 TRAGEDY AT ANCHORAGE
Anchorage Times.)

Two members of the Emil Savola family are dead and the attractive farm home of the Green Lake home steader is in ashes as the result of the explosion of gasoline with which Mrs. Savola attempted to start fire in the kitchen stove, thinking it was kerosene Mrs. .Savola and Anna, 16- year-old daughter of MT. Savola, were fatally injured, both passing away at the Anchorage hospital during the night, one shortly after midnight and the other at an early hour this morn ing.
 MT. and Mrs. Savola and their three children were in town yesterday afternoon for the purpose of attend ing the funeral of the late Onni Tu- omi, former neighbor, and it was shortly after their return to their Green Lake home, about five miles north of the city, on the Loop high way, that the tragedy occurred.
 MT. Savola, who has not been we'll lately, went to his room as soon as he returned home, while Mrs. Savola and Anna went into the kitchen to make preparations for dinner. Within a very few minutes after he had thrown himself across the bed MT. Savola heard an explosion in the direction of the kitchen and rushed downstairs to ascertain the cause. When he opened the kitchen noor flames burst out at him and prevented him from entering. He then went around to the back of

Alaska Notes Gathered From Territorial
 Exchanges.

Judge E. Coke Hill has been hold ing term of court at Cordova lately, the trial of criminal cases taking up
 d ma ior part of the courts time there. In the case of U. s. vs. George To- leas, in which the defendant was &C., scused of illegal possession of ten bea- wer skins, the jury brought in yer .djct of not guilty, after having been out only five minutes. Tokeas is a
 trackwalker in the employ of the Copper River & Northwestern Rail road. Ernest Michaelson, charged with illegal possession of liquor and :an attempt to bribe an officer of the court, withdrew his plea of not guilty :and entered a plea of guilty. He was sentenced to a year in the peniten- diary on the bribery charge and fined
 :S250 on each of the four counts in the liquor case. In the case of U. s. WIS. Gordon Selmyr, the defendant was fined $50 and given a suspended sen- ,tence of 90 days. In the case of U. $. vs. Chris Johanson the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty af-
 ter deliberating 30 minutes. Frank Cunningham, indicted on six counts, charging violation of the dry law, changed his earlier plea of not guilty ito guilty, and at the request of his counsel the court deferred sentence

for time to permit Cunningham to arrange a few business affairs.

The plant of the Trinity Packing Company at Three Saints Bay, in the Kodiak district, was destroyed by fire recently, after having been closed down for the season. In addition to raging the main cannerr ilding the fire also consumed con a,5as of sal mon awaiting shipment D the States. The loss is estimated aL about s40,- 900, partially if Hot wholly covered by insurance. The plant will be re- built next spring.
 The Three Saints Bay cannery is one of the unique cannin goutfits in the Territory, says the Anchorage Times. It is owned in the States, but notwithstanding the fact that it is situated in an isolated area, it is not necessary to import labor from the States. There are natives in the yi- cinity who gather at the cannery camp at the opening of the season and who are capable through long years of service to perform all the work necessary to operate the plant. Last seasin the operating head of the company was the only outsider" at the camp.

The frantic father tore the clothing from the two and then plared them in the bark seat of their automobile and rushed them to the hospital, first making sure that the two younger girls were unharmed. They were not in the house when the explosion occurred.
 Although suffering terribly from her burns, Mrs. Savola wanted her husband to try to save their home, which by this time was envelqped. in flames, but he realized the serious ness of the condition sof the fire vic tins and made all possible haste to reach the hospital with them.
 The two-story log house of the Sa- volas, a model of construction and oRe of the most attractive farm houses in the district, representing an investment of upwards of $8,O0O, was completely burned, nothing remaining today but the cement basement and the chimney. No insurance was car- ried.

BOAT SCHEDULE CUT FOR
 WINTER; TRAINS CHANGE
Anchorage .Times.)

Beginning October IF. and continu- ing throughoutt he winter the Alaska railroad will operate it's passenger trains between aFirbanks and Seward on a new schedule. The change does not mean a curtailment of train ser vice, being merely encouragement of operations to conform to a new schedule which the Alaska Steamship Company and the Pacific Steamship company will inaugurate next month. There will continue to be one train each way every week, but instead of arriving at Anchorage from the north on Fridays the train will reach the city on Tuesdays southbound. and re- turn from Seward northbOund on Wednesdays, the hours of arrival and departure being the same as at pres ent.
 Instead of continuing it's weekly service throughout the early part of the winter, as in previous years, the Alaska Steamship Company will have only two boats on the Seattle Seward run, and the weekly sailing schedule will be maintained througph ojint arrangement with the Pacific Steam ship Company, which will operate one boat on the run, as in previous win ters.
 The change in the steamer schedule is explained in a bulletin issued by the Alaska Railroad, as follows:
 Effective October 6, 1881, and con- tinuing to and including March 15, 1882, the steamers Admiral Evans, Alameda and Northwestern will aIter- nately sail from Seattle each Tuesday
