track, as one arm was cut off and his

The steamer Capital City may fairly
claim to have hoo-doo hanging over
her smoke-stack. From the time she
was christened she has been unfortu-
nate. Built for Alaskan service, she
was inadequate, and was sold to the
Wiley Navigation Co., as the best
means ofrealizing on bad speculation.
Since her service here began, she has
come very nigh burning up and has
had accident after accident, until it
has become unusual for a month to
elapse without some misfortune to
chronicle. The last OF these was a
break down at Tacoma yesterday and
failure to extend her trip to this city.
