It Was a Red Hot Fight, As predicted by Tur Brr yesterday morn- ing, the adjouraed caucus or primary eleo tion held in the Second ward last evening was a prodigiously interesting affair, but jt resuited in the ratification of the work of the first caucus held on Saturday evening. It was not intended to be a ratifica- tion meeting, however, and the ratify- ing was done by the same ones who did the work of the first caucus. It was the samo Bellinger vs anti-Bellinger fight, and the Bellingerites were again successful, The ballot box was open from 6 to 9 o'clock, and when tho votes were couuted the result was Bellinger 163, anti-Bellinger 101. The same delegates wore chosen as on Saturday night, and W, H, Knepher was elected ward com- mitteeman. The anti-Bellinger faction put up W. J, Lauterwassor for alderman and Goorge A. Holmes for ward committeeman, Hoimes \was scratched and ran behind his ticket. 1t was a red hot fight all the way through, but the “'ring' was most effoctually downed. Tho ola-timers were greatly outnumbered and the Bellinger deleration went in with- out any of the delegates on th= ticket voting, Tho registry books showed who was entitled to a vote and none but those registerea in the ward were allowed to deposit a bal- lot. A large numbor of ward workers from outside wards were on hand, however, and had & floger in the pie. The Waltors gang from the First ward was out in force, and P, Lacy, the high provost of the Third, wasa deeply interested spectator. There were half a dozen policemen on hand to pro- serve order and they did the best they coud, but the howling, balf-frenzied mob of two or three humdred succeedea 1n doing protty uearly they pleused. The better classof citizons deposited their votes and got out of the wwy as quickly as possible, but the bumwers and ward heelers held high carnival until the polls were =losed. But two open fights were noticed, one in the saloon adjoining tho polling place and the other in the line that was ranged aiong in front of the window. They wero of very short duration, and the crowd closed in be- foroany of the policemen could reach the scene. Tho result is anything but satistactory to the “ring," and it stated that they will try to got Lauterw: r a place on the citi- zon's’ ticket, in the hope of inaily mausging t0 knock out Bellinge The Council Blui losurance companys’ average annual income since organization has been $120,000.00.

The school board was dowa ou the bills for an adjourned meeting last eveniug, but it failed to meet in sufficient quantities to tran- sact business. Several of the members were present, but some of them got tired waiting and went home before the others arrived, and a quorum was not secured. Tho ques- tion of deciding on a site for the new school house in the west end was to have been decidea, but some of the members ars avowedly in favor of waiting until the new members are elected before holding another meeting to determine this important matter. It Is hinted by some of those who were present last evening that those who remained away did so for the ex- press purposs of preventing a quorum from assembling, in order that the work of the evening might be postvoned, Next Monday night will be election night, when the returns will be coming in, and a meeting then 1s not to be thought of. It is stated, however, that an attempt will be made to induce President Stewart to call a meeting about the middle of next week so that the site question may be decidea, if possible, before the schcol election is held on March 10, Itis very possible that the- attempt to secure a quorum at a called special meeting will prove as futile as it did 1ast night.

