TRAINS run IN SOUND COUNTRY
Floods Have Receded and Repair
Work Begun.

SEATTLE. Nov. 1S.-The recent
floods in the northwest are rapidly
subsiding. Commerce is being re-
sumed, reconstruction of railway
bridges and lines and general repair
work is progressing. The general
loss is normal, and the entire coun-
try is rapidly regaining its usual
thriving and prosperous appearance.
The transcontinental service is
now complete. being made by boat
from Seattle it is only necessary TO
go TO Tacoma by boat, take the Nor
thern Pacific to Olequa. going from
that point by point TO Kalama. and
again taking the Northern Pacific at
the later place Portland. Railroad
tickets covering this route are honor
ed on the boats. The trip TO Vancou-
Yer, B. c., may be made by rail with
but one transfer, the trains running
on the regular schedule. Railway
officials state that the through
transcontinental service will be re-
sumed in a few days throughout the
northwest. The local schedule will
also be regulated to conform with
conditions previous TO the floods.

TIE name of W. L. Steinweg was
the only one presented for the Of
flee of alderman-at-large AS soon
as he was named a motion prevailed
that the secretary be instructed to
cast the vote of the convention for
him, which was done amid great APP
plause.
Some discussion prevailed about
the manner of voting for councilmen
from the three wards of the city TO
elect epresentatives-the First.
Third and Fifth. Some thought the
convention should not have a voice
in naming these, while others
thought that each councilman repre-
sented the interests of the entire
city, and that all the wards were
equally interested in each. 1t was
finally decided thus, and the names
of F. Fl. Foote and j. o. Gull placed
in nomination from the first. On
motion the council agreed TO take n
standing vote on the nominees in
turn, the one receiving the, highest
number being declared the nominee.
The vote taken in this manner Left
no doubt about the will of the CON
vention, and Mr. Gull was declared
duly nominated No name beside
that of a. E. Knerr was suggested
for councilman from the Third.
and he was elected by unanimous
vote
Will Thompson and d. NJ. Rand

had at all times voted and worked
for the best interests of the city. but
that he did MOI feel that he could be
candidate on the present platform.
His speech was heartily cheered, and
on motion the secretary was then
instructed TO cast the vote of the
convention for Mr. Rand.

More Indictments in Frisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2O.-The
grand jury returned two indictments
this afternoon, one accusing Peter
Duffy of perjury and the other
charging Fred Nichols with agree
ing to take brides. Duffy is a
hangeron about court and was for
merly an elevator man in the hall of
justice. The charge against Mich
OILS grows out of the purchase of
furniture for the city. In the in
dictment Supervisor Handbook is re-
ported as having been an interme-
diary between a furniture firm and
Nichols. No action has yet been ia
ken against Handbook. Duffy was
indicted in connection with testi-
mony he gave before the jury in the
investigation of Supervisor Mich
OILS.

New Yorker Cautiously Rebuked,
Gently Jostled and Deity Relieved.
Extreme politeness on the part Of two
pickpockets somewhat tempered the anger
of Henry Hartman, former assistant dis
trict attorney, Saturday night. when he dis
covered that the young men had taken his
wallet containing $11O.
Mr.. Hartman lives at $50 West 18th
street, New York. He was returning from
New Jersey with his wife at o'clock Sat-
urday evening and when about to step on
a crosstown 125th street car at the Fort
Lee ferry. neatly dressed young man took
him by the arm and gently drew him back.
BEG your pardon. SIR said the youth.
but let the lady get in first" 1t was all
done so gently that Mr. Hartman could not
take offense.
Both men smiled and Mr.. Hartman even
ceding his wife into the car. Then the
young man stepped in ahead of the man
whose rudeness he had rebuked.
Then the car started and just as MI;
Hartman swung on the step another tall
stylishly attired young man sprang on after
him and gave him a hard shove against the
first man. Then the first man. pretending
that he was thrown off his balance by the
movement of the car, jostled Mr. Hartman
back against the tall man.
