MAN-HUNT STILL ON.
The Slayer of Constable Jeffrey
Not Yet Captured.
BUT ESCAPE «S IMPOSSIBLE.
The lad law Fair at Worth *Trmm

Prison at Moscow, Idaho.
Tarawa, Oct. t—The incasaant rain to
day has rendersd the search for the mur
derer of William Jeffrey extremely diffi
cult. and nothing definite was aceom
piiahed. Sheriff Matthews and bis posae
have walked more than twenty miles since
daylight. Mr. Mcgrath and his blood
hounds, with six deputies, have tramped
equally as far. The guards at every possi
ble point ol escape have been strength
ened. If the murderer gets away he wili
have to elude 10»i vigilant officers and
undergo great hardships. Ihe officers
believe he ta secreted in some
cabin not far from Wilkeson.
It is believed the criminal jumped from a
freight train into the bushes near Buckley
at I a. m. today, when officers inspected
the train, and then went south toward
Wilkeson. John Condon and others saw
a strange-acting man near ilkeson early
this morning. Several guards there also
•aw him, but none got a chance to halt
him. or. more likely, were atraid to Inter
cept him because of his shooting proclivi
ties. Mr. Condon threw bis dark iantern
npon the wanderer, who instantly dashed
Into the brush. Every one in that section
knowa of the hunt, rendering It lik*ly that
the murderer will soon starve uniesa he
■ecu res food by force.
All Pnyellup turned out to the funeral
of Jeffery, the murdered constable, which
occurred at 10 a. m. and was conducted by
several clergymen. The stores were closed,
the Presbyterian church was decorated
with Ivy and white flowers. The scene
was sad in the extreme, the widow and
mother of the dead man breaking dowu
with grief.
Frank McMnrray, the murderer's youth
ful companion, is still in the county jail,
but the officers rsfuse to allow him to be
■een.
The Northern Pacific agent at Burnett
beard eeven shots on tLe mountain aide
tonight. Every one In the coal raining
town who heard the shots believed the
deputies were having a tight with the
Jeffrey murderer.

—Military day, today, was not the aucceas
It was to have been had the weather been
clear. It rained nearly all day. All the
military men in town hoped tor a line
day and expected a big time, but thev
were doomed to disappointment. At 2 3>J
p. m. the members of the First regiment
assembled at tha armory of Company C
and made m short parade in a drizsiing
rain. The battalion v was In command of
Capt. J. J. Welaenberger, and was com
posed of Company B, Capt. Booth; Com*
r*ny K, Capt. Paraons; Companv 1), Capt.
ttaum; Company C, Lieut. Clark, and
Company O, Lieut llolleran. The visiting
members of Companies V and Aparaded
with Companies C and G. Tha battalion
was in heavy marching order, and in
spite of the tact that there was no music
to march to and the muddy condition of
the streets, they made a very fine appear
ance. The sham battle that was to have
taken place tonight has been postponed on
account of the rain. If the weather per
mits. it will taka place tomorrow evening,
with the help of the local companies of the
K. G. W. and the G. A. K., with a fine
display of fireworks.
A new feature was today Introduced in
the fair grounds. In the Indian depart
tuerH a band of Indians is to be seen play
ing sing gamble, the Indian game which
waa eitensively written up In the POST-
IsriuxiuESrsa last spring. It has been
for years one of the great features of the
hop-picking times in the Puyaliup valiey.
The game ie played with two pieces of
bone, one perfectly plain, the other with a
black stripe around it. The whole game
consists of one man guessing in which
band the other man holds the plain white
bone. Yesterday there were at different
times twenty or thirty Indiana in the
Indian department playing this game.
They squat down on the floor. arranged a
dozen or soon each side, and with short
t>iece* of wood pound the door or the loose
boards in the floor, sing their dirge-like
aongs, and occasionally break forth in wild
hurrahs over the good lack of their side.
Each aide has a leader, and there are some
men who era more noted for their skill or
their luck in the game than othera.

