IN SUPERIOR COURT.
The Dullest Day for News Re-
corded for Months.
ONLY a SINGLE CASE ON TRIAL.
New Filings OF Unimportant Nature
Judge Lichtenberg Grants Default
Against DIR. schade.

Yesterday was the banner dull day for
months in the superior court. The few
new suits filed were of an unimportant
nature, and the business transacted in the
courts amounted to little. Judge Lich-
tenberg was the only one to take up the
hearing of case. Two or three witnesses
were examined in the case of The King
County Bank VS.. The Edgecomb Lumber
Company before an adjournment was
taken until this morning. The suit was
brought to foreclose a mortgage given by
the company on timber lands in Snohom-
ish county and to recover 81, 0O7 %, an un-
paid balance due on promissory note.
Judge Humes did nothing more than
hear two or three motions of little import
ance. This morning he will take up his
motion calendar and occupy the rest of the
week in disposing of it. All attorneys
who have motions to argue are expected to
be present in court when their cases are
called, or they will be passed.
Judge Osborn also did nothing but hear
few motions and sign judgments.

Twenty-Six Men in the Vulcan Works
Have o Grievance.

nave y 6TIoVlnce.
The iron molders and their helpers,
twenty-six in all, employed in the Vulcan
Iron Works foundry have been on strike
since Saturday morning, because, 1t is
claimed, they were afraid they would not
get their pay for some work they did for
Frank Rich, q shop foreman, who had
contract from the company to get out
work by the piece. A lot of the work was
rejected and the company supplanted
Rich by letting the contract to David Nc
Kenzie. The men then wanted the COM
pany to guarantee the wages due them.
and on its refusal to do so they struck.
The matter was kept very quiet, neither
side wanting to have any publicity given
to the matter if they could avoid it. The
strikers held meeting yesterday in the
Western Central Labor Union hall and
discussed the affair at, some length, pre-
sumably considering certain dispositions
which had been suggaEef oniboth sides.
After the meeting . OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
reporter endeavored TO get a statement
from four or five who remained in the hall
talking. but, aside from the denial that the
Molders' Union had any hand in the
trouble, nothing was ELECTED hnt unkind
words.
The general facts appear to be that Rich
had an agreement with the company
whereby he paid the men and got out all
work by the piece. A large number of
very large plates he got out for the Everett
barge works were rejected, and he was sue
ceeded by Mr.. Mckenzie. as stated. The
men tried to get the company to stand
good for their wages, but did not succeed,
and the strike followed.
The trouble was in a fair way to be set
tied last night. as the company signified
its Willingness to employ them direct, and
abolish the contract system and see that
they were paid what was due them from
Rich. One of the officers of the company
said there was enough due Rich to pay the

THE SHOOTING OF TALLMADGE.
Street Car Employees Deny Carrying
Such a PASSENGER.


The shooting of young L. ]. Tallmadge
Saturday night is still as deep a mystery
as ever. He is getting along nicely at
Providence hospital and his speedy re-
covery is looked for. He still adheres to
the story that he wss shot by highway
man on Beacon hill and declares that he
did not attempt to commit suicide. He
refuses, however, to explain away the evil
dence that causes the detectives to reach
this conclusion.
A doubt now exists as to whether or not
the young fellow received the wound in
the head while on Beacon hill. w. A.
Goodhue, the conductor on the Beacon
hill electric car which was supposed to
have conveyed Tallmadge to the city after
the shooting, denies that any wounded
man boarded the car on Beacon hill at any
time Saturday night. The motorman of
the car, G. Richards, confirms Goodhue's
story. The conductor and motorman did
not make any denials concerning the story
of Tallmadge last until evening, and until
then the other employees of the James
street electric road firmly believed that
the young man was shot on Beacon hill.

WHEAT MARKET IN THE DUMPS
Europe Not Buying and Alliance People
Left With Big Stocks.


