The sensational Partisan drama, "The Mys.

mounting of the play wxs superb; indeed, gen.
eral excellence marked the production In this

fourth act was 4 model OF its kind. and this was
completely overshadowed by the magnificent
ocean scene OF the act succeeding, in which

HUMAN HEAD ON A STAKE.

Horrible Find OF Two Prospectors ON
South Fork Of tho Skykomish.
human head, cut of and left hanging in
the woods, is the story of a "ind" made by two
seattleites on Saturday morning last The
gentlemen In question, l. w. and C. Ii. Gray,
live ct Cos East street, In the Walla Walla addi-
ZION. They are prospectors, and were In search
oil the mineral when they found what they
were not searching for, q detailed above. The
location OF the find was accurately desetbed
by them to the coroner ~ being tho extreme
northeast corner of King county. It is on the
south fork OF the Skykomish river, about fifteen
miles above it, junction with the north fork at
Granite and about one and a half miles below
where Miller river empties into the south fork.

less than mile to the north, being the north

The Messrs. Gray say that they came across
the thing entirely Unexpectedly. At q little
distance it bore resemblance whatever to any
part OF human being Il was strung an
stick Of wood, which had been run through
underneath the Jaw and out through the mouth.
The stick was then suspended horizontally
about four feet from the ground in the notches
OF two vine naples standing close together.
And there the head hung, staring up into the
sky out of empty eyes, . horrible sight No
trace could be found of q body. The head
had been hanging for some weeks evidently, a.

nationality of the dead man could not be told.

NET In DENSE FOG.
Steamer Flyer and Mary f.
Perley Collide.
BOTH WERE footing WHISTLES
Perley Swung Around In Front Of
Flyer and Lost wheel and
Fantafl.

A collision occurred between the steamers
Flyer aud Mary +. Perley just beyond Alki
point yesterday morning, the latter boat just
escaping being sunk and her wheel and fantails
being completely demolished. The accident
was due to the dense fog.
The Flyer was on her way to Tacoma on her
morning trip and q few minutes after she
rounded Alki point the Perley hove in sight,
coming from vashon island. Neither boat was
sighted uatil they had come within 100 yards Of
each other head on. As soon az Capt. Redding,
OF the PeIley. saw the Flyer he threw his helm
nard to port, and the boat answered 80 quickly
that she swung right around and lay almost ut
right angles in the Flyers course. The captain
oil the Flyer also threw his helm to port, but
the boat being heavy she did not An.
swer readily enough to pass, but struck
the Perleys fantails, breaking them and her
piston rods OF like pipestems and demolishing
her wheel. The Flyers engines had been re-
versed, but the distance was too short and she
struck at almost full speed. The Flyers stem
was badly battered. Strange to say, the hull OF
the Perley was not injured, but had she been
struck . few feet further forward nothing
could have saved her from sinking and several
OF those on board would certainly have been
drowned.
After the collision the Flyer pushed the Grip
pied steamer out on the beach aud the steamer
Glide brought her passengers and freight into
the city. The Flyer then proceeded on her
way.
There were about fifteen people on board the
Perlsy when the collision occurred, and they
were all terribly scared. Among the passengers
on board were Mr.. and Mrs. A. p. Burwell, their
daughter and Mr.. Burweirs father, coming in
from Chautauqua- Mr. Burwell said he thought
at first the boats would pass all right, but when
he saw they were going to collide, he felt sure
the Perley was going down and he ex-
pected nothing but death. He thinks
the only blame that attaches to anybody for the
accident Is the fact that the Flyer was going at
full speed in such dense fog. He thinks boats
ought to be compelled to run slow during foggy
weather.
The officers and passengers on each boat
claimed that the whistle OF their boat was kept
sounding at frequent intervals. 1t 10 claimed
that just before they met the Flyer blew two
whistles and the Periey answered with one,
which led to confusion. Then again the Perley
was blamed for being thrown across the Flyers
bow. One thing seems peculiar, and that is
how the two boats came to occupy the same
course If both were footing their whistles.
The steamer lola takes the Perley's run while
the latter 10 laid up

This matter disposed OF. Judge J. R. Lewis
said that J. O. EASTWOOD, of Seattle, with the
approval OF the Washington Worlds fair COM
mission, had submitted a proposition by which
the chamber was asked to pay 8, 500 for certain

Chicago exposition. The chamber did not APP
prove OF the scheme, and he offered the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted:
RESOLVED, That the seton Of the Washington
Worlds fair commission in opening TO- com petit.

ington state building, deserves and should re-
ceive the condemnation of the people OF the

test against the same. .

the work Of the organization, and 4. o. Graves
replied that the finance committee was Con.
sdering plan OF reorganization which would
be ready to submit to the next regular meeting
OF the chamber. The meeting then adjourned.