Take them altogether the people of Chili show the most enter- prise and seem the best adapted for re- publican government of any in South America, yet the common people are of a dark, revengeful nature, and few for- eigners find favor in their eyes. But with the dafk-eyed maidens of Chili 1t is different, and Yankee sailors always like to run into ““Valparaiser' fora cruise on shore, and a happy time they have gonerally. Ned Wilton landed from the brig Vesper, which had sprung a topmast and stove in her quarter in a storm in the South Pacific. It was a two weeks' job to refit, and as Ned wae a man to be trusted the “old man” gaye him a free run on shore. Ned wasn’t muchof a man to drink, and most of his time was spent in rambling about on the beauti- ful mountain slopes, getting acquainted with the dark-eyed beauties of the city and country, and enjoying himself generally. One day while explor- ing the country ten miles to the north and ecast of the city, he was attracted by the sound of voices loud 1n dispute, and then came a woman’s cry for help. Dashing through the bushes Ned came out in a littie open space where he suw a beautiful girl whom he had met at a fandango in Valparaiso, struggling in the grusp of o dark looking Chilian, who, if he was uot a viilain, ought to have had a quar- rel with his face. ‘“*See here, my man,”said Ned, *you'd better drop it or you may chauce to get yourself into trouble.” ‘““That advice might be as well ap- plied to yourself, senor,” replied the man with a dark savage frown. ‘‘If you will take my advice, given in the most friendly spirit, you will take your- self off and attend to any busibess of your own which vou may have on hand. Noman ever interfered with Manuel Godena who did not repent it.” “I’ll have to leave 1tto the young lady,” said Ned, quietly. “If she says that I'm in the way I'll walk off as you say, but not before.” **No, no!” cried the girl. leave me with that man.” “That’s all right,” smd Ned. ‘“You see the senora claims my help, Manuel Godena, and I’ll have to trouble you to get up and travel.” The man drew a knife and made a dash at him, Ned knocked it out of his hand and then and there gave him such a thrashing as he had never re- ceived in his life. Then stripping him of his weapon, he kicked him industri- ously down the slope, for it *‘riled”” him to have a man draw a knife. The Chilian at last took to his heels, and when once out of reach of Ned's No, 8 boot turned and shook his hand at him in a menacing manner. ‘“‘Hear me, Ajonericano,” he hissed. ‘I vow to the saints not to take rest or sleep until [ have revenge on you!” Ned answered by a contemptuous laugh, and whirling on his heel went back to the lady, who was trembling with fear. “Let me escort you safely from thie Eluce.” he said. *‘You are barely safe ere,” “Thanks, senor. That man is my cousin, and this morning he undertook to escort me to the house of my uncle, who has a cattle ranch over yonder. But when we reached this place he seized me and swore that ho would carry me to the haunt of the bandit Rosas and there keep me till I promised to marry him.” He is a land pirate,” said Ned, *‘and aeserves keel-hauling if ever & man daid ” *Do not “Ido not understand that, senor,” waid the girl with a merry smle. **But Ishall be your debtor forever if you will go with me to my uncle’s house.” “T'am quite at your serviee,” said Ned gallantly; “‘but Idon’t know the way you wish to go.” “"This way, senor.” She struck into a forest path, after a glance at the manly face of the Yan- kee sailor. That glance was enough, for it showed her that she was abso- lutely safe with him, no matter where she might choose to go. An hour’s ride brought them to an opening, and on the slope of the tablado before them they saw a fine ranch surrounded by buildings and corals for cattle. **This @ the place, Senor Americano,” she smd. “Will younot come to the house and let my uncle thank you?” “I don’t want any thanks for an act which no man could refuse to perform; but I will go in. Will you give me your name? Mine is Edward Wilton, and YI’ am second mate of the brig Ves- r. **And mine is Isola Mendez. I re- member you, senor, I danced with you at the fandango in Valparaiso last week,” They entered the house and were met bI' Senor Mendez, the uncle of Isola. He heard her etory and thanked the young American warmly for the_ part h? had performed. But Ned sel#ped m. ‘It annoys me to be thanked for so shight u service,” said Ned. ‘*‘Please do not say anything more about it.” “I will try and thank you in some other way, senor,” said the ranchero, warmly. ‘Now you must make a stay with me, if your husiness will allow it, and [ will try to make it pleasant for you.” I have a week of liberty on shore,” said Ned, “‘aud then I must be off. I accept your invitation with pleasure, senor.,’ Three or four days passed pleasantly, the ranchero doing his best to invent new ures for the young American, Isola was a pleasant companion, and