Thomas Paine, whose memory is
held up to execration by the Christian
world as The arch-American infiiel,
was yet a patriot In the truest sense
or the wOri, and did more than aImoSI
any oDe other man to make the RevO
luton a success. In so high regari
were his servi es held, that, toward
the middle of the year 1874, bill
was brought in by some members OF
the Virginia house OF deputies TO re-
ward his patriotism and public work
by a grant Of land, known as Secre,
tary's land, on the eastern shore, equa
to about $40, 900. The bill Was known
to have the approval of Washington
and was warmly supported by Madi.
ION, but the prop sition failed after
repeated efforts to have it passed. Oh
all the human kind Paine Was the fl
thiest and nastiest, and his disgusting
habits grew upon him with years. La
his old age, when the frugal gifts OF
two states which remembered his good
work, had placed him beyond imme

A wRANGLE AT NEWCASTLE.
Negroes Assert Their Claims-Preparing
to Work Double Shifts.

NEWCASTLE, July l3.-iSpecial. There was
little misunderstanding in the mine this fore
noon between the pit boss and number of ne
groes, az a result of which about thirty of the
latter quit and came up from the mine. 1t
seems that four of the strikers returned to work
and the pit boss, who all along has shown that
he fsvors white men at all times in preference
to blacks, assigned them to stations in tho west
gangway, where negros have been at work for
some time past. A number of negroes have
been waiting their turn for work, and they
thought it was hardship on them to have
white men put in when there were colored men
in line waiting chance Matters looked
equally for a time-not that violence in any
form was threatened, but the misunderstanding
was about to assume larger proportions and in
volye considerably larger number of men.
Colonel Scott Immediately telegraphed to
Superintendent Corey, who came up. and
Strengthened matters ont in a very short time.
The negroes will go to work in the morning as
though nothing had happened. Mr.. Corey will
stay on the grounds day or two.
Arrangements are being made to work day and
night shifts in the mine, which will take effect
in fortnight, at which time work will be fur
nished nearly double the number OF miners and
laborers at present employed.
Tonight dance is being held in the pavilion,
at which the strikers and soldiers are having
merry time together. The boys see no prospect
OF soon getting back to town. The rest of the
Sullivan guards, i've in number, will be with
drawn tomorrow.

MANUFACTURING STREET CARS.

Seattle-Erecting Machine shops.

Seattle-Erecting Machine shops.
Seattle continues to push forward new enter
prises and assume the airs of q manufacturing
city. The latest important enterprise is the
manufacture of street cars Fred w. Wooda-
man is now engaged in turning out a large num-
Der OF elegant open street cars for the Yeser
avenue line. Fourteen cars have already been
manufactured at his shops on Seventh street,
near University. and eight more cars are now
being built. These cars are equal in STYLE APP
pearance and durability to the best of those
made at the old established carworks in the
East. and are constructed under the direction of
L. +. Peterson, foreman of Mr.. Woodaman's
shops, who received his training in one of the
large New England factories.
Few persons who ride on the James street
cars are aware OF the fact that they were manu-
featured right here at home in the Woodaman
car works These cars are in every respect equal
to any made in the East and cost less money.
Mr.. Woodsman has begun the erection OF a
large blacksmith and machine shop adjoining
his other shops, where he will also manufacture
the running gear for street cars. This shop will
be Soxl00 feet and will be completed in month,
and then street cars will be turned out all COM
plete, on short order. At present eleven men
are employed in the Woodamen shops and the
number will be increased to thirty as soon as the
new machine shop is finished. Orders are al
ready being received for street cars and on ac-
count of the satisfaction given by those already
made, Mr.. Woodaman anticipates orders for all
of the work he can turn ont

Position to Be Stated to
Chamber of Commerce

Yesterday morning the special committee of
the Chamber of Commerce appointed to urge the
harbor line commission to immediate action in
settling the harbor lines at Seattle met with ex-
Governor Eugene Semple of the commission
The committee presented its case in a letter to
which Mr.. semple is preparing a reply. Both
letter and answer will be presented in q report
to the Chamber of Commerce trustees.
Mr.. Semple said afterwards to a PosT-INTEL-
LIGENCER reporter: "At the meeting of the
commission on Friday, at Olympia, the question
of going on with the field work for the additions
to Seattle harbor made by extending the CITY
limits was discussed. We want to get this field
work done as soon az possible in order to lay the
lines when the litigation in the courts has been
gotten out of the way. But am very anxious
to have the surveying done by
Captain J. ]. Gilbert, OF the United
States coast survey. He has done other work
for us rapidly and accurately, for he has great
scientific skill, and in addition to that eyery an
piiance Tor such surveying. At present he is de-
tailed for surveying 1t Olympia, but he will be
through there in i've or six weeks and can come
TO Sesttlci hope, by the last of August So though
there is no formal decision that he shall make
the surveys here, think the arrangement will
be made Captain Gilbert can work so rapidly
and with such accuracy that even though we
wait few weeks the result win be more salts

sit viii be something to have the work in
charge OF the coast survey, for their figures are
submitted to such careful scrutiny that abso-
lutte accuracy is assured.

and Lake Washington has been submitted to the
state attorney general for decision"
Senator Frank II. Richards, of whatcom, was
at the Diller yesterday on his way home from
he meeting of the commission at Olympia.
"The surveys in Bellingham bay are done: this
week the commission will meet at whatcom to
fix the lines there, or rather to give hearings 10
the citizens there interested in the lines. The
harbor strip will be laid on the same general
principles as here, except that the waters of the
bay are much shallower, and there must be some
notifications on that account. The water is
not over seyenty-eight feet anywhere in the
bay"
The lines OF the Blaine harbor will he laid
after those of Bellingham bay.
