NIGHT ON THE MIDWAY.
Show Admissions Increased and
Passes Not HOnOred.

The biggest crowd of the week was on
the Midway last night. Those who had
been there other evenings thought they had
been squeezed, but their former expert
ences were nothing compared to the pres
sure last night. BY s o'clock there was a
jam from Capitol to Senate avenues on
Ohio street. The "barkers" for the side
shows looked down with smiling faces upon
the dense sea Of people and cried louder
and louder as the sightseers increased in
numbers The shows '~'ballyhoed' until the
tents were crowded TO the entrance way be-
fore beginning the performances. Then the
performances, in many instances, were cut
short to accommodate a crowd on the out
side that was ever eager to get on the in
side. The show people themselves seemed
almost astounded at the rush to see their
performances.
The crowds continued to swell until after
8 o'clock, and nobody left the lOng inclos-
ure. The crowd gradually worked its way
into Capitol avenue, where the exhibition
OF Captain Hales fire fighters was to take
place. The exhibition was given at 10
o'clock. but long before that hour the ave-
nue. from Washington to Ohio streets was
packed. Before the run TO the fire the fire.
men gave an extra exhibition of ladder
climbing. life rescuing and other daring
feats. They then gave an exhibition with
their horses. The animals, with almost hui
man intelligence, did various m~aneuvers,
guided by the sound of the bugle. After
this the firemen made a run to the burning
building and went through the usual per-
Torrance.
notwithstanding the fact that the carni-
val committee printed uniform 10-cent tick
cts for all of the shows on the Midway.
some increased their prices last night to Is
cents, one show announcing on a placard.
Because we need the money" Some of
the shows also refused to honor passes is
sued by the carnival committee, which say
on either side that they are good for 'all
entertainments" No explanation was
given for these advances in prices and re-
fusal to honor passes other than that they
needed the money and that the crowd was
so large they had TO charge more.

NOTES FROM
PrOspectors Possibly DrOwned-Rush
for Arctic Regions.

PORT TOWNSEND, Oct. 1.-THE steam
err St. Paul has arrived from Nome with
Goa passengers and $1,5O0,0OO in gold. She
sailed from Nome Oct. 6. According
to reports brought by the st. Paul, Candle
creek is not promising.
Since the storm of Sept. 26 the weather
has been fairly good. People from all
parts of the Arctic section are arriving at
Nome, and there is a rush at the transport
tation offices TO secure passage on the
steamers sailing south.
George w. Ramsay and j.. Gordon Tenn
pie left Nome in "a small boat for Taller.
en- route to the Kougarok, on July 10 last.
So far as known nothing has been heard
from them. Parts of a boat and various
kinds of goods were found Oct. / scattered
along the shore near Topkok. The goods
were marked 'LundStrum," and came from
the Northern Commercial Company.
A boat belonging TO the BenbroOk party,
which left Nome in July, 1890, for Kuskok-
win, has been picked up at Kuskokwim
hay, and fears are entertained that the
party of five has been drowned, as moth
ing has been heard of them.

MOTION FOR INJUNCTION
Made Against the Striking Shipjoiners
by a New York Member.

NEW YORK. Oct. H.-Motion was made
before Justice Dickey at special term Of
the Supreme Court to-day for an injunction
TO restrain the Manhattan Sh%ipjoiners' AS
ISOLATION from interfering with Charles A.
Winant in his effort to secure employment
and also to restrain the association from
using it's funds for the purpose of a strike
ordered by them.
Winant was employed by the John H.
Robins Company, in September last, when
the other special joiners employed by the
firm struck for shorter hours. Winant re-
fused 10 Join in the strike and alleges that
he was then ordered TO appear before a
board of inquiry for the association. He OBJ
jected TO appearing on the ground that there
had been no violation of the rules of the
constitution on his part, and he was there
upon expelled from the association. He
says that the money used for the strike
was taken from a trust fund created for the
benefit OF the employees OF the association,
and therefore could not legally be taken for
the purpose for which IL was used. De-
ciSion was reserved.

to-day on his way TO the Samoan islands.
In reply TO a reporter as to whether Schley

public, however. TO know that Admiral
Dewey is on that board of investigation"
Admiral Evans thought the Texas battle

An Extensive Hole.

The ''hole in the ground" that is be-
ing made for the Schultis-Koch build
ing on the old Mary Sullivan lot, and
the sewer from it will cost the owners
over thousand dollars. The hole is
42x100 feet, and as it goes to level of
nine feet below the sidewalk its average
depth from the former level of the top
of the lot will be about 16 feet-at the
rear end it will be over Is feet deep
from the top. The contractor will
move about $500 cubic yards of earth
and haul about 1000 loads-for which
he receives 10 cents a load, and thus
makes some money ON his contract.
The level of the floor of the cellar will
be about three feet below that of the
sewer on Main street opposite, and that
necessitated the running the sewer from
the building down the street nearly to
Jefferson before making connections.
Most of the clay from the cellar is being
hauled to lots on E. Cunningham st.
