WHERE HAs SOPHIA GOSE?-A few days
since an account was given in The STAR OF the
attempt of Sophia Beatty, wen-known IRE
Guenter of the section of the city known as the
division to drown herself in Rock creek; also,
of her rescue, and subsequent pretended con-
fession of being accessory to foul murder on ID
street and giving as a reason for her attempt az
self destruction that this crime had proved upon
her mind until she was driven TO it. This story,
il will be remembered, ended in smoke and her
being committed to the wOrkhOuse for ninety
daysby Judge Dawson. On Thursday last Sophia
took advantage of the absence of the keepers Of
the workhOuse, and made her escape, since
which time nothing has been seen OF her. H.
tendaDt Hodgson has made diigent search
everywhere about the premises, and made in
Ouiries about her old haunts, but nothing can be
learned of her whereabouts, and IL Is feared she
has carried out her determination of DROWN ng
herself as the Eastern branch is quite accessi-
BILE from the workhouse.

DISTRICT.
Republican meetings were held last night as
follows:
, 1873-08-21

Nor MUCH HuRr.-When the termi-
nus was located at Tacoma, many timid
persons, both friends and enemies, ina
gined that it would be the ruin, or at
least great setback to the prospects
of Seattle. Subsequent observation has
dispelled that delusion. In looking over
the city, it will be seen that there are
more elegant private residences in the
course of construction than ever before
at any one time. Two assessments
have been levied upon the stock the of
Gas Company and promptly paid, and
the works are under contract and in the
course of construction. Measures are in
a most encouraging state of progress for
organizing joint stock company for
the purpose of building a first class ho-
tel. More persons of capital and enter
prise are now making arrangements to
invest and engage in business in this
city than ever at any one time before.
The subscriptions to the railroad stock
are such as to afford the greatest hope
Of success. The long period of inactive
waiting for the Railroad is succeeded by
an active determination to improve our
own unrivalled advantages.
