Now that the Great Northern railroad is

the most interesting question in regard to

The Spokane & Northern railroad will
probably be leased and used as a branch
to connect the main line with Spokane

From Bonner's Ferry the road will run

A Newcastle Miner Claims That His Pay
Is $40 Short.

2. p. Padden, general auditor of the
Oregon Improvement Company, will today
appear before Justice Penman, of New
castle. to answer peculiar suit for wages,
brought by William Doyle, miner at that
place. The history of the case, as told by
Mr.. Padden, is as follows: "We have lately
introduced Il new form of paying wages by
checks at all the mines, but as there is no
bank at Newcastle, took with me the cash
to pay the checks last Wednesday, and
issued the checks in one part of the build
ing and cashed them in another part.
When | announced To the men how they
would receive their wages, William Doyle,
one of the miners who was discharged,
said that one receipt was enough for the
company. l told him that if he did not
like to indorse his check he could cash it
somewhere else,
He afterwards came with his own and
those of his three sons to the place where
| was cashing the checks. | cashed the
first check and the second, which amounted
to SCI 80. | was in the act of getting the
money for the third check, amounting TO
$l04 when DOYLE said: Here, what's
this?' | looked UP and found only sd 90
on the desk. Doyle demanded $40 more.
/ said that under the circumstances |
would not pay it, but that If Doyle
would wait until had checked UP the

had, would give him the money. |
had to pay the men rapidly, as there were
so many of them, and the cash for Doyle's
first two checks was or the desk at the
same time. Therefore | believed that he
had, without counting it, taken mp part of
the amount for the second check together
with the money for the first.
About midnight | was called out of bed
at the hotel and arrested on u charge pre-
ferred by Doyle before Justice William
Penman. was taken before Justice Pen

miners, and related the circumstances to
him. told him that / had 10 pay off at

fore him again on Monday and report the
result. | was then released on my own re-
cognizanccs until Monday.

THAT HoUGHToN ROAD CONTEST.
Commissioner Gasch Tells the Reasons
for the Injunction.

County Commissioner Fred Gasch was
yesterday asked by a Posr-INTELLIGENcER
reporter what was the ground for the in
junction suit brought by the county
against the Belt line railroad in regard to
the Houghton road He told the history
of the dispute as follows:
1.-THE road supervisor went to see Mr..
Estep the assistant engineer of the North
ern Pacific, about the matter Mr. Estep
offered, in place of the present road, to
make road ten feet wide on the right-of-
way. When the supervisor reported this
to me ] went to see Mr.. Estep, and de-
clined to accept such an arrangement He
then offered to give us fifteen feet on the
right-of-way and put tight fence between
the road and the railroad. As we now
have road sixty feet wide, declined
this offer, and said we must have thirty
feet outside of the right-of-way. As there
is high bluff on one side and swamp on
the other side of the road, there is no other
way for it to go.
''The next thing heard of it was when
the supervisor told me last week that the
railroad men had begun grading on this
piece of road, about twenty rods long.
Then We asked for an injunction to stop
the work We want the railroad to grade
a road thirty feet wide outside of the right
Ol-Ndy, anu 10 nave III ready before the ola
road is cut up. We intend to have guar
antee that this will be done before we raise
the injunction.
II am told that the trouble with the rail
road company is that James Boutwell,, tn
right-of-way agent, paid the farmer who
owns the adjoining land for right-of-way
over the county road as well as his own
land and now the railroad does not wish
to pay for that right-of-way again to the
right party, the county. / know that he
did this with Gus Haverkampf, another
farmer
1.-The dispute at Renton is not over yet,
by any means. The railroad bought from
Mr.. Smithers the right-of-way, not only
over his own property, but over the adj
joining street, which had been dedicated
to public use. Then they began digging
dirt out of Smithers' land and dumping on
the street to make the grade eighteen
inches higher. This would destroy the
street, and we demanded that, If the rail
road runs on that street, it grade the
whole width of it and make it passable
from side to side.
''Mr. Mitchell, the Northern Pacific
attorney, will be back soon, and expect
we shall settle all these questions with him
in our February session"

WAS ABBOTT MURDEREpe
suspicion That Opium-Smugglers Sought
His Silence in Death.


1t is believed by some of the friends of
Abner Abbott, the young man whose re-
mains were found floating in the waters of
the tide-fiats under the King street trestle
Saturday, that he is the victim of the
opium smuggling ring There are many
circumstances connected with his disap-
pearance that go toward sustaining this
theory. The hotel porter who was at the
dock when Abbott's party arrived in
Seattle from Fairhaven, says that he was
certain that Abbott's large valise, which
he (the porter carried to the hotel, con-
tanned opium. He made some remarks
about its weight at the time.
Later, Abbott frequently displayed n
check for $500, drawn by some Chinese
firm.
Charles Sargent, who was at that time
acting night clerk of the Seattle hotel,
states that he saw the check in Abbott's
possession on the evening when he left
the hotel for the last time. This check
was not on his person when his remains
were drawn out of the water. 1t is thought
by those who believe in this theory that
the opium ring was DESTROYS of getting
him out of the way for fear that his care
lessness in displaying his check and in the
use OF his tongue, when stimulated by
liquor, would get them into trouble. He
had been hourishing the check around in
the Eureka saloon just before he left there
to meet his death.
They do not believe that Abbott was en-
gagged In the smuggling business, but had
been employed for good round sum to
get the opium through for them.
De Witt, who was around with Abbott a
great deal, it is said disappeared about the
same time. He appeared to be very anx-
ious to find Abbott, and stated when he
went away that he would write his adj
dress, so that word could be sent to him if
anything should be learned about Abbott,
but he has not been heard from since.

