You can form a pretty good idea by running a cable road from ‘,Trinity church up Nash's Hill to Taylor avenue, and then commence and go up 5 another hill just as steep, and kmp on going for two or three miics.«witb streets running along the side bill, and‘yeu have Seattle. Itwlll almost make your hair stand on end to ride up and-down. I asked the conductor to let me of! as I looked up one of the bills, but he assur- ed me that there was hot apartlcls of danger. I thought. as I was away from home. I would believe him, and I am here yet. ’ This is adios city with 50,000 people, and a pushing lot of men behind it. If they can continue to borrow money in the east and in Europe it will grow, but it don't seem possible that they can find fools much longer. Millions have been sent into this state of Washington, which the senders will never more behold. Buildings that would do credit to New York city are standing here with nothing to hold them down but a mortgage, and now the poor fellows that made the loans are mourning the loss. But it is too late; the summer is past, etc. No trouble‘to make big cities it you can find fonts to , furnish the money. The tide rises at Seattle from eight to arm feet, and when it comes in it cov- ers thousandsvo'i acres of land tbntis dry when the tide is not. ‘A St. Louis con- tractor has made a contract to out. a channel from the Sound to Lake Wash- ington, adistance of about three miles. The earth from the excavation is to ill1 up the lists. The expense will be about six million. They throw millions around here as we do hundreds; but they get them much easier than we do. I came from Seattle to Tacoma. The latter is not so large a city as the former, but it is built after the same order—built on the hills. This city is a pet of the Northern Pacific railroad. I saw im- mense ships loading here for China and Japan, the most of them with flour and lumber. The flour is largely made at Spokane, and is made from soft wheat, the wheat costing from thirty to forty cents per bushel. The making of the flour is good business. One of the mil- lers told me he could clear thirty-five per cent. in the business. In these cities you meet so many men who are dead broke: men who at one time up posed they were well fixed for life time, now without a dollar. Some are acting in the capacity of jaultors in the build- ings they built. One poor fellow of Spo- kane had$60,000 in cash saved up. He 'put it in a‘buildiug and got a mortgage on it for $50,000. He lost it and now be and his wife are janitors in the same building. That is not an isolated case, for I have heard of several such cases out here. They take great chances, and it is not strange if sometimes they get left. Portland, Oregon, is an old town, and ‘ one of the best in the West. The people have been very conservative and it looks more like an eastern city.

Two huge salmon. embellshcd with lettuce leaves, covered with ice and re- clining on a stand back of the aquarium is Davenport's restaurant, were objects of admiration yesterday afternoon. On one was the placard, "Forty-cue pounds dressed,caught-by L. if. Davenport," The other was labeled. “Forty pounds, caughtby D. F. Wetzel.” The Chinook salmon were victims of half adny's fish- ng by the gentlemen named and were. captured about seven miles down the river. The guide of the expedition says he had a circus when the forty-one pound 'fish became connected with Davenport's hook. Lou backed upon the bank, with his rod bent double, per- spiration dripping from his face. ex- citedly yelling to the others to “Come and take of! my coat while I handle him.” The fish were both landed after three-quarters of an hour’s play.— Spokesman-Review. llElTll 0F JIHEB lllllllTllll. The End Game this Honing After a Very Short llluaefi James Hamilton, proprietor of the "Old Homestead" on South Main street and the Washington Hotel on Washing- ton street, died very suddenly at about 0 o'clock this morning. He was feeling miserably all day yesterday, and came from the “Old Homestead” to the Wash- ington Botchwhere he resided, several times during the day, saying how badly he felt. Dr. Bohannan was called last night and again this morning, Mr. Hamilton suffered all night with severe cramps. The cause of his death was muscular convulsions. The deceased was thirty-nix yoarsof age. He was born in Hilburn, N. J., and came to South Norwalk betwrsn fifteen and sixteen years ago. He was first employed as a hat finisher in Bol- mans‘ factory, and afterward went into business for himself in Music Hall block, and was also in partnership with his brother, Isaac Hamilton, conducting the Warwick House on North Main street. He then went to Jersey City, where he engaged in business. but returned to this city after six months. He opened the restaurant know as the Washington flo- tel, on East Washington street, or. year ago the first of next month. The "Old Homestead” was opened last month. Mrllamilton was well known and had many friends. He leaves a wife and four little daughters. the 'oldest of whom is eight years of age, to mourn their loss. His family are prostrate with grief. A telegraph message was sent this morn- ing to his mother in Milburn, conveying the sad intelligence of her son's death. He has threebrothers, John. of Boston; Daniel, of hillburn, and Isaac, of this city, and five sisters, Mrs. Robinson, of lfllburn: Airs. Sparks, of Lyon’s Farmsi N. J :Sarah, Mary and Louise, of bill- burn, where the family home is located. Idr. Hamilton‘s father died eight years ago. No arrangements have bee n made, as yet. for the :funeral.