Ned was very socry when the time drew near for him to leave, The last day of his stay the two rode outamoug the foothills, and it was plain to see that they were very deeply in love. As they halted for 8 moment in a breezy canyon a dozen horsemen suddenly surronnded them. Nud made a gallant fight, and shot one of his assailants and mortally wounded another before he was over- powered. In the leader of the moun- 5nln bandits he recognized Manual Go- ena. “I told you that I would not rest until I had revenge, accursed Americano,” he hissed. *‘Now, Isola—" But the girl, giving her horse the rein, broke suddenly through the ranks of the men who surrounded ber, for they had not taken the trouble tosecure her, and set off abnmad gallop, closely pursued by four Grfive of the bandittt, But there was not a man in Chili who cauld ride with fsola Mendez, and as they passed out df Kight all could see that she was gaining rapidly and was likely to escape. A" cry of rage burst from the lips of G8dana. **Now. 10,000 curses on the girl!” he cried. “I meant that she should wit- ness my punishmefit of her Yankee lover; but at least we haye him sccure. Place him againstthe rock there, with his hands and feet bound. Make him fast, s0 that he cannet fall down.” The men obeyed,” and Godena dis- mounted with a” pistol in hand. Ned, held in his pluce by his bonds, 1ooking him boldly 1 the face. Advancing a puce the miscreantaimed at him,chang- ing his aim from time to time to dis- tress the prisoner. But Ned did not give the slightest sign of fear. At last the pistol exploded and the ball tore through the fleshy part of his shoulder. “One!” said Godena, producing an- other r»mn‘.. “I am going to hit you on the otherside.” Again he fired, and the other shoul- der was torn by the bull, “You black-hearted hound!” cried Ned, “if you think to wring a singlo cry from me you are mistaken. Go on, savage, compiete your bloody work.’® Godena, with the grin of a fiend, took two other pistols from the hands of one of the men. Again he fired, intending young sailor, to piorce the arm of the but this time he missed. “Poor practice,” said Ned. ‘“ry again, my dear fellow.” The fourth pistol cracked, and Ned ave a start and shiver, for his lett arm had been pierced. Godena was very angry, for in spite of the torture. he had not been able to wring a groan from the gallant young man. Reloading his pis- tols carefully he stopped close to his prisoner, and again and again touched him with the muzzle of the cocked pis- tols over the heart, upon the forehead, in every vitl part, bus he did not flinch, “Why don’t you end it, cowardly dog?” sried Ned. “T wiil end it,” replied Godena, step- ping back a single pace. **Thus Man- uel Godena avenges himself.” He raised the pistoi in his right hand to a level with the heart of the pris- oner, and was about to pull the trigger, when a rifle cracked on the mountain side above them and Manuel Godena, shot through the heart, fell upon his face, dead. At the same time a_score of stockmen and rancheros chased down the canyon, and the bandits turned in flight. pursued by the herd riders, led by Senor Mendez. Then Ned fainted from loss of blood, and when he came back to life’his bonds had been removed and he lay upon the green sod, his head glllowed upon the knee of Isola Men- ez, Do not move,” she said softly. ‘Yo te amo!” (I love you). Ned Wilton recovered from his wounds, but not soon enough to sail in the Vesper. Indeed, he never left Chili, and is now a ranchero, and the name of his wife was once Isola Mendez. ———— THE WORD CHINOOK. Its True Origin and What It Means as Applied ro Winds. Perhaps no one knows the meaning of the word *‘Chinook,"” save that it was the name of a small tribe of Indians, now extinct, who inhabited the north shore of the Columbia river at andnear 1ts mouth, of whom Concomly was chief when John Jucob Astor ‘established his fur trading pust at Astoria in 1808, As applied to wind, says a writer in the Portland - Oregonian, the word **Chinook” was local and had its origin at Astoria long before the inland em- pire was known to any but the adven- turous trapper. Chinook village was at Chinook point about seven miles northwest of Astoria. The northwest summer wind which prevailsall along the North Pacific coast during the sum- mer months, falls upon Astoria in a di- rect line from Chinook point, hence the Hudson Bay people at Astoria, and into whose hands Astoria had fallen, grew into the habit of calling the cool sum- mer wind from the northwest a “Chi- nopk wind,” simply because it came di- rectly from Chinook Point. Chinook was at one time an important place to Astoria, a8 McDougall, her head man, married the Chinook priucess, the daughter of the cunning o‘d Concomly. Later on the Hudson Bay company es- tablished a trading post at Vancouver, now in Clark county, Washington, and they called the cool summer wind a Chinooker, having learned it in their intercourse with the Astorians. "This