PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES
FROM CALIFORNIA.
The Bank OF California.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16-9:45 A. NJ.
Reports were circulated on the street
last evening that the Bank of Califor-
mia would reopen on the 9th instant.
Inquiry at the office of the directors
this morning fails to confirm the
rumor, the fact being that no day has
yet been decided upon, though it is init
mated, as heretofore stated in the press
dispatches, That a resumption Is prob
able about the LIST proximo. Con-
siderable feeling and anxious inquiry
as to the prospects of resumption have
been created by the unauthorized state
ments, published from time to time,
giving a positively early date for the
r%eopening. SuclI statements are, to a
great extent, mere deductions from
street talk and consequently unrelia-
BILE. The directors reports nothing
new in the affairs OF the bank. Every
thing Is progressing slowly but favor
ably toward resumption, which will
take place as soon a. the necessary ar
~rangements are completed.
Norton for San Quentin-The Rig
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
SAN Francisco. Sept. 1910 A. NJ.
The statement made yesterday, that
the assaying and refining works had
been transferred to Flood Il O'Brien,
proves to have been premature. though
the California Bank people state that a
bargain will no doubt be consummat-
ed at ar early date.
Mrs. Norton, convicted in Santa Bar
bara of completely in the murder of
her husband and sentenced to impris-
onment 70, life at San Quentin, arrived
in this city last evening on the steamer
Ancan. She was lodged in the County
Jail, where she will remain a few days
before going over the bay. Mrs. Nor
ION complained that Judge Murray.
| who sentenced her, refused to grant a
stay of proceedings, and said he was
probably governed by the feeling OF
the people OF Santa Barbara, which
was very bitter against her. She also
expressed herself as confident that the
| Supreme Court will grant her a new
trial. She expressed great solicitude
for her children, who are now with her
mother.
The celebrated mammoth grape vine
of Monticello, near Santa Barbara, ar
rived last night by the steamer, packed
in seven boxes, for shipment to- the
Philadelphia Centennial, where it will
be set up with the limbs attached in
their natural position, as it has stood
for over half a century.

Company was Incorporated yesterday,

s-rEALINGs.

The Carson Appeal of the 5th says:
Alarge quantity Of sulphuric acidwhich
had been hoisted upto the refinery and
was standing on the elevator, got cap
sized yesterday by some sort of a mis-
take OH the part of the party at the
hosting works, below. The spilling
took place Immediately over the Office
of the melter and retiner. Luckily for
Mr.. Bryant and his assistants they
were not in at the time or they could
hardly have escaped a d%renching like
unto that that came upon the doomed
cities of the plain. 1t actually rained
vitrol for the space of several minutes,
right down through the ceiling. OF
course everything that was touched by
the quick-eating liquid was destroyed
everything but such as was envel-
oped in glass, as, luckily, some of the
scales were. Some things, books, etc.,
we believe, were finally rescued by
men with blankets over their heads
and gum boots on, though we should
not fancy wading through sulphuric
acid india rubber, for we believe that
the gum is soluble in vitrol.
On Saturday evening last, as J.. w.
McCormac, time Keeper of the Rock
Island mine, was returning from Vir-
ginia City to his home at American
Flat, he was assaulted when crossing
the Divide by three highwaymen,
who, after a desperate struggle, over.

ing him of $4S in coin. He was una

the fact of their being masked.

Matte cried from pain, and Nellie sat

sympathy, as Aunt Martha went about
clearing up the room.
When the little hand was thawed out
Miss Martha did it up very tenderly with
some soothing ointment which she kept
for burns. She did not punish the chill
dren; she thought they were punished
enough. She only said: IL hope this

never to meddle again"
Then she opened the tin-pail and, sure
enough, the cream was frozen. 1t looked
rather lumpy, but Aunt Martha knew it
could not be poison, and she gave each
little girl a saucerful, and even conde-

that really it was not so bad as it might
be-" In spite of Nellie's grief she could

A Clever Debater.

