a HALF FINISHED WEDDING-Tho
young people of Cincinnati arc excited over
n promised wedding that didn't take place.
The young man and young woman had
known each other from childhood, and were
prominent in society circles. Tho wedding
guests were assembled, and the loving couple
were on the floor. Tho minister pronounced
the usual question to the bride as to whether
she would take the man for her husband,
ETC., when, much to tho surprise of all pres
emf, she answered 'No." Thinking he mis-
understood her, the minister asked the qucs-
ton again, and again she answered "No."-
This stopped the ceremony, and the story
came out. The young man, addicted to the
use of intoxicating liquors, had promised to
reform if the lady would consent TO marry
him, and had signed the pledge. He had
been on trial for months, but, az tho bride
had turned to him as they stood side by side
before the minister, she caught the odor of
whiskcy on his breath, and detected signs Of
incipieDt intoxication. She closed the extra-
ordinary scene by stating that she could not
trust her future to a man vino had broken
promise so soemnly mado. REPRESENTATIONS
and entreates were all in vain. The wed>
ding did not take place.

GREEN FooD FOR HENs.-A daily ration
of green food is actually necessary for laying
hens. Vegetables, either cook ed or raw, are
much relished also, and serve in some measure
to supply the place of green diet. Onions
chopped fine and mixed with their food are
exceedingly wholesome and if not cure are
certainly preventive of disease in many in
stances Growing chickens are even moro
anxious for green food than laying hens,
they crave it, and when necessary to be
housed from it on account ofinclement wealth.
err, it should be provided for them. There
is no green food SO wholesome for them as
onion cut up fine.-Er.

Respectfully,

The above call: it will be OBJ
served, is signed indiscriminate-
IS by radical Republicans, un-
compromising Democrats and
Independents; hence it has no
party design or significance. 1t
is simply an opportunity offered
to our Delegate, by his immedi
ate neighbors who have conf
dence in his integrity and fideli-
ty to his trust, to publicly vindi-
cate his character as a public
servant against the foul charges
which have been made against
him while in our service by our
common enemies. We bespeak
for him rousing meeting, which
shall demonstrate the fact that
the people Of Seattle do not con
denim and desert their friends
without just cause after a fair

of wind had disturmbed the at
mosphere at the time, the de-
struction of both residences
would have been almost inevita-
BILE with the lack of facilities for
suppressing the fire. AS it was,
within a block and a half of the
largest reservoir in the city, to
which hose were attached which
extended near the fire and from
thence emptied into buckets and
passed to the front and used only
with the further aid of blankets
to defend the buildings which
had not caught, without wasting
any water in fruitless efforts
upon the fire then burning.
The City has entered into
contract for a steam fire engine
to cost $4,000, and it meets the
popular approval almost uani-
mosly; but any where away from
the water front, where is the
water to come from to supply
such an engine for a long fight?
The city of Seattle is every day
liable to a fire which might de-

Fire and Water.

1t will be remembered that a
littlo over two years ago, parties
were informally proposing to
erect water works and furnish
this city with an abundant sup
ply Of water for domestic and
irrigating purposes, with a re-
servoir three hundred feet above
tide water with sufficient re-
serve to meet any demand for
fire purposes, upon such condi-
tions as were deemed fair and
within the corporate power Of
the city to grant. A franchise
for that purpose, it was popular
ly understood, would vest in the
water company exclusive rights
which belonged in common to
ali who were iG possession of
springs from which they supplied
their own wants and those of
their neighbors for considera-
ton. So intense was the preju-
dice against granting any such
exclusive privilege, that ma
jority Of the people refused. to
entertain or consider the propo-
sition on any terms, and so de,
cided was the public feeling up
on this Subject that it was made
an Issue in the pending munich
pal election, which was the most
warmly contested Of any ever
held in this city. and on vote
more than double any ever be-
fore polled in like eioction, re-
suited in the defeat of the author
Of these remarks, by less than a
score of votes, solely on the
ground that he had expressed
himself, in general terms, as in
favor Of granting, upon reasona-
bic terms, a franchise to a COM
pany to supply the city with an
abundance of water in cases of
fire, without interfering with
any private rights. That put a
quietus on the project at that
time, and it has not been since
renewed by any party. Since
then, we have seen several fires.
The most elegant and expensive
private residence in the city was
burning more than an hour in
one wing before the fire reached
the main building, and in the
slow course OF three hours was
wholly consumed only because
not sufficient water could be
procured to quench the fire, and
without water no amount of ap-
paratus for extinguishing fires
could have saved it. Last night
the carriage-hoase and stable of
ex-Mayor Gatzert was destroyed
by fire. The building was very
close to the house and as ear to
the residence of DR.. A. H. Smith,
on the other side. If a breath

The Tacoma Herald, in an
elaborate article on railroad
matters, reaches thc following
conclusion
"A proof Of the relationship
existing between the .. 5. n.
and the n. ?. r. r., companies
will be given in the near future.
The n. Il. Il. company has time,
opportunity and i practical route
upon which to buiid a road thro
the Cascades, between Puget
Sound and Eastern Washington.
This road, once built, it would,
in a measure, be q copetitor to
the 0. S. n. Co.'S boats. This
line is the shortest, most practl-
cable, and only reasonable route
between the Great Lakes and
the tide water Of the Pacific
ocean. II the railroad IS built
across the Cascades within the
next year, Eastern and Western
Washington will have received
their just dues; if it is not near
ly or entirely constructed within
that time, the people Of this
Territory safely consider them
selves as SOLD sHAMEFULLY
SOLD
As an individual, we can not
tell how nearly related those
companies may be to each other;
but as a public journalists, we
are promptly to watch carefully
the evidences OF their relation
ship; warn our readers Of any
combined movement which may
tend to compromise the best in
te '.asts of our people, and assist,
Wit. all possible and fair means,
to avert impending enthraldom
by ne O. S. n. company, which
has 40 interest in our growing
commonwealth farther than the
control of its commerce in behalf
of Portland and capitalists pre-
JUDGED against the growth Of a
large city on Puget Sound.
"The hour has arrived when
the case demands that every
public man in the Territory, and
any person possessed Of a vote,
should study most carefully the
railroad question, and favor that
which promises the greatest ben
fit to our own commonwealth.
We are in favor of a railroad
across the Cascades, with all due
Difference to the 0. S. N. COM
pany.'
In this matter we agree with
our neighbor entirely as far as
he goes. We not believe there
is man in Seattle, or any other
place on Puget Sound, who is
not in favor of a railroad across
the Cascade mountains, or any
place on the Sound that would
not be benefttedthereby. When
ever that road is built, it makes
little difference where that road
terminates, such connections
would speedily be made as would
finally determine the question
as to which port would establish
and maintain commercial supre-
macy. No man Of our acquaint-
