BIG TIMBERS FOR THE BRIDGE.
Strong Construction Of New Bunkers-
Peculiarities of the New Truss.

Some very large timbeSs are being put
in the bridge which the Seattle Coal and
Iron Company is building across Railroad
avenue at the foot of Madison street, from
its shipping bunkers to the new hoist on
the east side. Two of these measure 12x
% inches and are 50 feet long, and two are
12x2S inches and 66 feet dong. They are
to be used as chord pieces in the
trusses of the bridge. Che bridge is
to be twenty-six feet vice, with double
track. and is to be twenty two feet clear
above Railroad avenue. xith the tracks
twenty-nine and half feet above.
The truss is Queen posi- through truss
and is peculiar in the fast that the floor
beams are made in the form of small
trusses and supported beteeen the main
trusses SO as to bring t5,e track about
eight feet above the bOtton5 of the lower
chord. This construction " as made neces-
sary by conditions which rendered it i'm
possible to place support :lnder the point

TRYING TO END The MEAT WAR.

An Effort at Settlement Foiled by One
Directing Firm.
The jobbing meat dealers held a meet
ing Monday afternoon. to endeavor to
reach q settlement of the present war in
prices between them and the retail butch
ers, as we'll as among themselves.
The proprietors of the Seattle market
refused to be governed by
the result, however, so ne satisfactory ad-
justment could be reached and the out
look is that there will be- cheap meat for
some time yet. c. H. FRYE. the head man
in the Seattle market, sail last night:
The American Dressed Nest Company WAS
the first to cut prices. about month ago. when
we opened up our retail markets. We had been
selling ON credit to the butchers, and every now
and then one of them would beat us out of more
or less money. We finally decided to open up
our own retail shop an. sell for cash.
As soon as We did t3lis the Ameri-
can made the cut. We concluded we
could cut as low as any Of them and the
result is apparent Yesterday they got up this
meeting and tried to fix up matters. They have
never stuck to anything yet. so we concluded
not TO be bound by their agreement. Prices suit
us all right We sell strictly for cash and make
a little at present rates, so I'VE will continue
them until the first OF January.

A Missing Enumcl.v .M.n.

George Eigensteller, German living
about two miles from Enumclaw, has dis
appeared under very mysterious circum-
stances. He was last seen in his cabin by
passers-by last Thursday evening. His
cabin was burned down the next morning
and was seen by Mrs. McMil-
Ian, near neighbor. A thorough
investigation of the ruins has failed
to disclose any signs of his
remains as was anticipated. for he has
been acting strangely for some time back,
and the general opinion was that he had
fired his cabin and then committed sui
eide. He was strongly built young man
OF perhaps % years of age, and was always
a hard worker and not given to dissipa-
ton.

A Sleeping Wharf-Ls,afer AWakens In
the Dead Wagon.

n RxG6DIn& "n8KIsLBoIoE AW1kGn0 An
the Dead Wagon.
At 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon q
telephone message from the coroner an
nounced to Bonney Il Stewart that a
corpse was at the Columbia q Puget
Sound depot. The dead wagon was driven
to the station at the city dock, and the
first object that met the eyes of the under
taker was the motionless form of a man
stretched out on the edge of the wharf. The
receiving box was taken from the wagon
and placed near the body, the usual crowd
of curious people watching the proceed
ings with interest. The limp form was
placed in the box and a sheet thrown over
1t. The lid was put on and with an under
taker at one end Of the unpleasant looking
box and young man at the other the
march toward the wagon was begun.
just as the wagon was reached an I'M
expected occurrence took place. The lid
rose and q pale face could be seen. The
bearers of the corpse dropped their burden
and looked aghast, tie crowd fell back
and doubted their senses. The undertaken
took off the lid and looked at the man.
His eyes were open, but they had vacant
stare. The undertaken felt his pulse and
realized the man was alive, but hated to
give up the case. Addressing the dead
man, he said:
The coroner said there was corpse here and,
as you come nearest to filling the bill, you must
consider yourself dead.
He paused moment and continued:
If you can "dig up" $40, Twill give you GER
titicate of life.
The corpse slowly and mechanically
went through every pocket and finally
produced % cents. This he handed to the
man in the tall black hat

at the crowd and then az the dead wagon.
His brain seemed to- suddenly work.
his eyes grew large. his hair
came up like that on a fight

the box and jumped for the water. Aman
grabbed him and saved aim from going
into the bay. Like frightened hare he
started uptown and, as he disappeared,
over 100 men were roaring with laughter.
Fifteen minutes later the dead wagon
arrived at the undertaking rooms with

HOW THE BOYS WERE CAUGHT.
Young Train Wreckers Run Down Day
After the Crime.

The detection and capture of Jimmy
Francis and Johnnie Harrier, the two
Snohomish boys who caused the wreck of
the Lake Shore train at Dubuque on Sun
day by tampering with the switch, was
one of the quickest pieces of work of the
kind in this section.
Superintendent Newman Kline and De-
tective Bolton Rogers left here for Du.
bugue on a special train at 2 10 on Mon
day morning, and arrived at the scene of
the wreck at 4:30. By O'Clock they had
found out who were the culprits, had them
under arrest by 2 O'Clock, got them bound
over to court that afternoon and reached
this city again at O'Clock in the evening.
The two boys had gone early on Sunday
afternoon with a gun and two dogs to
hunt on ranch at Machias. While re-
turning about 3 O'Clock the switch at
Machias caught their attention and the
fiendish desire TO see a train wreck entered
their heads. With linch-pin and four
teen-foot board they hammered out the
connecting rod and then swung the switch
without moving the signal. Seeing
man approaching they walked on down
10 Dubuque, three miles further south.
and there opened the switch in the same
way, using a rock to break the connecting
rod. The man whom they had seen was
the lineman who, finding the mischief
they had done. tagged the south bound
train due at 4 :0S O'Clock. and thus saved
it from being wrecked. The boys stood on
a trestIe a mile from the scene of the
wreck at Dubuque, and heard the engine
whistle as it left the track.
At 5 o'clock on Monday morning Mr..
Kline and Mr. Rogers got the description
of two boys who had been seen al some
mischief on the track at Dubuque. They
went back to Snohomish and learned that
two boys answering that description had
been seen to so hunting. They were
not long in pitching upon Francis
and Harrier as the boys. Rogers, accom-
panied by Deputy Sheriff Hayden and
Police Captain Evans. went to Francis
home and found him at work with his
mother in an onion patch. He called the
boy to the fence and the latter no sooner
approached than be said:
Il was not up the railroad track yester-
day"
Harrier was next arrested and as the
two boys were being taken 70 the Justices
office each made a separate confession.
agreeing with the other on all material
points. They were bound over 10 court in
$50 bail each, their fathers gong on their
bail.
Francis is Il years old and is a son of
John Francis, plasterer. Harrier will be
ii years old on Christmas day and is the
son of Marion Harrier. teamster.
