WHERE CARS ARE DETAINED.

Shfngio Loads Massed at Jamestown
8. d., for Quick Orders.
The Chicago 7i,n5cr4pan contained the
following explanation of the recent com
plant of the Northern Pacific regarding
the practice of shippers in deteining cars
In which shingles are shipped East from
the Sound:
There are usually twe sides to a question, and,
II which Has come TO the Timber
man can be relied on, tbis difficulty between the
Northern Pacific railroad and some OF its
shippers, regarding alleged undue detention OF
cars at points of destination, Is no exception.
IL will be remembere1 that that road threat
ened to withhold cars from certain shippers be-
cause cars loaded by them were sometimes
held by consignees one to three weeks before
unloading.
The Ttmbern,un is infarmed that it is a regular
thing to keep ears of shingles On the track at
Jamestown, S. D., ani other points waiting
for orders. The salesnfen for the shingles thus
favored are able to promise and
quick oeilvery-a week or ten days against a
month or six weeks frtsin the Coast-and thus
catch many an order they could not otherwise
get.
The modus operandi seems to be about as fol-
lows: The order beiig booked, a message is
sent to the point where the cars are living
ana from whence they are forwarded. The
order Is wired to abe Coast Office. from
which comes by due course OF the mail an
invoice and a throug3 bin + lading, on the
through rate. There is no "sum of the locals
about it-just a plain, through rate. Think of
the advantage to shippers who are thus able to
have cars held in TRANSIT, like grain for milling.
This reminds lis thag the Timberman last week
preached something OF: a sermon to lumbermen
on the duty of keeping cars moving.
based on the protest of the Northern
Pacific to shippers. In the light of more
recent Developments We are in somewhst the
position of the darkey divine who preached a
powerful sermon on t,e wickedness OF theft,
but based it Oh a text tie meaning OF which he
entirely misconstrued. When his mistake was
explained to him he saTd:
swell, bredren. eff DE- tex dom fit, de sermon
am all right, an yo' wants to quit yo' chicken
steaiin'."

He VIII Probably Make California His
Home Upon His Return.


Hon. W Lair Hill, the we'll known at
torney. left the city last night for Oakland,
Cal. where he will remain for a couple of
days. going thence TO New York, where he
will take 4 steamer for Europe on January
2or3
When seen yesterday evening he said that
his trip 10 Europe was upon business of
considerable importance, the particulars
OF which he does no.: AZ present care to dis
close. For some time past Mr.. Hill has
been suffering from rheumatism to such
an extent that II has prevented him from
taking rs prominent a part in his pro-
fessjou as he would like 20 have taken. and
if his health does not improve he will
probably remain in California for several
months on his return from abroad.
lie intends 20 return to Seattle about the
middle or latter part of the summer. but
in his present state of health, is unable TO
say whether he Will remain permanently
or not
lie has closed his office. packed his
furniture and shipped it to California, so
il Is probable he will not make this civ
his home upon his return.

HE LEFT WILLINGLY.
Light Thrown on the Disap-
pearance of John keefe.
HAD PLENTYoF MONEY WITH HIM
He Made Lavish Purchases OF Cham
payne on Arriving H~ere-Sfgns That
He May Have Eloped.

Recent developments In the case of John
Keefe, the missing Everett furniture
dealer, indicate that he left the country
voluntarily about n week ago.
The theories that the detectives have
been working on as laid down at the be.
ginning have been exploded and by ex-
ploding them the truth has become known
to a certain extent.
John keefe's creditors have levied on
everything he owned in Everett, bat the
exact amoun of his debts is not known.
1t is safe to say. however. hat the total
amount is far below that he could have
raised at a moments notice from his
friends in Seattle.
It has been said that he left Everett one
week ago last Wednesday with from SEQ
to 500 in his possession, n that he was
a sober and reliable man. In regard to
the first statement it has been established
that he had a much larger sum and that
he collected all the money be could preyi-
Gus to coming to Seattle.
As to the latter, he was seen in the
Horseshoe saloon the night of the day he
left Everett drinking, and, in fact, offering
to buy champagne for the crowd. While
at the bar he showed a large roll of bills,
but the amount is impossible TO state.
4uSsS lcItS 40 not IAI IipufZc WILL Tic
statement that lie made in Schade & Wood
ruii's store. He said there that he would
return 10 Everett and get money to pay q
bill he owed them. This occurred before
he was buying wine in the Horseshoe, and
it is hard to explain why he avoided pay
ing a bill when ne unquestionably had he
money in his pocket.
The theory has heen advanced on several
occasions by Everett people that he had
gone on a spree and might show up all
right. Whatever he has done, wherever
he has gone. he had nearly three days
start before the hunt was taken up.
The cause of keefe's sudden disappear
ance still remains misty. His domestic af-
fairs have been TO all appearances pleas
ant. His wife has certainly suffered great
mental anxiety for his safety and thought
him a devoted husband. His father-in-
Law, John Sporck. thought him the soul
of honor, and his fortune, which is about
10000, is said to be willed to john
keefe's wife.
In the face of all this it is possible that
keefe has become infatuated with some
other woman and eloped. He was seen
to meet a woman at the Everett boat IN
the evening one week ago last Wednesday.
A Northern Pacific train leaves Seattle at
1925, and he might have gone on that
train.
If he did, it would explain. how he so
suddenly became lost in Seattle.

ASSOCIATION TO BE FORMED
Meeting Tonight For That Purpose-Ps,
tucket VIII Lead Yet.

meeting Tonight For That PurpOse-fhw-
tucket VIII Lead Yet.
This evening a meeting will be held
looking towards the organization Of an
association to take charge of and back the
Pawtucket New England league team.
This is the only club in the league that is
not run by an association, and the want
Of the moral and financial support that
such an association would give the team
has been plainly apparent in the last few
games.
The club with two or three exceptions
is composed of the best men In the New
England league, and with the weak points
in the team strengthened there is every
reason to expect success. Pawtuckct has
proven itself to be good base ball town
and will support the team handsomely.
The New England league is in the field
to stay this year and every team In II Is
backed by ample capital and as@strong as
sociation, excepting this .city. The ad-
vertsing the city gets out Of the ball team
is very considerable, and a good thing for
the city in this respect. The team has
been playing in very hard luck lately, and
this fact with one or two disgruntled
members has had its effects.
In the other cities in the league the as
sociations behind the clubs are composed
Of solid business men, such as mill owners,
bank officials and others, and there ap-
pears to be no good reason why such an
association could not be formed in this
city. Let the business men and others
who are interested in the club and game
and want to see Pawtucket take the place
that belongs to it among the other cities
in New England take hold Of the matter,
form an association and elect good and
responsible men to the head of it and the
team would be put upon paying basis at
once and the tight little city Of Samuel
Slater be ranked with the other lively and
hustling towns of New England. This
city ought surely to do as well in this re-
spect as Woonsocket.
A large number OF business men have
already signified their willingness TO join
such an association.
