Port Townsend, W. T., March 17. —The steamer Walla Walla of San Fi^ncisco, plying to Puget sound, was seized by customs officers for omitting proper entries of freight on the inward manifest. She took four barrels sup-posed to contain sauer kraut which were taken through to Tacoma with-out being entered on the customs rec-ord. The freight list at Tacoma indi-cated that the barrels came from San Francisco consigned to Ellenburg. Shortly afterward the barrels were seiz-ed by customs officers and found to contain opium valued at nearly $10,- 000. The barrels were carried through in shipments. The barrels were put aboard the steamer at Victoria and se-cretly taken through to Tacoma. Pen-alty for false entry is $1000. The steamer was enroute to Vancouver when she was seized to-day. Last evening the officials furnished $5000 bail for appearance Monday for trial. The of-fieials claim they can prove a conspira-cy and will cause the steamer a deal of trouble for bringing opium into the country. The ship officers disclaim all knowl-edge of the shipment of barrels. Ta-coma customs officers worked the case up, and think that many hundred thous-and dollars’ worth of opium has heen smuggled in thismanner. Mary's Not Crazy Vet. Baltimore, Md., March 18.—Dr. John Van Bibber, who attended Mary Anderson during her stay in Baltimore last week, emphatically denies the re-port that her mind is affected. ‘‘I am always very averse,” said he, •‘to saying anything about the symp-toms of my patients, as such matters are confidential but in the face of these absured reports about Miss Anderson I am glad to enter an emphatic denial. Miss Anderson is in an abnormal, ner-vous condition from overwork and in-somnia, and is suffering from nervous trouble that has given her great pain. She is not suffering from any mental ailment whatever, nor has she shown any symptoms of such trouble. She is weak and nervous and unable to stand the severe strain on her part in the play she is in this season, and it is better she should take an extended rest.” A Terrible Tragedy. Bonham, Tex., March 18.—Perhaps never in the history of Fannin county has occurred a more shockingly tragic accident than that just reported from Tulip, a little town on Red river six-teen miles north of here. It seems Mr. J. C. Sims, one of the largest plant-ers on the river is the unfortunate per-petratoi of the terrible accident. Mr. Sims’ daughter has been confinedto her bed for some time with fever and her friend Miss Lucy Webster had gone to spend the night with her and just af-ter daylight thismorning was sitting in the room when Mr. Sims came into the room and took his winchester from its rack preparatory to killing a squirrel. Not knowing that his son had filled the magazine with cartridges he commenc-to work the lever and snap the gun when it went off, the ball crashing through the brain of Miss Webster, entering the forehead and passing out the back of the head. The terrible ac-cident has shrouded the commmunity in sorrow. Chill Wants Europeans but no Chinese San Francisco, Cal., March 18.— Late advices state that the Chilian gov-eminent has issued a decree prohibit-ing the immigration of Chinese into the republic. The Chilian government has sent orders to its immigration agents in Europe authorizing them to give free passage to all who desire to emigrate to Chili, where on arrival they will receive board and lodging for fif-teen days. The Bolivian and Chilian governments are engaged in a dispute over the action taken by the latter in Antofastogo. The Chilian minister of foreign affairs, in reply to a protest from Bolivia, says: Chili considers as annexed to her territory all land south of parallel No. 23, that Chili ex-ercises determined jurisdiction over the rest of the coast, and while Chili entertains most friendly intentions to-ward Bolivia, it does not accept the condition of the coast to be such as claimed by Bolivia. Only 850,000 Short. Indianapolis, Ind., March 18.—Ex-perts appointed by the county commis-sioners to examine into the shortage of John E. Sullivan, the absconding county clerk, have found a shortage in trust funds of about $35,000. In ad-dition to this there is $15,000 secured by fraudulent representation from the county treasurer, making the aggregate stealings from the county $50,000. It is believed that this money was taken 1 to Canada. Houston, Tex., March 18.