POPULAR FREDERICK WARDE.
He Il Now General Favorite, and Is
Making Money.

Robert Brewer, manager of Frederick
Warde's company, arrived at the Northern
hotel yesterday, and he will remain in Sc
attic several days, arranging for Mr..
Warde's appearance here next week. Mr..
Brewer, who is one of the best known
theatrical managers in the country, mas
been with Mr.. Warde six or seven years.
Mr.. Warde's first visit to Seattle was six
years ago, and he has been here nearly
every season since. 1--WE used to play in
Frye's opera-house," said Mr.. Brewer last
night, land very good house it was. 1
wish that such a theater had been built in
Seattle since the fire. One of the great
needs of this town is good theater."
In speaking of Mr.. Warde's dramatic
career Mr.. Brewer added: after achiev-
ing success in London he came to America
in 1874, and appeared first as a juvenile.
Having spent some years in leading parts
with such stars as Charlotte Cushman,
Booth and Mccullough, he started in for
himself eleven years ago.
"Mr. Warde's growth in popularity has
been remarkable. 1t took years for people
to learn that Mccullough was worthy
successor to Forrest, and Edwin Booth the
equal of his father. In the same way
Warde has had to fight his way. But for
four years his reputation has been assured,
and he is now making money rapidly"

THE TELEGRAPH WAR
Western Union Seeks to Dis
solve Injunction.
SECOND DAY OF PETERSON CASE
Defendant ON the Stand-One Of De.
schade's Creditors Gets Judg-
ment-The Blotter.

Judge Hanford, of the United States
court, yesterday heard motion to dis
miss a temporary injunction granted
about four weeks ago in the case of the
Pacific Postal Telegraph Company against
the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern railway
as defendant and the Western Union as
intervenor. The suit was brought to en-
join the railroad from allowing the West
ern Union to stretch wires between
Woodinville junction and Sedro. The
plaintiff based its case on a contract IL
had with the West Coast Railroad Com
pany to the effect that it should have the
exclusive franchise for telegraph lines on
all roads then owned or that might be
acquired by the railroad. Afterwards the
road was sold to the Lake Shore, which
extended its line and granted an exclusive
franchise to the Western Union. Under
this franchise the Western Union began
the construction of telegraph lines along
the road acquired from the West Coast
company.
The motion to dissolve the temporary
injunction was brought by the Western
Union on the ground that hardship was
being placed upon it by having to stop in
the midst of its work. Judge Hanford
took the motion under advisement and
will probably render decision TODAY.

GOOD NEWS TOO LATE.
A Letter Which Might Have
Stayed Nash's Suicidal Hand.
SMALL HEQuEsTFRo EAST.
HIS Father Just Left Him o4O0-Hia
Estate Not Much Involved-Llfs
Insurance VIII Be Paid.

A letter arrived yesterday for George W.
Nash, the suicide, which, if the unfortu-
nate man had seen it, might have stayed
the hand that tied the fatal rope around
his neck.
The communication was from his
brother, John Nash, of Amherst, Mass,
and contained the information that judi
cial proceedings, just ended, had estab-
iished the fact that the deceased and sew
eral other children were entitled to 81, 500
from the settlement of their fathers estate.
The share of the dead man would have
been about $500, more than enough to
have helped him out of his immediate
financial embarrassment. His friends dis
covered yesterday that his estate was not
much involved and that he would prob
ably have come out ahead if he had not
lost heart and nerve.
The letter is peculiarly pathetic in view
of the tragic end of George Nash. His
brother, tar off in Massachusetts,, was ex-
ceedingly solicitous about the now dead
mans welfare, and closed with the state
ment that those who loved him were
anxious to hear of his welfare.
1t was discovered yesterday that the de-
ceased had executed q will dated Septem-
Der Is, 1891, when sound in mind and
healthy in body. In this will he simply
nominated as executor J. G. Chase and as
executrix Mrs. George w. Nash.
Among the dead mans papers was
found yesterday an insurance policy in
the New York Mutual Life for LOCO. The
premiums were all paid to date. The
policy was taken out three years ago, and
the agent of the company said yesterday
that the policy would have to be paid, as
it had run for over two years, and even
suicide after that length of time would not
forfeit it. As the policy was not made out
in favor of the widow direct, the estate
will have to go through the probate court
before the insurance money can be paid
over to the widow.
The property in which Nash and his
wife lived is mortgaged for $3.50, but is
said to be worth 5000. Nash had other
property on which he owed some small
amounts, but his estate was by no means
ins olvent
1t is thought that the will made and ex-
ecuted in September OF 1891 will hold good
over the one dated March IA, for the de-
cedent was then sane, but it is strongly
suspected that his mind was deranged
when he took his own life on Wednesday
last
The funeral services of Nash have not
been arranged. The news of his death
was wired to his brother in St. Paul and to
Mrs. Nash's brother in San Francisco.
The time of the interment will be fixed
after they reply.
At the request of Mrs. Nash, Coroner
Horton yesterday held an inquest over the
remains The verdict was in accordance
with the facts as already published.

