on The MOUNTAIN.

4 storm fsOm the mountain n COMING
with lightning and thunder and rainS
The wind is sweeping and humming
In the butternut trees ON the plain.
The cloud IL ebon that follows
The fore cloud il livid and pale.
There's the fash and the tossing OF swallow
In the turn Of the eddying gale.
And the rain Is awake on the mountain:
IT'S lsshing the forest afar
With fall Of q shattering fountain
And the tramp and the tumult Of waf;
with the drums Of the detoning thunder,
And the clang In the bugles Of vino.
With the gonfalons tortured asundef
BY the rush Of the host from behind.
The plains are leaping with shadows,
The highlands go out like blot.
And over the eddying meadows
The rain Ii hurtled like shot.
The darkness is glooming and Frightening.
There Is alternate chaos and form,
with the parry and thrust Of the lightning
In the turbulent heart Of the storm.
Now the storm Is over.
And the greener plain
Seems to glow and hover
Through the thinning rain.
Now the wind Is gusty
In the maple tops,
Striking out the lusty
Storms Of clearing drops.
Now the goldfinch whistles
In his spattered vest.
Balanced on the thistles,

And the hermit thrushes,
On tie sparkling hills,
Link the dripping bushes
With their silver thrills.

All Doubt Removed.

Any doubt that may have hitherto
existed as to the veracity of the Biblical
account Of the passage of the Jews dry
shod across the Red sea have been set at
rest by the report of Major General Tul-
loch, published in London, describing
an incident which took, place during his
recent survey for the British government
of that part of Egypt through which the
route Of the exodus iseaid to have lain.
1t seems that on one occasion last spring
there sprung up storm OF wind SO in
tense in it's violence as not only to stop
all survey work along the borders of
Lake Menzahleh, but to carry within
the space of few hours the entire wa
tiers, the lake out of sight beyond the
horizon, leaving all the sailing vessels
resting on the sandy bed Of the inland
sea. This is manifestly what occurred in
the days Of Moses, and what has hither-
to been in the eyes Of the skeptical open

The Cireular Saw.


A correspondent states that the circu-

by combmakef named Hartshorn, who
used common handsaw to saw out the
horn between the teeth, thus forming
one Of those old fashioned horn combs.
Finally, thinking it rather slow

ter, then squared the hole and cut the
teeth around its outer edge, placed it
upon a mandrel true and permanent,
then put it into his lathe, and with the
fat horn lying npon wooden rest he
sawed out his combs.
From the copper he shortly cut up

and died in Mansfield, Conn. He also

Everything progressed smoothly during
the reading of the lease until that part of
it was reached which relates to the utiliz-

ness.

Hard times and the law prohibiting the
retailing of liquor in resorts where women
are employed have combined to close up
many of the disreputable places along the
Barbary Coast, which for years have borne
the reputation of being the worst quarter
of San Francisco. The places closed are
principally known and designated under
the name of ''dance halls" Some of them
made pretensions to theatrical perform
ances, and under new management will
try to resume business under the theatrical
license law, but majority of the halls
that have been shut down will not be re-
opened. The Colosseum" corner OF

Martin was shot to death, closed its doors

of like character that have given way be-

few months are as follows:

Five Thousand Spectators Witness TIN
Drill of the Companies.

Drill of the Companies.
Five thousand people assembled at the
Mechanics Pavilion last night to witness
the competitive drill of the ten uniformed
companies OF the League of the Cross
Cadets.
The fashion, refinement and wealth of
the Catholic church, of which the youthful
militiamen are members, was conspicuous
in the great gathering. There were men
and boys in military uniform, members of
the Boys Brigade, dignitaries of the
church in broadcloth, beautiful women
handsomely gowned and a whole army of
pretty girls and handsome boys all eager
to see the young aspirants for military
honors win their spurs in competitive con-
test.
When the regiment marched out on the
floor and passed the grand stand, where
the Most Rev. Archbishop Riordan sat,
with Very Rev. Father Prendergast on his
right and Rev. Father Crowley on his left,
and a score of priests in the immediate
vicinity, there was a loud and prolonged
outburst of applause, which continued at
intervals, especially when any fine move
ments were executed, during the evening.
The Montgomery medal was won by
Company G of st. Patrick's parish, and
the medal for individual drill was won by
Eddie Brandon of the same company.

FOR SILVER AND GOLD.

