MAKING FALSE REPORTS.

Not long ago the committee Of the
London Stock Exchange detected q
broker in reporting his sales and pur-
chases falsely. He was In the habit Of
shaving u little on quotations, report
ing his purchases ut an eighth or q
quarter above what he actually paid,
and his sales at "a corresponding dis
lance below the market. He was sum
msrily expelled. If a similar case oc.
Cured here and was discovered, the
offender would meet with scant mercy.
We do not think that the practice Is a
common one. 1t IL, to put 1t on the
lowest ground, a risky thing to at
tempt. There are 10 many checks and
entries TO be made that sooner or later
the fraud would come to light. And,

rate into theft.-S. r. Stock Report.
II does O metimes. We have per-
sonal knowledge of the fact that a
member in good standing of the San
Francisco Stock Exchange Board sold
for a client 100 shares of a certain stock
at 81 10 per share, and reported the
sale al 81 so. The client happened to
be present in the Board room (un-
known to the broker when the sale
was made-the only sale of that stock
which was made that afternoon by the
broker.
''Sold that stock for you" remarked
the broker. in a crisp, business like
way, as he walked into his office after
the Board-"got 81 80 a share for it,"
"You got 81 10 for IL, SIR" replied
the client, looking his man squarely
in the eye.
The broker redeemed up, fumbled in
his breast pocket nervously, and pulled
out his memorandum book, which he
pretended to scan very carefully; then.
with a painful effort to laugh, he said:
by jove, you're rigbt-it was 81 Is

it mixed up with an entirely different

The customer received his money
and left the office. He was not a large
operator, but he never took any
chances on that broker. - Virginia

Austria Proposes To Threw her
support TO Russia.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.
A Times Loncon special says: The
opinion seems to be gaining ground
that Austria proposes to throw her in
fuence, and if need be, active support
with Russia in exchange for an extern
lion of the Hungarian frontier. As
this might involve Francis Joseph in
trouble with Germany, it is arranged
that Triesti shall be yielded 10 that
Power for a seaport.
From a vices received to-day, II is
believed that the attempted junction of
Suleiman and Mehemst Ali Pasha has
been a success. This is an important
movement, and the Russians failure
to prevent it either demonstrates that
they are confident of their ability to
cope with the combined force, or that
for the present they fear to assail
either.

A FEARFUL SCENE IN A COLORA.
DO DANCE CELLAR.

PUEBLO Coli, August ll.--West Las
Animas has two rival dance houses,
owned by a Mexican and an American
respectively. There was a private
dance at the Mexican house last night,
and Jack Williams, the keeper of the
American dance house, collected "a
gang and went in to break it up. A
fellow named King and a Mexican
stabbed him. All hands then began
shooting. About 80 shots were fired.
Antelope Jack, a desperate, was in
stantly killed. Jack Williams was
shot In the back. The ball is still in
side of him, but he Is still alive. Will
liam Mnllin was shot in both hips and
dangerously wounded. Stewart, a coll

dangerously. Antonio Sandonvilie
was hit in the hip and hand danger
ously. King received a deep cut in the

A SHOT Al A WHISKY RUNNER
The neighborhood OF Third and Fol-
soin streets, san Francisco, was thrown
into a state of excitement recently by
a succession of blood-curdling yells of
murder. A man ran like a jackass
rabbit down Third, believing hat he
was shot. He brought up against a
policeman and wildly ex planned hat a
saloon. keeper had shot him through
the head because he hadn't paid for
his drink, and pointed tor corrobora
ton to the fact that he was bleeding
dreadfully. The policeman led the
man back to the saloon. where the sa-
loon-keeper atfably made things clear.
He had been much annoyed by bum
mers lately, and had determined 10
teach M of them a lesson. anyhow.
and when the n in question entered
and got his drink, the barkeeper pulled
u syringe in the similitude of a horse
pistol, and let loose a quart of stale
claret full in the face of the sponger.
That thirsty being took it for granted
that he had heen shot, and disturbed
the neighborhood AS related.

SENATOR sASaENr.

A gentleman occupying and exalted
position In this city, recently returned
from San Francisco, where he was
thrown in contact with q multitude al
the best, wealthiest and most intelli-
gent people OF the city. who manifest
great interest In political results this
wear, informs us that the popular
sentiment In reshapiu2 itself for Hon.
A. A. sargent. The thinking classes
and those who have much at stake in
pure government argue that Mr.. Ssr-
gent has proved an efficient and hard
working representative against whom
none of the charges OF corruption In
Office can DO sustained. -(Cdrsoa APP
peal.
This We presume Is on the ground
that sympathy always goes out to the
bottom dog in the fight. Sargent has
been . faithful and efficient represent
alive, and the shabby treatment he is
now receiving at the hands Of a por
ton of his party should not initiate
IN the slightest degree against his in
tegrity. Pinney and the Chronicle in
the role Of refofmers is the hugest and
raciest joke Of the age. Who, know
ing alfof the parties, would not repose
. thousand fold more confidence in
Sargent, bounded aud maligned as he
Is. than in any one of his traducers?
The whole truth of this business Is,
that the Senator vas supposed TO be in
somebody's way. Two years ago, he
and Gorham broke with the Central
Pacific railroad in the Republican
State Convention at Sacramento. From
that day Sargeut's political doom was
sealed. Another campaign coming
on. however, 1t was deemed advis-
able to kill him of beyond resurrec-
ton. The Chronicle and Pinney were
chosen TO do the dirty work, and
they have been doing it most effectu-
ally. Pinney was brought back for a
purpose, and that purpose was the
blackening Of the character of Aaron
A.. Sargent. The same power that in
duced his return is doubtless pledged
10 stand between him and the peniten-
tiary. But all this mud throwing was
unnecessary. Neither Sargent nor any
other Republican had one chance in
fifty Of winning the California Sena-
The Democrats 20 into the
fight with q majority of seventeen
among the hold-over Senators. This
cannot, in in all reasonable presump
ton, be overcome in the election of
new members. And thus it will trans
pire that Sargent, who never had any
chance Of success from the beginning
will b beaten, and the Chronicle will
boast Of its victory over the rings, and
the people Of the coast, not once stop
ping to consider the true status of the
case, will acquiesce in the same con-
clusion, and the real power behind the
throne will be happy.
