The Tuesday Evening club gave its
farewell dance for the present season at
Kramer's hall, last Monday night.
There was an excellent attendance,
every member of the club turning out to
enjoy the final hop. The usual number
of pretty young ladies graced the event,
which was most successful in all res
poets. During an intermission small
tables were arranged about the hall at
which the company we're served with
dainty refreshments by corps of dar-
ky walters. Dancing was then resumed
and continued until after midnight.
Lowinsky's orchestra was in attendance
and rendered it's accustomed delightful
music.

Ing from Fresno.

Ing from Fresno.
FRESNO. CAL, June 21.-Investiga-
tions have been going on ior some time
into the accounts and business methods
of ]. W. Conger. deputy collector of in
ternal revenue, by Revenue Agents Nc
Lachlin and Thomas. As the result, or
ders have been issued for the arrest of
Conger. The officers took possession of
everything connected with the deputy
collectors Office in Fresno, and for
warded all the records and papers found
to Collector Quinn at San Francisco.
The exact nature of the charges against
Conger is not known, but it ia stated
that the moneys collected and the re-
ports sent in do not correspond, and
that the business of the office has been
carelessy conducted. Conger's family
went to Pasadena some time ago, and
last Friday he stated he had received
word that his child was sick, and that
he was going to Pasadena. 1t ia
learned that he has not been
to Pasadena. Whether he has
left the country to escape imprisonment
or is somewhere in the mountainous
parts of his district attending to his du-
ties, are matters of conjecture.
Oonger was man commanding the
confidence and respect of all who knew
him. United States Marshal Gard was
here today and stated that one charge
against Conger was selling cancelled
stamps. Gard was of the opinion that
Conger had gone to Mexico or Texas.

In view of the fact that one United

would not be averse to donning Senator
Stanford's mantle. Amongst these the
names Of Judge w. f. Fitzgerald, who
for some years has been resident OF
San Francisco, frequently crops out.
His relations with the Governor and
standing with his party are OF the best.
His selection would please Republicans
in all parts of the state. The name OF
Ex-Governor OF Utah, Eli H. Murray, at
present resident OF San Diego, lie also
mentioned in connection with the va

In VIEW of the fact that the state Of
California has created board OF bank
examiners, why would it not be good
idea to select these gentlemen from
their we'll known ability as accountants,
leaving politics altogether ont OF the
question? This is pre-eminently a posi-
tion in which special fitness for the
function, and not political services,
should count. Having undertaken to
supervise the banking system OF the
people, and having provided machinery
against fraud, thus insuring honesty
and accountability on the part OF the
banks. the state should next follow by
endorsing their solyency. Under such
circumstances a run" with all its dis
astrous Accomplishments, would be i'm
possible. The depositor would know
that great state stood between him
and the possibility OF loss, and perfect
confidence wonld replace our present in

THE AMERICAN DERBY.
Preparatfons Going on for the Gre
Race. 8afurdav

Preparations Going on for the Great
Race, Saturday.
CHICAGO, June 21.-At last the entire
eastern American Derby contingent is
here preparing for the great event Sat-
urday. From the variety of work shown
the riddle as to which will win, becomes
more difficult. The Derby is as
likely to fall to an outsider
as to favorite. Good judges think il
the race goes to an outsider johnson
has the best chance. Chorister and St,
Leonard impress their owners as being
fitted to out-stay and out-tire any other
Derby candidates, especially if the track
be heavy. Lookout has many friends,
but Clifford is decidedly the favorite
among the trainers.

THE news from the east is of a rs-as-
suring character. The panic there
seems to have reached the eliminating
point, and matters are steadily on the
mend. The tide has turned, and it is
believed in well-informed circles per-
manently, in gold shipments. Barring.
Magoun & Co. OF Boston, have ordered
$5O0,000 in gold shipped from London to
the United States. The gold balance in
the treasury has risen to upwards Of
$94, 900, 900 and is increasing daily. The
feeling in Wall street has very much inn
proved, and call loans have fallen from
20 to A per cent. The worst is un-
doubtedly over there, such being the
universal consensus of opinion in Wash
ington and New York.

ELSEWHERE we publish statement
signed by the Messrs. j. w. Cook, chair
man of the board of supervisors, f. f.
Dopez, county auditor, and FL. @. Dillon,
district attorney, in which they say
they have counted the county moneys in
the several banks of Los Angeles and
find the amount intact. The total foot
ing up, 1852, s52.21, is perfectly secnre
and has been held as special deposits.
This is pleasing and resssuring fact,
and will greatly tend to the restoration
of public confidence and to the abate-
ment of the absurd and baseless scare
that has characterized the opening days
OF the week in financial circles.

TIE presence OF Mr.. I. w. Hellman
at the Farmers and Merchants bank
yesterday was welcomed by those who
have had occasion for years to know his
sagacious intuitions in finance. Our
reporter succeeded in getting brief
conversation with him, which appears
in our local review of the situation. AS
opposed to unfounded rumors of a run
on number OF banks in San Francisco,
and the closing Of several of them, we
present his statement, which is authori-
tative. that the banks OF that city are in
an excellent condition. The auid nuncs
in Los Angeles yesterday had runs upon
both the Pacific and the Anglo. .Califor-
mia bank, and wound up by closing
them both. Nothing seems to delight
some people 80 much as sensational lie.

the meeting today: ''The new company
will control great deal of the freight

Red Star and Inman line will be imme-

For the information of the public:
We do hereby certify that we have

AS to the City bank we find the
amount due the county from that bank
to be $27,7l0. This amount is secured
by the bond of the county treasurer,
and also by counter security taken by
him from the bank.
The amount of money which should
be in the University bank is $2S, ,9lo,
secured in the same'manner as the funds
deposited in the City bank. We believe
that all the securities above named are
ample to protect the county from any
loss. J. W. Cook,

a successful opening yesterday. The run
was made uptown. from the depot at
sixty-fifth street. to One Hundred and
Twenty ninth street. and downtown as
far as Cooper Union. where the passen-
gers were transferred to the horse cars
There was some delay and confusion at
the Sixth street switch. But that was TO
be expected and the running OF the lin
tied number OF cars, was. on the whole,
quite successful.
or course the convenience and comfort
Of the cable cars were at once apparent.
and were fully appreciated by the pas
sengers. When the hne Is open through
out the entire route, and the horse cars
are dispensed with, the full benefit OF
the change will be felt. But the expert
ment Of running on the Bowery remains
to be tried. although the managers Of the
road express confidence In Its success.
The cable system has evidently come
to stay. and as the Broadway line proves
Is destined to be n great relief to crowd
ed thoroughfares as well as n comfort
and convenience to passengers.
