WANT TO LYNCH HIM.
A Mob After Ex-POIiceman Henry,
of Seattle.

SEATTLE, October 29.-Last night fifty Or
sixty people, living in Ballard. were look
ing for Thomas Henry, the Ballard police
man, who was on Thursday acquitted on
the charge of murder for killing H. Hem
erickson on June 1S last. Many believed
that the shooting was cold-blooded
crime, and there was great indignation
among them at the result of the trial. The
feeling against Henry has been very bitter
among the dead mans friends, and espe-
cially those of his own nationality.
Henry went to Ballard yesterday, and
was about town all day. His presence there
excited those who believed him to be a
criminal, and especially some of the dead
mans Scandinavian friends. Knots of
men gathered on the streets and discussed
the shooting and the acquittal and there
were mutterings and many threats of
lynching. Hearing these, the authorities
were on the alert for any demonstration,
and during the evening the two wa tchmen
went over to Henry's house to notify him
to be on his guard, but he was gone.

Pierce County TrIck-One Hum
dred Business meu Call Down
Chairman Sullivan.
TACOMA, October 29.-More than 100 of
the city's leading business men and promi-
nent citizens marched down Pacific avenue
yesterday afternoon, in double file, to the
republican state central committee rooms,
to protest against the committees course
in Pierce county. Charlie Sullivan was
accused of using the committees inAu-
ence to defeat the nominees for the legisla-
ture, because they were pledged against
John B. Allen for United States senator.
Their stately tread down the avenue caused
much excitement, and when they filed into
the committee rooms an immense crowd
gathered in front of the building, and
cheered them as they left. Sullivan
was accused in explicit words and
he practically admitted it was true,
but promised that hereafter the committee
would keep its hands off the local fight in
Pierce county. The political fight here grows
hotter from day to day and never were
men more determined.
1t was learned today that M. G. Sullivan,
the Portland detective, was here with a
number of men, in the interest of McGraw,
and very many expect some dirty work to
show up before November 8th. There
seems to be a general feeling that the Sc
attic ring intend to do some dirty work
like the Metcalf bribery business,
and that they were determined
to elect McGraw, if they had to
adopt their old methods ito do it.
Fraud is looked for in every part of the
state and it is believed here that the detec-
tive force Of Sullivan is to be used to pro-
tect them throughout the state and that
every kind of excitement, such as the arrest
of prominent democrats and anti-McGraw
republicans, will be made and that while
they are pretending to prevent the DEM
ocrats and others from committing fraud
the ring will have accomplished their
end by doing the fraud themselves. 1t will
be the old cry of "Stop thief" interest
ing developments are anticipated by We'd
nesday next.

western part of the city, was shot and
dangerously wounded last night by two
unknown men, who drove up to the store

chase, but instead Of paying for the same,
one of the men presented a revolver and
demanded money. Hildebrant eudeavored
to parley with the man, but the latter fred
at him, the shot taking effect in Hide.
brant's stomach. Two more shots were
fired, butneither striking the injured clerk,
and the men then drove hastily away with
out securing any money. A man living in
the vicinity followed the buggy until
warned by the occupants that if he did not
desist they would shoot him also.

States navy, who has until recently been
on duty at the light house station at Sta
ton island, expects to get the light house
tender ColUmbine under way tomorrow af-

Losses and Tnsurauce.

Losses and Insurance.
MILWAUKEE, October 29.-The scene in
the burned district this morning is one of
blackness and desolation. A black pail of
smoke hovers over the great area, relieved
here and there by ylambent tongues ofAame,
tapping red, like the tongue of some mon
ster carniverous animal hungry for yet
more prey. But the destroyer has received
the death blow, and is powerless to inflict
further injury. Where last night stood
stately business houses, with their wealth
of merchandise, little homes ofthe working
poor and all that goes to make up the life
of great city, is today heap of hot and
smoking ruins. In twelve hours from six
O'Clock last night, was crowded destruction
that will take more than as many months
to repair and much of the work wrought
by the flames can never be restored. Start
ing in store of the Union Oil company, in
East Water street, the fire swept before the
fierce gale, over thirteen blocks of business
houses and residences, more than three
hundred houses in all, and caused loss of
five lives and $6,OOO,OOO worth of property.
1t is now entirely under control but the
ruins in places are burning iercely and will
be several days before the last spark is ex-
tinguished. The gas works were in immi-
nent danger, but by good management they
were fortunately saved and are almost in
tact and within day or two the city will
have the usual gas supply.
The following are the estimated losses on
business houses:

Will nUILD A BULKHEAD.

Steps Taken TO Protect the County
Road Near Tumwater.
AT a recent meeting of the county
commissioners it was decided to CON
struct bulkhead on the county road
between Olympia and Tumwater, and
Engineer A. G. Gillis was employed to
draw up plans and specifications for the
work. The bulkhead will be constructed
at the Portland and Puget Sound crossing.
Rain has caused the embankment at that
point to wash down considerably during
the last six months, and bulkhead is an
absolute necessity. The county will spend
about $500 on the work.

The total insurance is estimated at S3,-
100000. 1t is feared that some of the small
insurance companies will be badly crippled.
1t is known that four lives were lost, and
four people are seriously hurt. The killed
are: Henry Peddenbrock and Charles
Starr, fremen, crushed under falling walls;
Mrs. Kalahan and an unknown woman
died from the effects of the shock. 1t is
feared that the watchman of the Bub &
Kipp Co. was burned in the factory. That
the loss of life is so small is a cause for
congratulation.
1t was shortly after o'clock that Mayor
SOmers saw the need of help, and at once
telegraphed to the adjutant-general for the
militia, and to Waukesha, Oshkosh Keno
sha, Racine and Chicago for seven fire
apparatus. Prompt replies were received
in every instance, and the fiTemen from the
outside did effective work, as did the mill
tia, in the way of guarding the property,
keeping the crowds back and rescuing en-
dangered persons.
A conservative estimate of the people
rendered homeless is based on recent reg
istration in the burned district, and places
the number at 1000. Nearly all are poor
and have lost the little all they possessed,
and are dependent on outside help. Last
night the hospitals and citizens threw open
their homes to them, and means are being
taken to provide for their immediate wants.

take action today. The Germania society
has decided to turn over the receipts of the
fair to be held next week. Five hundred
dollars has been subscribed by the demo-
cratic candidates for Office and $500 has
been received from the republican state
central committee. The fifth corpse, that
of an unknown man crushed by falling
wall, is at the morgue.
Several hundred business men assem- bled
at the board of trade this morning to raise
funds for the fire sufferers. In a short
time nearly $4,000 in subscriptions was
announced, among them $1,000 from P
D. Armour, Chicago; $1,000 each from the
Wisconsin Fire and Marine Insurance
bank, John L. Mitchell, @. F. Illsley, Cud-
ahy Bros, H. 9. Payne, E. P. Bacon, Ms
R. Rosseau, Fred Pabst; $4,000 each from
the democratic candidates and the Brew
ers' association A committee was ap-
pointed to increase the sum to 500 900.
The exposition building, schools and
churches have been opened to the desti-
tute. Mayor Somers says that while the
people of Milwaukee ask no aid to care for
the destitute, they will be grateful for any
contributions which friends are inclined to
make.
The total loss to the insurance companies
is between 81, ,5OO, 900 and 81, ,OOO, 900, divided
between about one hundred companies
Secretary Wilson, of the Underwriters,
says all the losses will be paid. No com
pany will be crippled

effectually than the one now in ex-
istence. This is but the beginning
of more intimate relations between
the governments of these countries,
out of which mutual advantage to
each shall grow. There always has
