TAINTED MEAT SEIZED.
Market Inspector Davis Makes Big
Haul in Chinatown.

Market Inspector Davis Makes Big
Haul in Chinatown.
Market Inspector Ben Davis made big
seizure of tainted meat in Chinatown yes
terday, and as a consequence warrants
will be sworn out for the offending Chinese
butchers to-day.
In his rounds Davis visited the .estab-
lishment OF Duck Hing at 746 Washington
street and was rewarded by finding 300
pounds of veal which had reached condl-
ton that made it entirely unfit for human
consumption.
Davis saturated the meat with coal oil
so that the Chinese could not possibly use
it again. He was afraid they might follow
the wagon with the meat and regain pos
session of it.
The Inspector and his deputy then went
to the shop OF Lee Sung, 1917 Fish alley.
and seized twenty-five pounds OF diseased
meat, which they threw into the street
and saturated with coal oil. By this time
an immense crowd, chiefly Chinese, had
gathered, and the Chinatown squad think
ing there was riot rushed to the scene
and kept the crowd moving.
Inspector Davis will swear out warrants
this morning for the arrest of Tuck Hing
and Lee Hing, and it is likely they will be
severely dealt with, as it is not long since
they were convicted and fined for the same

CARROLL COOKS DANGER.
Judge Wallace Will Have Him
Up on Next Friday
Morning.
TOO MANY QUESTIONS ASKED.
His Honor Objected to Too Long an
Examination and Trouble
Followed.

The case of Frank Ray, charged with
robbery, was the cause of a sensation
before Judge Wallace yesterday, and as a
result Carroll Cook is bending low under
the weight of contempt charge, for which
he will be sentenced Friday.
The case was progressing slowly, with
the defendant on the stand, when the
court warned Cook that he would not
allow the questions Cook was asking. The
case was taking too long, the court SAID.
and it did not see the object OF the line OF
evidence Cook was pursuing. Finally ore
question was stopped by Judge Wallace.
81 will not allow that" he said. Il
don't see the object of that question ex-
cept to waste time
Cook was on his feet at once.
II object to the language of the court"
he said. 81 take exception to such re-
marks made in the presence of the jury.
you are in contempt, SIR" said his
Honor. "You are guilty OF contempt OF
this court and order you to appear here
at II o'clock.
Cook tried to make some explanation,
but Judge Wallace would listen to none,
and so the case of Ray proceeded quietly
until u o'clock, when the jury was let go
and the contempt case came up.
Immediately upon the retirement OF the
jury Judge Wallace proceeded to read the
adjudication of Cooks contempt. Once
more Cook tried to explain, but no expla-
nation was allowed. He asked that an
order to show cause be issued upon which
he might be cited, but this, too, was de-
MED, and only an order to appear for SEN
tence Friday was allowed in the proceed
ings.
Being in contempt it was not supposed
that Cook had the legal capacity to con-
duct Rays defense in the afternoon, but
he rose from his chair at the opening of
court in the afternoon and asked the
courts permission to proceed. This was
granted and the case went on.
Ray was accused of robbing Nicholas
Orth OF So. Orth owed him that amount.
and as the debt was not paid Ray hunted
for Orth and having stood him up with a
revolver, relieved him of the amount due.
He was arrested on a charge of robbery,
and after days trial the jury failed to
agree and was discharged.

gold, little over $25 900, 600 in silver dol
lars, about $4,000, 600 in currency and the
balance in fractional and un-current coin.
The reserve in the NJ int is known as the
bullion fund, and consists of: Gold coin
S2,473, S95; silver coin, S36 S51, 742 II; gold
bullion, 81, 225 ,043 81, and silver bullion,
50, 1872 637 IA.
Putting together the available treasure
coin and bullion of both the Commercial
street and Fifth-street institutions, there
is a total OF $93, 1873. 451 %. which the Gov
eminent might possibly utilize in case OF
grave emergency. The $12,000000 in the
Commercial-street vaults, however, is at
present included in the gold reserve.
Oh course, no notice has yet been re-
ceived by Campbell B. Berry, the Assist
ant United States Treasurer here, regard
ing the 800 900, coo bond issue, as there
has not been time enough yet, but he OBJ
served yesterday that he did not doubt the
truth OF the Washington kilograms. He
added in explanation
I should not be surprised to receive an order
at any time authorizing me TO accept bids for
the BONDS in conformity with the plan adopted
by the Secretary OF the Treasury for their sale.
1t seems TO me that there should be little
trouble OF disposing OF the new issue at home,
with the high rate OF per cent an induce
ment- Financiers regard Government bonds
the very best kind of an investment and
easily negotiable.
We are at some disadvantage in this city be-
cause OF our remoteness. Clearances are made
in New York for all points east of the Missis-
slppl, and in consequence when we do BUSH
ness with the East money must be transferred
by exchange The rate OF exchange f1uetuates
more or less, and the balance of trade is
against US, as money goes from West TO East
instead OF from East TO West in business. At
present, however, l believe exchange is at
par, so that it ought not to cost anything addi-
tional to buy bonds here.
Among several bankers the explanation
was given as to the apparent discrimina-
ton against San Francisco that it was
purely business proposition on the part
of the Government. As President He'll
man of the Nevada Bank put it:
1t was simply matter of business the Gov
eminent posing in the light of private indi-
vidual or corporation, requiring all expenses
10 be met in addition to the currant rate of
value bid for the bonds. Ii 104 was bid by
an investor here the cost of sending the money
to Washington, if any, would have to be paid
in addition.
Were the Government to make an allowance
or discount on su subscriptions at this end of the
country 1t would be more economical to dis
the higher rate was obtainable. At present
exchange on the East is a. para circumstance
in favor of local bidders.
Since Mr.. Campbell succeeded Colonel
John P. Jackson as Assistant Treasurer
So, 100000 of gold has been shipped from
this City to the East by the Government,
which is at rate of about $500, 900 for
every month

