Banks and Stocks In Phoebe.

About half past four p. IN. on yester-
day telegram was received in Phoebe to
the effect that the Bank of California
had suspended. that the Board Of
Brokers of San Francisco had adjourned,
and a committee appointed to adjust
differences between members Of the
Board. These reports. with tho addi-
tioual news that stocks were rapidly
falling, created great excitement in our
town. The State Bank OF Nevada was
close at the time the report arrived, and
would rot open until its regular hour, at
$50 2. m, so there was great excitement
among the people who had money on
deposit in the bank. Speculation was
rife as to what the bauk would do.
Many were rushing around as if crazed,
while others, who bad large amounts in
tho bank, wore self.satisfied expires
sion, as if they knew that all was safe
At half-past six there was q large num-
Der of men in front OF the bank, some
for the purpose of getting money on de
post, Others to SEQ what would be done.
During this time the Directors of the
bank were not idle. They met at the
bank with their counsel and examined
the situation. The result was that the
money in the vaults amounted to several
thousand dollars more than the entire
debts of the institution. As soon as the
hour for opening arrived, the doors were
opened, aud Il. M. Bourne, the gentle
manly Cashier, standing behind the
counter, met the rushing crowd with
a smile, and as checks and certificates of
deposits were presented he paid them
with his usual promptness. A few men
had presented checks and drawn their
money on deposit, when the business
men of the town commenced coming
into the bank with coin to deposit. F.
W. Clute deposited large amount. Eel
senthal, DR.. Lee, Butler and others
came rushing in to deposit coin, and in a
few minutes the run on the bank ended,
and the money in the vaults amounted
to several thousand dollars more than
when the doors were opened. We are
glad to be able to-day TO say as fact
that the State Bank of Nevada is solvent,
and the failure Of the Bank of California
if it has failed, which We very much
doubt-will not affect the standing OF
the local bank. Since its affairs have
been managed by the present Board of
Directors, it has paid its regular divi.
bends, and it IS now on q firmer basis
than ever. Score one for Phoebe.
Times may be dull in other places, but our
banking institutions are safe. The ex-
element has subsidized and quiet again
reign in our midst.

BUSINESS AT CALAIS, ETc.-Our Calais cor
respondent writes: s'As the cold weather be-
gins to come on, there is a gloom and dread
settling down over parts Of the community.
Everything seems quiet and subdued-a slow
and gradual pulling in and fastening up for the
winter. The business men are also impressed
with the sense of retirement. There are few,
if any, arrangements made for numbering; no
prospect Of any and no disposition. To be sure
it is yet early in the season, but this is the gen.
eral tone of the business at present. When it
source of all business life, one can we'll appre-
ciate how dark is the project for those who are
dependent upon this. There ara on the wharves
along the river not far from 10000, 900 feet of
lumber. A good part of this has been on hand
during the summer, for. although the demand
has been such as to take away that brought by
cars daily from Milltown Barring and Prince
ton, it has not been great enough to create a
"run" upon the wharves. But Calais has had
more than its share of the shipping of lumber
to Southern cities and elsewhere-all praise to
the energy of its business men, Since the
manufacture depends upon the demand, one is
not surprised at the small number of vessels
in the river in comparison with the number of
a year ago.
OF course shipbulding is an important branch
of the city industry. This also suffers with the
rest. just now there are only three vessels on
the stocks. Messrs. Rideout and Nickerson
have brig and barkentne nearly completed
But while Calais has no reason to copgratu
late itself upon its present business it may well
be proud of its school system. Through the
ability and whole-s' uled zeal Of their superin
tendent, Hon. w. j. Corthell, very high
mark of attainment has been reached. The
schools have been better than school-houses,
but at last the committee have conquered ali
prejudices, and although their desires have not
ton of their long cherished plans The city is
building large and well appointed school.

MAGGIE MITcHELL.-Those who were so
much pleased with Miss Maggie Mitchelps acs-
ing last week will be pleased to learn that she
is to return on the 18th and play the "Pearl of
Savoy" The following extract is from the
New Haven Conn., Register:
Last evening that charming actress, Maggie
Mitchell, appeared at Music Hall, before one of
the largest and most fashionable audiences ever
assembled 10 this city. The play was the "Pearl
of Savoy" and to say that the audience was
charmed from the time the curtain rose to its
final fall for the evening, does not half express
it. Maggie Mitchell, in the personation of
youth, has No equal on the American STAGE
Her manner, speech and actions are SO child
like and natural. that scarcely any one realizes
that the lady is long past her majority, She
possesses wonderful power over her audiences
at one moment filling all eyes with tears,
while in the next instant she carries all off into
the widest exhibition of mirth. The lady will
always be welcome visitor to our city in what
ever role she chooses to appear in.