Two Prominent Eastern Democrats Ad-
dressed the Iroquois Last Night.
The braves of the Iroquois Club met in
force at Pythian Castle on Market street
last night and listened with marked atten-
ton to speeches on the subject of free
coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to /. As
a bssis for argument the club had before
itself resolution bearing on the subject.
The principal speakers were: Congress
man ]. c. Sibley of Pennsylvania and
General Warner of Ohio.
/, Mr.. Sibley made a clear illustration of
the benefits that would come to the indus
tries and commerce of this country from
free silver coinage. He showed how
safe expansion of the currency by
the reconciliation of the white metal
would at once put new life into the flag
ging industries and raise the now de-
pressed values to scale that would at once
equalize the benefits of labor's products.
He made delicate reference to the usurpa-
ton of power under the borrowed cloak OF
Democracy by Grover Cleveland, and i'm
plored his hearers to repudiate the tenets
of all such false prophets.
General Warner, in speaking on the
same subject, said:

ARE STILL IN A SNARL
No Funds for the Assessment
Under the New Revenue
Law.
the State Board of Equali-
cation.

That other phase of the financial ques-
ton which is disturbing the City was under
consideration by the Finance Committee
of the Board of Supervisors yesterday-the
question of the changes in the revenue
law, the repeal of the old and the applica-
ton of the new.
Deputy Assessor Herzer was called up to
the committee room to say what his office
was doing in the matter, and he reported
that the books were being written uponthe
old lines.
City and County Attorney Creswen was
present and asked what he thought about
it. He said the new law was in force and
the assessment should be made under it.
The fact that the Assessor was required bv
this law to have the blanks for the assess
ment of personal property in his possession
by the LIST of March and to begin the assess
ment at that time, while the law itself did
not go into effect until March %, was
material feature, being advisory rather
than mandatory.
'We will go ahead and make the assess
ment under the new law, said Mr.. Herzer.
lust as soon as the Supervisors furnish
US with the books. We need about $50
books.
'The law provides that if the County has
no money to buy the books the State Board
will have to do it. We will have to take
advantage of that.
"But after we have the books it will be
necessary to employ about 200 deputies to
go into the field to take the assessment.
Can you furnish the means to do that2"
Then long, ram bling discussion of this
dlifilculty followed, and Herzer suggested
with the hope that it might lead the way
out--that Mr.. hesebrough of the State
board had said to him that he did not
think the new law was intended to take
effect this year.
That simply shows disposition on the
part OF the State board to crawl out of
hole that this law, which was recon-
mended by the State board, has got us.
into. The English language cannot mean
anything if the new law is not now in
force: The old law has been repealed,
clearly and distinctly, and the new law
as clearly and distinctly says that it is to
take effect Immediately upon its passage.
If the Assessor does not work under the
new law then the assessment will be illegal

meet at the Lick House in this City Mon
day morning, and it was decided that the
Finance Committee, with Mr.. Herzer and
City and County Attorney Cresweli should
meet with them and endeavor to discover
some way out of the difficulty.
Herzer insists that the collection. OF
taxes under the new law, which requires
the collection of last years levy, will leave
the treasury entirely empty for the four
months of July, August, September and
October.
The committee decided upon Hobbs
motion to recommend the appointment of
Captain M. Ault to the position of Fish and
Game Warden, his salary to begin with
July in the new fiscal year.

that plans be prepared for an eight-class

HIS HONOR PERPLEXED.
Attorneys Have a Spirited Bout
in Judge Daingerfield'S
Court.
Marshal Baldwin, Collector Welburn
and Bert Thomas Cited for
Contempt of Court.

Times were lively in Judge Danger
fields department of the Superior Court
yesterday when Bert Thomas, Barry Bald
win and 0. NJ. Welburn were cited to APP
pear and show cause why they should not
be punished for contempt of court
The defendants had forcibly seized prop
erty belonging to Mrs. Rothenthal in
cigar-store at 604 Market street which had
been placed in the hands of Edward Riley
to be sold by auction to liquidate the
claims of certain of her creditors. Riley
was appointed by due process of law, and
the action of Thomas, Baldwin and We'll
burn in forcibly OBTAINING these goods
constituted contempt of the State court.
1t was upon these grounds that Samuel
Knight, United States District ATTORNEY,
contended that the proper place for the
hearing would be before the United States
Circuit Court, while the plaintiffs counsel,
Matt Sullivan, was positive in his opinion
that the court where the contempt had
been com mitted was the proper place for
the defendants to be crushed in purse,
mind and body.
At this point both of the attorneys began
to cite authorities upon the subject in
clarion tones, but Judge Dainger6eld,
adverse to having all of the arguing done
Dy tne counsel, joined IN nlmseI1, raising
his voice to the extent that his words alone
could be distinguished above the babble
and confusion.
Order being finally restored Mr.. Knight
casually remarked that he should know
more about such subjects than Mr.. Sulli-
van, as he had had more experience in
that line than the learned counsel of the
other side.
Mr.. Sullivan Immediately answered that
young men were constantly trying to show
their knowledge.
Mr.. Knight forthwith retaliated, saying
that old men were constantly succeeding
in showing their ignorance.
This brought the Judge to decide that
the best way to dispose of the case would
be to have the opposing counsel cite au-
thorities and read them over at his leisure,
as he was unfortunately not gifted with
brain capable of thoroughly digesting two
arguments which were delivered at the
same time and upon the same subject.
