A PRoDIGIous BAISrALL.


Yesterday was remarkable for one of the
heaviest rainfails in a short time in the
history of Seattle. 1t began to drizzle
with the break of day, and continued wet
and cloudy ut intervals throughout the
morning until o'clock in the afternoon,
when within ten minutes 5, 2l9,053 tons of
water fell within the city limits. The
iigures look formidable even to those who
remember the tremendous half hour of
downpour. but Director Aleiatore, of the
local weather bureau, did some very close
figuring and here is the result:
The rainfall IN the ten minutes follow
INK 2: rs p m. was 81 inch. The surface
OF the city of Seattle is thirty-one square
miles, and within that period of time ls7.-
OC9, I'll gallons of water, weighing 5.2I9. 053
tons. fell within the city. At this rate |. 50
inches of rain would fail in one hour. or
4464 inches in one day, which is m ore rain
than falls in Seattle in a whole year. The
total rainfall yesterday from O'Clock in
the morning until 5 in the evening was
so inch. so that three-tifths of the total
rainfall for the day fell within that ten
minutes

ISDoRsED By THE PARTY.


The Ticket Gives Satisfaction and Eu-
mors of Boiling Are baseless-
Democrats as well as Republicans COM
ment favoraoly upon the ticket nominated
BY the Republican county convention that
closed its iabors yesterday. and but few
have been found who object to the char
acter or capabilities of the nominees. A
rumor was current for a time that friends
Of defeated candidates had decided to bolt
the ticket and we're circulating call for
an independent convention, bat if such
were the case no copy of the call could be
obtained nor could any one be found who
had seen IT,
Another upfounded rumor was circu-
lated TO the effect that the Municipal
League. which was formed during the
campaign last spring, would be rcorgan-
lied, and that Judge Burke and A. A.
Denny we're already active tsbriug about
that result Judge Bpsse &1sposed of his
part in the story by sasi68 f4st evening:

far as can say. | have not seen any OF
the members Of the Municipal League for
several days. l am a Democrat, you
know, and can say that We propose TO put
up ticket that will defeat the Republican
nominees"
Mr.. Denny had not heard of the rumor
and was of the opinion that il was I'M
founded. Like Judge Burke. he had not
seen member of the Municipal League
for some time previously, and then had
not spoken OF politics. Mr.. Denny COM

words:-

HEADQUARTERS FoR LABOR.
Proposed Building for Unions-Labo

Proposed Building for rnions-Labor
Day Ceiebfation-Frankii Disaster.
The Western Central Labor Union, at its
meeting last night. passed resolutions
touching on the late Franklin disaster and
spent large portion of the evening in ad-
iusting the affairs of the Labor day cels-
bration. Definite steps were taken toward
the erection of building for lsbornhead-
quarters, and a committee was appointed
TO look into the matter, TO report al
future meeting. Ii is said that sufficient
capital can be secured to erect the same,
and that in the near future a building will
be erected that will be credit 10 the labor
organizations of this city.
The Labor dav celebration and dance
was a tattering success. both financially
and socially. and the union wishes to
thank the local merchants for donations
and the citizens in general for their pat
ronage. Thanks were especially rendered
DIR. Jordan for his cash donation Of $50 for
the tug-of-war contest, the Press Times for
the $50 prize and Schwabacher Bros. and
the Seattle Brewing and Mating Com
pany. Thanks were also extended to
the newspapers of the city for their aid.
The present quarters of the union are
crampei and generally unsatisfactory, and
as the union is in a healthy condition
financially it is proposed to erect build
ing in the near future that will MI all the
requirements. A committee was APP
pointed to handle the matter and look TO
the furtherance of the project.
Expressions of dissatisfaction regarding
the coroner's inquest as to the cause OF the
recent horror at Franklin were freely made
and called forth a resolution, which was
unanimously passed, declaring that the
inquest was not thorough and determined
enough to ascertain the cause; that there
was strong evidence that the men were
killed through careiessness on the part of
tho company's employees, and that IL Is the
duty of the county authorities TO
make a thorough examination into the
causes. so that the guilty parties may be
prosecuted and il possible made response

ENoEAvoRERs. MASS MEETING.
Delegate Lewis Reports ON the Great
National Convention.


At mass meeting last evening of the
union of Christian Endeavor societies
held at Plymouth Congregational church,
William ii. Lewis, delegate TO the inter-
national convention of Christian En-
deavor societies held in July at Cleveland.
o., made his report. The meeting was
enlivened by musical programme as fol-
lows: Solo, Nearer My God TO Thee,
by Miss Barager; solos by Mrs. 4. G. Kill
bourne, Maryland" and "Sunshine;"
solo by William 5. Pond 'Old Kentucky
Home with words rearranged.
Mr.. Lewis reported that at Cleveland
nothing was left undone that could be
done to add to the pleasures of the 40, 200
delegates. The whole city was decorated
with white and gold bunting. while the
monogram &C. f. christian Endeavor)
could be seen everywhere. The delegates
took the city by storm and on one occa-
sion fifteen meetings were held simultane-
ously in fifteen different churches. Every
one realized that he had some definite work
to do, and two lines of work were specially
outlined by the officers of the united
society. the first, missionary extension, or
plan of cooperation for crusade tor
home and foreign missions, in which
thirty UNCONVENTIONAL mission boards
unite with the trustees OF the United So
ciety of Christian Endeavor. And the
second, the crusade for good citizenship.
This does not mean that the organization
is to become the tail to the kite of any
political party.
Concluding. Mr.. Lewis called attention
to the fact that the international conven-
ton next year will be held in San Fran
CISCO, and said that Seattle would work
with the other cities of Washington in
making the visit of the delegates to the
Coast as attractive as possible. He said
that the state Christian endeavor conven-
ton will be held in Seattle just prior TO
the San Francisco convention. and the
Endeayorers of Seattle must start their
work at once If they wish TO get the full
measure OF benefit from the presence of
the thousands of their fellow-workers
from the East.
