The JUBILEE SINGERS. This band
Of colored singers, whose advent in
this city several months ago created
such a furore in amusement circles.
have, the Bee learns, disbanded for
the season, the majority of them
at present making their headquarters
in Chicago, where Mr.. Peabody, the
manager of the troupe. resides.
Miss Della Reyno (Sister Ruth) has
been married since the troupe visited
this place, and is now keeping books
for q well-known mercantile firm in
Denver, Colorado. Theo. Carleton,
of Portland, has received q fiattering
offer to go East and reorganize the
troupe for the coming spring and
summer season, and the chances are
favorable for his acceptance of the
engagement. Should he decide to
do so, he will leave that city in
March or April next. Should he do
so, he contemplates revisiting this
coast and introd ucing the troupe in
new and attractive specialities. Mr..
Carleton bears the reputation of be-
ing an excellent manager, and to
this fact was due the immense sue
cess that attended their first visit to
this Territory and Oregon.
SERIOUS RUNAWAY. From q gen.
tlemen just down from Olympia We
learn the particulars of q serious ac-
cident which occurred to party Of
representatives. at that place yester-
day afternoon. It seems the party
which consisted Of Messrs. Van
Syckle, Ebey. Atkinson and Greg
ory-were out riding in a light
spring wagon, to which were at
tached a pair Of spirited young
horses. They had proceeded about
q quarter of q mile out of town in
the direction of the capitol building.
when the horses become frightened
at some object and dashed off at full
speed. Mr.. Van Syckle was thrown
from thewagon and had leg broken;
the other members of the party
were also moro or less injured. It
is feared thai Mr.. Ebey sustained
serious internal injuries. The in
jured gentlemen were Immediately
picked up and taken to the nearest
residence, where they received the
attention of q physician.
TIE SUPPER. was a large
attendance at Yesler's Hall last
night at the supper given by tho
ladies of the NJ. E. Church. The
tables were loaded with good things
to tempt the appetite. There was
singing. and a comic defamation in
character; also music by the band.
All seemed pleased with the enter
tainment. The receipts $55-wers
quite satisfactorily, considering the
low price charged. The entireexpenss
was in the neighborhood Of SIG,
leaving q nice balance on hand.
OK Monday night the British
steamer Alexander, 700 tons, ran on
the reef at the entrance of Victoria
harbor. As the Isabel passed her
on Tuesday she was nearly on her
beam-ends, and no doubt will be
seriously damaged. She had on
board 100 tons OF freight for Victo-
ria from Portland.
RETURNED.--Capt. Geo. D. Hill.
who has been at Neah Bay for the
last three weeks in charge in the
Indian agency at that place, has re-
turned to this city, and may now be
found at his Office in the county
building. His clerk remains in
charge at the agency, awaiting tho
appointment of successor to Mr..
Huntington.
The danger to which the passen-
gers on board the Constitution were
exposed, and the fact that it wss
only the courage of the white crew
and coelness OF the officers that pre-.
vented fearful disaster. is one of
the strongest arguments against the
employment of Chinese sailors.
The barkentine, Discovery, Capt.
Smith. made the quickest time on
record between the Sandwich Is
lands and Port Townsend, having
been only IL days from land to land,
and IA from port to port.
