served fuller report than we have room to give

the indictment against Mr.. Cla6in's firm was so
loosely drawn that, much as his clients desired
to go to trial on the merits of their case, his
LAWYERS could not consent TO it.

II has been well known for long time that
the old squad of Police Detectives protected
more rogues than they arrested. Judging from
the rcport of Commissioner Howe, as submit
ted TO the Committee on Crime yesterday, of
the amounts of recovered property they had
turned over to the city, it may be concluded
also that some, at least, of them kept more
than they squandercd on the city.

THE VIRGINIA CITY DISASTER.
Hundreds OF Families are Homeless and
Hungry.
Loss $1,000 900, Covered by $4,000 900
Insurance.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 2S.--Ap-
proXimate figures from Insurance COM
panles place the losses sustained by
them In the neighborhoGd of 81 zoo, 900.
Among the heaviest are the .lEtna,
Imperial, Queen and Commercial I'm.
ion, about 1907 each; North British
and Mercantile, 100000; London AS
surance, $4,000; Hartford and Phmnix,
about 5000 each, and other Eastern
and foreign companies for smaller
amounts, Among the local companies
the Commercial loses 500, 10000, Home
Mutual $4,000, and Firemens' Fund
$4,000. None of the companies admit
that they are at all embarrassed by the
losses.
A dispatch from Los Angeles prom.
ises liberal subscriptions of money and
supplies.
A dispatch from Virginia City SAYS
1t is impossible at present to state the
loss of life occasioned by the fire. Two
men Were killed ON G street, and there
are numerous rumors of other casual
ties. Hundreds of families are home
less and hungry.
The schoolhouses are the only public
buildings left unframed, and they are
open to the people, but If immediate
relief is not extended much suffering
will ensue.
Utter decentralization reigns in the
city. Men, women and children are
wandering about the streets seeking
for shelter, and the surrounding hills
are dotted with camp fires. The streets
are alive with drunken mob, and the
military are parading the streets to
protect property.
No definite advices have been re-
oeived as to the extent of the damage.
Several ming companies are involved
in loss from three to four million dol
lars.
VIRGINIA CITY, October 2s.--The
best business men estimate the loss at
seven and half million dollars.
0ne-third of the insurance Is In for
eign companies.
A large number of women and chill
dren have been sent to adjacent places.
Safes are being pulled out of The
flames. The vaults of the Bank of
California are safe.
Last night shaft in the Andes
mine was burning column OF flames
one hundred and fifty feet high. II is
believed it will burn out the shaft and
go no further.
Insurance will reach two million
dollars, and it is feared one or two
local companies will go under.
Mackay, of the firm of Flood 4
0'Brien, says no ore will be hoisted
from the damaged mines before next
spring. This throws two thousand
five hundred miners out of employ
ment.

The Presidents Thanksgiving Pr0cla.
matiOn--POstal Arrangements.

WASHINGTON, October %. Arrange
ments are in progress for q fast mail
from Washington to New Orleans.
The route will pass through Danville,
Charlotte and Atlanta, and will save
seven and a half hours between WASH
ington and Columbia, South Carolina.
Senator Patterson is urging the matter.
The following Is the Thanksgiving
proclamation of the President:
In accordance with q practice, at
once wise and beautiful, we have been
accustomed as the year 10 drawing to
q close, to devote an occasion to an
humble expression of our thanks to
Almighty God for the ceasless and
distinguished benefits bestowed upon
us as nation, and for his mercies and
protection. During the closing year,
amid the rich and free enjoyment of
all our advantages, We should not for
get the source from where they are all
derived, and the extent of our obliga-
tons to the Father of all mercies. We
have full reason to renew our thanks
to Almighty God for favors bestowed
upon us during the past year by his
continuing mercy. Civil and relig-
ious liberty have been maintaiAed,
peace has reigned within our bor-
ders, labor and enterprise have
produced their merited rewards and
to His watchful providence we are in
debted for security from pistelence and
other national calamities. Apart from
national blessings, each individual
among us has occasion to thoughtfdlly
recall and devoutly recognize the
favors and protection which he has
enjoyed.
Now, therefore, /, Ulysses s. Grant,
President of the United States, do
recommend that on Thursday, the 25th
day of November, the people of the
United States, abstaining from all Sec
ular pursuits from their accustomed
avocations, do assemble in their re-
spective places of worship, and In such
form as may seem most appropriate In
their own hearts offer to Almighty
God their acknowledgements and
thanks for all His blessings, and their
humble prayers for a continuance Of
His divine favor.
In witness whereof i have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done at
the city of Washington this, 9th day
of October, In the year OF our Lord
1875. and of the independence of the
United States the one hundredth. ~
