Row Are Punished.
LENIENCY A SERIOUS FAULT.
The Inspectors Kake Iverjr Man Impli
cated 1B the Disgraceful Seen*
Water Front Notes.
The local United States Inspectors of steam
▼cell resterduy rendered a decision in the case
of the officers on the steamer Olympian, by
which the license of the first assistant engineer,
Henry Smith, has been revoked and the licenses
of Captain A. N. McA»psne, Mate J. Bums, Chief
Engineer H. C. Law so a end Second Assistant
Eng.neer F. W. Patterson have been suspended
for thirty days.
The decision reviews the facta established by
the testimony substantially as follows:
Shortly after the steamer left the harbor at
Victoria, the deck boys were using the fire
pump, and when they got tnrough wanted to
•hut it off One of them went on lite fir.: -room
p.atform and requested Charles J. Clarke, a
water-tender, to shut it off, but he for*ot to do
•o, and later one of the deck boys shut it off
himself, as ho had often donu before. On com
ing out he met Engineer Smith and second Mute
Otto KasUd, and reported having shut the puinp
off. Smith slapped his taca and used very
strong lansruage, and, when the deck boy went
away, Smith followed him and threw an iron
pump-handifi after hira as he was k'oing up the
stairs to the saloon deck. Meanwnile Rastad had
gone to the pilot-house and notified Captain
M< Alpine of the trouble. The captain went
down and met Smith in the saloon and ordered
him below, but Smith refused co go, and became
v ery insolent and abusive, telling the captain 110
had as much right there a he (the captain) ha 1.
1 he captain then told him to go to the chief en
gineer with his trouble and. on Smitn's refusal
to obev, started to report ib<* facts to the chief
himself. Smith followed him to the engine
room. and, it appears Chief Engineer Ltwson
did not seem disposed to exercisu his authority
as chief engineer over Smith and, alter more or
less controversy, one of the dee* boys appeared
on the seme. Smith shoved the captain aside
and struck the deck boy find, on being ordered
by the captain to stop, he replied that he would
serve him (the captain; the same way if he inter
fered, and irew back to strike him. Thereupon
the captain drew his revolver, having gone to
the pilot house for it when Smith first threat
ened to strike him. Smith then became quiet
snd went to his room.
After the boat left Port Townsend Smith
pulled Mate Burn*' n<>6e and otherwise assaulted
him, and Burns drew r a revolver and threatened
tosiioot him unlcs he desisted. Later on they
had another altercation, during which Bum*
displayed his revolver again.
After this peace whs restored again, but it ap
pears that all of the men in the engineer's de
partment hud their tb.ugs packed to lesve the
boat on her arrival in Seattle, and Patterson
had demanded his time before reaching the
wharf.
smith appears to have hnd the engineer's de
partment under his control, and when the cap
tan left him in the saloon he had, in a manner,
cha tre of tbe deck department also. Captain
Mi-Alpine's explanation that he did uot want
any trouble, but wanted to get the vessel aud
passe II KERN to Seattle, is not sufficient under the
circumstances, as a prompt exercise of his au
thority at that time would have quelled the dis
turbance. It further appears that Chief Engi
neer Lawson failed lu his duty in not exercising
his authority as chief engineer toward
quelling the disturbance, and shirked
the responsibility by detailing the .-ec'-nd
assistant engineer to perform that duty. Italso
appear* that Mate Burns renewed the disturb
ance after peace WHS restore ! by using strong lan
guage toward Smith under cover of a revolver,
and Patterson, second assistant engineer, left
his post and demanded his time while the ves
sel was under way, and the inspectors hold that
no officer has a right to demand his time until
the vessel is properly moored alongside the
wharf. First Assistant Engineer Smith is
guilty of a misbehavior in disobeying the cap
tain's orders and for insu'.ordination, which
nearly resulted in mutiny while the vessel was
under way.
The decision Is rendered under the authority
vested in the board of inspectors by section
4,450 of the Revised Statutes of the United
States, and is based on titie 52 of the same stat
utes, relating to the duties of licensed marine
officers.
The testimony in the case was not as contra
dictory as might have been expected, the only
material difference being that Smith claimed
Captain McAlpine snapped the revolver in his
face twice while he was quietly talking to Thief
Lawson. His testimony on this point was not
corroborated.
The principal witnesses in the case were Chief
I.awson, Captain McAlpine, Engineers Smith
and Patterson, John Murray aud Charles Clarke,
water tenders, John Best, a fireman, Mate Burns,
Customs Officer P. J. Kane, Second Mate Rastad,
William MeMahon, agent of the Seattle Transfer
Company, and Nelson Johnson and Andrew
Larson, deckhands.
Captain Bryant, inspector, said that while
Rastad had no license and could not be reached
by the inspectors, he is really responsible to a
greater extent than the captain, the chief or
first officer, for had he done his duty as second
officer wheu the row started, and quelled it in
stead of sneaking off to notify the captain.it
would have put an end to it.

