The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1883-02-08

The steamship Tacoma went ashore
four miles north of the Umpqua river
on Monday night of last week. The
steamer proves total loss. Only two
passengers were on board, and with
all but ten of the crew were saved. The
Tacoma was the first of fleet of four
5000 ton steamships building by the
Central Pacific railroad, to ply be-
tween San Francisco and Puget Sounds,
carrying coal from the New Carbon
ada mines. She arrived in San Fran
cisco about four weeks ago, and made
Horn. She sailed from New Tacoma
Jan. 9th, with 300 tons of coal. Her
cost was S250,000.

The w, o. & w. r. R.

The stockholders of the Washing
ton, Ohio and Western Railroad held
their first meeting at the company's
Office in Alexandria on the 18TH. i.
Mr. Archer n. Martin, of New
York, was elected President of the
company with the following Board
of Directors: u. L. Boycc, Clarke
county, Va. Henry ID. Cooke, Wash
ington, ID. c.; Morgan Post, New
York city; Geo. H.. Bates, Whining
ton, Del. >; W. G. Oal1man, New York
city; r. 7. Barton, Winchester, Va.
Jas. c. McComb, Wilmington, Del.
John S. Barnes, New York city;
Philip II. Fraser, Elizabeth, N. j.
Wm. Bernie, Jr., Elizabeth, N. j.
Austin Harrington, Wilmington, Del,
and Allen G. Campbell, Kansas.
After adopting seal for the COM
pany and series of bylaws, the
stockholders meeting adjourned and
the directors met and elected Charles
E. Kimbafl, of New York, secretary;
Henry ID. Cooke, Of Washington,
treasurer; S. N. Brophy, superinten-
dent; and Jos. I. Wright, assistant
treasurer.
No definite action was taken in re-
gard to the extension of the road and
all such business was deferred to
another meeting which will probably
soon be held.
The board OF directors Is composed
OF solid business men, and the gem
cral impression prevails that under
their management the road will soon
be built 10 Berryville, where It will
connect with the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad, and that with the latter's
connection with the Norfolk and West
ern, the coal of that region will be
shipped TO this point, and Alexandria
be made one of the big coal markets
of the coast. t.-.
Mr.. Martin, the President, is con-
nected with large railroad banking
house n New York.
A corps of civil engineers is already
here, which, it is thought, will be sent
out on the road at once preparatory
to Che construction of the same.

Give me your hand, Old Blue Coat,

For the prettiest march of all the war
Was this of rank and file!-

When twas hard, I wecn, to keep
Those men from crying out, ''Hnrrahl

There lar that llnightly figure,
One hand npon his sword.
The other pressed above his heart,
a VOW without word!
The laurel leaves had futter'd down,
For flowers their vigils keep.
And crowned him. tllolfgh, L think they knew

of it. The gentleman stated to me that he was

feet of water, and he was about two hours find
