MOVED HIM OUT OF HIS HOME.
Diver Ryan Returns to Find His House.

hold Goods Scattered-A Vendetta.
Capt. John +. Ryan. the deepest diver
in the world. is engaged in a deadly fac
ton feud with his colored neighbors. all
in consequence of his having caused his
landiady. Mrs. Edith Rogan. from whom
he rents every room in her house except
one, to be fined $40 in the municipal court
for prostitution. Affairs reached a crisis
on Wednesday afternoon.
On that day the captain and Mrs. Ryan
were down town and returned to their
home at Gil Pearl street about o'clock
Things around the house looked as if the
White Caps or an army foraging gang had
been in possession. In the front yard
stood tine cook stove, not as an ordinary
cook stove would stand, but on its head;
bed clothes were scattered about and hung
on the fence; in a tree was the captains
lower undergarments, not whole, but torn
asunder and dangling from two limbs. In
other parts of the weeping willow were
remnants of the celebrated Flambeau
Club. not used to mark political vic
tory, but to remind the captain of
political efforts and promises UNDECIDED.
1t was sight that would have caused a
gentleman COW to make a wild charge. 1t
made the captain mad. He rushed into
the house and out again. HIS canary
birds. celebrated in Seattle and Tacoma
for their superior breeding, and worth $50
apiece, were gone. This was too much
The captain felt deeply aggrieved, and
grabbing tin spear carried in some po-
litical parade, went straightway to his
neighbors and learned from them, so he
says, that Mrs. Emma Woodhouse, Mrs.
Eliza Wheeler and John Taylor, all COL
ored, were the people who moved him out
of house and home.
Without delay he sought Justice Cald-
we'll and swore out warrant. Special
Constable c. II. Brown went out, and after
surveying the red front yard, read the
warrant to the parties named therein, who
will have a hearing next Wednesday. The
case then rested until yesterday morning,
when Capt. Ryan made affidavit before
a notary public that the following goods
and additional stuff to the amount of $50
were missing.
Two dozen silver knives ana forks, SIS; one
dozen silver tablespoons, ST. 30; two dozen all
yer teaspoons, $i5; one dozen silver dessert
spoons. SIS: two silver drinking mugs, $40; half
dozen silver napkin rings s.; one china cup, 81;
hslf-dozen china saucers, y; one smith & Wes-
son revolver, So, one divers knife and case
belt, S; one crues stand and bottles, SIS; total
$lSl5l
The captain told q reporter yesterday
that he could not see how people could do
such thing when he, as an individual,
had dispensed more charity in that neigh.
borhOod than any other man.

CHICAGO. April 2o.-All the work done
by the Western Passenger Association in
the last six weeks went by the board
today and all the members of the associa-
ton threw up their hands and gave up
hope OF an Immediate adjustment of
Worlds fair rates. The cause of this col.
lapse was the announcement by Passenger

expiration of thirty days, withdraw from

done. he said. because his line

THE ROBBER ROBBED.
A Burglars Plumber Stolen
From Him by Cinnamon.
klNNey's SHOES RECOVERED.


