REPORT OF THE SAN FRANCISCO
GRAND JURY.
Numerous Other Fay Items.

SAN FRANcIsco, August 81.
The Bulletin this afternoon will publish
an article relative to the Pinney-Carr mat
ter, which some time ago created such a
sensation. The article is based on cor
rcspondence, which will be published in
to-morrow's Cal, owing to being too late
to put in type to-day. The letters have
been collected from time to time by W. b.
Carr, and show the existence OF a conspir-
acy against him, the nature Of which is
fully developed. 1t appears that at the
time Pinney absconded he owed the banks
about half a million, and that on his re-
turn he endeavored to shift the response
bility oil Carr. Later, he gathered the
letters referred to, and showed them to
the bank officers, ON which the latter at
once dropped the suits against Carr, alleg-
ing they had been deceived by Pinney. 1t
also appears that the money obtained by
Pinney was lost in stock and mining oper-
atoms, and was not used for political pur-
poses, as has been charged. The CORE
spondence shows a most adroit and shame
full conspiracy against a number of per-
sons prominent in business and political
circles.
Collections for the relief of the yellow
fever sutfererers are going on to-day,
although but a comparatively small
amount is obtained, Saturday being the
worst day in the week for such business;
about 81, 500, however, was turned into the
Treasurer. Superintendent Gamble Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company to-day
forwarded to John Van Horn, Superin-
tendent of the Southern division, $500,
subscribed by telegraphers of this coast,
for the benefit of their fellow operators in
the fever stricken cities of the South.
The Grand Jury reported to-day. Among
the indictments are six against ]. G. Dun
can for forgery in raising certificates of the
stock of the Safe Deposit Company. There
are eight charges Of forgery against Dun
can and Kofahl, cashier of the defunct
Pioneer Bank, and a charge of embezzle-
ment against r. M. Clarken, formerly
clerk of the City Criminal Court, were
recommended for re-submission to the
next Grand Jury, on account of absent
material witnesses.
Exchanges at the Clearing House the
past month have been the largest since its
organization, aggregating over SO, LOO, 900.
Wheat clearances for the month were also
greater than any month since 1876,
amounting to forsy-four cargoes besides
two or three likely to clear this afternoon.
The Citizens Committee. to solicit sub
scriptions for the yellow fever sufferers,
are in receipt of a number OF communica-
tons from places of amusement rendering
benefits. All churches, societies and pub
lie bodies will be called upon, and it is
believed that San Francisco will roll up a
subscription second to no city in the Union
in proportion to its population. To-mor-
row a printed call for aid will be mailed
to officials and prominent citizens in every
town OF consequence in California, Nevada
and Oregon. The money received will be
forwarded from day to day as it comes in.
1 m 1Gartrffnng 10 tha amount nf nearly
So 0 were obtained yesterday by q COM
mittee appointed at a meeting OF citizens
to collect funds for this purpose. To-day
the committee will telegraph to the How
ards Of New Orleans 50. 900, and to the
Towards of vicksburg and Memphis 81 800
each. The committee expect to obtain
nearly as much tomorrow. One hundred
dollars have been received from Bakers
field.
One Of the crew of the British ship Co.
ralla, now loading at the Oakland wharf
for Liverpool, fell from the topsail yard to

stantly killed.
Six more bankrupts filed petitions yes
terday, and a grand rush is expected to-
dav, which is the last day of grace.
Portland dispatch says: LEVER Lewis
was hanged at Empire City yesterday, for
the murder Of his brother in 1876. He
showed a vindictive spirit to the last, ac-
cusing his relatives Of a conspiracy for his
conviction.
The Wonderful B0die.
BoDIE, August 81.
The Bodie mine made its first cleanup
to-day. Total for the month a little over
$500, 900; expenses for the month, $40, 900;
number Of tons worked, 1860, making an
average Of about 5000 per ton, probably the
best showing of any gold mine that there
is any record Of. Experts who have visited
the mine in the last few days say the truth
has not half been told regarding its rich
ness. The mine shows no signs OF failing,
and the space left where the ore was ex-
tracted is hardly perceptible.
Relief for the Sufferers.
BAKERSFIELD, August 81.
The citizens Of Bakersfield raised to-day
over 500. which is to be sent by telegraph
to the Howard Association at New Orleans
