Sheriff Woolery and his guards returned from Walla Walla yesterday at uoon, having conveyed ten prisoners to the state penitentiary.

The officers left Seattle with the prisoners Sunday morning at 6 o'clock, and should have arrived at Walla Walla the same evening at 9 o'clock; but owing to a wreck were delayed hours. "Our train followed a passenger excursion out from Tacoma," said Mr. Woolery yesterday. "Whqu the excursion train reached Eureka Junction, forty miles from Walla Walla, the engine Jumped the track and tore along the rails, twisting and cutting them up like pipe and the engine after plowing an immense furrow in the alkali bank, which linen the track, came to a dead stop. None of the excursionists were injured.

The cause of the accident was a broken flange on one of the drivers of the engine, which allowed the ponderous wheels to slip off the rails to the ties. "While the traiumen, aided by a wrecking crew, were building a temporary track around the wrecx, we remained in the car and guarded our prisoners, none of whom made any attempt to escape. We arrived at Walla Walla at 4 o'clock Monday morniug." The sheriff reports that the penitentiary now eontaius over 400 prisoners and the institution la greatly overcrowded. Work on the new wing is progressing rapidly. It will contain eighty cells, which will accommodate about 200 more prisoners.

While the sheriff was in Walla Walla, Tuesday, three prisoners arrived at the penitentiary from Dayton, one from Port Townseud, and yesterday the party met an officer trom Tacoma en route to the peniteutiary with six more.

Deputy United States Marshal Brooks returned from the northern part of the state yesterday, where he was sent on a wild goose chase after a nest of couuterfeitera whose rendezvous was sed to be a cave near Whatcom. Oil October 9 Deputy United States Marshal Bigelow received a letter from an iudividual in Whatcom conveying the information that counterfeit quarters and half dollars were being manufactured by men who assumed the guise of prospectors, and who lived in the mountains.

The letter, which contained a silver quarter and a half dollar, said that the money was obtained at Whatcom from a prospector who claimed that he got the coin ia payment for some pro- Visions he had bartered to three miners who were up in the mountains, aud who lived In a cave and acted suspiciously. Deputy Marshal Brooks, taking it for granted that the money was couuterfeit, left for Snohomish, where he had been told one of the counterfeiters had gone to dispose of tome of his new-msde money. Thence the officer went to Haller City, stopplug at several intermediate points to take observations. At Haller City he had occasion to have the sample coins examined and though they were suspicious looking because of their newness, tliey were found to be genuine. Thus the counterfeit story was knocked in the head and the officer returned home.

Building Permits. THE CITY COUNCIL. Vigorous Protest Against Stewart Street RolL MEETING IN JOINT SESSION. Reference of the Assessment to a Other dinances Passed. The city council was called to meat in Joint convention last night, but it was found impossible to get a quorum until a late hour.

The object was the approval of Stewart Alton, Warren and Temperance street assessment rolls. There was a large delegation of property-owners on Stewart street present to protest against the assessment Their objection was that they had consented to the improvement of the street under the old charter, which established variation as the method of assessment, but the supremo court has decided that although the work was ordered under the old charter the assessment was a new proceeding and it must be made under the new charter. It therefore compels the property-owners far out to pay at the same rate as at the downtown end. The total cost of the street work is 130,974.35, of which the property-owners are liable to the amount of When a quorum was finally obtained there were present Aldermen Hall, Miller, Snyder, Bogardus, Sweeney, Korn, Pontius, Wilcox, Delegates Jones, Bagley, Barnes, Barton, Willis, Hart, Morford, Shipley, Hanford. Several written protests were read, and Aldorman Snyder moved that the assessment roil and protests be referred to tbe judiciary committee of both bouses.

Mr. Hanford thought if the question of the legality of the assessment were determined the other questions could be easily settled. It was decided to meet Thursday next and hear objections. A protest was alio read from W. H.

Shoudy and others against the assessment of Temperance street, and the matter was referred to the same committee. The roll for Alton street, amounting to $601.50, was read and referred to the joint street committee. The roll for Warren street, amounting 993, was read, and as no objection was raised, it was unanimously approved. The joint convention adjourned until next Wednesday night. Property-owuers on Stewart street have appointed a committee to appear before the council next Thursday to protest against the assessment on that street as now proposed, and to fight the in the courts if the council does not adjust the matter satisfactorily.

It consists of Messrs. J. R. Andrews, M. Bronson and 1).
