ment Rolls.

$500 in the Ninth Ward-Plan to
Rename Streets Tabled.

Mayor Ronald is out of the city and
President Sweeney, of the board of alder
men, has gone off on a short vacation.
President Kloeber is, therefore, the acting
mayor of the city. He was. therefore,
debarred last night from presiding over the
house of delegates, and Delegate Cook was
chosen. Assistant Corporation Counsel
Howe was in attendance on the council.
Alderman Daulton was elected to pre-
side over the board meeting.
The two houses met in Joint convention
to pass upon the assessment rolls for the
Improvement Of Lincoln, Aldine. Drexel
and Johnson avenues and Gould street
Delegate CaIligan was elected president Of
the Joint session. This was a very pointed
compliment, as the rule has been to give
an alderman the priority in honors.
City Clerk Stoneman read the necessary
papers. and announced that no objections
to the assessment had been made. The
rolls were separately approved, and now
60 into effect.
DR.. Crichton took the opportunity to
call up the matter of reducing salaries.
He was not in favor of going into the mat
ter without carefully considering the
duties of each officer and the salaries to be
paid. He asked the council if it could not
set some time tor a serious attempt to
arrive at some action.
The chair ruled that the session had
been specially called, and no business
other than the assessment rolls could be
considered.
The convention then adjourned.
AT the meeting of the board of aldermen
there were present: Daulton, Miller.
Wolfe, Carrie and Ingram. In the absence
of President Sweeney. Mr.. Daulton was
elected president pro tenn.
The petition for remaining the streets
and avenues of the city was laid on the
table
The following matters were referred:
Petitions for tho improvement of Boylston
street and Bush street; petition of Charles Case
for the return of SIS taxes overpad; petition of
J. K. Lewis for sewer on Third street to enable
the theater to make connection Herewith.
The board adjourned to meet next
Wednesday.
In the house of delegates an ordinance
was introduced providing for the regula-
ton of the liquor traffic. 1t puts into sys-
tenn the licensing of spirituous and malt
liquors, and as it is of considerable length
it was referred to the license committee
for report. The only material change is
that in the Ninth ward licenses may be
issued for the sale of malt liquors only
under fee of $500 year.
The remainder of the session W as devoted
to passage of five ordinances levying as
sessments on the streets whose rolls had
been approved, and an ordinance author
izing purchase of 2, 400 barrels of Portland
cement from Schwabacher Bros.
The house adjourned until Monday

Suspected Burglar Neatly Caught.

Detective John Roberts executed a nice
iece of detective work yesterday morning
while returning from Chehalis. where he
had been as a witness in the Priedo mule
stealing case. Several days ago the house
of a mill man at Chehalis was robbed Of
a watch. ring and small sum of money.
A warrant was issued for J. A. Martin,
who was suspected, and the Seattle po-
lice notified to be on the watch for him.
Two Lewis county officers were on the
train with Roberts, but got off at Bucoda.
AS the train pulled out little fellow
answering the description of the burglar
got on. Roberts formed an acquaintance
with him, and persuaded him to come to
Seattle, and on his arrival locked him up
on suspicion. The Lewis county officials
were notified in the morning, and Sheriff
]. w. Barnett wired Roberts to hold Mar
tin, and he would come on the first train.

Democratic Committee DeadlOcked-
How Gleason EXPLAINS 1t.

How Gleason Explains 1t.
The Democratic county committee adj
journed at 3 :05 O'Clock yesterday morning
until o'clock next Monday afternoon,
being deadlocked on the election of chair
man. Many of the members, being dele
gates to the state convention, had to leave
for Olympia or the balloting might have
continued Unfortunately. The twenty
fourth ballot was taken just before ad-
journment and resulted: Collins 81; Talbot
40. The Collins men claim that Collins
will yet win, while his opponents are
equally confident that they will defeat
him, and talk of springing dark horse
next Monday.
"If they want six months fight they
can have it, said James F. Gleason, secre-
tary OF the committee. yesterday. "Our
ranks are solid. The whole scheme is any
thing to down Collins. Wenever expected
a fight. and we gave the opposition the
Craftsmanship of the meeting, and he APP
pointed the committees against US. Mr..
Gilman was the principal one who gath
cred up the proxies of the country MEM
bers, and the meeting voted to allow those
proxies to stand, even when they had
been rescinded. We had kilograms from
absent members saying they wanted their
votes to be counted for Collins, but the
proxies OF those men were voted against
him. The bringing in of the two-thirds
rule was only part of their programme to
create a deadlock. They knew we had
majority as was shown III the fifth ballot,
when Collins received thirty-nine votes
out of seventy-four.
but why didn't you fight the two
thirds rule when you knew you could win
on majority vote ~
''Well, Collins friends from the country
didn't see the drift of the matter, and
they voted for the rule. But no one an
ticipated that the object of the rule was to
create deadlock"

No Relatives Here.

No Relatives Here.
Charles Henry Collier fell dead in his
room at the Boston house, corner of Main
street and Railroad avenue, yesterday
afternoon. Coroner Horton was called
and after investigating the case found that
the dead man had been subject to heart

cided that an inquest was unnecessary,
the body was removed to Bonney & Stew
arts undertaking rooms.
Collier was an Englishman, and came to
the city two years ago. He has been en-
ployed at restaurants and lodging houses.
Nothing is known of his relatives, with
the exception thai he has a sister some

his own words he heard from her last ten
years ago in Cincinnati. No arrangements
have been made for the burial of the body.

TO ABSORB WISCONSIN CENTRAL.
RumOr That Northern Pacific VIII Swal-
low II Is Reiterated.

low reiterated.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press says: Not
withstanding the evasive answers of
Northern Pacific and Wisconsin Central
officials to questions concerning the re-
ported amalgamation of those two rail-
roads, there is no doubt that it is among
the probabilities. Recent developments
point clearly to that conclusion and ar
engagements, ii is said. are already being
made in a quiet way for the absorption.
AT present the Wisconsin Central is
SO completely under the control of
the Northern Pacific that the gobble
will hardly produce ripple, so
far as the general public is con-
cerned. About dozen offices will
be abolished and their duties devolve upon
the corresponding offices in the Northern
Pacific headquarters. but this does not
necessarily mean that dozen men will be
set adrift with all their subordinates. The
various departments of the Wisconsin
Central will probably be made branches of
the corresponding departments of the
Northern Pacific, and the present officers
may be retained in the capacity of supor-
dinstes. If the absorption takes place,
the following Wisconsin Central officers
will bee let ont:
