in bed at the time, in another room,
thought that the boilers in the Ophir
works had blown up, and rushed out
to see the extent of the damage done,
when they found Miss ellis more dead
than alive. and their little daughter
bleeding profusely from Il wound in
the head. Medical assistance was inn
mediately summoned, and all done
that could be for the relief of the suf-
ferers. A barbed piece of glass, about
three inches long, was taken from the
head Of the little girl, where it was
firmly imbeded under the scalp.
Many other smaller pieces were also
extracted. Miss ellis external in
juries were slight, she having re-
ceived only a trifing cut on the bridge
of the nose and a mere scratch under
the right eye. Her internal injuries,
however, are of a very dangerous
character, but time alone can deter
mine their full extent. Her breast and
right side are badly bruised, and her
sutferings last night were so great that
she was unable to take more than a
few moments sleep. Her attending
physicians had not visited her when a
reporter of the NeMs called to inquire
after her condition this morning, and
we are therefore unable to say whether
they are OF the opinion that she will
recover or not. The little girl will
probably be all right in a short time.

CHOP.

The San Francisco Chronicle claims
to be in receipt of a perfect avalanche
of letters %applauding it for its "bold
and manly stand" and its bringing,
outspoken utterances," or the subject
Of the recent Republican Convention
1t Sacramento. This is as 'thin" as
1t Is unfortunate tor the welfare of the
Democrats and Independents. We
very much fear that if people keep on
"applauding' the bringing utterances''
OF the Chronicle the effect will be the
dragging Of that lively organ into the
cordial Endorsement Of one or the
other Of those great parties, and that
would be fatal. The most monstrous
thing OF the age is the Chronicles
abuse of Gorham and Carr as corrup-
tionists. Either of those gentlemen,
as bad as they may be, are capable of
doing more for the advancement of
any party with which they may be
identified than forty such fiashy, in
sincere prints as the Chronicle. While
1t must be admitted that the Chronicle
is a readable, gossipy paper, it is also
true that it is wholly devoid of infiu-
once in political matters. The most
that either the Democrats or Inde-
pendents of California have to fear is
the support of the Chronicle.

Count Won Arnim.

BERLIN, juno 10.
The Prussian Diel closed to-day. In
the trial of Count Won Arnim, counsel
for prosecution urged that the criminal
offense had been committed with re-
gard to the two series of documents,
for the retention of which the Munich
pal Court had acquitted defendant. He
demanded a sentence of two and q
half years. Imprisonment.
Both sides plead the incompetency
of the Municipal Court. Counsel for
defense made this the ground for de-
handing that the sentence of that
court be annulled.
Elected.
LONDON, June 16.
Wilson, Conservative, was elected to
Parliament from West Suffolk.
The Imprisonment of Won Arnim
Demanded.
BERLIN, June 16.
The trial of Won Arnim was resum
ed to-day, and the Public Prosecutor
concluded his argument. He de-
manded the imprisonment of the
Count because he was guilty of en-
bezzlement in a~bstracting documents
received.

wars THAT ARE DARK.

There are indications that seem to
point to Captain Lees as the coming
man for Chief of Police Of. San Fran
cisco. Not much has yet been said OF
his candidature, but it is generally un-
derstood in political circles at the Bay
that he is to be enthusiastically boosted
when the proper time shall have ar
rived. Indeed it is sometimes limited
by the knowing one that the carry
ing away of Toby Rosenthal's Elaine
was a little job put up in his especial
interest to enhance his chances tor that
position. 1t will be remembered that
the recovery Of that celebrated paint
ing and the arrest of the alleged thieves
simultaneously was set down by the
press Of the Bay as one of the most
brilliant achievements Of detective
skill ever known in any country. The
whole thing, it is nov whispered, was
q carefully executed job having for its
purpose the f%urtherance Of the de-
signs of certain local politicians and
ofice-seeking schemers. If it could
be as~certained for a certainty that Leos
knew all the while who got away with
the picture, and exactly where it was
concealed, that knowledge would be
apt to detract very materially from the
popular appreciation so freely shower
ad nD0u him for his behavior in CON
nection with that affair. One of the
Elaine thieves, who was convicted and
sentenced to a term Of years at San
Quentin, now says the joke was car
ried too far; that the theft was planned
by certain parties who had axes to
grind with the great public, and that
they-the thieves-were promised i'm
munity from punishment Of any de-
scription. This story has the merit of
FEASIBILITY, t say the least.

