Plans Adopted
For the Hotel OlymPia.-.A Splendid
Structure.

For the Hotel OlymPia.-.A Splendid
Structure.
To-day was the time advertised for
the inspection of plans and specifica-
tons for the new Hotel Olympia to be
erected by the citizens of this city,
and at an early hour this morning the
board of directors and managers were
at work.
A number of architects from all
over the country submitted their de-
signs, and each man in his turn was
before the committee to explain in de-
tail his specimens. When all had had
their cay the committee went into
sort Of executive session and the result
was that the plans of Parkinson &
Evers, of Seattle, were chosen by the
committee as the best suited to the
wants of the city.
Owing to the lateness of the hour
the OLYMPIAN is unable to give a des-
cription Of the structure but will wait
until the architects arrive from down
Sound when it will be published in de-
tail. Sufficient be it now to say that
the structure will be three stories and
an attic in height, deliberately decorat-
ed and having accommodations for 86
suites of rooms. and all necessary out
buildings for the use Of the hotel. Its
estimated cost, exclusive Of ground,
will approximate $4,000.
A handsome sketch of the building
is now on exhibition in the window of
n. OConnor's stationery store.

Boiler Explosion.
The Steamer Jessie Severely Scalds

The Steamer Jessie Severely Scalds
the Crew.
On Monday as the steamer Jessie
was nearing Hunters Point, about 10
miles from here, the feed-pire leading
from the boiler suddenly exploded,
scattering its contents all around and
allowing the steam and hot water from
the boiler to escape. The boat at the
time was loaded with oysters and had
on board Captain Avery. Engineer;
John McCarragher and Mr.. Rodgerr,
of the pipe works in this city. The
former was fearfully scalded in the
lace and hands and the engineer was
badly disfgured. Mr.. Rodgers a. the
time was sitting on the gunwale and
the force of the explosion was such ~
to knock him overheard, this alone
saving him from like fate as the 9TH
ers. He regained the boat, however,
and set about to alleviate the distress
of his unfortunate companions.
The steamer Willie came slong this
morning and seeing the predicament,
took the cargo of the" Jessie aboard
and started for this city with it. Capt.
Wiley offered to tow the vessel to this
city but word had been sent to the
home Of Capt. Avery to eend the Louise
at once 20 he could proceed to his
home and receive care. The Jessie is
q very small beat and was engaged in
traffic between North Bay and this
port, touching at intermediate
points. Capt. Avery and the engineer
are now at their homes suffering in
tensely from the injuries they received.

Building.
An Immense Business Promised fol
the Summer.


the Summer.
If any one doubts for a moment
that there is not great deal of build
ing going on all over the city let him
take quiet ramble some morning in
two or three directions and see for HIM
self.
Wednesday the OLYMPIAN pilgrim,
thinking to while away an hour or 80,
hailed Quincy and with instructions
to drive at his leisure and will, took
stroll in one of these superb vehicles.
The first portion of the city visited was
to the south, Immediately east of the
Capitol building. The first building
on the way up was the massive new
residence of Hon. John F. Convey,
which is being reared as fast as ma
terial arrives. Already the foundation
is in place and the lumber for the
super-structure is on the ground. This
will he model residence and when
completed will be the best and largest
in the city.
Further on south, on Main stree, a
halt was made and from a command
ing spot on the hillside a view of the
surroundings was taken. BY actual
count, twenty-three dwellings were
being erected within a radius OF one
quarter of mile, while back on Ayers
Hill, and adjoining SUBMITS, the en-
tire hillside was dotted with new
dwellings in course of construction.
Retraciug his course and proceeding
north on Main street until Fourth
street was reached, stop was made
for moment, and when all was ready
again the cab and its load now con-
siderably augmented) sped on the
way out toward the various additions
lying OH top of the hin, and to the
east of the city. The first reached on
the way out was Boyd's subdivision OF
block II, beautiful piece of ground
laying on the hillside, sloping west,
and commanding a view of the city
and harbor. As yet no buildings are
on this plat. although some of the
more recent purchasers have a,ked
local architects 10 prepare plans for
them.
Almost directly opposite and COM
prising one of the favored places in all
the land lies the McDevitt & Davis
Horton addition, extending On Fourth
street a considerable distance and back
toward the Hale donation cl'im.
What there is on Fourth street has
been disposed of and lots in the rear
ara going off like hot cakes. Judge
Isham, of the Cole Commission, has
secured three lots and will in few
days commence thereon the erection of
neat residence for his family.
Again directly opposite is Sawyer's
Fourth street addition, a piece of land
that extends along the principal thor
oughfare for some distance and south
for little over a quarter of a mile.
1t lays comparatively clear and slopes
gently south and east making it a de-
sirable place for residence property
combining all the advantages of good
location, ample scope of view and ex.
cellent drainage. The agents report
having sold number OF lots the past
days to persons who intend to erect
neat dwellings thereon at once.