) »rk Tit s v«*sei waa the r.rat chartered
miff tar.ay iiuui this port lor the
A tiaotic coast, and she was likew:se the
first to make a similar voyage with wheat.
Much speculation ha* been tndu-ged in aa
to why this cereal ia be;ng shipped to New
York, where it can only be sold at a loae.
The reason can be attributed to the b:g
tre of September 22. wnen the Pacific
Cout elevatcr end 1U contents were
burned. The Reaper waa charterei by the
elevator company to take barley to New
York, and the grain with which ahe waa to
be loaded waa in etore at the elevator.
This was destroyed, and as theship's char
ter wooid not allow her to wait until
another cargo of barley is accumulated
she took a carro of wheat. It is probable
that there ia not another cargo of barley
in this country, as the ship Iroquois,
which has a similar charter to the Reaper,
will a.so load wheat for the Atlantic sea
board.
OLESXAS KfAMUAL ACAIS.
Tb* Doctor rkircs His Wlfo With la
fidellty and ttteals Two Children.
Wa«H;jr«To2i Cirr, Oct. 2.—The domestic
discord in the family of I>r. A. H. Glennan
had a vioient sequel early this morning,
when Arthur and Kennetb, the two oldest
children, were forcibly taken from their
sleeping apartments in the home ol
their mother by a party of un
known men, instirated, Mrs. Glennan
asserts, by her husband. Dr. and Mrs.
Glennan have not lived together lor about
three years. The doctor attempted to
secure possession of the children through
the courts, but failed. He is a surgeon in
the marine hospital service, and his wife
waa Mies Susie Rayuer, daughter of Joseph
Kenneth liayner, congressman from North
Carolina. Mrs. Glennan and her two sons
have been occupying room on the third
door of a boarding-house, and early
this morning the mother was wakened by
the breaking in of the door leading to her
sons' rooms. She screamed, but before
the occupants of the house were aroused
the children were seied and carried away.
Four men composed the party, and Mrs.
Olennan judged that one of them was her
husband.
Further developments put a new light
on the case, and make the affair assume
an entirely di fferent aspect from that
given by Mrs. Giennan. It is alleged in a
bill of divorce fiied today that Dr. G.ennan
last night found his wife in a compromis
ing position with a commercial traveler
named Silling, of Alexandria, Va., and that
it eas upon this discovery that he took the
children from her. Dr. Glennan, it is said
by his friends, has had his wife under his
•ye for some time past. Some time ago he
sued for divorce and named Surgeon Ma
grader. of the ra trine hospital service, as
co-respondent, the offense at the time
not being proved. Today, however, on the
evidence alleged to have been secured last
night. Dr. Glennan filed suit for divorce
against Mrs. Glennan. and named Silling
as co-respondent, alleging offenses at
Harper's Ferry and other places to the
plaintiffs knowledge, and also at the place
where h« says ho discovered his wife in
Billing's comnany last night.
POET TOWXSKND, Oct. 2 Dr. Glennan
had charge of the marine hospital her*
from 18fW to 1891, whan he was transferred
to the Southern quarantine station, off the
South Carolina coast. His wife instituted
proceedings for divorca a couple of years
ago, in Washington City, employing ex-
Attorney General Garland, and charged
the doctor with extreme cruelty. 11* filed
counter charges, alleging that ahe was
insane and incompetent to raise their four
children. Glennan has large property iu
terests in Jeflerson county.
On several occasions here, whil* suffer
ing with fits of jealousy, Mrs. Glennan at
tempted her husband's life, and on one
occasion she bred several shots at him in
the presence of a priest.
MILITIA IN A HTKEET ROW.
Seattle Soldiers Try to Kan an Electric
Car, hut Are Driven Off.
TACOMA, Oct, 2.—[Special.j—Conductor
By bee and Motorman Holmes, of the Ta
coma Railway and Motor Company, tried
tonight to take a street car load of Wash
ington state miiitia to the police station
and place them under arrest for interfer
ing with the operation of th« road. Su
perintendent Davis, of the road, gives this
version of the affair;
When the car reached I'acific avenue
and Ninth street seventy militiamen,
member* of the National Guard from Seat
tle, who were attending the Military day
celebration at the intersta'.e fair, boarded
it in a body. They took possession of tho
car and tried to run it. They would not
let the conductor stop to take other
passengers aboard. When ue rang for the
car to stop they ran* it ahead again. They
refused to pay car fare, saying that at Se
attle when in uniform that ther did not
ha?o to pay. Afler going about half
a mile toward the fair grounds
Motormau Holmes. seeing what
was up, stopped the car, and he and
liybe* decided to take the soldiers to the
po'.ice station. Ihey started the car down
hill. In the direction of the station, and
then the militiamen jumped of!. The car
was again started toward the fair, and the
soldiers again tried to l»oar>l it. This time
liyheearmed himself with a heavy wrought
iron rod, four feet long, used by motor
men to throw switches, and guarded the
rear platform. He told the soldiers when
they approached that he would knock the
brains out of any one of them w ho tried to
come aboard. He is a fearless fellow and,
by standing firm, kept the soldiers off and
le; t them in the street to *aik.

