THE COUNTY JAIL.
What Couple of Impersonal Legal
Lights Do.


A Herald reporter yesterday visited the
county Jail, which is getting almost emp
ty these days. A contingent of % Chi
namen arrested near the Mexican border
for having smuggled themselves into the
United States, had left short time be-
fore to be returned to the land of their
were but 59persons left in the jail. Most
of these were confined in the tanks. A
mong these is Clayton White, the amia-
BILE attorney who wanted to annihilate
his divorced wife short time ago by
kicking her to death. He was anxious
to know all about the printers strike but
was called away to his supper before the
reporter had had time to explain to him
the many peculiarities OF the business,
which could not have failed to strike
Whites legal mind.
Mr.. Damron. who enjoys the freedom
OF the corridor, did not give the reporter
a chance to interview him. but disap-
peared quickly from the public gaze into
the secrecy of the cell where at one time
Anschlag used to receive the bouquets of
a number of misguided females. 1t is
said that the Honorable Slick Jim ha
considerable legal practise yet which he
transacts within the precincts OF his
present abode. He will be brought up
before Justice Austin this morning to
stand examination on the three charges
of forgery which have heretofore been
mentioned in this paper. 1t is under
stood that Damron does not feel kindly
disposed to Mr.. Lawson for the part he
has taken in the inquiry concerning his
alleged misdeeds. His friend Lockwood
is still a constant visitor. Damron is
yet supposed to be in the dark as to the
man who sold him out to the constable,
but there is good deal OF comment re-
specting a certain newspaper reporter in
view of the axiom which he was so fond
of repeating, that above all things never
give away a friend"

expense of an exhibit at the pavilion in
San Francisco from Sep. 9th to 10th was
decided on account of the lack of funds
but the Secretary was instructed to ten
der the Native Sons all the aid in the
chamber.
The Secretary was instructed to pre-
pare letter to prominent fruit raisers
in various parts of the county asking
them to call meetings of producers for
the purpose of furnishing statistical and
other information and to notify the Sec

ITS MAGNITUDE.
A Reminder of the Johnston Disaster.

A copy of the Johnstown, Pa, Weekly
Tribune received in this city yesterday,
contains full list of the victims of the
terrible flood, by which that city was
partially swept away. The list makes
934 columns of solid nonpareil type, and
contains 2200 names, with the addresses,
and gives a better idea per- haps than
anything else could, of the immensity
of the terrible disaster, which shocked
the world.
The same paper also contains an
itemized statement of the receipts and
disbursements on account of the flood,
from which it appears that something
over $4,000, 900 was contributed, all of
which was expended, with the exception
of about 100000.

A GOOD IDEA.

The plan OF making the State and
county taxes payable in two equal in
-stallments has been adopted in several
States, and is found to work admir-
ably. The following from the Reno
Gazette is a timely suggestions:
It has been suggested by quite u
number OF prominent taxpayers that
the law should be SO amended as to
make taxes payable in two INSTALL
ments, say in November and May.
There is much, too, to be said in favor
OF the proposition. Take it in this
county, for instance, where there are
$4,000 or more tied up that is taken
out Of circulation that the State or
county does not need for six months
TO come; still it is locked up in the
vaults, there to remain, doing no one
any good. II half the taxes were
made payable in November and the
other half six months later, we be-
lieVe it would be better all around.
We would recommend that in franz
ing DIR new Constitution this subject
be taken under consideration, and
would suggest that one half Of the
total amount Of taxes be made pay
able between the first day of Novem-
Der and the first day of December in
each year, with a proviso that in case
the first installment be not paid by
the first day of December, 10 per cent.
penalty for delinquency be added to
the whole tax; and the second INSTALL
ment be made payable between the
first day Of May and the first day of
June following, with 10 Per cent. on
all amounts unpaid on the first of
June.
For example: AS taxes for the
year 1899 are 800, of which $40 are
due between the first days Of Novem-
Der and December, 1890. Should the
: $40 remain unpaid on the first day Of
December 10 per cent. penalty, or 50,
would be added and he would be per-
mitted to pay the fret installment, of
S12, as we'll as the second installment
also, at any time before the first Of
June, 1891. Should the whole amount
remain unpaid on the first day of June,
1891, then an additional 10 per cent,
or 81, should be added, together with
6l.25, Auditors foe, and 81 for adver-
Using, making the total amount
S27.25, and collection should be made
as is now provided by law.

EFFECT OF THE DOWNWARD
SLIDE.

The downward slide of silver is
having it's fleet on the furnaces and
other buyers of ores all over the min
ing regions where custom ores are
purchased by the daily New York
quotations for silver. For the last
month the buyers have been getting
the worst OF it, as silver has not I'M
frequently fiuctuated from three to
four points in a day under the Sher-
MISUNDERSTANDING silver law
which all of these demagogues and
special pleaders claim to be "better
than free coinage" The loss to some
Of the heaviest buyers of ores in these
parts has been very considerable. The
silver market has continued to go
down, down, down, steadily day by
day. 1t slumpod or jumped or cor
flumoxed three points on Wednesday
Of this week., One buyer lost on a
single batch OF ore 1920 over night by
the down hill hop, skip and jump of
silver in tho Wall street market. This
Same buyer wakes up of nights to
curse old Bill Stewart for saying that
the new fraud Of silver law is "better
than free coinage"-and no is Re-
publican, too. The truth is, the new
law is not silver law at all. 1t is a
political law passed to pull tho Re-
publican party in Congress out of tho
anti-free coinage nine bole into which
it had fallen by opposing BANDS mo-
tion and standing by the Window
fraud. Think of lot Of idiots, or
scoundrels, representing State like
Nevada in Congress, voting for q
measure to make of silver commod-
ity like hoop-poles and pumpkinsl

NO BOGUS PHONES HERE.
The Bell Company Hasn't Detectives at
Work in Pittsburg.

The American Bell Telephone Company,
of Boston, has had detectives at work for
some time locating bogus telephones, and a
few days ago informations were made
against number of persons for infringing a
patent Of the Bell Company.
When Superintendent Harry Metzgar. of
the local company, was asked if many
bog us telephones were used in Pittsbufg he
replied: "No. 1 think not We have no
detectives employed keeping track of peo-
pie, but if we find a man using a private
line that infringes on our patents, we notify
him to discontinue, and that is sufficient
We never think of bringing suit; that ism It
necessary"
"Not long since we discovered an agent
selling telephones mere, and We told him
unless he stopped we would be com mpelled to
bring him to time. He desisted. The fact
is, private line is not of much value in a
city. A man wants to be connected with all
parts Of the territory, and then it doesn't t
paw, If man is sued, he is mulcted for
damages and must pay the cost of prosecu-
tion. The private lines are used more in
the country towns. 1t may be possible that
some are in use now in Pittsburg, but we are
bound to locate them before much time
elapses."
