Initial Trip OF tho Ellis.

Captain Ellis had 425 guests out on his
new boat, the Ellis. yesterday on her
maiden trip to Port Orchard and Port
Washington. All had very enjoyable
time, but the boiler works very poorly and
it was almost impossible to keep up steam.
She returned about O'Clock last evening.
Captain Ellis has telegraphed for the
patentee of the boiler. who is now in
California, and he expects him here in q
few days to examine 1t. This class of
boilers has been used extensively in the
East for some time past and has given
entire satisfaction. They have also proven
very satisfactory here on small boats, on
which they are used now almost entirely.
They are no experiment. and Captain Ell
lis feels sure that his will be all right after
while. He thinks there may be some
thing little irregular in the construction
Of it that he does not understand.

Charlie Reed, the notorious land-shark,
was shot at but not wounded by his wife
on Third street, near Union, about
2o'clock this morning. They had some
trouble in the house in which they
were stopping, and Reed ran out of the
house with his little girl and started down
the street. The woman came to the door
and fired . shot at him, and was just
about to fire again when Officer Bryant
seized her.
They were all taken to police headquar-
tiers. but Reed said he would not prosecute
the woman. Captain Hogle entered q
charge against her for firing inside
the city limits and Reed sent
out to get bail for her. 1t is thought that
jealousy was the cause of the tro uble. as
another man was seen skulklng away from

C. w. Ferris and Delegate T. F. Drew left
Seattle for New York with the following
bonds:
Sest.le funding bonds Of 1892. ....... .$1s5,oo0
Seattle Judgment bonds OF 1892. .....~.-. 275,00o
Seattle condemnation and award bonds
Seattle general bonds OF ise2. 10000
Total. ...$S7o,oO
They arrived in New York late Friday
night or early Saturday morning. and yes
terday afternoon Mayor Ronald received
dispatch from Ferris stating that Blair &
Co. had accepted all but the $135, 600
whose validity is in doubt, and had paid
for them at once. This left for
the city $735, 900, and deducting the COM
mission, there was placed to the credit of
Seattle 1874, 1929. which is now in the
Chase National bank and can be drawn
upon at once.
The funding bonds have been placed in
escrow until the question of their validity
shall be determined by the supreme court
or new election held to ratify them.
There are now left to be delivered the
following issues:
Seattle water bonds Of 1892 ............. $2o5oOo
Total .............-............. $3so'oo"
These are not to be issued until July 1.
and they will complete the entire series of
81, 265. 900.
The bonds were voted for on March
last, so that the entire business relating
to them has been completed in just sixty
days, a remarkably rapid piece Of work
considering the large amount to be
handled.
The funding bonds are for the purpose
of funding the Indebtedness in the fire and
street funds incurred prior to March Z,
1891. The judgment bonds are for the
purpose of funding certain warrants in
the general and judgment funds issued in
satisfaction of judgments, and amounting
to sos, 900 and for the satisfaction Of
judgments against the city for which no
warrants have been issued. The condem-
nation award bonds are for the purpose OF
satisfying claims against the city on &C
count of property condemned for the
widening and Strengthening of streets.
The general bonds are for any strictly
municipal purpose, to be determined by
the city council.
The water and sewer bonds are for the
purpose of charging and extending the
water and sewerage systems.
The bonds previously issued are as fol-
lows:
Grant street, due $685. per CENTS 10000
Seattle water and sewer, due 1910.
seattle Ras funding. due isii per cent. $4,000
Total. $4,000
The total bonded Indebtedness of the
city is, therefore, 81, zoe, 900. or about per
cent. of the entire property valuation,
which was in 1891, the last assessment,
SAG. 626, 495 The population is estimated
at 5000.
If the property valuation should be this
year $50, OO0, 600 it will take levy of mills
to pay the interest, with q balance at the
end of year of $14, 400 for contingencies,
including the proportion of delinquency.

600, and the balance on hand on
April 80 was over 100000 1t has
been the policy Of Treasurer Phelps
to cali for warrants frequently in order to
stop the payment of unnecessary interest.
When all the warrants called for are
brought in the balance on hand will be
greatly reduced. King county's indebted
ness is now all funded in low interest
bonds.
The county commissioners have been
making their quarterly settlement with
the treasurer during the past week. Each
warrant, receipt stub and entry is checked

days more to complete the task. Treasurer
