A JOINT COMMITTEE.
Proposition for an Inquiry Into the
Miners Troubles.

As q result of the executive session OF the
Western Central Labor Union Wednesday night,
1t was decided to request the Board OF Trade,
Chamber of Commerce, board of aldermen and
house of delegates of the city council each to
appoint a committee of one to act in conjunc-
ton with the citizens committee of five
appointed at the msss-meeting some
time ago to make impartial inves-
tigation regarding the responsibility for
the shooting at Franklin. The union feels
that the grand jury evaded the task of giving
this information 10 the public, and that this is
the only course left for them. Accordingly Sec
rotary James l. Barrie last evening addressed a
copy OF the following letter TO each of those
bodies referred to:
At the meeting of the Western Central Labor
Union Wednesday evening Ii was decided to
request your honorable body 10 appoint COM
mittee of one 10 act in conjunction with the
committee of FIVE appointed by the mass-meet-
ing OF citizens, to lock into the trouble now ex-
listing between the miners at Franklin and the
0regan Improvement Company, and as TO what
precipitated said trouble. Mr.. J. T. Ronald,
chairman of the committee, concurs in the de-
sire of the Western Central Labor Union, and
has called a meeting for Saturday afternoon at
O'Clock, at his Office, Pioneer building. 1t il
the wish of the Western Central Labor Union
that the whole matter should be thoroughly
ventiia ted by body of representative citizens,
as they deem that the only way in which the
miners side of the trouble can be placed before
the public.

FELL FROM THE BRIDGE.
Brave Rescue of Mother and Her
Child,

Last evening Mrs Thomas May was walking
along the railroad track near Grant street bridge
with her two little girls, when one of them
stumbled and fell off into the water below The
tidi was high and the water about twenty feet
deep, but Mrs May, who is q large woman.
weighing over 200 pounds, did not hesitate q
second but plunged in after her child. She
caught the little one and then grasped Pile
which stood close at hand. Alexander 0sier,
who was returning home from his work, ran to
the rescue of the mother and daughter. He
slid down the pile, caught the little girl and
shouted for help. crowd soon gathered
and rope was brought and lowered
and the little one drawn up. An attempt
was made to hoist the mother in the
same manner. but she was too heavy. little
boat was then brought to the scene, but as there
was danger of cspsizing it, Mr.. Osier held Mrs.
Mays hands, and she was lowed safely ashore.
After landing the thankful mother was so over
loved that she embraced Mr.. osier, and very en-
phatically expressed her thanks for his timely
aid.
Mrs May lives in a shanty near this end OF the
Grant street bridge. She has four little girls,
the two younger ones being twins. She was re-
turning home with the two little ones after
having delivered some clothes which she had
washed. Her husband left her about two weeks
ago to support herself and four children.
Last Saturday evening Mr.. osier helped to res
cue q drunken man who fell into the water near
the same place.

VISIT TO THE MINES.
County Commissioners Make q
Special Inspection.
A JUSTICE TO BE APPOINTED
Commissioner Gasch Reports All Quiet
at Black Diamond and Franklin
No Trouble Feared.

he board OF county commissioners returned
yesterday morning from trip 10 the Black Dia-
mond and Franklin mines, where they were all
oay wednesday investigating the present situa-
ton OF the strike. They found everything As
satisfactory as could be expected. At Black
diamond everybody was happy because the
strike problem had been satisfactorily solved
At Franklin the condition of all parties con-
cerned, while not SO pleasing as at Black Dis-
mond, was as good A. possible under the existing
circumstances. Speaking of the result OF his
Trip 70 the mines Chairman Fred Gasch SAID,
last evening:
"we were very agreeably surprised at the man
ner in which we found affairs at Black Diamond.
Everybody was at work and, different from tho
solemn faces worn q few weeks ago, faces OF the
men, women and children were wreathed In
pleasant smiles They were happy because they
saw peace, quiet and success in the future
There ia only one deputy sheriff at Black Dla-
mond, and since his services are not needed ne
viii Immediately be removed.
While at Franklin we went up to the mines
and visited the negroes. We found them lot
OF muscular. happy, good fellows; disagreeable
only when I'm Ter the influence of liquor. They
are especially jovial the day we were there be-
cause 1t was pay day.
ION the flats we saw and talked with the
white strikers. They are not very happy, and
can not be expected to be for they are not work
the saloon on the fiat. They said that the ne
groes came down from the mines for good
time, and when drinking were dangerous be-
cause they are rough and do not care what they
do.
"Mr. Corey, the mine superintendent, told me
that If the white strikers wanted to go to Work
they could do so.
al have not the slightest doubt but that the
backbone of the strike has been broken and We
expect that peace and quiet will soon be re-
stored. The deputy sheriffs here have not yet
been removed, but they soon viii be. We Will
appoint Immediately justice OF the peace and
constable for Franklin precinct, and they can
attend to all the wants of the residents without
the aid of the sherif's deputies.
"We did not visit either Newcastle or Gil
man."
While away the commissioners examined q
section of school land near Renton. They found
the land to be of an unusually poor quality.
They expect to appraise ii at about $40 an acre.

A DAY FOR sALAMANDERs.
Seattle Thinks It Frightfu1ly Hot ut

Seattle Thinks it Frightfully Hot ut
Ninety-eight.
Seattle sizzled and boiled yesterday under the
rays OF merciless sun. 1t was the wafmest
day known for many a year. From IL O'Clock
until the Thermometer lowered about in the
nineties, and numerous amateur prognosticators
and observers report q maximum OF 90 degrees
in the shade. As this temperature was reported on
Pike street, at Hatfeld's wharf and at the court
house, it is quite likely that that figure repre-
sents the point at which the mercury fingered.
The whole population perspired and gasped
for breath; the teamster rested his sweating
horses at every crossing, umbrellas, parasols and
fans were at premium and the lemonade man
waxed wealthy. Seattle 10 not accustomed TO
warm days, and this one was all the more
noticeable for that reason. Many of those who
felt the heat intensely did not know how hot 1t
was.
There was a total absence of any breeze, 80
that the dust did not add further discomfort.
No sunstrokes or other bad effects from the heat
were reported.

NOT STRICTLY CORRECT.

SEATTLE, July ., 1891.
To THE EDITOR: In your issue OF this morn
ing am quoted as saying that the governor
ordered the state troops to Franklin. This state
ment is not strictly correct. The troops were in
the first instance ordered there by me, at the re-
quest of the deputy sheriff in charge at that
point, in accordance with the general authority
conferred by the governor, and in compliance
with section $50 of the code of Washington.
