Love Torn Fisherman's Threat
Arouses Wrath at Van Assets.

Arouses Wrath at Van Asselts.
lovelorn fisherman known by the name of
Chris has incurred the wrath of the workmen at
the Puget Sound Fire Clay C0mpany's works at
Van ASSET station, and they are anxious to pre-
sent him with as pretty a coat of tar and
feathers as ever adorned human form.
Chris is a middle-aged man who has been
fishing in the Duwamish river at the back of
the Fire Clay Company works all winter. A
workman named Watson has two daughters, the
younger of whom is 16 years old, and being
sprightly and fair to look upon, involuntarily
won the admiration of Chris. He became her
ardent sutton and finally proposed marriage.
She rejected him, but he continued his advances,
and each rebuff only infiamed his passion tho
more.
On Thursday evening Edward Pennington,
the stslwart 19-year-old son of the superintend-
ent, strolled along a path among the piles of
sewer pipe to the river bank. There he found
Chris, busily engaged in mixing pot of tar
He engaged in conversation with the fisherman,
who told his love for Miss Watson, and swore
that he would marry her or kill her, for she
should be no other mans wife. The youth then
asked him what he was going to do with the
tar. Apparently intending to make the youth
his confdant, he replied:
am going to take Miss Watson and strip her
and tar her all over. II she won't marry me,
she shall marry no other man.
The young man Indignantly told the fisher
man that If he attempted anything OF the kind
he would cut his heart out
Young Pennington then hurried back TO his
home, and told his parents, angrily vowirg ven
gsance on Chris. He carried the news to the
Watsons, and soon it spread among the other
workmen. A party of them went to the river
bank in search OF the fisherman. A fve-gallon
barrel Of tar and as bestos caught their eyes, and
they instantly resolved TO give Chris dose of
what he had intended for Miss Watson They
sought high and low for him, but he could no.
where be found. Alarmed at the threats of
young Pennington, he had fled or hidden.
close watch was kept for him all night and
all day yesterday. and if he re-appsnrs at Van
Asselts be is likely to find it a very unhealthy
community for him.

The board directed the superintendent OF
buildings to ascertain what is needed for the
polling places, and as the judges are likely to be

OF the election, he was authorized to hire stoves
for such booths as are in exposed places.

thirty-fve feet above what 1t ought to be. By

THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 81, 1892.
AT THE annual meeting of the Union

AT THE annual meeting of the Union
Prisoners Association il Washington
yesterday, the president O that orsanl,
zation. Mr.. Long, of New jersey, read
an address, in which he said that
Though Sod might call on us to for
give lie does not ask lis to forget.
He also repeated the old demonstrated
ralsehood that The Confederate authorl-
ties issued an order that all the prison
ers at Andersonvillc should be shot as
soon as the federal troops should come
within seven miles of that place. He
also said that at the last meeting OF the
association protest had been made
against a proposed Blue and Gray re-
union at the Chicago fair, a copy OF
which had been forwarded to President
Harrison. and had eliectually disposed
OF any such movement. No body could
be more thankful for such disposition
than right-thinking cx-Confedeeates.
1t is now twenty-eight years since the
close of the war, but that the embers
are still burning in the North is as
plain to those who run rs to those who
walk. and, what's more. those who
openly strive to stir them are applauded
by many of the people of that sec
ton. There could, of course, be no
better evidence on The subject OF
the statement referred to about
Andersonville, than that Of the sur
yiving officers stationed at that place
who certainly could not be held respon-
sible for such an order, if issued-every
one of whom denies that he ever heard
ofsuch thing until long after the war,
and then only from federal sources.
But. excluding Confederate evidence
entirely, what more conclusive reiGta-
ton OF this late revival Of the malicious
and incendiary falsehood could be
afforded than the following response
from a secretary of war, t northern
man, in reply to Il question on the sub
.iect:
Sir: hcg TO inform you that careful
search has been maze but no record of thi'
order is found on file among the Coufederat,
records. Very respectfully

Secretary of War.

Mr.. MURAr HALsrED says: with

ty disappears, the day Of the high des-
Tiny of the party is over, and the star of
its hopes forever declined" This is
true, and being SO, no southern man
with sense enough to come in out Of
the rain is going to do anything to
break that solidity, as the democratic
party is the only thing that has stood
between the South and It's haters in
the North in the past, and that can eff
fectually do so in the future. Mr. Hal
stead, if he had written Il volume on
the subject, could not have given the
people of the South better reason for
maintaining their solidity than that
contained in the few words quoted
above.

Mr.. INGE, who was, without the
slightest provocation, assaulted and
shot in Petersburg last week by two
young negro men who attended the
negro normal school there, is dead.
But for General Malone, the State
would have sold her interest in the
Norfolk and Western Railroad for six
million dollars. When that interest
was finally disposed of it brought half a
million. one-fifth ofwhich was spent on
the school referred to and for the support
of which the State makes annual pro-
vision. If her peaceful white citizens
are to be murdered without cause by
the negroes whose instruction those
citizens are taxed to pay for, the cues
ton that naturally suggests itself is,
why should those people Willingly sub
ject themselves to such taxation any
longer?
