Nevada transcript, 18th: About 9
o'clock Wednesday night an immense cave
occurred at the Manzanita hydraulic min
ing claim, burying all their pipes, tools,
etc, and causing considerable damage.
All through the day the ground had been
caving, to more or less extent but no
apprehensions were entertained of such an
avalanche of gravel being precipitated upon
the miners, who had to flee for their lives.
The only thing they managed to save was
the large headlight, used for working the
claim by night, and they had to run with
it 700 or 500 feet before it was far enough
away from the moving mountain of earth
to be safe. It will take several days before
the pipes can be uncovered and washing

BICYCLING The initiatory "run" of
the San Francisco Bicycle Club was held on
Sunday, April 10th. The day was as de-
lightful as could be wished. AT 9 o'clock
the Club and invited guests, in all number
ing twenty-nine experienced riders, assem-
bled at the corner Of Twenty-frst and Mis-
sion streets. Captain Butler formed the
company into line, and the wheelmen
started for San Mateo. At 1870 they ar
rived at the Sierra Point House. Here
they dismounted for refreshments, after
which the bugler sounded the fall in,
and the wheelmen sped away for d. U.
Mills residence. Arriving there they en-.
joyed the pleasure of a ride over the splen-
did drives at his beautiful place. They
once more resumed their journey, and in
due time arrived at the residence of G. ".
Howard, at which place the wheelmen
were, through the kindness of the aforesaid
gentleman, allowed to hold their grand in
augural "meet of the season. The place
selected was under large and shady oak,
and on the banks of the San Mateo creek.
The cloth was here spread on the green
sward, and the wheelnen went to work in
earnest, it taking but short time for them
to dispose of the collation.. The bugler
soon sounded the I" fall in, and once more
the bicyclers were homeward bound, thor
oughly contented with their days pleasure.

THE GATHERER CASE.

Yesterday was the beginning of the third
week of the trial of Captain Charles n.
Sparks, of the ship Gatherer, at San Fran
cisco, on indictments containing some forty
counts charging him with cruelty to the
crew of that vessel.
Thomas Smith testified Was last first
mate of the ship Gatberer. Joined her at
Wilmington, on the Goth of last January.
Succeeded Mr.. Watts as first officer. Re-
mained on the vessel until we arrived at
the seawall in this harbor. Eight or ten
men were on board when Joined. Think
the men had plenty of food, as there was
an abundance on board. Heard the Captain
tell the steward to give the men plenty to
eat. There were some on board who were
not members of the crew. No difference
was made in the food between the men.
The steward fell down the after
hatch. The Captain was in bed. took
men down below and we brought him on
deck. He walked when he came on deck.
Two hours afterward he packed up his
things and went ashore.
10 Brown, colored, testified The first
mate struck me. The Captain saw my
face covered all over with blood, and told
me to 90 to HI. He did not say any
thing to the mate. This happened forty
days after leaving Antwerp. Don't know
the time in the day this happened. Think
it was very near II o'clock. Was in the
first mates watch all the voyage. The
third mate, Driscoll, was close to me at
the time. Was struck on the poop deck.
Was hoisting the topgallant.sail. The Sec
end mate was below. The witness stated
who were hauling on the rope with him,
viz: the mate, third mate, Gilman and
Mills. The mate struck me made blood
come all over me, and the Captain came up
and told me to go to hi. Never talked
this matter over with the officers and crew.
Was on Alcatraz Island with the other
men, but did not tell any of them what
the Captain said. Told that gentleman
(pointing to United States Attorney Teare)
of the circumstances a few days ago. Null
doom was at the wheel. Yes his name is
M, Cue, but we called him Muldoon. Don't
know that he was not allowed to take his
trick at the wheel Was struck after Hansen
fell overheard. Did not speak to the CAP
tain when he made the remark. The mate
spoke to the Captain. Did not hear what
was said. The Captain may have spoken
to the mate, but did not hear him. The
Captain was twelve or fifteen feet distant,
behind the wheel house. Can't tell how
far distant the Captain was from the man at
the wheel. Nobody told me to tell this
story here. That was the only time l was
struck, and the only time l heard the Cap
tain use those words. Was then struck
two times in the face. He knocked me
down. After being struck the mate or.
dered me to get bucket ot water and
wash the blood off the deck. l did so.

The situation at salt Lake.

SALT LAKE, April l7th.-The hints dropped durinl
the recent Conference Of the Mormon Church were
acted upon Yesterday the burden of all the dis
courses in the Tabernacles being that the Saint
must not trade with or patronze in any way the
Gentiles, who blamed for the late anti Mormon
legislation The policy is openly deprecated by con
servative Mormons who viii pay no attention to it
but the fanatic quite certain to obey thu
counsel and the consequence doubtless will be inan
cial trouble 1t is said that the Gentle merchants
will retaliate by discharging all Mormon employees
and buying nothing of the Saints that they
can avoid. If the lines are closely drawn in thi;
matter, much annoyance to both parties must en-
sue. Neither can get along without the other the
Mormons being the laborers, gardeners aud farmers
and the Geutiles having the money. The class feel
ing is becoming more bitter every day, showing it
self thoroughly in trade and society. People are
becoming anxious for the appointment OF Commits
soners Under the Edmunds law the registration
for the next election must be completed by the first
week in june and it is feared the Commissioner;
will not arrive to attend to IL.