Didn't Pay for Refu.e Gr.in.

The Claussen-Sweeney Brewing Com
pany yesterday sued Henry w. Day. J. w.
Naples and John Rines on a 81 ,OOO-bond
whose conditions. it is claimed, have been
broken. The complaint sets out that in
February, 1880, Day entered into an agree
ment with the company to purchase all
the refuse malt grain that accumulated at
its brewery. for which he was to pay 81 so
awagon load. A part of the consideration
was that he should keep the malt and
grain in the depositories clean. Day gave
bond of 81 900 to carry out his part of the
agreement and Naples and Rines were his
bondsmen. The plaintiff claims that be-
tween November Z, 1890, and November 7,
1891. Day took away GIT loads of refuse
grain which was worth S2,776.50, that he
has paid but 50, 1880, and that there il
still due balance of $639.

Is refunded if they ever fail to benefit or cure.
Being sold on this peculiar plan of "value
received or no pay, }" the prices of the genuine

and always will be, as follows:
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery 1.-THE
remedy for all diseases arising from torpid
liver or impure blood, S1.00 per bottle.

mentsl, =. Sl.00 per bottle.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets 1.-THE original

genuine medicines may offer dilutions, imi-
tations or substitutes, at less than the prices
given above. Beware of them

A NEW COMPTROLLER.
Further Changes Taking Place In Pub
lie Off1ces.

lie Ohces.
The probability is that at a very early
date Comptroller Ferris will practically
relinquish his Office. His resignation has
been in the mayors hands since the day
Mr.. Ronald qualified. The deputy, Ed
win S. Tyler, jr.. will very likely be con-
tinued for time. Mr.. Ferris will prob
ably remain in the office until the books
have been examined. 1t is no secret that
the mayor would prefer to appoint ]. NJ.
Carson, but strong pressure is brought to
bear upon him by the active workers in
the Democratic ranks to appoint L. D.
Ross. 1t had not been decided up to a
late hour last night, and it seemed at one
time as if Mr.. Ronald would seek refuge
from the conflicting factions by appoint
ing a man not hitherto considered in the
race.
"Mr. Ferris has conducted himself like
a thorough gentleman in this natter"
said Mayor Ronald last night. "He
placed his resignation in my hands, but
offered to remain long enough to insure
that his successor would thoroughly un-
derstand the duties. 1t is a very respon-
sible position, and the relations between
that office and that of the mayor brin g
them close very close. do not expect
that Mr.. Ferris successor will be more
efficient. The only reason for the change
is that there Is now a Democratic admin
istration."
There are several changes in the city
treasurer's Office. The chief deputy, John
J. knott, will remain as will Enoch Wood
who has charge of delinquent taxes, but
C. B. Ames has resigned and will be sue
ceeded by Charles Esplin, jr. His chief
duty is the collection of personal taxes.
Leo l. Stock and W. Matthew, who were
engaged during the pressure of the past
two months, have concluded their work
and retired last night.
1t is expected that another license COL
lector will be appointed in place of Doug
lac phiilips

REV. DIR. GEORGE Is HERE.

