WILL STICK TO OLD SPUR.
Changes in Rams Horn Compromise
Not Accountable to o. L. Co.

The changes made by the house of dele
gates in the new franchise of the Column
bia & Puget Sound Railroad Company, by
which the time honored rams horn con-
troversy was to be ended, have unsettled
the matter again, for the railroad COM
pany is not disposed to surrender the spur
tracks on the old right-of-way running
from Yesler avenue to Columbia street.
A. +. Burleigh. the railroad company's at
torney. said yesterday, in explanation Of
it's posi- lon:
I'VE simply agree TO accept the new
franchise on Railroad avenue in place Of
the cid rams horn from Columbia street
norfhward as an accommodation 10 the
property owners. but we are not prepared
to surrender anything we already possess.
The council seems to have misunderstood
the situation II is not asked to give any,
thing TO Us, but we are asked 10 put our
tracks In q new place for the convenience
Of our neighbors. and they are asking the
council TO authorize the change. Our title
TO the old right-of-way has been confirmed
by the supreme court. so that We cannot
be called upon TO surrender more than we
choose as an accommodation to the prop
erty owners.
'"rhe two spur tracks on the old fran
chise from Ycsler avenue to Columbia
street are necessary for station purposes
at the Lake Shore depot; we need them to
stand trains on. A passenger depot with
tracks at only one side would be extremely
inconvenient.
I'VE do not care to make the exchange
OF the old for the new right-of-way, and
for us to accept tho new franchise with
the proposed amendment is utterly out of
the question. Speaking for the company
I can say that / heartily regret the stand
taken by the council Three years have
been necessary to bring the railroad men
to an agreement. and in reaching that con-
clusion we have yielded to many demands,
not because they were right. for they were
not. but because we wished to avoid COM
plcations. Now at this last moment, after
we have made concessions for the general
good. we are asked TO give up for no con-
sideration property that is ours absolute
~. There is no way for us 10 do but 10 re-
fuse. even If TO do so again brings on
hopeless complication and clash OF oppos-
ing interests"

UNITED AFTER YEARS.
Romantic Meeting of Long-Separated
Mother and Daughter.


Few story writer's have lad p better
foundation OF fact for an interesting
plot than IS furnished by the life history
OF Mrs. r. l.. Gadwood and her daugh-
ter. Mrs. Lizzie Langley, wife OF John
Langley. the well-known variety theater
man OF this city. Both are residents Of
Seattle. Separated nearly fourteen years
ago b. the abduction of the daughter, as
the mother alleges, BY James w. Fitz-
gerald, her second husband, they dis
covered the relationship Friday night at
the rooms OF Mrs. 1iadwoo1 in the At
lantIe hotel. at the corner OF Commercial
and Washington streets. Since separa-
ton the daughter has grown from girl
hood 10 motherhood ana the parent has
passed from maturity 10 middle age. 1t
is curious history, and stranger yet that
intuition aided BY a few memories and
circumstances have resulted in the happy
recognition.
Mrs Gadwood was formerly wife OF
Thomas A. Coates, who died ut Dem
yer, leaving the widow and the daughter
Lizzie Ada Coates, tnen mere child.
A few months later the widow married
James W. Fitzgerald. of LeadviIle. He
became abusive OF the child. ana after
many quarTels on this account The couple
separated, the mother retaining the little
girl Within a short time Fitzgerald. it
IL asserted. abducted the child aid trav-
tifd 10 Denver with ner on foot, Tie little
one suffering terribly on the way The
mother followed and gained possession of
her daughter. only 10 have her taken
away again by Fitzgerald who this time
took her TO San Francisco. where Mr..
Langley says he assumed the name OF
Eastwood. There he kept the child in
. miserable way until about six years
ago, when she escaped and came To Sc
attic as variety actress
Two years later the daughter became
acquainted with John Langley and was
married to him. The mother. too. be-
came q variety performer and 1rifted TO
Seattle, where she has accumulated quite
a little property. Being of the same vo-
cation they have been thrown considera-
bly, together during the last two years,
but not until Friday night, while Mrs.
Langley was visiting Mrs. Gadwood, was
the relationship discovered.
The latter asked Lizzie her maiden
name. II. was promptly given. Lizzie A.
Coates. Then followed mutual questions
and answers that proved beyond doubt
the relationship. A broken arm. a scar
on the face. birth mark on the neck
all contributed 20 substantiate the ident-
ity OF the daughter
The shock of joy 10 both mother and
daughter was very great. All night and
all day they passed together. and when
secn by a reporter last evening az Mrs.
Gadwood's rooms they seemed 10Th to be
separated for moment.

OBJECTS TO BURIED WIRES
Manager Grambs Says seattle Is leo
Young for Conduit system.


