SAN FRANcIsco, April 2S.-The following
assessments were levied to-day Utah,
$3.50; Mexican, S1.00; Argenta, 25 cents I;
Scorpion, 40 cents.
To-day's proceedings. relating to the
estate of VIM. s. O'Brien, again came up
in the Superior Court, Judge Finn presid-
ing. The point under consideration WIS
the question of confirming the first annual
report Of the Executors, which was some
months ago referred to VIM. A. Stuart,
the referee selected by Judge Myrick, then
Probate Judge. Messrs. Holiday Il Ire
hure, representing John H. Burke, objected
to the confirmation on the ground that the
accounting did not show all the property
of the inventory. After argument, the
Judge said: II will confirm the report and
direct the Administrator to charge himself
with all the property in the inventory, not
including in the accounting the advances
to the heirs, which shall be charged against
them" The decision is regarded as a point
in favor Of Holiday & Trehure, inasmuch
as 1t requires the accounting OF all the
PI OpCIly ucolBEdtcu III tu6 luftHtOTNt WHICH
includes the Oakland real estate invest
ments. 1t is understood that the Oakland
investments are in such shape that the Ex-
ecutors cannot make an estimate of their
value. Some two or three advances made
by the Executors are not to be a charge to
the estate at the present time.
Yesterday afternoon a man was found
lying dead, with his throat cut, in the water
closet Of the Public Library, on Bush street.
He had cut his throat with a pocket knife,
which was lying beside the body. The re-
mains proved to be those OF Arthur Evans,
a native of England, about rs years of age,
who was employed in the Saddle Rock 0ys-
ter Saloon, on Pine street. Cause, whisky.
James McNulty, q native Of New York,
aged IS years, fell down the stairs OF the
basement Of the house, No. 81, Everett
street, last evening, and received injuries
which proved fatal in about an hour.
A man giving the name Of John Thomas
was arrested last night charged with being
drunk. Upon being searched a copy OF the
oath Of the Council of IS was found op
his person, and to-day he was recognized
as one Mccormick, and proved to be a
member Of the Council. This Council,
which is said to be at the head of the Com
munist order in this city, meets in secret.
Their organization is very secret, even the
members of the order being ignorant OF
their deliberations. Their orders are pro-
mulgated by one who is called an Agent
Council Claim. The agent is not o men,
Der Of the Council, but is known to be one
Of its numbers. The oath found on Nc
Cormick is a very strong one. 1t promises
to support the edicts of the Council, and
respond Immediately to the signl when
called upon, and binds a member to carry
out all orders. II he fails he is promised
sure and swift punishment, and if he is
faithful and true he gets his reward. II
has been learned, from parties in the
secrets Of the order, that the Council is
not q part Of the Workingmen's organiza-
ton. 1t is also learned by the police that
the organization, which was, strong a few
months ago. is now rapidly going to pieces.
Dissention and distrust OF each other have
done their work, and within the ranks all
is discord and chaos. The iron-clad oath
Of the Council has not prevented several
members from proving traitors to it, and
through them the police have been able to
thwart and defeat many of its plans.
