THE GREAT GOLD FIND.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE APPEAL

Was it j. w, Marshall or s. Child
| To THE EDITOR OF THE APPEAL
As there just now seems to bt
considerable discussion regarding
the original gold find in California
| would like if possible to tell what
| know about it. [ reached Suffer s
Mill shortly after the find and from
conversations I had with parties
there am of the opinion that the
first actual finding of the gold was
done by little girl. There was a
woman there whose name [ think
was Wymer. She said her little
girl was playing in the stream and
brought Marshall a yellow pebble
sit was first supposed to be. Mar
shall pronounced it gold, and Mrs.
Wymer said she boiled it in a soup
pot to get the dirt ali off. Ny re-
collection is that the nugget weighed
about an ounce, Mrs. Wymer told
me that it was matter of dispute
between Marshall and the child as
to who found the nugget and she be
lieyed the child found it. She told
ME the child's name at the time
but | have forgotten it. [ think
that the true story Of the find was
this. The child picked up the mug
get in her play and probably handed
it to Marshall who was standing
near. Perhaps but for Marshall the
child might have thrown it away
and that would have been the end
Of it, OF course Marshall aband-
oned everything to hunt gold when
he knew he had such good thing,
but he tried all he could to keep
the matter secret and discouraged
emigrants from stopping there By
assuring them that the gold find
was all humbug. Still human ma
ture is the same the world over, and
! guess you cant much blame him
for that. [ might fill columns with
a description Of the scenes which
followed this discovery, but the
thing has been described so often
that [ would be telling nothing new
Mrs. Wymer, [ understand still has
the nugget and attempted TO sell it
to the Pioneer Society for $2,0G0.
but they didn't buy because she
could not prove that it was the orig
inal genuine nugget. | know saw
the original nugget, but [ do not
think after all these years | could
againrrecognise it. Yours truly,
Il. L. BIGLoW.

The work sells not only on account

The Empress of Russia has written
an autograph letter to Miss Cleve-

The Empress has a great admira-
ton for the work, and makes the
request on behalf of her countrywo-
men. George Parson Lathrop, the
poet and novelist, has written a
highly complimentary letter about
it, and Joaquin Miller says he is
quite enthusiastic on the subject.

PHILADELPHIA, August 11.-An
explosion occurred this morning
on the steamer I. W FELTON,, just
after she had left her dock on her
trip to Wilmington, Del. just OPP
posite pier No. s the passengers
and crew were startled by an eX-
plosion which shook the boat from
stem to stern. When. the smoke
cleared away it was found that the
forward part Of the vessel, above
the water line, had been badly dam
aged and a number of passengers
injured, some severely. The pilot
house and entire upper deck at the
bow presented scene of utter
wreck. Tugs proceeded at once to
the injured vessel, and with the as
sistance of a police tug which was
lying near by at once began to re-
move the injured.
An ambulance Of the Pennsyl-
vania hospital soon arrived and
took most Of the injured to that
institution. Only four persons are
thus far reported as seriously in
jured-a boy and girl and two men.

PIANO STRUCK.
How SEINE People are 6aaradi-
capped.

It seems to be the ambition of
every family, no matter how stu
ated, to own a piano. Every young
girl is supposed to be the heir APP
parent to piano. 1t doesn't mat
ter, in the least, how little her ear
for music may be so long as her
feet are big enough to cover the
pedals.
When a girl gets fairly wild to
own a piano, and her parents are
unable to pay for it, they must
either get a piano or send the girl
10 the Reno Insane Asylum. 1t
would be much better to send the
girl to the Asylum, but they most
always make the mistake Of get
ting the piano.
Then the season Of ''scrimping
begins. The family must worry
along on meat once a week, and
round steak at that, go without
good clothes, stay away from the
theatres sell the old COW, mortgage
the pig and live on air for two
years. Then when enough is ac-
cumulated in the sack to get pi-
ano, a gorgeous instrument comes
up from San Francisco, for which
two prices have been paid. 1t is
sure to be Of the latest make"
and so worthless that when the girl
begins her work On it, people next
door begin to inquire into the pro-
cess Of dynamite manufacture. 1t
seems pretty rough for a family to
keep its nose to the grindstone for
two years to secure a piano for a
girl that can't play the scale cor
rectly, if she practices till she's
gray. But they DO it all the same
and this is why there are forty
eight pianos in Carson to one
musician.

