mighty short space of time was re
quired to transact the business that
ANOTHER RAILROAD OFFICIAL.
PHILADELPHIA, March 25.—
The third high railroad official to
drop dead within a month is Samuel
C. Long, the general manager of
the Penna Railroad. The death oc
curred when Long rose from an of
fice table in his private train to go
to the observation car. He staggered
reached forward with his hands and
fell prone on the carpet of the car,
dead from heart disease. The man
was dead when his secretary reached
him and doctors summoned pro
nounced the cause as heart failure.
The trying negotiations witH' tho
brotherhoods are said to have been
too much of a strain for the rail
road manager.

came before it.
All the councilmen were present
to answer the roll call when Mayor
Moller called the meeting to order.
The minutes of the preceding meet
ing were approved as read.
There were no communications or
correspondence in the hands of the
clerk to be read and reports neither
from city officers nor from the com
mittees in charge of the city’s bus
iness.
Councilman M’Allister smiled aud
ibly when he reported the fire plant
in first class shape, doing his duty
manfully in this direction despite
the stereotyped formula which he
has to make use of.
Apparently the city police, city
finance and the other branches of
! our municipal adminstration are
, running on even keel and need no
special report.
Under the head of N'ew Business,
Councilman Rose suggested the de
I. W. \V. TRIAL
SEATTLE, March 26.—There
have been no developments in the
trial of Tracey, who is charged with
the responsibility for shooting the
victims of the Everett battle.
An interesting feature of this case
is, that although now on its 14th
day or so, there has not been one
word of evidence introduced by the
state to show that Tracy was in
any wray connected with the killing.
The cross examination of the
witnesses shows that the develop
ment of a strong prejudice amount
ing to hounding was deliberately
fomented by the Everett Commercial
Club and the testimony of the gov
ernment witnesses has gone to show
so far that the orginal violent acts
were committed long anterior-to the!
Verona affair by the open shop peo
pule in the Smokestack city.

sirability of the city books being
audited. The Mayor said it was al
ways customary for the old council
to order such an audit.
Councilman Ross said that in case
the present clerk was re-elected such
an audit would be unnecessary and
the costs saved the city. They had
seventeen days after an election to
decide the matter.
Councilman M'Allister was in
favor of an auditor being there and
then appointed. Burgh agreed
with Ross and that finished it, the
matter was put off and the Council
then adjourned.