Lirri.* ROCE. Oct 2.—A terrible cyclone
•truck this city at 7:30 this evening and al
most devastated the business portion of
the city. people are known to
have been killed, and many were injured.
The mam portion of the business center,
bounded on the south by Railroad
street, on the north by the river
front, on west by Center street, and
on east by Commercial street, is practic
ally in rums, and the amount of damage
is incalculable. Property loss will proba
bly approximate $1,000,000. The cyclone
was accompanied by a terrific storm, and
the stocks in the business houses which
were unroofed, destroyed by water.
The storm struck the state psmtenti *ry,
which stands on a hill ia the western part
ol the city, with fearful force, destroying
the dining room, tearing down the stable
and shops, unroofing the main cell build
ing and demolishing the warden's offices.
Tha loss will be SOO,OOO. Several convicts
were seriously iujured, one of whom died
an hour afterward. A stampede took
place among the convicts, but Superin
tendent McConnelland his assistants soon
succeeded in quieting them. Fortunately
450 of the convicts had been taken to
the Sunn jside plantation some days ago.
At the insane asylum, a mile from the
city, SIOO,OOO damage was done. The roofs
of the main buildings were completely
demolished, and several wards caved in,
destroying everything inside. Several
insane patients made their escape, but
were captured. It is not known
how many inmates were killed or injured,
as many were supposed to be buried in the
ruins. The contusion is too great there to
learn anything tonight. Dr. Jacob In
grate, who came here several months ago
from Mobile, Ala, to accept a position
in the asylum, was killed.
The Capital and Richelieu hotels were
badly damaged. The streets are covered
with poles, wires and debris from the
wrecked buildings. Six electric motors
are pinioned on the track on
Main street with heavy rafters
and poles, and wiil be a total loss.
Down town lightning struck the Martin
block, corner of Spring and Second streets,
totally wrecking the third floor. A man
named Eaton was fatally injured there.
The Lighter building, corner of Cen
ter and Oak streets, was unrooted, and
a part of the fourth floor of the
Gleason hotel was blown away. At Main
and Second streets the tops of several
adjacent buildings lie piled up in an in
discriminate heap. The most damage,
however, was done to Markham and Com
merce streets. Nearly every building in
that district is unroofed, and many
are totally wrecked. The large three-story
building at Markham nnd Culbert streets,
occupied by the B. H. McCarthy Com
pany, is a total WtecX, as is also the two
story building on the opposite cor
ner, occupied by Max Elkins' saloon.
The third story of the old Dodge
house was blown down, and the several
doors under it were flooded with water
and filled with debris. The streets
are filled with tin roofs, electric
wires and other wreckage, and it will
be several days before the extent
of the damage can be accurately known.*
The large cotton warehouse at Second and
Crook streets was wrecked. All telegraphic
communication with outside points is
cut off.
Rescuing parties are busy searching for
the wounded, hut a list of casualties is un
obtainable. Among those known to have
been seriously, and probably fatally in
jured are: C. H. Monroe, member of
the Arkansas legislature; —. Eaton and
Sam Smith, a prominent cotton buyer.
Others are known to be more or less in
jured. Through the heroic services of
Mayor Hail and Chief of Police Frank
Mahon, the injured and helpless received
the'best of attention.
CONDENSED DISPATCHES.
Commanded George Eide, F. S. N., is en
route to San Francisco to take command
oi the Alert.
Gen. Wade Hampton, commissioner of
Pacific railroads, has returned to Wash
ington City from his Western trin a strong
advocate of letting the railroads do as they
please about paying their deals.
A cyclone struck the house of John Nel
son, seven miles south of Pawnee, Neb., at
9o'clock Monday night. The family, con
sisting of seven persons, was blown into
an adjoining held. A girl, to years old,
had a stck driven through her skull, and
cannot live. Five others were severely in
jured.
Patrick Morris, a rancher of Henicia.
Cal., was found dead near his dwelling
Tuesday. It appears that he fired his
barn and the sheds on the ranch, Monday
night, and meant to fire the house, and
that he then committed suicide. A mort
gage on ail his properly had just been
loreclosed, and Morris had nothing left.
The power and niiningdepartnient of the

