TELEGRAPHlC TwADDLE.

specuIations upon the coming Prsslden-

contradictory and always senseiess'
Here Is specimen sent from that city
IN Sunday last: There have been as
sertions and deniais without mum

man of average intelligence IN the pos

nomination Of his party for the Presi-

of an election Not one of all the men

the proud distinction. Nay, more, there

not strain every effort for that enviable
prominence. Grant, Logan, Edmunds,
Lincoln, Harrison, Window, Arthur and

their party to hoped for victory. And
the same is just as true OF TIlden, Thur

LAST EVENINGS CoNcERT.-The miser-
able weather of last evening must have
kept at home many who would other
wise have attended the concert given by
the ladies of Trimity Church Guild.
Nevertheless, fairly sized audience
was assembled in Yesler Hall at the
time announced for the opening. the at
tendance being quite complimentary to
the performers when it is considered
through what unfathomable depths of
mud each one of the audience WAS COM
PEELED to wade. 1t is scarcely necessary
to say that III the merit of the perform
ance. and in the entire satisfaction Civ
on to the audience, the concert was a
grand success. The best talent of Sc
attic was enlisted III it. and the best
talent of Seattle is sufficient to make
anything a success. The evening was
opened. with an overture by Mesdag's
orchestra, which was warmly applaud
ed. MIR. w. Carkeek then sang "A Ma
riner's Homes the Sea-" in splendid
style. and brought the audience up to
the proper pitch of enthusiasm and ap
probation. Then came Awake. the
Night IS Beaming," solo and chorus, by
| Miss Bell: and a chorus consisting Of
| Misses Atkins. Mcpherson and Atwood,
and Messrs. Bowman, Carkeek and Nj
cholas. Mr.. J. l.. Howard. of San
Francisco, then sang "rhe Fog Bell"
IN significantly, and brought down the
house. In response to the hearty encore
that was rendered him, he sang DARBY
and JOAN" with telling effect. 1t is
| seldom that one is permitted to listen
to voice of such depth and fullpess as
that of Mr.. Howard, and those who
heard him felt fully repaid for their
venture through tho night and rain.
Miss Dora Hall and Mr.. f. G. Bowman
| followed in duet, 1.-The Land of the
Swallows" and we're warmly received.
Miss Atkins then sang beautifully,
Little Bird SO Sweetly Singing" and
| the first part of the program was closed
with the glee, "The Sea hath its Pearls"
Part second OpeRed with q concert valse.
''On the Beautiful Rhine" by the Or
chestra. Then followed Mr.. j. Nicholas
in the song. mo Tongue can Tell"
which was magniticently rendered. A
violin solo, a selection from I'll Trova
tore" was then rensered by MIR. T..
Lobe. Miss Lille Bell then followed
with the 'Slumber Song" accom-. panied
by MIR. Macdonald with the flute. This
was one of the features of the evening,
and it was heartily enioved. In re-
Spouse to an encore Miss Bell sang
robin Adair." MIR. Z. G. Bowman fol-
lowed with my Queen" and the pro-
gram was closed with the glee, The
Red Cross Knight" The performance
throughout was heartily enjoyed. and it
is to be hoped that the ladies' will see fit
to repeat it on some more pleasant eve
ming. Mrs. }. q. Scurry as accompnnist
and sir. II. Macdonald as conductor,
acquitted the .lselves splendidly, and
added much to the telling success of the
evening.

Two STREET SUGGEsTIoNs.-One is
for the city to have made a V-shaped
scraper, hire span of horses and have
the thin mud on Commercial and Front
streets drawn into the Sound. The other
is to have the thin mud referred to
scraped into the middle of the street,
and openings into drains kept con
stantly clean, permitting the escape of
the water. This mud is thin and shall
low. being only two or three inches
deep, and composed of GO or 20 per cent
of water. The material beneath the
mud is largely gravel and is hard and
good enough for street purposes. Either
suggestion will remedy the present evil,
aud do away with the unusual accumu-
latioR of mud that now disgraces our
two leading business streets.

WAsHoUT.-A washout has occurred
on Main street that will involve the con-
tractors in loss of fully three hundred
dollars. The raised roadway, composed
principally Of silt, was moved by the
melting snow and falling rain of Monday
to seek the lower level of the lots along
side. 1t went down under the side
walks. racking the latter badly, and
making necessary the rebuilding of the
latter along one whole block, and parts
of other blocks. The contractors on
Main street have had another misfOr
tune to contend with, in the sliding of
lots into the street, aecessitating a clear
ing up of the debris. Had they COM
pleted their WORK earlier in the season.
and the street had been accepted by the
city, this clearing up and making good
OF ~ashouts, etc, would have fallen to
the part of the latter, and not the con-
tractors.

BuEcLARY.-Wright's variety store on
Front street was entered by burglars
sometime during Monday night, and
goods taken to the value of about three
or four hundred dollars. The thieves
entered the building by passing under
the pavement and bursting open a base
mcnt door. They were very fastidions
IN selecting their plumber, taking only
such small articles as were at once val
liable and easy TO carry off. Among the
goods taken there were seven watches.
a number of silk handkerchiefs, and a
select assortment of small articles. The
burglary all through was neat Job. AS
such jobs go, and the thieves left No
clue by which they coald be traced.

lures of children are displayed in the
window of kelly's drug store, and are
attracting the attention and admiration
of all who pass by. One liz "A faithful
likeness of little Blanche Kelly, daugh-
ter of Mr.. NJ. A. Kelly the other of
Robbie Hill. son of Mr.. Robert Hill, of
Port Townsend. The former is in water
colors, and the latter i'll crayon. These
pictures were produced by a process
which secures faithful likeness and
yet occasions AZ little inconvenience as
possible To the person taken. Ordinary
cabinet photographs of the person are
taken and sent to Chicago. where they
arc rephotographed and enlarged, being
afterwards finished with crayou or water
color, as may be desired. That perfect
likenesses are secured by this process,
the pictures on exhibition sufficiently
attest. MIR. Fisk, the agent for this
work, deserves great credit for Offering
to the people of Seattle work 50 desira
ble and so perfect IN all its details, and
1t is not rash To predict that "A large
number OF our citizens will avail them
selves Of this opportunity to secure
faithful and finished likenesses Of their
loved ones.

A BAD WRECK.-Last evening about
half past nine O'Clock as the engine
Bodie was taking two coal cars up the
incline to the coal dock, the wheels
slipped On the wet rails, and the load
proved too much for the little locomo-
tive. The train began to back down
the incline, slowly at first, then
faster and faster until it came
laundering down at lightning speed
The engineer, the only man on the train
jumped, leaving the cars to rush down
ward to their own destruction. The
train kept the track until the crossing
of Commercial street was reached,
when the locomotive and one car got off
The locomotive turned completely over
and rolled down to the Hall Il PaulsOn
wharf, where 1t lies a mass of broken
iron and wood. The car simply turned
over and deposited its load of coal up
on the ground. 1t is a wonder that
such an accident could happen and be
attended by no loss of life. The loco
motive had recently been repaired and
completely overhauled. 1t cannot be
put into running order again without
great expense, as il ia almost a total
wreck. A force of men was immedi-
ately put to work clearing away the
debris, and the track will soon be in
condition for use.

that time-forward the latter took the chief
part in the direction of university colleges,
