RACING AGAINST TIME.


Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
PORT TOWNSEND, Jan. 29.-Great in
terest is being shown in the arrival of
the ship May Flint now out seventy-six
days from Hongkong. bound for Tacoma
to load wheat for the United Kingdom.
The charter expires on the 31st. and the
arrival Of the Flint before that date
means the saving of about $4,000 to her
owners.
She is chartered at forty shillings,. an
amount much higher than the going rate,
and no expense will be spared to get her
in. 1t Is rumored that a substantial gift
awaits the tugboat captain who picks her
shutdown on Wednesday.
The British ship. Engelhorn, fifty-two
days from Shanghai. will also lose good
charter if she Is not in port soon. The
charter of the German ship Silo has ex-
PRED. She was forced into Hongkong
for repairs, and is now out eighty-two
days from that port. The schooner Spo-
kane arrived this morning from Kobe In
the record time of twenty-four days. She
was ordered TO Diamond point for fumi-
cation.

Mr.. Prather the following:

LAND AND TERMINAL COMPANY.
To BE organized to Purchase and
Control Tide Lands.

Special Dispatch to the acknowledgement.
TACOMA, Jan. ga mass meeting has
been called to meet tomorrow night at the
Chamber Of Commerce to complete The
formation of the Tacoma Shippers Assoc
citation and also to take steps toward the
organization of a local land and terminal
company. 1t is proposed to form a cor
poraton in which leading merchants and
citizens will be stockholders, to purchase,
fill in and develop the largest section of the
Tacoma tide flats lying between the city
channel and the st. Paul mill dock. A
narrow strip around the outer edge has
been purchased by the Tacoma Land Com
pany, but streets are plated out to deep
water, insuring an exit to deep water
docks from the main body of tide lands in
the center.
These lands are now appraised at about
5000 per acre, which is nearly double the
appraisement made by the tide land COM
missioners who plated them. If lower
ing of the appraisement can be secured
these tide lands are almost certain to pass
into the hands of Tacoma citizens instead
of being purchased later by corporations,
for speculative purposes. The purpose of
the local land and terminal company will be
to keep the tide lands intact for manu-
featuring purposes, at the same time reserv-
ing terminal grounds for railroads which
may subsequently enter the city.

BEAT WIFE AND TOOK POISON.
suPprising Conduct Of Hitherto
Quiet Citizen.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
MONTESANO, Jan. 90. F. Bazxle
who has been a resident of this city for
the past nine years. and who, while not
very popular, has been quiet citizen,
greatly surprised the people of this town
Saturday morning by beating his wife,
chasing her from the house with her two
children, and finally wound up his gyra-
lions by following her to the home of
her father. where he swallowed dose of
poison.
No particular cause is known for the
dastardly act of Bazzle. But since this
trouble 1t has developed that he has been
of very sour temperament and has been
very harsh with his wife on several occa-
sions. He is a man of means and, while
loaning money, would barely allow his
wife enough to keep up the family'S ex-
istence, and kept her in a constant dread
of him. He has been in the employ OF
the Northern Pacific for some time In the
capacity of section boss, and his natural
appearance Is that of a man with very
bad disposition.
DR.. f. p. French was called and sue
ceeded in saving the mans life after an
hours hard work
The citizens of the town are quite work
ed up over the affair, and while there is
much sympathy expressed for Mrs. Bazzle
and her two small children, many are the
expressions that 1t would have been bet
ter IL the man had succeeded In his at
tempt at self-destruction.

and Other OMenses.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
NEW WfIATCOM, JAM 29.-Ed. c. Jen-
kins, the juror whose conduct caused the
sensational ending Of the Ollie Harmon
case on Saturday, was today sentenced
to sixty days imprisonment and the pay
ment Of a fine Of 800 and costs. Jenkins
was charged with contempt of court, con-
duct unbecoming juror and soliciting
bride.
The evidence against him showed that
he was drunk Friday night, visited a
Fairhaven immoral house and solicited In
formation and money to influence his de-
cision in the case against Ollie Harmon,
who was charged with conducting SINH
lar place, in which he robbed one OF the
rooms of several toilet articles, slept
most of the night in a Whatcom saloon
and was an hour late at court In the
morning. The defendant admitted being
drunk and had a hazy recollection of be-
ing searched in some house.
He denied all remembrance of soliciting
a bribe and stated he was late through a
misunderstanding as to the hour of COM
mencing court. A number of witnesses
testified as to his previous good charac-
ter. Judge Hadley, in imposing sentence,
gave the defendant a sound lecture on
the jurors conduct. The sentence is gen.
orally considered to be lenfent.

Special Despatch to the acknowledgement.
VICTORIA, b. c.. Jan. 29.--News was re-
ceived by the steamer Danube tonight that
indications point Enthusiastically to the muir
der OF the members OF the Clayson party
on the Yukon trail. It Is now stated that
the draft found on O'Brien, who was ar
rested on Suspicion In connection with the
case, Is drawn In favor Of Linn Relfe. one
OF tne members Of the missing party.
eriii. who left Dawson three days after
the party Is that storekeeper named Nc
nay mad cache of fine groceries near
Mimic. over which he placed watohman
Inc latter one morning found tracks lead
ing. away from the cacne and fol-
lowing them two miles into the
woods found another camp, where
was some OF the stolen pro-
perty. He went back to Sellxirk and took
out warrant for the arrest of the men.
While the warrant was being sought. the
CIayson party came along. When the
police reached the camp they found It
deserted. A rifle lay across the bed ana a
fresh trail led out towards the Hootalin-
qua country.
1t is believed by the police that during
the absence Of the Waterman at Selklrk the
thieves returned to the camp and found
by tracks about the place that their theft
was discovered. 1t Is also believed that
they completed their villainy by numbering
the Clayson party, and then escaped as
indicated.
The facts contained in the foregoing
story are believed by Mr.. Relies friends in
this city to be based on reports which
reached this city from the North some
days ago. All such reports, thus far, lack
confirmation. It is known that Mr.. Relfe
had draft on his person and that the
local representative of the Dawson bank
which issued 1t has been notified to re-
fuse payment II presented. 1t has not
been established according to Mr.. Relics
friends that the draft was found in the
possession of any person arrested by the
mounted police.
The truth is that nothing tangible in
connection with the arrest Of men sup
posed to be guilty of the alleged muir
der has come down from the North. The
mounted police are, 1t is believed, un-
doubtedly doing everything in their power
to clear up the mystery of the disappear
ance Of the three young men.
No definite news seems to be obtainable
concerning the details Of their work, but
it 10 believed that Alaska boats arriving
during the present week will bring some
tangible news concerning the alleged ar
rests of the suspects
