! Respectfully, J.P.
| There were more papers discovered in the
possession of the Crank Moulton," but of
quite different nature, showing how the
Don had exercised his powers of winning the
affections of the weaker sex; these letters
were from the eldest
| SISTER OF THE GIRL,
showing that he had made an arrangement
with her to elope the night after his marriage
with the younger sister.
The elder girl persuaded him to the avowal
that his marriage with her young sister, from
unforeseen circumstances, would have to be
postponed for three weeks. She wrote him a
note, and the following is about the sub
stance
Dear Ed-For God sake avoid the marriage
| with my sister it would break my heart. If
| Dothlng else, leave both, and let us suffer
together but if you conclude to fulfill your
promise to one we will go to Carrollton to-
morrow. Answer me tonight put your note
under the mat IN the passage-way, in front of
the parlor. Yours, devotedly,
Another love note was sent by the eldest
sister, with the following verses, which she
had clipped from some paper, which shows
how deeply her affections were conferred in
this fellow
When you see me silent sitting.
ana my thoughts wandering seem,
10 not speak, but kiss me softly,
10 arouse me from my dream.
When life's sorrows press upon me-
Fold me closely to your breast
And with kisses, warm love kisses,
Soothe my weary heart to rest.
THE SUFFERING SISTERS
are surely to be pitied-both betrayed by the
man in whom they had placed their every
love and affection, and both heartlesslv de-
serted In the very hour of their happiest
hopes. And yet it is sad commentary upon
sisterly affection that the woman of eighteen
years should have assisted qeatiMon.me du
monde in the completion of her young sisters
ruin.
Thus ends one of those social scandals
which so often startle whole community

JUDGE LEWIS IN WALLA WALRA.-In
view of the assaults upon the character
of our new Chief Justice. soon to be-
come our fellow townsmen, it is grati-
ying to give place to such home en-
dorsements as the following which we
copy from the Spirit ofthe Vest:
| We cheerflllly give space to the reso-
lutions adopted by the Legal fraternity.
upon theloccasion of Judge Lewis pro
motion to the Chief Justiceship. During
our residence in this Judicial District
We have carefully watched the course of
Judge Lewis, both on and of the bench.
and the general result is very fattering
to him as jurist and as citizen. His
decisions. SO far as We are capable OF
judging. have been made with impair
tial promptness and. We believe, they
have all safely passed the ordeal of the
Supreme Court, thus practically dem
onstrating their firm legal foundation.
In all public enterprises he has always
been among the formost. lending to
them the full measure of his vim, aud
ability. His fearless, outspoken man
ner has brough. him the enmity of some
but upon the whole he has earned from
the majority Of our people the need of
praise. "Well done, good and faithful
servant"
Now on this, the 18th day of March.
A. D., 1875, the business of the term

asked that the same be entered uron

ordered. which proceedings and resolu-
tions are as follows. to wit:

that the site is intended for new bank

that money is now profitably employed
by parties paying IS and "a per cent.

banking facilities which would reduce
the present rates of interest, would
greatly tend to develop the natural re-
sources of the country, which offer
splendid inducements to capital and

Considerable numbers of em,erants are
arriving in this city by every steamer
connecting with the san Francisco
steamers. and it is well known that our
town is infested by gang of petty gam
blers, who are on the constant ioosout
for such customers, to swindle them
out Of their money by various subtle

graceful to our town and not compli-

measures are not taken to suppress
these practices or at least warn strang-
ers of their danger.

