A LAKE WASHINGTON ACCl-
DENT.-Yesterday as Mr.. Brown
field, with several others, was
attempting to beach the steamer
Chehalis, which had lately sunk
near the portage, one of the
capstan bars broke, causing the
others to fly around with terri
BILE velocity. Mr.. Brownfield be-
ing in the way, was struck a Sc
we're blow upon the left arm,
producing a compound fracture
of the bone. DR.. Weed upon
being called, set the broken
bones temporarily, and the in
jured man was taken to the res
idence of Mr.. Weeden, of this
city, where his injuries are be-
ing cared for by DIR. Weed. Mr..
Allen, who was also at the cap
stan when the bar broke, was
fortunately saved from injury
from the fact of his being in
STOPPING position at the time.
THE DEBATE at the Pavilion,
which has been held for the last
five evenings on Biblical ques-
tions and Infidel topics, came
to a close last evening. Like
all other religious discussions
neither party were impressed by
the arguments Of the other side,
but still considerable fun was
elected by each side as points
were made, and upon the whole
the evening passed off very pleas
antly for those interested.

\ RARE FossIL.-Yesterday
the Superintendent Of the Rem
ton coal mine sent valuable
fossil to be added to the collec-
ton Of the University. The fos
sill in question was found three
hundred feet beneath the sur
face, and one thousand feet from
the opening of the tunnel, and
consisted Of a large fresh water
clam, and maple and alder
leaves. The clam had the ap-
pearance Of having been pre-
served with very little altera-
tion from its original condition.

to the collection which Mr..
Whitworth is making.
