Advices came by telegraph late last
night from Neah Bay that the bark
Lizzie Marshall had gone ashore at
Bonnell Point, Vancouver's Island, and
was total loss. Capt. Ad. Bergman,
it seems, had sent his mate and four
sailors to Neah Bay in boat. 1t is not
known whether those who stayed by the
vessel are safe or not, but presumably
they are. Tugs Goliah and Blakely have
gone to the rescue today. Mrs. Capt.
Bergman was aboard. She is a sister
of Robert Biles of this place.

dress the public at the hall that evening.
Everybody is invited to attend, especially
those who may desire to know more
about the order. Mr.. Burton has been
doing good work for the order in Oregon
and Washington Territory during the
past few weeks, organizing new councils
and encouraging and strengthing those
already in existence.
Good Templar Hall was crowded last
evening to hear Miss Nellie Boyd in
| East Lynne" The occasion was an in
spring one,and the entire troupe seemed
to feel in good spirits. To one who has
| read the story of "East Lynne" the af-
secting scenes in that play were presented
with peculiar force. The leading part,
that of Lady Isabella, was carried out
by Miss Boyd in natural and hfelike act
ing, while the other parts were presented
in a most entertaining manner by other
members of the company. Aunt Cor
nelia was specially commendable; while
the orchestra was just grand A cornet
solo was loudly encOured. The main
features of the play are: happy young
couple settled on an old English estate
the wife becomes jealous of a former
fame of her young lord; the husband is
interested in shielding an innocent
brother of the lady who has excited his
wife's jealousy the brother being
charged with murder; wife wants hel
husband to disclose the secret; he refuset
and she becomes madly jealous aud runs
away from her home with former lover
of hers, who has been trying to excite
her jealousy; later on her remorse drive:
her almost to distraction, and she parts
from her illicit lover and returns in dis
guise to her former home where she il
engaged as nurse to care for the ittl,
ones she had so basely deserted. Sh,
finds the husband she had left, now mar
ried to her former rival, both supposinl
her dead. Her agony is pitiful, and tn,
climax is reached at the deathbed OF one
of her little children Ere she dies th,
husband of her youth recognizes her anG
the scene that follows is affecting in thu
extreme. During the rendition of the
play last evening many in the large audi
ence we're moved to tears.
