on the Michigan.

John Murray and ]. Brunn, the two men
VINO were kidnapped from the steamer
Wasco Monday evening, returned to the
Guy on her last evening for the purpose of
Identifying and prosecuting the five men
VINO carried them away in the rowboat.
lney claim that they were robbed of re-
Voiver, pocket-knife and 81 in money,
ana that but for the manly stand taken by
one OF the five men, who would not allow
the others 10 maltreat them, they would
undoubtedly have been seriously injured.
On landing at Smiths cove they were
compelled to walk across the point down
TO Salmon bay. where another rowboat
was secured. and they were taken. across
the bay and put on the road to
Edmonds. They say that if the
police had fired half dozen more shots
from the Wasco when the boat was landing,
tile kidnapers would have waved flag of
truce. Asst was, four of the five wanted
to give up, but the fifth had too much
sand" and urged them on. The bullets
were dropping in close proximity to them
and they expected every moment that
some one of them would be struck.
The men have large circle of friends at
Coupeville. who have promised them all
the packing they want In following the
case up. They say they know number
OF the men who boarded the steamer and
can easily pick out those who were in the
rowboat. Just what steps they are taking
in the matter they refused to make public,
but 1t was intimated that the police are
working on the case.
When the Wasco reached Coupeville
Tuesday it was thought she might have a
union crew on board, and large crowd
had gathered at the wharf where she was
to land to give them a warm reception.
Captain Hoyt said:
Ii had had union men ] believe they would
nave been mobbed. The citizens do not propose
to take revenge on the union men on any of the
other boats land ng there. but it will not be safe
Tor union men TO go in there on the Waseo for
some time to come | had no trouble in finding
a crew, and the two men who had been kid
mapped offered to go back on the boat again, but
hal already filed their places and did not
need them.
The captain is even more resolute than
ever in his opposition to the union men,
and the union men are just as determined
that the boat will have to employ men,

No Grounds for the charge.

After several hours had been occupied in
Judge Humes' court yesterday in hearing
the case of Thomas Rowley. charged with
the seduction Of Maggie Benson, the court
ordered that the case be dismissed. The
evidence introduced was of the vilest char
acter, and after listening to it for some
time the court announced that. while there
had evidently been criminal relations be-
tween Rowley and the woman, there was
no testimony to support charge of seduc-

Owing to the attachment of the Madison

Of the Sailors UNION, received a dispatch

Nonantum and Tidal Wave, now at Port
Madison, requesting him to go over there,
as the sailors we're having trouble on both
vessels. Accordingly he went over yester-
day. and on his return last evening gave
the following statement of the affair to

ELECTRICITY ON RAILROADS.
Northern Pacific Investigating Wizards
Scheme-How 1t VIII Work.


Scheme-How 1t VIII Work.
A Pittsburg dispatch tells of the investi-
cations now being carried on by the
Northern Pacific railroad with view to
the use of electricity as motive power on
railroads, advocated by Henry Willard.
1t reads:
A. commission OF nine railroad experts has
been investigating here the subject of electrical
transportation as applied to railroads. The
commission represented the Northern Pacific,
Wisconsin Central, and osher roads. The
members visited the Edison works, and Thorn
son-Houston works at Lynn, Mass, and then
spent two days at the Westinghouse works
here. The result OF their labors, which have
been concluded, and the intentions Of the rail-
roads they represent, were partially re-
vealed by Chief Engineer McHenry, OF the
Northern Pacific company, whose headquarters
are at Tacoma. He said: II believe that the
motive power will be applied directly to the
axles OF each car, thus making each car its own
motor. Experiments are to be proceeded with
at once; they will take place at the various
works and much of the cost viii be borne by the
railroads. / don't see why electricity should
not displace locomotives, especially over steep
grades The question which will be most diff
cult of disposal will be the transmission OF the
current and the obtaining OF adequate eonduc-
tiyity in the wires"

Not Crazy. but Sick.

William Gill, laborer, who has been
acting strangely, was brought before Judge
Liehtenberg on charge of insanity. After
examining him the judge decided that the
man, although not exactly rational, was
suffering from sickness. He told the court
OF having friends in Victoria, and that he
came from that place but few weeks ago.
The man had over $40 in his clothes when
arrested, and Judge Lichtenberg ordered
that be be sent back to Victoria In order to
allow him to be admitted to a hospital
there. The court explained that he
thought this the proper method, instead
OF having the man charge on this county.

Immediately the husband began his bad
treatment of his wife. He made repeated
promises TO reform, but never kept them
for any length of time. During the spring
OF 1881, while the couple were living at
Pomeroy, Sheffield was in the habit of
coming home drunk daily. His language
also became very abusive. Finally the
wife was compelled to leave him.
