BANKERS CONVENTION.
Financial Topics Discussed at the Secon
Days Session.

Financial Topics Discussed at the Second
Days Session.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 15.-At today's
session of the bankers convention the
report of the executive council was
read. 1t declared against the indorsing
of any views on national financial mat.
tiers, believing the topics to be treated
should be of local character. Papers
on Money Resources by G. P. Soule,
Eureka; on Payment of Mortgage Inter
est by Lowell White, San Francisco, and
Improved Methods by Frank Miller,
Sacramento, were read and discussed,
as were a number of others. A discus
sion was also had on the hydraulic min
ing question, George Ohlyer, of Suffer,
and Mr.. Bingham, of Marysville, speak
ing against it. Bank Commissioner
Geberding read an address, in which he
stated that there were three important
subjects which had not met the atten-
ton everywhere that they deserved.
These were irrigation, immigration and
the Nicaragua canal. He declared that
if the canal were built the farmers
would save 100000 annually in
transportation.

Reports from the Wine Growing Dis.
tricts Not Favorable.


tricts Not Favorable.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 15.-Reports re-
ceived in town from the wine-making
districts of the state are not favorable.
Fermentation is reported not good, and
it is known the general crop will not be
up to the average. Clarence Wetmore,
who has just returned from Santa Clara
county, which was believed to have an
unusually large yield this year, says it
will run far short of expectations. A
shortage is admitted in the yield for
the Napa, Sonoma and Livermore dis
tricts, so that it is now certain that the
production of dry wines will be below
the average. The Pacific Wine and
Spirit Review has received information
from all over the state which enables it
to predict that there will be shortage
of 100000 gallons in the production of
clarets and white wines. This means
higher prices for wine between now and
spring. There will be an increase in
the production OF brandies and sweet
wines, for which ready market can
always be obtained.

murder case commenced here today.
Last July, in Monterey, Howes shot and
killed young drug clerk, named Wag-

ment, and an attempt was made to

TWO BAD GANGS.
Let the Police Look After Them As
Soon As Possible.

Let the Police Look After Them As
Soon AS Possible.
The police OF this city are doing excel.
lent work in breaking up gangs of toughs
and corner foafers. but when these gen.
try are driven from one place they seek
new haunts. Finding the city ''proper"
too hot, they have taken refuge in the
outskirts, One OF these hoodlum clubs
holds it's meetings at Maple and Pine
streets, Lafayette. 1t is of a higher order
than the usual gang. 1t does not take its
beer in tin plates like the common. every
night gang, but has it piloted over the
bar in schooners.
After bath they take possession of the
in loud singing, cursing. swearing and
fighting all night. One Of the members
of this gang got in a dispute with an
other the other night, and for his pains
was thrown off the stoop, and when
picked up his arm was broken. That
night the gang broke up early and the
people of the vicinity slept in
peace. Another of these gangs congre-
gates nightly on tne Communipaw
avenue bridge over the Morris Canal
This is a more notorious gang than the
other, fer it is located ON one of the main
church people most traverse to reach the
churches ON the Hill. As the seating
capacity of water pipe is not sufficient to
accommodate ali the members the officers
occupy the handrail, making a double
row to pass between. This gang is not
only of the type of growler rushers, but is
also of the order of Mrs. Miller's best"
and uses clay pipes that emit a cloud of
smoke strong enough to raise the iron
work off the bridge. This gang has no
singing society like the association above
mentioned, but its language DOESN'T need
to be sung. The police should give these
gangs their immediate attention.

FOR SAFE KEEPING.
But 1t Didn't Look That Way in the
Saloon.


Saloon.
Policeman Holderer last night saw
three men acting queerly in saloon aC
Central avenue and Zabriskie street.
One OF them was reading a letter. while
at his elbow lay pile of money in bills
and some other letters. Soon the man
who was reading arose and taking
one of the bills, said to the bar
tender. SIS this 500 bill
good?" The policeman Immediately
entered the saloon and told the men to
come with him.
When locked up in the Webster avenue
police station the one who had the money
said his name was John Martin and that
he was an Erie railroad brakeman, living
at NO IS Montrose street. The others
were Frank Meenan and Daniel Lenahan,
both of No. 13 Beach street. They were
held on suspicion of having stolen the
letters found with them, and which were
addressed to Thomas Doran, and which,
it is believed, contained the money they
had.
When they were arraiPned in Court
this morning Doran appeared and said
that last night he was drunk and Martin
had helped him TO his home and had taken
sos from him for safe keeping as ne had
often done before. Judge Kimmerly held
Martin to await further Investigations.
Lenahan was too drunk TO appear in
court.

LEHIGH VALLEY GROWTH.
1t Will Soon Have an Independent
Trunk Line From Jersey
City to Buffalo.