is the correct origin of the word as applied to the wind. I have it direct from Mnjor Birnie, the ‘‘old Hudson Bay man,” who lived at Astoria eighty years ago and who afterwards removed to Cathlamet, where he died. So the real Chinook wind is the cool northwest summer wind, and not the warm south wind that sometimes, and often in winter, rolls up from the south, and, taking the northeasterly course of the great Columbia valley, sweeps with its warm breath the snow from the boundless plains of the inland empire and breaks up the icy fetters of her riv- ers. So ‘'Chinook wind” has become a misnomer. But there is no more harm in calling the warm south winter winds that sweep the snow from the fields of eastern Ovre- gon by this nume than thore is in call- ing wh'te black—nor is there any more sense in one than in the other, but it sounds very absurd to one familiar with its true meaning. e LOCKED IN A MADHOUSE, 38 A Sane Man Kept Behind Bars for a Quarier of’a Century. Homer Brown wasbrought before the, probate court today and examined upon’ a charge of insanity preferred by his brother Watson, a farmer,says a Seattle dispatch to the New' York World. He told a remarkable story, to the effect that he had passed’ twenty-two years in an insane asylum,, though perfectly sane. Jar Soon after he wag graduated from col- lege he bufnn the practice of law. He became wild and went on sprees, and was guilty of other’ escapades. His family was very religious, One day Horace Brown catight him bmokhlfg [ cigar and attemp! to thrash him, Homwer turned on Horace and whipped him budl{‘. Later, out of revenge, his brothers had him placed in an insane asylam near Syracuse, N, Y., where he remained two years, Subsequently he was removed to Minnesota, where he was kopt twenty years in an insane e lum. All the commitments were made without his knowledge and without his appearing in court, on depositions by his relatives. This, he says, is the first oceasion he has ever had todefend him- self from the charge of insanity. He answered all questions so clearly that he was pronounced by the medical expert and the jury sane,and great doubt is entertained whether he ever was insane, It is rumored that rela- tives kept Homer Brown in confine- ment in order to gel possessiov of his property. He has been so long contined that ho cannot remember what was due him when he was incarcerated. THIS BEATS MONTE CRISIO. Life on Vanderbilt's Yacht a Dream of Blies. LIKE BOUDOIRS AT VERSAILLES. Kloating O'er the Equator in the Ice Cooled Roc of a Two Mil- llon Dollar Ocean Palace. On Board the Alvs. In the finest yacht in the world, the Alva, Willie K. Vanderbilt, his wife and three children, Consueio, Willie K. jr., and Sterling H. and two guests, started three days ago from New York harbor for a six month’s cruise in the Mediteranean. What does six months on the Alva mean? If the Windsor hotel were suddenly transformed into a huge vessel with the power to speed fifteen knots an hour, and was moved from its place on Fifth avenue to the bosom of the ocean, the people in it would guin some ffea of what living in the Alva means, says the New York Journal. The Alva has been described as an ocean palace, ano the description is a true one. Lighted from stem to stern with electricity, fitted with bathrooms, electric bells, smoking-room, library, drawing-room, achef thatis unequal led in the country —life on board is a beau- tiful dream, And there will be no steady diet of salt moat there. Two fine Jersey cows, who, since their infancy have saiied the ocean, have padded stalls on the for- ward part of the vessel, and a con stant supply of fresh milk is guarantesd. Next to the cows is a cage, 12x20 feet, in which four sheep were stored. These will be transformed into mutton before the trip is over. In unother cage, as large as that occupied by the sheep, were forty Leghorn chickens, who will keep the pantry well supplied with eggs. The fivst step to be made by the Alva will be at Maderia, which will be reached in all pro bability before the end of the month. Lisbon will be the next port touched at. Here the party will make a stay of ten days or two weeks, as Mr. Vanderbilt is very anx- 10us to study the habits of the Portu- guese. Gibraltar will next be visited, and then variousSpanish ports, which will be decided upon at the time, will be stopped at. A prolonged stay will be made at Nice and after that the yacht will cruise slowly through the Mediter- ranean until the latter part of July when her prows will be turned home- ward, This is the plan in brief. but supple- mented with the glorious furnishings of the Alva,the lavish hospitality of her owner, the gorgeous mode of living on board, it becomes a veritable fairy land existence. Not only isthe Alva the costliest, but she is also the largest pleasure craft afloat. She cost over $1,000,000 to built and decorate her, and she contains avother million’s worth of books, un- breakable pieces of bric-a-brac, tapes- tries, hangings and silverware. Like the bif ocean craft that she is, the Alva’s sides are painted in good sea-going black, the only ornament being a faint gold band which gird- dles the craft. The Alva’s over-all length is 285 feet and her water line length is 252 feet. 