telegraph company to acknowledge the right
! and justice Of their demands.

o'clock last evening Chinese merchant was
sitting on the railing of the Third.street
bridge over China slough, enjoying cigar,
when the railing broke and the Celestial was
precipitated into the filthy water some fifteen
feet below. The water ct the point where be
fell was about ten feet deep, and the China.
man being no swimmer was III great danger
Of drowning. The accident was witnessed by
a score Of his copntFyIneu, and the g XII vi %
Ri vi !" that they set'up was deafsning in
the extreme. The bridge was immediately
| crowded with hundreds of the denizens Of I
street, all apparently anxious to render some
| assistance. A Chinaman came running
down the bridge from l street with 8 long
rope, 30 the end of which was attached q
large iron hook. The rope was thrown 10 the
drowning Monaghan as he was disappearing
for the third time, and as luck would have Il
the;hooll caught in the seat of his trousers,
and e dozsn willing hands soon pulled the
Celestisl from the water and upon the bridge.