EMMA JUCH.
Wonderful Interest in the Forthcoming
Grand Onera Season.


The coming grand opera season by
Emma Juch and her excellent company OF
lyric stars has created more stir in society
and musical circles than that of any en-
gagement that has ever taken place in
this city. The advance sale of seats
opened last Friday morning, and in two
days the amount realized reached the snug
sum of $500. This is a remarkable sale
for city OF this size and would do credit
to a city of 100000 population, showing
conclusively that Seattle is one of the best
theatrical cities on the Coast. The Juch
company closed their three weeks season
in San Francisco last evening before an
audience of 1000 enthusiastic admirers.
The success of this company is entirely
due to their magnificent production OF
Richard Wagner's grand compositions.
Wagner, besides being one of the greatest
composers that ever lived, was one OF the
most exacting. His wonderful genius not
only created the sublime music and poetic
text of all his works, but dominates every
detail of their stage representations. inis
organization, by following the minute pre-
cepts of Wagner, in its production OF his
works, has been successful in task, which
is an accomplishment belonging to no
other English company. Miss Juch, who Is
considered an ideal Elsa, i'll ''Lohengrin,
and Elizabeth, in .'Tannhauser," was fortu-
nate i'll having for an advisor, at the COM
mencement of her career, the most re-
nowned conductor and Wagner champion
in this country, Theodore Thomas.
The works of this great master will be
strongly emphasized during their season
in this city, and as it will be their first pre-
sentation here, they will naturally attract
a great deal of attention, inasmuch as
strong contrast will be made with Verdi's
'Rigoletti' and Bizet's beautiful Gar
men," Miss Juch will have the support
of a phenomenally strong company, en-
bracing such noted singers as Payne,
Clark, the English tenor; Otto Rathjens,
the marvellous baritone; Franz Vetta, the
American basso; Georgine Won Janus
chowsky, the charming soprano, who alter
mates with Miss Juch in the title roles;
Charles Hedmondt the tenor robusto, and
L. n. Knight, the basso buffo. This splen-
did company will be assisted by grand
orchestra of thirty and chorus of eighty
voices, and the mise-en-seene beautifully
illustrated, under the direction of the
prince of stage directors, Mr.. William
Parry, assures "a brilliant and successful
engagement. During Miss Juch's stay
here numerous receptions will be rendered
her, principal of which is one by the Con-
servatory of Arts, which will take place on
Tuesday afternoon, February 3, when the
ladies of this city will have an opportunity
of meeting this famous songbird.

THE GREATEST JULIET.
Miss Mo ore Incompatible in the Great
Role.

Miss Adelaide Moore, the beautiful and
accomplished English actress, who makes
her first appearance here Wednesday night
in Romeo and Juliet" is an exceedingly
modest lady. She strenuously objects to
being proclaimed the greatest, the only, or
the legitimate successor of, etc. Miss
Moore evidently appreciates the difficulties
that beset aspirants to the high sphere in
dramatic art to which her aim is directed,
and that very modesty is the best means
to insure for her tempered Judgment and
the good viii of the public. A woman
could scarcely choose more trying path
to fame than in the field which Miss Moore
has selected. Each of the Older critics has
his ideal Juliet, Rosalind, Julia and
Pauline, and great, indeed, must be the
new conner who united critical judgment
in her favor in those parts. Yet Miss
Moore has turned critics in this country
into admirers in this country, and wher-
ever she has appeared on her present tour
she has been greeted by crowded houses
and by enthusiastic audiences, too. Her
engagement here is: Wednesday, Romeo
and Juliet" Thursday, "Pygmalion and
Gaiatea," and "A Silent Woman"

A DAYLIGHT BURGLARY.
ID. r. MulIigan's House Robbed Will,
He Strolls Forth.

A bold burglary was committed yester-
day afternoon between 2 and O'Clock, at
424 Columbia street, and fine gold watch,
necklace and pair of diamond earrings
were stolen.
The house entered is occupied by d. f.
Mulligan, the Front street cigar dealer. He
and his wife went out for walk in the
afternoon, leaving the servant girl to lock
up the house. She too left the house
about 2 O'Clock. About 4 O'Clock E. G.
Huntley, who lives in the adjoining house,
noticed Mulligan's back door open, so the
robbery must have occurred early in the
afternoon.
The thieves must have entered from a
side window on Fifth street. and were
doubtless disturbed before gathering all of
the plumber, from the fact that box con-
tanning about $500 worth of silverware was
opened but none of the contents taken.

A song must have a great
sweetness about it to stand

have much interest in it to bear
constant repeating, and our
Shoe Department must be full
of good things to warrant us
in again starting off this week
with it as Especial. ,
We believe there is the merit
in it that wins and is worth
your constant attention. 1t is
the merit of the greatest shoe
offerings ever made in the city,
an invitation to you to save the
actual dollars and cents in your
footwear.
We believe that you under
stand the motive of our making
the great offerings that we are
in shoes. Besides being one
of the policies of our Mid
Winter sale, there is further
inducement for having this
stock reduced to its lowest
minimum. The department is
to be moved TO another por-
ton of the house and very
radical change made in its
character.
The change which is. to be
made makes us particularly
anxious to have much of the

To accomplish this end we
announce for this week further
specials in the department.
An examination of the goods
and prices is all we ask.
