A CARD OF THANKS.

The husband and children of the late lament
ed Mrs A. J. Marsh hereby tender To- all friends
and peichbors who so kindly assisted and SYM
nathizcd with them and their deceased in this
great affection, their heartfelt gratitude and APP
probation. \. J. MARSH.
Mrs Marsh came 10 this city q little over two
wears ago with her husband, sou and daughter,

OF Erie county, Pa. was an active and highly
respecsed member of Seattle Lodge, l. O. g. I.

of health and spirits she was suddenly and
Sercely attacked with Ia grippe. which soon

channel. This is more than enough to &C
commodate the largest vessel on the
Sound.
The locks at the mouth Of the bay will
be worked automatically. Al q given
heighth of the tide the gates will open and
the tide dow in. As the waters recede
they will close of their own accord when
the amount OF water required has been
left in the channel. This part Of the plan
the committee will recommend to the en-
gineers upon their arrival.
The building Of the canal is looked for
ward to by the people of Ballard with con-
siderable interest. Every one appreciates
the fact that as soon as decp-water vessels
can dock on the water front Of the city,
the manufacture will increase in the vol
ume OF business and also in number.
It Is more than likely that the iron
works which Mr.. Dickson represents, will
be erected within a few months. This will
add considerable to the manufacturing
industries, as some forty or fifty men will
be given employment besides the new
buildings which will be erected to accom-
modate the workmen.
1t was understood yesterday that gov
eminent engineer would arrive from Port
land within the next few days to make
more extensive soundings of the mouth of
Salmon bay. He will bring apparatus
with him to bore deep into the soil beneath
the water 90 as to definitely decide the ma
ture of the bottom dredgers would have to
contend with in deepening the channel to
the open Sound.
All these movement 60 to show the i'm
portance of the city of Ballard. The peo-
pie NO are there realize it, and many are
now locating there in order to enjoy the
advantages the city possesses both as a
bushes location and home site. 1t does
not require any great outlay to secure
home site in Ballard. While this has not
been the lever which has propelled the
city in its rapid growth, it has been the
means of inducing many people to 60
there and build themselves homes.
Every one admits that Ballard is pro-
crossing and those who wish to be in q
prosperous community should invest there
and share the advancement which is going
on.

= Tenant Claims Big Damages for
Breach OF Contract.
A restraining order was issued yesterday
py Judge Lichsenberg, at the instance Of
s0nn z. Fletcher, to prevent Emma Nc
oiananan and I. ]. McCianahan from
transferring their right, title or interest in
twenty foot strip of land off the west end
OF lot 4, in block 2, Of this city, and pre-
venting the Columbia & Puget Sound
railway Company from consenting to a
transfer OF the property, until the case can
nave hearing on its merits in court.
Fletcher claims that on September / he
entered into possession of the two upper
stories Of the building on this property,
ana according to contract was to have
possession of the lower story on Novem-
Der |, but Emma McClanahan refused to
rellnquish possession, although the rent
had been rendered her in advance. He
states that on August z, 1880, he leased
this building from September 1, 1890, until
September "a, 1894, for the sum of $l4, 400,
but that the building is worth to him for
that time the sum of 81, 800, and by reason
OF the failure to give him possession he is
damaged to the extent of $27 800, the differ
ence between the price of his lease and the
value of the building to him.
On December, IL 1890. Fletcher brought
suit in the superior court against Emma
and T. ]. McClanahan for $27 800 damages
for refusing to give him possession of this
building. The case is set for trial in Judge
Osborn's court March "a.
Fletcher says the McClanahans are
about to transfer and dispose of their prop
erty for the purpose of puttingit out of the
way OF an execution. Judge Lichtenberg
granted temporary restraining order
npon Fletcher's giving an indemnifying
bond in the sum of $4,000. The order is
made returnable March q.

TO CARRY THE MAILS.
Advertising for Messenger Service Be-
tween ONCE and Wharves.


Yesterday Postmaster A. ~. Brookes re-
ceived from ]. Lowrie Bell. the second as
sistant postmaster general, an authoriza-
ton to advertise for the carrying of mails
by messenger service between the Office
here and the various steamboat landings
and railway stations of the city. This mes
senger route will be numbered 27i ,04S.
The proposals received here will be for
warded unopened to Washington. The
postmaster is instructed to report on the
character and responsibility of each bid
der, and also state whether any of the bid
ders are soldiers. The mails must be car
ried in covered and protected wagon.
At present the mails are delivered at the
office by the railway and steamboat COM
panies But this change will improve the
service by putting the carrying in the city
limits directly under the control of the de-
partment. This messenger service is the
usual thing in large cities.
