OLYmPIA,s HARBOR.
Plans and Specifications Received
From Captain SymOns.

Elana ana SpeClllCUbAOmS HeCelVe0
From Captain SymOns.
The Office of ]. @. Horr was visited today
by quite a number of Olympia capitalists
and contractors eager to examine the plans
and specifications for harbor improvement,
received from Captain Symon. They bring
the matter down to tangible form, and
therefore are quite interesting
Among other things. contractors will be
required to observe the eight hour rule in
the employment Of men. Articles and ma
terials Of domestic production will be given
preference over impOrtatiOns. In submit
ting bids contractors must specify the time
when they propose to commence work and
the time in which they expect to finish the
contract They must also Iully describe the
method to be used in deposlting the dredged
material on the tide flats. 1t Is estimated
that about ,0C0 cubic yards of earth will
be removed, which will be paid
for by the cubic yard. according to
the plans channel will be
cut 6,3l0 feet long and four feet below
mean of the lower tides, and 100 feet wide
All material removed will be spread out
upon the mud flats at points selected by
the engineer in charge Of the work. 1t is
quite possible a bulkhead 500 feet long
will be built 65 feet east of the center of the
dredged channel. Piles will be driven with
an inside sheeting of heavy planks. All
dredged material will be thrown back of
this bulkhead, which will prevent it from
| flowing back into the channel. This work
will be commenced with the $3.50 % appro-
| priation allowed Olympia harbor by con-
! gress. 1t has been planned so the channel
can be deepened and extended indefinitely.

RESULT OF INExPERIENcE.
DIsastrOu Boiler Explosion Near
WalIa WaIIa.

WALIA WALLa, September 2l.-Yester-
day afternoon a threshing engine on the
farm of Martin Miner, ten miles east Of
this city, exploded, killing one man and
Wounding four others, two seriously. The
dead man was c.. Wickersham, the engi-
neer, who was struck by piece of boiler
in the head and instantly killed. Ambrose
Rainey, the fireman, was badly scalded on
part of the body and face and bad his left
leg broken near the knee. it is thought
he will die. William Eggers was struck by
a piece of boiler and had his left arm frac-
tured, the bone being crushed and driven
out through, necessitating amputation.
He will probably recover. The other men
were only slightly injured. The wounded
men were brought to the hospital. There
were about twenty men working near where
the explosion occurred. Rainey, who was
Just stocking the furnace, was thrown over
fifty feet.
Wickersham was not practical engi-
neer. The explosion set fire to the stubble,
which was eXtinguished with difficulty.

Description at Standstill.
Thousands of Idle Men walking
the streets.
HAMBURG, September 21-People who
have heretofore done business with Ham.
burg are afraid now to handle anything
made in the plague stricken city, and in
consequence every branch of industry
shows an intire absence of orders and of
course, with no demand for their product
manufacturers find it impossible to keep
employees at work and daily the idle pop
ulation of the city is gaining fresh acces-
sions from the ranks of clerks, artisans
and unskilled laborers who are discharged
because of the utter stagnation of business.
The distress is most marked among the
dock laborers and fishermen. The ship
ping trade of the city has received a most
severe blow from the epidemic, and many
vessels belonging to Hamburg have been
forced to tie up until the epidemic abates.
The dock laborers and other men employed
about the wharves can find nothing TO do
and, in many cases, actual starvation is
staring them in the face. Fishermen, too,
ma Jnelr occupation gone, as nearly every
one is afraid to touch fish, let alone eat
them. Those who still follow their busi-
ness find no money in it. Whole
loads of fish are every day carted
away from st. Paul's market and sold for
a few marks to farmers, to be used as a fer
tilizers on their lands. Many porters
about the city are without work and have
been idle for a considerable time.
In the southeast of Hamburg, and be-
longing to the city, is a territory called
Vierlande. Here are located many persons
who cultivate small tracts of land and who
have heretofore found a ready and profit
able market for their product in the city.
Now all is changed and the market gar
deners are on the verge of ruin. They are
unable to dispose of their products and
their fruit is rotting on the trees. The sit
uation is extremely bad in whatever light
it is viewed, and succor for the impover-
ished and famishing people will have to
come from the charitable.
AT present the cholera is carrying in its
train such want and suffering as has never
before marked the history of Hamburg
Nearly all the trades are at a standstill and
thousands of working men are idle and al
most starving.