Hart, th« Popu.tst nominee, Hardin was
uncompromising and he abso.ute.y re

deny that the proposition had t>een made,
but he emphatically made this statement:
"Under no circumstances will I with
draw from the ticket in favor of Air.
Hart."
Mr. Kaolin then explained his position,
lie said:
"The fight in the convention was against
Hart. It was not for me. The men who
supported mv candidacy did so became
they wanted to defeat Hart for the nom
ination, and I should be false to them if I
now atlowe I his name to be used instead
of mine. If any such proposition is made
I shall decline it peremptorily."
As to whether he would withdraw in
favor of anv other man Mr'. Hardin would
not say. It is. nevertheless, safe to pre

of accepting or rejecting the nomination
he would decline a* peremptorily as be

The old line Democrats universally re

THE CKJCKET ALMOST SI'NK

The steamer Cricket was nearly cap
sized at Everett last .Saturday morning by
the Sehome, carrying the I'OKT-I N r*i,n
oesckr excursion to Tacoma, and filled
half full of water. The story as told by
Capt. Harrington is as follows:
The two boats left Everett about the
same time, and Capt. Harrington, of the
Sehome, gained the right-of-wr.y. When
the two boats were nearly opposite each
other Capt. Uilmor<\ of the Crirket, called
to Capt. Bar ring ton to come on.TheSehonie
responded, and was rapidly overhauling
the Cricket, when the latter vessel
attempte I to cross the Sahome's bow,
Capt. Harrington saw that a collision was
imminent, and gave the signal to
stop. The boat slowed up, but the
guard rails bumped the Cricket,
nearly turning her over. The Cricket's
passengers and crew jumped out and were
taken in through the windows of the
Sehome. The pumps were set to work
and she was soon righted, her
passengers taken back, and she pro
ceeded on her way to this city.
The Cricket had on board about ha f a
doten passengers, all of whom were badly
frightened. The damage was slight.

