The following appointments were made: Charles Tyson, hoseman «of Engine 1: Edward Downs, hoseman of Engine 4, and James Collins, hoseman of Engine 16. A petition was submitted from property owners and residents at Sunnyside asking that a chemical engine be stationed in that locality. The petition was ordered to be flled and the board expressed the opin- fon that the appropriation for this year could not stand a new .company there or anywhere else. —_———— GRAND JURY AT WORK.

At the latter place he was again taken sick, so he came back home. J.

The Mail Company has her sched- uled to sail for Hongkong via Honolulu and Yokohama, but the Government seems determined to keep her, and in that | event she will carry troops to Mantia. She is in first-class order and could be got ready to go to sea again in four or | five days at the outside. | _An opposition line to the Pacific Coast | Steamship Company_has started In the | Puget Sound trade.

The steamers will run direct to Tacoma and Seattle, and will connect at those points with other steamers for all Puget Sound ports. E. T. Kruse, the agent of the new line, and J.

The horse and wagon went down in the Falls of Af- ton's berth and as that vessel was ex- pected to dock inside of half an hour Assistant Chief Wharfinger Scott noti- filed O'Day and Meyer that they would have to get the wagon and harness up as quickly as possible. They failed to do so and the big 2000-ton ship is now on top of horse, harness and wagon. The British ship Vimelira, 157 days from Antwerp, had a rough trip of it.

Captain McMurtry is a mighty hunter and the cabin of the Corcoran is to be decorated with skins of antmals killed by him during his vacation.
