morning. Their examinations have
been set for Monday and Tuesday next.
Gregocio Castro, charged with embez.
element, was examined yesterday and,
in default of $500 bail, he was recon-
mitted for trial before the Superior
Court. From present indications Castro
stands very good chance of several
years residence at the State Hotel, San
Quentin. Besides an old indictment for
horse stealing, there are three commit
ments for embezzlement; two from City
Justice Morgan's Court and one from
Justice Ling's, against him.
There was only ono sale on change
yesterday. A car Of feed barley on track
at $l.45. Wire baled hay is offered at
$l4 to SIS in quantity te suit buyers.
Holders Of barley are firm for Sl.45 de-
livered and there are bids out for this
cereal at $l.4O to sl.45, as quantity,
quality and place Of delivery. The fact is
barley is irmer than yesterday. The
stock here is not excessive. The rains
will create more consumptive demand
both for feed and seed purposes which
prevents the price from falling.
On account of the continued inclem-
ent weather the testimonial benefit to
Miss Fannie Marston. prima donna of
the Biiou Comic Opera Company, has
been changed from this evening to FRI
day evening. Aside from the pro-
gramme being very entertaining one,
Miss Marston, the beneficiary, is most
accomplished artist and is deserving of
liberal patronage. Reserved seats can
be secured at Day & Browns music
store, opposite the postoffice.
The rain has its peculiar effects,
whisky often acting as the peculiar
cause. A man, who is enrolled on the
police books as John Doe, was taken to
Jail yesterday morning by officer Hornor
and Special Diffenderfer charged with
being very drunk. And he was about
as saturatedly full as one individual
could well be. His idea was that If he
filed up with corn juice he would thus
keep out the rain and succeed in making
away with the buggy and horse which
were found in his possession and which
another man charges him with attempt
ing to steal
A gentleman, recently arrived from
Chicago, intends adding an attraction
to the pleasure of the visitors at Santa
Monica during the summer season. He
proposes having convenient wharf
constructed and number Of pleasure
boats built TO be used for sailing or row.
ing parties. This has been one of the
much-felt wants, and few good boats,
with reasonably good landing facilities,
will prove remunerative 10 the owner.
This same gentleman intends to have
'mall steamer ply between Catalina Is
and and Santa Monica for conveying
passengers from one point to the other.
Should these plans be carried out the
OF our Pacific Long Branch
will be largely increased.
