The trouble occurred in the old M. & X. saloon en Washington street, and was caused simpiy by Nelson's persistent ef- forts io create a disurbance.

Just about thin time B*an Johnson, who was formerly a bartender at the sa- loon. w.iik-u in. Nelson walked up to him. and commenced his bullying tactics Finally ho forced Johnson to take hold of him. Johnson put Nelson down on the floor, but finally let him up at the re- quest of Jack 8*an son, the bartender. Then Nelson suddenly took out a knife, and rushing at Saanson stabbed him in the breast. A crowd gathered around, and Nelson tried his kntfo on Anderson, but without doing any damage. Some of the men wanted Swanson to blow his police whistle, but Swanson still thought he couM .j net the knife wlelder. Nels>n was about to rush upon Swanson again when Ahrenstedt hit him on the nose with his umbrella. This turned Nelson's wrath upon Ahrenstedt. and he tried to slash him, but Ahrenstedt managed to elude him. A policeman was then called, and in the meantime Nelson threw away his knife and ran upstairs, where he was cap- tured by Officer Wickman. I he tnyiler Mumtlng.

HIE SEATTLE POST-IKTELLIGEXCER. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 25. 1896. POLES WILL STAND. City Council Repeals the Wire- Bnr?inff Ordinance. STREET RAILWAY FRANCHISE. Both Feel the Approach of Election?Street Improvement Bllla left Without Action* Notwithstanding the aprroach of elec- tion time, the city council braced itself to business iMt night. although there was now and then a Slight twitching In the de- liberative nerve* of the body, which rave on* or two of its actions a spasmodic ap- pearance, as. for example, in suide ily letting go the consideration of street im- provement on Occidental avenue. Main a trees, and First avenue south. In :he board of aldermen the bill for regulating the number of poles along the streets, al- ready parsed by the house, was passed, thus repealing the bill requiring the street car companies to bury their electric wires within ninet.v days. In point of fact, there has been for some time a tacit agreement between the companies and the council to this effect, and the street car people have be»-n vigorously carrying out the agreement. The \VesJ*-rn I'nion telegraph people have also fallen into line. The coun- il seemed to think It a wholesome pre<-aution to keep the wire-burying ordi- nance suspended over the heads of the companies for a time, but it is now re- pealed. The library bill which passed the board two weeks ago was put through in the house last night. The proceedings of each bouse will show other items of business. TIIK JOINT **>SIONT . Street Hallway Franchise Granted Street Improvement P««»tpon*-d. For some reason the council showed more nervousness ;n joint ses<!on than in either separate branch. The bid of the Seattle Cons didated Street Railway Company for Us Fifth avenue extension w-is granted, and :h**re definite action ended. The joint resolutions for the replanking of three of the most important streets in the city were taken up, but a motion to adjourn left them suspended in midair. As soon as Clerk Coryell had finished read- ing the minutes, he held up a big sealed envelope and said: "I have here a bid for a franchise to con- struct a street railway from Pine street along Fifth avenue north to the intersec- tion of De;»ot street. Fifth avenue and Wil- low street." Open it." Sriid President Daulton. The clerk, hiving first submitted a cer- tificate of publication of the call for bids, opened and real the only bid received. It was from the Seattle Consolidated Street Railway Company, M F. Backus, receiver, and offered sl'Kl for a fifty-year franchise for an electric railway along the prescribed route. It was accompanied by a certified check for $lO, and was promptly accepted by a viva voce vote, only one faint "No" being heard. The joint resolufions for planking Main street. First avenue south and Occidental avenue w*re taken up. but before consid- ering the necessary ordinance the council resolved to hear the estimates of City En- Kn.'er Thomson, which were as follows: Main street, from Railroad avenue to Fiftb avenue south, property owners' portion of assessment city's portion $925, total *5.175, First avenue south, from Washing- ton to Kir;g street, property owners' $1,730, city $*.25, .total $2,375: Occidental avenue, from esler way to Jackson street, prop- erty owners' $2,400, city *T>SO. total $2.»5®. City Engineer Thomson made a brief state- ment about the three streets, and answered several questions, stating among other things that wtiile March and April are usu- ally bad months far work, yet bad weather would n >t interfere so much with planking as with brick work. Miller thought it would be unwise to at- tempt to plank First avertue south, as it was soon to he torn up by the Great Northern, or. as he sa.d, by Mr. Hill, ana the fact that no one smiled showed 4hat the council has become converted to a be- lief in Mr. Hill's intention to go to work. Miller was in favor of the proposed work on the other streets. City Rngineer Thom- son made rather a droll statement that of course it would be possible fo sprinkle more ashes on Commercial, or First ave- nue south, and thus "go through on ashes," as ha 1 been done last winter. Compton thought that the <freet ought to be plank- ed on account of the heavy hauling which 4, .ad no other possible highway. Miller thought the other two streets had the same claim Anderson pleaded for Main street for the sake of the fir-» engines. But a motion to adjourn was put and carri 1 while Clerk Coryell waa still hald- Ing the three estimates in his hand. As soon as the house had resumed its sepa- ra-rt session, the clerk asked smilingly what was to be done with the papers. This precipitated an irregular discussion, for wstnout any motion before fh<>m various members began with one accord to make excuse for having agreed to an adjourn- ment. ea<-h speaking if the council woro still in joint session. James thought that Occidental avenue could be filled and roll- ed down Glbeson thought If this were done the people would be rich enoux'h by next summer to pave. K!stk-r pleadfnl for immediate work on Occidental avenue, and declared the city ought to have at leas: one street in the smith end of the city fitted to sustain heavy traffic. ROARD OF ALDF.IIMF.V.

