questions, and wanting the expression of
the people, in regard to holding a meeting
in this town at an early day. We would
therefore invite all who feel interested to
meet with the Farmers club next Wednes-
day at Mr.. Powers's to consider the mat
ter and decide whether we will invite the
board here, and if so, when and where.
The Farmers club met Oct 8, with
Messrs. Preston and Stowe. 1t was a
beautiful day, and good time was enjoy
ed. After electing Mr.. Preston president
of the meeting, the club discussed the ques-
ton, "What is the most profitable for farm
ers to raise for fall feeding?" Corn fod-
der seemed to be the prevailing idea, al
though some had raised rye and thought it
was better than corn. The talk was very
interesting and profitable. 1t was voted
to meet with Milton Powers Wednesday,
Oct. Is, at 10 o'clock A. NJ, when all are
invited to attend

On the Track of the Horse Thieves,

Constable II. p. Yearly returned home

suit of the gang of horse thieves, who have

able last Saturday to locate their rendez-

connected with the gang. Five horses
were found, having been disposed of by
the thieves and traced to their present
whereabouts. The animals were put to-
gether and taken to Albany and lodged in
the Wakefield stables till they are in a
condition to be taken to their rightful
owners. Mr.. Yearly thinks the thieves
will soon be captured and furnished with
free lodgings and steady diet.

THROUGH A BRIDGE
SEVEN HUMAN LIVES WERE LOST
Two Passenger Coaches and Sleeper
Goes Through Rotten Trestle
in Virginia.

DANvILLE, Va. Aug. 16.-An accident
occurred at the county line trestle lust
east of Milton early this morning by
which two passenger coaches and a
sleeper were precipitated into the creek
below, distance of sixty feet, killing
seven persons outright and wounding i
number of others.
The train bound for Portsmouth left
here at 11:15 this morning. After
passing through Milton and going
over the trestle, Engineer TunstaI,
who says ne was running at the rate
OF ten miles per hour, felt the bridge
giving away. He threw open the throt-
tie and the engine, tender and boxcar,
got safely over, but the passenger car
was too late and the span went down
under the weight, and the second pas
senger coach and sleeping car followed.
The cars were shivered into kiudling
wood and the escape of any of the pas.
sengers was a miracle. The water in
the creek had risen to depth of twelve
or more feet, and it is the general be-
lief that the rise had undermined the
foundation under the piers, causing the
trestle to settle.
On the train at the time were about
sixteen persons, including the train
hands, but only one of the latter, Con-
ductor H. Morris of Portsmouth, was
killed, some of the others receiving SER
ious injuries.
Following is a list of the killed:
H. MORRIS, conductor, Portsmouth,
va.
w. r. ELLISON, Alta, Va.
J. G. DAVIES, a farmer of Barker
Vile, Va.
W. H. ELAN, Durham, n. G.
JAMES G. LOWE, a railroad conduc-
tor from the west who was passenger.
THOMAS LEE, coIored, Winston, n, G,
| FRANCIS JENKINS, colored, Salem,
N. G.
Several others were injured, but none
seriously.

EVERETT TIDE LANDS.
The Great Northern Railroad the Luckily
Purchaser.


Purchaser.
OLYMPIA, Aug. IA The state board of
land commissioners met today with all
the members present. The board ac-
copied the report of John LearY and
Charles Reeves, appointed to appraise
the fractional sections on which will be
located the new state university. The
appraisement ranges from sos to SIS
per acre in lots. The secretary of the
commission was instructed to issue an
order of sale to take place in front of
the court honse of King county, under
charge of Commissioner George D.
Shannon.
The commission today named August
80 as the date for hearing in confrma-
ton of the appraisement and sale of
three tide land lots at Everette, of
which the Great Northern Railroad com
pany is the purchaser. It appears in
the appraisement of improvements on
the numbered II a portable sawmill
worth about $1,000 was estimated by
the appraisers to be worth $4,000.
Hill and his Seattle attorneys are said
to be utterly Indifferent as to whether
the sale is confirmed or not, as they are
not disposed to accept the property in
any event.
The secretary was instructed by the
board to correspond with Eugene Sem
pie, requesting him to turn over to the
state land commission any property in
the way of maps and instruments form
erly used by the old harbor line com
mission that may at present be in his
possession.
1t is the intention of the land com
mission to Immediately take up the work
of locating the harbor lines at Seattle
and Tacoma.

EXTRA SESSION TALK
LAWMAKERS THINK 1T is POSSIBLE
A General Belief That This state should
Memorabilia Congress on the silver
Question and Tarif.

SPOKANE, Aug. 14.-There is consider
able talk throughout the state just now
among the leading lawmakers about
possible extra session of the legislature
this fall or winter, and it is among one
of the possibilities.
1.-THE subject has been discussed con-
siderably both here and on the sound"
said Senator Van Houten yesterday,
"but do not know that the governor
has given it any attention yet. have
received letters from several senators
asking my views on the subject. The
grounds upon which the movement
seems to find favor are, first, the ne
cessity for a law extending the time for
the payment of this years taxes from
March /, 1894, TO say June /. There is
a general feeling that with the present
condition of the money market and the
stagnation of business generally it
would work hardship if the tax col
lectors should be compelled to add
penalty for failure to pay, as the pres
ent indications are that money will not
be.very plentiful this winter. BY grant
ing an extension of time it would per
haps save the property of thousands of
citizens from being sold for taxation.
"There is also a general belief that
the state of Washington should memoir
ialize congress in regard to its position
on the silver question and its opinion
of the tariff law. There are important
things to be done in regard to the land
laws, and If our exhibit at Chicago is to
be kept up understand that at least
$4,000 will be needed, as it is hardly
possible the deficiency board will feel
itself authorized to act in the matter.
There is also some talk of extending
the time for granting executions after
Judgment is rendered, but am not sat
isfied that that is proper law
''Are you in favor of an early extra
ordinary session of the legislature?"
81 think it would result in much ex-
cellent legislation, but I would only
favor limited session Of say fifteen
days"
Several members of the Spokane dele
cation were seen and all believe an
extra session was among the possibili-
ties.
