Interesting Letter From n Coast Sur
vey Steamers Engineer.
BALTIMORE, Sept. III. Todd Powell,
of East Fayette Street, who is chief en-
Gineer of the United States Coast Survey
steamer Patterson, now engaged in Alas
kan survey work. writes from Nome re-
gardirg the conditions there. The letter
is dated August II, when Baltimore was
sweltering under a temperature in the
COS. and speaks OF a violent snow and
hail storm then raging. while the noun
tains back of the town we're covered with
snow
The city itself. he writes, presents a
unique appearance. consisting of frame and
corrugated iron buildings and large num-
ber of tents stretched for miles along the
beach. Mr.. Powell states that the small
pox scare was largely exaggerated, the
disease being confined to a few isolated
cases
The famous golden beach" proved a
failure. and there is very little mining
going on except on the big claims back In
the hills. People are leaving as fast as
they can, and seem completely disgusted
with the country.
Mr.. Powell also enclosed a copy OF the
Nome Daily News a four-page news
paper, which sells for 25 cents a copy. The
news therein is entirely local. and relates
principally TO mining. A feature Of the
paper is the advertisements. Among 9TH
ers there is one of a lady physician and
surgeon, who promises to answer calls
day or night. A live department store ad-
vertises a new line OF stiff shirts in all
designs and patterns with the latest style
neckwear and collars. One restaurant
proclaims itself as the only second-elass
saloon in Alaska" while another states it
is the only place in town to get good
meal at 81
The steamer Patterson, when Mr.. Powell
wrote, was preparing to leave for Port
Clarence, Alaska, to remain there the rest
of the season.

Neck mt Jackson City.

Neck mt Jackson City.

2224 Fl Street northwest, is at the Emer-
gency Hospital suffering from serious stab
/ wounds received at Jackson City, while
| his alleged assailant, George Gamble, is
still at large. Conway may die from his
wounds. He is married and has several
! children.
No eye witness of the crime has yet
been found, bur a companion of Conway.
residing on Ward Place northwest, was
near the scene. Yesterday afternoon he
| accompanied Conway to Jackson City.
They took the $50 o'clock train over the
Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railway,
reaching the south end of the Long Bridge
shortly afterward. They spent some little
time about the saloons, drinking here and
there, and about o'clock entered a house
said to be owned by Gamble. The build
ing is two story brick structure, the
lower floor of which was formerly occu-
pied as a bar, but more recently has been
closed. Above are three rooms, to which
a long flight of stairs. approached by a
side entrance, leads. In the front room
Gamble and Conway became involved in a
game Of "seven-up." The men played
several hands when Conway, who is said
TO have been slightly intoxicated, accused
Gamble, it in said. of unfair dealing A
dispute arose. Conway is said to have
grabbed money from the table, and the
men started for each other.
A man said to be employed by Gamble
to superintend the place. together with
the friend of Conway, interfered and the
men were parted. They edged toward the
door OF the room, however, and at the
head of the stairs leading from the build
ing a serious encounter occurred. Both
the manager Of The house and others had
left the room Tioni5ntarily, but ere
startled by heavy fall. Conway, stabbed
in the abdomen and in the side of the
neck, had fallen headlong down the stair
way.
The friend of Conway ran to assist him
and the wounded man was removed to the
platform of the railroad company and a
carriage secured. While being placed in
the vehicle Gamble appeared armed with
a brick, but retired after making threats
so 1t is said Conway was brought here
and placed at the hospital.
The local police can take no action in
the premises. but will today notify the
Virginia authorities of the trouble.
