(From Wednesday, s DaiIy5

l Cards have been received from vari-
 ous points from pr. and Mrs. Myers.
 On their way East they made many
 breaks in their journey. They s,op-
 ped in Seattle, Salt Lake, Ogden,
 Denver and Kansas City. From the
 last named point they veered from | their journey eastward to visit Mrs. l Myers home in Iowa, Dr. Myers
 home in northern Missouri, and the
 college from which they both gradu-
 ited. From there they resumed their
 trip to New York, being last heard
 from as they were leaving St. Louis.
 In New York City, Dr. Myers will l lttend to some personal business and slso look into some matters that will 'ender him more valuable as physi- sian, in the meanwhile looking up old friends and acquaintances in the me- | tropolis. On their return trip they will stop at Detroit and Chicago,
 where the Doctor will gather some more new ideas and apparatus relat- ng to his profession. They expect to cave the barbarisms of the East be- hind them very soon, and plan to re- urn to Gods country and civilization n Alaska about the middle of Novem- Der. Dr Myers writes that he is en- toying his honeymoon immensely. Drowned. While the Dolphin was loading fresh halibut at scow bay in Wrangell narrows on her last trip down, sailor named Albert Knudsen fell overheard and was drowned. It appears that in trying to grapple with one of the boxes that was being hoist ed on board he lost his hold and fell forward into the water between the steamer and the scow, striking the latter in the descent by which he was rendered incapable of assisting him. self, with the result that he sank al- most immediately. The body was re- covered and taken to his late home on the ship from which he fell to his death.
 Capt. Forss insists that it is all a mistake about the Elk having lowed the Teddy any part of the way from Hadley last Monday night. It's mere- y question ot veracity which The Miner not having had representa- tive on either craft, feels itself unable to decide.
 Meetings Discontinued. The attend ance at the meetings at Young's hall, newtown, does not warrant continuing them through the week. The next meeting will be Sunday night. All are welcome.
 Some Potato.-C. c. Carroll, who lives on Poverty Row not far from the court house, brought into this office potato grown In his yard, which tips the scale at the three pounds and quarter notch, and it hasn't been a very good season for potatoes either.
 Astonished uls.-There were not three, but half dozen gulls, consecu- tirely one after another on the rim of the tug Maron's smoke stack the other day, and they were white as gulls could be. In the same order, after the style of gulls, another gull came along and knocked his predeces- sor off, the latter falling into the smoke stack, from which It was notic- ed by gentleman that he did not emerge. An investigation sho we'd the presence of half dozen birds that had thus been displaced from their perch, resting at the bottom of the stack, which when fshed out were as black as half dozen crows could be. When taken out they were dropped into the water near by, and were either unable to fly, or else deemed it their
 first duty to wash themselves, which they proceeded at once to do, dipping and splashing in the water, only stop ping occas ionally to take a glimpse at their soiled plumage.
 Progressing. Work. on the Edmund street improvement is progressing as favorably as the weather will admit, with the promise of being ere long completed to an intersection with Dock street in the rear of St. Johns hospital It's upper end is at Grant street in front of the court house, and though thoroughfare, it will have steps enough to weary the most pa tient pedestrian of ID He age.
