Numbering Country Houses.

WAsHINGToN CITY, March 1I-lSpecial.
The Textbook system of locating and
numbering country houses, SO successfully
introduced in Contra Costa county, Cal,
has recently engaged the attention of the
postmaster general, who wants to see if
1t IS not of Importance in connection with
the extension of the free delivery into the
country. The practical working of the
Contra Costa plan is especially gratifying
to all friends of rural free delivery, be-
cause it removes the only obstacle to rapid
and accurate service in the country. 1t is
Textbook system with the same useful
ness and even greater accuracy than that
OF the city system, because it gives not
only the location, but the exact distance
OF every house from given point. Start
ing from convenient center, say the
county seat, each mile is divided into ten
equal parts, or blocks, having a frontage
OF thirty-two rods. Two numbers are
assigned to each block, the odd ones on
the left and the even ones on the right.
Wherever country houses are near enough
to be situated within the same block
they have the same number, but
are distinguished as follows: 525, 525 a,
525 b. etc. Distances can be quickly cal
culated from the county seat or from one
house to another by the simple method of
dividing the difference by two (there being
two numbers in each block) and the result
by ten for answer i'll miles. AS the Sec
ond step is instantaneous by the decimal
method of pointing off two places, the en-
tire process is very rapid. For instance:
Four hundred aud twenty-five is 213
blocks. or tenths of miles, equivalent to
2l.3 miles from the county seat or point of
departure. Significant and appropriate
names are given to roads, and all by-roads
are further indicated by the three words,
local, connex and exit, which have definite
and uniform meanings, the first having no
outlet, usually terminating in the hills
and for local convenience only; the sec
ond applied to short connecting roads, and
the third having no outlet by land, u.s.
ually ending at a landing with a water

STATE SUPREME COURT.
Decision Against Superior Judge Smith
Everett Tide Land Case.

Everett Ifue LAM thses
OLYMPIA, March 11.-[Special. THE
supreme court today granted the writ of
prohibition asked for by County Attorney
Rockford, of Yakima county, against the
superior court of that county and Judge
Solomon Smith, forbidding the allowance
of stenographer's fees in the civil action of
Benton VS.. John Cox, involving the
rights of 12S persons to use for irrigation
the waters of certain stream in Yakima
county. The testimony in the case being
voluminous, Judge Smith, who was called
in to try it, decided that he could not
properly discharge his duties without a
stenographic report of the evidence, and
as the parties would not furnish it he en-
ployed a stenographer for the purpose and
attempted to make the county pay the
bill, the total of which was expected to
reach $1,000. The supreme court decides
that stenographers' fees cannot be made
charge against the county in any civil
action.

mission to hear the contest case involving
the Everett tide lands was argued today.
The refusal of the commission to proceed
with the hearing was based on the opinion
of Attorney General Jones, that tide lands
cannot be appraised in county until har-
Dor lines have been established in such
county. The opinion of the supreme court
will not be handed down for several days
but the court has decided to refuse to grant
the writ, thus sustaining the position of
the commission.

The Kettle Falls Bubble,

RocHEsr FL, n. Y, March 4.-The Kettle
Falls Land Company was formed here
two or three years ago with $500, 900
capital stock, and purchased a tract
of land of 900 acres on the Columbia river
at Kettle Falls, Wash. 1t laid out
a city there. Affairs were prosperous
until about year ago, when a quarrel
arose between the stockholders and the
former officers and directors, the former
charging the latter with forming a syndi-
cate whose object was the purchase of lots
of the company at low rate and their
sale at higher rate. An action was
brought today against Horace C. Brew
ster, George w. Weaver, William C. Wait,
Henry ?. Ranger, William B. Arts, George
S. Morley and Franklin d. Sherwood to
recover $l00, 800 for money lost in this way
The defendants claim that they have
offered to restore to the company the lots
purchased at the exact figure for which
they were sold if the plaintiffs were in
any way dissatisfied with the bargain.

Tariff Policy Peoples Party
Forming Queer Alliances.

BALTIMORE. March lin an interview
tonight ex-President Cleveland said
he thought the main issue of the
Democratic party next fall would
be the tariff. He thought the
best plan of attacking the tariff in con-
gress was a general bill. but was willing to
defer to those on the ground and who have
the battle to fight. Regarding the Democ-
racy's ultimate success, he said if the
party was true to itself and its principles
and fulfills its pledges, it cannot be de-
feated.
CHICAGO, March 11.-Hon. Henry Wat
terson, in an authorized interview today,
virtually called upon Cleveland to with
draw from the presidential race. Waiter
son said the nomination of the ex-presl-
dent would be suicidal for the Democratic
party. Hill, too, he believed.
had dug his own political
grave in New York. and he regards the
conflict there as practically irreconcilable.
The party, he says, must come West for a
candidate, or seek him in Massachusetts,,
Pennsylvania or Maryland. In practi-
calIy calling upon Cleveland to withdraw
Watterson rather scored that gentleman.

vention may see fit to nominate will suit me.

for granted that he will in due time Withdraw

Being asked who he thought were avail

Pattison and German. In fact, said he,
the woods are full of available candidates.

New York, March 11.-Edwin H. Conger,
United States minister 10 Brazil, arrived

TACOMA, March 11.-[Special. Charles
r. Barber, for whose arrest warrants
charging ENLIGHTENMENT and seduction

ing Those Not Killed.

