ranks of Democracy and Republicsnism.
Rev, A. J. Frost said it was well estab-
lished fact that Democracy could not carry
an election without the aid of whisky, and
Republicanism must soon awake to the
realizing fact that they cannot win without
the aid of Prohibitionists. After announcing
that Mrs Emily Pitt-Stevens would deliver
lecture on Prohibitionism in the First Bap-
fist Church tonight, collection was taken,
the doxology sung and the meeting adjourned.
CRUSHED BY THE CARs.-Charles Atwood,
one of the Central Pacific yardmen. met with
what is expected to prove fatal accident on
Front street, near the foot of l, yesterday
about noon. He was assisting in doing some
switching, riding on the top of one of two
box cars which the yard engine was backing
down to couple en- to others. About that
time q passenger engine came around to
Front street from the passenger depot, and
Atwood was called upon to get down and
open switch for that engine to get upon
track leading to tie round.house. Evidently
he misunderstood what was said, as it ap-
pears he got down and pulled the coupling.
pin between the yard engine and the car next
to it. No one noticed what he was doing.
ued to back down the track. The cars, when
first uncoupled, separated from the engine
little, but the engine closed up to them, and
Atwood was caught between the buffers,
having slipped as he was about to step out of
the way after uncoupling. His cutlery
caused the engineer TO stop in a second, and
the injured man walked little way and
then laid down, evidently in great pain. He
was taken TO the Railroad Hospital immedi-
ately, when it was found that the injury was
to his right thigh. Though no bones were
broken, the flesh and muscles had been
crushed in such q manner that the arteries
were injured beyond hope of recovery. 1t
was thought last evening that he would not
survive through the night.

such vigor that it was cleared away and the

PREsESTATIoN.-After the usual routine
business of Company b had been transacted
last evening Corporal Joseph Goddard was
called upon for speech. He informed the
members of the company that he had pur-
chased half interest in the Journal Of Free
dom, weekly paper in San Francisco, ard
that in the future he would make his home in
the city by the Golden Gate. At the close of
his remarks Sergeant Louis S. Crsckbon, in
an eloquent speech on behalf of the COM
pany, presented Corporal Goddard with
heavy solid gold shield as a watch-charm.
which ia engraved as follows: Presented to
Corporal Goddard by Company b, First Ar
tillery Regiment, n. G.. c." and on the re-
verse side, FEB. 81, 1884" The shield is
beautifully engraved, bearing emblems of the
National Guard, and is an elegant piece of
workmanship.
HoPs.-The latest quotations from the
London market show an extraordinary rise in
Belgian hops. The Continent is bare of
stock and buying. American hops are adj
vancing in price, with prospect that the up
ward movement will continue for soma time
to come. Choice are very scarce and the low.
est qualities bring strong prices. The stock
in the vicinity of Sacramento still on hand
is quite limited. The favorable turn in prices
is giving much better spirit to the business
than when the greatly reduced rates of the
past season prevailed. There will, however,
be but very little increase of acreage in this
vicinity in 1884, unless the present advance
in price of hons should be 20 strong "a to ere.
