SAN FRANCISCO. October 5tb.-A wealthy
Chinaman named Charley All Wah and three
of his countrymen have been very neatly
victimized by "Melioan man." A few
days ago white man, whose name has NOT
been ascertained, but who is known as an
opium fend, told Charley a specious story
about friend OF his serving a senteucs at
San Quentin, and who had before his iacar
ceration melted up lot of stolen gold into
bar worth about $40, 600 TIE convict
wanted to leave the country On his
release, and would sell the bar cheap
being afraid to offer it through the usual
channel. Charley and three others consid-
cred the proposition. and three days ago, by
appointment, the white man brought what
purportea to be the bar ia question. The
Chinaman clipped and filed it, being eau
toned now to work so as not to deface the
bar unne cessarily, the white man catching
the clippings and filings In his hand. He
then, it is presumed, changed hands on them,
and the Chinaman found the clippings to as
say about SIT to the ounce. Satisfied with
the prospect, they finally bargained for the
bar for the compromise price of Sc, 600, and
shortly afterwards found that they had pur-
chased a lump of composition plated with
gold. The ''heathen Chiuee is disposed to
reverse Bret Harte's dictum.
Archbishop Alemany is in receipt of q tels-
gram from the East, announcing the death at
jersey City of Rev. P. J. Caiser. Father
Caiser is well-known throughout this State.
He was the builder OF st. Bonifce Church in
this city, and for many years its rector. He
went East some months ago for his health.
