TILL TAPPING AND ARSON.
Thieves Enter Through a Back Win.
dow and RObb n saloon OF N small
Amount OF Money, and aQuantity

At an esrly hour yesterday morning,
thieves entered the SAP Jacinto saloon,
st No. 1881 Market street, and took from
the money drawer $3.50 in cash, and
from the Oar, sboa. $40 worth Of cigars
and liquors. The persons entered
through back window, BY prizing upon
the shutters and lowering the upper sash.
They then passed through room to the
hallway and Tito the cellar by means OF
a closet door. When once into the Gel
lar, they passed up into the bar-room
through trap door behind the bar,
where they found the amount
mentioned. After they had lett the bar
room, they found jug of cosl oil in the
cellar, and sprinkling the contents on
paper or rage, took the same up the
steps TO the hallway and on up 10 the
garnet, where the eombustib!e material
was thrown into the gsrret. The trsp
door was then shut and the fire burned
place about FIVE feet long by two feet
wide, when it ceased to do any other
damage Had the trap door been left
open, the fire would have blazed up suf-
| fciently to have destroyed tho building.
From the traces OF the thieves, it is very
evident that they were well acquainted
with the house, and sought to destroy
their deed by firing the building. The
proprietor had drawn the money
from the Merchants and Mechsn ics'
Bank the day before, to pay
his rent and several small bills
which were about due. Who the guilty
ones are is not known. The proprietor
of the establishment thinks It Is piece
OF spite work The residence IF not &C.
cupied, which rendered 1t more .ate tor
| the work OF the thieves.

motion to accept nothing bu fifty
cents per wagon load, or :wo Gems per
bushel, aud should the latter be agreed
to, he also moved that each wagon be
branded. These motions were discussed
at length, in which it was claimed that
the wagons used at the Goa banks varied
in their measurements, End that II the
price of 80 cents per wagon be paid,
there would still be sn uIjustness. The
fifty cents per wagon motion, on vote,
was carried rs il stood. 1t was decided
by vote that where all the men could
