
which the shooting occurred, was
sworn in behalf of the state. He
eyaded every question put to him
by Assistant District Attorney Cald-
well and plainly showed himself
to be in sympathy with those who figured
in the shooting. The prosecution could
not get him to divulge anything. After
the hearing had ended Justice Won Tobel
said:
81 ought to have sent that witness TO
Jail for contempt of court. He deserved
it.1

RUSH FOR JUCH SEATS.
A veritabIe Boom Which Promises q
Most Successful season in This City.

The prospects for the success of the
Emma Juch opera season at the Seattle
opera-house Monday, February 2, are most
flattering, if the energy and enthusiasm
displayed by the purchasers of seats at the
sale yesterday morning can be taken as any
indication. There was a large crowd pres
ent long before 10 O'Clock, the advertised
hour for the opening of the sale. The Gull
ture, wealth and fashion of Seattle were
largely represented, and the eagerness dis
played for the possession of choice seats
augurs well for a most magnificent recep-
tion TO the artists of the Emma Juch Com
pany at the initial performance, Monday,
February2 2.
The repertoire announced is very choice
one, including two of Richard Wagner's
greatest compositions, .Lohengrin" and
''Tannhauser,n with Juch in the title role
OF both operas. Verdi's "Rigoletto," and
Bizets charming Carmen" will also be
given during the engagement. The COM
pany will come direct to this city from
Portland by special train of nine cars, con-
sisting of three Pullman sleepers, one day
coach and five baggage cars. The total
amount realized foots up the snug sum of
81 500.

CLEVER CHARACTER SKETCHES.
Miss Grimm Entertains the Students of
the University.

Last evening Miss Lucia b. Griffin, the
well-known character impersonator, gave
one of her delightful entertainments to the
students of the university in the uniyers-
ity chapel. She is remarkably pretty
young woman, petite blonde, with regu-
lar features, clear complexion, handsome
eyes and perfect teeth. In addition to the
charm of her personal presence she is gift
ed with an unusual power of impersona-
ton, which makes her character sketches
or Rotations in costume very entertain
ing. The little girl, the young lady with
her fine airs, the elderly matron and all
her other creations were greeted with the
heartiest applause.
That she is an uncommonly clever act
ress is shown by the fact that last year she
played the part of Sally in Neil Burgess
"County Fair, which had such success

Mr.. Martin Monohon, the well-known
pioneer from whom the station of Mono
hon near his home takes its name. is still
laid up from the effects of very serious
injury received two weeks ago Yesterday.
On January 8 Mr.. Monohon was telling
tree when it suddenly fell, catching Mr..
Monohon by the left leg at the thigh. pin-
ioning it against fallen log so tightly that
1t required almost superhuman effort to
extricate 1t. Had the tree fallen little fur
ther down instead of lodging as it did Mr..
Monohon would have been instantly killed.
Luckily no bones were broken and Mr..
Monohon's many friends in all parts of
county will be glad TO learn that though he
is badly bruised he is convalescing.

The Babe Found at Smiths Cove, a
Siwash.

The mystery concerning the body of the
child found Thursday afternoon i'm a
trunk north of Smiths cove, was solved
yesterday forenoon by Coroner Horton.
Instead of finding there the body of a
white child with hole in its head, as
reported by the excited boys who dis
covered it, he found the mummified remains
of an Indian boy, who had been decentIy
inferred for years, in accordance with
Siwash burial rites.
In the trunk with the remains were
foundNnew pair of pantaloons carefully
folded, strings of Indian pearls and new
five-shot pistol.
Coroner Horton found it unnecessary to
hold an inquest and the remains were
buried near where they were found, by the
undertakers who accompanied the coroner.

In the RdiitcGg Age of December 81 was pub
Ished a preliminary summary of track laid in
the different states during 1890, i'll which the
total was placed at 6,0s1 miles. Since then addi-

The work OF obtaining complete statistics of

one, and it is possible that a few other changes
may eventually be found necessary. Following
