dent happened at latham ; new build
| ing, corner of Sutter and kearney
streets. II appears that one w. j..
Rogers "a machinist, who boards at
the Coso House, being desirous of in

second story, the floor of which is not

cussion of the brain. He was picked

He may, with the proverbial good

The annual meeting of the steck-
holders of the Changers Bank was
called for O'Clock to-day at the rooms
of the bank on California street. At
that hour the stockholders began to
pour into the place until it was crowu-
ed to suffocation. There were over
two hundred and fifty grangers, male
and female, in attendance and very
great interest was manifested in the
result of the election which is being
held this afternoon for directors of the
Bank. There are five tickets in the
field, and the most of the scratching is
being done by the sisters, who are be-
ginning to realize the pleasures of
casting ballots. Mr.. J. V. Webster
called the body to order, and after
making few brief remarks as to the
object tor which it had been called,
said it would be necessary for the
transaction of business to adjourn to
some larger hall. A member suggest
ed that an adjournment should be
taken to Dashaway Hall, but it was
announced that that place was being
used by another organization. 1t was
finally decided to adjourn to Corin-
THAN Hall, where the polls were
opened.
The Chinese cigar manufacturers of
this city have society organization
which is far stronger than any other
similar trade union among the whites.
Having learned the value of strikes
when they desire to accomplish any
object, they do not hesitate to apply
that remedy.
Yesterday workmen in several of the
large cigar factories owned by white
men quit work because they were un-
willing to submit to some new regula-
lions which were sought to be intro
duced. The employers effected COM
promise through the aid of Interpreters
and the recalcitrant Chinese resumed
work this morning, having gained the
object in view.
w. Miller, claiming to be John JEFF
ferries, went to the Clay Street Bank
and demanded $500, the amount on
deposit in the name of Jefferies. Mil
on payment being made to him. He
was turned over to an officer; and this
morning in the Police Court was on
trial for grand larceny, but the evil
dence not justifying the graver charge
it was reduced to one of petty larceny.
1t seems that the real Jetferies was
drunk on Thursday and the book was
taken from his pocket. Miller made
several contradictory statements to the
arresting officer, and his story when
on the stand was still different. He
was found guilty as charged and or
dered to appear for sentence.
The Primary Investigation.
VALLEJO, Cal, October 12th.-The
Naval Court of Inquiry has received
the testimony of ten witnesses, the ev-
idence being chiefly an examination
of the books and papers of Spaulding's
Office. Important facts have been
elected but no startling disclosures
made. 1t transpires that Kenny
plundered in company with others.
Spaulding listens to the testimony
but has submitted no report to the
Court. His bookkeepers have been
undergoing an examination since last
Friday. Carr, Hansome, Lagrange
and De la Montgarie have not yet been
summoned. The Court is confident
that it has the power to enforce the
summons by the U. S. Marshal. When
Carr is wanted he will be sent for. If
he fails to respond Deputy Marshal
will bring him. The contractors will
be called next week. The inquiry will
not be concluded before November
