DR.. Georges b irthd.y Celebrated.

Last night was the birthday, both Of Dr. W.
P. George and Mr.. R. winsor Many members
of the First Methodist Episcopal church heard
of the double event and determined to surprise
these men, wholive together and who have been
friends ever since DR.. George came to the United
States. They proceeded to the house in q body
and perpetrated on the genial clergyman and
his friend q genuine surprise. After the Wis.,
itors got into the house, an evening OF
jovial merriment was spent, and both men were
congratulated and lowered with the good
wishes of their friends. While the merriment
was at its height couple presented themselves
to DR. George to be united in the holy bonds of
matrimony. Thelady was Miss Mary Esser and
the gentleman Mr.. Thomas O'ConnelL D. L

RYE WHISKY WITH AGE.
A Soldiers Demijohn Found at Fol-
Steilacoom After twenty-five Years.

A Soldiers Demijohn Found at Fort
steilacoom After twenty-five Years.
Dr. J. B. Loughary, who has been the resident
physician at the Steilacoom asylum during DR..
Redpath's visit to the East, returned to the city
yesterday. He told a POST INrELLIGENcER re-
porter last night abont the discovery at Stella
COON Of a demijohn OF whisky supposed to
have been buried in the ground about twenty
five years ago.
Workmen were clearing ground about q mile
and a half from where the asylum now is, or
where Fort Steilacoom WAS, when they discov-
cred that some kind Of q cache had been made
among the roots of a large tree. Upon digging
down it was discovered that several boards
had been placed over a sort of scooped
out place or hollow in the ground.
The boards were removed and a four gallon
demijohn, the wicker work of which had de-
eayed aud fallen away, was discovered. The
cork had also fallen to pieces. and as the demi-
john lay upon its side had allowed portion of
the liquor to escape. The prize WAS taken to
town and the story of the discovery noised
abroad. The fact. that only gallon OF rye
whiskey remained prevented general sampling.
but those who were SO fortunate as to test the
article declared 1t to be very fine.
1t IL generally believed that the whisky 10
about twenty Ave or thirty years old, and was
hidden in the earth by one or more of the
soldiers who were quartered at Fort Steilacoom
IN the fuget sOuno itontler Gays. his tneory
fnds support in the facts that the fort has not
been garrisoned for the number of years named
and of late there has been little necessity of
hiding whisky. At the time the troops were
quartered at the fort old rye whisky was q
scarce article. and the greater part that was
obtained came originally from England.
The price being high and the liquor
scarce, it would naturally follow that
should any whisky be found lying around that
the soldiers would appropriate 1t for private use
Although it is improbable 1t would have been
forgotten yet the soldier or soldiers secreting 1t
might have been ordered to other places or even
have died, thus leaving it undisturbed to age
and furnish food for discussion and drink for
connoisseurs in after years. DR.. Loushary
brought with him four ounce sample bottle,
which he gave to q friend

Judge Lchtenberg yesterday granted Sidney
B. Vrooman, guardian Of the estate of John
Moore, an insane person, an order to COM
promise civil action against the Des Moines
City Improvement Company and other parties
over the title to property at Des Moines. The
guardian filed petition in which he set out
that Moore was sent to the insane asylum at
Steilacoom in March, 1879. Moore was at the
time the owner of forty acres of land, which
were in 1880 sold to John Murray ct delinquent
tax sale.
Afterwards the property came into the hands
of the defendants in the suit mentioned. vroo-
man, az guardian. brought suit to establish
Moore's title TO the land, but Judge Humes
sustained the demurrers of the defendants
setting up the statute OF limitations, more than
three years having expired after the tax sale.
The defendants, however, recognizing the suit
az a cloud on their title, agreed to effect a COM
promise for 5000 and the guardian asked leave
