VALLEJO, CAL, July 12.-There are
now nearly 1000 men employed at the

the construction department. Before the
month ends there will be 1000 men il that
department alone.
The work is on hand and needs to be
done. The Ranger is to have complete
overhauling. Engines are being taken ont
TO allow the ship carpenters to put new
wooden skin on the inside of the hull.
This will require much time. The Ranger,
when complete, will be modernized in
many respects. The new guns to be
mounted are OF an improved pattern.
Months will elapse before the Baltimore
can be repaired. The Concord has had it's
propeller removed preparatory 10 having
new wood backing placed on the shaft

LAW OF PUEBLO LANDS
City and County Attorney Ores
well Says the City Can
Not Sell Them.

City and County Attorney Creswell has
advised the Board of Supervisors that the
City cannot, under present existing laws,
sell any of the pueblo lands remaining in
its hands, and that, therefore, John Cen
ter cannot be forced to pay the remainder
of the purchase price of q portion of Mis-
sion block No. As, on which he was the
| highest bidder at recent sale.
Mr.. Creswells opinion is as follows:
To the Honorable, the Board Of Supervisors:
Mayor, TO the Board of Supervisors, under date
of March Is, 1896, inelosing the form of a
deed, shows the following facts, viz: That on
December 2, 1895, a resolution passed by
the board mo. 10 ,301, third series) empower
ing and requesting the Mayor to sell by public
auction, to the highest bidder, all that portion
of Mission block No. 4S belonging to the CITY
lying and being in the bed of Mission Creek
and that the proceeds OF the sale should be
paid thu into sheet tire CITY to the credit
under the authority of this reso-
luton Messrs. O.. +. Won Rhein & Co
were appointed by the Mayor to make such
sale, which was made after public notice to
John Center for $4,000, who then paid 10 per
cent of the amount of his bid; that thereafter.
on FEBRUARY 8, 1896. the matter OF said sale
ton (No. 1878, third ssrses) was PASSED
which reeited the facts of the sale, confirmed
the same and empowered and requested the
Mayor to convey the right, title aud interast
OF the City and County in the land sold to
John inter-; that deed was prepared by the
Mayor which purported TO convey the title nj
the City and County in the land to Mr. Cen
ter, which he declined to receive and refused
to pay the remaining 80 per cent OF his hid
alleging in substance his willingness to nav
provided the Clty could give him her title To
the land. ~ "
The Mayor, in his communication to the
board, suggests that en- action for SPECIFIC nar-
formance be commenced by the Civ against
MI. center TO compel him TO accept the deed.
prepared in consequence of the facts above
price. P"AeA"'o
Under the law OF the State fsection 1894
Civil Codef, ian agreement tor the sale OF nron-
erty cannot be specifically enforced in favor
OF seller who cannot give to the buyer a title

The question then squarely presents itself
Can the City give to Mr.. Center, at this time
title tree from reasonable doubt? If such a
title cannot be given by the City, then such
an action must inevitably fail
ID my opinion the City cannot now give Mr.
center such title. The land In question was

MINED IN NEVADA COUNTY
Where Richard P. Bland First
Became a White-Metal
Enthusiast.
Handled Pick and Shovel and "Bunked"
in Cabin on Relief
Hill.

NEVADA CITY, CAL, July 1.-THE
Transcript last evening said: Compare
lively few of our readers know of :he fact
that Hon. r. P. Bland, one of the promi-
nent candidates Tor President before the
National Democratic Convention at
Chicago this week, was once a resident
of Nevada County. In 1857 "Dick," as all
his acquaintance called him, lived at
Relief Hill and worked in the mines. He
also taught school for short time, find
ing the latter occupation more congeniai
to his nature than the lab0rious task or
welding pick and shovel.
Constable William Scott of this city was
mining on Relief Hill IN those days and
lived in the same cabin with Bland. This
cabin was about thirty feet long by
twenty wide and built OF double rows of
logs. In one end was a row of hunks in
which the men slept the cabin being
occupied by several miners, while a
kitchen was located at the other end of the
room.
This was the rough domicile in which
the future politician and statesman made
his home for several months.
After living at that place about year
Bland drifted over to Washoe, in the State
of Nevada. There he lived few years,
being on the Comstock when the silver
excitement was at its height. There he
formed the acquaintance of men who
afterward became prominent, and there
he gained an insight into the Importance
of the silver-mining industry that inilatpr
years caused him to appear as one OF the
strongest advocates in the halls of Con-
gress in favor of the white metal. Some
years later he returned 10 "the States
and located in Missouri, becoming one of
the foremost men of that State.

HILLSB0R0'S SENSATION.
Congressman-EIect Tongue Accused of
Conspiracy and 0Hprofessionai
Conduct

HILLSBORO, Or, July 12.-Zeera Snow
OF Portland and S. B. Huston of this city
have brou- hJ suit in the Circuit Court of
Washington County against Thomas H.
Tongue, ConGressman-elect for the First
District; Jackson Monroe, and James I'M
brie, clerks of Washington County. In the
complaint filed Tongue is charged with
having conspired Monroe and Imbrie
to defraud the plaintiffs out of one-half
interest in a judgment for $500. The
judgment stood in the name of Jackson
Monroe. but the compla int alleges that
Tongue was fully advised of plaintiffs
ownership of portion of the same. 1t is
also alleged in the complaint that Tongue
is the owner of a second mortgage on a
piece of land on which the judgment was
a prior lien.
Snow and Huston claim that Tongue.
although fully advised of their interest in
the judgment, colluded and conspired
with Monroe. and induced him, for CON
liberation, 10 satisfy the iudgm ent for the
. Irpose of defrauding the plaintiffs of
BIT interest in it, and ais o for the pur.
pose of letting Tongues NOR tgage in as a
prior lien.
The most serious com plication in the
charge, however, is the allegation that
ntigation over this judgment was still
pending. and in such litigation Snow and
huston represented Monroe, while Tongue
represented E nth Monroe. The claim Is
made that Tongue has been also guilty OF
unprofessional conduct.