—Several times this morning it looked as though a riot could not be avoided. When the new street railway company began to drop their ties along congress street the gang in the employ of the old com-pany followed up and dropped each al-ternate tie Then began the tug of war to see which crowd would get the rails down first and the result appeared to be a stand-off. On one block are three rails, two laid so closely togother as to render it impossible to run a car over the track, The forces of the old company were marshaled under Alder-man Freund and those of the new were led by Alderman Underwood. The streets were so thronged with people that the workmen could hardly drive the spikes and more than once there came near being a collision between the forces which would resulted in bloodshed. Work was finally sotpped on the hostile ground by the courts, the city sueing out an injunction against the old company, and the old company enjoining the Boyd Bros. The injunc-tion suits will be heard by Judge Mas-terson at 4 o’clock to-morrow. His honor, Mayor Smith, has placed Col. Sinclair, Manager McGregor and Sup-erintendant Freund under arrest for in-terfering with the new company. Want Connection with Waco. Hamilton, Tex., March 18.—Our railroad eemmittee on correspondence has received several letter* from Brownwood, San Angelo and other points along the proposed western ex-tension of the Texas Grand Trunk rail-way. These all promise hearty co-epe-ration in the effort to induce the com-pany to build west lrom Waco. It is safe to say that a thorough organiz-ation will soon be perfected along the entire line from Waco to San Angelo and a strong, determed pull made for the road. The committee claims that the natural resources and advantage* of the country along the proposed line are so vastly superior to those of any other route contemplated that, with liberal offers of right of way and sub-sidy, Hamilton is certain to get the road. The First Chinese Woman. Dallas, Tex., March 17.—The ar-rival of a Chinese family, consisting of a man, woman and child, furnished the spectacle for a crowd ot curiosity-seekers to-day. This is the first time that a Chinese woman has been seen in Dallas. A Diamond Among the Marbles. Mrs. L. C. Abraham, then living on Euclid avenue, lost a diamond which was one of a pair of ear rings, the pair being valued at $1,000. The diamond wffen lost was incased in a gold ball. More than ten months passed, and, as there was no response to the advertise-ments, it was given up as lost. But strange things happen in this prosaic world, and Mrs. Abraham is again in possession of her diamond. It was re-turned to her last Friday, and it came about in this way. About the time the stone was lost a workman named John Scott happened to look into the gutter and there saw the small golden ball. He picked it up and the next day showed it to some of his fellow employes. He oven offered it as a gift to the workman at the next bench to him, but he said: “What do I want with the thing? It’s no good; only a brass plaything.” So Scott took it home and gave it to his children. The little ones had a bag of marbles, and they added the golden ball to the collection, rolling it about the floor. This sort of thing was kept up for ten months. One day last week a woman living in the neighborhood called on the Scott family and the youngsters were rolling the golden ball about the floor. The woman picked it up, examined it closely and said: “Why, there’s a crease right around the center of it.” The two women went to work on it until the gold ball was opened, and right in the center of it was a dazzling and precious gem. A consultation was held among the neighbors and Scott took the diamond down to Chafer & Becker’s and showed it to Mr. Becker, who advised him to ad-vertise it. Finally the advertisement was read by Mrs. Abraham. Her hus-band went down to see it, and could scarcely believe his eyes when he beheld the sparkling gem lost by his wife nearly a year ago. He gave the finder a reward of $50 and restored the missing earring to his wife.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Paper rrom VTooiI. The discovery of the value of wood in paper making is credited to Dr. H. H. Hill, of this city. About forty years ago the doctor visited the paper mill at Vas-salboro, and after looking over the 111a-cliinery suggested the feasibility of using wood, and asked why the manufacturers did not get a few bales of excelsior from Augusta, where it was made, and try the experiment of making paper from wood. “It can’t be done,” said the manufactur-ers. “Have not you as much gumption as the hornets, whose nests are made of wood paper?” asked the doctor. The re-suit of the conversation was a letter, some time later, from the firm’s whole-sale agents in Boston, asking what they were putting in their paper to make it so much better than it had been. It was the wood, then first used in this way.- • Kennebec (Me.) Journal.
