BE WISE In TINE.
People Cannot Afford to Trifle
With the Eyesight.
Realizing This, They are Securing
Prof. Stewards Services.

Seattle seems to be full of wise people,
Judging from the steady stream of callers
at the parlors of the celebrated New York
optician, Prof f. d. Seward, now at the
Grand Hotel. His careful. scientific tests,
and the splendid success he has achieved
IN accurately adapting his fine lenses to
the eyes of scores of ladies and gentlemen
who are troubled with defective eyesight,
cause q repetition of his experience in the
large cities of the East and all the cities
that he has visited on the Pacific Coast.
In addition to the large number of
prominent citizens of Seattle who have
called to have glasses adjusted, many have
come from Everett, Anacortes, Whatcom,
Port Townsend and other surrounding
points. Letters of gratitude are being re-
ceived daily showing the satisfactory re-
suits of the work on the Coast.
Those intending to consult Prof. Seward
should do so without delay as he intends
to close his Office in this city in about two
weeks in order TO give some time to
Tacoma, Spokane Falls and Helena Mont,
on the return trip to New York. The pro-
fessor regrets that he cannot comply with
the earnest solicitations to visit the Bell
ingham Bay cities. Prof Seward is not a
quack doctor but an expert optician whose
reputation extends from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and stands second TO none.
Except in cases of charity, no glasses are
adjusted for less than $500. Consultation
free. Optical parlors, Aos- i1 and LIS,
Grand Hotel.

COL. TOWNER'S PLANS.
He Surveyed Union Pacific
Feeders for the Sound.
KILLED BY THE Barring FAILURE.
Railroads He Projected in the Sound
Country-Not Connected With WASH
fngton Southern.

The interesting story of the speculations
Oh colonel y. M. Towner on Puget Sound
was told a PosT-INTRLLIGEycER reporter
yesterday by A. Fl. Anderson, of Shelton,
one OF the principal stockholders in the
washington Southern railroad. He said:
Colonel fowne- came here about two years
ago with General Dodge, of the Union Pacific,
and President Jones, OF the Texas, Fort Worth
Denver railroad. After looking over the
sound country these gentlemen concluded to
run preliminary survey for road from Puget
City, between Olympia and Tacoma, up the
Nisquaiiy river to its headwaters; also for a
road from point opposite Astoria on the
Columbia river, via Castle Rock aud the Cow
htz pass, to some point to be determined east
oil the Cascades. Alter ascertaining that these
routes were feasible, Colonel Towner, repre-
sentlng these gentlemen, and through
them, the Union Pacific, asked
K. Mcdonald and me to incorporate the two
companies and have mortgages drawn up max
ing the Holland Trust Company, of New York,
trustees fo- the bondholders. The names OF the
two roads were the Puget Sound Southern and
the Columbia River & Eastern.
These two roads were designed evidently a.
feeders for the projected Union Pacific extern
sion from Portland to the Sound, and we be-
lieve they would have been built had not the
Barring failure oonvulsed the financial world
and changed the directory of the Union Pacific.
Colonel Towner and his associates possessed
minute information with reference to the coun-
try that it was proposed these two roads should
traverse, showing that they had for long time
carefully and secretly investigated its resources.
Towner was III the scheme because he was q
good man to work up subsidies aud rights-of-
way. He had all the land about Puget City
bonded.
Relative to the statement that Colonel Towner
is schemer, he had no connection with the
Washington Southern railroad, and never asked
Mr.. Mcdonald or me for dollar. As far al
know, he is all Iiaht

SAVED FROM A WATERY GRAVE.
Inquiry After Texan Recalls His
Rescue by a Seattleite.

