GUNPowDER PLOT-The residents of the
upper portion of this city, were startled last
evening about o'clock by a tremendous
shock, which shook the ground and build
ingS for several squares around the spot,
from whence proceeded a frightful gunpow-
der explosion. This occurrence happened
at a small cottage in Pike street, between
CLAW and Sacramento streets On repair
ing to the spot, we learned that a sack of
powder containing several pounds had been
placed upon the porch or stoop in front of
the house, and fred off The windows of
the house were blown in and much Of the
furniture inside was destroyed by the force
of the explosion. The house was occupied
by French woman, named Fanny Per-
rier. A servant in the house, a French
man, was in the act of taking up the sack
of powder when it exploded, and he was Sc
verely burned about the face and hands, but
is net fatally injured. The manner in which
fire was communicated to the powder is a
mystery, as the sack was discovered and the
servant was about removing it when the
explosion occurred.
Madame Perrier charged the crime upon
Judge MCGOWAN, and Immediately came
down to the Marshal Office and procured
a warrant for his arrest-upon a charge of
assault, with intent to commit murder
The Judge was taken into custody, and re-
leased upon bail, which was fixed at So, 900.
A hearing of the case will be had to-day in
the Recorders court. Alta Cal.

Didn't See him Drink.

Last tuesday we were applied TO ov
an irishman for a Warrsu, against one
Peter Colins-Iri,hman- that the
sad Peter, last Sunday, hammered, beat,
wounded and bruised said eompl ainant.
Upon questioning him we learned that
Peter was disgraeefully drunk as well
as ugly. So we made out a Warrant FOR
drunkenness as also one Tor assault, and
battery, Peter was arrested upon the
latter and brought before Justice Somerby.
On being arrsigned he plead guilty aud
was fined three dollars and cost, Peter
probably supposed that was The end Of it,
# 50 he was mistaken, for we instantly
ordered the officer TO arrest him on com.
plain, for Drunkenness. That moment
there was fu,ter among the Irish in
attendance. Even the complainant, did
not like this phase the case was assuming.
and when called upon TO be sworn, would
not for some time hold up his hand, bu,
kept saying-"l didn't see him drink"
After some trouble the witnesses were
sworn, hut not word could be got out
OF them butt didn', see him drink,
But we finally sen, for William Durfee, "a
very honest lrishman. and he told
straight forward story; h ow Peter pulled
off his shirt in the street, aud when they
tried to &c: him home, how Peter rayed
aud reared aud plunged about Mr.
Howard also testified 10 much the same
thing. The result vas tina, Peter was
sen, to Jail for thirty days, which we hone
will learn him better than to pull off his
shir, again in the stree, on Sunday.
Since the above WAS in type We learn
that Peter has appealed and gwen bond
as provided by law. He probably IN
tends forfeiting the r.ccgizance rather
than lay i'll jail 80 days. Rather costly,
this getting drunk these times.
