They Heard Musical Thunder.

Connecticut, the land of temperance and
steady habits, furnishes strange tale of a
natural phenomenon that startled the re-
Iigious people of Brookfield one Sunday
night recently. About the time for the
evening service. and when the congrega-
ton was awaiting the beginning of wor-
ship it began to storm in the distance, and
the shower rapidly approached until it was
directly overhead. Suddenly there was a
burst OF thunder, sounding somewhat like
a gong in different tones, and SO marked
were the musical notes as to be sweet and
almost buglelike. As quick as fash the
eyes of the congregation in the church
were directed to the ceiling, and the sup
pressed cry OF, Whats that7" could be
heard. Its thunder!" was the exclama-
ton All were startled, although some
were more frightened than Others. There
were those who, doubtless being little
conscience stricken. thought Of the final
reckoning.

TO WIDEN THE CHANNEL.
Ballard to Cut Away salmon Bay San,
bars.

D8148f0 10 Oub away SalmOu nay o0OO~
The work done by Engineer Eastwick
and his crew Of government surveyors
along Salmon bay and through the passage
to Lake Union has been the means of ex-
citing the citizens of Ballard TO the neees-
sity Of improving the harbor at once, even
if it must be done at the city's expense.
The entrance to the bay from the Sound
is of such a character that, it is said with
little expense the channel could be widened
sufficiently and the depth increased TO
such an extent that any vessel plying on
or entering the Sound could safely pass up
to the wharves of Ballard without as much
as touching the mud bottom at the lowest
tide.
Some few soundings have been made at
the entrance from the bay, and the result
shows the location Of the greater part Of
sand which would have to be moved. At
present the channel will only admit of
vessel drawing ten feet or less of water.
There are two arms which extend out from
the main land into the bay and leave only
narrow passage. A quick turn is re-
quired to be made in order TO escape going
aground. even at high tide, for both Of the
bars are under water when the tide is in.
The matter is to be brought before the
city council at their meeting March 3, and
an ordinance will probably be presented
for the widening of the channel so as to
increase the depth to at least fifteen feet at
low water.
Captain Holland, one of the members
of the city council, was asked about the
matter yesterday and said: 1.-THE work of
clearing the channel would be the best in
vestment the city could make, for at pres
ent no vessel drawing over ten feet of
water can enter the bay. The first day
that soundings can be made at low tide
committee will inspect the channel and
secure the estimate of some competent en-
gineer on the cost OF removing the obstruc-
tons. Once those bars are taken away
Ballard viii be one of the best ports on the
sound, for the tide rises sixteen feet here
and in going in and out would always keep
the channel clear of distractions. The
bars are Of a sandy nature and would not
cost much TO remove.
1.-THE question will be brought before the
council at the next meeting and / think
viii be favorably acted upon. The cost
would be but small matter when COM
pared with the benefits to be derived from
having harbor which any vessel could
enter and be absolutely safe from storms
There are number OF reasons why the
channel should be widened and If the
council will order the work done We will
have a channel over 200 feet wide to pass
through"
The soundings will hardly be made be-
fore next week as the tide is high during
the greater part OF the day just now.

DON'T MENTION 1T.


The most amusing and interesting fea-
ture of the meeting of the house of dele
gates last evening was the discussion upon
a resolution abolishing the use of the term
Whitechapel, as applied to that portion of
Seattle inhabited by our submerged one
tenth. The resolution presumed up
on the truth of the reports of the
police department that Whitechapel had
been raided and is rapidly being brought
into subsection. 1t was introduced by Mr..
Morford. and ran as follows:
WHEREAS, The police department OF our city
report that they have raided aud are endeayor-
ing TO suppress the evils III that quarter OF the
city which has become to be known as White
chapel; and realizing thst such name rs has
been applied TO this locality is in itself dis
grace to the whole city, detrimental TO IL com
merciaily and morally, bringing a blush of
shame to all when commented on by strangers;
Raolsed, BY this house, the board of aldermen
concurring, that all police officers and employees
OF the city IN making reports or In any matter
referring to this or any other district, are pro-
hibited from using this appellation or any other
of similar significance, but TO designate by
proper street names, etc, all localities, and that
all citizens are urged to abstain from using any
such sppellation, and especially the press of the
city viii discontinue its use.
Mr. Bagley said he concurred i'm the
sentiment. but doubted the fact that it had
been raided He believed that the worst
part OIL W 0itttuapSi fIdu uot pccu touCfiSl
Mr.. Lansing thought it nonsensical
resolution. 1--WE cannot put a bride on
the mouth of every man and woman III
Seattle"
President Jones acknowledged the pa
ternity of the resolution. He said he had
heard that Whitechapel had been wiped
out, and thought II a good tine TO get rid
of the offensive name, which he considered
a stain upon the city; that his property
was worth less than il would be if the term
were out of use.
The resolution passed the house and re-
ceiyed the concurrence of the board of
aldermen. In the board of aldermen korn
rose to question of privilege. He said he
had no desire TO muzzle the press. but
would like the board to express heir sense
OF the following resolution:
aThe daily newspapers, and particularly
the nees- Tncs. are respectfully requested
to discontinue publishing the police court
news and interviews upon the question OF
gambling and other houses of ill-repute
and their inhabitants"
Ii was agreed 10 informally.

A Seattle Citizen Receives Honors From
the Island Kingdom.
George K. Carter, of this city, was yester-
day surprised to receive long official en-.
velopc, with deep black border. bearing
the printed name, Department Of Foreign
Affairs, Kingdom of Hawaii" He was
still more surprised on opening it to End
that it contained letter, which read as
follows:
DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN ArrArss,i

the request Of his excelleney Hon. III. t. r. Car
ter, have appointed you Hawaiian consul Ut

sulate- Wishing you every success, have the
honor 70 be, Sir, your most obsdiant servant,
A GUINNESS,
George r. Carter, esq. Hawaiian Consul. seattle
Washington, u. 8. A.
Mr. Carter communicated the momen-
tous news to his friends at the Rainier
CLUB. and they, with due appreciation of
the fact that they were honored with the
company Of distinguished diplomat, adj
dressed him with low obeisance as .syour
exceilency," some, who ignored the fine
distinctions OF rank which prevail in the
effete monarchies Of the Pacific ocean, even
adopting the formula .your royal high
ness" Mr.. Carter's head was, however.
not turned by the honor thus thrust upon
him, and assumed his new title with be-
coming modesty.
Speaking of his appointment to a Posr-
IsTgLLfGENcER reporter, Mr.. Carter said:
1.-THE appointment is purely honorary
one, and involves no great amount of re-
sponsibiiity. The only advantage is that
IT will exempt me from jury duty. My
father, who is Hawaiian minister TO this
country, told me some time ago that he
would recommend my appointment and
suppose this letter is the result of his rec
onirnendatiop. My duties will only be to
sign ships papers whenever one clears
from this port for Hawaii, and perhaps
bail out any Hawaiian who happens TO get
into trouble here. at the risk OF losing my
bail. However, / shall not know exactly
what my duties are until receive my in
structions from the consul general. OF
course appreciate the appointment as a
compliment.
