Ed. Godfrey is charged with threaten
ing to kill John E. Williams last Mon
day. The account of the affair given by
Williams is tb at he rents some furniture
of Godfrey, and the latter came around
when he was quite drunk to collect
money which was not yet due. When
Williams refused, Godfrey began to
throw things out OF the room. Williams
protested, and then Godfrey declared
that he would get weapon and finish
his existence then and there.
Frank Thompson, laborer, was ar
rested yesterday morning on First street
on the charge of having assaulted Tom

grew out of a row in which Moran,

saloon near the Southern Pacific passen-
ger depot. All three were drunk.
Thompson says that the others pitched
into him and began choking him. The
weapon used was pocket-knife. With
this he stabbed Moran in the abdomen,
perhaps fatally.
The Chamber of Commerce will hold

section before the next Congress will be
the special subject. General William
Vandever will be present and address
the Chamber on hrrber appropria-
tons, the Port of Entry Bill and the
OF the proposed public

An article in an evening paper, de-
scribing avisit to the city jail, speaks of
the cells being in foul condition. This
is both unjust and untrue. Every part
of the Jail is scrubbed once day and the
greatest care is taken to keep everything
perfectly clean. In the various CRITICS
inns which have been passed by the
morning papers on the practice of max
ing receiving hospital Of one of the
cells in the jail, no discredit has ever
been cast on the manner in which the
jail has been kept by the officers who
have it in charge. They have invariably
made the best of a difficult and awkward
state OF things.
