SNoHoMIsH, Aug. Ito the Editor.l-
In today's Posr-IErELLIGENcEE appears
dispatch from Snohomish in regard
to case of smallpox at the Sisters hospi-
tai which conveys an altogether wrong
impression of the actual facts and does
great injustice TO myself as well as injury
to the town. Your correspondent, to put
1t as charitably as possible, makes heavy
draft on his Imagination when he says the
inmates of the hospital are permitted the
freedom Of the city. When it was first as
certained that the patient had smallpox,
though in SO mild form that in few
days he will be entirely recovered. locked
up the hospital and put a man there in
charge to see that no one entered or left
the building, thus practically quarantin-
ing the building, the public being aware of
the fact. The patient is in an isolated
part of the hospital, and there is no
more danger than there would be
if the building were surrounded with
yellow flag twenty-five feet
high and quarantiued by company of
militia. / did not deem it necessary or
advisable to put out flag. My action
was taken after consultation with the
county commissioners, who Endorsed it,
with view of preventing another scare
similar to the one we had passed through,
yet at the same time fully and thoroughly
protecting the public from any danger of
contracting the disease from the patient.
am satisfied that your correspondent has
injured the town more in a business way
than he can do it good in year, and has
not added in the slightest to its protection
against any contagious disease.

SHELTON, Aug. Especial. 1.-The Posi-
INTELLIeENcER's warning to sportsmen on
the opening of the game season, and pre-
dictiOn of accident from carelessness,
proved but too true, and this place has the
misfortune to furnish the first case Of
criminal carelessness resulting in the
death of another. b. s. Barger, a jeweler
of this place. fatally shot 14-year-old
Johnny Rodenberger, near Lake Isabel.
early this morning. Both were out hunt
ing game, unknown to each other. and
were on the same deer trail intent upon
the game. Rodenberger jumped off a log
and Barger espied the motion, and sup
posing it was the deer. raised his rifle and
fired, when Rodenberger cried out that he
was shot, and fell.
Barger dropped his gun and rushed to
the aid of the boy. He managed to carry
the boy quarter of q mile, but the boys
wound was too painful and he directed
Barger to the Mason County Central con-
struction camp for aid. Barger found the
camp and informed the men of the acci-
dent. Willing hands brought the wounded
boy to the farm house of Charles Saeger,
and brought word to Shelton. Doctors
and many friends went out, but nothing
could be done, and he expired four hours
after the accident. He left his fathers
farm before any of the family were up,
and they were not aware of his absence
until shocked by the intelligence of the ac-
cident. The shot was fired from S.5S
Winchester, the ball entering his stomach
three inches above the navel and passing
out near the backbone. The boy bore the
pain with great fortitude. was conscious
all the time and stated that the shooting
was entirely accidental.
The boy was the brightest of Watson
Rosenberger's family, being the pride of
the household, and was very courageous.
Many readers of the PosT-INTELLIGEN-
GER will remember of the story which ap-
peared in local papers, and also the
Youths Companion. about six years ago
about two children of a neighboring
farmer being attacked by hungry cougar
on their way home from school. Johnny
and his younger brother were the children,
and the latter's face still bears the marks
of the animals cruel claws. The cougar
jumped from an overhanging limb on the
smaller boy, and the valiant 8-year-old
Johnny attacked the animal and beat him
from his brothers. body with bottle in
which he carried the children's milk for
dinner.
The accident is taken much to heart
here, especially as the family recently lost
a baby. Public sympathy is strong against
the criminal carelessness of slaughtering
people while hunting, but the author of
the accident is quiet and usually careful
young man, who is distracted over the
ruin he has wrought.

FIRE AT VICTORIA.
925O,OOO Worth OF Machinery and
Other Property DESTROYED.

VICTORIA, B. c.. Aug. 7.-[Special.l J.
The most destructive fire that Victoria
has experienced in ten years broke out
about O'Clock this morning in the repair
shed attached to the National Tramway
and Lighting Company's power-house.
The alarm was given by telephone. but by
the time firemen arrived, within four min
utes, the entire establishment was doomed.
In quarter of an hour the station. with
upward of 100000 worth of machinery,
was in ruins, as also were the offices and
waiting rooms of the company and num-
ber of adjoining outbuildings.
The Sayward lumber yards and saw
mills caught several times. and the Albion
Iron Works. giving employment to 800
men, were time and again threatened. A
dwelling-house owned by w. P. Sayward,
500 yards from the power-house, was dam
aged to the amount OF $500. and sparks
rising from the falling smokestack were
carried over two miles and started stimuli

district of the city. With great exertion
the fire was brought under control at

THE BRITISH COMMISSION.
Lean Strongly Toward Bi-Metallism-A
Mono-Metal1ist to Be Appointed.

