NO LIVES LOET.

From q private dispatch to gen.
tleman in this city, we CLEAN the fol-
lowing facts: The steamship Con-
stitution took fire from the coal in
her after bunkers, which was damp,
on her down trip from this port.
The fire was not discovered
until the steamer was within thirty
miles of San Francisco and the
devouring flames had already gained
too much headway to be easily sub
dued. The vessel was we'll supplied
with facilities for extinguishing
fires. and her steam fire apparatus
Was at once brought into play, but
the fire had communicated to the
hops and grain, and all efforts to
smother it proved unavailing. In
this dilemma the matches were fas-
tened down, and the fire confined to
the hold. The steamship was
grounded on Oakland flats, and scut-
tied. The steamer and her fieight
are o total loss, except perhaps q
portion Of her machinery. The
passengers were all rescued.
Schwabacher Bros. : Co. was the
only firm in this city that had their
shipment covered by insurance,
their cargo of grain, valued Al ST.
500, being so secured. The grain
shipped by Crawford & Harrington
was not Insured, and is therefore q
total loss. The supposition is
a portion of the large quantity OF
hops shipped from the Puyallup
valley were probably insured in San
Francisco by the consignees on re-
ceipt of telegraphic notice of their
shipment.
The gallant ecn'lnct of Capt. Sea>
bury and ether officers of the steamer,
in preserving order among the
frightened passengers, and in doing all
thvt man conld do to save the ship. are
highly spoken of

Hrs LAST GAME.--The last and
best game played by Mcdonald, who
was released from our county Jail
last week, was this: Mcdonald
bought an excursion ticket to the
Oregon State Fair and return,
which he presented Oh board the
Aida for passage to Tacoma. The
purser was about to tear off the
coupon; when Mcdonald stopped
him, saying he had no right to it.
The purser maintained his right to
the coupon, when Mcdonald fer
ed to bet $40 that he was right, and
leave the question to the agent at
Tacoma. This was readily accepted,
and the money put up. Arrived at
Tacoma, the agent decided adverse
to the purser, and Mcdonald
pocketed the $40.

Arrangements are now being made
to accommodate larger number Of
pupils with board and rooms, or

Presidents house. All such students
are under the constant care of the

Before closing this report, allow
the suggestion that there is great
need of apparatus for illustrating
the natural sciences. And further.
shat it is very desirable to secure,
on some we'll considered plan. a
larger endowment, that the Unive1-
sity may be enabled to extend its
curriculum at least one year beyond
that set forth i'll the accompanying
circular, thus allowing one class of
students to be completely fitted for
any college, and other classes to
pursue scientific and normal courses
Of study fully equal to those found
in colleges and universities else

vas picked up near the mouth of
the bay minus an occupant, and
nothing further has developed since.
The name Of the survivor is Dick
Ward, and of the deceased, Thomas
Quinn.