The story Of the burglary Of John Kim
ney's shoe store. at the corner of South
Fifth and Main streets, has been cleared
up by Officer NJ. F. Powers. and seventy
four pairs of shoes recovered. Frank
Rose. now in Jail. has been identified as
the burglar, but he still rests in sublime
ignorance of the fact that q Chinaman
stole the goods from where he had placed
them. under the sidewalk on the north side
of Washington, at the entrance to the
Chinese alley between South Fifth and
Sixth streets.
Powers worked all day Wednesday. en-
deavoring to find some trace of the shoes,
but did not hit any clue until the evening.
when he learned that Chinaman had
offered to sell seventy-four pairs Of shoes
at 81. 25 pair. He represented that the
goods had been Struggled in from Victoria
and were "vely cheap" This pointer was
followed up and the Chinese tea store in
the alley referred to was searched, with the
result that three pairs of the missing shoes
were found. but not word could be gotten
out of the Mongolians. They knew MOTH
ing about shoes, but when two OF their
number were caught in an upper room
smoking opium and All Toy. who, Powers
knew, had been watching for detectives
the night of the burglary, was arrested on
suspicion. there was subdued commOtion
among the clOse-mOuthed fellows.
1t was not more than three hours after
the arrest shat All Ming, one of the head
gamblers, came to Powers and said:
Mike, what you do if he find shoes. Me
help if you say keep way from Chinaman's
house and let him alone"
'You are good onc." said Powers; do
you think have forgotten the time you
ran fan-tan game, and, when arrested on
that charge, got newcomer to swear in
court that he was the man. He was fined
$50. and you. after agreeing to pay the fine
if he took the blame, deserted him and
laughed in your sleeve"
This mention of Ming's trick tickled
him and he laughed heartily. After this
conversation he went to the police station
and saw All Toy, whom he persuaded to
give up the whole story. The goods were
found in the resr of the tea store, hidden
under straw and rubbish.
The way the Cinnamon got possession of
them was told to Powers by All Toy. The
Cinnamon always keep guard in the alley
to watch for detectives and officers. Thus
All Toy saw the real burglar hide some-
thing under the sidewalk and then run up
the street. Without delay All Toy or
some of his friends dragged out the sacks
in which were the shoes and took them
into the store. Then they were hidden
and given up only when the chase became
too warm for them.
Rose will be given hearing this after.
noon in Justice Caldwell's court.

BOTH ROADS GET IN.
Ballard Council Ratifles the
Railroad Agreement.
JOINT TRACK TO THE MILLS.


At special session Of the city council
Of Ballard last night the agreement be-
tween the Seattle & Montana railway and
the Seattle, Lake Shore q Eastern railway
was read. REPRESENTATIVES of both roads
were present and explained the agreement
and alterations they wished made in the
franchises.
The Lake Shore is to vacate the north
erly sixty feet Of Shiishole avenue at pre-
sent occupied by its main track, house
tracks and depot, and allow the Seattle d
Montana TO occupy the same sixty-foot
strip, for which II holds franchise. with
fits four main tracks. In return therefor
the Seattle Il Montana win assign its in
terest in its franchise Of . thirty-foot strip
on the south and westerly side Of Shilshoie
avenue next to the mills. Both companies
agree to bear pro rata share OF the ex-
pense Of grading and planking Shilshole
avenue, and the Seattle q Montana will
remove the depot of the Lake Shore to .
convenient place on the thirty-foot strip.
The Seattle q Montana railway re-
quested that section of the thirty
foot franchise be eliminated, as the condi-
d:tion that fifty miles Of road be built
within . year had been complied with.
This was agreed to.
The LAKE Shore wanted section 8 of the
franchise modified so N TO give it the ex-
elusive use of the thirty-foot strip. In the
franchise granted to the Seattle e. Mon
tana, section provides for the common
use Of the track by other roads that may
enter the city by paying just proportion
Of the expense OF constructing and main
tanning the tracks The council refused
to do this.
Each road has the right to cross tho
tracks of the other, so that lateral connec-
tons with the mills from the tracks in the
north and easterly side of Shilshole ave-
nue. can be made at any time. The track
next the mills is to be joint track be-
tween the two roads, and is provided for
in the agreement.
A resolution authorizing and empo wer-
ing the Seattle Il Montana railway to as
sign its thirty-foot franchise. with section
4 omitted, to the Lake Shore was passed
and the city attorney was instructed to
prepare an ordinance ratifying it.
A resolution requesting the city tax col
lector. city treasurer and city attorney to
deposit the funds Of the city Of Ballard in
the Marine Savings bank instead of in the
Bank OF Seattle was passed.
The petition of the Seattle Timber Pre-.
serving Company for reduction Of taxes
was granted.
An ordinance for the Improvement OF
Crawford street, from the west line OF
First avenue west to the east line Of Sec
ond avenue west. was passed and adopted.

Nearly all of the saw-milsin the upper end
of Hanover county have ceased active opera

save dead and dying timber by turning it in
to lumber. Vast quantities of good pine
forest have been killed by q small, white
worm. They are not larger than pinworms,
but are sufficiently numerous and able to
consume the sap of the tree and thereby de-
stroy it. They are supposed to be the prog
eny Of the "horn-Ay,' which is So hurtful to

Saw-mill men have purchased very con-
siderable quantities Of this timber and are