The proposal OF the city council to bury
with favor from the street car and cleo
trio light men OF this city. They urge
many objections TO such move, and back
US their position by strong argument
Manager W. j. Grambs, of the Third
street electric line. said yesterday;
Seattle is not yet large enough for the
companies TO pay rental on such an invest
ment. The only way for the plan 10 be
put into effect would be for the city TO
build the conduits and make the rental
low enough for the companies TO use them
in this way throwing the loss upon the
city. At the present state OF the ART con-
Quits that would work satisfactorily can
not be put down in this city at price the
companies could afford 10 pay. There Is
not in the whole country a town of 100000
people that has attempted TO employ the
conduit system. for the only place 10 put
down such system at profit is in thick
II settled districts, where there are many
lights in a small area Seattle is entirely
too much scattered even TO admit
thought of such a step. and the PROPOSE
ton is simply ridiculous Telephone wires
can be put down in conduits and used sue
cessfully because the pressure is small,
but when one gets TO high potential, AS
in electric lighting and railroad work, the
talk of conduits is all nonsense
In the matter of underground telephone
wires. New York seems TO be in advance
of the other cities of the country. There
is not overhead telephone wire on
Broadway from the Battery 10 Central
park. In seven years the board of cleo
trical control has removed 2o.6i2 poles and
$3.50 miles of overhead wires. making that
city freer of unsightiy electrical construc-
ton than any other American city of note.
Not only has this overhead construction
been removed, but subways have been
built to take care of all the lines forced
underground. For example, Fifth avenue,
says the Electrical Review. is a beautiful
~ lighted thoroughfare, served from sub
ways aud illuminated with twin incandes-
cent arc lamps suspended from ornament
al standards.

"PINAFORE' Is ALL THE FAD.
All Seattle Goes to See the Beautiful
Nautical Opera.

Just as long as the good weather con-
tinues, and the performances equal the
present in excellence, thousands Will
crowd the grand stand and surroundings
every evening. Ii is hard TO imagine
healthier, cleaner or more perfect per-
Torrance than that given by the talented
company at the lake During the still ev-
enings which have lately prevailed every
word OF singing and dialogue is audible all
over the grand stand, and ii is really more
comfortable than the interior of any thea
ter; besides the realism of actual ship
board, the booming of cannon, the en-
trance of Buttercup and the admiral from
boats. and the throwing of Dick Deadeye
bodily into the water are effects which
cannot be secured on any theater stage.
Then the finale of the opera amongst bIaZ-
ing fireworks is most effective.
Miss Mabel Cassidy is a most charming
Josephine. The purity of her production,
excellence of her method and perfect
enunciation are all rareties on the comic
opera stage Miss Darrell is improving at
every performance. and her mellow con-
tralto is a pleasure. Mr.. Palmer is good
actor, and with study will make an ac-
ceptable tenor. He looks the part to per-
lection. Perhaps the best male character
in the cast is Sir Joseph Porter, very ar
tistically rendered by Mr.. Cornell. This
gentleman is an artist of long and varied
experience. Mr. Winans is very good in
deed as Capt. Corcoran. and his resonant
bass is very effective. Mr.. Woodruff is an
unmistakable success as Dick Deadeye,
and seems to enjoy his nightly inyolun-
tary plunge into the cooling waters of the
lake. Mr.. Kay sings "He is an English
man" so well as to merit nightly encore.
The orchestra and the chorus, which are
local, are under excellent control, and Mr..
Kinross the conductor and stage director,
merits great credit for the almost fault
less manner in which the opera is pro-
duced.
The commodious grand stand is crowded
nightly. and Madison park and 'Pinafore'
are the popular fad. The performance ter
inmates about 10 o'clock nightly amid
blaze of fireworks. There will be a mat
inee today Sunday at p. m. and the
regular evening performance.

ASSESSMENT WORK ON MINES.
II Must BE Done in 1898. but Miners
Have Till January 1.

There is a good deal OF misapprehen-
sion among the miners as TO the suspen-
sion of the law regarding assessment
work. The facts are that the law requir-
ing 500 assessment work on each claim
was suspended for the year 1904. A bill
continuing the suspension for the year 1896
was introduced in the last congress, hut
failed to pass. Thus miners must do the
assessment work for this year or risk
the forfeiture of their claims.
A letter from Joseph T.. Warner 10 the
Post-Intelligencer on this subject has Gre
ated the impression that the work must
be done before October l. This is not
the case. Mr.. Warner advised miners to
do IL before that date, lest snow should
cover up their claims and make II diff
cult IL not impossible to work later, but
the law allows miners until January j,
1896 to do the work for 1895.

fresh Fish Given Away.

Fort Angeles Tribune.
The crews of the tugs. when waiting out
side for a tow, usually put in the time
fishing. They frequently catch more FISH
than they can use, such as halibut. cod,
rock cod. red goupers, etc. On Tuesday
the tug Sea Lion came in from the OUT
side with a big lot of fish on hand. As
soon as she was tied up at Morse's wharf,
the captain. mate. engineers and crew
started in making the hungry people Of
Port Angeles happy by giving away fish
TO all who wanted any. II was quite a
sight TO see people of all ages and con-
ditions toteing from the wharf toward
their homes tolling big chunk of halibut,
a great black cod, or big red gouper.
The Sea Lions crew gave away about 500
pounds of nice fresh fish. We got our
share of the halibut.
The will of Mrs. T. Dewitt Talmage
has been filed for probate. She leaves
some $l6i, 900. of which $4,000 is real and
$136, 900 personal property. Her husband is
the sole legatee.
