SPLIT WIDE APART.
Two Peoples Parties to Put Up
Tickets.
ONE END WAGS ALL BY ITSELF,
Mass Meeting ut the Knights Of Labor
Hail-Convention to BE Held To-day
Regular Ward Meetings.

The mass convention of the Peoples
party in the knights of Labor hail last
night passed a resolution condemning the
seceders, who, headed by N. F. Knox. ed
itor OF the Peoples Cali, have gone out and
calied city convention to be held today,
to place in nomination full city ticket
After the split occurred P. II. McKernan,
Robert Bridges and 4. M. Williams were
appointed a committee from the Central
club to meet similar committee from the
seceders for the purpose of patching up
truce. The seceders' committee consisted
OF l.. NJ Robbins, Eugene Miller. who is
chairman OF the district organization, and
DR.. J. Moudy.
both committees met on Monday at
Eugene Miller's office. The result was
an agreement that the mass convention
called for last night and today's nominal
Ing convention should both be abandoned.
The agreement was written up and signed
In the presence of witnesses. but when Nc
Herman went to Knox's office with Rob-
BINS ana Moudy to get Knox, the dicta-
tors, signature, Robbins and Moudy both
scratched their names off before the docu-
ment was returned, leaving the breach
wider than ever.
McKernan reported these facts to the
convention last night, and the scorching
Knox and his followers got was enough to
dry the blood in their arteries.
l. ii. Bebeau presided over the mass
convention and ]. Fl. Bell acted as secre-
tary. About the only other business
transacted was the appointment of GEN.
tral committee with full power to manage
the affairs of the organization in the city.
The committee was appointed by wards,
as follows: First ward, Walter Merritt:
Second ward, o. c. Whitney; Third ward,
William Morris; Fourth ward, Louis

appointments were made from the other
wards, but the committee was given power
to fill the vacancies.
At the conclusion of the mass conven-
ton the Central club held brief meeting,

holding meeting for the purpose of Or
ganizing. T. Fl. Prunty reported that the
committee organized by selecting o. c..

COUNTY LITIGATION.
Judge Denney Talks Of the Situation
There-Much Ruainesa

uuko Dcuuey OF the SITUATION
There-Much Business.
Judge John C. Denney, of Snohomish, is
at the Grand hotel. on his way home from
Port Madison, where he has been attend
ing term of court. Mr.. Denney, who is
one OF the judges appointed last March for
the districts created at the session of the
legislature, presides over the superior
courts for Snohomish and Kitsap coun-
ties. A man judging from his personal
appearance would place his age at be-
tween 30 and 80 years, but as q matter
of fact he was 50 years old last
November. He was born in Ohio,
but while he was still boy
his family moved to Iowa and afterward
to Indiana. There he studied law and
was admitted to the bar. Soon after his
admission to the bar he moved to Western
Kansas, where he was for ten wears en-
gagged in successful practice. Then in
1883 he came to Washington and made his
home in Snohomish, where he has lived
ever since.
In speaking of the legal business in his
counties he said yesterday: THE work
in Kitsap county is increasing rapidly, and
that in Snohomlsh county is fast getting
beyond the powers of one judge
"Since / have been in office ! have
worked every week day, and-including
defaults-I have disposed of case day
on the average. Now, every lawyer knows
that it is almost impossible even to guess
at the law at such a rate as that: but when
lawyers are clamoring to have their cases
reached, there is nothing to do but give all
my efforts to expediting matters as rapidly
as is reasonable.
"You see, have all the probate and
equity cases as well as the criminal,
and the contests over land titles
are bringing up much important
equity business. King county has been
settled for considerable time and many
of the important decisions have already
been rendered, but in Snohomish county
land is just beginning to bring high prices,
so that people find it worth while to con-
test titles. Accordingly the next year or
two will see cases involving large sums of
money.
There is no doubt that the legislature at
its next session will find it necessary to
make Snohomish county district by
itself"

Church on Fourth Street.

Interesting Meetings In tho Baptist
Church on Fourth Street.
The Baptist revival meetings which
were started last Sunday are increasing in
interest. George Robert Cairns, the noted
singing evangelist. is not only fine
vocalist, but powerful preacher as well.
He presents the truth in very striking
manner, affecting both the protesting
Christian and the uncovered. Conversions
took place at the first sermon, and already
there are several to unite with the church.
Mr.. Adams, though a strong Baptist, ID in
no way bigoted. and works earnestly with
Christians of all Sc Is.
The public is cordially invited to attend
these services, which will last only about
three weeks. At the church on Fourth
street, between Cherry and James, there is
preaching every evening at 1880, and at 2
O'Clock in the afternoon Bible reading in
the church parlor. Next Sunday at 8
o'clock there will be a service for young
men only.

Oregon Improvement Company for

warehouses of the company on the water
front
J. E. Lilly, collector for the Oregon I'm
provement Company. said to a Posr-IS-
TELLreENcER reporter: "Mr. Lovett agreed
to paint the warehouses on the docks
for 20 cents square, which
In the painters trade means 100
square feet. When he brought the written
contract TO be signed Mr.. Bush was in a
hurry and asked him to call again next
day. Mr.. Lovett said he had to come
long distance ard that the contract was
all right and asked Mr.. Bus'' to sign it
then. Taking his word as gentleman,
Mr.. Bush signed the contract. 1t now
turns out that by mistake the contract was
worded 10 cents per square yard" instead
of "per square" and now, taking advant-
age of this mistake, Mr.. Lovett demands
payment of eleven times the amount
agreed upon"

Work to Be Pushed ThrOugh-Citiz ens
to Deepen the Columbia, Channel.

Harbor Line Commissioner Eugene semple
has gone to Vancouver, Wash, to meet
a corps of engineers and the work OF surveying
the harbor line of the Columbia river at that
point win begin, and will be pushed through
with as little delay as possible.
"The citizens of Vancouver" said Mr. Semple,
"are quito anxious to have the matter officially
settled, as they have plan on foot to improve
their harbor which cannot be put into execution
until the harbor line commissioners have COM
pleted their duty.
"They intend to dredgs the river and deepen
the channel to such an extent as will permit
them to handle large ocean vessels. The work
IS l understand 1t, will be done at private
expense, and the national government at some
subsequent time will be asked to reimburse the
citizens. If the project succeeds, Vancouver
may In time be a successful competitor against
Portland for the trade of the rich Willamette
valley. Ships will certainly not be taken up the
iiver twelve miles to Portland when they could
DO their dischsrging and loading just as well
and more safely at Vancouver"

POOR OLD SARAH M.DoNoUGH.
Weak Minded and Charged With Steal
Ing Chickens.

Ing Chickens.
Sarah McDonough, an old woman we'll
known in Seattle for her peculiarities of
action and character, and who. is now liv-
ing at Fremont, was arrested yesterday at
the instance of Harry Maquilkin for the
theft of number of chickens.
A few months ago Sarah made so much
trouble for her neighbors in Fremont that
she was arrested on charge of insanity,
and after hearing in the probate court
was sent to the asylum at Steilacoom.
She was discharged not long ago and re-
turned to Fremont. At the time of her
arrest three of the chickens claimed by
Maquilkin were found at her house. The
warrant was issued by Justice Remsberg,
but by a change of venue the case was
brought into Justice Won Tobel's court.
A hearing will be had tomorrow morning.
Mrs. McDonough few years ago had
quite snug sum of money laid away, but
since her infirmity of mind has become so
pronounced it has nearly if not all disap-
peared.
