A fearful accident occurred on Biz Bar
bridge, which spans the Mokelumne river.
on the road between Jackson and this place,
last Saturday afternoon A Chinaman who
has been driving little two-horse spring
wagon from Stockton here and interme-
date places for several years, and known
as the - China Fish Peddler," was taking a
load of Cinnamon TO Jackson to China
celebration, and when lie had driven about
half way across the bridge the team, con-
sisting of mule and horse, stopped sud-
denly and Immediately began to back, and
striking the railing on the side of the
bridge carried q section of it away, and
wagon, horses and men went crashing pell-
nell to the powders in the bed of the river,
distance of about twenty feet. There
were three Chinaman and a little China
boy, besides the driver, in the wagon. APP
pretending the danger. one of the
Cinnamon wisely jumped out upon
the bridge before the wagon broke
through the railing, and was unhurt, but
the rest, keeping their seats, took the terri
rible consequences. One Chinaman was
instantly killed, and the others, including
the boy, had each a leg broken, besides
other injuries. The horse was killed. the

only the mule out Of the whole that went
overheard escaped uninjured. They struck

A Lost Bonanza.

A curio we'll worth having if it could be
unearthed is said to be buried somewhere
| in this valley. 1t is nothing more nor
| less than an Indian mortar of solid gold,
and was planted in the grave of an old In
| dian chief moons ago. Tradition has it as
| being about the size of common water
| bucket, followed out and rudely carved,
and, judging from accounts, would weigh
nearly fifty pounds. The Indians say the
specimen was discovered by the chieftain s
! daughter in the lava beds at the base of
] Lassen's Butte. With those aborigines it
possessed no value, except that of being
easily hammered into any shape desired,
| being in the form of utensil so highly
priced in those days. The figure of a bear
was rudely engraven on its outer surface,
with an Indian in full pursuit. The bowl
was never permitted to be used outside
| of the sachems family and was a
sacred symbol to the whole tribe. When
the old warrior died it was his request to be
buried apart from the general Durying
ground, and TO be laid away with the
precious jar securely at his side, and the
| bequest was needed The medicine man
| invoked the wrath of the Great Spirit upon
\ the head of the brave who should disclose
| to neighboring tribes the whereabouts OF
| the treasure grave, and to this day the spot
| has never been moleSted. The Indians
themselves have often sought for the golden
mortar, but without success. Two or three
generations have passed away since the
treasure was hidden, and it is now only a
matter of tradition, but the Indians firmly
adhere to the belief that some day the
precious jar will be unearthed. 1t is sup
posed to lie somewhere in the vicinity OF
| the upper falls of Fall river, and should il
ever be found some one Will possess q

THEY ARE TO GO.

1t was the apparent scheme of the Min
istry that the French Princes should go.
The Senate votes to exile them.
The Ministry has not, indeed. orr
ginal responsibility for the scheme,
for the fact Is that the extremists
in the Assembly pushed the policy upon
the Cabinet, and it lacked the courage to
reject it. We know from all prior ex-
preston that the Premier is an opponent
of the scheme of expulsion, yet he is a
party now to its proposal, as one of the
Ministry. Now that the Senate adopts the
measure the Government becomes as ex-
tremely radical in one direction as the
Monarchists are in the other. 1t boldly
naugurates policy opposed to the
spirit of republicanism, and one calculated
to make some of its test friends doubt the

sH0RTHaND REPORTERS.
How They AID Criminals to Escape PUN


Tss.n Francisco Post, June 22d.a
II. G.. Wells, who committed perjury in
the Sharon case and later confessed his per-
jury by swearing that his first statement
was false has escaped punishment for his
infamous crime by the criminal careless
ness-if not collusiye villainy-of an enl-
ploye of the Police Court. This young
man, whose name is 0'Cennor and whe
was the shorthand reporter of the Police
Court, took dowa the deposition of Senator
William Sharon on the original investiga-
ton, after Judge Sullivan had ordered the
arrest of Wells for his palpable perjury.
In transcribiug his notes for use in the
trial, he either accidentally or deliberately
wrote Alex. ID. Sharon, instead of William
Sharon. As the affiant, Sharon's deposit
ton was of vital importance to the defense,
| and when District Attorney Wilson found
| the error in the deposition, be sent for
| O'Conaor, to see if it could not be corrected
| in some way. 0Connor first said he had
| lost his notes, and later found the notes,
and said that he had omitted to put down
| any initials, and in his notes the deponent
| appeared as sharon"
| The District Attorney explained the mat
f.! te1 to Judge Wilson, and offered 10 produce
| any quantity of oral evidence to prove that
| Senator William Sharon was the deponent,
| and that the deposition was as he gave it in
| Court. But the Judge after examining the
| law decided that the dispositions could not
| be amended by oral evidence, and Sharon
being dead there was no way to remedy the
| willful or accidental mistake of shorthand
reporter 0'Connor, who was sworn to do
! his duty. So, because shorthand reporter
| willfulIy or accidentally changed the initial
/ w. into A D., man guilty of most in
famous crime goes free and cannot be pun
ished for his offense. This appears to be
law, and if Judge Wilson had decided to
amend the deposition be would probably
| have been reversed by the Supreme Court
/ A lawyer connected with the District At
torney's office, speaking of the matter
said This is one of the many evil results
of the jobs forced through the Legislature
to find fat places for lot of shorthand re-
i porters. The administration is at the
mercy of irresponsible men. The District
Attorney is forced to take the transcript o
| evidence and the record as it comes from
the Police Court TO try the case on in the
upper Court, and the slightest fault in the
record will set the criminal free. Time ant
again we have had cases dismissed by
Judge Toohy and other Judges on the
ground that the record sent up from the
Police Court was faulty. There has beer
scandal about the appointment OF Court re
porters and scandal in their plumbers, bu
what can we do? We have no power t
dismiss them, no power to correct their er
rors. and are often blamed for the eonse
