half-mast over the State Capitol yesterday
in respect to his memory. The Office of
Superintendent of Public instruction.
where he has spent more than ten wears of
his life, was closed.
Superintendent Hoitt says of him;
Mr.. Moses has been many times tried in
the balance, but never found wanting. He
was capable and proved faithful to the
end, and was true, loyal friend. His
generosity of heart and openness of hand
| prevented him from accumulating any
property. No one in trouble was turned
away without assistance if it was in his
power to give aid. He was agreeable in
his manner, making friend of each &C.
quaintance, and had many warm friends
among the Superintendent and teachers
of the State, who will be sorry to learn OF
his DEATH"
Three brothers survive him at the East
but he has no immediate relative in this
State. The sudden and accidental death
OF his only son about two years ago was
crushing blow to him, from which he
| never recovered.

The steam-wagon a Success.

For two days past Henry Dehn, who has
the contract for grading and graveling .
portion of Twenty.eighth street, has been
employing steam-wagon for hauling
gravel, with great success. On Friday it
was first put to use, and easily hauled q
train of five heavily. loaded gravel wagons
from the pit near the old Beet Sugar
Works, and did it with such ease as to
prove that it is capable of hauling thrice
as many.
The gravel is said to be of excellent
quality, and to be had in abundance. It
looks as if the secret of cheap street inn
provement methods had at last been dis
covered

mine Is located. The case excites consid-
cradle interest in Placer county.

The Hair-Splitting Was Too Fine.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the de-
cision of the Superior Court giving judg-
ment for P. A. Humbert in his msndamus
suit against Controller Dunn to compel the
latter to issue warrants for his (Humbert's)
salary as member of the State River and
Harbor Examining Commission.
The Controller made the point that no
specific appropriation had been made to
pay the salary, except that it shall be paid
''out of moneys not otherwise appropri-
ated.' This, the Court holds, is sufficient.

Dear Sir: Some time ago / saw an item in
Boston paper stating that one John Coan had
become millionaire and that he acquired his
wealth in California, and also that he left Ire
land about forty-four years ago and landed in
this country with only one shilling in his
pocket. Now i had a brother of that name,
and about the same age. who left Ireland al
that time for this country, and never heard of
him since. He came from Sligo county, Ire
land. presume IL such a man lived within
your State you would be likely to hear of him.
You would confer great favor by making
some inquiries regarding him and communicat
ing with Michael Coan in care OF I. C. Stewart
