ANOTHER CAVE. Another of
those accidents, which Of late are
becoming so frequent in the Sutro
Tunnel, occurred at the header 1t
about 10 o'clock on Saturday last,
resulting in the very serious hurt
ing Of q miner named William
Brown. A blast, put in on Friday,
had shattered and blown Oht a set
of timbers, and while the under
ground foreman and Mr.. Brown
were at work repairing the injury
on Saturday, an immense fall of
rock and dirt came down, burying
Brown and slightly hitting the
foreman. When the unfortunate
man was taken out, it was found
that his right leg was broken in
two places, his left ankle fractured,
and his right thigh had sustained
cut by the rock to the depth of two
or three inches. The foreman was
but slightly scratched. Brown is
in O critical condition, but is hav-
ing the best of medical attendance,
and will probably recover.

A dispatch dated New York, Sept.
10th, says that the Pennsylvania
Railroad, on the 18Th, will begin
running . regular daily fast mail
train to Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chi
cago, st. Louis, and other points

Postmaster General has notified the
Pennsylvania Railroad that he will
rot allow them to commence before
she New York Central can complete
their arrangements for the Chicago
fast mail, Colonel Scott has determ-
ined to start his fast train on Mon
day, and has notified the Post Office
Department that his postal cars will
be ct Jersey City ready for use on
that day. These cars are large and
commodious, handsomely finished,
and Of m entirely new design re-
curing almost as much work as u
pvrlor car. The Pennsylvania Com
psny propose to carry passengers
on this train over part Of the route.

GETTING INTO THE GRIT.-It was
stated to US yesterday by pretty
good authority that late progress
made by the Sutro Tunnel had I'M
covered several bodies of ore that
will mill from SO to $40 per ton,
and that the present prospects of
the work are very fattsring for a
near approach to ore of superior
quality. We learn from the same
source that the ore bodies now
struck will at an early day be thor
oughly prospected, and if found to
warrant it, will DO mined and pnt
upon the orc dump. Barring acct
dents, the health Of the Tunnel
town is in excellent condition, pay
days and coin are synonymous
terms with the tunnel hands, and
business OF all kinds is livening
up. The inimitable Picotte, pub
fisher Of the Independent" does
not get his valuable journal TO this
police until sunday, and We are
therefore placed two days behind
the Virginia papers in making clip
pings from it. That will account
for the lack Of them in the TAXES.
We wish friend Picotte would
remedy this evil delay in the deliv-
cry Of his paper, but he has moi
yet accomplished it.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES

sAS FRANCISCO, september Id
At the inquest held this morning
on the body of George Bettinger.
shot by his brother Edward. on
Saturday evening, the evidence
showed that it was a deliberate
murder, without provocation, Ed
ward lying in wait for his brother
and shooting him rs he passed the
doorway. The jury found YER
dict in accordance with the above
facts. The examination of the
murderer will take place to-mor-
row. 1t is ascertained tina. his
father committed suicide and that
his mother is now insane. Since
the tragedy young Be;singer has
shown symptoms of alteration of
mind.
Collection day is passing of
smoothly, nobody failing. and in
most cases payments made on de-
mand-the mercantile community
standing the test better even than
expected. This is partly owing to
the large amounts handed over las:

The Pacific Stock Exchange held
. business meeting to-day. A re-
solution offered providing that the
resolution formerly passed filming
members for doing business, be
enforced, and that all old business
of exchange referring to loans and
stock transactions be settled within
five days, and that the Exchange
resume business tomorrow, and
until further action, hold one ses-
sion each day for the transaction OF
cash and regular business only,
and that there be fines imposed on
each member not answering roll
call at IL A. N. A substitute was
offered providing that the Ex-
change, through its special COM
mittee, confer with the executive
committee of the $. T. Stock and
Exchange Board, to the end that
both Boards and Exchange be
opened at the same time. The sub
stitute was adopted. The motion
was then taken from the table and
lost. The fine stands as heretofore.
The Pacific Stock Exchange, in
refusing to reopen business at
present. meets with general com
mendation, although in the opinion
of some the renewal OF business on
the part of both Boards is consid-
cred expedient.
Transactions Of the California
Board can hardly be considered as
auOrdlng criterion or the stale OF
the stock market, as few hundred
shares of any leading stock thrown
into the Board would probably de-
moralize it. The general impression
seems to be that transactions of the
California Board are rather injurious
than otherwise, tending to cause an
unsettled feeling, while if no bust
ness were done the rates at the clos
ing of the big Boards would be con-
sidered still ruling. AS it is, the
price of most of the leading stocks
have somewhat fallen off. 1t seems
probable now that the re-opening of
the Bank of California will be delay
ed beyond the 18th, probably until
the opening Of the Bank of Nevada,
about the 1st of October.