THE EPIzOoTC. savants predict
that there will be trouble with horses from now
until the middle of May next, such as we have
never before had. They assert that there are
now found in the atmosphere particles of fine
dust, red in appearance like cayenne, tasteless
but which induce sneezing, followed by the
well known epizootic. Owners of horse1esh
are cautioned not to use their horses roughly,
or at all, during an attack. Keep them well
blanketed, and rub lard or olive oil on the
throat morning, noon and night. In Paris
Major Bayley, the far-famed French horsemap,
seys out of scores and scores of diseased horses
he did not lose three cases. He used medicine,
but he followed this treatment, and said good
grooming was the secret of his success The
fact is, in this country we overwork and over
strain our horses. You might as we'll under
take to work man when suffering with ty.
phoid fever as to work horse with this often
fatal disease.
The first fatal case of the disease occurred
here yesterday noon. The horse of John Ken.
nedy was passing along Commercial street when
he dropped down dead. He had been sick but
few days and was not consderered seriously
i'll during the fore part of the day.

There was special meeting Of both branches
of the City Council last evening.
BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN.

Orders Passed.-An order laying out Doug
lass street; order authorizing the Mayor to ad
just claims for damage growing out of the lay
ing out of a street on Peaks Island, and ap-
propriatipg $3.50 for that purpose.
The Committee on Judiciary Proceedings
aud Claims reported ''leaye to Withdraw" on
the petitions of Frederick Hoyt for compensa-

to.
IN CONVENTION
VIM. S. Trefethen appeared before the con-
vention and urged the immediate construction
of the street which was as much needed in win
ter while the school was in session and the
snow Deep as in the summer. Some people
were opposed to any street, but these parties do
not represent the element which has brought
about the present prosperity Of the island. He
argued that 400 inhabitants should have
street.
The City Engineer, Mr. Goodwin, explained
at length matters relative to the street. He
said that the whole length of the street laid out
is AGO rods. OF this the western portion from
the western end of the island to Jones' Land
ing is not needed so much as the rest. That
part from Jones Landing to the school.house,
100 rods, is passable now. The part most nee.
essary to be built is that from the school-house
to the east end of the island, $40 rods. If this
is built fifty feet wide it will cost $5.25 per rod
1t can be built twenty-five feet wide for less
sum, and that course he advised.
Aid. Gerrsh urged that immediate measures
be taken to build that part of the road most
necessary The people on the island had
right to demand this of this city,
The convention dissolved.
After the Aldermen had re turned to their
room, it was voted to refer the whole matter of
the street on Peaks Island to the Street Com
mittee, with instructions to report some line of
action relative to the same.
COMMON COUNCIL.
Papers from the upper branch disposed of in
concurrence. Upon the dissolution of the con-
vention the Council adjourned without action

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-In the Circuit Court
of the United States in Massachusetts, Judge
Shepley on Friday last, delivered an important
opinion, decisive of the question which has
heen for the last four years in litigation be-
tween the patents issued to our townsman, Mr..
John W. Stockwell, and those held by 1.-THE
Cement Pipe Patents Assoca tiou'' of New
York. The substance of the decision is that
the patented inventions of Mr. Stockwel are
new and original Improvements in the art to
which they relate, and as such original inven-
tor and patentee he has the right to practice
his inventions and to license others so to do
without hindrance from the complainants. The
cause was conducted on behalf of the complain
ants by the Roberts Brothers of Boston, and in

Mr.. MoRGAN's CoNcERT.-A few hundred
more of our citizens might have found room at
the City Hall last evening, and also an excel
lent opportunity for the display of good judg-
ment, as well as of listening to an agreeable
entertainment. The audience evidently appre-
ciated the choice bill of fare with which they
were favored, and were sufficiently demonstra-
tive. Mr.. Morgan of course and Of right re-
ceived special applause and was recalled, so
were Mrs. Marchington and Mr. Felch, each
ones response to the encore quite as acceptable
as the song of the programme. Mrs. M. at the
close of her performance received bouquet
we believe from representative of the police
Her rendering Of ''De Ciel Regina" was very
satisfactory, and the difficult passages of the
"Nightngale's Trill' were artistically execut-
ed. Mr.. Felch ought to be especially COM
mended not only for his deep bass and careful
cultivation. but for his distinct word-enuncia-
ton. Kotzschmar and Chambers Band were,
as usual, equal to the occasion.
We should regret very much to see the pres
ent high standard of musical taste and per-
Torrance in our city lowered, even for season,
but it is our opinion that the selections for the
concert were unfortuna tely choice and classical,
certainly to receive the applause and the do
lars of the general public.
Mr. Morgan is capable and painstaking ar
fist, with whom our people have been long ia.
milia. He has never before, we believe, ap-
peared before the Portland public as benef-
ciary, and he certainly deserves much larger
house than was given him last evening.