A SEATTLE UIUL'S ROMANCE.
Career of the Young I.aily Who Wel-
comed Villard in 18K3
A former new-paper man of Seattle furnishes
the name of the young girl who delivered the
address of welcome to the Villard partv of
touri-ts in ISS3, the account of which, trans
lated from the Berlin Xatfonal Zeitung, appeared
in yesterday's POST-INTELLIGENCEB. It was
Miss Nellie Powell,a daughter of Professor L. J.
Powell, president of the Territorial university.
9ub»equent events in the young lady's career
form a romantic story aud furnish a titting
sequel to her tirst meeting with Mr. Viliard and
his family. Shortly after the return of the
party to the East Professor Poweli died and Mrs.
Powell with her son and two daughters went to
New York city to reside.
gome months after this Mrs. Villard wrote to
a reporter of the POST-INTELLIGENCEB, calling
attention to the young lady w:io had delivered
the speech of welcome and ask;d for her name
and address. At that time the paper was being
sent both to the home oi Henry Villard, in New
York, aud also to that of Mrs. Powell. Refer
ence to the subscription list disclosed the fact
that the two famaies were living in the metrop
olis within two block" of eat-h other. Th.' re
porter wrote Mrs. Villard, giving her the desired
inioimntion. She at once sought tne young
girl out and took her under her ehnperouage. A
strong friendship sprang up between Miss Pow
ell and M i*s Villard, aud together they pursued
their studies in music and German.
About three years ago Miss Powell returned
to the Pacific coast, and shortly afterward be
came the wile of Mr. Drumheller, a prominent
banker of Spokane Falls. Her sister is now the
wife oi Dr. K. G. Johnson, of this citv.
I.ITTI.K LEFT IN LIFE.
A Homeless, Friendless, Helpless, Mind
less Vagabond,
John Carton, a crazy tramp, was rescued from
the bav in an exhausted condition yesterday
morning, about 9:25 o'clock, by the train hands
on the Seattle, Lake Shore Eastern. As the
train approached the city, at a point about even
with the foot of Queen Anne town hill, some
oue noticed a man struggling jn the water near
the trestle. The train was stopped and after
considerable trouble the unfortunate was res
cued and brought to the city.
An officer took him to headquarters, where ha
was pluced in the engiue-rootn to dry out. His
condition was iar from being pood
and his appearance decidedly dilapi
dated. The effect oi the salt water
on his clothing wms \ery offensive.
From h ad to f ot he was soaking wet, and in
his struggle to reach shore had lost one of his
shines. The other still clung to his foot, but was
in the last stages of cohesion.
llis face was covered by a block board which
extended down to his chest, and from beneath
shsggy eyebrows dull, expressionless eyes
looked out His statements were vague and
conflicting. Some times he would say he was a
sailor and came hero on the English ship Gor
don w.th Captain Burns: then his mind would
wander, and he said he was from Port Gamble.
At-out his parents he was positive, and said that
he had no brothers or sifters, that his jiarents
were dead and that he had t! ated about in this
country ior fourteen years. In answer to a ques
tion about how he got ,u the water, he said:
••1 saw a deep, clear spring, and 1 wa« so
thirsty that I stooped down to drink. The water
was bitter. I fell into a deep hole and could n ■'t
eeiout. I was aimost worn out when they took
me out."

