A China Fight = Several Wounded
and "a Drug Store Dem olished-
Appearance OF the Battle Ground.
SAN Francisco, Mar


SAN Francisco, March /, 1876.
A Chinese fight occurred last night
at O'Clock on Dupont street, in
Chinese drug store kept by See Chy
Lung Il Co. 1t appears that Sam Lee,
who acts in the capacity of a contractor
of labor for several white shoe firms,
was the originator of the difficulty.
Some time since Sam Lee was called
upon by boot and shoe making firm to
secure number of Chinese to work by
contract for two years. He engaged
number of men, each of whom was
compelled to deposit small sums of
money III the hands of the drug store
proprietor as security for the fulfilment
OF the contract. They labored along
for some time. small sum being taken
from their weekly salaries, and added
to the security money. Recently about
sixty of them failed to put in an APP
pearance for some days, and they were
discharged. They in a body demanded
the return of the security money, but
were refused, and left highly exasper-
ated. Yesterday they held meeting,
and decided upon getting satisfaction
out OF the druggist, and agreed to meet
last evening on the street in that vi
cinity. The medicine men, numbering
some sixty or seventy, were engaged in
eating their evening meal, when the
creditors invaded tina store, and the
| leaders made demand for the money.
but no attention was paid to the de-
mand. They then brandished hatchets,
iron bars and knives, which had been
concealed beneath their blouses, and
attacked the others. The latter pro-
duced weapons, and defended them
selves. A bloody and exciting fight
ensued, which lasted for sometime, and
only ceased upon the arrival of posse
of policemen. During the excitement
gigantic Chinaman, who welded
Ratchet, aimed vicious blow at Officer
! Hotaling. That officers head escaping
by an inch or two. He drew pistol,
whereupon the fellow uttered n wild
yell and vanished in the rear of the
store. The officers placed about a
dozen of the belligerents under arrest,
aud then bestowed their attention on
the wounded. Six were found to be
cut with knives and hatchets and
battered over tho head with bars, one
of them having q terrible wound in the
back, reaching the lung, which will
prove fatal. The windows aud stock in
the drug store were demolished, and
the floor after the battle presented an
appearance similar to that of slaugter
house. Daring the fight the street was
crowded with Cinnamon, who urged the
Nombatants on with wild yells.

Dade was illiterate he was good soul

was inaugurated Dade made n trip to the
capital to see him. The interview was
characteristic.
Jack, old boy how are your Come

The following, from the New York
Christian Adrocate, written by its edi.
tor'in.chief, DR.. Currie, some years
since, is yet more true to-day than when
it was written; as the popularity OF the
instrument has extended, the number OF
incompetent makers has increased.
There are now few articles in reference
to which the public is more deceived
and imposed upon than in parlor or cot.
tage orgOns. This is attested by the
thousands OF such instruments now
standing utterly useless, all over the
country, which are but few months or
years old:
CABINET on PARLoR ORGASs,-As
usual in such cases, the new and large
demand for these instruments has in.
duced a great number OF persons to en-.
gage in their manufacture, some Of
whom are quite unequal to the business
they have undertaken. Itrequiressome.
thing more than the mechanical skill OF
the artifcer in wood and iron to make
and prepare for use musical instru.
ment; and yst some have evidently
brought nothing else to their aid in the
business. The result ia that the country
is becoming filled with inferior and de.
fective instruments. Large sums OF
money are expended for valueless arti.
cles, and the people are defrauded OF
their needed musical education. The
evil is intensified by the fact that these
inferior instruments are, on account OF
their inferiority, most industriously
urged upon the public. Because they
cannot compete with better ones in the
open market, they are pressed upon the
public by direct solicitations; and be-
cause they offer larger commissions,
they nre those most commonly offered
by agents and hawked by pe1dlers.
And as most purchasers nre unable To
Judge OF the relative merits OF these
things, the inferior articles are often
bought when better ones are desired,
and would be cheerfully paid for.
Induced by these considerations, we
have been ct some pains to ascertain
what instrument Of the many now sole.
iting the public favor combines the
greatest amount OF real excellencies.
We have prosecuted this inquiry entirely
independently Of mid or direction from
interested parties. The opinions OF
some OF the best musical critics, com.
posers, and performers have been OBJ
tanned reports Of experiments made in
the ordinary use Of various instruments
in churches, schools and families have
been compared, all OF which with singu.
lar unanimity concur in assigning the
first place to the Cabinet Organ OF
Mason & Hamlin-a decision that CORE.
spends with our own previously formed
convictions. We have written
these things without solicitation from
any one, and without the knowledge Of
those whose pecuninry interests we may
seem to favor The interest OF our
readers is the object we have sought es.
pecially to promote, and in that interest
We have prosecuted our inquiries, and
now va record our convictions.-New

VALLEY RAILWAY.
annual Meeting ef StockhOlderS-Amhority
Given to Mortgage the Road $500 Per
Mile.

The annual meeting Of the directors Of
the Valley railway was held Thursday,
at the office of the company in Cleveland
A committee appointed at the last meet
ing reported in favor of authorizing the
mortgaging of the road in the sum oi
$40 900, per mile to complete and equip
it.
The vote in favor of mortgaging was
decidedly in favor of the movement
Those interested in furnishing the means
will be amply secured, as the value ofthe
property will be $4,000 per mile,
The following directors we're elected ;
A, B, Stone, L. V, Bockius and w. J.
Boardman.
Between Cleveland and Akron the road
is almost ready for the rails. About a
million of dollars needed to complete it
to Canton, and to provide necessary
equipment for the whole line.
The affairs of the road have been man.
aged with fidelity, care and efficiency. II
is to be hoped there may be no further
delay in the matters ofpushing it forward
to an early completion, which can be done
if a negotiation of the bonds can speedily
be accomplished. This done, next fall
we may look for direct communication
with both Cleveland & Akron.