he remained in q COMA ose condition
since yesterday afternoon and died
without regaining consciousness. All
his family were present at his death.
LONDON, March 27.-In the House
of Commons to-day, w. H. Smith, the
Governm ent leader, with much emo
ton referred to the death of Hon. John
Bright. Smith said he would postpone
his rema:ks on the deceased state man
until next Friday, when Gladstone,
who was called to Scotland by the
death of his brother, would be prese mt.
] hn Morley thanked Smith for the
consideration in regard to desiring
Gladstone's presence, and said the lat
ter, who was lifelong friend of Bright
would be greatly gratified.
John Bright was the son OF J, In
Bright and was born in 1911 in Rich
dale, England. In 1888 when The
Anti-COrn league was organized he
took an active part in the agitation OF
free trade along with C. P. Villers,
Richard Golden and Gen. Thompson,
author of the famous Catechism on
Corn published about 1886. In April,
1S43, he stood for election as a MEM
Der Of Parliament in Durham, the FAM
Gus English city, but was defeated.
In the following July another electi n
took place and this time he was elected
by large majority. 1t was then a
matter of considerable controversy as
to who shared the expenses of Bright's
election as he was known to be very
poor man. The Corn league of Eng
land got the credit for it, but this
Bright denied in several strenuous
letters written at the time. In 1S47
he was returned to Parliament from
Manchester and again in 1852. In
1857, on account of i'll health he took
a trip abroad and in the autumn
another election was held and he was
defeated because Of his firm stand
taken against the British, who were 1T
that time forcing China TO do her bid
ding. He aptly stated then that Eng
land would live to see the day when
they would rue their acts in forcing
the entry of opium into China simply
to provide market for her India
product. In 1858 he took prominent
part in the overthrow of the Palmer
son cabinet, who were instrumental in
1.-The diabolical act" as Bright termed
it. 1t was then that he expressed his
desire to withdraw from politics and
the latter years of his life he has de-
voted to charitable rather than politi-
cal acts.

John Thomas, of Tacoma, was found
dead on the Pysht trail, in Clallam
county, Friday. His head was cut
open, and it is supposed he had fallen
from log, striking his head Oh an
axe. Mr.. Thomas was one of a few
composing a party of eight or ten
men who went to Pysht about Thurs
day last, with pack horses, provisions,
ETC., on the steamer Rip Van Wrinkle,
to locate timber for the Commercial
Mill Company, of Tacoma.
Arrangements have been made at
North Yakima for the building of an
other large brick hotel. The delay in
the completion of the Hotel Yakima,
and inability to accommodate the
travelling public, has made the new
hotel necessity. The building will be
put up by Yakima and Seattle capt.
talists, and will be one of the best in
the territory. 1t is understood that
Theodore Haines will be interested,
and have the management.

A WORTHY INDUsTRY.-A visit to
the Eas,side brickyard reveals the
pleasant fact that the world moves
even here. So far as this yard is con
cerned, the old-fashioned brick mould
er's occupation is gone. Steam is
turned on and iron hands kneed the
plastic clay, iron fingers deity manip-
ulate its removal into moulde, when
by q tremendous pressure the crude
mass is transformed in a trice into
dense emooth-faced bricks already for
burning. Pressed brick possess many
advantages over those made In the or
binary way. They are hard enough
when they come from the machine to
be laid into a solid wall and are almost
impervious to moisture. These
grounds, indeed, now present the ap-
pearance Of a full-aedged industrial es-
adjustment. A substantial building
has been erected to serve for engine
room and workshop. The shsill blast
of a steam whistle thrills the neighbor-
hood morning and evening, plainly
evidencing the fact that the managers
have settled down to regular business
BY this process Of manufacture, II
makes no difference whether the
"goose hangs high or low" as the
work can be carried on rain or shine