Many inquiries have been made by letter from
Belaseo, Tex, in regard to the whereabouts OF
Lazarus Kangarger, q Mexican who formerly
lived there. kangarger died at Hadlock about
three months ago, but his friends in Texas had
received no information of the fact, having
heard nothing of him for the past year.
w. NJ. Graham, a diver and ship carpenter,
formerly worked at Beiasco with Kangsrger and
tells an interesting story Of how he saved the
latter's life and met him in this city last fall,
both rescuer and rescued having drifted TO the
Sound. He said:
In September, 1888, Kangarger was foreman of
gang OF about sixty la5orers employed on the
deep-water Improvement at Belasco. at the
mouth of the BRACES river, in Texss. His men
were unloading lumber to a wharf from two
barges, which were about one hundred feet
from the shore, the ends upstream being tied
together, while the lower ends were kept apart
by some dmbers projecting from one OF these
barges. l was ca king the deck OF the barge
nearest the shore. A mass OF drift had caught
against the upper ends OF the barges, and The
water, which was flowing nine miles an hour,
boiled up in big wave between the barges.
Some planks had been laid across between the
barges for walk and as Kangarger was walk
ing towards the inside barge he stepped on one
which did not reach clear across and fell into
the water. The men all rushed to the side and
looked over the side, but We're paralyzed and
did nothing to rescue him. ran to see what
was the matter and saw a leg above the water.
1t was the third time Kangarger had risen to
such rough day that seven lumber vessels lay
outside unable to get in, and the ifesaving
crew could not &C out in the gulf.
But, not knowing the danger, l jumped over
board and caught Kangarger by the leg. In a
moment we We're carried below both bargss and
would have drifted out to sea- shouted for a
line, and they threw one 500 feet long. 1t was
frozen hard and would have sunk instantly, but
the end happened to tall over piece of drift,
which kept it aioat. After they had paid it out
to the end swan to it, holding kangarger, who
was unconscious, with his head above water.
They then pulled us back to the scow. I dashed
another line to Rangarger and they pulled him
out They pulled me out in the same way.
Kankarger was sick for three DAYS after. l
did not know where he lived or l would have
gone to see him. The first day he was out was
sitting in the park at noon, when he came up to
me, put his arms around me and said: ~ owe
my life to YOU" He made me u present of a
gold watch and wanted to give me a suit of
clothes, but refused it.
never saw him again until last Thanksgiv-
ing, when met him in this city. He told me
then he was working at Hadlock. He died soon

HAS WATERY GRAVE
Small Boy Drowned While Fish
ing on the Flats.
TOO EAGER TO CATCH A GRAB.
He Overbalances and Falls Into the
Harbor to Be Carried Out by the
G Tide-A Rescuer's Mishsp.

Grover Schmidt, the e-year-old son of Fl.
Il. Schmidt, fell into the harbor yesterday
afternoon while fishing tor crabs off Com
mercial street and was drowned. His
body has not yet been recovered.
Accompanied by Herman Wren, aged 10
years the little fellow started out to fish
for crabs about II O'Clock. At certain
stages of the tide crabs run in great num-
bers along the mud flats in the neighbor-
hood of Commercial street. The boys
threw nets into the water near the foot of
Brunswick street and in an hours
fishing landed several of them. In
his eagerness to land crab which
had crawled into his net, Grover Schmidt
leaned out too far. He lost his balance
and fell into the water. He came up and
made frantic grab at pile, but the fast
ebbing tide carried him further away from
help and in few seconds he was beneath
the water for the last time.
For time Herman Wren was paraiyzed
with horror and unable to move. When
he regalned his self-control he gave the
alarm, and inside of fifteen minutes half a
dozen boats were out, each manned by two
or three men. The receding tide must
have carried the body out into deep water,
however, for all efforts to bring it to the
surface were unavailing.
Among the searching party were two
boys, one about u years old and the other
about IA. They had appropriated light
VIndian dugout and were padding it
around among the piles, when suddenly it
tipped over and the younger boy was
thrown into the water He chung to the
boat, however, and was soon pulled in.
II. Z. Schmidt, brother of the drowned
boy, is proprietor OF the European lodg-
ing-house and saloon, at 524 Commercial
street

quence caution was exercised.
Mr.. Robinson, his wife and three young

his wife, have been at the Grand hotel
during the trial. Mr.. Robinson has all
along intended, in the event

train by the Oregon Improvement Com

ing that he wished to act as free man,
but consideration for his wife and children
overcame his objections.

Franklin. Mr.. Robinson will this morn
ing resume his duties as inside foreman at