NIANTIC, August 15th. 3' The principal event yesterday. and in which much interest centered, was the arrival of the commander-ln-cblef, which occurred at 11:80 o‘clock. The governor was met at the depot by General Havens and staff, and escorted by the Second Regiment to the camp gro'uod. Already visitors have arrived for governor's day. Among them are Captain Rose's wife and tard and Dudley Ely Raymond were the guests of Colonel Frost. The superhu- merary officer of the guard yesterday was Second Lieutenant H K. Betta. of ‘ Com- pany D. Battalion Sergeant Major Walter Hall was sergeant of the patrol last night, and with Lieutenant Colonel Crown in- hpected all the outposts from 12:40 to 3:45 o'clock, Tuesday, morning. The Fourth was found to be in excellent con- dition, and the First and Second regi- ments were good. The Third was very poor, however. and one man was found askep at his post, while several did not know the general orders. Captain Thompson, of the United States army, who was detailed by the secretary of war to inspect the Connecticut brigade, and instruct in guard duty, inspected the guard of the Fourth Regiment, Tues- day night, and made a very complime nt- ary report to General Haven, of the manner in which the Fourth Regiment performed the guard duties. saying that without discrimination. there was no better guard in camp. lisjir Sheridan undoubtedly has the most vicious horse in camp.

Quatermaster Brotherton, of C im- pany D, presumed to talk back to the in- specting odicer, yesterday, and promptly had his chevrons not ill, and was reduc- ed to the rankp. Ills successor has not yet been appointed, and it was impossi- ble to learn whether Private Broiberoon would be further punished or not, al- though the probabllitiea are be will not. Private Herbert Lincoln has been de- tailed to act as quartermaster dunng the encampment.

Samuel Story, the sixteen-year-old son of James Story, of Connecticut avenue, Norwaik, has been missing since two weeks ago last Tuesday. It was expect- edsvery day that he i would return, so nothing was said of his sudden depart- ure. From what a. Sherman reporter learned yesterday, however, it looks as though the lad had determined to take Horace Greeley’e advice and go west. Young Story was employed at Com- stock Brothers‘ Norwalk store as clerk, and though his duties were congenial, it iasaid that he was tired of clerking and had determinedto strike out for himself. He is a young man of exemplary habits. and was well liked by his associates. He ‘ was a member of Grace church Guild, and his many friends will no doubt be suprised to learn that he has run away. It is thought that Story, upon leaving town, had at least .75. He sold his Vic- tor bicycle to Samuel Walsh for $30, and is also thought he had about “liners. Ba took two suits of clothes with him on the night‘cfhis departure. Though his parents have not heard from hlrn, they think hsbas gone to Colorado, as he was fond of that country. The boy's father is one of the commit- tee of the Over River school district and is well known in town. Both be and Ira. Story are worried over their son’s prolonged absence. They have not even meived a letter from him. BURGLABS AGAIN. An Unsuccessful Attempt to Inter An- other Dnrien llssldancs. Burglare tried to gain an entrance into William J.

There are five houses situated in a row, and three out of the five have lately been visited by midnight marauders. com- mencing with the first one and going in turn to the next. A number of the citizens there now go to bed well armed. It is believed, also, that an attempt was made to burglaries the summer resi- dence of John I). Crimmins, at Collec- der's Point. The burglars were frightenv ed away before forcing an entrance. QUICKLY EXTINGUISIIED. A Spark from a Locomotive lots Fire to n lorwalls House.

Last night was great one for Greg- ory's Point, as. indeed, is every Wed. nesday evening, for on that night there is dancing, and the people fairly flock to this popular resort. Last evening bun- drede enjoyed tbe'music or tripped upon the polished floor of the pavilion to its inspiring strains. The odor of roast clams pervaded the atmosphere and sharpened tbs appetites to such an ex- tent that the dining-room waiters were busy supply ing the demand for sea food. About 0 o'clock a carrynll of Westport- ere arrived at the Point and mingled with the throng already present. Everett W. Tolles entertained a party of twenty-five young ladies and gentle- man. last night. at the hospitable home of his parents on East avenue, in honor of Frank Armstrong. of Boston, bir. Tol- les' room—mate at Wesleyan Academy. Music for dancing was furnished by Cal- vin i’usdy. and Mr. Armstrong rendered some superb selections on the comet. There was also chrd playing, and Mrs. Tolles provided one of bar suppers of de- licious dainties. Trolley cars brought the merry party back to South Norwalk. The bank lawn in front of the Benc- dlct tenement house on Riverside ave- nue, which was badly washed and gulli- ed by the recent rain, has been repaired. A liigbt of cement steps has been laid at the entrees to the premises, which, with the many other improvements recently made about the place, has conveer it into an attractive house and grounds. Complaint is made concerning a well- known East Norwalk man who beats his daughter in the street with a rawhide whip. Unless it is stopped, the neigh- bors threaten to complain to the flu- msne society.
