And has an end in view.

TO RECLAIM A RUNAWAY GIRL
Strange story of a Port Madison Mans
visit to the City.

At an early hour yesterday morning B.
Bessane, West Indian, called at police
headquarters, and. exhibiting a swollen
eye, claimed that he had been assaulted
by negro named l.. L. Grant, who rooms
at 5l3 James street. He wanted his assail-
ant arrested, but the police told him that
he would first have TO swear out warrant.
Bessane says that he lives at Port Madi-
son and was on mission of charity when
assaulted. According 10 his story Grant
enticed pretty half-breed girl from her
home. The girls name is L. Wood and
her father lives at Port Madison. Bessane
says that last Sunday Grant. who has been
corresponding with her, induced her to
come to Seattle with him aud took her TO
5l3 James street, where Mrs. c. Harris. a
coiored woman, conducts clearinghouse.
Bessane had business IN the CITY and
the father OF the girl prevailed upon him
10 endeavor TO have his daughter return
home. Bessane arrived in the CITY at n
late hour and went to the lodging-house
at u O'Clock at night. He SAYS his ring at
the door bell was answered by Grant, who,
learning the visitors mission, knocked
him down with his fist.
Bessane must have concluded to let the
matter drop, for he didn't put in an an
pearance ut police headquarters Yesterday.
neither did he make any complaint to the
prosecuting attorney.

Contract Awarded for Substantial
Structure Across the River.
The board of county commissioners held
lengthy session yesterday, at which bids
were opened for the construction of a SUBJ
stantial bridge over the Snoqualmie river
at McKinnon's point. and after canvass
ing the various propositions, awarded the
contract to the San Francisco Bridge Com
pany at the stipulated price of $500, and
the approaches at $3.50 per ineal foot.
Competition for the contract was exceed
ingly brisk, and considering the various
designs and material to be used, the prices
were remarkably close. Some of the bid
ding contractors bid on several different
plans, as follows, each company furnish
ng its own plans:
Portland Bridge Company-wood, s7,555; steel.
sl0,357, approaches at 1890 per lineal foot.

$3.50; c. $3.50; d, $3.50; a-l6 metal, deduct
$500: approaches at 81. 50 per lineal foot
The commissioners gave the matter the
most careful consideration, gave each bid
der an opportunity to be heard, but con-
sidered the bid of the San Francisco Bridge
Company, all things considered, the best,
| and so awarded the contract to that con-
Germ.
The new bridge will have a span of 26O.
| feet, and will be forty-two feet above low
water mark. The pillars will be six feet
| in diameter at the base and four feet at the
| top, and will be filed in with con crete.
| The steel used is guaranteed to be of the
| finest quality. The bridge, with only
| twenty-five per cent of its power strained,
is designed to carry 100000 pounds. 1t
| will be covered with galvanized steel and
| will be handsomely painted. 1t was
| figured down by the commissioners that
the California Bridge Compan US bid was
| SOL lower than that of the San Francisco,
but that there was difference of more
| than that amount in the value of the ma
terial agreed to be used by the latter COM
| pany. Each bidder was required to de-
| post a certified check of $3.50 as q guaran-
| tee of good faith.

which he said:
The president and directors of this company
have to report that the business of the last year
has been in the main satisfactory. The surplus
of earnings over the fixed and operating OF
current expenses has been small owing to
many causes, among which may be mentioned
the extreme cost OF fuel, and many other
articles largely used in operating long
lines Of railway, which Eastern roads are able
to get at much lower prices, and this surplus
has been used in improving your property, and
thereby adding to the safety OF persons and
property that you transport But it is g-atify-
ing to be able to report that the crops in the
territory trayersed by your roads have been
fairly good and the earnings as large as the
owners OF property could have expected.
President Huntington also submitted
figures to show the extent of the opera
tions during the year, but the figures were
not made public. The election of directors
resulted in choosing c. p. Huntington