P~EsTIFERoUs WITs. - Eureka is
catching it from all quarters in connec-
ton with the mysterious disappear
ance of our pest-house. About all of
our exchanges have tried to say some
thing funny at the expense of this
people. 1t was a fair opening for the
newspaporial wits, and we can't blame
them much for having improved so
rare an opportunity. There is, how
ever,.a sameness in all of these bril-
liant comments that is overwhelmingly
stupid. Not a single paper has failed
to liken the theft to the felonious re-
moval of a red-hot stove. We have
g that comparison in connection
with our missing pest-house not less
than seventy-five or thirty times. The
thing is getting monotonous. Give
us something, gentlemen, that smacks
of genius and originality, or failing in
that, do the handsome, we implore
you, by giving us a rest.

are seriously injured, and in some
places ruined. A Gilroy dispatch says
that the tobacco crop will be benefited

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A House Run Into by u CircuA Wag.
on, and u Little Girl and Young
Woman severely Injured.


From the Gold Hill News of the 18th instant.
Two men, attached to Montgomery
Queens Circus, attempted 10 take a
wagon down a grade on Carson street,
Virginia, near the Ophir works, about
O'Clock yesterday morning, when it
gained such an impetus as to be I'M
manageable, and ran into the house OF
s. f. Gillis, on the corner OF II and
Carson streets, demolishing a portion
of the front of the house, and injuring
the sister and little daughter Of Mr..
ellis, the former so seriously that her
recovery is uncertain. The wagon was
loaded with the cooking tent and uten-
sils belonging to the show, which, to-
gether with the wagon, weighed three
or four tons. The brakes were set OH
hard and the men had hold Of the
tongue of the wagon and were guiding
il down the grade, but they had mis-
calculated the steepness OF the incline,
and the wagon gained o much a
way to be checked. 1t demolished the
fence in front of Mr.. ellis building as
If it had been a cobweb, and went
crashing into the room occupied by
Miss Fanny ellis, and Rita, MIR.
Gillis' daughter, a little girl about sew
en- years OF age. The two were togeth-
or in bed, with their feet toward the
front of the building. Had their posi-
ton been reversed, the chances are that
they would both have been instantly
killed, as the front of the build, ! came
falling in, and the tongue OF the
wagon struck the bed with terrific force.
Every article Of furniture in the room
was demolished, and the wagon tongue
passed through the Dashboard OF the
room into the kitchen adjoining.

We have repeatedly heard it stated
since the passage of the quackery law,
says the Carson Tribune, that surgeons
certificates could be procured from
certain hospitals by forwarding to
the principal a certain amount of mo
ney. A gentleman DESTROYS of test
ing the truth of the report, wrote a let
ter to the principal Of a hospital In ST.
Louis, Missouri, stating that not hav-
ing studied at any hospital, but mere
ly practiced homeopathy, he desired
to have q diploma; that he had a con
siderable practice where he was living,
but unless he could comply with a law
just enacted, viz: produce. o diploma
within q certain number of days, he
would have to suspend practice. The
following is a copy Of the letter re-
ceived in reply:
"Dr.-: Dear Doctor: Your IA
vor OF the 10Th OF March received,
and in reply / will state that ii you in
close the Zee of one hundred and sixty
($l6O) dollars, I will bring your case
before the faculty, and secure for you

The editor Of the Tribune says the
above letter is in his possession, and
IL open to perusal by persons desiring
70 see it. The only thing that shakes
our faith in its authenticity is the high
price exacted for Q sheepskin. We
have always heard that bogus medical
colleges charged only abont $l5 apiece
for them.
