7. R. Fleming, candidate for alderman from
the Second ward on the Republican ticket, was
born in Scotland thirty-six years ago. He came
to the United States in 1860 and settled at Chi
cago, where he lived until four years ago. For
eight years he was very prominently
identified with the lumber interests of
Chicago and the Central Western states,
being the vice president and treasurer of the
Michigan Lumber Company, one OF the most ex-
tensive lumber concerns in the country. When
the great Burlington strike was to be settled
Mr. Fleming was one OF committee of five ap-
pointed by the merchants to arbitrate the
trouble, and Mr.. Fleming was given the credit
adopted. All of the prominent labor union leaders
of the country were interviewed by the commit
tee, as well as leading citizens of Chicago and
officials OF the Burlington and other railroads.
Twenty thousand employees were hanging upon
the decision of this committee. Mr.. Fleming
was a leading member of the Lumber Exchange,
and is well known all over Wisconsin, Illinois
and Michigan. He has travelled extensively
all over the world, and thinks Seattle
the best city he was ever in. His
property interests in the Second ward
are extensive, and he has considerable interests
in other parts OF the city. He has long head
financially, which is proved by the fact that he
was independently well off before he was %
years old. Mr. Fleming is SO situated that he
can give great deal Of time to the affairs of the

C. B. Bagley, who now represents the Eighth
ward in the house of delegates, is candidate
for alderman. During his term he has been one
of the most active members of the council and
was one of those chiefly instrumental in secur-
ing reductions OF expenses in all departments, as
well es bringing the government into the system
called for by the charter. No bill ever passed
the house for the smallest amount without his
personal scrutiny and full explanation Those
who admired his pertinacity OF purpose and
courage under criticism called him "the watch
dog of the treasury; those who considered him
too punctilious dubbed him ''the kicker from
the Eighth" II he is reelected he can
be depended upon to continue his watehfulness
and be ever ready to "kiok'' when occasion
seems to call for 1t. His experience during the
past term will be of great service to his col
leagues, who, whether Republican or Democrat,
will be new to the very important work with
which the city council is constantly con.
frontei.

would leave the Senate tie and the bill
would be defeated.
The president is sure to veto the bill
whether the proposition is clothed in the
specious guise of coinage of the American
product or stands forth in the naked ugli-
ness of free and unlimited coinage"

Ex-Congressman Niedringhaus, of st. Louis,
says of the tin plate industry: ''My mill Is now
running out twenty-four tons of tin plate day,
and the industry is an assured fact in this
country. We have carried out our promise to
the ways and means committee OF the Fifty first
congress, and shown beyond doubt that We
can make tin OF the best quality in this coun-
try. 1t is now becoming a great in
dustry. I pay s1,soo day for labor"
Tin plate is now Manufactured at Mingo juno
ton, Ohio. Last week 800 people watched the
process of timing sheet-steel at the Irondale
plant. near Mingo Junction. In all fifteen
boxes were made, all of which will be given to
friends as souvenirs, while a box OF the best
will be sent to Governor Mckinley. The first
sheet was lifted out of pickle by skilled Swansea
workmen, and dipped first in boiling palm oil,
then in a tinpot and coated. then brushed,
dipped in the tinpot again, then in another
solution of palm oil, and polished and dried
in middlings. When the first sheet was lifted
out and held up, cheers for Mckinley resounded
through the hills around Irondale. 1t was the
first coke-tin ever made in the United States.

John Winship, one of the Republican candi-
dates from the First ward for house of delegates,
has worked his way to the front with his own
hands. Born in Rock Island county, Ill, In
1856, he moved at the age of IL to McDonough
county in the same state. After attending the
common schools he began to work for himself as
a coal miner. In April, 1884, he came to Wash
ington and worked for a year and half in the
Renton mines. Then he obtained position on
the Columbia & Puget Sound Shore railroad.
For several years he was in the employ of this
company and the Puget Sound Shore and when
he retired he held the responsible place OF con-
ductor. On october Z, 1889, he formed partner
ship with his brother Joseph, and they went
into the grocery business at 622 South Eighth
street. They have prospered, for both brothers
are rigidly honest, intelligent, progressive and
active. John Winship's popularity among his
old associates on the railroad is shown by the
fact that they are unanimously for him. Mr.,
Winship ranks high in the Masons, Odd Eel
lows, Knights of Pythias and Ancient Order of
United Workmen.

count of what may have been the burning OF
vessel at sea off that port. He says that about q
month before man named Thompson saw the
reflection OF FIRE at sea OF the entrance to the
harbor about clock in the morning He paid
no attention TO il until few days ago, when the
hull of vessel was cast upon. the beach at Pc
terson's point. The hull was bottom-side up,
the timbers torn and twisted and It was fast
sinking and being covered with sand. Pieces of
eharred wood were found lying around and also
small chunks of coal, bearing evidence of the
vessel having been loaded with coal and burned.
As far Us known no coal vessel has been re-
ported missing

A VESSEL TWICE PLUNDERED.
Water Front Thieves Steal Two Lots OF
the Garfield's SuppIieH

The water front thieves have been getting in
their work on the schooner James A. Garfield,
having plundered her Of all her supplies on two
occasions since she arrived in port last Monday.
A night or SO after she came in, nearly bar
rel of corned beef aud all the potatoes and
other supplies the vessel had left on board after
her trip up were stolen. Captain Morse then
laid in fresh supply, and, the yes
sci having been shifted to stimsonss
lumber yard In North Seattle, he did not think
it necessary TO keep a Waterman on the deck
nights. The result was that yesterday morning
he found that the whole stock had been carried
away during the night with the exception Of
some fresh meat he had taken the precaution to
have placed under the hatch where the thieves
could not see il. AL the goods stolen amounted
in value to about So
II is probable the next thief attempting 70
plumber the vessel win carry away more cold
lead than supplies.
