Of giant gelatine at the Giant
Powder Works were seen entering
the Alviso slough, the lowest ex-

the afternoon of September 20.
Police and special detectives

Clarence Dayton Hillman, the
Seattle real estate millionaire, was
indicted by the federal grand jury
yesterday afternoon for an aggre-
gate of 2S counts, on six indict-
ments charging fraudulent use of
the mails.
The indictments connect Hill
man with alleged fraudulent real
estate deals in Snohomish, Thurs
ton, Kftsap, Pierce and King coun-
ties.
One of the indictments deal
with advertisements placed in Sc
.attle and Tacoma papers in which
small tracts with horses, barns,
cows, chickens, tools, ducks and
farming tools were offered at
ridiculously low prices to attract
customers.
Hillman recently sued the Sc
.attle Star for alleged libel as
result of articles appearing in
that paper with reference to his
deals. These suits were recently
thrown out of court.
1t was expected that Hillman
would be arrested in Seattle this
morning by the United States mar
shall. Bail was placed at $1,000
for each of the six indictments.
Hillman is being brought here
this afternoon to be arraigned.

He Saved Lincoln

From Harper's Magazine.
 In 1861 the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore road was the only direct line connecting New York City and the New England states with Washington; that this railroad should be kept unbroken at this critical time was of the utmost importance. It was readily discovered that a plot existed among the Maryland secessionists Nto cut the line by burning the bridges; but the first hint of the real purpose of the eonspirators came to Pinkerton in a letter from the master machinist of the railroad, MT. William Stearns; he wrote:
 'I am informed that son of a dis tinguished citizen of Maryland said that he had taken an oath with others to assassinate MT. Lincoln before he gets to Washington.
 Pinkerton sent for more of his men. and redoubled his efforts to learn some thing tangible of this or any other plot. well organized. did exist-he learned enough in Baltimore to convince him of that; also-through Stearns-that branch of the organization was at Per rymansville in the guise of a cavalry company. Webster, who had been with drawn from there, was hurried back, and within A hours had been enrolled as u InemDeT OI lile company. ncH capped by the shortness of time, he made supreme effort to gain the conf1- dence of the inner circle of conspirators. who alone were in the principal plot. Few men could have succeeded as Web ster did, few have such a personality as his. Naturally he was of a quiet, re- served disposition, seldom speaking unless spoken to, and never betraying emotion or excitment under any pressure of cir cumstances; but with the need his re- serve would vanish, and he would be- come a genial, jovial convivial soul, with a wonderful faculty for making every one admire and like him. In a few cunningly worded sentences he would rouse the blood of his hearers until 1t fairly boiled with indignation against the yankees and Abe Lincoln.
 'Webster's talent for sustaining a role of this kind amounted to positive genius; in lifetime of detective experience have never met one who could more readily adapt himself to circumstances" Allan Pinkerton has written.
 It was with such a weapon that Web ster was making his great fight.
 The tour of the President-elect was rap idly drawing to its end. Webster, con- sumate actor was making haste slowly; grave, fiery. serious, boisterous-each at the golden time, he played with a mas terful hand upon the excited. high-strung conspirators. From the first his efforts had been covertly directly against the