The reorganization last week of the sew.
eral little railroad companies owned by
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company in to
one concern was mere matter of con-
venience, and does not indicate any
change of purpose or new development
The railroad is now rapidly completing
roads which have long been planned, and
it is about to enter the field as one of the
great trunk lines, certainly rivaling the
Lackawanna and challenging competi-
tion with the New York Central With
connections west of Buffalo better as
sured, it would be no mean rival of the
great Pennsylvania system.
THEN AND NOW.
The Lehigh Valley when it began the
Improvements now under way had coal
road from Perth Amboy to Metuchen,
and its regular passenger and freight SER
vice was over the Pennsylvania to Me-
tuchen and then over its own lines to the
coal fields and thence to Geneva, N. Y.
At Waverly, N. Y, connection was made
with the Erie, and traffic to Buffalo and
the West passed over its lines. TIE Lee
high used as many miles of track Of other
companies as it did Of its own, and paid
high prices for the privilege.
The Lehigh now has it's own road all
the way to Newark. and uses the Penn
sylvania only from this city to jersey
City. The road across the meadows and
the bridge over the bay. with the connect
ing link from near Bayonne to the water
front next to the Jersey Central depot,
with the necessary ferry arrangements,
will all be ready In few months. But
this is only part of the work. The
company long ago secured good lake front
terminal in Buffalo, and it's road from
Geneva, N. Y, to Buffalo is rapidly ap-
preaching completion. The contracts
provide that the work shall be done in
May, 1892, and it is believed that by the
middle of next summer, or in the fall at
the latest, the Lehigh will have a regu-
lar double track road from the Hudson
river to Lake Erie.
FUTURE OUTLOOK.
1t has fair Western connections now,
and it is expected to improve these. With
such route the Lehigh can cater for and
obtain an independent business, and its
whole policy is likely to be more aggres-
sive and enterprislng.
The Lehigh owns half interest in the
new freight yard recently constructed on
the outskirts of Newark, and when it's
line is completed it will establish depot 8
in that vicinity for its passenger bust
ness. The effect Of this will be to intro
duce more business into that portion Of
Newark, and it is predicted that it will
materially benefit that city.

Montgomery Street Perfectly Safe.
JERSEY CITY. Aug. 81, 1891.
To the Editor of the Jersey Citv Ne,cs:-
An article appears in I'HE SUNDAY
MORNING NEWS headed Dangerous
Building" referring to the building at
No. 81 Montgomery street, and reporting
it as being unsafe. Ihave seen Mr.. H.W.
Winfield this morning. aud he tells me
that portion of the article. as reported,
was not upon his authority, although
some of your readers may consider it so.
Several years ago. when the adjoining
building was altered, @ deeper eXcava-
tion was made, and this made necessary
additional supports for the easterly wall
of this building. This is always the case
when Easements are deepene6. The
work was then done by Mr.. William
Robertson, one of the most competent
contractors in this city, and it was well
done. No complaint has ever been made
TO the building inspector Of the unsafety
of the building. l occupied offices in it
on the same floor with Mr.. Winfield for
nearly twelve years, and never had any
suspicious of the soundness of the build
ing.
the Target insurance businesses in the
city, and in connection Herewith have to
carefully inspect many buildings, occupy
the first floor. l saw them this morning,
and both members of tine firm say that
they feel entirely safe in it. They have
recently, at their own expense, put in
new show windows and made other ex-
pensive improvements. While doing
this, and in reference to the improve
ments being made, they had the building
carefully examined hy competent ex-
perts who pronounced it entirely safe.
/ trust that you will correct the injury
to the buildings reputation that may
have been caused, by publishing this
letter.

SLAUGHTEKlNG SHEEP.
Possible Chance For Collision Between
Health Boards.

Possible Chance For a Collision Between
Health Boards.
At a recent meeting Of the County Board
of Health, on motion of DIR. l.. j. Cor
don, president of the Board. permit was
refused Pidcock & Co. to slaughter sheep
at Provost and South streets. The reason
given was that the slaughter house is a
nuisance.
An application was next made by
Pidcock Il Co. to the City Board of
Health for permit, and that Board. after
inquiring carefully into the facts of the
case, could find nothing that indicated
the work to be nuisance, but did learn
that about six hundred men were EN- :
ployed in the slaughter house, and If it
was closed up these men1 would
be thrown out OF employ
ment and great industry
would be driven from the city. Conse-
quently the City Health Board gave the
necessary permit, and Pidcock & Co.
are slaughtering sheep and lambs
and the County Board of Health
has, metaphorically speaking, been told
to go to grass 1t will be interesting to
see what steps DR.. Gordon will take next
to stop this industry. The County Health
Board meets tomorrow.