SPEAKING of the old-time political de-
bates of Virginia gentlemen, George Cary
Eggleston relates in the November At
lantic this anecdote:
A story is told of one of the fercest OF
these social political debaters-a story too
well vouched tor among his friends to be
doubted-which will serve perhaps to
show how unnecessary the presence of an
antagonist was to the successful conduct
of dispute 1t was sat a dining day.
to speak in the native idiom, and it so
happened that all the guests were Wings,
except Mr.. E, who was the stanchest
of Jetfersonian Democrats. The discus
sion began, of course, the moment the
ladies left the table, and it speedily waxed
hot. MI F., getting the ear of the
company in the outset, laid on right and
left with his customary vigor, rasping the
Wings on their sorest points, arguing, as
serting,. denouncing,a demonstrating-to
his own entire satisfaction for perhaps
half an hour; silencing every attempt at
interruption by saying: s4-s- 90
"Now wait, please, till l get through
I'm one against seven, and you must
let me make my points. Then you can
reply"
He finished atlast, leaving every Whig
nerve quivering, every Wing face burning
with suppressed indignation, and every
Wing breast full, almost to bursting, with
a speech in reply. The strongest debater
of them all managed to begin first, but
just as he pronounced the opening words
Mr. E. interrupted him.
"Pardon me-" he said. II know all
your little arguments, so .Pll 60 and talk
with the ladies for half an hour while you
run them over; when you get through
send for me, and I'll come and s,oeep you
clear out ofthe arena"
And with that the exasperating man
bowed himself out of the dining room. G

Great Destruction to Life by Boiler
Explosion.

THE boiler of the engine Centralia of
the Easton & Amboy Railroad, exploded
on the morning of the 1st at the Raritan
siding near South Somerville, N. J. The
following particulars are given in the New
York papers Of the Cd:
The engineer, the foreman of the labor
gang and three other men were killed,
and thirty three laborers were scalded,
some of them fatally. The cause of the
explosion is said to have been the worn
out condition of the boiler and the lack of
water kept in it. The engine left Bound
brook about seven a. m. with a construc-
ton train, consisting of caboose and a
number of empty gravel-cars, for the
purpose of assisting in the repair of the
road. The engine was attached to the
rear of the train and directly in front of it
was the caboose and another containing
about forty EIGHT laborers. When the
train reached the siding, about two and a
half miles west of BounGbrook, it was
run upon side-track in order to allow
the eastern-bound passenger train to
pass. While standing here the boil
er of the engine, without any warn
ing, exploded, wrecking the locomo
tive, shivering the caboose to atoms
and pouring steam and boiling water into
the car in front of it. The laborers occu-
pying the caboose, unconscious of dan
ger, were talking and laughing together,
and when the shock came were scattered
like leaves before a hurricane. Some of
them were blown through the roof and
sides and by the force of the explosion
were lifted twenty or thirty feet into the
air But eight men escaped uninjured.
Many were severely wounded by flying
fragments of the cars and engine and two
or three were fatally scalded. Five were
killed almost outright. The boiler was
carried high in the air and landed about
100 feet from the scene of the disaster.
Col Palmer H. Thompson, foreman of
the labor gang, was burned about the body
and injured internally. He died about
four p. M. He was commander of a
Pennsylvania regiment of militia during
the late war, and leaves a wife and one
child. When the physician came to at
tend him he said: ATTEND to others first;
l am not hurt as badly as they are" Be-
fore dying he described how the force of
the explosion had thrown him through
the roof of the caboose and thirty feet
high. While falling he thought of clutch
ing the telegraph wires, which he saw
many feet below him, to break his fall,
but, thinking it would be useless, re-
Trained. He alighted on a tie, which
broke in one of his ribs and burst in one
of his lungs, which produced fatal in
ternal hemorrhage.
Boundbrook was the scene of intense
excitement, as the explosion, though it
occurred tive and a half miles from there,
was distinctly heard. Wood-choppers
working several miles distant heard the
reverberations and hurried to the scene
Many stories were afloat as to the cause of
the accident, but, in the excitement that
prevailed, it was impossible to ascertain
where the blame rests.

