The Eastside brewery building built
and equipped about fifteen years ago
by y. Hosneider, and which, while
presenting an excellent product Of
beer, was never a success, and was
finally dismantled and abandoned, has
lately been placed in repair and occu-
pied as a dwelling. 1t is now the
property of Mrs. Mary NJ. Miller, of
Seattle.
Workmen are engaged in placing
the Block system of railroad signals
in the backyard of this city. The
depot tower has been erected at the
south end Of the platform. w. b.

If Andrew Hume, of the Olympia
Door Co. had not happened to 60 to
his home on Central street Wednesday
morning, about 10 o'clock, it would
undoubtedly have been consumed, for
on his arrival he found the flames
bursting through the roof near the
chimney. AS it was, the application
of few buckets of water saved the
building and household effects.
Gen. Hazard Stevens addressed the
High school students yesterday, by
invitation OF Supt. Montgomery. His
address was a retrospect OF school
work in this city, for which subject the

sent a comprehensive address. The
General WAS school boy in Olympia
when his father was Governor, in the
sos, and has been at times a resident
ever since.

The Olympian fills half column of
its valuable space in detailing how
Frank McFadden. while digging CLANS,
was caught by the tide, and had mar
row escape from drowning. When we
consider that "Mac" is an old-timer
and to "the manor born" we find
some difficulty in swallowing this
story Of tenderfoot. 1t may have
been, however, that a mistake had
been made in " bait"-but that is hard
ly probable.
James T. Overhultz, laborer at the
Westside sawmill, narrowly escaped
death while at work Wednesday. His
left thigh was caught in q cog-wheei,
and it was only through the presence
of mind of the victim that he escaped
being torn to pieces by the machinery.
With a superhuman effort he kept his
body from being drawn into the ma
chinery. In doing so five inches of
flesh were torn away from his thigh.
He is resting easily to day.
Capt. Zaddart must have been gaff-
ing the reporter OF one Of our wide
awake dailies when he told him that
our floral decorations on Presidential
day far excelled those on the same
occasion in California. The Los Ang.
elias Times is before us, with half-tone
illustrations OF the floral decorations
and floats there, and they were gor-
geous in extent and equisite in beauty.
Our display was good enough, con-
sidering the season, without drawing
invidious comparisons.
