July 2Gth, on steamer boupd for San Francisco. An ln- yestigation of Frisbee's books shows n deficit of about S1,OUU. The examination of the accounts ia not vet completed, and the defalcaton may prove greater. Frisbee came from Montana, and was highly recommended. After the defalcatiOn was discovered hls bouse was examined, when 1t was found that the furniture was gone. Inc gen eraI belief is that FrIsbee, on reaching San Franclsco, took aD Australian steamer. and has left the country.
 SAN FRANcIsCo, Aug. A fire thls morning at half past ten completely de- stroyed a large building at p Nam | street. occupied by the Schmidt Print- ing and LithographIng Company, and Taten S Bowen, machinlsts. The losses will probably reach half million. The builiing was a very large and handsome structure. and comprised all the mum bers from 9 to 31 on Man street. It bad "A frontage of go feet with a depth of 1871, feet. The lower floor was oc- cupied by Tatem k Bowen, dealers Tn oil and machinery. The two upper floors continued the machinery and stock or schmidt * Co, lithograpbers, the largest establishment of the kind on the coast The fire started in the vanishing de-
 partment through the upsettlng or a can of varnish near the fire. The flames spread with great rapidIty, and within n few minutes after the first alarm at
 seven minutes past ten all the upper
 storles were in full blaze. At lO:4J the
 rear portion of the roof fell, and few
 minutes later the floors of the third
 story came down with crash to the
 second floor, which, although severely
 threatened, stood firm and was the means of saving Tatem S BOwen's stock nm tbe ground floor, which has Oniy sui fered from the scorching 1t received. | In all the upper portion of the bulld- | ing the violence of the flames was so preat that all the water pouIed on them | from all the engines Ill the city seemed ! to produce no effect. The efforts of the | fremen were badly neutralized by the | constant bursting of the hose owing to l smallness of the supply pipes in that To- | cality. At II o'clock the worst was over and the fire was confined to the building where it originated. Many of the en- 1 ployees, many of whom were girls, es- | caped without injury, although several | of them were forced to make hazardous | iumps in their exit. The losses will not | bs SO great as were at first supposed, al- | though those of Schmidt x Co, are | closely estimated at SlI5,OUO insured | for Sg0,O0O. The names of the com panies are not yet known This with | the value of the building will probably | bring the total loss up to S3Oo,UUO. | The building was owned by k. R. | Thompson, of Alameda. It seems that | the upsetting of a can of varnish, which ! was the cause of the fire, is due to the | negligence of a Chlnaman employed m ! the building.
 ! LATER-The loss of Schmidt * Co. IS | S2OOOOO, insured for Sl2),OOO. Tatem | * Bowen. dealers in machinery and | lubricating oils, Sl5,OOO. fully covered. | Whalen * Tracy, book binders, Sl,UOO, | fully covered he total insurance k | divided among forty companies. Among | the largest holders ara the ftna, of | Hartford. 5000; Hartford Company, | S4.OOO; Royal England. S3,jOO. One ! hundred and fifty employcs have been | thrown out oi employment. The lusS ls ! less than was ori-.nully estimated and | will not exceed S-". ".o1h.