Miller also thought the propo- sition a good one, and believed the w >rk could be done for even less money. But under the general plan of retrenchment. Compton moved to lay the matter on the table, and it was so ordered. I»vejoy stated that it had been reported that the Seattle Power Company had a proposition of some kind before the coun- cil for supplying the city with wat«r. but C'ise. for the fire and water committer, replied vigorously that there was nothing of the kind. A petition from various brokers asking that the city take some step with refer- ence to the collection of delinquent grade taxes was referred to the committee on finance, and on motion of Sweeney the corporation counsel was requested to fur- nish the board with all his findings and recommendations on the subject. The following other business was trans- acted* Ordinance providing for removal of elec- tric wire poles, and repealing previous ordinance: passed. Petitions of W. O.

HOUSE OF DELEGATES. Members Getting Heady to Welcome 'I ht-ir "uwcMsors. The members of the house of delegates worked hard last night to get the routine grist ready for their successors. He- ports of committees that have long been hanging fire were brought forward and disposed of. Their approaching displace- ment was only referred to once in connec- tion with some routine matter, and for the most part the house resembled a school room during the last days of a long term, in which the school boys, with minds full of holiday anticipations, see a joke in the regular events of school life. Chairman Crichton varied the usual formula. "If no objection, the chair will sign house bill No. ?by Interpolations of varied character, and Clerk Coryell oc- casionally allowed his voice to flow in monotonous cadence long after the nec- essity for his tuneful chant had passed. Ordinances were acted upon as follows: Prescribing the regulations under which the Seattle public library shall be opened; passed. Appropriating $175 for the claim of the Washington Iron Works against tire fund for repairs on an engine. No. 4. passed. Establishing the grade of East Colum- bia street: passed.

"The Colder Giant." a typical mining play,' was produced at Cord ray's theater last ntght by the Chase stock company, and judging from the hearty applause, tt ; was a decided success. It deals with min- ing affairs as they were tn the palmy days of the gold excitement in the West, and is lively er,r> :gh to suit any one The i story told is that of a p<K»r woman. Ethel I Wayne, who is !? nted down by a villain, Duncan who is determined to rain po«se**k>n of "The Golden Giant" | mine He tells her that her husband ha* ! deser'ed her She ieave* at once, but he i manages to g- ? the story in the r»*«pa- p»-r?». and afterwards wherever she jroe* he produce the newspaper amounts ant drives her * rth a#ratn Accident hrinir* her t»> the <"r«!ten Kun ramp, where her j husband's nsine J« Hti partner.