Elk Congressman Louttit Sues
on a Certificate of
Deposit.
PARIS KILBURNs STATEMENT.
He Does Not Think Other Creditors
Have Lost Confidence in
the Institution.

In the present complicated condition Of
the affairs of the Changers Bank, the suing
out of an attachment against the institu-
ton, which course was taken by ex-
Congressman Louttit yesterday, may pre-
cipitate a crisis which the bank mas been
trying to avoid for some time past.
When the bank closed its doors, through
a lack Of business to support it, a meeting
of a majority OF the depositors was held
and an agreement reached not to push
matters out TO allow the directors time to
settle its affairs and see whether
an arrangement could not be made
TO settle with the depositors in full.
Pursuant 10 this plan the directors set
about collecting amounts due the bank
and since the day when the doors closed
$4,000 has been brought in, making with
the amount on hand total of $50, 900.
Is was confidently expected that by jan
uary Il, the date for which the next meet
ing OF the board of directors was set,
the 500 600 due depositors would be on
hand and that on the 18th the doors would
be thrown open so that depositors might
get their money.
Mr.. Louttit, who held q certificate of de-
post for $3.50, apparently did not care to
wait, but began suit for the amount named.
Bank Commissioner Paris kilburn was
very much surprised when told of the &C.
ton taken by Mr.. Louttit.
Il saw Mr.. Louttit few days ago, when
he first spoke of instituting a suit" he
SAID, and explained the situation, and
that the directors were hopeful of getting
the amount necessary to settle in full with
depositors by the 14th inst. He seemed
willing, as were the other creditors whom
heard speak of the matters, to give the
directors a chance TO get the affairs OF the
bank into shape.
Some changes in the directory to take
place at the meeting set for the 14th inst.
were spoken OF, and it was hoDed that if
any were made it would enable the bank
TO raise money more readily. OF course
the filing OF the suit viii not help matters
any and may cause some of the other
creditors to become uneasy, but | hardly
think that there is great cause for alarm.
The bank can settle the matter by Civ
ing a bond to cover the amount, or it can
the $3.50, as IL has ample means at its com
mand. / think that i the depositors will
wait patiently until the 14th inst. their de-
mands Will be met i'll fun"
Mr.. kllburn stated positively that as far
as ne knew there was nothing il the sus-
pension OF the bank beyond what appeared
on the surface, aud that as Daniel Meyer
and other interested parties had showed
their confidence in an ultimate adjustment
OF its affairs by counseling a stay of pro-
ceedings, he did not see why the confidence
OF the creditors should be lost.

Sanborn CT the Burlington was appointed
to Draft an agreement suited to local con-
ditions.
This committee, however, was given to
understand that the document from the
head representatives in Chicago should
not be mutilated, so that all that could be
done was to add new sections demanded

report will be presented at meeting to
be held Immediately.
The agreement from Chicago is observed
by the agents as q secret communication,
and the most they would say about it was
that it peremptorily prohibited dealing
with brokers, and made the penalty for
reduction of passenger rates very drastic
measure. Under the new rules it will be
almost impossible for the ticket agents to
make a reduction in rates.

ASHWORTH DEMURS.
He Objects to the Suffieiency and the
Legality of the Accusation
Against Him.

A demurrer to the accusation against
Thomas Ashworth was filed in Judge
Stacks court yesterday. The grounds for
demurrer. as set forth, are technical in
character. 1t is alleged that the accusa-
ton does not state sufficient facts; that it
does not charge wilful or corrupt mseon-
duct; that it ''does not state the facts con-
stituting the offense in ordinary or concise
language, nor in such manner as to en-
able person of common understanding to
know what is intended; that no direct
charge is made and that the document is
generally insufficient and defective.

TO ANNUL A DEED.
Joseph Simon Sues for His Grand
mothers Property.

mothers Property.
Joseph Simon, by his mother, Caroline
Simon, is suing to have set aside deed
conveying lot on Montgomery street,
near Pacific. from Sarah Simon, his grand.
mother, to Annie Kasmelinski.
Sarah Simon died October 16, 1894. She
had taken great fancy to Joseph Simon
and had him constantly with her. She
purchased him clothes and treated him
always as her favorite. When she died it
was expected that her property would be
left to the boy, bat it was found that she
had died interstate and that the Montgom-
ery-street lot had been decided away
before her death to the defendant in the
suit.
The complaint alleges that the deed was
secured through undue influence, the old
lady not being mentally strong before her
death. The court is asked TO annul the
deed.
