Wood aro the names of the two would-be fire bugs, and both have been arrested. Yesterday the former hired a room in the Albemarle lodging house. Late at night it was discovered that he was lifting articles into his room by means of a rope. A man in the back yard fastened the articles to the rone, and Bringgold pulled them up to the sec ond story window. When discovered an attempt was made to capture the man hi the yard, but he made his escape. His partner was caught, how ever, and turned over to tho police. In his room were found two uve-gauon coal oil cans, one filled with oil, tho other con taining combustibles, saturated with coal oil. It was evident tho men's purpose was to fire the building and then make their escape. Had they not been interrupted they would most likely have accomplished their pur pose as a strong wind was blowing at tho time towards the business center of the town. This morning the pris oner was closeted with the district attorney Ridpath, mid detective Hogan for several hours. Tho result of the conference was kept a secret until late tlus afternoon, when the captain of the police arrested Bring gold's son-in-law, E. W. Wood. Then it was given out that Bringgold, while closeted with the two officers, made a confession implicating Wood in an at tempt to burn the town. Farther than this tho officers will make no dis closure. Both men have been held without bail. A (treat Railroad System. Special toTiiEASTOKiA'x.l Tacoma, March 7.

Northern Pacific Schemers. Special to Tiik astokiax. Tacoma, March 7. In an interview hero to-night President Oakes of the Northern Pacific emphatically denied that there was any truth in the rumor that the Northern Pacific was negoti ating for the control of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Nothing has been done towards securing control of tho Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern, and probably will not be at present, as the Northern Pa cific is not particularly anxious to se cure it. The Northern Pacific con templates building additional lines in Washington, but no definite arrange ments have been made. The Northern Pacific has made arrangements with the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. for a line of steamers between Tacoma and China, but intends to have a line of its own steamers in operation in tho near future.

Hilly bat Favorable for In these days when it is sojjeommoa -to lay out townsites and build cities on paper, the remark is often made that such a place is perfectly adapted for the site of a city. It is urged that the land is either level or gently slop ing, has no hills and is in every physi cal matter satisfactorily located. Arpid all this hope and confidence the essen tial point is left out, that is, its com mercial facilities. Yesterday a gentleman who has re cently been on an extended trip east, was expressing his views on Astoria. Said he: "All this talk about the lay of the land being against Astoria and that she would have been a big city if tho hills back of her were not there is foolishness." "These hills do not and will not re tard the town. If commerce and busi ness declare that there is to be a big city here it would be built even if on tho perpendicular side of a nUrT. It is remarkable how the real conformation of the land has been universally neg lected throughout the country. Com mercial facilities alone make the de cision." "Glance at Seattle, Tacoma and San Francisco. Taking their situations without consideration of their sur roundings and opportunities, they would never have been great centers. What is true of them is also very ap plicable to Astoria. We have not a level aero here above tide land, but we have a general position for an im mense traffic that no other city in the northwest possesses. Our lulls are knolls compared to those of San Fran cisco and many in Seattle." "When they are graded wo will have the most beautiful town on the coast, without any exception. After they are thus treated future citizens will wonder where we ever had difficulty. The money required to do tho grading will be a small per cent, of the valua tion to follow. Business will accomp lish anything and if business demands the demolition of these hills, with its powerful lever, money, it will dump them all into the bay inside of the sea wall that is soon to constructed." 'The idea that any adjacent point, just because it is comparatively level, ought to be tho location of the city, is I as weak an argument as to claim that Oakland could be the metropolis rath er than San Francisco." "Speaking of unfavorable sites, look at other cities. Chicago is built on a great marsh, Kansas City on innumer able hills, Duluth on the side of a bluff, and many others with greater obstacles. As soon as our system of cable lines i3 done and other improve ments are made the complaints of grumblers will be buried in the praise of what has been done." A PLUCKY GIRL. She Shoots a Negro Burglar ia Her Reel ChariiEstox, S. C, March 4. On Monday morning about 3 o'clock a burglar was killed in Samson county by Alice H. Kinney, 19 years old. Miss Kinney's father is dead and she lives alone with her mother on a farm. The two are the only persons who sleep in the farmhouse. On Sunday night Miss Kinney was aroused by the noise of some one in the adjoining room. She at once real ized that a burglar was in the house. Under her pillow was a revolver. The young woman took the pistol in her hand and concealed it under the quilt. . Then she lay as if asleep and when the burglar entered tho room he walked up to the bed, and, concluding that the young woman was sleeping soundly, began to look about the room. He wore a mask and carried a pistol in his hand. As he turned his head away from her she heard him mutter to himself, "She is purty, and 1 guess I'll hab to see her later." He went to a bureau and began to go through the drawers. Tho bureau was directly in front of the bed. When he turned his face Miss Kinney quietly raised in bed, took aim at the man's head and fired. Instantly the burglar whirled around and as he did so she again fired and he fell to the floor with a groan. With the smoking pistol in her hand she watched about five minutes, when he died. Then an alarm was given and a crowd gathered at the The burglar proved to be Sam Kerns a negro, who had given much trou ble. Will' WILL YOU cough whenSht loh's Cure will give immediate relief.
