SAN Francisco, Aug. %.
Thirty thousand dollars in currency
were redeemed in silver at the United
States Sub Treasury to-day. No pub
LEFTY having been given, only a few
were aware of the fact and there was
not a rush. Many disappointed ones
hint that parties employed in the Sub
Treasury gave private information TO
friends, but the treasury authorities
claim those who were posted on the
subject received their information from
Washington.
The Occidental and Oriental Com

The marriage ceremony of Payne
Skater and Miss Nellie Jackson was
to have been celebrated IN Grace
Church at half. past II o'clock to-day,
and the invited guests had already as
sembled in the church. In the mean
ton the residence of the brides father,
Charles Jackson, No. 1913 Vallejo
street, was the scene of IA sad event.
The bridal party was ready to leave
the house and proceed to the church.
The arranging OF the bride in her habil-
iments had been finished, and she pre-
scented herself before her father to re
ceive his approval. Mr.. Jackson had
his back turned toward his daughter
when she entered the room, and his
attention being called to her presence,
he turned around, looked admiringly
at her and dropped dead at her feet. His
sudden death Is ascribed to heart dis
ease. Owing to the sad and unexpect-

led from their sleep by several pistol
shots, apparently proceeding from the
apartments occu pied by Louis Beerndi
and wife on the second noor. The
landlady and other inmates of the
house rushed o Beerndt's room and
mel him at the door bleeding profuse'
ly from the nose and seemingly in a
| dazed and bewildered condition and un'
able to respond intelligently to inquir'
ing friends. On entering the adjoining
bedroom they found Mrs. Beerndt ly'
ing on the floor near the head of the
| bod, in her night clothes, covered with
blood, with a bullet wound in her head
from which the brains were oozing
She expired a few moments afterward
| without speaking. Concealed on the
| person of Beerndt was found a revolver
| with four chambers discharged, and
| further examination disclosed the fact
that he too was dangerously wounded,
having shot himself in the nostril. the
ball ranging upward and Embedding
itself in his brain. He vas taken to
the city prison hospital, where he now
lies in an apparently dying condition.
The body of the woman was taken ia
the morgue. The cause of the affair is
supposed to have been jealousy on part
of the husband, which from statements
made by parties in the house, seems to
have been not altogether unfounded.

WHAT THE CENTENNIAL Show Is
'wofrH.-The philadelphia Times, in
an elaborate statistical article, puts
down the worth of the Centennial
show as follows: Buildings S5,949, 900;
contents $97, 342, $50; total, SlO4, $40, $50.
A large proportion of the exhibits are
articles which, while having little or
no intrinsic value, could not be pur-
chased probably for all that the rest Of
the Exhibition is worth, they being re-
garded as invaluable for their antiquity
the remembrsnces which they recall,
Such exhibits the above figures do not
take into account.

that u seems likely to be more
than made good by increased output.
The last recorded months working at
the Consolidated Virginia resulted in
the manufacture of 9Sl bars of precious
metal, valued at S26. 00OI, al current
rates. What will be the figure when
the California bonanza is fully devel-
oped? No facts exist whereon to frame
an approximation to a correct es-
innate, but Mr.. Whitehill calculates
that the mine contains ore to the value
of at least 10000, 000l, while that eau
tious authority, the director of the San
Francisco Mint, considers it safe to
predict the annual production from the
whole Comstock lode of bullion worth
10, ,00ot. AS As per cent. of the value
is derived from the gold found in the
ore, whatever depreciation of silver
may hereafter take place, will only
affect profits to a limited extent. Al
together, the proprietors may be con-
sidered in q very comfortable position.
What a pity these beautiful bonanzas
never fall to English investors in
American silver mines!
