The Work of Jaw Gould.

New YORK, December 16th.-The Wall
street Indicator, conservative financial
paper, says editorially this morning
!. Months ago we predicted the ultimate
downfall OF Jay Gould, and the verifeation
of that prediction will some time be found
to have dated from the day that Judge
Gresham so thoroughly dissected him and
his methods. Smarting under the stinging
censure of an honorable Judge, Gould un-
doubtedly has given the aid OF all his great
resources to the movement to destroy val
ues, The hand of Gould is plainly visible
in the slaughter of prices yesterday. Bent
on revenge, he saw no better field in which
to work it out than the stock market.
Gould's power is now broken, and the last
desperate chance he has taken will be the
end of the great operators influence upon
the market

Let Me Have a Mild
CIGAR.

VyHE ABOVE REQUEST IS HEARD DAILY
| in cigar stores, saloons and other places
where cigars are sold, for it is an undisputed
fact that most smokers prefer a mild cigar, and
that those who have Tor long time smoked
strong cigars principally imported Havanas,
will, after having thoroughly Injured the stom-
ach aud impaired the nervous system, surely
want mild cigar, if they could find the right
kind.
How many thousands of smokers who suffer
from loss of appetite, headache, nervous irrita-
bility, asthma etc, and who have tried all pos
sible remedies without success, might be cured
if they knew that their sufferings were caused
that they should only smoke mild and properly
prepared ones.
1t is fact that not all mild cigars agree well
with smokers for in most cases there is a lack
OF in the selection of the tobacco. and often
the necessary experience for it is wanting, yet
there is one brand which suits the most fas-
tidious smoker and that is

They are Made to Crack Gold Nuggets
and Stale Chestnuts.
WASHINGTON, December 16th.-The EUe1l-
ing Critic publishes tonight story told by
General Sherman of the discovery of gold
in California: Captain Suffer brought into
General Mason's office several small pack
ages of samples and spread them out be-
fore US. The specimens present varied in
size from fish-scales and split peas up to
the size of beans. Mason asked if l knew
how to testif this stuff was gold or not. |
said Certainly and Immediately tried
my teeth on lump, and made an indenta-
ton, which impressed me that it was mall
leable. l then sent out for hammer and
an ak, and pounded several pieces out flat.
This was crude but practical test; but we
then applied acids, which verified the fact
that the samples were genuine gold. l
was at once sent up to the dig
gings and made thorough examination
of The gold discoveries, which were rapidly
being found in new localities, and in won
derful amounts. l returned TO Monterey
with quantity of specimens, and drew ups
an official report to the Government, which
was signed by Mason. This report, accom-
panied by a quantity of samples of gold,
was forwarded by a special bearer of dis
patches, who was no other than Henry d.
Cooke, recently First Governor OF the Dis
trict of Columbia.
CARRYING THE NEWS.
He was sent off in a small sailing vessel,
with instructions to intercept British
steamer on the southern coast, and
make a rapid transit to Washington,
regardless of expense. We had not
then been advised of the ratification.
of the treaty with Mexico, ceding
California to the United States, and were
necessarily very anxious that the Govern
ment should possess information of the
discovery of gold at the earliest moment
Thus, less than forty years ago, "Old Te-
cumseh's teeth" made the first official i'm
pression-put the first Government stamp
of value on to the subsequent thousands of
millions of gold delved from the mines of
this modern land OF Ophir, and it is fair
presumption that more than half of the
inhabitants of this republic, who are enjoy
ing it's wonderful prosperity, resulting
largely from the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia, have been born since General Sher-
man indented the first gold specimen with
his teeth

The McNIulIen Charges.

New YORK, December 16th.-Appraiser
McMullen denies the charge that he
had permitted fraudulent under-v valuations
of cutlery imported from Germany, made
by w. H. Osborn McMullen said Osborn
was sent abroad a year or more ago at the
instance of certain American manufact-
urers of cutlery. who urged upon Secretary
Manning that he be appointed special agent
of the Treasury Department to investigate
certain rumors of fraudulent under-valua-
ton then current. 1t is understood the
American manufacturers paid Osborn S
wages. McMullen said, further, that Os-
bornswas undoubtedly animated by malice
in publishing his present charges, because
when he applied to be Special Examiner
McMullen rejected him on the ground that
his moral character was bad.

A FOUL MURDER.
Michael j. Dolan, a Hackman, Riddled
with Bullets and Killed.
[san Francisco Post, December 10TH

1 lSuu FTduCisCO IOSl, DeCeluDHT luLI-
The already long list of murders com.
mitted in this city was last night swelled by
| the addition of one more-tbat of Michael
| J. Dolan, hackdriver, by William Rowan
| the owner of cabstand. About O'Clock
| this morning message by telephone was
| received at the Central Police Station ask
| ing that policeman be sent TO the june
| ton of Geary and Kearny streets to quell q
disturbance. Policemen Hickey and An
derson were sent out. When near the cor
ner they met policeman Burris and special
| Lindyille. They knew of no disturbance,
| and accompanied the others to the corner
All seemed quiet, and the men went into
| the saloon of Adam & Kibbe and asked the
| barkeeper if he had turned in the alarm.
He said that he had not but Dolan, who
was present, spoke up and said that he had,
| because Moak (Rowan's partner and
| Rowan had been creating trouble. Dolan
was drunk at the time, but all else seemed
| quiet, and the policemen started to return.
When they reached the corner of Post
street they decided to go back and arrest
| Dolan for drunkenness. Hardly had they
turned when they heard cry of Police y
| from Dolan they broke into a run, and
| had gone but few steps in the direction of
| the men when they saw flash and heard
| report.
RIDDLED WITH LEAD.
Rowan stood on the northwest corner of
| the sidewalk, his pistol in his hand. Dolan
was Just off the curb, on the crossing, not
| more than four or five feet from his assail-
ant At the shot Dolan swung around and
staggered onto the sidewalk. A perceptible
| interval elapsed before Rowan fired again,
during which the policemen got up very
| near to him. Before they could reach him,
| however, Rowan fired another shot, and
| then three more in rapid succession. When
| the last shot was fired Hickey was not
| more than six feet away. Rowan attempted
| to fire another shot, but his pistol was
empty and only snapped. Dolan sank to
| the sidewalk just as policeman Hickey
grasped the murderers wrists. You
needn't hold me; won't run away" the
latter said, and made no resistance. Po-
| licemen Burris and Hickey took Rowan to
| the police station, while Anderson and
| wounded man into a hack As ne was
lifted up Dolan exclaimed: "Tm shot !
| This is the last of me- My poor family p
These were the last words spoken by him.
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital,
and placed on an operating table, but before
even his clothes could be removed he died.
The bullet which was the immediate cause
of his death struck him in the small of the
back, Just to the left of his spine. Another
ball struck him about the groin, and prob
ably passed into his abdomen. Still an
other passed through his right shoulder.
The weapon from which the shots were
fired is a new Smith & Wesson self-cocking,
five-shot revolver, thirty-eight caliber. 1t
is nickel-plated, and the handle is of
mother-of- pearl.
