Lightship No. 50 was towed into the
harbor yesterday by- the Tatoosh and
taken to the buoy Btation at Tongue
Point. The full extent of her injuries
cannot be determined until survey is
made. As she passed up the bay she
presented a forlorn appearince, her
smokestack being nearly over the board.
No. 67 has not yet gone to 50's station
and it is not known how soon repairs
can be completed on her so she will be
in condition to go. She has been at
the buoy dock for several weeks un
dergoing necessary repair, having been
brought from Umatilla ' reef for that
purpose. Further information as to the
cause of the accident is meagre but from
the small amount obtainable it appears
that after she was over the bar Pilot j
McVicar gave some instructions to the
captain of the Port Patrick as to his j
course. The ship had plenty of fail and ;
it appears that the wind must have j
headed her off as an hour after the tug j
and pilot left her she was in collision. ;
It is thought, from the way she acted !
and shaped her course that she is in-
jured and is making an attempt to reach t0 i.(in..Mh t., culllpit,tc , ,H)lirse
Puget Sound, and may be picked up by at t, ()r Agr:ultural Odlege.

ladies decided upon this one: "Resolved,
Tbut tho Farmer'. Wife Works Harder
than the Fanner," and took the nega
tive side, us might be expected, favoring
tho man in the case. The affirmative
win presented by Messrs. Xymun, An-
ilcr-oii unil Jhornijerry, ana uio nega
tive was supported by Mise JelTcrs,
l.einenwi'ber and Howard. Woman nev
er received greater sympathy from man,
nor more censure from her own sex,
than that which followed. The judges
met with liidiiMilty in deciding the miff

proved that the wife worked fully as
hard us the fanner, but did not succeed
in doing any more than that. Refresh

and all departed, each armed witu a

order to do full justice in welcoming