TTTE SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 30. ISM-
PERCENTAGE OF COST
Judge Jacobs Formulates au
Equitable Rule.
NO NEED OF CHARTER CHANGE.
Front- Footage to lie the Standard of
Assessment for Street Grades—How
It Will Be Applied.
The problem of street grade assessments which
has been such a source of vexation to the city
council and t > the property-owners seems at
length to be solved. The present method is to
essc.-s all property by the front iootto a distance
of 120 feet back from the proposed street. It was
found to be fair on some streets but iniquitous
when applied to otheis. This question has
taxed the ingenuity of the charter revision com
ic ttee, and it was at length resolvec to propose
an amendment to the charter, retaining th" sys
tem, but modi.ying it so that the property
should be proportioned, the iront thirty feet to
pay 40 per cent., the next thirty ieet to pay 30
per cent.; the next thirty feet 20 per cent., and
the most remote thirty feet 10 per cent.
Who originated this ingenious and apparently
most equitable scheme does not seem to be posi
tively known. It was first broached at a meet
ing oi a sub-committee and was ptobably evoived
from the many suggestions made at various
times.
Mr. C. B. Bagley had the honor of introducing
it as a formal proposition, but his riarht to credit
for paternity of the idea was challenged, al
though never publicly, and the friends of Al
derman Halt claim that he had a considerable
share in tno conception.
To Judge Jacobs, however, belongs the honor
of discovering that it is not inconsistent with
the present charter. If it should be accepted by
the city council, of which there seems little
doubt, the first practical application will prob
ably be made to Stewart street.
The text of the ordinauee which is to embody
the idea is as follows:
An ordinance to regulate and determine the
iront footage of each owner of a lor, block or
parcel of land in a local assessment district,
created under section seven (7; oi article eight
(S) of the freeholders charter.
Be it ordained by the city of Seattle as follows:
SECTION 1. Ii any of the suld property is
platted into blocks and ;ots and the end of tbe
lots front on the street and extend back to the
alley or center of the block, then the actual
front footage shall he the front footage for
which the owner or owners of said lot is or are
liable, and for which he or they
shall be assessed. if said lot consid
ered as a unit shall be owned by
different persons, the lines of whose duminiou
or ownership run parallel with the street to bo
improved, or other local improvement to be
niuue—then the front footage to be paid by each
of said owners shall be as follows: Tne lot
shall be divided into four equal parts cross
wise, the owner of the fourth actually fronting
on the street to be improved shall be a-scssed
for and pay 40 per cent, of said actual front foot
age: the owner of the next aljoin'.ng :ourth
shall be assessed for and pay 30 per cent,
of said actual front footage: the
owner of the next fourth shall be
assessed for and pay 2u per cent, of said actual

son# jointly or in common, he or they shall be
assessed for anil be iiuD.e to pay for each actual
foot of tne frontage of said lot. If there be sep
arate and distinct ownership of the part of said
lot liable to assessment as above for said local
improvement, then the proportion that each
shall pay shall be detenniued by the rule pre
scribed "in section one (1), of this ordinance,
The as-essment shall be a lien on all and every
part of said lot so far as the same is liable to us
se-sment, until tne same shall be fully raid.

improvement one hundred and twenty (120) feet,
anu the number of front feet or frontage tnat
theowtier or owners of t>aid strip of land shall
be asesssed for and liable for shali be the actual
front feet thereof, and assessment ot the same
shall be a lien on tne land until the same is
fully paid. If said strip or parcel of iand shall
be owned by two or more persons by separate
and distinct titles, then the portion that each
owner shall pay and the front footage that each

ment to the center line of said block, and t.he
owner or owners thereof shall be ii*s s>ed for
and liable for each actual foot ot said lrontage.
If thare be a separate und distinct ownership of
different parts thereof liable to assessment in
said district then the proportion that each sep
arata owner shail pay of said actual front foot
age shall be ascertained and determined by the
rule t rescribed by section one (1) of this ordi
nance.
sec. 5. If in any local improvement district
there shall be a narrow strip of iand of either
regular or irregulcr width immediately adjoin
ing the street to be improved or other improve
ments to be made, and no other street separates
said strip from the a ijoiniug land. Then, first,
if said adjoining land tie unplatted the improve
ment district shall extend out one hundred and

blocks and lots, then said improvement district
shall extend to the alley iu said bio k. Fourthly,
if said adjoining land is platted into lots only,
then to the midway line of said lot. lu. all of
which cases the rights and liabilities of the re
spective owners to assessment for the actual
front feet shall be ascertained and determined
by the rule prescribed in section one (1) oi this
ordinance
Sec. 6. The as<*>s*rne:it in all of the cases here
inbefore provided for shall !>; based on the act
ual front foot-iS'S in th« s*nieut district, but
the number of fr >nt feet that each owner oi
land iu said district shail pay for snail tie* as
certained aud determined as in this ordinance

••A Turkish Bath."
Everyone remembers pretty little Marie Heath,
who toek the town by storm when here in "O.e
Olson," and consequently will give her a rous
ing reception at the opera-house tonight, when
she will appear in a bright little play which wa«
written for her. It is called "A Turkish Balh,
and is iutei:s*ly funny. A rnatiuee tomorrow
aud the evening performance will conclude the
engagement. The Vancouver Pai'y Telegram of
the 21st says:
An audience that packed the Imperial in
every part turned out to hear the "Turkish
Bath" last night, aud to judge from the applause

The Cord ray Theater.
The weather was forbidding last night, and
many preferred a seat b»side the cosy h >me fire
to facing the rain and witnessing a theatrical
performance. Notwithstanding this, there was
a fair Gathering at Cordrav's to see the au htor
ium bill performed and "The Ranch King' en
acted in the theater. The company, for the
greater part, assumed their rolls with good
effect, and drew from the characters all that
could be expected. Messrs. Br\ ce and Everett,
in the aut.it; riurn, have an intensely amusing
act, which never fails to secure recall after re
call.
