Death on the Tide Flat - Billy HICKS, While Bathing, is Seized with Cramps and Drowns. --- A sad drowning accident occurred in the Bay at the Globe saw mill, last evening. William HICKS, an oiler at the B.B.I. company's mill, and Jack WEBSTER, one of the engineers of the same institution, started out after the mill closed to take a bath. They entered the Globe mill, which is shut down at the present time, and undressing, at once jumped into the water. Both were excellent swimmers. After swimming around for a few minutes, HICKS climbed up on a log to take a rest. While sitting there he was seized with cramps, and tumbled off the log into the water. WEBSTER was swimming around near by, but thought HICKS was swimming on his back, and did not pay any attention till he noticed that he was sinking. He was too far off to reach the unfortunate man before he sank.
  WEBSTER at once gave the alarm, and the men from COOPER's mill rushed to the spot, and diving for the body at once commenced. The water at the spot is about twelve feet deep, and it was ten minutes before HICKS was found and brought to the surface. By this time life was extinct, and though medical assistance was summoned and every possible means used to bring about resuscitation, it was of no avail.
  The deceased was familiarly known as Billy HICKS, and appears to have been a general favorite among his associates. He is a brother of Master Mechanic HICKS, of the mill in which he worked, and came to the city about thirteen months ago. Since that time he has worked as oiler in the mill. His mother and two sisters live in Tacoma. A telegram was sent apprising them of the sad event, and the body was taken to the rooms of Undertaker BRACKETT to await the arrival of his mother and sisters in the city, when it will be decided where the remains will be interred.

At the corner, the regular motorman, WOODARD, had been compelled to leave on business, and KAGEY a man whom he had been "breaking in" was in charge. As KAGEY neared the Great Northern railway crossinq he stopped. Then just on the other side he noticed some boys playing ball. Knowing the spirit of bravado of the boys whom he had seen before, he aqain slowed up. Just as the car got opposite the boys, the ball went across the track and one of them named Matt JOHNSON went in pursuit of it. The boy was quick, but just between the rails he slipped and fell. The motorman tried to stop the car but it was too late, and the wheels struck the boy's legs above the knee, cutting one off altogether and bruising the other terribly. The car was stopped and the boy extricated. He was a brave little fellow, and as he was carried into Jack FAY's saloon scarcely made a whimper. From there he was taken to the hospital where every attention was given him but all to no purpose; he died at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Little Matt JOHNSON was only 11 years old and was the son of Martin JOHNSON, a Fairhaven dairyman. The little fellow was playing with Harry SIMPSON, Mart JOHNSON and Irwin SIMPSON at the time.

     Death. Mrs. Laura Belle DORR, wife of the well known attorney, C. W. DORR, of this city, died yesterday, Friday, Sept. 3, at 6:30 p.m., after a lingering illness of some months, the result of an attack of la grippe in the winter of 1891. She spent last winter in southern California, and received some benefit from the climate of that region; but the dread disease had too well begun its work, and after her return to New Whatcom early in June, she continued to decline until her death, last evening.
     Mrs. DORR was born at Winterset, Iowa, December 14, 1857, where her parents, W. W. McKNIGHT and Mrs. Hannah McKNIGHT, still live. She was married to C. W. DORR at her home in Winterset, Iowa, November 25, 1880, and thereafter she and her husband resided at Des Moines, Iowa, until the year 1888 when they moved to Washington and settled in Sehome, where they have since resided.
     Mrs. DORR is the mother of four children, three of whom are living, Alice, Fred, and Eugene, aged respectively 8, 6, and 4 years. She has been a member of the Presbyterian church for some years, and united with the Sehome Presbyterian church immediately upon settling in that place. She was a most devoted wife and mother, and a lady possessed of all the virtues of true womanhood. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to Mr. DORR and his children in this their great affliction. The funeral will take place Sunday, Sept. 4, at 4:30 p.m. at the family residence, on Garden street, in this city.

Lulu JOHNSON Dies From Injuries Received in a Runaway Accident.

