DROWNED IN THE RIVER.
j. Barrett Went to Swim and Sue
cumbed to the Swift Current.

Yesterday morning word was taken
to the Coroner's office that a young
man had been seen to drown in the
river below the street levee, and
Deputy Coroner Craig Immediately
Went to the scene Of the accident.
Coroner Craig found the clothing of
the drowned man and learned from
some boys that they had seen a young
man walk down to the water and di-
vest himself of his clothing, which he
washed and then hung up to dry after
which he plunged into the stream.
The current of the river at that
psnt is swift, and owing to its mar
rowness, eddies are formed which make
it dangerous for even an expert SWIM
mer. The boys saw the bather drown
without being able to assist him.
Mr.. Craig took charge of the cloth
ing, which was subsequently identified
as those belonging to ]. Barrett, who
for the past week has been employed
by George E. Dierssen of this city.
Little is known of the drowned man.
he having only recently arrived in this
city. The body has not been recovered.

HAIL TO THE CIRCUS.
Walter L. Mains Big Shows Will
be Here Monday.

Nothing else is so much talked about
in Sacramento just now as the circus
1t is evident from exchanges that its
western tour has so far been a glitter
ing success. The following criticism Is
taken from the Seattle Times of July
Z, 1897:
Superior TO any show that has ever
visited Seattle under canvas is the
Walter L. Main circus. The grand
spectacular street parade was an abso-
lutte novelty. Old time methods and
features had been almost entirely eX-
Guided by this show and in their stead
the newest and brightest features i'm
aginable have been incorporated. Pro-
fusely gilded and carved animal vans,
chariots and tableau wagons took the
places of the old time red wagons, and
the open dens of wild animals were the
center of attraction, while the splendid
horses created no little comment from
the throngs of people who lined the
streets through which the parade
passed. The accoutrements and trap
pings were of the finest-nothing finer
could be imagined. This afternoon the
immense tents We're packed by an au-
dience that as act after act and nov
city d1lcI IlON6ilg W oS III GSCIAlC0 III
id succession grew wildly enthusiastic
and applauded to the echo.' Among the
many leading features is the aerial bar
performance of the Picard brothers,
whose difficult feats of skill and daring,
double and treble somersaults from the
bars into the net below We're most in
teresting as well as exciting. The Ty-
bells, the flying trapeZe Of the Yer
mons, the line of leapers with GrigSs
and Bell, the champions; the riding Of
the Lowandas, De Van, O'Dale, Miss
Corriea and Miss Livingstone are all
worthy of special mention, as was also
the great acrobatic work of the famous
Eddy family announced as "England's g
greatest society acrobats" The trained
animals in the great iron den, per-
formed by Jessie Howard, their train
er, were simply wonderful. Nothing
like it ever has been done in a circus
arena before. The menag gerie connected
with the show was particularly inter-
esting. There We're the usual number
of wild animals, including elephants,
camels and a fine specimen of the
Bovalapus from the Upper Nile. Prob
ably the most interesting features We're
the little lion and leopard cubs, of
which there are five, whose cute and
playful actions are very amusing to
both old and young. The hippodrome
races, which closed the performance,
We're very fine and drew forth the pla1l-
dts of the great audience in attend
ance. Takap as whole the show was
an emphatic hit with everybody, ana
the management can always count on
receiving hearty welcome whenever
they see fit to bring back to Seattle
the Walter Main shows. If other show
men would try to treat their patrons
with the courtesy and kindness that
Walter Main does it would rebound
greatly to their credit. A great deal
of favorable comment was made on the
entire absence of sure-thing games and
fakirS

SNOWFLAKE PARK OPENING.
Gilt Edges and California Markets
Will Play the First Game.

