Away Their Conduct.

the noise OF the three men, who were endeavor-
Ing 10 pry open the front door of the premises.

notified the men that they were under arrest
The trio fought like demons TO escape, and
Officer Thorn was compelled 10 knock Hope sud

effected.

VANDERBILT DREAM REALIZED.
Line From Ocean to Ocean via st. Paul,
Northwestern and Union Pacific.

Line From Ocean to Ocean via st. Paul,
Northwestern and Union Pacific.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23-Rumor has it that Com
modore Vanderbilts dream has been realized
1t Is said that the Vanderbilt interests have Sc
cured control OF the St Paul, Northwestern and
Union Pacific roads, that is, through line from
New York to the Pacific coast at Portland and
San Francisco. If true, it is the most important
railroad deal in many years. 1t is said that it
will be formally announced on Wednesday, but
Chauncey Depew denies it. He says:
Commodore Vanderbilt never had any such
dream. The Vanderbilt interests have made no
manner the St. Paul system. There is no truth
n the story, and you will find that such COM
blnation exists only on the floor Of the stock
exchange.
The story given out today, like others Of
similar import that have been circulated of late
years, had much to commend it, and it was
told with great Enthusiastically. Active eff
forts. 1t was asserted, have been going on since
J. Plerpont Morgan succeeded in converting $40 :
o00OoO OF the floating debt of the Union Pacific
road into interest bearing certificates. After
that Drexel, Morgan & Co. had succeeded in the
furtherance of deal now alleged TO have been
contaminated in bringing into intimate rela-
tons with the Vsnderbilts and their friends
outside parties who have heretofore controlled
the st. Paul road.

Importapt Attractions Coming.

Charles Frohman, New York's foremost the
atrical manager, and whose comedians are at
present in this city presenting ''Mr. Wilkinson's
Widows" has concluded to send all OF his COM
panies to this city while on their yearly tour,
two OF the foremost OF which will be seen here
soon. "Jane," the most pronounced and sue
cessful comedy produced in New York in years,
will be the first, to be followed by his great
stock company in "rhe Lost Paradise which
is now in its sixth month at Proctor's theater,
New York, playing to enormous business. The
theater- going public of Seattle will remember
the treat they had when the latter company was
here last summer in "Men and Women" and
the mere announcement of a return visit in
their latest success should be hailed with pleas
ursble anticipation by all classes.

"His Natural Life"

The second performance of the comedy
drama, "His Natural Life" was given last night
at Cordray's to a well-flled house. Miss Bea-
trice Lieb, the leading lady, again charmed her
auditors by skillful and graceful acting. The
part is rather circumscribed to allow any extra
ordinary display of talent, but, judging from
the very effective manner in which Miss Lieb
presents the character, she has in reserve con-
siderable power to reveal in future appearances.
R. Z. French deserves complimentary mention
for his faithful presentation of Harry Lyons,
and for an exceedingly well-managed stage.
The piece is artistically mounted and very faith
fully acted, and there is not a weak character in
the entire cast. The auditorium programme
serves as an excellent pastime for all who have
an hour in the evening TO spare on gleeful
entertainment.

e Niblock went on his bond, which was fixed
at N,0O0 The inventory OF the estate showed
that there was sl,S00 in cash, personal property
valued at 1880, and lot valued at 500. Last
May Hawley fled his final account and
Guiirand Gulfrandsen Sagiien, the heir OF
the deceased, objected to the report claiming
that the administrators expenditures were
false, fraudulent and excessive.
Attorney Thomas b. Hardin was appointed
referee In the case by the court and in his re-
port, tied last October, found that Hawiey had,
without the authority OF the court, accepted a
number OF Claims against the estate after the
time for the presentation had expired Other
claims entirely without foundation we're also
paid. It was recommended that the amount of
these false claims be charged to Hawley, and
that he be removed from Office and NO COM
pensation be paid for his services
On January %, Judge Lchtenberg, acting on
the referees report, removed Hawley from office
and appointed Andrew Chilberg In his place
Yesterday Chilberg began legal proceedings to
recover the amount it is claimed Hayley is

arbitrators in the case OF James Leamy VS.. Nell
son Bennett, gave their decision yesterday,
awarding Leamy $4,000. Leamy was contractor
for the construction OF the Southern railway
from Liverpool to the boundary at Blaine, and a
dispute arose over the amount due him when
the line was taken over by Nelson Bennett for
the Fairhayen Southern Railway Company.
The case was carried to the supreme court,
but by consent was withdrawn and arbitrated.
Sheriff Armstrong acted as umpire, and Mr..
Tiltou, of Victoria, and A. J. Hill, OF this city,
were arbitrator, the former representing Mr..
Leamy, and the latter the Southern Railway
Company. Leamy's original claim was 81, 900,
while Mr.. Bennett did not think he was entitled
to more than half that sum. The award. conse-
quantity, is in Leamy's favor The matter was in
the hands of srbitrators for nearly three
month";