Now Pastor OF the First Methodist
Episcopal Church Arrives.
The Rev. W. P. George, D. D., and wife
srrived In Seattle yesterday afternoon,
having spent portion of the day in Vic
toria, B. C.
Inc minister and his wife had splen-
did trip across the continent over the Can
adian Pacific, and though somewhat
iatigued arrived in good health and excel
lent spirits. They started on the second
tram cut after the big strike, and avoided
the great crowds that took advantage of
the preceding train. DIR. George was en-
chanted with the scenery, and is delighted
over the scenic prospect of Puget sound.
DIR. George is not tall, but he has WELL
rounded figure. He has fine head, ex-
pressive eyes that flash with excitement
or twinkle with merriment. His features
are regular and his face is covered with
generous growth of beard. He is man of
quick and warm sympathies, of liberal
views; he has hearty hand-grasp, and,
above all, there is personal magnetism
about the man that will beyond doubt aid
In making his ministerial work in Seattle
a success
In short interview with reporter of
the Posr-INTELLIGESCxR last evening DR..
George said:
My ministerial career will begin here on Sun
day, when l will preach my initial sermon.
what the subject of my discourse viii be can
not say yet but 1t will be more in the nature OF
friendly talk than regular set pulpit Grafton.
Plans or policy l cannot yet outline. One must
know his congregation well before mapping out
the course that is to be pursued. ! have heard
only the noblest and kind est things of DR.. Gill
bert, my predecessor, and as he stroye SO shall l.
with every faculty OF heart and mind, to deserve
well OF both the church and community at
large. How do preach? Well, do not read
my sermons, deliver them. prepare every
discourse with care, and nave brief notes from
which my sermons arc gwen. There are few
men SO gifted that they can preach successfully
of hand. The call to Seattle has gratiied me
and has been the fuliliment of an ambition
long entertained.
DIR. George left many warm friends be-
hind him. He was especially intimate
with Dr. T. Dewitt Talmage, and the fol-
lowing letter was especially gratifying to
him, coming as it did on the eve of his
departure for his new sphere of activity:
March 8, 1892
Rev. DR.. George-Dsar Brother: Congratulate
tons without number on your marriage! Did
not an engagement of long standing take me to
Boston tonight l would be at your reception.
Great prosperity to you and Mrs. Georgei I
hear you are going to Seattle, Wash. 1t is city
OF wonderful promise, and my Acquaintance
with you and 1t make me believe that your work
there will be nightly successful. Yours heart
lily, T. DEWITr TALMAGE.
Dr. George is at 2,2O2 Sixth street, the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. R. Winsor, friends
who knew him when first he came to the
United States.

A SLUGGISH STREAM.
It Gets Foul and Poisonous Unless It Il
Kept Constantly Flowing.

1t Gets Foul and Poisonous Unless 1t Il
Kept Constantly Flowing.
At this season Of the year people feel more or
less weak, run down. weafIed and depressed 1t
has been commonly supposed that it Is due to inn
PARTIES Of the blood and that only by purifying
the blood can good health be secured Is this ruef
Let US see. The blood gets impure because it is
sluggish. How does . stream get impure, with
green scum and poisons on the top? Simply be-
cause it doesn't run. running stream is not i'm
pure but a agnant or sluggish stream always is.
II, therefore, you would keep your blood pure,
keep it moving; keep it throbbing. The moment
1t begins to be sluggish it Will begin to be impure
and you will feel the effects in tired weak feelings
depressed emotions and o thousand and one
troubles which always follow. The proper way to
keep the blood stirring is by the use Of pure
stimulant, in moderation. Stimulate it gently and
tt will keep in constant, healthy motion, and good
health will follow There is but one way In which
this can be done, and that Is by the Of the
purest and best stimulant you find, preferably
whiskey, and there is but one absolutely pure,
medicinal whiskey known TO the world, and that is
Duffy's Pure Malt Scientists admit this, the doc
tors all confirm it. 1t generally nsed today
than any other whiskey which the world has ever
seen, and II is popular only through its merit Do
not let any druggist or grocer deceive you by say
ing they have something "just as good" some
thing they can recommend" etc. When any
dealer this he has interested motive, which
usually is TO sell you something cheap and inferior
on which he can make more money. Do not be SO
deceived.

SCARE AT THE UNIVERSITY. y
Student Attaches a Cannon Ball to the
Bell with Peculiar Results.

A mischievous university student yes
terday went into the belfry and attached a
cannon ball TO the bell in such way that
when the janitor went to ring it at the
noon hour the ball fell with loud crash
and rolled down the stairway to the cor
ridor below, making noise as loud as
several peals of thunder.
The professors ran out into the hall and
the students got excited. Some thought
that dynamite bomb had been exploded
bv the disaffected boys who were lately in
trouble, but at last the real cause was dis
covered. and to sey that the professors
were not pleased is expressing the matter
in mild way.
Some time was spent IN an attempt to
discover the culprit. but whoever did the
dark deed evidently left no trace behind
for he has not been apprehended.
