Hia act ing wa* not qa.te so consummate aa on tbe day of tbe trial, yet he kept up tne pretense of insanity aisd refused to comprehend tbe lustration* of tbe guard to take a «e*t un til t-e waa washed down into it. Then fol lowed the ioog file of leas notorioaa crimi nals, who were too weak in mind to simu late insanity and whose crimen were of too commonplace a nature to entitle tbcta to any great degree of public attention, sure runs roa k«6U>t. Harry Diamond, the burglar, wa* tbe first to receive sentence. "I want my seatea-e postponed. ao I can prove my innocence." said the prisoner. "Yon hare had a fair trial and the ver diet of the jury i« that yon are guilty of burglary," responded hia honor, "tne sent ence of tbe court, therefore, ia that you be confined In the penitentiary at Y.alla Waila for nine year* at hard labor."

Tbe bold highwayman sat mute and unresponsive ia hi* chair, and looked straight ahead, aa if oblivious to tbe mandate of the court, irneriff Cochrane stepped orer to him and lifted him to his feel, and motioned him towards tbe bar The prisoner turned with his back to the judge and commenced ar guing with tbe sheriff about a rum of money he claimed had been taken eway from him when he was lodged in jaiL ■seeing that the prisoner would sot par at tention, Judge Burke proceeded with' tbe sentence "John Welch." said he, "you hare been eonricted of assault with intent to mur der. You bare endeavored to make the court and jury believe that you arc in sane, but the jury did not think vou in sane. and neither do I. I further believe that you fully comprehend what! am now saying to you. notwithstanding yosr seeming abstraction. The sentence of the court is that you be confined in the peni tentiary at Walla Walla for the period of U year*, at hard labor." A simple motion of the sheriff was all that was required to intimate to Welch that he could sit down wben tbe sentence wa* concluded, which be did with such alacrity aa to show that the sentence of the court had exerted a salutory affect upon his understanding. HINUR OFMHDMB SFSTKK*'ED. John McGratb, William Hawthorne and Frank Conner were each given two year* In tile penitentiary to r receiving stolen fowds knowingly. A p!ea was set uj> by (awtborre'e attorney that the stolen property rewired by his client was only valued at |lO, and be sboold therefore have a light sentence, but the %court held him equally guilty with his accomplices. Richard Coulter, the dapper young man who was convicted oi burglarizing Bode' - tailoring establishment, insisted that he wa« as innocent as a child, and pleaded for mercy. The air of bravado he had worn daring his trial was gone, and he trembled likes leaf as he abjectly entreated the court to be lenient with him. He was given ■even years In the i«enifentiary. George Watson, a 16 rear-old boy, pleaded Kilty to burglary, and asked the court to lenieut with him. The judge sal a it was doubly unpleasant to pa»s -cnienee upon a youth. but it was the boy's own ac tions that had made it necessary that sen tencc should be imposed. He wonld make the sentence light, however, in the hope that the boy would mend his ways and try to lead an honest life after his release. The sentence was the minimum term al lowed by law, one vear Cbarles Parker, the boy who with the es caped liare Worley. stole IP**) worth of jewelry, money and other ratable* from Mrs. Aaok't museum la*t fall, was also let off with one year in the penitentiary be cause of his youth and prerlous good character.

"SHORTY" COLLINS ACvItITTKO. The tr'-al of C. B. Collins for sodomy was taken up at the tnoruing session. Judge R'lrk* having overruled the objection to evidence being introduced made bv the attorneys for the defendant late Friday afternoon. The trial coasumed nearly the whole day and was sickening in its dis gustine details Judge Burke instructed the jury that as the code provided no pun ishiaeut for the crime allegi*d to have been committed, and it would t>o useless to return a verdict finding the defendant guilty. They coald only return two ver dicts. not guilty or cuilty of simple assault. The jury after be ing out a few moments returned a verdict of acquittal. wa* not be cau-e Hie prosecution had failed to prove the jcuil! of the defendant beyond doubt, but bceaase it was folly to convict a man of a crime for which the law had provided no punishment, aud because it would be • travesty upon justice to find a man who ha«i committed so a crime (guilty of «im;-e as-anlt. The attorneys for Col lins, realising the strong feeling prevalent in the eonimuuity against hits. \ery widely asked the judge to make an order re-com mitting him to the county Jail for a few days.

