Monday morning David Kerr's team, attached to a wagon, ran away from in front of Fitzgibbon's meat market, and the pole of the wagon struck two posts under the porch in front of Williamson fe Garrett's store, and the awning fell with a crash. But the team ran on, carrying a post with it, and in front of the Pacifio Ocean House the wagon was overturned, and tho horses became loosened. The team then ran into a post under the Swanton House porch, but this being stronger than those under William fc Garrett's, the porch remained, and one of the horses was thrown to the ground, where he was caught, and the team stopped. The wagon was badly smashed. Hot Salt Water Baths at the Neptune Bath House evory day.

Last Sunday afternoon one of the Hawaiian Princes jumped off the bridge, but did not accomplish the feat as gracefully as John did. When tho heir to the crown of Hawaii struck the water there was a "dull thud," and he came up gasping. His brother rushed into the water and pulled the prince out. His royal highness had a very narrow es-capo from being Injured, as the jump is a dangerous one, owing to the shallowness of the wator. An Indian athleto last week tried the same feat, and has been disabled ever since.

Sunday afternoon a young man named Davis, accompanied by his sister, and Miss Jennie Adair (of Nevada City) wore returning to their home on the Soquol road in a dog-cart. When on Bridgo street Davis got cut to fix the bit, which seemed to be giving the horse some trouble. While he was putting the bridlo in place the horse gave a plunge forward, and raised his head with such sudden force that the bit was broken. Then the animal broke away and ran towards the covered bridge, and when it was reached Miss Adair was thrown out, and dragged some distance be-foro her dress, which was caught on the step, became loosoned. The animal increased his gait, but Miss Davis held bravely on to the relnsand steered the horse as best she could, avoiding collisions, and reached hor home in safety.

Coming across the bridge when Miss Adair fell out, were Frank Dutton and George Col-grove lu a buggy, and but for Miss Davis having hold of Jthe reins their buggy would have boen run into. The gontleman went to the assistance of Miss Adair, who wished to be taken to Dr. Fagen's ofllce, where, after a careful examination, the Doctor said no bones were broken and the bruises received were merely superficial. The bruises were on the back of the head, the faoe and arms. Miss Adair was taken to her temporary home by Frank Dutton.

The race was closely contested and the swimmers kept almost together until within a short distance of the raft, when William forged ahead, and by several band over baud strokes rbacbed tho raft, and won the race by about throe feet.

The lime was tlx minutes and twenty-five seconds. Washington lodge, No. 2, Corry, was organized March 14, 1869. Franklin lodge, No. 3, was organ ized June 9, 1870, with twenty-seven charter members.

This lodge is located at Franklin, and at the ex piration of one year had two hundred and fifty members and a library of five hundred volumes. To this lodge Father Upchurch belongs, joining it in 1877. The cause of his transformation of membership may be briefly stated thus: In 1877 Mr. Upchurch was at work for the Cairo and St. Louis Railroad, running through Illinois.

The company, owing to stringency lhat year, paid its employees but twice. The founder of the order got behind in his dues to his lodge and was suspended, which would never have occurred in California. Franklin lodge, No. 3, hearing of this suspension, paid his dues and assessments, and asked for a card from Jefferson lodge, which was granted. The first Father Upchurch knew of his suspension was the reception of a communication asking for a power of uttorney for brother B.

Meyers to sign the constitution in the name of J. J. Upchurch. Franklin lodge paid the dues and assessments of Father Upchurch up to 1882, since which time he has not allowed his lodge to do so. In May, 1869, Father Upchurch received a communication from Dr.

A. J. Colvin, of Sierra City, Sierra Co making inquiry as to the objects of the order. The information was supplied and a lodge at the place named organized. In about two months Father Upchurch received a communication from the doctor, as Master Workman, requesting that the Grand lodge so amend the constitution as to prevent the immigration of the Chinese to America.

The answer was that no such change could be made, as the introduction of poll-tics into the order was prohibited by the constitution itself. The lodge died without giving further sign. The order, at the end of the first year, contained 25 members; at the end of tho second, 100; 4th, two branches, 800, and now 152,000. Mentioning 'the existence of two branches, wo will say that a secession occurred in 1870, the two branches existing till 1873, when a compromise was effected, the basis being a new constitution satisfactory to both wings. With the date of this union the growth of the order commenced in dead earnest, the increase at the present time being at the rate of about one thousand per month.

The membership of the order is limited to this continent, to the possessions of the United States and the territory of Great Britain. Applications have been made to introduce the order into England, Prussia and Australia, but the Supreme lodge is not convinced that the best time to do so has arrived. The first ritual of the order contained four degrees. The association was called the Ancient Order of United Worktnen because civilized man has to go back to ancient Mmes in order to give the origin and progress of the arts and sciences. The three epochs in the progressof the arts and scienoes are: First, Tubal Cain, the founder of the arts and sciences; 2d, the building of the City of Babylon; 3d, the building of Solomon's Temple, admitted by all to have been the perfection of the arts and sciences.

