SAN Francisco, November lSth.-
1t has been raining steadily All aay
and the indications are that IL VIII
continue throughout the night.

tions preventing all sales in the room

sion; stopping all street sales, and

A daring burglary was committed
last night at the Humboldt House, on
Stockton street. Some time during
the night the rooms occupied by John
G.. Steadman and wife were entered
through the bedroom window. The
bureau drawers were ransacked ana
travelling trunk opened, from which
$500 in gold coin, one dozen silver tea
spoons, three silver desert spoons, one
silver sugar spoon and butter knife
were taken. The burglar unlocked
both doors leading from the rooms,
leaving one of the two aJar ON retir-
ing. Mr.. and Mrs. Steadman were
both sleeping in the room iii when
the robbery was committees, ana mel
ther was disturbed. The depreciation
was not discovered until Mrs. Stead
man woke up at 8 "A. NJ. Notice was
given to the police and skillfui detect
ives detailed to work up the case. AS
vet no clue TO the robber has been dis
covered.
An interesting case growing out of
the seizure OF 345 gallons of distilled
spirits at Marysville was brought to
trial in the L. S. District Court this
forenoon. Among the witnesses ex-
amined were San Francisco gauger,
the Marysville gauger and Mr.. HOP
kjns. LIQUOR dealer at the Grand ho-
tel. 1t appears that the barrels did at
one time contain liquor refined at the
Pacific refinery, August 10Th, 1875, but
had been subsequently manipulated
into what is known as China brandy.
Much to the surprise of the court and
audience some difficulty was found In
obtaining witnesses who knew what
kind of liquor it was. The court
thought the jury you'd not likely be
deceived on this point, as good Judges
of liquor We're not scarce In San fran-
cisco. Mr.. Hopkins, OF the Grand hos
tel, testified that he had been in the
liquor trade for twenty years. but he
could not tell from the aroma OF the
liquor produced what its real name
was. Moreover, he was unwilling to
taste it, since it had the appearance OF
a yillainOus compound Of inferior in
gradients, known only to the baser
disciples of iie trade. Counsel for the
defense argued that it was China
brandy, something known to the trade
ali over the coast, and no trouble with
it had been thought. of until the re-
cent advent of II gentleman from
Washington.

VIRGINIA CITY. November. 18th
This is the Sixth day on which it has
rained or showed almost necessarily.
Everything is water-sOaked, and the
streets a sea of soft mud. Bricklayers
faced the storm for two or three days,
but finally knocked Off entirely until
| the storm ceases. Carpenters have
continued work in spite of the flood.
and have accomplished great deal.
The lie Ophir works are up and COW
cred 40 the rain does not interfere, and /.
they will be completed by December,
when they will commence hosting
again. The Consolidated Virginia will
probably have their hosting works
rooted by Sunday, The stone work
| for both mines is completed, and their
machinery will be in place in a week.
Both buildings are larger and more
| substantial than the old ones.
| Several bridges on the V. & Il. II. r.
are washed away, so that the train
cannot pass, aHd no train will leave
here tonight. No nail or express
was received from San Francisco to-
day OH account of the failure to con-
meet ut Reno.
The number Of persons applying for
relief, which was rapidly diminishing
before the storm, IS now on the in
crease, and it is thought the Relief

the school houses for shelter.
