Mr.. Lille Hall Of this city, for Treas
urer.
Fred Gnyot, Warden OF the Fort
>tcilacoom Hospital for the Insane,
was in the city Wednesday. He re-
ported the number Of inmates of that
Institution at i1G. The proportion OF
the sexes represented hv these un.
fortunate patients is about one wo-
man to five men.
The steamer Multnomah, Aberdeen,
Monte Cristo and Beaver are all bene-
fitted by the capitol work. The three
former bring frequent signments OF
lime, cement and other supplies, while
the latter is engaged almost contin-
uously in towing the big scow-loads of
brick that are constantly required as
the work progresses.
The residence OF W. j. Abernethy,
at Independence, ten miles south OF
this place, was totally destroyed by
fire, Saturday, with most of its con-
tents. A little daughter of the fam
lily came very near being consumed
alive. The child's clothes took fire,
but were speedily extinguished by the
frantic mother. The building was
owned by Il. S. Weston, of this place.
At noon, Wednesday, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Il. NJ. Reed, ST.,
their daughter Emma, and DIR. &. w.
Ingham, were united in marriage,
Revs. T. J. Lamont and j. r. Thomp-
son performing the ceremony, in the
presence OF few intimate friends and
relatives. The rooms were beautifully
decorated for the occasion, in pink
and green. The newly welded pair
left by the Port Townsend Southern
at , 40 for California, where they ex-
pect to remain till June.
The Degree of Honor connected with
the State Grand Lodge, A. .. U. W., in
session in this city last week, elected
the following officers: Past Grand
Chief, Ida Boyer, Seattle; Grand
Chief, Mrs. Yoder, Chehalis; Grand

err, Mrs. Ross, Puyallup; Grand Re-
ceiver, Mary Johns, Olympia; Grand

The Miss Blanche Lamont, who
was so atrociously murdered in San
Francisco, last week, was a niece OF
Rev. T. J. Lamont, of this city, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church, and
daughter of a deceased brother,
David Lamont, of Dillon, Mont. She
was young lady of exemplary con-
duct and sweet disposition. A tele.
gram announcing the horrible tragedy
was received by Mr.. Lamont while his
congregation was gathering for Easter
services. The news spread rapidly
and the meeting dispersed. The
most profound sympathy exists for the
bereaved pastor.
Another tubular we'll is being driv-
en-. The prospector this time is ]. c.
Horr, who has begun Sinking shaft"
right in the bed of the ocean. The
drill is now at work near the first slip
at the west side of tho draw. The
contractors, Messrs. Bee.ley & Wood,
began operations last Monday. The
first twenty feet was driven in an
hour or two, as it was through the
mud which constitutes the home OF
the festive clam. Then came hard
stratum of soft sandstone, through
which the progress was comparatively
slow. They are now down at Il depth
of 100 feet, where water may be
struck at any moment.
1t seems that John Billings, who
has caused go much trouble to the pol
ice the past fortnight, was determined
not to obey the mandate of the court
to 60 hence, and not stand on the
order OF his going, but go at once.
Tuesday morning he was escorted to
the steamer Multnomah by Officer
Olleman and a ticket was purchased
for his department to Tacoma, but it
seems he reshipped on meeting the
City of Shelton, off Gull Harbor, and
when that steamer arrived he walked
ashore as cool and calm as if he had
come by special invitation of the
Mayor. He was sent of town again
the same evening, but it is extremely
uncertain whether he remains away.
Robt. Frost is in receipt of a letter
from Simeon Dock, brick mason
who formerly resided in this place
who is now in Los Angeles, Cal.
where person can live at extremely
small cost, if the advertise ment of q
penny lunch house, which he incloses
is an index to the charges of all grades
OF living. You can obtain at the es
tablishment referred to a beat sand
wich, a plate of beans, four slices o
bread, a doughnut, or coffee-cake, for
penny each, soup at 3 or 3 cents
plate and stew for the same price
For ten cents you can get a breakias
consisting OF sausage, Cor other meats,
: hot cakes Cor bread and potatoes
coffee and mush and milk. 1t seem
that nobody with any ambition t.
work need starve at those prices, TO
they afford a wide margin for chea
labor.
