One of the workmen on the big drainage

brought to the contractor the other day a
curious little fragment of stone, which had
been turned up in the digging. 1t turned
out to be a bit of brown quartz and black
oxide of manganese, fecked with pieces Of
pure gold as large as a pins head. 1t was

When the Mckinley tariff bill was
adopted in 1890 and all grades Of sugar
not above No. is Dutch standard was
put on the free list, the price of sugar i'm
mediately dropped and for the last three
years families have obtained sugar at
two-thirds the former price. The total
saving ON sugar alone was between $2O,-

ALEX DQcTER HELD FOR TRIAL,
History of the Gay Young
Drummer's Crime.
He Started in by Appropriating
Small Sums.
rhs Empexxlsmsnt of $4,000 From Nose
Gunst-Miks Polaski Failed TO
Appear rs a Witness.

Alex Doctor, the genteel little tobac'
conist who. with $500 Of Nose Gunst's
money fed to gay Paris. appeared
bright and smiling in Justice Seamsn's .
court yesterday for preliminary exam
ination.
On the 2Sth OF last May Doctor COL
ler,ed the sum of money mentioned from
Mike Polaski, the Spring street cigar
dealer. in payment for goods purchased
OF Gunst through himself. The young
drum mer had been doing business for
Gunst for long time. and Polaski had
no hesitancy in paying the money to
him.
1t was paid, however, by cheek. Doc
ter cashed the check at the Farmers and
Merchants bank. The next day he was
in ARIZONA on his way to Europe.
He spent his ill-gotten gains in lead
ing a gay life in the French capital.
and in London. finally ret urning mon
eyless to New York. He was arr rssted
there on description sent out by
Chief Glass, and was brought back
here by Detective Bosqui.
Whsn the Case was called by Justice
Seamans, the witness. Polaski, did not
puc in an appearance, and an officer
could not find him. Nose Gunst had
given his testimony several months
ago.
A. 0. Elliott, teller of ths bank at
which Docter cashed the check. was
the first witness called. He gave
briefly the fscts surrounding the pay
ment OF the money, saying the check
was made payable to bearer and he
had no hesitancy in honoring it.
An important point OF Detective Bos-
qui's testimony was whore he said that
Docter had confessed to him that he had
taken money from Gunst on at least two
or three former occasions. His first in
discretion was the lending to friend OF
$lOO out of $500 colecsion made in the
north. Docter then spent the $500, ex-
pectlng to maks,jt up at the end OF the
month. Tne end of the month came
round and Doctor was unable to meet
the obligation. He allowed the matter
to run along until be got chance TO
make the $500 collection from Mike
Polask.
Doctor was then put upon the stand.
He denied that he told Bosqui that he
had taken the money. and went over the
whole aiory.
AT the commencement of the examis
nation, which wss long drawn out and
wesrisome, Dacter's attorney, M.
Wright of Pasadena. moved for dis
aissal. Justice Seaman said he was OF
inc opinion that enough evidence had
been adGucsd to warrant trial before the
su uperior court, and 30 ordered.
It is understood that the amount of
Doctors EN- bezzlement has been made
good. On this account the defendant
did not expect such strong prosecu-
ton, but i. is said tine district attorney

MUSIC.

Ths rain that came so suddenly last
evening prevented very many people
from hearing one of the best concerts OF
the season at the Blanchard. Fitzgerald
hall.
The Misses Fuller and Mr.. Blair have
seldom been heard here to better advsn-
tsge than in the Beethoven trio last
{ night. and indeed the whole program
was most interesting and enjoyable
| musically and artieticslly.
Mise Fuller and Mr.. Blair PLAYED
Rubinstein's sonata, op. Is for piano
and violincello, for their opening num-
Der, and although it is one of his earlier
compositions. it has all his character
istic resource in elaboration OF theme
and vivid coloring. Mr.. Blair's cello
showed in it rich sweetness OF tone,
and his handling was careful yet music-
ianly in all three OF the movements, and
in the first, his rolling accompaniment,
when the piano took up the theme, was
extremely we'll done in the second, the
simple, quiet motif, followed by
restlessnees in both piano and cello !;
and in the third. which is more brilliant
and rollicking. ending IN digniied har-
monies, the work of both Mr.. Blair and
Miss Fuller was that of very superior
artists.
Miss Jessie Padgham sang two num-
bers. Lady of Light by 9artaldon and
Since First Met Thee 10y Rubinstein.
Her voice was at its beet, and in each
song it was sweet, full and carefully
modulated. Miss Padgham sings with
much expression, and is improving con-
stantly. Miss Helen Fuller's thrss
numbers were admirably chosen and
as we'll rendered. The Hsbauers
by Sauret is essentially Spanish; the
melody by Padere wski-Sauset is de-
lightfully quiet and sweet, and Schu-
