An impression has gained ground to
the effect that Mr.. Backman has en-
t;rely disposed of his pmprietorship in
the Rackman House. This is ineor-
rect. Mr.. / aekman has disposed of
only an interest in the house TO
Mr.. e, L. Fisher. This move was
made ayiththe design of charging the
the hotel by the addition of the first
class restaurant and dining raam to
be opened OH the ground floor in the
store room, formerly occupied by the
Peoples Palace. Mr.. and Mrs. Back
man together with Mr.. Fisher will
still maintain their supervis vision of the
entire establishment. >.e -
Mr.. w. Z. Ludlow, the gentlemanly
book-keeper of the Lafayette, received
from, Vienna yesterday an elegant
meerschaum pipe, weighing about a
pound and costing away UP. He will
only loan 1t to the nice boys down at
the Lafayette to smoke. Proposals
will he received ut Fuhr u Gerson's
office for coloring it, the successful
bidder to give bonds for the safe return
of the pipe.
Yesterday afternoon officer Twomey
arrested man for whipping his wife.
The parties live on Main street, near
Governor Downey's and the neighbors
complained Wife whipping is one of
|, she worst crimes in the calendar, be-
ing only exceeded by husband whip
ping. But then when man gets
whipped by his wife it is about time
to dissolve that partnership.
The st. Charles Hotel ispleparing q
tremendous hill of fare for Thanks
giving day. The bill of fare will be
embosse,lon satin and will contain all

edged dinner has never befole taken
place in any. .hatal Il, Los Angeles and
| we pretlict That the bOarders at the
| ST. Charles will be we'll pleased and
well Glled on Thanksgiving Day.
We were In error in stating that DIR.
Aborn would remain in hiscity dur
ing the Winter. 1t was a supposition
based on the knowledge of his exten-
i sive practice here, but we learn that
he has already remained too long
away from San FRANCISCO and that he
will stay in this city but few weeks
Longer.
The following were among the ship
ments yesterday from the Southern
Pacific Railroad depot: 122 lengths OF
gas pipe for the Tunnel, 100 joints OF

Anaheim from M. w. Childs; 30 sacks
of barley from Hellman, Haas & Co;
SO sacks of meal from Also mills.
Brode's grocery and prevision store
No. 81 Spring street, between Second

Everything from the cheapest staple
to the finest fancy groceries can be OBJ
tanned at Mr.. Brode's well known es-
tablishment.
