SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.-All quiet.
The unemployed kheld another meeting
at the sandxlot this Afternoon and were
addressed by Mayor KalIoch, who told
them that while their grievances are real
ana their talk for the most part sensible,
| yet the continuation of such gatherings
only aforded opportunity for the utterance
OF lll-tlmed expressions and likely to
retard rather than advance the object
IN view; that judicious committee
would be appointed with whom he would
freely confer and to whom he would report
the progress, in the meantime meetings
had better be dispensed with, subject to
call OF the committee. This was satisfac-
| tory to the crowd and no more meetings
will be held for the present.
10 day the seat of war has been remov-
ed from this city to the Assembly Cham
Der at Sacramento. where it has assumed
serio-comic aspect. Since his return
from the East kearney has been making
himself very of6cious about legislative log
rolling, ETC., inside the bay. This led to
a motion yesterday, evidently aimed at
kearney, to exclude all but privileged per-
sons from the floor of the Assembly. After
adjournment kearney approached Adams
and used threatening language towards
him on account of his action on the mo-

the Assembly Chamber and from the gal
lery. lobbies, halls, committee rooms, etc.,
under control of the Assembly. 1t was
referred to a special committee. who, after
hearing the evidence, decided to report
that Kearney had been guilty of an at
tempt to lntimidate Adams. Besides
this there was very lively passage in the
Assembly to-day over another matter. A
few days ago Maybell, Workingman mem
Der of the Assembly from San Francisco,
teleeraphed to Kearney.
We hear you are erecting gallows on
the sand lots. There is more need of
erecting a gallows in Sacramento Come
up Immediately; bring some hemp"
The telegram found its way into some
of the papers to-day. Resolutions were
introduced to inquire into the matter, in
the course OF which a very lively discussion
ensued; during which Braunhardt, work
ingman from San Francisco. fatty refused
to obey the order Of the Speaker, to sit
down, and was brought to the bar Of the
house aud suspended three days. Suisse
quently when the Kearney question came
up Braunhardt appeared on the floor and
demanded the right to vote and the Speak

Remains of an Awful Fall.
Davenport Democrat

Among the passengers with the train
from Council Bluffs, Friday morning. was
Mr., Geo. r. Parks, of New York. who
met with the awful accident in one of the
Nevada mines few weeks ago. He was
being raised in lift" from the bottom of
the mine, and when it was near the top the
machinery above broke, and he went down
like fash to the bottom, and was shot out
of the lift distance of thirty feet. When
it is considered that he fell nearly five
hundred feet with that lift" the aston
lshment of the miners when they ran to
him and found him alive may be imagined
He was not only alive but was sensible.
Both his legs were very badly fractured,
and his system was very much Jared. he
is wealthy-ableato pay for any amount OF
care and attention. and IN his Journey
nome is attended by physician and
nurse, and two stout men whose sole busl-
ness is to watch with him. lift him upon
stretcher and carry him when he changes
cars. and transfer him from the stretcher
to his berth. Furthermore the engineers
heading the trains toEwhich his car Is
attached. have instructions to start and
stop with great care. so that no unneces-
sary jar can be felt by Mr.. Parks who is
panied by the least roughness Of the riding
OF the car, He will probably be feeble all
the rest OF his days-but he is cheerful. is
interesting In conversation, and says he Is
resigned to whatever life may be his as the
result of his fall; but that he feels good
deal more willing to pass into the last
sleep now than he did when he stepped
upon that lift" in the bottom of the
mine--ln fact death would be a blessing.

Ca t tarrhal
POI s ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
L. That Catarrhal Colds become a poi
souous infection, at first local, and finally
constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional. the infection Is
beyond the reach Of mere local remedies.
3. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrh1a
and Consumption,
S. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations' and
Insoluble Snuffs, cannot possibly remove In
fictitious infsmmations from the organs named.
s. That an autidote ior CstArrh must pos
sess an inoculative affinity for, and the quality
Of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.
Based upon these plain Theories, DR..
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved
infsllible. It not only re1eaves, it cures