Sunday afternoon will witness the
opening to the public of the new Snow
flake Park, at Twenty eighth and r
streets, where the old one used to be,

this city and the California Markets

The clubs have met each other be-
fore, and each has a game to its credit.
so that there is an old grudge to settle
between them, and as both are rattlers,
great ball is expected of them.
Everything will be in shape by sun
day morning. The city's steam roller
has been employed to level the ground,
and it is in fine shape. The grand
stand has a seating capacity of 5000.
and allows all an excellent opportunity
to see the whole ground. A double
system of umpiring has been adopted,
Captain of Police Fisher and Jim Nc
Donald being the referees. 1t is an
nounced that Mayor Hubbard will throw
the first ball and call the game, and
the city officials have all been invited
to attend.
The Brewers will have Hughes in the
box. Farrell will be at the receiving
end. and his strong throwing will pre-

THE CHINATOWN MURDER.
Police Think It Was RetaIiatory
for Eung Ah Chung's Killing.

Very little additional light has been
thrown on the murder of Ming Cow, the
MarysVille Chinaman who was killed by
cuntryman in Chinatown Thursday
night, full account of which was pub
lished in yesterdays Record Union. ="
Captain Fisher and Officer Pennish
We're working on the case yesterday.
and located several white witnesses
who will testify to having seen Chin
All Cow, the man arrested on suspicion
of having committed the murder in
the vicinity shortly before the shot
was fired.
Quong Sing was arrested yesterday
morning on suspicion of being an ac-
complice in the killing. He was found
by Captain Fisher and Officer Maley
hid away in a water closet, and was
promptly locked up.
About six weeks Eung All Chung,
who belonged to the Suey On Tong
gang of highbinders, was assassinated
it is supposed, by a member of the
Fong Duck Tong aggregation of thugs
Captain Fisher has ascertained that
Ming Cow was a member of the Fong
Duck Tongs, and is now of the
opinion that the murder was merely
retaliatory measure on the part of
the Suey On gang.
Guam Hing, the foreman of the l.
Elkus store, who reported to the police
that a highbinder war was imminent,
before the shooting took place, left the
city yesterday morning, stating that he
was afraid to stop longer, as he was
sure to be murdered. He was escorted
10 the station by an officer detailed
for the purpose.
The autopsy viii be held on the dead
Chinaman this afternoon.

The regiment, including Companies
z and G of this city, will assemble at
the Armory at 6:30 o'clock p. m., sharp,

WANTED TO KILL HERSELF.
Maggie Schneider Took a Dose of
What She Claimed Was Poison.

Late last night a young woman
named Maggie Schneider, who occupied
a room in a lodging house at Fourth
and K streets, took a considerable
quantity of some kind of yellowish
powder, and let it be understood that
it was poison, and that she had taken
it with suicidal intent.
She was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital, where she. was attended by City
Physician Nichols. The physician could
find nothing to indicate poisoning ex-
cept a distention of the pupils Of the
eyes, and thought it possibel that she
had taken a heavy dose Of belladona.
The woman said she had attempted
suicide because her parents, who reside
in Switzerland, do not treat her We'll.
After being treated she returned to her
room.

New York. October 5.-A World dispatcn
from Moirid says:
Sagasta has been disappointed in his
efforts to induce all prominent statesmen
Of the liberal party to Join his cabinet
in the present critical circumstances.
Therefore he has had to content himself
with a ministry composed Of respectable
but less influential personal friends. An
Id feud between the right wing and the
democrats in the liberal party prevented
Senior Gamazo from accepting his seat a1d
his brother-in-law, Senior Maura. the
author OF the first Cuban home rule bill.
also is excluded. chiefly through the in
fuence of the liberal party in Spain.
The only strong men in the cabinet are
Senior Puigoesver. the minister OF finance;
Senior Gapdebon. the minister OF the in
terror; and Senor Morel. the minister for
the colonies. The last-named accepted
the colonies with view OF playing the
hief part in reversing the policy Of tie
in regard TO Cuba and the
Philippine Islands. With his kno Wedge
OF English, Senor Morel naturally will
e in a position to assist the minister OF
foreign affairs. Senior Gullon. who Is
well acquainted with Spain's foreign
as is Morel.
