MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES !

San Francisco, October 19.-E, f.
Morgan's Sons have failed for a
large amount. The London and
San Francisco Bank is the largest
creditor. Their obligations were
incurred last year. The firm has
been acting as shipping agents of
Changers in this State and Oregon.
The losses OF the firm last year is
believed to have been very heavy,
principally through chartering ves-
sells to arrive at high figures, and
extreme rates paid for cargoes of
wheat.
There was considerable activity in
mining stocks to-day. Ophir rose
to So, the highest in some time-a
gain of six dollars from Saturday,
Consolidated Virginia rose to I02,
an advance of 4. California took
another flight up, her first run in
several days. Jacket and Savage
and Savage each rose three dollars;
Best IL Bclcher two, and Segregated
Belcher ten.
The Vasco de Cana, for China
and Japan, took four hundred thou
sand dollars in treasure and 32l
passengers.
A young man named n. Lebmer,
% years old, committed suicide to-
day by shooting himself through
the head. He left number of let
tiers, from which it appeared the in
difference of young woman upon
whom he had fixed his affections
was the cause. Deceased was
native of Norway, and Secretary of
the Buena Vista Vinicultural Society
of Sonoma.
Calistoga, CAL, October 19.-R. J.

Larkyns, had a preliminary exam
ination here to-day before Justice

on the decline.
Reno, Oct. 19.-The first exhibit
ton of the Nevada State Agricultural
and Mechanics Society will open
tomorrow and remain open the rest
of the week. 1t was intended to run
only three days, but from the large
number of entries made, the exhibit
ton promises to be so far in advance
of the most sanguine expectations of
the Trustees that they have decided
to hold it five days. The pavilion
is being rapidly fitted up, nearly all
the space is taken up, and more
room will have to be provided. The
exhibition of fruits, vegetables and
grains from the sage-brush State of
Nevada will astonish even our pio-
neep residents, while the exhibition
of stock will be credit to the So
ciety, in fact, would not be consid-
cred bad show tor many of the
older States. The race track is pre-
pared in splendid order, and a num-
Der of fast horses from California are
already here, and others are on the
road, and some good races may be-
expected. The Managing Commit
tee deserve great credit for the
energy they have displayed from the
organization of the Society, which is
sure to be made success of. Our
town is rapidly filling up with stran-
gers, and the hotels are making ar
rangements to accommodate all who
may attend. Trotting races to-mor-
row for horses that have never beat
$3.50, for purse of $500.
Hon. G. f. belong is now adj
dressing large audieoue on Vir-
ginia street.