Alex has to rive up the mine, but in the last *ct, J;m Bixhy, a pal whom Lemoyne had not treated square, give the whole thin* away. There are many strong scenes. and none stronger than the scene between Alex and his best friend. Jack Mason, when, as Jack expresses It, they "pass in the checks of friendship." Mason proves him- self to be his N*st friend, and in the end he is the one who aids to restore both wife and mine to Alex. The cause of their quarrel is Alex' sister Bessie; she and Jack are in lore, and A!»x don't want h.s sister to marry a gambler. Charles Chase piayed the cool. calm, nonchalant gambler,to the life, and won j applause in the stronger scenes. He was seconded ably by George Hayes as Alex Fairfax, the "Golden Giant." Hettle Ber- nard Chase was the life and sunshine of the whole piece, just in her element as a gay. happy girl. Daniel McCture played and made an excellent villain. Ed Gardner was most acceptable as Jim Bixby, proving that he can act with life and vigor something beside comedy. His songs were heartily encored. Uttle Ed- die Gardner was splendid as Master Jack Fairfax. Aida Gardner did some good emotional acting as Ethel Fairfax, and the others were more than acceptable. "The Golden Giant" will be given tonight , for the last time. The city *a? yesterday treated to an "outside" performance by a company en- (Cayd by rhe Northwest Theatrical Asso- ciation to appear at the Seattle theater in the evening. This outside performance was merely the parade of the principal actors of the "Uncle Josh Spruceby" com- pany to drum up an audience with the aid of a very brassy bra?s band. The per- formers w*re in ooetume, but It needed a sitm to tell what th<"y were, for the char- j acters they represented in the parade were such as are seen along the water front everv day. The whole strength of the company seemed to be out on parage, an i 90 far as numbers went it was a strong company. The drumming up did not prove to be a success. It was a new method, so far as the habitues of the Seattle theater are concerned, and they either failed to "cat* h on" or were satisfied with the sight of the company for which no admission was charged. The performance began with a remarkably full orchestra, that played sounds representing the music of the barnyard, to the great Joy of the gal- leries. But in the thrilling scene where the old farmer has just discovered his erring daughter the second cornet slyly disappeared from his seat and appeared on the scene as one of the characters. The villain shoots him in the toe and he falls dead. Act third opened with the "grandest and most realistic scene ever produced on any stage." It was preluded by the "Miserere" and other choice sad strains by the full orchestra (none of its members just then being required on the stage) and softly dis- ci xs«-d a saw mill. A plank is pulled along the fare ot a revolving buzz saw, and the villain then goes into the office and enters this marvelous performance in a book. Then, of course, some one is strapped in front of the buzz saw, and is saved from being sawn in two Just in the nick of time. There were other thrilling scenes, such as shooting and so on, but the performance was altogether too incoherent to be more fully described. The Kimball comic opera organization will open In "Hendrlck Hudson, jr.. or the Idiscovery of Columbus," at the Seattle theater on Wednesday for three nignts. Sixty people are said to be in the com- j*any. which is headed by the always charming Corinne. The favorite little art- ist has new songs, new dances and new graces' Innumerable. A multitude of beau- tiful girls in a variety of handsome, strik- ing costume attend the action of the viva- cious plot. The organization contains a number of clever specialty performers, the most prominent of whom are Ben F. Grindell. Charles Fostelle, Lindsay Morri- son. Harry Dickenson, J. Henry Mack. Frank Hayden, Otto Craft, the Nicholas Sisters, Mabel and Lula. Lillian Knott, Fanny Decosta and Georgia Rush. Mendelssohn's "Elijah." It Is scarcely probable That any one w ill forget the performance of the oratorio "Elijah," to be given by Prof. Sharpe and a full orchestra with a chorus of 100 voices, in the First Methodist Episcopal church on Saturday evening. Tonight there will be a full rehearsal of the whole oratorio. If you don't smoke Sweet Momenta cigarettes you don't get the best. In Memory of E. 11. Ilayward. At a regular meeting of John A.
