WRONG AGAIN.
A "Reminiscences of Pioneer Days-The
Blowing Up OF the Sycamore.

"Reminiscences of Pioneer Days-The
Blowing Up of the Sycamore.
In the Bee of Thursday appeared the fol-
lowing, under the head of The Correct
Date >
n. L. Drew, of this city. says the published
statement that the steamer Sycamore was
blown up at the wharf at San Francisco on Oc-
tober %, 1850, is incorrect. He says that the
disaster occurred on August ., 1850 Mr. Drew
had Il brother-in-law who arrived in San Fran
cisco on August l. 1850, to take passage Tor New
York on the Sycamore. 1t is supposed that he
boarded the steamer, as he hasn't been heard
from since.
AS usual, the Bee is wrong. 1t can no
more change the date of that disaster than
it can the name of the McCloud river.
The Alta California of October 81, 1850,
says: ION Tuesday afternoon, October
29th, at moment when our citizens were
rejoicing in general jubilee, the festivi-
ties were marred by the announcement of
a disaster, the most destructive TO life
which has ever befallen our city. AT
o'clock, Just as the steamer Sycamore was
casting off from Central wharf with large
number of passengers, bound for Stockton,
her boiler burst, with terrible explosion.
Masses of timber and human bodies were
scattered in every direction. Many were
recovered by the numerous boats which
lnrODgeQ ABOUT tQe scene Oh the disaster.
The boat was complete wreck, and from
among the fragments were taken the dead
and dying, mutilated in manner shocking
to behold.
The cause of this sad affair is perhaps TN
known. The Sagamores boilers are nearly
new, and were pronounced by the Boiler
Inspector to be the best in the port. 1t
may have been caused by lack of water,
and we are informed by one of the passen-
gers on her last trip down from Stockton,
that her pumps were very much out of
order. One of the passengers on board at
the time of the explosion informs US that
steam had not been blown off for half an
hour previous to the accident Whatever
the cause may be, rigid investigation is
necessary, in order to prevent, if possible,
similar accidents in future.
Capt. Cole, the master of the boat, was
blown a distance of fifty feet into the water.
He is considerably injured, though his
wounds are not of such nature as to pre-
clude speedy recovery.
The number of persons on board at the
time of the accident cannot be accurately
ascertained, as the passenger. list has not
been found. We have heard it variously
estimated at from 75 to 100. Many bodies
were so much mutilated that it was found
impossible to identify them. Limbs and
fragments were gathered up in baskets"
The Sycamore was a new boat, having
been built in May, 1850. twenty-five were
killed. a large number seriously wounded,
and three were missing.

THE FIRST LIGHTNING RoD.-If we
are to believe an Austrian paper, the first
lightning-rod was not constructed by
Franklin, but by monk of Seuftenberg,
in Bohemia, named Prohop Diwisch, who
installed an apparatus the 18th of June,
1854, in the garden of the curate of Prem
ditz IMoravia). The apparatus was COM
posed of pole, surmounted by an iron rod
supporting twelve curved up branches, and
terminating in as many metallic boxes filled
with iron ore and closed by lockwood
cover, traversed by twenty seven sharp
iron points, which plunged at their base in
the ore. All the system was united to the
earth by large chain. The enemies of
Diwisch, jealous of his success at the court
of Vienna, excited the peasants of the To-
cality against him, and under the pretext
that his lightning-rod was the cause of the
great drought, they made him take
down the lightning-rod which he had
utilized for six years. What is most curl
Gus is the form of his first lightning-rod,
which was of multiple points, like the one
which NJ. Melseu afterward invented.-La
Lumiere Electr7que.

