RETURNED.-The excursionists
who visited Victoria on the ami
versary of the Queens birthday
returned on the North Pacific
to-day. They are warm in praise
of the reception given them by
their British cousins, pronounc-
ing Victoria aft dwelling place
for man" in all essential particu-
lars. The grand ball in the
evening was filled to the brim
with the hartiest, happiest com
pany imaginable, and during the
entire exercises of the day and
night there occurred neither acci-
dent nor disturbance to mar the
occasion. There are none like
"John" when he takes occasion
to "set 'em up for his guests.
DROPPED DEAD.-A man named
Charles Grover, who rented this
year Mr.. L. G. Harmon's farm
on the Duwamish river, about
six miles from this city, while
working IN the field yesterday
dropped dead by the side OF his
horse. A German who was
working with HIM at the time
Immediately went to his assist
ance, but found him dead on his
arrival. The coroner was mott
fed, and will hold an inquest to-
day. Cause supposed to be
heart disease. He was an indus
trious, honorable man, and leaves
a small family behind.
CURIOUS ACCIDENT. Yesterday,
while engaged in game of base
ball, Mr.. Clayton Packard, student
of the Territorial University, pitch
ed ball with such force as to dis
locate his arm at the shoulder.
Accidents of this kind are very rare,
as it takes an unusual exertion of the
muscles to produce such an effect.
Mr.. Packard now walks about with
his arm in a sling, and will sling no
more balls for some time. Judging
from the multiplication Of accidents
which are recorded, the ''Great Ma
tiona1 Game" is one of peril as we'll
as of pleasure.