BgussELs, March 11.-An accident &C.
Cured today in colliery near Charleroi
which, it is feared, will result in great
loss of life, estimated at about 200.
The miners were at work in the
coal pit. when there was a
terrific explosion of fire damp, the shock
from which resembled an earthquake.
The explosion occurred at the Annderlins
colliery. in gallery 400 feet below the
surface where go were at work. large
force of volunteers soon cleared
the mouth of the mine of the debris and
the rescuers descended and after a long
interval of weary suspense brought to the
surface thirty or forty unfortunates
sheet flames must have shot through the
mines, as the miners eyelashes and hair
were all singed off. The party again de-
scended.
The crowds increased as the day wore
on. The rescuers began to come to the
surface, q few at time, bear
ing one or two manged forms.
The scenes usually incident to
such disasters were re-enacted with. if
possible, more than usual intensity. The
work of the rescuers was greatly re-
tarded by the noxious gases still
remaining in the mine. There is hardly
shadow of hope that any Of the men who
were in the mine at the time of the ex-
p!osion are now alive.
OF the miners who were at work at the
time of the explosion forty escaped by
means of a second shaft.

Type Foundry Trust Contaminated.

New York, March lit is now said
that the rumored scheme that syndicate
of English and American capitalists to buy
all the leading type foundries in this
country and consolidate them in the
nature of trust has been consummated,
all but two concerns having come into the
combination. The plan as reported is not
to buy the foundries outright, but to form
them into a great combination in the
nature of trust. One-thlrd of the pur-
chase price of each foundry is to be paid
outright in cash; one-third in the pre-
ferred stock of the combined corporation,
and one-third in ordinary stock. The
total valuation of all the companies whose
options are now held is said to reach close
to 100000. The principal benefit from
the combination will come in avoiding
competition, which has had demoraliz-
ing effect on business.

a Ship With a History.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE Ameri-
can ship Big Bonanza arrived in port this
morning from Baltimore in command of
Captain Bergman, with a cargo of coal.
The Big Bonanza has 4 history. She was
built at Newburyport, Mass, for Captain
Stanley. There was not stick that went
into the vessel that was not picked ont by
him. and he went in her as captain. 1t is
said Stanley was hard man on board
ship, and the same crew rarely made a
second trip with him. Several years ago,
while the Bonanza was rounding the
Cape of Good Hope, he was pushed or
fell overheard. His loss was
not discovered until the following
morning, and the first mate put back Tor
him, bat he was never seen again. About
six months ago Lorentz Foard and James
Madison bought the vessel in New York
and loaded her for Baltimore, from which
point she came to san Francisco. She
registers lap tons gross, and is 2l0 feet in
length, 40 feet in breadth of beam and 2i
feet in depth of hold. She is admirably
suited for the carrying of any kind of
cargo, and if she does not get charter
here she viii be put in the coasting trade.

NEW ! DIRK, March 1.-THE coroner to-
day began an investigation into the cause
of the death of Norton and Norcross, the
men killed in the dynamite explosion in
Russell Sage's Office on December last.
The only testimony Of interest was that of
William L. Laidlaw, who claims that Sage
placed him between the bomb-thrower and
himself. I.aidlaw was seriously injured
and wounded, and is now suing Sage for
q heavy amount OF damages for placing
him in such danger. Russell Sage was
next on the stand. He contradicted
Laidlaw's statement that he was grasping
his hand at the time of the explosion.
Laidlaw, he said, was at the other end of
a long table, against which he was lean
ing. and door was between them. The
jury brought in verdict that Henry l..
Norcross came to his death by the explo-
sion of combustibles dropped by himself;
and also finding that Benjamin Norton
came 10 his death at the same time and
place by the same explosion. The Jury
recommended that the legislature pass a
law Immediately making it an olfense
punishable by imprisonment for any per-
son to carry any object whatsoever capa-
BE of destroying life and property, with
out proper authority.

Lynching May Follow Miscarriage.

Closing Arguments in Whatcom Court
Lynching May Follow Miscarriage.
WHATcoM, March 1l.-ESpecial. THE de-
Tense in the Swiloos, or Placer, case closed
last night. The rebuttal, which was not
marked by anything of a pronounced
character save the discovery of more blood
to the credit of the young half-breed,
Henry Williams occupied a portion of
this forenoon. The witness Williams was
asked by the defense to thrust his hand
into pocket of the pantaloons he had
worn on the day of the murder and to
turn the same inside out. He did so. The
prosecution asked: "What is that? point
ing to stain. The witness, who is alleged
10 be prin ipal in the infamous murder,
answered coolly: "That is blood. Who
put it there?"
The bloody garments in each case have
been in the possession of the Indians who
are active in behalf of Swiloos. The
pantaloons were ruled out. Opinions diff
fer as to the guilt of defendant, although
the majority of spectators think the testi-
mony of the defense a carefully prepared
conspiracy to acqult Swiloos and hang the
half-breed nephew, Williams.
Attorney Kerr made the opening argu-
ment for the state, and was followed by
S. II. Piles for the defense. The defense
is not through yet with argument. There
are rumors of lynchlng should there be a
failure to convict.
