ST. PETERS HospITAL.-The work OF
St. Peters hospital OF this city is en-
titled to the most liberal encourage
ment. 1t has been a blessing to the
afflicted and benefit to our business.
1t was not established nor has it been
maintained as a money-making insti-
tuition, but a means of aiding the af-
flicted and doing good. The purely
charitable work OF the institution more
than covers its profits. The receipts for
the past year have been $5,497 20 and
its disbursements $6,278.S0. There
were patients cared for on full pay GIT
days, on part pay 3, 543 days and with
ont pay 2,01l lays, the cost per day for
each patient being $l.Ol. The hospital
is indebtedto the amount of $3l 1884
and is sustained entirely by the labors
of the good sisters in charge.

THE WRIT DENIED.
Pierce County May Cali n Jury.
Says the Supreme Court.

The Supreme court has denied the
peremptory writ applied for by NJ. l.
Clifford to prevent Superior Judge
Parker and the county officials Of
Pierce county from impanneling a
Jury for the next term OF court, on the
ground that the county has exceeded
its limit of Indebtedness, and in dis
missing the case the court says:
the writ of prohibition prayed for
in the application could be properly
granted only by the announcement OF
a rule which, if followed to its logical
conclusion, would result in tying the
hands of many OF the Superior courts,
so that it would he impossible for
them to do any business whatever,
and it might also result in depriying
many of the municipalities in the
state Of the power to do any official
act. Such being the results which
might follow from the granting of the
peremptory writ, it should not be
granted unless the jurisdiction of the
court is clearly made to appear, and
the law applicable unto the case upon
the merits, is beyond reasonable ques-
| ton.
The evil to be prevented is so
small compared with the results which
might follow such prevention, that the
court should refuse 10 act unless
satisfied that the petitioner is entitled
to the relief prayed for. The granting
of writs of this kind rests in the sound
discretion Of the court and while it is
the duty to interfere in proper case,
it is not its duty to do so when either
its own jurisdiction or the fact that
the inferior court is proceeding with
out authority is not made 10 appear
beyond reasonable doubt.
"In our opinion they are not made
thus to appear in the case at bar
Hence the motion of respondent to
quash the writ and dismiss the case
must be granted 1t is not made clear
to appear that the Superior court is
about to do anything which this court
has the right to prohibit. The order
for summoning the jury has already
been made and it does not appear that
the Superior court and the Judge there
of is threatening to do any other act
connected with the summoning of the
jury or that it is necessary that he
should make any further order in con-
nection Herewith. This being so, the
case so far as the court or jury is con
cerned, falls within the rule already
announced by the State vs. Superior
court, 2 Wash, 8; Harbor Line Com,
VS.. state, 9 Wash, $50.
Regarding the county officers named
as defendants, the court says: "None
of the defendants are State officers
and it is at least open to serious ques-
ton whether the court has any original
Jurisdiction to grant any relief against
them. Besides, that which it is alleged
that each Of them is about to do, is
purely ministerial, and for that reason
it is at least doubtful whether the writ
of prohibition is the proper remedy tc
prevent the performance OF the threat
ened act.
The opinion was written by Chic
Justice Hoyt, signed by Justice Dun
bar, Scott, Anders and Gordon.

On the 18th inst. Senator Squire
proposed an amendment to the bill
" making appropriations for construc-
ton, repair and prosecution of certain
public works on rivers and harbOrs,
and for other purposes" as follows ::
Olympia harbor, Washington: con-
timing improvement, one hundred
thousand dollars" The amendment
was referred to the Committee on
Commerce and ordered to he printed.
In the Supec.ur Court, Saturday,
the case OF Pix vs.. Downs came up,
and on motion of defendant that part
OF the complaint which alleges that
he feloniously set fire to his house was
stricken out. If plaintiff can show
negligence in subduing the fire which
also destroyed plaintiffs house adjoin-
ing, he may sustain his suit, but
when the felonious attempt to destroy
property to secure the insurance is
eliminated, its force is greatly weak
ened. Pix's garnishment Of the insur-
ance stands against everything except
exempt property.
"Old Probs" is quite loquacious
this week. He says that, "The river
at Albany, Ore, had risen this morn
ing nearly five feet during the preced-
ing twenty-four hours, and was still
rising. The river at Eugene is fall
ing and will most likely continue to
fall. The river at Portland. it is pre-
dicted, will reach the danger line, tif-
teen feet, by midnight tonight, and
a rise OF one foot more will occur be-
fore noon Saturday (to-morrow.)" The
forecast for the next thirty-six hours
is Rain tonight; southerly winds
with gales along the coast. For Sat
urday, rain"
Galloway's popcorn stand. adioin-

Sunday night by some one cutting
away the panel of rear door until an
opening WAS affected large enough to
insert hand and draw the bolt
which held it. Nothing seems to
haze been taken, although an attempt
was made to open the drawer in
which about SIS was secreted. Whether
the sound of the bell, or some other
cause induced the burglar to give up
the search is, of course, u matter of
surmise, but the facts bear out the
statement that the thief received little
if any reward for his labor.

WAS the nerve Of Mrs. John Aten a few
evenings ago, who was stopped by a
footpad near the old brickyard, on
Fourth street, while on her way
home from town. The demand
"Hand over your money" was
emphasized by the presentation O.

plucky little woman did not hesitate
an instant, but brought her CLOSED
umbrella down with all her might or

the unexpected assault, as he immedi

Aten completed the parallel OF thu
plucky schoolmarm by fainting, afte

OF this organization, and it 10 in great
demand everywhere. From Spanish
father, Mr.. Souss inherits Spanish
terseness of rhythm. and from his
mother. German mysticism and deli
cate sentiment, while his Washington
birth and life, in spite of his name,
give him an American appreciation of
the rights of the people. He has made
his really superior band popular with
all classes by playing classic music as
it was never before treated by band,
and by giving with this same elevated
style also the simplest airs superbly
set, and many of his own justly famous
marches, which are now played by all
bands and most pianists all over Amer
lea and Europe.
