Chief Savidge arrested this morning

Capelli, James Conncrs, Henry Long
and Paul Stone, charged with having
stolen from Room 8, Halstead House.
Tacoma, last night, the sum of $50
and gold watch, from a fellow ledger.
They will be held for identification
and proof.
Messrs. Allen & Hardness are erect
ing large two-story building on the
corner OF Third and Adams streets.
The ground floor is to be used by
themselves for a machine shop and
the upper room by Mr.. Sternberg for
a cabinet-making establishment. 1t
is the intention, soon rs possible, to
add a foundry to the former business.
Several propositions are before the
City Council for authority to establish
new enterprises. One of these is for
an introduction of the incandescent
light system, another for district
telegraph, and still another for cleo
trical call boxes. 1t is quite probable
that all those conveniences will be
established at an early day, which
indicates the rapid strides we are
making in the line of progress.
1t seems that there will be con-
test as to who is School Director from
the Westside. sami. c. Woodruff
undoubtedly, rec ived a majority of the
votes cast at the late election, but
the ballot was declared illegal, from
some iniormality, and certificate was
issued by the County Superintendent
to Mr.. 4. B. Woo ard, on recommen-
dation of the rema ling directors, who
likewise served as .udges of Election.
About the neate and best restaur-
ant in the northwest has been opened
on Main street, near Fourth, by Lar
ry Cormier, and is to be known as the
Washington. Mr.. Cormier has DEM
Onstrated that he is pre-eminently the
man to run a restaurant by the sue
cess he has made OF the Gold Bar, but
this ambition did not stop there, and
he now proposes to surpass even his
own efforts. Try the Washington, if
you want a truly first-class meal.
The Rhines ballot-box has been on
exhibition at the Carlton House the
past few days. 1t is an ingenious
mechanical contrivance, with rows of
colored keys, upon the tops of which
are printed the names OF all the diff
ferent candidates. The voter simply
presses the keys bearing the names of
candidates of his choice, and the ma
chine acting automatically, records
and numbers the votes. The agent is
here with view of presenting its
merits to the Legislature, with view
to its adoption by the State.
Monday evening fly individual ate
his supper at the Gold Bar restaurant.
There is nothing unusual or strange
about that, but tho actions which fol-
lowed are little out of the usually
staid order and decorum which is
characteristic of that establishment.
On departing the +. j. confidentially
remarked to the attendant who runs
the bell register My friend will pay
for both," and as he had sat with a
companion, the clerk, of course,
thought it was all right. But the
+. l., as is usual in such matters, over
did the matter. AS he passed the rack
he coolly appropriated an Overcoat,
which happened to be the identical
garment owned by the already vic
timized guest. He saw the act, and
with a mild Pardon me, you have
made a mistake and taken the wrong
coat" endeavored to correct what he
supposed to be an error. The t. j.
quickly skipped out of the door with
the garment, and that is the last that
has been heard Of either him or it.
The ballot for long and short term
Judges of the Supreme Court took
place Wednesday, at the Office of Pro-
bate Judge Root, in this city. Judge
John P. Hoyt, of King county, won
the single seven-year term. Judge
Theodore L. Stiles, of Pierce county, and
Judge Ralph 0. Dunbar, of Klickitat,
won the five-year terms. Judge
Elmon Scott, OF Garfield, and Judge
Thomas J. Anders, of Walla Walla,
won the three-year terms. Either
Scott or Anders being eligible to selec-
ton as Chief Justice, the former re-
quested that the vote be cast for An
ders, who being his senior is better
adapted to fill the chair. Accordingly
Anders was SO elected. Sol. Smith, of
Klickitat, was elected Clerk of the
Court. Organization was completed
by the adoption of the rules of proce-
dure Of the Territorial Court, as far as
they are applicable, and subject to
change at any time. The court will
meet on the first Monday in January,
1890.