with E,relIer.s Father

Interview with E'relIer-s Father
! New YORK, August 1.-THE
Herald S London special says The
father and brother Of Prellvr, the
young Englishman murdered at St
Louis, were shown today by a cor
respondent the insurance yarn told
by Maxwell at San Francisco
While at first inclined to be highly
indignant at such a strong refec'
ton on the murdered man, they
finally said the statement was SO
ridiculous that it could only end in
convicting Maxwell. Preiler's ia
ther is a gray-haired man. to whom
the recital Of the horrible circum-
stances attending his sons murd ar
have been extremely painful. The
father said ".Iy son was a young
man Of excellent habits and quiet
tastes. He had the best of pros
poets III life AMI good salary.
lie might have made more than
the insurance policy calls for on
that one trip. He had no money
difficulties and his tastes were of
such nature that the total disap-
pearance from all his musical and
ali other friends would be Il thing
impossible for him to consider,
even though it were possible for
him to benefit largely by such dis
appearance. | cannot see how he
could benefit at all, for he would
lose by it an excellent position and
brilliant prospects. He knew
nothing Of Maxwell here. They
were merely steamer acquaintances
drawn together by my sons fond
ness FOR music" Neither Preller
nor his son will go to st. Louis to
attend the trial, as they think
nothing would be gained by so do
ing. The trunks, boxes, etc, be-
longing to young Preller have been
forwarded from St. Louis, and
prove never to have been touched
since they were packed at his home
in England.

THE DUTY ON RICE.
The Board of Trade Protests Against
the Ruling of Secretary Manning.

The Board of Trade Protests Against
the Ruling of Secretary Manning.
A meeting OF the Board of Trade was
held yesterday to protest against the
ruling of Secretary Manning on the
broken rice question. The brewers, who
are the great consumers OF broken rice,
claimed that it should only pay duty of
% per cent.
The Collectors OF the port of New York
have ruled differently at different times,
as the law Ia not very specific on that
point. The growers and domestic dealers
have maintained that twas intended that
2 duty of ~ cents per pound should be
charged. The question rested on the
pOint whether the broken rice is a manu-
lactured article or not.
Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
Fairchlld recently instructed the n ew
York Collector TO charge the 20 cents
per pound duty. The importers carried
the matter to Secretary Manning, and he
has just decided that a 20 per cent. duty
is al that shall be charged.
The board yesterday passed the follow
Ing resolutions approving the ruling Of
Mr.. Fairchild:
WHEREAS, The Board OF Trade of savan-
nah have heard with astonishment that the
Collector OF the port OF New York has recon-
mended the secretary Of the Treasury 10 per
mat the Introduction OF broken rice at % per
cent. All vaiorem duty, and that the Secretary
las confirmed the Collectors opinion; there
fore. be 10
hesoiUsd, That this section is largely inter
ested IN the producing of rice. and as a large
population OF freedmen who. bv their train
iug, are entirely untitled to engage in any
other occupation, that we respectfully protest
against the decision OF the Secretary OF the
Treasury, as being contrary TO the spirit OF
the law ana damaging o. our planting inter
ests and colOred lahOrera.
hes0'rs0, That 10 is an undisputed fact
that the rice rs imported is not manufactured
but simply a broken rice. and that the whole
crop of foreign rice could easily be broken in
milling H. and thus an admitted on the 20 per
cent. duty 10 the entire ruin 81 our planting
interest, and also TO the detrauding OF the
government Of q large sum OF the revenue
hesoiged. That the ruling Of MIR. Fairchid
ON TIE same subject was Just aud equitable
and according TO the spirit and letter Of the
law, and'ask that his decision be final.
Ref0i1ed, That copy OF the resolutions be
transmitted 20 Mr.. Manning, the Secretary
Of the Treasury.