The longest balloon voyage ever made
has just been accomplished by some mem
bers of the French Aerial Navigation
Society, who have resolved to undertake
a series Of night ascents for the purpose Of
spectroseopic and electrical observations.
The balloon, which was called the
Zenith, contained Eve passengers, aud
started from Paris, descending near Bor-
deaux in % hours. Several valuable dis,
coveries were made during the trip. The
aeronauts met with currents Of air in diff
ferent directions when sailing over the
Landes. In the higher regions hot wind
directed them to the ocean, and lower
down, at 100 metres (about 800 feet from
the earth, cool breeze took them inland
During the night clear moon enabled
them to see the earth, aud about A. NJ.
the moon was encircled by splendid cru
ciform halo. The balloon crossed the river
Gironde in IS minutes, and four pigeons
were dispatched, none of which, however,
have yet reached home. The lowest tenn
perature experienced was four degrees be-
low zero (cent) dnring the night Auent

to be about s2O0 The silk for the upper
part Of the balloon is worth 2s. i'd per

hold the weight Of the car and the ropes,

California Gold.

The gold of California was noticed by
early Spanish explorers, and was again
discovered on the Colorado River, Just a
century since, in IT'S, but attracted no
attention till its rediscovery early in ls4s,
when the existence of very rich gold
allusions was made known, A rapid
immigration to the region at once followed,
and it was reported in August of that year
that the daily production Of gold was from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Ii was not until 1851 that the gold
bearing veins were discovered, and the
larger part Of the gold Of California has
been got from the placers, as the alluyions
are called. Il is from the partial exhaus-
ton Of these that the production has Of
late years considerably diminished. In
lS45 it was estimated at $40, 600, 900, and
reached its maximum Of s65,00O,O0O in
1883. In 1870 il had fallen TO SIS, OO0,-
ooo, and reached sls,oOo,ooO in 1873
but rose again in 1874 to $40, 900, 600
The total yield, since the opening Of the
mines in 1s4S, amounts to more thar
81 ,00O, 100000. The working ofthe gold.
bearing veins and Of the deeper alluvion,
or placcrs has Of late been systematized and
greatly improved, and from the abundance

Physiology Of Eggs.

Every fowl has two small organs near
the extremity Of she body called the ovaria.
They are filled with elastic tissue, and feel
under the finger like a sponge. The eggs
ara started here, and those which win ma
ture year or two, or three years hence,
ara IN embryo One is forced up, is seized
by the stroma, which is seventeen inches
long, and passed rapidly through. When
the egg leaves the ovary il consists Of yolk
only, but "a lis passage through that short
canal the yolk IS surrounded by enough
albumsn to perfect the chick. The white
Of the egg has in ii all that nature requires
for making bones, muscles, bloOd-vessels,
connecting tissue, skin and feathers.
just before the egg leaves the body,
this canal has the power Of secretiug lime
for the she'll. This shows how valuable
the egg is as nutriment, and also what
demands are made for rich food BY hen
that lays an egg daily. Besides what she
requires for her sustenanee, she IS called
upon to secrete the material for the body
Of an entire chick, and also retains for
the little creature sufficient to last many
hours after ID leaves the she'll II shows
that ben cannot make albumen SO rapid
y except out of albuminous food, such as
wheat, meat, and small animals.
tits not true that there are certain
number Of eggs, and that this number
exhausted, DO mere can be expected; but
it is true that the secretions lessen as old
age comes on, and latterly the hen fails to
have sufficient force to carry forward the
process, The practical bearing Of this is,
that We must see that the fowl is always
well kept. The way to have good laying
pullets is to quicken the circulation and
strengthen the system by liberal nutriment.
The yolk is food for the first three or four
days Careful housewives make mis-
take by attempting to feed them before
the expiration of this time. Let the
mother bird have charge and success viii
be certain, for she knows better than any
man can what the chick requires

SPECIE CoMISG.-Silver has deprecia-
ted in Europe IS pence to the pound, and
the premium is therefore reduced to a
point which will render feasible its substi-
tuition for paper change in this country.
The law provides for the retirement of
fractional currency and the issue of silver
whenever the latter shall have approached
within ten per cent. of the value of green
backs. but so long as silver was at this
premium or a higher one there was no
inducement for holders to make the ex-
change. As soon, however, as the coin
falls to six or eight per cent. premium its
announcement weight and bulk in handling,
together with the expense of shipment,