Terrible Disaster-.-AppaHing
Loss of Life. %

Brief particulars of terrible disaster
in the bay Of Seattle come from that
town. As nearly as we can learn the
Fanny Morgan PhelpsDramaticT Troupe,
which had been playing in Seattle, had
an engagement in Port Madison for
Wednesday evening. and chartered the
stsamer Ruby to carry thither them and
their effects. About two o'clock that
afternoon they started. running nearly
over to Freeport before attempting to
cross the Sound to Port Madison. The
storm of that day was the severest of
the season, and at that hour in the af-
ternoon was most fearful in its violence.
Persons on shore. anticipating danger.
were watching the Ruby, and they re-
port that while opposite Seattle and two
or three miles distant, surrounded by a
sea of awful roughness, three toots of
the steamers whistle were given and
that, moment after, she sank beneath
the wave. No help was possible, and
all must have persisted. Of the crew,
the dramatic company and passengers
there were seventeen persons on board
at the time. The Ruby was propeller
of 25 tons measurement, and hitherto
supposed to be staunch and seaworthy.
Some accident may have occurred to
her machinery, but of that we shall
probably never know.
To those acquainted in this section.it
is not necessary to say that the above
startling news is the invention of the
enterprising editor of the Tacoma 7ri-
bune. In fact. no casualty of any des-
Grip ion, from wind or storm, ever oc-
Cured in the harbor of Seattle, except
in the Imagination of the same inven>
tive genius. 1t is true that on the day
mentioned the most fearful storm ever
witnessed in these parts was raging;
thai in the midst of the storm the little
steamer Ruby left its wharf in this city
with the Phelps Troupe on board, bound
for Port Madison; that the steamer
crossed over the bay 10 near Freeport
before attempting the open channel
leading to Tacoma; that when outside
of the bay, and hear Eagle harbor, about
eight miles from Seattle, the steamer
blew its whistle twice and disappeared
around the point into Port Madison.
where boat. passengers and crew were
all safely landed. Four truths to one
lie is far better than an average with the
Tribune in mentioning any matter con
nected with Seattle and its harbor. -
Most of IFS articles in that connection
have not even one redeeming fact. 1t
is incomprehensibie how SO amiable a
man as Bro. prosch could allow his spite
to wards Seattle to lead him, even in
Imagination, 10 the destruction of a
steamboat and the slaughter of seven
teen innocent souls. But then, We have
the charity to remember, tina! the hu-
initiation which Tacoma has suffered in
view of its utter and hopeless failure
and the success of Seattle, has been an
awful strain upon the patience of those
who had built their hopes upon Tacoma
as rival town. a@

The RAILRoAo.-The grading of II
miles of the Seattle and Walla Railroad
is nearly completed. When the road is
put in running order over that section,
it will connect with the Renton. coal
mine and the Talbot coal mine. These
two mines will guarantee to furnish
coal freight to the amount of 300 tons a
day, at so cents ton. From this source
alone the Railroad would derive a net
iucome of not less than one hundred
dollars a day, or $500 a year, which
would be % per cent. upon the cost Of
the road. To aid in finishing and fur
nishing this section Of the road, the two
coal companies named offer to advance
$40, 600 each. This will leave, as we
understand, but abont $4,000 to be
raised by the railroad company, and as
O basis for this, the assets of the cons
pany are estimated at about $120, 900.
II will be very strange, and most conclu-
sive evidence of bad management if this
section Of the railroad is not completed
in the shortest practicable time. When
this is done it will be demonstrated be-
yond peradventure that the road will
pay, and thereafter there will be little
difficulty in obtaining means to push it
forward to final completion. The first
successful effort in all enterprises has
always been attended with the greatest
difficulty. But, without reference to
further progress, the completion of this
Sc stion of the road will be of incalcula-
BILE advantage to this town, in adding to
its material prosperity. The miuing and
transporting OF 10000 tons of coal a
year, worth in the San Francisco market
not less than 81, ,OSO, 900 is IN itself no
inconsiderable item to be counted in the
trade of the town. And in this connec-
ton, we may say that the old Seattle
Coal Company will furnish for ship
ment during the next year not less than
6O,0OO tons, which, at $12 ton in San
Francisco. will amount to $720, 600
more making our coal in the San Fran
cisco market aggregate for the year 81
100000; which is equal in amount to
one half of the entire lumber trade of
the Sound. In view of the profit of the
investment and the immense public ad-

Our Legislature this time is Democratic
and it is amusing to see how the Repubi-
can members, since the sceptre of power
has been wrenched from their grasp, seek
every available opportunity to bring the
organization of the 'putrid Renaissance"

main target is Haines, Speaker of the
House. This is his first experience in that
capacity, and they try to hedge, perplex
and worry him in every conceivable way.
Haines is host though, and when they
fling over much dirt at him, he coolly re-
signs his chair to some member, comes
down on the floor, gives them thorough
castigation and then moves the precious

IN MEMORIAM

Departed this life, at his home in the village
of Upper Marlborough, Prince Georges county,
Nd, at st O'Clock on Saturday afternoon,
February Goth, 1875, after an illness of few
days, of pneumonia, JOSEPH B. HARRIS,
Esq, father-in-aw of the senior editor of the
Independent, aged So years.
The subject of this brief notice needs no pan
egyric at our hands. The life of this upright
christian gentleman, full of good actions,
speaks for him now in louder tones of praise
than we could dare hope to award him. For
many years an honored and respected citizen
of the village in which he died, his loss will be
severely felt. Ever kind and indulgent
father, his death brings to his grief-stricken
household the deepest sorrow.
For some years a consistent member of the
Episcopal Church. his last end was that of the
resigned, God-fearing man. To his sorrowing
household friend would offer the sympathy
which alone can come from like sorrowing
heart. May He who has thus seen fit to grieve
them, comfort them also in their great bereave-
ment is. w.

Some of the Brooklyn Sunday papers discuss
the Beecher-Tilton trial in manner which

Friday the long contested suit of Jason Weeks,