LONDON, Aug. THE Associated Press
has authority to state that the new Liberal
government is likely to add one delegate. a
prominent mono-metallist to the delega-
ton announced by Lord Salisbury yester
day to represent Great Britain at the inter
national monetary conference.
The appointments announced are con-
sidered unsatisfactory. Sir w. III. Houlds-
worth is an ardent bi-metallist, and Mr..
Currie, who is a member of the council of
India. also has leaning to bi-metallism.
Sir C. w. Fremantle was nominated solely
on account of his official position in the
mint and will take no actual part in the
conference.

The tramway company will rebuild at
once, but large number of business
houses, residences and churches will be
deprived of light for some time, and the
cars will not be running again for six
months. The origin of the fire is sup
posed to be incendiary. The olly acci-
dent occurred to fireman named Whit
comb, whose leg was broken by hose
cart. At one time it seemed as though
the fire would sweep the entire city, the
shortage of water seriously jeopardizing
the safety of Spring Ridge.

DEsPERADO HUDSON KILLED.
He Was Ono OF the Most Notoricu u
Criminals in the West.

JOPLIN, Mo-, Aug. 7.-George Hudson,
the notorious robber and murderer, of
CRANKY, was shot and killed last night in
a saloon at that place while resisting ar.
rest. Hudson began his career of crime
when a mere boy in his native state of
Mississippi, where he killed negro. He
came direct to CRANKY, where he killed
German shoemaker and then fled to Gran
ite Pass, Col, where he murdered and
robbed an old man Of 81, 700. Returning
to CRANKY, he shot and killed deaf mute
and afterwards killed N. o. Taylor and J..
w. Goodykuntz while resisting arrest.
Later he killed DR.. L. G. Howard for some
reason unknown. It has never been pos-
sible to secure convection in any of the
trials. Hudson intimidated the residents
of CRANKY and surrounding country.
The trial of George Hudson for the murder
OF Dr.. L. 6. Howard was held at Rolla, No., last
February, and was sensational throughout The
testimony of witness then was that Hudson
was but hired assassin when he shot down DR..
Howard, and that Peter E. Blow, of the CRANKY
Iron Company, was the instigator of the MUIR
der. The defense claimed that the prosecution
of Hudson and the story of his being q paid
assassin arose solely from a vendetta sworn by
Gilbert Barbee, o wealthy mine owner and spec
ulator OF Joplin. They tried to prove that Bar.
Barbee tried to hire Hudson to murder his tBar.
bee'G wife; that Hudson refused, and that
ever since then Barbee had determined to put
Hudson "out OF the way" On other basis
than that of desire for vengeance, they
claimed could the case have been allowed to
rest for nearly five years, al it had. and then
spring up with such sudden ferceness. Barbee
himself replied to this charge for the prosecu-
tion. He said that he had known of Hudson's
guilt all the time, but afraid to appear as
the sole witness, believing that he would prob
ably be assassinated by Hudson or his friends
for so doing. The principal cause for his at last
taking such an active part in bringing Hudson
to trial, however, was, he states, the knowledge
suddenly gained that Hudson intended to assas-
sinate him. despite his silence. The prosecu-
ton alleged that the conviction of Hudson
on the charge would have been the means of
breaking up one OF the most dangerous gangs of
criminals that ever terrorized Southwestern
MissO1ril

''President Harrison is a great states
man. He is one of the greatest. if not the
greatest, of the presidents this country has
had. He is ready for any emergency, and al
ways expresses himself in words that can
not, fairly, be misconstrued.'
Those We're the candid. earnest senti-
ments expressed by General William Biz
ney to a number of friends on the Presi
dent reviewing stand during the passage
of the monster G.. \. X. parade. And his
utterances proved highly agreeable to all
who heard them.
General Birney is himself an interesting
figure in politics and war in this country,
and his opinions are respected by all peo-
pie. who know him we'll enough to appreci-
ate his great worth. He is the survivor of
three brothers, all of whom served with
distinction in the Union army, William
and his older brother, David Bell, having
earned the rank of full major general, and
the youngest brother, Fitz Hugh, rising
to the rank of colonel. David Bell and
Fitz Hugh died in the service This dis
tinguished trio We're the sons of the late
Hon. Gillespie Birney who made his mark
in our cOuntry's history as an original
abolitionist of the most fearless, uncom-
promising sort, and who was twice nomi-
mated by the old ''Liberty Party as it's
candidate for the presidency of the United
States.
Gen. William Birney was good fighter
during the war; achieved distinction as an
author-among his literary productions
having been that composition of loyal
words to maryland, My Maryland and
he occupies high rank at the bars of federal
courts at the national capital.

ceived. coincide with and even 90 farther

ever had He is a great man. l know it.
and people of the country are beginning
to get their eyes open to that fact The
modesty of the man and his quiet. digni-
fed way of doing business may be set down
as reasons for the fact that the great abil-
ity of his administration has not been bet
ter known. The people who do not APP
preciate him dom know him. Those who
