The Seattle Post-IntclllnEenSer reprints

recently appeared in the Astorian re-
gardlng the control Of the o r. & y,

the Interest OF the Vanderbilt ccean-to-
ocean system. The fighi for commercial
supremacy on the Pacific cogs, Is admit

tween the combination. and along the
linens outlined by the Astorian. and the
Great Northern. with the Baltimore s
Ohio. or the Htl system. II Is agreed
that the question ot ultimate outcome
in this hght Involves the utilization and
development Of Astoria as the Wander
but terminal. The fact that the Post
1ntelligencer devotes so much space 20
the subject is evidence ot the correctness
OF the position taken hy the Asiorian. and
shows that the rivalry Tor the rank ot
second city on the Pacific coas, IS be-
tween Seattle and Astoria-with chances
largely in favor Of the latter by rea-
son OF its more advantageous location.

The spectacle was courage Sappjng and
piiiful, but I do not bohcyc that the
wounded soldiers who were being burned
suffered greatly, If they suffered at all.
Wounded soldiers, it mattcrcd not how

The Scene After tho Death Dealing NClley
Had Done Its Work.
The yelling mass below neared the
walls a whistle pierced the tumult.
From the windows jetted swift lines of
flame, ard a shattering volley tore the
air.
= crash, and then stiffness or the
mob, all intense hush, a swift paralysis;
blue gray smoke cloud fioated up the
walls and out over the jailyard Men
gasped, then held their breath. From
their nests in the caves startled spar
rows few above the crowd with fright
enad twitterings.
In the Jail corridor sounded the clink,
clink of empty shells falling to the floor
as nervous fingers fumbled at boxes or
showed fresh cartridges home with a
snap swapping Of breechhlocks, while
staring eyes were fixed upon the scene
outside.
From below came u new sound, the
noise of agony. On the outskirts Of the
crowd men were running. The mob
surged back from the Jail walls. In the
space left clear lay PROSTATE forms cut
stretched or huddled in attitudes of gro
tesqUe horror on the stone paved way.
One figure half arose, waVcred back
ward and then fell toward the retreat
ing mob with a gasping cry. Men run
ming back from the crowd with appro-
hensive glapces at the windows carried
off the limp forms. In the crowd men
bore up other men who reeled and stag
gered to and fro.
The corridor was very Etill. The
guard stood Ill silence. Here and there
one drew a long breath. with Il slow
hoaving of the chest and lifting Of tho
shoulders. Turning their eyes with an
effort from the mob, they glanced at
each ether as though seeking confrma-
ton for their thoughts, to be assured
that all this thing had happened. that
the dark forms CT the pavement below
had been Il grim reality. 4 slight, Tale
faced private threw his rifle to the floor
and turned bis face from the window,
with q burst Of shuddering sobs. Others
swore apparently at nothing and busted
Themselves with their weapons. No one
paid any heed to the private who wept
except that his next rank man stopped
and picked up his rife. The smell of

EYEsloHT FOR LIBERTY.
a Missouri Conviet's Desperate and Orig
inaI Efforts to Escape


inaI Efforts to Escape.
An inmate of the workhouse at Kansas
City named Bond exercises exceptional in
genuity in mis- efforts to escape. \ short
time ago he iccnmc so rebcllious it was
found necessary To lock him up in the dark
cell with his hands handcu1fcl. While
there he planiicd 70 escape by assaulting
the guard, hoping TO knock him senseless
End escape before assistance could be sum-
noncl. The scheme was wen planned,
but miscarried. Shortly after he was
locked up in the cell, which also contained
another prisoner, he called for the guard
and complained that the handouts were
50 tight tl,sy hurt his wrist. The manacles
were Heightened out q notch and the
guard left. A. soon as he was gone Bond
sliPuca his left hand out of the irons. leav-
ing the handouts dangling from his right
hand. Then the ether prisoner, who had
consented to aid in the plan to escape,
called for the guard, saying nc was sick
ard needed assistance. As the guard en-
tered the cell Bond struck him over the
head with the hurdcuTs, knocking him to
the floor, but not rendering him uEcun-
scious The latter was ON his feet in an
instant, grupplCd with the desperate pris-
oner and called Tor assistance. Other
guards rushed ia and the two men were
secured.
Bond was quiet for some time after this
escapadc, but lately has been complaining
of being very sick, ana on several occa-
siOus tried to induce Assistant City Physi-
clan Lapp to send him To the hospital.
Tho doctor examined the man, and, asccr-
tanning that the sickness was imaginary
and convinced that his only object in
wanting To be sent 70 the hospital was to
secure = better chance to escape, declined
TO have him sent there.
Subsequently Dr.. Lapp was summoned
TO the wCrl5house to SEQ Bond, whose eyes
We're found II Bc terribly in1lamed and al
most closed, and as the nature of the case
was serious Bond was taken to the hospi-
tai where it WIS found that he had rub
bed some poisonous substance in his eyes
in ordCr to make them sore, 80 he could be
sent to the hospital.
He succeeded only too well. as it is tho
opinion OF the attending physicians that
as u result Of the Injection of the poison
in his eyes he will become totally blind.
In the meantime he has been chained to
coz in the hospital for fear even in his
present condition he may make an effort
tO get away. Should lie recover and serve
OUT his time he win be at Once rearrested
on tic charge OF foloniouS assault on Il
guard and perhaps for some even more
serious crime, which he seems to think has
been discovered and may be charged
against him.
