SAN FRANCISCO December ~.
A rumor is current on the streets
to-day that boat containing Nc
Donough, first officer of the Pacific
and six Others, had been picked up
by a vessel bound for Australia, but
it could not be traced to any anthem
tic source.
Last night ice formed in the streets
of the city, for the first time this
season.
This Afternoon, while man resid-
ing on Third street, between Folsom
and Harrison, was boiling tar on a
kitchen stove, for the purpose of re-
pairing leaky roof, the pot boiled
over, caught fire, and the flames COM
municated to the floor and furniture.
The occupant of the premises and
his wife attempted to extlnguish
the flames, when the latter's clothing
took fire. Selling her two children,
the woman ran down into the cellar,
where she deposited them. She then
ran into the street. She fell ex-
hausted on the other side of the
street. Every shred of clothing was
burned off her body. The children
were found in the cellar badly
burned, one of them not being ex-
pected to live. The woman is also
badly burned.
1t is reported that the Sierra Ne
vada mine is to be cut up into four
claims of 600 feet each, to be named
respectively the Sierra Nevada, Mac
key, Edgington and Meredith, di-
vided into 100000 shares each.