the gloves are of the usual shade. This
brightens up dark toilets and permits the
use ofvery dark materials for trimming the
hat The most distinguished looking
bonnets are very high in front, with close
sides and very full face-trimmings. This
shape is chosen for black and dark col
ored velvet bonnets for church, visiting
and receptions, and is not nearly as large
as the shapes used for second-best hats
for general wear. For young ladies are
tlat.crowned, faring brim hats that are
worn just on the back of the head, en-
circling it like halo, and showing nearly
all the parting On top of the head; these
are larger than the shape just mentioned.
When made of black velvet they are given
a more youthful look by having tacings
of blue or rose silk inside-either shirred
or plain-and a full trimming of shell
loops, with sometimes toutfe of roses, or
feather tip oddly posed high on the left
side The best milliners are using gilt and
silver galloons and ornaments little
more freely than at the first openings this
season. These look especially well with
black velvet Two OF three black ostrich
tips are posed on end in front, ON one
side, or low behind and made to curl over
as much as possible. Gros- grain or
twilled silk in broad, deep folds is then
laid around the crown, coming up on its
sides, and ending in a single loop low be-
hind.
NEW Wells.
New wells are quite long again, with
square corners below, while the top is
rounded, hemmed and a string run in it
to tie it around the bonnet. They are
made of black Chantilly net, without dots,
like fine tulle, and are finished with an
inch wide hem that has row of fine tiny
gold beads at the top of the hem for bon
nets that have gilt trimmings, while jet
beads are used ON wells for other bonnets.
They measure three-quarters of yard in
length when finished. They are tied
around the bonnet fastened behind the
neck to make them smooth across the
face, Just as mourning wells are worn, and
the right-hand corner IS then thrown back
over the oulder.-Harper'S Bdznr.

A PARTING.

GooD-BY, the mp And he turned away,
No other word between them spoken;
You hardly could have guessed that day
How close bond was broken.
The faint, slight tremor of the hand
That clasped her own in that brief parting
d Only her heart could understand
Who saw the tear-drops starting
Who felt sudden surge Of doubt
- Come rushing back unbidden DER her,
As with the words her life without
His presence loomed before her.
The others saw, the others heard
A calm, cool man, gracious woman;
a quiet, brief farewell, unstirred
I6 aught at all uncommon. q @s~f
She knew solemn die was cast,
She knew that two paths now must sever
That one familiar step had passed
Out Of her life forever
To all the rest il merely meant
trivial parting, lightly spoken;
She read the bitter, mute intent,
She knew-a heart was broken!

New Fashions.
NEW POLONAISES,

AT each opening of French costumes
new designs are shown for polonaises.
These show most varied shapes, but the
prevalent idea among them is the attempt
to do away with elaborate boutfant dra-
perry and make straight, simply shaped
garments. The Marguerite seams are
found in almost all backs of polonaises,
and these seams are now heightened more
than ever by beginning not merely in the
shoulder seams but in the back of the
neck where the shoulder seam joins the
neck; this makes three long seams down
the middle of the back and extending
over the tournure. The pelisse polonaise
is the name gwen to an undraped garment
just introduced by Worth 1t resembles a
gentleman's double breasted frock-coat in
shape, is open plainly from the waist
down the back, has pocket flaps on the
sides and is fastened by three buttons in
front The seams in the back are like
those Just described as beginning at the
neck where it meets the shoulder, and
these three seams are almost parallel
down the back, except that the outer ones
taper inward at the waist. The handsomest
model of this is of black brocade silk stiff
nJugh for a dowager This silk has
black satin leaves so closely brocaded upon
it that the reppea ground is almost con-
cealed. The trimmings are of the SIM
plest kind, being merely facings on the
collar and cuffs of cardinal-r red silk, while
the slightest line of the cardinal appears
down the back and front where the gar
ment falls open; the lower edge is merely
hemmed. The skirt to wear with this is
plain black gros-grain, with three very
fine knife-plaitings, each four inches
deep, and set quite apart from each other
instead of tapping in the present fashion.
SIMPLE OVERSIGHT. ae- .-
Among simple and stylish new over
skirts is good design that requires but
two breadths of the wide wool goods now
in vogue, yet is long enough and full
enough for taste. The front is wide,
deep apron with the fullness necessary

the top. The back is three -cornered
piece pointed in shawl-shape below,
trimmed all around, and its fullness laid in
easy plaits set on the sides of the front
The middle of this triangular breadth
would not be long enough for the pulled
loop at the top of the back if it were
sewed to the belt, hence it is suspended
by tape that is concealed under the two
double box-plaits that its width requires.

Felt hats are not chosen to match the
costumes with which they are worn, but
are trimmed with velvet and silk of the
color Of the dress. Light creamy white
and wood -colored fabrics are chosen, and