NOT DISCARDED.
General Barnes Exonerated by the Su-
preme Court of Certain Charges.

preme Court of Certain Charges.
SAN Francisco, March 2d-[Special. i
The Supreme Court this afternoon rendered
an opinion in the proceedings to disbar W.
H. L. Barnes the counsel for the defendant
in the celebrated Sharon divorce case ac-
quitting him of all the charges. Barnes
was charged with employing Max Gumpel,
the expert, to testify that the Dear Wife !"
letters were forgeries, and with paying
Mclaughlin $4,000 to steal the alleged
contract between Gumpel and Tyler.
The opinion of the Court is written by
Justice Temple, and is concurred in by all
the Justices except Searls (who did not
hear the argument and Thornton, who
disagree as to Barnes innocence of one
charge.
The Court finds that Gumpel endeavored
TO bleed Barnes, and that he was justified
in dealing with him as he did. They find
that the second charge is not based on any
evidence showing criminal intent and if it
was, that the persons who tell McLaughlin's
story are unworthy of credence.
Justice Temple says - | concur in dis
charging the accused, while regretting that
one so high in the profession should be
guilty of conduct which requires explana-
ton"
Justice Thornton concurs as to the con-
clusions on the Tvler-Gumpel contract, but
disagrees as to Barnes guilt on the first
charge.

Lots of Dissatisfaction With the Tariff
Bill-Randan's Plans.

Copyright, 1885, by Tie California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 2d.-Now that Con-
gressmen have had chance to digest the
Mills tariff bill, opinions come more
freely. The general opinion on
the Democratic side is that the
bill is altogether quite fair. but there are
still quite number that are dissatisfied
with its provisions. The Louisiana men
are outspoken about the handling of
sugar, and insist that some change must be
made before the bill can expect TO have
their support. When pressed for decision
as TO how they will vote. they refuse
to pledge themselves. However, it is
evident they are nursing the hope of
being able to have sugar better treated
The wool men are indignant, and say they
cannot, under any Circumstances, vote for the
measure in its present form.
Randall has announced his determina-
ton to do all he can against the bill in its
present shape. 1t is admitted that he
is nearly done with his own tariff bill,
and will submit it probably next week.
This bill, | am told by protection Demo-
Gratis, will be compromise measure upon
which there will be a possibility of both
wings of the Democracy uniting.
After the adjournment to-day of the
House there was caucus of the Democrats
OF the Ways and Means Committee, to go
over the Internal Revenue sections of the
tariff bill. They were in session over two
hours, and came to some final agreement

JAPAN's NATIONAL FLOWER. - The
cherry blossom is the national flower of
Japan, as the rose is of England, the lily
of France, the thistle of Scotland and
shamrock of Ireland. On the Mikado's
flags, papers and carriages, and on the
soldiers, caps and uniforms, you will see
the open chrysanthemum. But the flower
of the people and the nation is the flower
of the blossomIng cherry tree. The Japa-
nese cultivate all over Japan, by millions,
the sakura tree, which is valued only for
the beauty of its blossoms. From an en-
tire tree you could not get ripe cherries
enough to make pie; but the blossoms are
massed together on the boughs like clouds,
and the blooms are often as large as a rose.
Picnics in Japan are called "Going to see
the flowers" In June millions of the peo-
pie go out to sing and sport and laugh and
play under the cherry trees, or to catch
the "snow showers that do not fall from
the skies" There are tens of thousands
of stanzas of poetry about the cherry tree.
Some of the people become so enchanted
with the lovely blossoms under them, as to
even worship the famous old tree.

AN ELEGANT STRUCTURE.
The Catholic Club, of New York, to Erect
Costly Structure.

New YORK, March 2d.-The Catholic
Club will soon have domicile that will
rank with the finest in New York, includ.
ing even the beautiful house of the Union
League, although smaller 1t will face
Central Park and will stand on the South
side of Fifty-ninth street, just west of Sixth
avenue, and near the famous Navarro
apartment houses.
The building will be five stories high,
with front of seventy-five feet and a
depth of 100. 1t will be built of pressed
brick, terra-cotta and stone, in the German
renaissance style, and the architect pro-
poses to make it model. The ground
was purchased for $4,000. The cost of the
building is estimated at $4,000 more. One
of the qualifications required of candi-
dates for membership is loyalty to the
Pope and heads of the church.
