THE GYPSY KING At REST
His Wanderings With the Spar.
row Tribe Have Forever
Ceased.
And the Winds of Ocean Will Sing
Until Eternity Requiems Above
His Grave.

The remains of the gypsy king, William
Sparrow, were laid to rest yesterday after
noon on the summit of the highest hill in
Odd Fellows Cemetery.
His grave looks over a wide stretch of
hills and ocean. The winds will sing,
through the fir trees above him requiems
without number for his departed soul.
A curious crowd of a thousand people or
more gathered about the camp on Folsom
street during the ceremony. The officiat-
ing clergyman was the Rev. w. A. M.
Breck, assistant rector of st. Johns Epis-
copal Church.
At the conclusion of the services Mr..
Breck stood at the door of the tent and
spoke a few eloquent and sympathetic
words to the people without.
''No matter where we may wander on
this broad EARTH" said he, 1--WE can never
stray from the protection and love of the
heavenly Father so long as we put our
faith in him and believe in and obey his
revealed words"
The dark faced, black-haired men and
women gave free vent to their tears.
There were eight pallbearers, all rela-
tives of the late chief: Abraham Boswell,
Bob Smith, William Boswell, A. Whorton,
J. Boswell, Nelson Cooper. Nelson Lowell
and Henry Morgan.
At the grave crowd of curious women
awaited the funeral procession and stood
on tombstones and elbowed one another
to witness the last rites.
The women of the tribe seemed less
demonstrative of their grief than the men,
and it was only when the clear voice of
the clergyman pronounced the words
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust" that they
bowed their heads with their husbands
and brothers to sob and to moan in their
sorrow.
~ guess we like each 9th er BETTER" said
one of the tribe, than you people who
live in houses do. If you had travelled
from San Diego to the farthest part of
British Colum bia and from the Pacific to
the Atlantic Ocean with man and had
him always treat you fair and help you
when you wanted help and be separated
from other people, you would see how it
is. Sparrow was a good man. l never
knew better one.'

the cars and list taken by the conductor,
whose notebook became covered with
blood from his wounded arm. All the
passengers were accounted for.
The fire spread rapidly from the day
coach to the parlor car. 1t was hopeo at
one time to uncouple the coach and let IL
roll over the embankment, which Woulo
save the parlor-car and Pullman, out thls
could not be done, and efforts were then
directed toward saving the furnishings, as
it was apparent that the whole train would
burn.
The parlor-car was robbed OF its chairs
and curtains, and the sleeper of its bedding
and portieres. The passengers displayed
considerable nerve and good humor, and
the men were careful to see that the
women and children were supplied with
blankets.
The fire from the train took off the chill
of the air, and all prepared to stay on the
spot until the relief train arrived. Some
of the passengers had been rudely routed
from bed, and they appeared wrapped in
curtains, blankets, towels or whatever they
could find.
In the excitement the treasure-box was

rived search was made for it, and it was
found a couple of hundred yards distant,
entirely unguarded and open to assault by
any thief who cared to take it. The
amount in it is not exactly known, but 1t
was over 5000.
Agent keeler estimates the total loss to
the company at $4,000. Wells-Fargos

istered mail is heavy, and thousands OF
dollars worth of baggage is lost
If the train had gone hundred feet far
ther it would have been hurled over an
embankment eighty feet deep, with prob
ably an immense loss of life.
Engineer Thomas has been highly praised
for his action in applying the emergency
brake and reversing the engine, stopping
the train in its own length. The engine
and tender had been overhauled and prac-
tically rebuilt three months ago and were
regarded as in the best of condition.
The track at the scene of the wreck was
torn up for 500 feet, but two wrecking crews
were set to work and trains this afternoon
ran on time. The wreck as viewed to-day
was simply mass of ashes and twisted
iron, every vestige of inf1ammable material
being consumed. By dark tonight there
was hardly sign of wreck, the stuff being
shoveled over the EN- bankment and buried
and the track rebuilt. Tonight there are
rumors of score or more of damage suits
against the company for loss of baggage.

