If the heavy and continuous rains that have
been falling for some time are to be regarded as
indicative Of the setting in of the regular Ooto.

may be considered out of season. The Sugar

the falling showers may do some good to the

ago by the celebrated buccaneer, Morgan.
The story, as detailed, is that an old sailor
trading on the coast discovered this vast amount
of hidden treasures, and secreted about his per-
son several thousands of pounds in doubloons,
from which he spent on his arrival at Colon,
when he was arrested and thrown into prison
where he was kept in close confinement for
sixty days. The British Consul obtained his

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN Francisco, Jan. IA. Isador and
Simon Wormser of New York have filed
o complaint in the United States Circuit
Court against the Bank of California.
Plaintiffs own 200 shares of the stock OF
the bank. The complaint alleges that
the trustees, with the exception of Rails
ton. we're guilty Of gross negligence and
Encouragement in surrending the con-
troll of the bank to Ralston. who applied
the funds Of the bank to his private pur-
poses, whereby the bank lost IL million
dollars and the stock became worthless.
After the death of Ralston change of
Trustees took place and the trustees
made certificate of election the bank to
continue existence under civil code of Cal
ifornia intending to relieve stockholders
of individual liability. Plaintiffs did
not consent to the action and deny its
legality. On the 3rd of December the
directors levied an assessment of ten per
cent on the stock Of the bank. Plaintiffs
allege other assessments will be levied
and payment enforced; that according to
their information the bank is insolvent
and that at present the stock will not
bring at forced sale over ten dollars per
share, and pray the court to restrain the
bank from selling stock or acting under
the certificate continuing the existence
of the bank under the civil code.

WAsHoE CoAsT1No.-As persons at
distance may think strange OF 80 many
serious accidents occurring here among
the men and boys who engage in the
sport OF coasting, We may be allowed to
explain. 1t is not that our people are
more awkward than those OF other re.
gions, or that their bones are more
brittle, that 90 many arms and legs are
broken, but is owing to the steepness of
the coasting grounds and the reckless
ness OF the coasters. The cross streets
that are the favorite resort of tho coast
ers are 80 steep that loaded teams can
only pass up them with difficulty even in
summer. The ground stands at an angle
approaching thirty degrees. These in
clined planes are now covered with glass
ice, and the sleds shoot down them with
more than twice the velocity of the swift
est express train on railroad. To pass
down the steepest OF the streets ON a
long, trimbuilt, steel-shod coasting sled
is the next thing to being shot ont of a
cannon. Toward tho end Of tho course
the velocity attained 10 fearful. The
sleds frequently leap from ten to. fifteen

AN INTERESTING LAW PoINr. Charles
Cussin some time ago recovered judg-
ment against John 7. Little for ST.
1874 Sc, and the Sheriff returned the exc
cution issued on the judgment as un-
satisfied. Judge Morrison then made an
order directing Little to appear before
the Court Commissioner to answer as to
his property. The Court Commissioner
reported that he must satisfy the
judgement, az he had the means. Lit
tle's counsel then made an application to
the Fourth District Court to set aside
the Court Commissioner order, on the
ground that he did not agree with the
facts OF the matter. In granting the ap-
plication yes terday Judge Morrison said
that it appears from the evidence
that Little had had some $4,000
on deposit in the Pacific Bank,
which stood in his name as
agent. Little followed the business of
broker and agent, and the money had
been placed in his hands by clients. The
judgment was obtained before the money
was deposited and could not therefore be
understood to have any claim upon it.
Little had explained to the officers of the
bank that the money was only in his
possession as agent, and could only be
touched for the special purposes for
which it had been placed there. Suisse
quently the money had been drawn upon
by checks in favor of Little, and only
about eight dollars remained. 1t was
clear to the Court that the money thus
deposited formed no part of any property
owned by Little, and could not be at
tached for the satisfaction of any pay.
ment. He therefore set aside the order
of the Court Commissioner.-1S 8. p
