wv OTU 0aS DeeQ TeCelVeO mere OF the ue8tQ
Of Mr.. John yesterday, which took place
in silver mine near Boulder City, Colora-
[da, August Esd. Mr.. yesterday had gone
to work that morning and was at depth
of 90 feet. After being down about half
an hour he called for matches. The bucket
was lowered into which he Immediately be-
gan to crawl, but only succeeded in getting
in after some time and difficulty. After he
had been drawn up about ten feet he fell
out. The men who went down after him
found him still breathing, but life was e.
tinct when he reached the surface. The
cause of his death is not known-whether it
came from foul air or whether he was seized
with fainting fit and fell from the bucket.
He was son-in-law of Mr.. L. Robbers, OF
this city; was about twenty-six years OF
age; and left wife and one child. He
went from Anoka to Colorado last winter,
and had an interest in this mine (which
vas just beginning to pay as had also Matt

was quarreIipg with. We can hardly
blame the miners for being somewh hat

RESUMPTION.

Yesterday afternoon the welcome ne We
came over the wires that the Bank OF
California would resume. When the news
of the banks suspension reached Phoebe
we expressed the opinion that the insti-
tuition would reopen on the 30th instant.
and believe it would nad all the assets
been available. A few lines in the tele-
graphic news throw flood of light on
two things that puzzled everybody. viz:
why the bauk did not Immediately re-
sumo, and why its brilliant. but i'll

II now appears that Mr.. R,lsion mp

his own use;" thu he "got into snap
and used the bank to help himself out. :"
We do not give entire credence to the
foregoing statement, but believe there is
much truth in it. This accounts for the
double event. the tardy action OF the
bank and tho sad fate of Ralston. The
bottom is now reached, the furry over
and the financial interests OF tho coast
safe. The names of Sharon. Mills and
Reese are in themselves towers OF
strength. Senator Sharon, by his action
in this matter, has proved himself
large-hearted man and public benefac.
tor. and will fulfill the trust imposed on
him by his dead friend. The news of
the proposed resumption was more OF a
satisfaction; it seemed impossible that
the bank should 60 down and stay down.
The securities were too solid, the assets
too great, and the prestige of the
bank too potent to admit of utter
and irremediabe failure. The money the
triumvirate have put up ia sufficient
guarantee that every dollar OF indebted
ness will be paid; and the experience al
ready theirs, coupled with the sad but
salutary lessons Of the past few days,

The following is from the Boston Post

An incident occurred in the Treasury
Department few days ago. One OF the
female counters in that bureau yielded
TO the temptation to steal twenty-dollar
greenback. Knowing that the deficit
would be ascertained without fail before
, O'Clock, she made haste to shield her
self by reporting that she had discovered
deficit Of that amount. AT once the
most rigorous examination was made,
but in vain, to find who was responsible
for the loss. The excitement that pre-.
vailed in the cash-room when the $47,-
a small scale in Mr.. Carter's bureau.
Finally the woman who had stolen the
bill arose from her seat and passed out
Of the room. In doing 80 the stolen bill
slipped from the place where it was con-
cealed on her person and fell to the
floor. leading to detection. She con-
fessed her crime, but told such pitiiul
story Of poverty and restitution aud
pressing wants OF family dependent
upon her for support that she was per-
United to retain her situation upon
promise not to do 80 again. Suisse
quently notice was served upon the en-
ployes of the bureau that repetition Of
the offence by any one would certainly
meet with the severest punishment.
This tends to disprove old Spin.
ner's assertion that "a woman won't
steal over two dollars at one time Yet
the bungling manner in which the thief,
was committed showed she was but q
novice in the art of peculation The
female Treasury clerks are all well paid
and nearly always in debt. the last being
mostly caused by the high cost OF living
IN Washington aud desire to ontshine
in dress.
