PIONEER AssoCIATIoN.-Att the meeting
OF the Pioneers in June last it was voted
that the society meet in Seattle on the
second Tuesday in October TO hear and
act on report of committee on cOnstitu-
ton and such other business as may
properly come before the meeting. AS
this will be the time when some arrange
ments will be made for the celebration
to be held in Port Townsend on the first
Tuesday in June, 1887, it is necessary
that as many members should be present
as possible Remember, Tuesday, Oct
13th, at Seattle.
Yesterday. when leaving Friday Har-
Dor with seow in tow loaded with so
tons of lime rock for the Irondale fur
mace, the steamer Virginia broke her
crank shaft. The Queen City took the
disabled steamer and scow in tow aud
started for this place. OF Protection
Island heavy sea struck the scow and
washed off her after matches, filling her
with water. The scow commenced to
sink by the stern and listed heavily to
one side, when tho rock on board slid
off, allowing her to come up. The scow
was saved without damage, but had it
not been that the cargo went overheard
might have been lying in the bottom OF
the sea.
Rev Charles B. Crawford, late of
Eureka, Nevada, arrived yesterday on
the Queen of the Pacific, to take charge
of st. Paul's Episcopal church in this
city. Bishop Paddock writes to the
Trustees Of the Church that Mr.. Craw-
ford has been eminently successful at
Eureka. especially SO in awakening an
interest in young men for church mat
ters. Mr.. Crawford is a Jealous worker,
genial gentleman, and profound
scholar. We trust his advent among US
will be met with the courteous regards
of all those who feel an interest in church
matters, and that he may be welcomed
as an agreeable addition to society. We
predict for St Paul's church an awaken
ing interest under the labors OF the rev.
erend gentleman.
TROUBLE ABOUT CREw.-Some days
ago representatives of the Sailors On
ion went on board the ship Kate Davan-
port at Port Blakely, aud took her nom
union crew ashore. The Captain tele-
graphed to Henry Rcthschild Of Port
Townsend, Agent of the Pacific Coast
Ship Owners Association, authorizing
him to ship a crew. Mr.. Rotischild
went to Victoria, hired crew, and
brought them to Port Townsend where
they went before shipping commi sioner
Bash and uigned the articles. They
then proceeded to Seattle on the North
Pacific, in company with Mr.. Rothschild.
On their arrival here they were met by
a delegation of twenty-five or thirty
members of the sailors Union, who told
them that il they would refuse to go on
the ship their board would be paid by
the union, and they need not work;
some Of them at first insisted on joining
the ship, but they were told that they
might as well yield, as they would not
be permitted to board the ship. and they
finally yielded and are boarding here at
tho expense Of the Union. Mr.. Roths-
child is still here, and has telegraphed
for instructions.-P.-L We hear since
that the crew has had Mr.. Rothsrhild
arrested. We understand, however.
that Dir. Rothschild had sworn out war
rants and had the crew arrested for re-
fusiEg duty, and his arrest was az act of
retaliation. Trial comes of today.