'Thisleaves an over- haug of thirty-three feet, which is divided between the clean-cut, grace- fu l clipper bow and the tapering ex- tended stern. Beginning with the bow below decks, the first place the visitor strikes, is the sailors’ quarters #in the forecastle. When it is taken iuto consideration the fact that the regular working crew of this craft is composed of fifty-five men and two stewardesses, the necessity of considerable sleeping room is appar- ent. In the forecastle, ranged on three sides of the room are tiers of berths three high,to the number of forty. Here the four quartermasters, the six- teen able-bodied seamen, the eight fire- men, three oilers, eight assistaut stew- ards and two mess boys sleep. Directly alt of the staterooms of the owner, and well into the stern of the craft, are the quarters of the officers. These are Captain Henry Morrison, fo merly of the American line, Chief Of cer Cushing, Second Officer John M donula, Boatswains Lynch and Jink’ Chief Engineer Hand and his two assist ants, Chief Steward Burtletv and Elec- triclan Stagge. On the upper deck forward the first apartment is a spacious smoking room, olegantly finished in mahogany and with mahogany settees upholstered in embossed leather. An extensive table of the same materialis fixed in the cen- ter of the room,and in deftly made lockers with silver mountings are kept every brand ol cigar, cigarette and pipe and tobacco for the convenience of the guests. Most of the cigars are wrapped in silver leaf to protect them from the saturating influence of the salt air and preserve their flayor. ‘Within convenient reach of every settee is an electric button which, on being pressed, will summon a uniformed steward, whose duty is to furnish the uest with any manner of liquid re- reshment, from a champagne cocktail or cooling mint julep to u glass of smoking hot whiskey and water. A short staircase leads from this pleasant room below to a perfect laby- rinth of artfully arranged apartments which, although arranged so as to util- ize every inch of space, do not impress anyone = with idea that they are cramped. Directly beneath the smoking-room is the children's nursery or playground. Boft, luxurious rpets cover the floor, and beyond the lines of seats, which extend” around the sides of the room, there is little or no furniture, Here the governesses of the children. instruct them in their daily lessons, and here also they receive thoir meals, as it is not the correct thing to allow chil- dren to dine with their parents among the gilded swells of New York, Tiny halls lead from the nursery to the sixteen state rooms which are gen- erally given over to the guests. These rooms are uzlike tne average ileephng apartment on board ship as they possi- by can bo. Tnstead of the narrow, un- comfortable berth, each room has its bed in oak or cherry, its bureau, dress- ing case, wardrobes, Scotch marble ba- sins and runnlus water. Tapestries that represent a dozen fortunes orna- ment these rooms, while rich carpets a0 rugs are strewn about in luxurious confusion. A peculiar feature of each sleeping apartment isa cleverly arranged batl room under the floor. .

Instead of a bed, each room has a berth built about four feet from the floor. Here thechild is placed at night by the nurse, whose couch is directly beneath the child’s berth. Each of the Vanderbilt chil- dren lias a nurse, whose sole duty is to look after the little one’s wants, Aft of the state-rooms and nursery are the dining-room and pantry, Countless little closets for linen, silver- ware, fishing tackle, shotguns, rifles, revolvers and harpoons open off the pantry.

Over the pantry is the kitchen, and the rooms are so arranged that no smell of the cookery reaches the din- ing-room. 'li‘he dining room, the most spacious apartment on the yacht. is fit for a pal- ace. It is elaborately finished in white and gold. with furniture of the same delicate tint. Rich carpets of eastern make cover the flooring, and at night artfully arranged electric Lights shed a beautiful radiance about the apurtment. Tapestries and embroidered hang- ings and growing plants, placed in small recesses in the sides, add to the richness of the apartment. The silver and cut-glass ware used in this rgom cost a prince’s ransom. From the dining room a long low passage leads aft to the library, which is also the music room. In this apart- ment are 6,000 books, on every imagin- able subject. There is also a piano, harp, organ, violin and a dozen other musical instruments, so that time will not hang heavily at any time during the voyage. This trip, which will last about eight months, will cost Mr. Vanderbilt abovt #12,000 for running the yacht alone.