TRAIN ROBBERS.
An Express Derailed and Several
Men Killed.

Tventy-Five Persons Seriously In
jured--The Cars Telescope and
Roll over an EmBankment-Re-
lief for the Distressed.
Topeka, KAs., September 21.-The regu-
lar east bound night express on the Santa
Fe road was wrecked by train robbers three
miles west of Usage City this morning at
3 O'Clock. Five persons were killed and
number seriously injured. The train was
was thrown over an embankment three
feet high and the first six cars were tele-
scoped. Four persons were killed outright
and twenty-five seriously injured. The
killed were the Express Messenger Frank
Baxter, Express Guardsman Bloomenthal,
of Mexico; Fireman James Chadwick, Of
Topeka; Engineer Ed Mayor of Topeka.
Most of the injured were western people.
But among the number was Mary Lyman,
of Bloomington, Ill, who is badly injured
and bruised about the head and face. G.
T. Wordlaw, of Elliott, H., is also badly
bruised.
The wreck occurred at a small bridge
where there was heavy down grade. The
train was running at forty miles an hour
and 1t was impossible for the engineer TO
see the misplaced rails in time to check the
speed of the train. The coaches piled one
over the other until the baggage and ex-
press cars were completely hidden from
view. Men, women and children were
piled over each other, caught in the seats
and thrown through the windows Relief
first reached the train from EmpOria
An examination of the track shows
that the fish plates had been carefully re-
moved and the bolts taken out and the
spikes drawn from ten ties, and the rail
bent over to the inside. Robbery was un-
questionably the object, as the train car
ried $1,C0O,C) currency en- route to the
Mexican central headquarters in Boston. .
The spot was found where three men had
laid concealed in the grass, and the tracks
were discovered leading from this spot to
the track. The passengers were brought to
Topeka at ten O'Clock this morning. Some
of the wounded could not be removed and
several will probably die.

New YORK, September 21.-Telegrams
from Bradford, Pa, says the United States
Pipe Line company is an anti-Standard
corporation that will revolutionize oil af-
fairs in the near future, according to the
promises of its promoter. Its aim is to lay

the wells to the Eastern and foreign mar
kets. The enterprise has been a pet scheme
of oil producers for years.

FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
The Celebrated Optician Must Leave
for New York This Week.

for New York This Week.
Professor Seward will positively leave
Olympia this week. The indications are
that he will not be able to accommodate
all who desire to secure his services in ad-
justing his superior glasses, but if those
who intend to call will do so as early in the
week as possible the professor will thereby
be enabled to serve a goodly number.
Professor Seward will make a test of the
sight of all who call and in all cases where
the work can't be finished this week the
glasses will be sent from Tacoma, where
stop of four days Will be made before go
ing to Walla Walla. This will be the last
opportunity offered to the citizens of
Olympia, and those who do not take adyan-
tage Of the opportunity will certainly re-
gret it when too late. In addition to the
large number of ordinary nearsighted and
farsighted eyes Professor Seward has sue
cessfully corrected over fifty cases Of COM
pound stigmatism in Olympia; this is the
most difficult and expensive work in optics
and not single case has been reported
dissatisfied. Ten cases Of headaches have
been reported cured
Professor Seward does not treat diseased
eyes and makes no charge for consultation T;
if he can not do you any good he will not
accept any fee. If you need glasses ad-
! justed, and value your eyesight, call on
Professor Seward at the Olympia hotel be-
fore it is too late.

Peck's Trouble.

New YORK, September 21.-An Albany
special says that Commissioner Peck's en-
enemies are after his scalp, although he is
now under bail to stand trial for destroy
ing public records. They yesterday had
his case presented to the grand jury. 1t is
alleged that the failure of the attempt to
get the case railroaded through the police
court was the direct cause of presenting it
before the grand jury. 1t is considered al
most certain that the indictments against
both Commissioner Peck and Stenographer
Rogers will be handed down when court
meets. In that case, bench warrants will
at once be issued against both of the ac-
cused, who will undoubtedly furnish bail
to await trial
