Six Deaths Result in Ne

SEATTLE, Wash. Nov. 22.-Reports
of storm throughout the western por-
ton of the state are still worse today,
and prospects of rail communication
being restored are abandoned; for sew
eral days. Five deaths are reported as
the result of the floods while the
loss of property in the shape
of farm buildings carried away
and wrecked will amount to thousands
of dollars. The valleys of Duwamish
stretching to the northward are vast
lakes. In the Stuck valley, as far as
the eye can see, the valley is a Seething
lake in which logs, shingles, wrecked
buildings. railroad ties, uprooted trees
and DEBRIS are jammed together ten to
twelve feet deep.
In the Chehallis county the Northern
Pacific bridge on Gray'S branch is SO
weak that the trains dare not cross Un-
til the high water recedes. The Great
Northern will not be able to run trains
until the bridges are repaired. the slides
removed and the track rebuilt. The
Seattle, Lake Shore u Eastern runs
trains to the international boundary,
but a transfer is made around the
slide at Blackman. Three or four
small steamers are reported sunk in the
Snohomish river. but no lives lost. The
large steamer is carrying passengers to
Malcolm to take the rail connection to
the East. The Canadian Pacific has
almost entirely escaped any damage or
delay. Frame houses of all descrip-
tions have been seen floating in nearly

New YORK, Nov. 22.-Edward J.
Woosey has obtained au order from
Justice Ingraham, of the supreme court,
requiring Fanny S. Woolsey to show
cause why the judgment for divorce she
acquired against him should not be set
aside. On the affidavit on which the
order was given Mr. WoolSey says that
the charges were unfounded, and he de-
sires to prove that they were untrue,
and that his wife has been intimate with
Frank K. Sturgis, who testified against
him yesterday, and Edward Ptdelford.
MIR. WOolsey is member of all the
Jockey clubs, Fleetwood, Manhattan,

The announcement of the above pro-

named as correspondent, is a member of
wealthy family of Baltimore, and a

this city. He and his wife were divorced
several years ago, and she went on the

PUT UP THE CASH.
Two Chicago Papers Quarrel as to
Which Has the Largest Cir
culatiOn.
Two $4,000 Checks Are Up, the
Losers to Go to Some
Charity.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-Newspaper read
ers are watching with interest just now
contest for supremacy between two
Chicago papers. The Inter Ocean and
the Tribune have put up $4,000 apiece
on the questions of comparative cireu-
lation. The winner Will get nothing
but his $4,000 back again. The money
of the loser will go to some charity.
After the election the Tribune insiuu-
ated that the Inter Ocean was in cave
of gloom. The Inter Ocean replied that
some of the gloom was in the Tribune'S IS
eye and most of it in the Tribune's soul,
and all because the Inter Ocean six
days week had bigger circulation
than the Tribune. 1t mad been growing
for fifteen months, and would keep on
growing until its circulation exceeded
the circulation of the Tribune on Sun
day., 80
Then the Tribune's sporting blood was
up, and it gave out fiat talks of double
ger than the Inter Ocean-S10,0 600 said
it was-it was twice as big in Cook
county as the Inter Ocean, six, seven or
even eight days of every week, and an
other $4,000 said it was. After some
sparring both with and for wind, the
Inter Ocean Nov. 10 deposited with the
First National bank $4,000 on the prop
osition that if the Tribune could not
prove its circulation to be greater for
the six secular days of the week from
Oct. l, 1892, it should forfeit $4,000 to
charity. Ii the Inter Ocean proved the
larger circulation the Tribune was to
forfeit $4,000 to charity.
The Tribune demurred at this; it
wanted $4,000 or nothing, and the Inter
Ocean went through the process of GER
tifying another $4,000 check and put
ting it up. Then the Tribune said it
would be around on Monday with It's
money, and yesterday its certified check
for $40, 900 went to the First National
bank. The question was to be decided
by three arbitrators, of which each
paper was to select one and they the
third. This the Tribune desired to
amend by appointing an arbitrating
board of five, one member of which is
the original Inter Ocean arbitrator.
The Inter Ocean insists on the original
proposition-the Inter Ocean to select
one judge, the Tribune one and the two
a third to examine the books.