The captain was bound hand and foot
amid much hilarity. Those who were not
busy binding him stood around and whis-
tied in the peculiar way which signifies
WIND and whiskers, for the captain has
not shaved since his arrival. Captain
haggerty was lifted up bodily and dropped
upon stretcher. He was then carried
over to the tent of the camp barber, while
the crowd followed behind, whistling.
All that saved Haggerty's incipient whis-
kers was the absence OF the barber 1t
was the intention OF ''de push to shang-

ROMANCE or AcNfREvlLLE.
Chance Meeting of Son of John Brown
and Son of the Sheriff Who
Hanged Him.

MCMINNVILLE. Or, July 1.-Two
men of historical connections met by
chance here during the Bimetallic Con-
vention Thursday. As is the custom in
all conventions in Oregon every delegate
does his best to get acquainted with every
other one, and all delegates converse with
each other whether acquainted or not
Several were going about introducing a
rather handsome man of 40 or thereabouts
whom they called Mr.. Booth of McMinn-
vile. They would say of him: "Mr.
Booth is the son of the Sheriff who hanged
John Brown OF Ossawatomie at Harper's
Ferry" This caused people to take more
than common interest in Mr.. Booth.
Finally Booth was introduced TO a man
OF excellent appearance. whose name was
Salmon Brown, After the introduction
Mr.. Booth and Mr.. Brown chaited very
pleasantly for minute or two.
Mr.. Booth" said Mr.. Brown, twas it
your father who hanged John Brown at
Harper's FerryT'
Yes" said Mr.. Booth. "He was Sher-
iff at the time and it was his duty to Of
hciate at the execution. No relative of
yours, hope?"
"only my father" was the quiet reply.
Mr.. Booth and Mr.. Brown walked to a
quiet corner in the hotel and talked over
Old times for half hour and shook hands
cordially when separating.

PORTLAND DAMAGE SUIT,
Emily House, a Schoolteacher,
Alleges Defamation of
Character.
Discharged From a Position Because
Accused CT Reviliny Ameri.
caniSm

PORTLAND, Or. July 12.-Emily
House, the English woman who recently
lost her position as teacher in the school
between Sandy and Fairview, because, it
was said, she taught an un.American doc
trine to her pupils. has filed suit in the
State Circuit Court against Andrew Hem
for $4,000 damages. HEM was instri-
mental in causing Miss House to lose Ter
position, and she AYERS that he slandered
her and DETAINED her character, and has
hut her standing and reputation as a
teacher. There are four distinct and sepa-
rate causes of action, as set forth in the
complaint, and on each count $4,000 dam
ages is asked.
The trouble was all caused, so the PLAIN
tiff says, by Hem accusing her of telling
the school children that the history of this
great American Republic was all lies, and
by otherwise conducting herself in an I'M
patriotic manner. The first $4,000 charge
that Miss House makes against the defend
ant is that In February, 1896 he spoke OF
her In the presence of numerous persons.
in the following terms:
''She is nothing but a traitor and is
teaching high treason"
The second charge is that HEM, on an
other occasion, said:
"She teaches the children that the his
tory of the United States is all lies; and
that is high treason, and she is insane, or
nearly So"
On May %, while testifying in case in
the Justice Court for the Powell Valley
District, the plaintiff says HEM again
stated that she taught the children high
treason, and that this answer on his part
was not responsive to the question pro-
pounded to him, and his statement was
made with malicious intent to injure her.

owner of the bark Benjamin Sewall, If the
testimony of dozen or so of sailors is to
be believed. Last month Captain Sewall
was tried, with Mate Smith OF the Sewall,
before the Federal Court in this city, for
extreme brutality in having beat and
abused Seaman Miller until the sailor, in
order 10 escape their torture, jumped over
board when the vessel was lar out IN the
Pacific and was drowned.
The jury brought in verdict OF guilty
against the mate, but found CAPTAIN Sc

FRASER RIVER GOLD.
San Frnnciscans Reapin0 a Harvest
From the BInck Snnd.

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 12.-It has
been known for long time that the black
sand of the Fraser river contained large
quantity of gold, but there was no Cana
dian company of sufficient capital or en-
terpr1se to work the sand in quantities.
At last the New Westminster Board of
Trade invited number OF San Francisco
capitalists to establish black sand pull
verizing works in New Westminster. On
the strength of this invitation a company
was formed in San Francisco. The COM
pany's works have been running night and
day for short time, and have treated $50
tons of sand scooped from the Fraser, ex-
tracing therefrom $500 in fake gold, or
$50 worth of gold to the ton. AS the black
sand of the Fraser is limitless, it is prob
able the company will reap rich harvest
OF gold. 1t is purchasing $50, 900 worth of
additional machinery.
