If YOU would hear some of these bank
bloviators and shoddy contractors talk,
and then believe all you hear, there are
no Democrats who are responsible citi-
zens, or in anywise identified with the
material development of the state. AS
a refutation of that, one of the River
side papers publishes list of the tax
payers in that city who pay an amount
exceeding $4,000. 1t shows that E. J..
Davis is the largest individual taxpayer
in that city, His assessment is $63, 1855.

THE HEY DAY OF FAN TAN
PLACES WELL ADAPTED FOR
TRICKS THAT ARE DARK.
Heathen Games and Lotteries which
De Fine Business-The China
men Preparing to Increase
Their Business.

Gambling in Chinatown is right now
at the top notch. Tan games in opera
tion are always as numerous as are the
proverbial fieas on dogs back. In fact
80 easy has it become to conduct tan
game in Chinatown without rude and
ungentlemanly interruption at the
hands of the local police, that prepara-
tions are being made by the heather to
open up games on a much larger and
grander scale than has ever before been
contemplated.
Lottery games are running to the
number OF some twenty five, with four
drawings daily. Certainly this does
look very much as though it was the
heyday for the Chinese gambler.
In the days gone by Chinatown gamb-
ling games have been known to pay
through the police department into the
municipal treasury something like So, 500
per month or $4,000 per year. Now
not single solitary dollar finds its way
to the hands of the proper custodian Of
| the city's money.
Down in new Chinatown, east of Ala
media street, the fan tan gamblers hold
forth in large numbers. Not for long
time had the police disturbed them
until Sunday afternoon. A number of
the Cinnamon got so bold that they
! opened up game right in one of the
best known restaurants in town, at the
corner of Alameda street and Marches
sault alley. This was aslittle indiscreet
it seems and the gamblers were ar
rested to the number of five. The rest
eluded the grasp of the willy policeman.
The policemen on the Chinatown
beats admit that fan tan is played, and
will point out to you the places where
games are being run. But the raids are
few and far between.
| At the corner of Marchessault and
I Alameda streets the Chinese are making
come extensive improvements with a
view to putting in fan tan games. Old
partitions are being torn out of store
rooms and new ones put in to facilitate
matters and avoid intrusion upon the
| gamesters while at play.

THAT Arizona young man who started

That Arizona young man who started
in to lick the parHon, last Saturday
morning, near Phoenix, now wishes that
he had let the job out to some contrac-
tor. The holy man got a buggy-whip
and applied it so assiduously to the re-
gion below the young mans coat tails
that the callow youth has slept on his
face ever since. Strange that the young
man had never heard of the church

that he was twice elected to congress

At 10 40 last evening an alarm of fire
was telephoned in from 254 South
Broadway. 1t proved to be in Douglass g
candy store. The department re-
sponded promptly, but had little work
to do. A portion of the counter was in
a blaze. The flames were extinguished
with only about $40 damages. It is be-
lieved that rats nibbled at some matches
which were under the counter, and thus
caused the flames.

BEFORE leaving Washington for his
hot weather vacation in the Adiron-
dacks, President Harrison gave orders
for commissions to be made out for the
following named gentlemen to serve as
delegates to the international monetary
conference at Berlin: Senator John P.
Jones, of Nevada; Senator James Car
Isle, of Kentucky; Messrs. H. W. Can
non, OF New York., F. A. Walker, of
Massachusetts,; and ex-senator Hill, of
Colorado. John Percival, the rosy and
genial discoverer of Santa Monica, is the
acknowledged leader of the silver men,
while Mr.. Cannon is the big gun of the
Wall street gold bugs. This shows you
what a consummate political trickster
Harrison is. He is gold bug as much
as Cannon is, but he gives the silver
men the majority Of this commission
just to pull back the silver Republicans
who contemplate going over to Weaver.

THERE is already symptom of
trouble discernible in the results of the
English elections, for it is evident that
while men were chosen who were favor

favorable to his pet proposition OF home

against Ireland (of which one catches

Bankruptcy Case.
Judge Morrow made decree yesterday
In the suit of John Lloyd. assignee of Lin
forth, Kellogg g. Co., against the estate Of
John and Mary Bensley, for access to GER
tain letters by which he hopes to prove
conspiracy to defraud him had been entered
into bv Bensley and his wife.
In 1887 the firm OF Linfortb, Kellogg & Co.
failed for nearly $4,000 The partners
were John Linforth, John Bensiey and l..
u. Benchley. Before failing, however.
Bensley, seeing the unstable state of affairs,
transferred large part of his property to
bis wife's name without consideration.
After the failure James G. Patrick and A.
J.. Tubbs were appointed assignees, and
they made an agreement releasing $500. COO
worth Of Bensley's personal property from
liability on condition that after certain of
the firms debts had been lquidated he
should pay certain percentage OF the re-
mainder.
Under this arrangement AN per cent of
the indebtedness was paid off, leaving the
firm still S275, 900 In arrears. But when the
assignee looked to Bensley he found he had
transferred his property to his wife, and
that 1t could not be reached. Soon after he
died intestate without property, and six
months later his wife died inteState.
On the part Of the assignees matters came
to standstil through Patrick's death and
Tnbbs' resignation. when Lloyd was ap-
pointed. Mr.. Lloyd heard certain letters
were extant which he claims show that a
conspiracy existed to defraud, and he
brought suit to get possession Of those let
tiers. Judge Morrow decided YESTERDAY he
has right to them and decreed accordingly.

Litigated Insurance Money of j. IL.
Smith in the Workmen.
A rather mixed up case was that Of L. s.
Adams vs.. the Grand Lodge, A. o. U. W..
which Judge Hunt took under a1viSement
yesterday. The case involves 5000 on the
beneficiary certificate of Joshua III. Smith
of Sacramento. who died on May 20, 1891.
Smith, it appears, was indebted to the
firm Of Adams & McNeill of Sacramento
when he became member of the order, so
made out his certificate to John McNeill as
beneficiary, and the latter held it in trust for
the benefit OF the firm TO secure the indebt-
edness and the firm paid all the dues. The
firm dissolved with the retirement of Nc
Neil. and the latter died on October 2s
1889, which was some years before the death

that although the firm held Smiths note
and certificate, yet the debtor never received
any credit on the books for the transaction,

Judge Coffey Makes Reply to Two Gem
tlemen of Verona.


tlemen of Verona.
Judge Coffey, it appears, has received any
number of letters and even cablegram of
inquiry relating TO the succession of one Gu
gliemo Martini of Italian or Slovenian orr
gin, whereby it appears that statement
has been published in various European
newspapers TO the effect that a person of
that name had died in San Francisco re-
Gently. leaving an estate amounting 10 Sl70,-
100000, and suggesting that the writers of
the letters were entitled TO share therein as
heirs.
The very latest of these inquiries came
from two gentlemen of Verona. named Mar
TIM, and the Judge has made courteous
reply 10 them, both in English and Italian,
as follows:
The records Of this court have been examined
10 ascertain II any person of that name has died
leaving succession OF any value whatever. No
sueD name appears on The index OF SUGGESTIONS
aud II Is lot probable that any person Of that
name resident here has died, whether possessed
or fortune or not II Is further impossible that
any one possessed OF great au amount of
wealth, whether Of the name OF Martini or not,
could have passed away IN san Francisco. or
California, or elsewhere In the United States
without the fact becoming notorious.

and in increasing the aggregate rainfall of
the valleys. At this height the land is prac-
tically of no value for farming purposes,
and higher up very few trees grow. If the
