to the California delegation in
Congress, and urge that they use
their influence to defeat the meas
ure. Attention was called to the
in the new silver bill
which makes all silver ce rtificates
issued redeemable In New York,

Trial Pos,pOned
SAN JOSE, March 20th.-To-day
the case of the people against one
of the City Councilmen, Sol. w.
yesterday, indicted for bribing a
Juror, was called, when the attor-
neys for the defendant moved for a
continuance on the ground that
they had been engaged in the Dis
trict Court and could not give the
case the necessary attention, and
that an important witness, one ID.
p. Bysler, was absent, he residing
in Shasta; that they would prove
by this witness that Emery, the
principal witness against Easter
day, was a fugitive from justice,
having killed q man in Justices
Court room in Shasta in 1856 or
1857, and that he was unreliable.
Af1idavits to the above were made
by the defense. The District At
tOrney argued against continuance.
The case was set for trial on the
9th of next May. Bets are being
offered, without takers, that, on
account of Yesterdays being
backed by the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, the case will
never come TO trial. The public
are very much incensed that the
case is not tried, as yesterday yet
retains his seat in the City Coun-
ell.

VIRGINIA, New, March 20th.-A
body of water, the flow from which
was equal to 75 or 100 inches, was
struck on the 500-foot level of the
Crown Point mine yesterday moru-
ing. The water flowed into the
Crown Point and Belcher air shaft,
which it soon filed to height of
over 200 feet. The speed of the
Joint pump was increased TO its
fullest capacity, but failed to ham
die the water. 1t then became ne-
cessary, to prevent the flooding of
the Belcher and Crown Point
mines, to send part of the water to
the Overman through the connect.
ing drift on the 1600-foot level, to
which point it was raised by don
key pumps. Since yesterday even
ing the flow has decreased very
perceptibly and it is evident that
it proceeds from a pocket which
will soon be drained. This morn
ing the joint pump was slowed
down to five and q half strokes a
minute, and at that speed the flow
of water is not only handled, but
the accumulation in the Belcher-
Crown Point incline is being low