Amiuiature temple was used lu the initiation of candidates under the old constitution, and the trowel aud compass employed at that time were the working tools. The emblems of the officers at that time were the protractor and triangle. Only officers who perform clerical service in the Supreme or Grand lodge receive salary therefor. A small fund in each department is set aside to pay the necessary running expenses of the same. In 1S82 Father Upchurch was made a life member of the Suprome lodge, to receive the samo mileage and per diem paid Supreme Representatives, which is $3 per day during actual service and five cents per mile.

The representatives from California do not receive pay enough to pay their actual expenses. Mrs. Ryder and daughter left for their home in San Jose Monday. Capt. A.

He says further: "1 hope to succeed in raising enough of the needful to return to Santa Cruz to spend the remainder of my life, as I take a lively interest in ber prosperity. I gave a big western whoop for the fire boys when I read of noble victory." THE COUNTY HOSPITAL. What a Visit to Our County Institution Will Disclose to Everyone. "If you wish to try a woman's pa tience and see how much temper she has, visit her on wash-day." Now we do not know, nor does it make much difference who the authorof the above quotation is, but it was with some forebodings of fear that on Monday last we accepted an invitation from Supervisor Daubenbiss to visit the County Hospital for the purpose of seeing how affairs were being conducted under the present Board.

If the readers of the present day take the occasion to read the Grand Jury reports from various parts of the State they will invariably find the County Hospital condemned for its bad management, its filthy wards and its inhuman treatment of patients. Where one hospital is found which is conducted on true principles, ninety-nine will be found which merit condemnation. We were, however, prepared from previous reports of the Hospital Committee, to find a model hospital. No notice had been given to the steward and his wife of the visit by the committee and representative of the press, and Monday, wash-day, the most unfavorable day of the week, was selected by the committee for the visit. On arriving at the grounds we were at once conducted to the kitchen where Mrs.

Kingsley met the delegation with a look of genuine surprise, but she invited us in and at once the savory odor of bean soup, roast meat, reached our olfactory organs and made us believe that we were really hungry. The dining-room, bathroom, and different wards were all visited and every thing was found as neat as any housewife could wish to see. We took special pains to notice that the beds had been well aired, and the disagreeable odor which is almost invariably connected with institutions of this kind was perceptibly absent. The floors had been scrubbed and were as clean as the deck of a ship which had just been holystoned. The store-room seemed to be well supplied with flour, sufficient for some time to come.

The premises on tho outside present a cheerful appearance, all of the fences and outhouses having been whitewashed. The garden looks well and supplies the hospital with a sufficient quantity of vegetables for all their patients. We took occasion to ask two of the inmates if they were satisfied with their situation, and they responded that they were; that it was just like a home to them. Not wishing to detain the unfortunate patents from their dinner the delegation started for home, after taking a look at the table as it was spread for dinner. There seemed to bean abundance, and of such a character that we would not have hesitated to eat there (if we had been invited).

We claim, without fear of contradiction, that Santa Cruz county has the neatest, cleanest, best aud most economically conducted hospital in the State. We know, from personal experience, that hundreds of hotels can be found that do uot treat their guests as well, either as regards bod or board. The Hospital Committee deserve great credit for the work they are doing, and they can rest assured that the tax-payers of the county fully appreciate their labors. Supervisor lngalls is determined to keep the good work movingand will still further improve the place. Mr.

Kingsley and wife are the right porsous in the right place and they keep the hospital as they keep a home, neat, tidy aud of the lively scene. Mr. Hihn ap peared to be contented as he looked around and saw the improvements he had made within the past year. Mr. Berry is apparently meeting with good success as lessee of the Camp, and we don't wonder at it, as he is a popnlar host.

The excursion train brought many into Camp, which made the Camp look the liveliest of any day there this season. One day last week two young men, went in bathing at the mouth of the river, where the breakers were stronger than in front of the bathing houses. The following day the number of those diving through the break ers had Increased to six. On Sunday the exciting fun these six were having became noise about on the beach, and the conseauence was that in the afternoon there were over fifty bath ers diving through the breakers. Fruit-jars at Willey's Hardware Store.

A. V. Hall and John P. Cooper, in their great parts of "Mr. and Mrs.

Jumbo," created more amusement on the beach Sunday afternoon than at any time this season. When they first appeared on the shore in the Douglas House cart, drawn by a small donkey, a general roar went up from the spectators. The couple together looked as If they weighed half a ton. After driving up and down the beach the poor donkey became too tired to haul such a load any further, aud threw "Mrs. Jumbo" out of the cart in front of the Dolphin bath house.

Then "Mr. Jumbo" joined his better half, and they swam out to the Dolphin raft, which was too small to hold both, and as a consequence one would fall in the water while the other landed on the raft. When they jumped off the spring board they looked like inflated balloons. EDUCATIONAL.