serious delays, due to storms and acci-
dents, the Bowers Dredging Company
has filled in and raised to two feet above
high tide about twelve acres, and inside OF
three months sixteen acres additional
will have been filed. The depth of the
fill in some places is as great as twenty
two feet, but on an average the depth
of the fill is sixteen to eighteen feet. The
fill is protected from the action of the
Sound by brush and pile bulkhead.
The filled land is capable of sustaining
buildings of any dimensions and weight.
Too great Importance cannot be attached
to this great work, and the benefits that
the city will derive from it need no COM
ment.
The citizens of Seattle contributed $780,
600 to the work, but st. Louis capitalists
are mainly financiering the enterprise.
There are no obstacles, either physical or
financial, in the way of satisfactory COM
pletion OF the work, and when completed
Seattle will have one OF the finest, if not
the finest harbor in the world.
Seattle is without doubt the most ad-
yantageonsly located city on the Pacific
Coast to feel and profit by the opening up
of Alaskan resources. Her trade with that
country is rapidly increasing, and the
Chamber of Commerce is using its best
efforts to develop Alaskan trade. Several
shipping, express and transportation
companies have recently been organized
in Seattle, all in the hands of experienced
and substantial men.
Two regular lines of steamers run from
Seattle to Alaska besides a number of sail
ing vessels doing good business IN carry
ing passengers and freight to and from the
north
There can be no doubt but that as trade
opens up both at home and abroad and in
the Orient, Seattle will step to the front
rank and will eventually be one of the
greatest shipping and commercial cities on
the Pacific Coast.

bors: A whole week passed and there was
no sign that water famine existed.
Late one Saturday afternoon the men
came to repolish the oak door
and to repair front window, the glass in
one sash having been cracked by the force
of the blasting on Ashbury Heights near
| by. The man was not at home, but his
wife opened the door and afterward stood
unsuspectingly by while it was being: re-
| moved from its hinges.
| Everything progressed smoothly until
after the lower sash of the large front
| window had been taken down to the side
walk and placed near the door. Then the
little woman seemed suddenly ,(not too
suddenly to appreciate what it all meant.
She rushed frantcally down the long
| flight of steps and grasped the sash. The
| men tried TO take it away from her, but she
clung desperately on to the frame, even
after most of the glass had been smashed
out In the struggle.
The men loaded the door on their wagon
and drove away.
But the tenants were not Immediately
conquered. Next morning the neigh bors
were surprised to see two basement doors
nailed across the large window, and the
main doorway was supplied with the two
interior foldlng-doors that had been re-
moved In the night and nailed in place by
the man of the house on his return home.
For several days things went on as usual,
only the postman handed in bills through
front window and collectors and delivery
men went round to the backdoor.
Nearly week had passed when one day
hack stopped in front OF the house and
the old lady and the little girls got in.
Now you wait until [ get Polly and

when two cages had been placed in the
carriage it drove away, whittier the neigh

CORBETT AND MAHER.
They May Meet In This City at the
Olympic Club Entertain

Rumors were floating around the Olym.
pic Club yesterday that the directors in
tended making proposition to Champion
Corbett to box ten rounds with Peter
Maher at the boxing tournament of the
club, which will be held in the Pavilion in
May.
Some of the officers who were inter.
viewed on the matter laughed at the idea,
but it can be sa fely said, however, that il
the club can secure Corbett and Maher as
the star attraction of the boxing festival
those famous knights of the glove will be
seen here in May.
Corbett has intended paying this City
visit for some time purposely to see MS
parents and as Fitzsimmons has persist
emily refused to notice Corbett's challenge
until the latter has met and defeated Peter
Maher it is not by any means improbable
that Corbett will agree to any reasonable
offer made to him by the club in which he
learned how to box.
In case Corbett should meet Maher in
this City and whip the Irishman inside OF
ten rounds he would instantly challenge
Fitzsimmons and force the New Zealander
into the ring, where the worlds champion
ship contest would be decided

legal method employed lies the secret OF
it's great success and efficiency.
After all attempts at pleading for pay
ment have failed and every one of the old
methods of getting rid of the tenant have
been exhausted, then it is that the agent,
accompanied by two mechanics and a
lawyer, makes his final strategic move.
The attorney is on hand to see that nc
ground is afforded the tenants on which
to base an action for forcibly entering the
premises. At the same time care is taken
that there is not in the house any sick
person who might suffer from the ex-
posure and sue for damages.
Then the nice part of the work begins.
An entrance must be gained in legitl-
mate way. And this is usually accom-
plshed under the pretext of making some
repairs or of altering the door and window
fastenings. The doors and windows are
then removed and carted off in the express
wagon used by the mechanics.
The most recent operation of the new
scheme was upon a house on fremont
avenue, near Frederick street. The family
were ''stayers," and smooth talk, argu-
ment and threats did not avail with them.
About month ago A. M. Speck d Co.
began the siege on behalf Of the loan asso-
citation that owns the property.

house. They borrowed from their neigh

The fact that two such distinguished

sufficient to attract great crowds. Both
are earnest and successful workers and are
endowed with a personal magnetism TO

Owing to the change of time, large
