ROBBED ON CHERRY STREET.
A Man Reid Up Within . Block Of the
Rainier Hotel.

A Man Reid Up Within . Block Of the
Rainier Hotel.
Burglary has become too easy for Seattle
criminals and now they have turned to
highway robbery. which has more spice
and romance connected with it. Orme
Hawley. q teamster who lives at the Fifth
Avenue house on Fifth street, corner of
Marion, was held up Friday night at $40
O'Clock on Cherry. between Fifth and
Sixth streets, while on his way down
town, by two masked men and robbed of
$68 in bills and silver.
Hawley was passing tho high bank on
Cherry street at the point mentioned
when two masked men suddenly sprang
from the shadow with revolvers in hand.
One came behind and the other in front,
placing Mr.. Hawley in an uncomfortable
position. to say the least. The spokesman
used the regular formula, Hold up your
hands," and Mr.. Hawley's hands went
up. Then the gentlemen with the black
masks searched their victim. The first
thing they found was q roll of bills.
Sixty-tive dollars in bills of the lower de-
nominations make quite roll, and the
highwayman might have thought he had
big haul, for he seemed happy and, after
taking three silver dollars from Hawley's
pants pocket, said:
well that is all We want of you walk
straight ahead and don't look around!'
Then they walked up Cherry street,
turned at Sixth ard disappeared. going
south. Mr.. Hawley came down town and
reported the matter to the police.
The men are described as follows: The
leader is six feet high. and wore black
Overcoat and SLOUGH hat. The other was
about five feet four or five inches tall and
wore light suit with black SLOUGH hat.
Both wore black silk handerchiefs over
their faces. They were seen in the same
vicinity by other persons that night.

Delay in Instituting Proceedings-How
They Got Their Pay.
Chief A. B. Hunt, of the fire depart
ment, remains silent in regard to the
charges Commissioner Kahafey proposes
to bring against him IN the United States
commissioners court. When seen by n
reporter he said he preferred to attend
to the duties of his position and let
newspaper warfare alone. The warrant
for the chiefs arrest, which Commissioner
kahaley said would probably be issued
yesterday or Monday. was not forthcoming
yesterday, owing doubtless to some hitch
in acquiring evidence.
DR.. J. S. Kloeber, president of the house
of delegates and a member of the auditing
committee, was interviewed yesterday re-
gardipg the allowing by the committee Of
the salary claims of A. b. Hunt and X. A.
Miller for the time they were under sus-
pension by ex-Chief Kellogg. In yester-
days Posr-INTELLIGENCER Commissioner
kahaley made inquiries and wanted to
know why the claims were allowed whom
not agreed to by the commissioners and
not signed by ex-Chief Gardner Kellogg.
ITO begin with, said DIR. Kloeber, "the
auditing committee does not consider it
absolutely necessary that the chief of the
fire department should sign a bill. His
80. X" is usual, but more matter OF
courtesy than anything else. Again, IN
the matter under consideration ex-Chief
Kellogg was not sustained by the fire COM
missioners when he suspended Hunt and
Miller. as they were reinstated. Hunt
and Miller were suspended June 10, 1892.
aud when they called for June salary OH
July were handed warrants calling for
$50 each for the pay tor the ten days they
worked in June. They refused to accept
them and made q demand on Acting
Mayor Sweeney and Comptroller Carson
or City Clerk Stoneman for their full
salary. and did the same thing in August
regarding July salary. They were rein
stated and went to work August 2 or 3.
Their demands were considered by the
auditing committee and allowed, with the
proviso that they would deduct the
amount OF wages earned at other work
during the term Of suspension Hunt
worked more than Miller, which made his
warrant less. Ii any one questions that
Hunt and Miller made a demand for their
salary | would refer them to the files of
the Posr-lNrELLIGfNoER, July 5, 1892"
The files were inspected last night and
the following found under the date men

there was no money for exCaptain A. Il. Hunt,

A NUN A PRISONER.
Sister Superior of Snohomish
Convent Arrested.
FOR CoNcEALlNo SMALLPOX.
Ono Of the Two Fugitive Patients Be-
trays Her Hiding Place-How tho
Epidemic Was Started.

1t has just transpired that Elizabeth Nc
Cune, the sister superior Of the Convent of
Mercy at Snohomish, who was accused last
summer of concealing two smallpox cases
in the convent and. after their discovery,
allowing them to escape, was arrested at
house on South Eighth street in this city
last Tuesday by Marshal Brown, of Sno-
homish. As she was sick in bed she was
placed under 500 bonds to appear before
the superior court Of Snohomish county
and guard was placed over the house to
prevent her escape. She will be removed
to Snohomish on Tuesday.
Early in August. 1892, when the out
break of smallpox in Snohomish had be-
gun to cause alarm there, 1t was discov-
cred that two women. named Rosa Birn-
baum, aged 81. and Maggie White. aged
"a, had been sick with smallpox in its
worst form for nearly four weeks, and
that the facts were carefully kept from the
public. 1t was even stated that the sister
superior kept them locked up and threat
ened them with violence if they made any
noise or attempted to make their condi-
ton known. This, however, has not been
authenticated.
Health Officer McCready quarantined
the building and placed guards over it.
After a few days Arthur Clayton. a boy
who had been living at the convent and
running errands for the sisters, told DR..
McCready that he had just finished dig
ging grave in the rear of the convent by
order of the sister superior, and that it
was intended for Rosa Birnbaum, who
wa, expected to die at any time.
The doctor went to the place and found
the open grave with coffin beside it. He
thereupon placed guard over the sister.
The women, however. began to recover
and about August % they escaped within
few days of one another, in spite of the
guards. and were shortly followed by the
sister superior.
Rosa Birnbaum was found on the street
in the city, still suffering from smallpox,
and was taken to the pest house. where
she was cured and was afterwards en-
ployed by the city as nurse. She has
recently returned to Snohomish and gave
the officials there hint as to the where
abouts of the sister superior. which led to
her arrest.

Though train loads Of shingles have
already begun pouring out of the Sound
country to the East and the mills are using
cars almost as fast as they can get them.
they have barely started yet. The old
mills are not yet working to their full
capacity and the majority Of the new ones
are hardly ready to manufacture. so that
it is safe o say that, when all the mills
are running to their full capacity, they
will fully double their present output.

encouragement of industry, which, like
every other human quality, improves in
proportion to the encouragement it re-

compatible with low cost of production
and promote the efficiency OF the laborer,
and tend to economy of production. He
holds also that the beneficial result of

the labor OF the workman admits
OF being aided by labor-savlng contriv-
ances. In this he rebukes those mis-
taken people who think labor-saving
