THE COURT.
A Charge of Illegal Banking the
Ground of His Detention He Re-
ceived Money for Topolobai 20
Colonists Payable in Mexico.

There was lively sensation at the
court house today when IL became
known that John W. lireidenthal,
chairman of the Peoples Party State
Central Committee, had been arrested
On u charge Of doing banking In viola
tion Of the State banking law. The
law is very strict one and provides
that no banking institution shall be
conducted in the State unless by the
authority of the State Bank Commis-
sioner and under such regulations as
are prescribed in the act, such ~
publishing reports quarterly, submitting
to bank examinations, etc.
Bank Commissioner johnson was In
the county u few days ago and II is
supposed he was looking up this matter.
Mr.. Breidenthal, before moving To his
present location, Enterprise, was q
banker at Chetopa. lie WAS success
full business man and is wealthy. lie
is largely interested in the Sinaloa colo
ny and is secretary of the company
having that enterprise In charge.
In connection with this there has
arisen an opportunity to ussist colonsto
in sending money or placing 1t with the
company for safety. The Co Operator,
the organ of the company published NJ
Enterprise, contains an advertisement
that Mr.. Breidenthal will receive
money for the purpose Of transmitting
to Topolobampo and payable there on
presentation of certificate, free OF
charge.
The information charges Mr.. Brei.
denthal with "unlawfully conducting a
banking business" Mt Enterprise, Kas.,
and sets forth that the Kansas. .SinalOu
Investment Co., of which he Is secre-
tary, is corporation doing business
, under the laws of the State of Kansas
that no report has ever been made to
/ the Bank Commissioner and that II IL
thus violating the statutes.

Doings at the Grove-street.

This theater is being greatly improved.
The managers have discovered that the

expansive. is entirely too small to accom-
modate the increasing patronage. The gal

achieving.

The wreck OF the Joseph S. Spinney has

possible Of her valuable cargo. which was
worth upward of S2oc, 200. The cargo con-
sists Of general merchandise. including
twenty one barrels Of whisky, large
amount Of railroad iron and a general stock
OF other goods. In the recent sale only the
rigging and boats were disposed of, these
bringing S410. The cargo still belongs TO
the underwriters, who have contracted
with the wreckers on salvage basis for all
that is recovered.

cargo, owing TO the position which the
wreck occupies, which is on a rocky shore
about six miles south of Fort Ross. The

In "a Railway Carriage.

Sir Arthur Sullivan, the composer says
the London Star, was recently asked where
be was able to compose best and under
what circumstances his ideas flowed most
freely. He replied that there was no place
in which be had so many Inspirations as in
a railroad carriage. There is something in
the rapidity Of the motion, in the changing
of the iron, and in the whirring of the
wheels which seems to eXeites his imagina-
ton and supplies material for host of har-
monies. Under very different circum-
stances, however, was "The Lost Chord

he was 10 tile room next to that in which

not paid much better than music-teachers

nately well-qualifed teachers are frequently
glad to take guinea for dozen weekly

The CALL was not much out Of the way
In saying when Margaret Mather cOm-
menced her recently closed engagement at
the Bush-street Theater that the gilt had
wore off her theatrical gingerbread" This
abrasion from her little cake has been
going on for some time-in fact ever since
j. Nj. Hill parted from her. She needs the
managerial services Of such man, who,
by his activity shre WdnesS and liberality,
made her before the public in the first
- place and gave her the temporary renown
she acquired. Now il appears Miss Mather
has fallen on evil days. Such was es-
pecialy the case in this city, where
everything combined against her. She
chose an undesirable theater to begin
with. then came the detection Of her leading
man. then the election distraction, and
last her weeks sickness from nervous
prostrstion which practically cut her fort
nights engagement in two. Miss Mather
must have lost by this unfortunate c0mbi-
nation of circumstances enough money 10
put her in as disaCreeable frame of mind as
that from which Miss Lillian Russell suf-
fered when she sent back the lately carefully
prepared interview, like a Parthan arrow,
to the people Of San Francisco. and in which
we entirely believe her only share was the
venom infused.
The losses of Miss Mather and the bad
feeling OF Miss RUSSELL lead enc to speak OF
that other very nice interview that Mr.. Hay
man hastened to get on bis late arrival from
Europe for the purpose of "curing the mis-
. taken idea Of the theatrical business in San
Francisco and on the coast" and which has
just been sent on from New York. lie
states that the business Of the Baldwin and
the New California has been "phenomenaP'
Ia managers pet wordl, and that during the
past thirty-two weeks these houses have had
gross receipts Of S4I2O00! Managers state
mentS have become proverbial for lacking
the element of truth. Ii is well Mr.. Hay
man covers SO long period of time. Look
ing at the auditorium of the Bald
win during IFS last three engage
ments. that theater could hardly have
contributed a large share 10 this
aggregate unless there is some other income
besides that through the boX-ofiee win
dow The desertion from its seats was
generally remarked 1t might be suggested
that after the interviewer got through with
Mr. Hayman il would have been well il he
had communicated With Mr.. French of the
Russell Opera Company. Mr.. Ben Teal OF
the ''Niobe" party and MI J. c. Duff of the
opera organization. The Hayman Interview
would probably have been thus averaged in
