Passenger Agent Charlton. of the
Northern Pacific Railway, turned
down very unceremoniously the APP
peal of the Chamber of Commerce
Committee for restoring the former
schedule of arrivals and departures,
limiting that he might recommend a
stub-train" or hand-car spe-
cial, to arrive from Tacoma about
nine o'clock and return an hour
later. That would serve to de-
liver the mails and down-SOund
papers, but that was all Olympia
could hope for during the winter sea-
son. The distinguished agent of the
company was short as pie-crust in
treatment of the matter and hardly
gave the committee an opportunity
to retreat in good order.
The case of Charles H. Springer
against Robert A. Aver, receiver of
the assets of John H. Saunders, the
replevin case involving the title to a
donkey engine and attachments,
came up again on last Monday MORN
ing in the Superior Court on motion
of plaintiff to substitute James Nc
Dowell, trustee in bankruptcy, in
stead of Robert A. Aver, as defend
ant in the case. The application
was vigorously opposed by attorneys
Byron Millett and f. N. Steele, ap-
pearing for defendant, Aver, and
intervenors Chambers, Lansdale and
Ramberg. Mr.. Millett contended
that Springer and Mcdowell repre-
scented the same interests. Geo. H.
Funk, as the lawyer of Mr.. Springer,
also asked leave to file q supple
mental complaint, which was grant
ed by the court over objec tions of
defendant and interveners, and the
court ordered Mcdowell to be brought
into the case as party defendant.

The estate of Henrietta Quale, de-
ceased, has been finally closed and
settled by decree of the Superior
Court of this county. The State in
heritance tax was $51.77. The
legacies of 500 to Mrs. Ellen Scully,
Robt. Hawthorne, Otis Hawthorne
respectively, and $500 to St. Paul's
Evangelical Lutheran Church of
Olympia, have been paid by the
Rev. VIM. N. Hohberger,
the pastor. This church is also
legatee under the last
will OF deceased. The real estate
consisting of city improved property
valued at s., 1000, was devised to de.
ceased's only son, Abram Quale, and
her granddaughter, Marie Davidson,
equally. The executor caused q
good monument to be erected to the
memory of deceased in Odd Fellows
cemetery at the expense of the
estate. In the lifetime of Mrs.
Quale, Mrs. Scully had performed
the kind Offices of a neighbor and
friend for many years, administer
ing faithfully to her wants in her
last sickness. The Hawthorne boys
had for several years prior to her
death rendered deceased valuable
and neighborly services. These kind
ly acts doubtless prompted the above
bequests.
