that it is case Of small pox, though the

their best to forestall any serious results,

At meeting Of the Board Of Health
held last evening, 1t was decided to have
a compulsory general vaccination in

MINERS WILL AID STRICKEN.
PREPARE TO RELIEVE THE IN

Carbonate Sufferers to Receive

First to the Observation-Disclosures
Mem Of the state TO Assist.

The miners Of washington are already
preparing to relieve the injured and fam
lies Of the victims OF the Carbonate dis
Aster, and 4 Is believed that before this
week is gone sum viii have been raised
that will go far to relieve all the immedi-
ate wants OF the sufferers.
The first action In this direction was
taken yesterday by the miners Of Cedar
Mountain. w. @. Armstrong and w. H.
Middleton, state organizers Of the fedcr-
ated unions Of Washington, went to Cedar
Mountain yesterday to attend a large
meeting Of the laborers. After several
speeches telling OF the needs of the Car
bonado people, resolution was unani-
mously passed to extend all the relief the
miners are able to give. This will amount
to probably $3.50 for each employee. or 800
In all.
The matter will be taken up this week
by the miners at Franklin Black Dia-
mond. Newcastle, Wilkeson, Blue Can
yon, Renton. Issaquah, Roslyn and other
camps. whether the employees are organ
lied or not, as all seem to realize the ex-
tent Of the great catastrophe that has be-
fallen their brethren.
The various labor unions of Seattle In
GLIDING all trades. win also join this weeks
procession of relief. and the Western Gen.
trail Labor Union Will, as an organized
body. \ also participate. The American
Federattuno Of Labor. which meets in De-
tro.t today. win be asked to assist The
fact that the Foresters. Red Men and
other fraternai organizations are strong
among mining communities 1t 10 expected
will do much toward getting relief from
such sources
When the explosion occurred at Roslyn
eight years ago the unions on the Coast.
through the Western Central Labor Union
of Seattle, contributed 1880 for relief. but
It is believed that in the present instance
this will be far exceeded. Mr.. Armstrong
has gone to Carbonate to learn what II
actually needed by the people.

CANADIAN STEAMER LOST.
Now Certain That the Niagara Went
Down with Sixteen Souls.

BUFFALO. N. Y, Dec. 10.-It IL now
certain that the Canadian steamer Niagara,
Capt McClcery, foundered on Tuesday
evening last about eight miles off Long
Point Lake Erie. with all hands, number
ing sixteen. Tugs sent out from Port Col
borne and Buffalo to search for the mis-
sing steamer have returned bringing with
them great quantities of wreckage picked
UP near where the steamer is supposed to
have foundered. The wreckage includes
part of tn Niagara's deck, portions Of the
cabins, other material and a. quantity OF
shingles marked Parry sound" for which
port the Niagara sailed for Buffalo.
Judging from the amount Of wreckage
that has been found the Niagara must
have broken up badly in the storm. It Is
the opinion of lake captains that the boat
went down In deep water, as none of her
spars have been found and IL she had gone
down in shallow water they would be stick
ing up.
The storm which destroyed the Niagara
was one OF the worst that ever ragged over
Lake Erie The wind was blowing a gale
of forty-ive miles an hour and 1t was snow
ing heavily. Even the largest and strong
est boats made for shelter and Il is the
opinion of vessel men that Capt. McClsery
attempted to turn his boat around and run
under Long Point, and in doing so encoun-
tered the full force of the storm, his craft
going to pieces.

CONFIDENT WATER WILL WIN.
Eastern Grain shippers Talking In
land Route to SeabOrd.

CHICAGO, Dec. l0.--The Tribune says:
William J. Connors. Of Buffalo, has been
in consultation here with some of the larg-
est grain shippers of Chicago, regarding an
all-water route for grain to the seaboard.
Montreal is to be the seaboard terminal of
the route, and a Chicago architect is now
working on plans for the erection at Mont
real of three elevators with an aggregate
capacity of 100000 bushels.
With these elevators there is to be fleet
of new steamers, which. through the open
water months, will be engaged In carrying
grain from the various lake ports to Mont
real, and in winter will be employed both
in coast trade and in carrying grain to
Liverpool. Mr.. Connors expressed the op.n-
lon that the project would be in operation
by July. 1900. He said: II have the sup
port of all the large grain interests of Chi
cago and Duluth. The export men have
expressed confidence In the practicability
of the scheme.
at will be the seaports that will suffer
from the new route, New York, Newport
News, Boston, Baltimore, Portland, Gal
weston and every port through which grain
passes for export. 1t will simply be a con-
test between rail and water, and am con-
fjdent water will win." v,

pERsONATED DEAD MAN.
Some One Playing the Part of Sui.
eide Aaron WOlfsohn.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10-All question
as to the Identity of the man who, as
Aaron Wolfsohn, of St. Louis, secured a
life insurance policy for $4,000 here few
is now removed. The man who took out
the policy and Killed himself is proved to
be Aaron Wolfsohn by photographs re-
OF handwriting. The only unexplained part
Of the story is as to the person who
claimed in Chicago that he was Aaron
Wolfsohn and the IDENTITY of some one
who wrote a letter to the insurance agent
to the effect that the supposed Wolfsohn
was not that man, but that murder had
been committed in order to defraud the
insurance company. The policy was paid
to the public administrator by the COM
pany, which afterwards tried TO get 1t
back. The amount will now go to the dead
mans heirs at law.

was much excitement among the hotel
guests, but all escaped by the stairways
and most of them saved their personal eff
fects.
Many commercial men stopping at the
hotel lost hundreds Of dollars worth OF
samples Several smaller buildings were
quickly destroyed and their contents lost.