CsiadUMß Dart* asd Bam Spmk of Its Provisions- From !>nnac« Slas^poiaL "Tbe Ef««tj of taking some action in regard to tbe proper storag* of oil bad be come so preseingly sppareat that aa ordi nance, which makes provl&ion for tbe proper disposal of combcstibiea, was in troduced at tbe Council meeting Friday sight. said Mr. D E. Dane. chairman of the Council rcmmittee oa &re and water yesterday, "The city sad to do either one of two things—g:> into tbe storage business itself rc others to do su. Tbe first method seemed to me unwise, for two rea son •: It would have been usurpation of the business rights of private individuals, and it would have added to the coat cf coal oil. IValers in oil, petroleum, etc.. natur ally desire to control their own busi ness, and 1 am quite certain that had aa attempt been made to Metrics unduJ) the privileges of one or two of them, notably the standard Ou Com pany, by tbe parage of an ordinance re quiring them to place their stores in the hands of the city, they would have with drawn their business from the citv. The business arrangements of the Standard and Eagle oil companies are now satisfactory to the public, and all that is necessary now is to require them to render their ware h oases as trw from danger of fire as poesi bie. The manager of the standard oil warehouse has told rue that he u entirely satisfied with the requirements of the pro posed ordinance, and that be will comply with them by constructing a safe bnildisg further from the harbor. "It will not be necessary for me to make any extended explanation of the provis ions of the ordinance, for a perusal of the sections will, I think, convince everyone of their reasonableness and wisdom." I'IORKA*E OP I.N.' R.VSCB. "The ordinance proposed by Councilman Durie seems to me to be the best for all parties that could have been suggested."' said Councilman Bums. "It was laid over for one week to ascer tain what the sentiment of the public is. I am satisfied it will be found unanimous in its favor for the reason that its require ments are reasonable and sensible, and there are no unusual provisions attai hed to It "As ss sbstract insurance proposition, a warehouse or barn for the storage of hay. is mach more dangerous to surrouuding property than aa oil warehouse. The basis of insurarik-e rates for a brick structure of the former kiad is 2JS per cent., and for a wooden building 350 per cent. The rate oa Drick hay warehouses is 3 per cent, and for a wooden building 6 per cent "Buildings adjacent to oit,store bouses made of brick have l 4 per cent, added to their basis,rate for a 10- foot exposure, and I>er cent for a wooden warehouse; and the additienal rate for a 10 foot exposure from a hay bam of brick is per cent, aud for a wooden bam is 1 2 per cent. Not withstanding these rates! consider that tbe danger from sn oil warehouse located on the water front is much greater than from a hay building, for the reason, well understood here, that in case of fire the burning oil running from the warehouse would spread out over the harbor and woald probably fire the whole water front. Every one remembers the time when Scbwabacher's oil warehouse, near the Yesler wharf, burned four or five years ago. The burning liquid ran down into the water and quickly spread around amongst the adjacent wharves. As it hap pened, the tide was very low and the quan tity of oil very small. or a widespread and disastrous conflagration must have ensued. "Now, if oil warehouses are moved back from the waterfront the calculations of in surance adjusters oa the relative risks from oil and hay warehouses will be without this unconsidered element of danger, and will be correct, Tbe rates of insurance will be comparatively Jow. and the risk of tire to adjoining buildings will be small. I think Councilman Durie's ordinauce is a wise one snd it should pass." LICENSED TO TEACH. Result of the Kegular Ousrterly Teachers* Examination. County ik:hool Superintendent I. P.
