PACIFIC COAST.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 3O.-At q
quarter past twelve. Kate Lawrence
accom- plished the feat of walking
one hun dred miles at Platt's Hall, in
~ hours and 40 minutes.
A Chinaman was shot dead by one
of his countrymen this evening, in
Washington alley. The murderer
escaped. AS yet nothing is known
of the circumstances attendant upon
the murder.
The workingmen held a meeting
to-day in front Of the new city hall,
about five hundred being present.
The meeting was not altogether har-
monious. some showing a DISPOSE
tion to indulge in immcderate lam
gurge. while others evidently depre.
Gated any appeal to passion and
sought for a calm consideration of
the questions, at issue. AS far as
can be judged from appearances
these meetings do not enlist the sup
port of any very numerous element
of the working population of the
city, but appear rather in accord
ance with the voices of certain irdi-
viduals representing limited con-
stituency.

THE WAR IN EUROPE.

VIENNA, Sept. 28.--A seizure OF
arms and 1000 shrapnel shells at
the custom house in Pesth, is caus-
ing considerable sensation. Sixteen
cases of breech-loaders, 36, 900 cart
ridges, and several boxes of Turkish
fuse caps have also been seized in
transit. The Vienna government
has ordered an investigation. Con-
sidering the places at which these
preparations have been found, it may
be predicted with some confidence
that the plan was not only to assist
somebody in Hungary, but likewise
to make an expedition in Roumania.
As no force that the Turkish SYM
pathizers could send could influence
the war, the intention was evidently
to compromise, if possible, and en-
broil the monarchy 50 as to drive it
into active measures on the side of
Turkey. Such proceedings, how
ever, will cause no alteration in Aus
tria's policy.
New YORK, Sept. 26.--A special from
London says rumor prevailed in Cons
stantinople that Snleiman Pasha had at
last succeeded in In.ercepting the COM
munications Of the Russians occupying
Schipka Pass with the town of Gabrout.
Also that the Turks have succeeded in
cntting off the retreat of the Russians,
surrounding them on all sides. Anoth-
er rumor prevails in Constantinople
that Osman Pacha has achieved an i'm
portant success at Plevna. 1t is stated
he repulsed the Russian attack on the
eastern redonbt. The Russian loss is
set down at 5000.
Fever is prev alent III the CZarovitch's
army. and dysentery has increased
much with the bad weather. I he spirits
OF the troops is unchanged, however.

Mrs. Honora Runk, mother OF
young Runk, now confined in the
county jail under sentence of death
for the murder of Police Officer
Coats, visited her son in the Jail.
While there she gave up to the jail~
er d key constructed of small pis-
toi barrel; and said that she found it
on the street. On trial it was found
to fit the locks OF all the cell doors.
On being more closely questioned
and threatened with arrest if she
did not disclose how it came in her
possession, she refused to answer
further, saying she would remain in
Jail six months sooner than give any
one away. It is surmised she visit
ed the Jail with intention of passing
the key to her son and causing a
general Jail delivery, but her cour-
age failed before she could accom-
piIsh her purpose. through fear of
fatal consequence likely to follow an
attempt at All outbreak, and the pos

Thea he came North as 10 !; !!.lld

a tramp and walked to New
York. When he arrived in that
place he had IL cents, which he
invested in a clean paper collar
and had his boots BACKED.
Having known Baldy Smith
in better days he called on our
Police Commissioners, and poor
and seedy as he was, met with a
fine reception and got some mon
ey, after other friends had refus-
ed to give him a cold potato.
For some weeks he wandered
about New York seeking for
something to do, and one of his
friends Miss Kellogg remem-
bered bin in the days ofold as her
entertainer and patron, and pre-
sented him with a suit of clothes.
AT last he met accidentIy a gen

The State of Virginia has lev

The State of Virginia has lev
led a tax of 2! cents per drink
on spirituous, and II cents per
drink on malt liquors, and have
affixed to each bar q register,
which is worked by the barkeep-
er. and denotes the number of
drinks taken. Every customer
being interested in the payment
of the State debt, takes good
care that his drink is properly
registered, so that no chance for
"knock down" is left the vendors.
On Tuesday, the first day Of
the registers, there was quite an
excitement am ong the portion Of
the community that usually pat
ronizes the drinking saloons.
AS the little black boxes were
placed in each bar, fastened by
screws to the counter, crowds
flocked in and called for drinks
just for the very novelty of lis
tening to the tinkling sound of
the gong produced by the reyo-
luton Of the crank as the bar
keeper registered each drink.
1t was curious to notice how ca
gerly the patron after swallowing
his straight "toddy," beer or
julep, would bend forward and
intently watch the operation of
the crank and take in the S'ting"