A fatal accident occurred near Ferndale, yesterday morning. Lulu, the 12-year-old daughter of F. W. JOHNSON, was thrown from a wagon drawn by a team of runaway horses and almost instantly killed.Lula [sic] and her sister Lena left the lumber camp owned by their father early in the morning and went over to the residence of Mr. MILLER who owns a ranch nearby. At about 9 o'clock they were ready to go back home, and as one of Mr. MILLER's sons was driving to Ferndale, they were given a seat in the lumber wagon. The horses became frightened, the boy lost control of them, and a run away was the consequence. The boy jumped from the wagon and escaped unhurt, but the girls were thrown out, and Lulu the eldest, so badly injured that she died by the roadside before anyone reached her. Lena, who is 9 years old, was picked up and carried to her father's came and medical assistance secured from Ferndale. She appeared to be suffering a great deal, and a message was soon dispatched to Whatcom for doctors. At the latest accounts she was still alive and her recovery was expected. The team that ran away is a bad one. Mr. MILLER himself is still limping from a broken leg received in a similar accident some time ago. The JOHNSONs are well known in the neighborhood, and little Lulu was a bright little girl, and a general favorite in the camp.

Death Of A Pioneer. Captain Edward ELDRIDGE Passes Away. The Early Life and Struggles of One of the Leading Men of Washington -- Sailor, Soldier, Farmer, Statesman and Banker -- Forty Years on the Shores of Puget Sound. The Last Sad Rites ?

     Hon. Edward ELDRIDGE died at his residence in this city, yesterday afternoon, at 3 p.m., of paresis, aged 63 years.
     Edward ELDRIDGE was born at St. Andrews, Scotland, in 1828. When but a lad of 13 he went to sea and followed the life of a sailor, until the discovery of gold in California in 1849. Landing in San Francisco in October of that year from the ship Tonquin, he caught the gold fever and started for Yuba, where he dug for the shining metal for twelve months. He next found employment for a year and a half on the Pacific mail steamer Tennessee. At the end of that time, determining to settle down, he married and went to Yreka. He was not, however, satisfied there, nor at San Francisco, where he subsequently returned, and in May, 1853, he removed to Puget Sound. He came with Captain ROEDER, who was bringing up machinery to establish a sawmill at Bellingham Bay. He located at Whatcom, whose entire population at that ,time consisted of twelve men working the mill. He also found employment there for a short time, his wife, who was the first white female that settled in Whatcom county, doing the cooking for the party. He took up a donation claim of half a section of land adjoining that of Captain ROEDER, on the front of Bellingham Bay. He arrived on the Sound in time to take part in the Indian war, and served in Company H under Captain PEABODY and in the battalion commanded by Major VAN BOKELLEN. He was also, himself, in command of a company that guarded Whatcom and the newly opened coal mines there. In a public capacity he has served almost continuously in different county and state offices. After being in the legislature for some time he was speaker of the house in 1866/67, and presided over the conventions that nominated DENNY, FLANDERS and GARFIELD to congress. In 1878 he was one of the delegates at large in the territorial constitutional convention held at Walla Walla, and was also a member of the constitutional convention of 1889 at Olympia. Mr. ELDRIDGE was a democrat in politics up to the time that Fort Sumpter was fired on, and since then has been a stalwart Republican. . . . He was married in 1852 at San Francisco to Miss Teresa LAPPIN, a native of Ireland.
     Captain ELDRIDGE, as he was called at home, came to Whatcom a very young man, without money, and when each pioneer was struggling to existence, and in no condition to render much aid to others. He died, forty years later, rich and full of years and honors. In the early days he worked for the coal company, then operating on Bellingham bay, and cleared his farm, doing the greater part of the manual labor himself. He filled several of the county offices, and was considered the leading citizen of Whatcom county. The last honor given him was by the republicans of the state in making him one of the eight delegates to the national republican convention at Minneapolis, which nominated Benjamin HARRISON for president. Upon the revival of business upon Bellingham bay, and the growth of New Whatcom and Fairhaven, he fell easily into the new order of things, and was at the front in every public enterprise. He was, at the time of death, president of the Bellingham Bay National Bank, president of the water company, of the gas company, and of the Bellingham Bay & Eastern Railroad company. He leaves a wife; a son, Hugh, a daughter, Mrs. J. J. EDENS, of Guemes island; and three grandchildren by his eldest daughter, deceased. . . . He was among the foremost advocates of female suffrage on the Pacific coast, and delivered a memorable speech upon that subject in the constitutional convention, but realizing the futility of having female suffrage recognized, did not press his views. He was the author of a brief, but graphic history of Whatcom county, published in the Reveille and of many important papers.