Left With Big stocks.
@. G. Austin, the grain broker, returned
yesterday from prolonged tour through
Eastern Washington. He has just recov-
cred from severe attack of the grip and
is still feeling the effects of it. Of the
wheat business he says:
The market is away down and shows no signs
Of improvement The cause is that the crop
was much larger than was expected, and there
is now a surplus OF 100000 bushels in Mime
sofa and the Dakotas. What causes the surplus
The simple fact that wheat is out OF the reach of
the poor people of Europe at present prices.
When it gets beyond a certain figure they take
to eating black brsu made of corn, rye and
barley. The Alliance people thought there was
going to be big shortage and held their crop
for big prices, but now the price has fallen to
about $50 cents. One man refused SL04 some
time ago who would be GLAD to get s31s cents
now. A Spokane man told me he could get all
the May wheat he wanted at 70 cents. The fact
is the Alliance people went crazy over the ex-
pectation Of a big shortage and high prices, and
they have been caught.
We are going to have the biggest crop we ever
had in Eastern Washington this year.

me, for l could easily throw the pesky
things into the street, but L am
much concerned that the price
of tin cups is SO low that no Demo-
GRAFT is poor enough to be
willing to even take his whiskey out of a
gourd, and l am expecting every day to
see some of my best customers come in
bringing gourds by the wagon load and
proposing to fill my large warehouse full
of your substitutes for tin cups. Why,
they are not worth any more than so
many green watermelons, and don't see
any remedy but to sue you for damages
as false prophet, and by the time you
have paid Mckinley prices for all the
gourds produced in this vicinity you will
have little need of an income tax to get
rid of your $4,000.
There is room for suspicion that al
this is not literally true. Yet there is no
doubt that had the public relied upon
the predictions of the calamity shouters
of 1890 and undertaken to prepare for
them, they would have been left in as
ridiculous situation as the man who is
alleged to have gone into the business OF
booming gourd shells as substitute for
tea cups. Luckily most of the people had

One of the peoples party leaders in
this city wrote recently to Maj. Robert

Scott Wike of Illinois, one of the ca
lamity howlers of 1890, while stamping
his district in that year, advised all the
farmers to plant gourd seeds because
dried gourd shells were an excellent sub
stitute for tin cups and dippers which
Mr.. Wike predicted would be so high on
account of the Mckinley tariff that peo-
pie of small means could not afford to
buy them. The principal merchant Of
the place took Mr.. Wilkes advice in dead
earnest and laid in big stock of gourd
seeds to supply the prospective demand
of the farmers. The other day Mr.. Wike
spoke in the same town and the mer-
chant who had followed his advice rela-
ted to Mr.. Wike this wonderful story:

AN HONEST FIRST CoUN
1Biddeford Journal

An honest first count is vital. The av
erage Maine voter would have such i'm
pliclt confidence in counting board fair
" made up of both parties that he woule
not suspect corruption, and little plair
common sense tells all of us that with
such conditions, 500 times in 1000, that
average voter would have no sufficient
cause for such suspicion. Public conf
dence in an honest count must be as
sured in advance, as nearly as may be b.
human ingenuity; for, once shaken, NJ
amount of "recounts or other post NOR
tenn red tape would ever fully restore it
Even in this ring ruled city of ours, the
honesty of a counting board, made VI
with fair proportion OF Republican,
thereon, would not be questioned for ;
moment by either party. A recoun
would never be thought of.
The defect in the new law is very APP
parent, as the Journal has ALREADY
great minuteness for the casting of al
honest ballot, under the supervision of &
non-partisan board of ballot clerks, il
makes no provision whatever for az
equally honest count of the ballots, but
leaves it to the manipulation of the city
or town officials, as the case may be, re-
CARELESS of their political make up.
The new voting law was enacted strict
ly i'll the interests of honest elections,
and it stands plainly to reason that tc
successfully accomplish this purpose ii
should not lose sight Of the official ballot
from the moment 1t passes into the hands
of tile U0ter until it is counted and record
ed. This it does not now do.
Pass simple amendment to the law
providing that ballot clerks shall, with
the proper city or town officials, consti-
and the thing is done; the defect is rem
edied. Nothing more is needed in this
direction. Nothing less will do.

The determination of the anti-Tam-
many Democrats of New York to nomi-
nate candidate for Mayor in opposition
to the Tammany candidate is giving Mr..
Cleveland's friends much anxiety. The
fact is that with two candidates in the
field both Tammany and -Tammany
will sell out the national for the
benefit of the local ticket. Mr. Cleve.
lands mugwump supporters seem to be
especially alarmed, and although in the
past they have painted Tammany in the
wickedest colors and welcomed any
movement against it. they are now be-
seeching the anti Tammany Democrats
to permit Tammany to have anything it
wants in the local politics for fear that it
may knife Cleveland. To save Cleve-
land they are perfectly willing that the
city should be looted by Tammany
thieves The boosted morality of the
mugwump seems to have abdicated.
