AFTERNOON sEssIoN
A Mystery.

Every one remembers well, who has
passed that way, the old New York House,
which stood short distance below the foot
of Scott mountain, in Trinity valley. 1t is
situated in one of the most lonely and un-
frequented spots to be found in this region.
Formerly it served as stopping place for
travellers and teamsters, but of late years it
has been deserted altogether save by an oc-
casional tramp or hunter that took refuge
in there for single night. Last week il
took fire and burned down. Curiosity
prompted some of the passers by to look at
the ruins, when to their amazement the
outlines of grave were discovered directly
beneath where once STOOD the house. A
crowd of persons were soon collected, and
the grave opened, when the skeleton of
human being was discovered that must have
lain there the last twenty years or more.
And now the question is. who is this mys-
terious dead that has been buried beneath
the old New York House? What murder
and robbery took place there SO long age
that all traces of the missing one is lost:
Already we hear the first of the numerous
stories that will spring up concerning this
mystery. 1t is said that about twenty-five
years ago man left Indian Creek mining
camp with large sum of money, and was
last seen about half way down Scott noun
tain, since which time he has never been
heard from. II will be strange indeed if,
after all these silent years, this matter
should be traced up and brought to light.
One thing is certain, viz; a murder has
taken place at this spot. and the victims
bones were buried beneath this old way

GAMBLING BoYcoTTEp-Dr. J. B. Trem-
bly,, of Oakland, employs a Chinese SER
want. and that is the reason, by the way,
that he has been placed on the list of the
boycotted by an Oakland Anti-Chinese
League. The Chinaman is a smart servant,
but he has the passion for gambling. and
once in while he INDUCES it to discs
trous extent. On Sunday last he came TO
this city and did not return until yesterday
morning. When he returned he had no
money, and gold watch, which had been
given him by DR.. Trembly, also was miss
ing. The boy was very respondent, but he
raised his spirits sufficiently to ask for
money. The request was refused. Then
he took pistol from drawer, went to the
stable, and, holding the pistol in his left
hand shot a hole through the palm of his
right hand Mrs. Trembly heard the re-
port of the pistol and ran TO the stable
Sam was standing there very quietly. Mrs
Trembly asked what was the matter. The
boy lifted his bleeding hand and said
Sam no gamble with that hand any more
The wound is painful, and will cause the
boy partially to lose the use of his hand
This is the most effective case of boycotting
an evil known on the coasts. +. Bale.

A New SwINDLE.-Two enterprising in
dividuals have been reaping quitea harvest
of late by clever imposition on Chinese
merchants. They have been visiting the
various stores in the Chinese quarter and
collecting money to defray the expenses of
bringing an army of 10000 soldiers to San
Francisco to protect the Chinese residents
against the Irish. One would receive the
money and the other would make entries
in book he carried in his hand When
ever a merchant showed incredulity, in a
serious degree, the men would ask for a
Chinaman who could read English, and, if
such one presented himself, the men
would show him copies of the local papers
telling of the approaching muster of the
Grand Army of the Republic. They de-
clared they were Government officers and
that the Government was going to bring
this grand army here to overawe the anti
Chinese agitators and make the Chinese
perfectly secure in all their rights At one
place these swindlers obtained $50, at an
other S33, and it is believed they collected
an aggregate of several hundred dollars
An intelligent Chinaman, who speaks Eng
lish fluently, acquainted Bulletin reporter

POLITICAL POINTS.
Cleveland from Colored Point of View
Fairs Opinion.

by Telegraph.I
New YORK, June 15th-The Freeman, the
organ Of the colored population, is out
with strong eUlogy of the President which
may point to important political conse-
quences at the South, should Cleveland
have any ambition to be his own successor.
1t says among other things He is good
enough President for u.s. We believe thor
ougbly III his patriotism, in his incorrupti-
bic honesty We believe he has the best
good OF the country &C heart, and aims to
execute the laws as he finds them. Fur
ther. no President since Lincoln has SYM
psthIzed more earnestly than he with the
hopes and the aspirations of his colored
fellow citizens
SENATOR FAIRS VIEWS.
Senator Fair, of Nevada, is speaking out
with reference TO the political future with
great plainness of speech He saws that
Cleveland will run again in 1888, if the
party desires him. His marriage may make
him more ambitions. He lost his right
bower in Manning He was Democratic
fortress, all manned, ready for action. He
was the chief man in the Cabinet, and
knew all about politics. HIS retirement
may weaken Cleyeland's chances in the
next Convention. | think IT he is NOM
mated he will be elected.
BEN IUTLER To RUN FOR GOVERNOR.
New YORK, June l5th-Tbe Heraid's
Boston special says. The political circles
of the Hub have been more or less dis
iurbtd of late over the report that Ben
Butler is about to enter the field for Gov
ernor at the coming State election. The
Democratic party is not so we'll satisfied
with CleyeiarA as II was one year ago, and
many think that Butler had a prophetic
foresight when be made his stand against
his candidacy. There are Democratic az
well as Republican mugwImps here this
year. Their number is not growing less
as new appointments are laade and, unless
the Administration changes its policy the
Democrats will be ready not only to ignore
the President. but to indCrse his enemies
by the time the Convention meets.

orally felt in that city that King Ludwig
was insufficiently guarded Sunday evening.

been exercised the body of the King might
have been terminated"
The correspondent maintains that when
King Ludwig's financial extravagances
first began to make trouble in Bavaria, no
hint was given that he was affected with
insanity, and adds: The real truth, fear,
will never be known"

Gold in Colombia.

New YORK, June 15th.-A Washington
dispatch printed yesterday told about an
American expedition to the United States
of Colombia. The dispatch said S. P Bell
furnished part of the money to equip the
expedition. Bell said yesterday: There
is plenty of gold down there. The climate
is not unhealthy. The trouble is chiefly in
dealing with the Inhabitants. They smile
in your face and stab you in the back.
They put off everything until tomorrow
so often that an American loses patience.
There is no way OF getting machinery and
supplies to the mines except on the backs
of mules and Indians. 1t is tantalizing to
think of the gold there that is just beyond
the tips of your fingers. To get at it one
would need to take 1000 well-armed men
with ample supplies, and they would have
to be familiar with the Spanish language
and Indian lingo to make any headway.
Such an expedition, if well disciplined,
could bring back shipload of gold but
anything less imposing is sure to get
stranded in Carthagenan
