Srch is the form of the invitation is
sued by Warden AuIl to the "neck-tle
party" that is to take place to-day at
the Folsom Prison. The preparations
for the hanging have all been COM
pleted, and a few hours hence the high
binder that so cruelty murdered Lee
Gong in this city in 1892 will pay the
penalty of his crime, for Governor
Budd has refused to interfere with the
decree of the courts.
The more the tale told to &. D. NC
Cabe, the Governors Private Secretary,
by the Cinnamon who came up to see
the Governor and try to save the neck
of Chin Hane is examined into, the
less plausible it appears, on account Oh
the contradictions and inconsistencies
In it.
1t is the opinion of C. T. Jones, who
assisted in the prosecution OF the case
that the men who came up here are
substantially the same as those VINO
were continually intimidating his VII
nesses before and during the ulal.
one of them on Wednesday claimed
to have seen Lee Sam shoot Lee Gong,
who was sitting on the sidewalk and
that the latter was dragged into the
house after his death. AS a matter OF
fact. those who arrived ON the scene a
few minutes after the shooting found
that Lee Gong was shot while sitting
near a little desk in his office room ana
that the shot that killed him was fired
through a small window in the room
directly in front of the desk.

Postmaster Graham by r. D. Thomas,
q mining man who had been writing
letters TO persons residing at Michigan
Bar, Sacramento County. AS some of
the letters did not reach their destina-
ton at all, or were delayed on the route,
he suspected that they had been stop
ped at Forest Home, a small place on
the mail route from Plymouth TO Michi-
gan Bar His suspicion was strength
ened by the fact that certain informa-
ton concerning mining matters con-
tanned in the letters had become public
and the leak had been traced TO era
ham
The matter was laid before the Fed
eral Grand Jury, and a few days ago
an Indictment was found against the
Postmaster. mainly on the evidence
furnished by Mr. Irwin The latter
had caused several letters to be placed

detective was sent on the stage The
pouch was taken into Graham's office
at Forest Home and brought out again
and put on the stage.
When the pouch was opened at Michi-
gan Bar one Of the letters was missing.
Graham's motive is supposed to have
been to obtain inside information in
relation to q certain mining deal.

Special Brew.

Captain Ruhstaller is out with a
special brew Of the famous Gilt Edge
for the holiday season. The special
brew is sure to win new honors for its
maker and to add to the laurels that
have already crowned Gilt Edge king of
all steam beers. The extraordinary de-
mand for the product of Captain Rub
staller's brewery continues to increase.
This is so because of the merits of Gilt
Edge, which is an honest beer made
from malt and hops. The reputation
of this favorite beverage has extended
throughout the State, and wherever it
has come into competition the popular
verdict is in its favor. The special holt
day brew is in the nature of a treat to
the public, which has been so generous
in its appreciation of the efforts of Cap
tain Ruhstaller to give the people the
very best beer that experience and
careful personal attention can procure.
Do not fail to call for the special holt
day Gilt Edge brew.

CARE OF PUBLIC FUNDS.
The State Bank Commissioners About
TO Act.

The State Bank Commissioners ABOUT
TO Act.
A San Francisco paper yesterday con-
tanned a statement that the State Bank
Commissioners are about to issue an
order directing the managers of banks
to refuse to accept State, county or city
money except as special deposits. This
new rule will keep county and city
money intact wherever deposited, ana
when withdrawn the identical coin will
be returned to the city and county Off
Ger calling for it.
It has been the custom of all banks to
use public money so deposited with
them, or at least consider it a part OF
the cash on hand, counted as part of the
deposits of the institution, and, in fact,
to use it the same as money deposited
by individuals. The result has been
that the people were often losers by the
failure of a bank. and this order Of the
Commissioners viii prove safeguard
against such loss.
According to the last report of the
Bank Commissioners the amount of
uublic money which was at that time
on deposit with the various banks of
the State was 50, 7S6, 127, and according
to this same report a large portion Of
this amount could not have been paid
en- demand. Though those banks We're
perfectly solvent and had passed mus
ter befor the State Commission, their
funds We're so located that had demands
been made on some of them for the
amount of public coin in their keeping
il would not have been forthcoming.
The cash deposited in some of the
banks was in the hands of correspond
EMS in other cities. Other banks had
and have it tied up in real estate which
could not advantag eously be turned
into money if the demand were made on
the instant. The new rule viii compel
all banks to keep whatever public
money is deposited with them on special
deposit without using the coin in any
way except to pass it over the counter
when the proper officer calls for it.