WOMAN'S WORK I>i THE WOKLU.
Able Address at the Methodiat Woman's
.Ml«sionarv M««tia(.
The Columbia River branch of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of
the Methodiat Episcopal church opened
its second annual session at the First
Methodist Fadocopal church last evening
with devotional services and a brilliant
address by Rev. Charles E. Locke. D. P.,
of the Taylor street church in Portland.
The pulpit and railings had been beautified
bv the members of the local aociety
with evergreens, ferns, tlowers and
autumn leavfs. The handsome church
was comfortably tilled with delegates and
members of the church. Mrs. Kits M.
Walthew, president of the local society,
occupied a seat in the pulpit and presided,
assisted by Mrs. A. J. Hanson, of l'uyal
lup, the conterence secretary. Right aod
eft of these ladies on the pulpit were Rev.
W. T. F'ord, pastor of i»race church of ihia
city; Rev. W. A. Shanklin, pastor of the
First church, and Rev. Dr. C. E. Locke.
A well-rendered solo by Mrs. L. lludgin
to the organ accompaniment of Prof.
Sharpe, added much to the interest of the
services. Mr. Ford gave the prayer and
several hyiuni were sung by the eongrega
gation.
Dr. C. E. Lrirkc then made the address
of the evening, his text be.ng, "The Modern
Deborah." Woman, he said, was at once
the source and the cause of the present
Christianity. Si>e had ever been appreci
ative of the blessing* won through Christ
—a Deborah leadiug when men were
afraid of the battle. Much was heard to
day of woman's sphere. Her aptiere was
wherever her tastes and Capabilities led
her. He called woman a modern Deborah
because she had always been aggressive in
enterprises.
Three hundred and fifty avocations were
now occupied by her, against eight or ten
fifty years ago. Oen. Spinner employed
1,000 women in the treasury department,
and testified that they were more accurate
than men and had never bsen proven dis
honest. He instanced their journalistic
abilities, citing Frank J.tulu-Tfw y Ladiet'
Home Journal and about a dugen other
papers m which women in part or entirely
occupied the editorial chair.
Tnis modern Deborah had made great
progress in all intellectual lines. We
were told that her brains were less in
weight than that of man. "Is the smaller
siring of the violin less important than
tl:e larger?" asked he. How much did
man owe to the Ueorge Eiiots Margaret
Fuller*, Helen Hunt Jacksons, and the
Tahiheimers. Dr. Wheeler, ex-president
of Allegheny college, had recently stated
from his broad exi>erienc« of years as pres
ident of a co-educational institution that
"the mind power of the age was passing
over to women."
This modern Dfborah was a factor also
in society. Emerson said: ".Society is the
influence oi women." As mother and
wile she was the mightiest force in the
universe. The sphere of motherhood did
not interfere Willi her other spheres of
usefulness, and woman was yet to have a
place iu the state, for it was "an infamous
anachronism that she is not a citizen."
f<ne was emit.ei to eitxsnship because
legislators would not recognize her until
she was given the ballot. H* mstauced in
proof of this the statement of John iSright
the more legislation in favor of the work
inginan had i-een enacted m England in
the ten years Immediately succeeding l«w,
wtien he was given the franchise, than in
the 'ZM years immediately prior thereto.
Mie needed citizenship to supplement the
training in the Luiue.
lie thei dwelt at morn® length on wo
man'* rork in the church, the fa< t that
women made neroic ( hristians and that in
thfitnanxisl heathenism there was work
that could on>y be done by women for
women. He then pave fact# relative to
tne \N otnau's Foreign Missionary Society
of the Method.at hpiscopai church. It
was now >n its twenty-sixth year, it had
sent out 1-V) rnlssionar es, and last year
alone had rauei about s.'>*),<»>>. The Co

year tnia in! int branch ha<i ratted over
s.\<fcu, and from Us territory had sent out
,aat year ttoy mn< women as missionaries
to fore f o held*. Dr. Locke then c.os«d by
saying:
"We pray that the noble women of this
society may ail render such efficient
serr.ee that at last the Master wili say of
each, e bath done what she could.''
Mr*. A. J. Hanson, of I'uyailup. fol

block now stands. It wasorganued b?tk«
