license or drug store license. Some pre-
dict destruction to the Republican party in
this county because the Commissioners are
Republicans. The whisky clique are in
very bad spirits, while the temperance ele-

The Broken Deck Bear OF the New

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, San. 3.-Naval
Constructor Fernand, speaking to-day OF
the broken deck-beams OF the cruiser
Charleston, said that about three weeks
ago while two Of the beams were being
bent TO proper shape the wide fange OF
the upr er part of the beam cracked and
he then continued the heavy strain until
the beams were broke IN two, but the
lower portion Of the beams did not splice,
simply bending together. There was
nothing astonishing about the fracture,
which was liable to happen in any mate
rial. The strain was also applied from
below, direction from which they
would not be called upon to bear strain in
active practice. He attached no import
apce to the case. Ga the whole, the ma
terial entering into the Charleston was OF
unusual excellence.

The first business day of 1888 brought
q good trade to retail dealers in Fort

got down to business yet, but the mer-

A great number Of merchants from dis

through the day and made personal pur-
chases OF goods, but order trade has not
fairly commenced.
Country produce is In very good sup

prices are rather infirm. Eggs dropped
